Sandwich de Pierna
Allen B.

Wow! I'm really glad I found this place. I lived in the Dominican Republic for two years, and the flavors here were such a great reminder of that time. Total blast from the past! Cady was an awesome server -- super friendly and gave great recommendations. I tried the Sandwich de Pierna, and it tasted just like the ones I used to eat in the Dominican. So good! The restaurant had a cool vibe and was very clean. I'll definitely be coming back!

Green tacos with chicken
Carol R.

In a world of breweries, Panzu stands out with its Dominican food menu. The wings were some of the best I have had, and I do not say that lightly. The jerk sauce was so good. The green tacos with chicken were filling and tasty as well. Perfect combination of creamy avocado, savory chicken, crispy cheesy tortillas, and tangy pickled veggies. Def worth the drive from CLT!

Great neighborhood brewery and honored to have been there on their opening day! Great selection of beers and food and overall great vibes! I love the outdoor patio I was lucky to have been there when there was a live band that night. I wish I wasn't in a good coma from dinner as I would have loved to try some of the Caribbean/Latin food that they had on the menu. Will definitely visit again the next time I'm in the area and will make sure I try the food. The service that night was fast and friendly! Make sure you check them out!

Ponzu is a perfect addition to Mint Hill! We walked in and sat down right away. There is a large patio out front and a small one about back. Inside is spacious and designed well! The bar has plenty of stools and there are tvs throughout to watch the games. The service was incredible! We loved our waitress. Ponzu has Caribbean tapas that are delicious. We got the AREPA PELUDA, PIÑA COLADA CEVICHE, TAINO FRIES (with the smoke spicy mayo yummmmm), and the MAJAO MAJAO. Everything was delicious. Ponzu isn't serving their own beer yet, but they will be in about 5 weeks. We had a great time and will definitely be back!!!

We enjoyed our time here! It's open seating, and we were approached and served very quickly! Food was delicious (the flan was super thick and tasty), drinks were great and the service was quick and friendly! It was cozy and a welcoming place, we will be back!

Yelp recommended this brewery with a Latin flavored menu and was not disappointed. When we walked up the chef was getting the grill ready to finish off some of their ribs and knew we were in a good place. Started out with their chips and guacamole which was excellent with a large serving. Their IPA has great flavor and body that went nicely with an arrangement of fried items on one of their sampler plates. Everything we tried had very unique flavor combinations and no two dishes were alike.

Oh man, I hope Mint Hill's first brewery is here to stay FOREVER!!!! LOVED LOVED LOVED IT! The food there is delicious, we tried the jerk chicken wings and arroz con pollo. The beer is amazing, you gotta get that pint of sunshine...FIRE! The atmosphere is light and fresh, they have both outdoor and indoor seating. A nice bar area and beer board. And best of all a 5 min drive from where we live. The service was great as well. We will be regulars for sure.

We love Panzu. The food and beer is great and the seasonal cocktails are the bomb. We love Cady: the best server! Pint of sunshine is our favorite beer and the bees knees cocktail is fantastic

Patio

Stopped in for a beer to check it out. First, parking is limited behind the building. Inside decent sized bar but all seats were taken. Not too many tables, seemed first come first serve. We sat outside, several picnic tables but it was chilly and even though they had heaters they were not on. Bartenders were friendly enough and they had a basic selection of their own beers but most priced higher than expected. The menu is very eclectic. We didn't try any food, but it would have been hard to find something we liked since the menu was very different. May stop back again and give it another shot!

I'm not going to lie, any time a new brewery opens I tend to go in with low expectations just because there are so many around Charlotte. We waited to visit until they had a selection of their own beer and I'm glad we did. The Hefeweizen was the group favorite, the IPAs didn't blow anyone away, and I enjoyed the blonde. We went on a Thursday night and grabbed a table easily. Our server and the bartender were super nice and friendly. We ordered quite a few things off the menu and man, I was blown away by the food. Things we ordered: Canal de la Mona - hands down best thing we ate. Incredible, five stars, can't wait to eat again Arepa- very good, best arepa I've ever had? Maybe not but the chicken was good and I liked the sauce Las Mariposas- the yucca ball was my favorite. The street corn coquette had a mushy inside I didn't love and the fried cheese was just okay. Wings- plenty of them, I thought the jerk had a kick but I'm a wimp Empanadas- our friends ordered these but they looked good

Arroz Con Pollo
Matt S.

Panzu is one of my new favorite spots in Mint Hill. For an area that has mainly classic bar and grill type of spots, this Dominican/Carribean fusion is a great switch up! The arroz con pollo is served for lunch only and very tasty. Smothered in manchego cheese sauce and sprinkled with paprika, and a sliced avocado on top I can confidently say this was a 10/10. Staff is very welcoming and pretty quick as well. I l noticed they have been hosting salsa and bachata lessons and night which I will most definitely have to check out soon!

