    Great pizza, the frozen pina colada is amazing omg!! The servers are friendly and the atmosphere is very relaxed.

    There are so many breweries to choose from in the area but the name alone pulled me in Luckily, the beers were fantastic! In a world were the selection at many breweries, in my opinion, has run to too many hazy IPA's, Ponysaurus has an amazing selection. I got the flight of four and honestly couldn't pick a favorite.

    Ponysaurus Brewing is a Pizzeria and Beer Garden located in downtown Wilmington. It's a great spot offering 24 taps featuring their craft beers, a full bar, and a diverse menu that includes pizzas, sandwiches, burgers, and brunch options on weekends. The venue is pet-friendly, has outdoor seating in the front and back of the venue. The outdoor seating in the back is very spacious and has a beautiful outdoor fireplace. We visited just as they were finishing up the holiday decorating, it was super fun and festive. I will say the set up is a little funky in that the bar and food are completely separate as far as paying. You order your drinks, pay for them or keep an open tab and then have to use the QR code to view the menu / pay for your food. They have a $5 flatbread special on Thursdays which is a great deal! I got the blistered tomato and pesto flatbread, it was super flavorful and enough to leave you full. They have additional locations in Raleigh and Durham that I can't wait to check out!

    Monday night review do not heed! They have trivia, wasn't feeling it. Wanted to drink and chat. Plenty to drink nobody to chat. Looks like it is a good spot though. 1) Nice beer garden and dog friendly. 2) Big ass bar with lots of room. 3) I got a $12/4 beer taster and all were 4/5 stars.

    Folks, I left a review previously for this place. I really need to reiterate this sentiment. I. LOVE. THIS. PLACE. Great beer (and other beverages), great food, amazing vibe. Streamlined happy service! Post pandemic era, stay well-fed, well-treated AND clean with #QRCode #Untappd #pizzalover

    I really like this place and struggled between 4 and 5 stars. Here is the breakdown for this place. Drinks - 5 Stars Known for their beers on tap. Also have a full bar with cocktails and even about a half dozen frozen adult slushies. Very large bar area with plenty of seating. You have to order drinks at the bar, even if you are seated elsewhere. Food - 4 1/2 Stars Pizzas are the primary item showcased on the menu. Several specialty pizzas on the menu. Build your own as well. We did order a pizza and it was pretty damn good. All pizzas are 14" and to they appear to me to be Neapolitan style. Other food items to select from as well, including wings, sandwiches, salads, and bar type snacks. Ambiance & Location - 4 Stars Location is in downtown, just a block and a half from Front Street. Parking is street or deck, no private parking. Large outdoor area in the front. Seating inside has a large bar area and booths. First level and upstairs seating available. Very nicely decorated. Kid friendly, to a degree. They have signs posted to keep your kids under control. Dog friendly outside. Boomer Alert I say this with all due respect, but I would not recommend this place to my boomer mother. She would flip out. Why? - All drinks must be ordered at the bar, including non-alchohic drinks. Water is the only exception. - There are no menus. You scan the QR code at the bar stool or the booth to not only see the food menu, but to also order the food. You pay for the food in advance using the app. Someone then brings the food out when it is ready. I don't have an issue with this. To me ordering and paying in the app is very efficient. - You are expected to bus your own table. They even have specific bins to place glassware, plates and utensils. My only minor issue with Ponysaurus is having to go to the bar for a Coke. I get having to go to the bar for beer, but why not have a fountain station for Cokes and tea? Just my 2 cents.

    Yum!! Nice casual place to grab pizza/beer/wine and sit outside. You order drinks at the bar and bring them with you to your table, then order food online and someone brings it out to you. We both got a glass of Cab which was fine, I'm sure beer is more up their alley. The Margherita pizza was good, but the Chai Spice Zeppole was by far my favorite part of the meal! It's basically just little dough bites coated in chai/sugar topping with a delicious lemon dipping sauce. Would highly recommend!

    Brewery in downtown Wilmington. Super cute location go to the bar to order your drinks and there's a QR code to scan for food, food is delivered right to your table. It's Easy!! Food was delicious! Liked our beer flight, they have a choose 4 or 5 option. Waitstaff and everyone we came across was super friendly and helpful. My only complaint was the white pizza's crust was kinda of soggy. I'm not sure if it's because the liquid in the ricotta or what just wanted to give you feedback! Great business model & I'll be back!

    What a cool vibe. Go to the bar and order for drinks or sir at a table and scan and your food will be out. Look at the pics and come and see Nick in human form or your friendly dinosaur outfit. Make it work people!

    Ponysaurus Brewing Co. offers a unique and inviting atmosphere that's perfect for beer enthusiasts and casual drinkers alike. The brewery features a long taproom and a large outdoor beer garden that's dog-friendly, with unique shady spots making it an ideal spot to relax. The decor is quirky and aligns well with the playful brand name, featuring some small dinosaur motifs that add a touch of whimsy. There's a couple awkward areas that could be more convenient to move around, but otherwise a pleasant and interesting layout. The large outdoor area has a "secret garden" feeling to it. A nice surprise. Makes me want to visit the Durham location, since this is just a smaller version apparently. Ponysaurus boasted a diverse range of beers, and there's definitely something here for every palate. Seasonal brews and experimental beers seem to also regularly be featured. The staff was super friendly and passionate about their offerings. The couple I had an indepth conversation with also were well-versed in the nuances of each one.

    It was a quiet, rainy, and chill Sunday. The pizza was good the knots were hot, and the beer was cold. I'd recommend the "Don't Be Mean."

First the service…read morewhen you walk in is very accommodating we got our table switched over before we even sat with no issues. We take a look at the menu and notice that the pricing even for being downtown was very fair and somewhat surprisingly cheap. Especially once the food came out, they could be charging 50% more and I'd still be happy. The mac & cheese is something I've never tasted before very different but comfortable at the same time I believe three different cheeses are in it. I don't really like waffles or pancakes, but my girlfriend told me to try the potato pancakes and they blew my mind with the chive, sour cream and applesauce sides.. Now we could've just ordered from the appetizer menu since everything seemed perfect from there, but the Brussel sprout appetizer was by far my favorite with poppyseed vinaigrette. We had plenty to take home, and I finished it off the next day still amazed at how well it was put together. I got the chicken schnitzel for my main and it is perfectly prepared and cooked. The breading was fantastic crunchy in every delicious way I even use the applesauce as a dip along with the mushroom sauce that it came with my girlfriend got the Rachel sandwich and she loved her choice as well. Overall, everything we ate from the appetizer menu to main course menu to even the french fries and dipping sauces was phenomenal and again I cannot stress it is enough. The price is unbelievable for this quality of food.

We started walking around and my wonderful wife suggested Copper Penny. Absolutely! There was a short wait for a table, but we didn't mind. The inside is almost like we remember it.

It was a little embarrassed after spending $192, on food and drinks for 4, with glasses still full of alcohol when we're were asked to leave. We were told that they are enforcing a 90 min in restaurant visit...to the point where they don't care if we had finished our beer/alcohol...clearly they just wanted us out. I've been to a lot of restaurants all over the world but this was the first time in my life that I was asked to leave...we weren't loitering we only wanted to finish our drinks before leaving...the person didn't look at our situation...was very black and white, "you've been here more than 90mins". Their food is good, they are as popular as ever but clearly not a place for people who want to chat and hang out...copper penny is a restaurant not a hangout spot...to me that's loud and clear. As someone who isn't in Wilmington often I rely on my previous experience as a stating point to my ( restaurant) choice. This experience was so jarring that I'll never recommend copper penny to anyone. The food is good but they really don't want or need non local business!
