I've never experienced this before but was happy that we at least got our beer. My husband ordered an IPA and I got a flight (per usual!) I had looked at the website prior and while they list their flagship beers, they do not have a list of their seasonal offerings until you get into the brewery. I must say that I was much more impressed with the selection once we got there. We went outside to sit (it was a BEAUTIFUL day!) and were lucky enough to get a seat in the shade. The view was absolutely spectacular. If you love Buggs Island Lake (or Kerr Lake as this North Carolinian calls it), you will love this view. It's honestly the best part of this place. You can plenty of water, the bridge coming into Clarksville, and the train trestle. I must point out that you couldn't go wrong sitting inside in the AC either. It's decorated very nicely! We finally got notified that we were now able to order our food. We went to the window and let them know what we wanted. We were then given another buzzer that would let us know when our food was ready. (I'm a bit baffled by this process to be honest.) We ordered another beer. My favorite was the S'mores Porter (this was a seasonal option). Very tasty and VERY reminiscent of a S'more. My husband really enjoyed the Hazy Lake Day IPA. Our food was ready in the middle of our second beer. I got the smash burger and the hubs got the catfish bites. My smash burger was pretty good but the fries were just okay...they were not crispy...at all. Very floppy. They were warm though so at least that. The real star was the catfish. Cooked and seasoned perfectly, it was delicious. We also got some pimento cheese to go. It came with 2 packets of Stacy's Pita chips but I thought it was a little pricey for $8. Overall I was satisfied with the food, I will just try a different side next time. When it came time to close our tab, it asked if we wanted to tip, 18, 20, or 25% on our total bill. I only tipped on the beer since I had to get up to order my food and then go retrieve it myself as well...I did not mind doing that, I just don't think that's a procedure worth tipping. All of the bartenders were very pleasant. This really was a wonderful afternoon with friends. I probably won't come during the summer since I imagine it being crowded, but I will definitely return in the fall or next spring. I wanted to purchase a pint glass but they didn't have them. They only had the 5 oz flight glasses. Hopefully they will get some in the future! Ps. They do have a designated parking lot but it seems to get full fast. Not sure if you're allowed to park at the hotel next door or not!

The space itself is nice--plenty of seating inside and out, a private room in the back, clean bathrooms and even a stage where live music was playing during our visit. But the food situation was confusing. They have a full kitchen and menu listed, yet when we arrived, they were only serving food from a BBQ food truck/side business. Not sure if it was a staffing issue, a special event, or just how they do things on certain days, but it definitely wasn't clear for someone just passing through. Beer-wise, they had a decent range of styles, but nothing really stood out flavor-wise. Everything was just... okay. Not bad, but not memorable. Service was similar--there seemed to be only one guy behind the bar running things while the rest were tied to the BBQ setup. He wasn't rude, just not super engaged. All in all, this place was fine, but nothing WOWed me. With a little more clarity on the food, a stronger beer lineup and more upbeat staff, it could be a much better stop for travelers passing through, or even the regulars.

I've been to the Raleigh location as well, check out the review if you want to know more. Panysaurus over all is a cool place (either location) but they have drastically different vibes - which in my book is a good thing. The Durham location brings you an awesome patio scene! The bar itself is a bit small but their indoor/outdoor approach makes it seem huge. The patio is two floors, both covered, one just off the bar and the other right about that which has a few TVs for those interested. Off of the patio is a nice size "beer garden" sitting area complete with picnic tables and a great view. If you are looking for chill family friendly patio vibes this is the place to be! I really love Ponysaurus beer, their pilsner is nice but their kolsch is my favorite. If you've been to the Raleigh location, the Durham menus is not the same. Yes they have pizza but it doesn't seem to have the same options - still good though. We went with a hankering for the hummus we got at the Raleigh location, again the Durham location had hummus but a different variation. One thing that's consistent with both locations is the amount of pita that came with the hummus, there is nothing worse than getting a huge bowl of hummus and only a few pieces of hummus or chips. Both locations knocked it out of the park. Plenty of WARM pita for everyone. This location is somewhat self-service, the bartender obviously poured out beer and there is a cute window for picking up snacks but no table service.