Run, do not walk, to Panzu! A group of us (my Soul Sisters) went to dinner this evening to celebrate a birthday. We were lucky enough to meet one of the owners, Rosa. Really gracious, funny and warm individual. Can I just tell you? Even though we didn't get the benefit of the lunch menu (WE WILL BE BACK FOR LUNCH!) the tapas menu was amazing. We tried a variety of items on the menu. I apologize, it was such a big group that I didn't get pictures of everything. The wings are wonderful. Empanadas, Tostones, fried yucca, pork belly, guacamole and pickled veggies!? Fabulous!! I could go on and on - the sauces/dips? Soo good! My favorite is always going to be the chimichurri but ALL were great. Take a look at the menu on their website because oh my goodness I need the caramelized onion grilled cheese for lunch without a doubt. Now as far as beer? I cannot speak to that BUT: all individuals at the table, there were 11 of us total - everyone was very happy with their beverage! Seriously? food alone will have us coming back time and again. I'll repeat, the owner we met was a really wonderful individual, very genuine. Got to support local - we HIGHLY recommend the food, and establishment. Oh by the way tonight they had trivia and can I say out of 11 women - hello?! The girls rocked it, dominated lol! I'm excluding myself because I know nothing about basketball or beer lol! It was a fun and amazing time - thank you so much Panzu, for a brilliant evening. We will DEFINITELY BE BACK!!

Arepa Paludas
Samantha L.

I'm so excited that this brewery has finally opened in Mint Hill! I really like how the menu is Caribbean inspired. They haven't started serving their own beers yet but the brewing has commenced (they have a large list of guest taps in the meantime.) I recently tried some of their menu items and want to come back and try some more. I started with the Arepa Peludas which were delicious! I really liked the Aji sauce on top. I then ordered the Yuca fries which come with an option of two dipping sauces. I tried the smoked mayo and the creamy habanero. The smoked mayo was my favorite and it had a nice spicy kick to it. The creamy habanero had a sweeter taste to it. My only issue with the fries were that some of them still had pieces of the yuca root in them which was inedible - but the ones that didn't were very tasty. My only other suggestion for the business is to replace the seats on the bar stools - it's very prickly if you are wearing leggings!

My review is based off of service and the awesomeness of that monster beef rib I purchased…read more Before this visit, I had only heard about this location. Not being a beer drinker, this was not really on my radar... until I saw that they were now selling beef ribs. At this time, they only sold them about one or twice per week. Having gained an affinity for beef ribs from a famous BBQ joint outside of Charlotte, to have an opportunity to have them within a few minutes drive seemed too good to be true. After arriving and placing my order, I conversed with the young man taking orders at the bar about the joys of all things bbq and how I'd been talking this place for a few weeks now. He informed me that I would be in for a treat as their ribs were superb. After a short wait, I received my bag and I went home. Let me tell you, I fancy myself a bit of a food photographer but my picture did not do this rib justice. For that I apologize... it was epic. I took a bite... why do I hear "Careless Whisper" playing in my head?? Truly the things dreams are made of... Long story short, great food, great service, great location. This place is A1! I highly recommend you give these guys your business and if they have beef ribs for sale that day... well you know what to do.

I was in Concord for an event and hadn't been here so I wanted to check it out. The bartender was super friendly and very knowledgeable about the beer zone tap. I chose the Shifty hazy IPA and was very impressed. It was honestly one of the best hazy ipas I've ever had. I was disappointed that they did not have it in cans or I would have taken them home. If you're in Concord definitely swing by and check out this place.

It's not in my usual neighborhood hangout but easy to get to and in a good area by the university. Plenty of parking in the lot and they had a tamale food truck on site when I arrived. I ordered a soft drink from the bar and sat at a high top. It's a large open space inside and they have a good amount of patio seating too. There was a chess club going on and then later in the evening they hosted music bingo, so they definitely have a good lineup of regular activities going on. The bee was fun, a little short, but it's always interesting to learn new words, meet new people etc. I ordered some birria tacos from the food truck and enjoyed those.

One of the things I love most is how dog-friendly it is. On one visit, they even hosted a shelter event with adoptable dogs - very heartwarming to see. It really adds to the welcoming, community-focused feeling. The space itself is another big plus--there's plenty of room to spread out, and the large tables make it comfortable for groups without feeling crowded. They always have a food truck on-site, which is a nice touch. Each time I've gone, it's been Hot Tamale, which I do enjoy, but it would be great to see a bit more variety in the food truck rotation. Overall, it's a laid-back, spacious, and inviting brewery with good beer and a great atmosphere. Definitely worth checking out!
