Panacea Brewing Company

The atmosphere, staff, and food here is all great. But if you’re fully vegan you should know that their fried “plant based” items are still fried with the “omnivore” items so those dishes aren’t actually vegan.

One menu but everything can be made two ways: vegan or omni. We had two big salads with grilled tofu, and a side of mac & cheese, all made vegan. Their kombucha is great and the whole place has a super cool vibe.

Me and my boyfriend went here to have dinner and he’s been here before, he said it was fully vegan, good food, and the trash burger was good, it was a pretty big burger and not normal size and thought it worth the price which is $17. First the service was not great, our server was literally never there at our table checked on us one time. We asked for our order and we very clear about what we wanted and he had messed it up. It is NOT fully vegan and they automatically assume you want animal products, my boyfriend gets really nervous about these types of places because not only is he fully vegan, he also has a medical problem and cannot have any type of meat or animal products and can get very sick just from it coming into contact with his food. The burger was $17 and it was the same size as any normal burger but with cheese on top, it came out soggy. My biggest issue is when the waiter TOOK money out of MY account, the burgers were $17 a burger and was not worth it and I didn’t have much money to spend so I ended up not tipping, which is something I usually do not do. I filled out the receipt and put a line through the tip and put the total. I woke up the next morning with a notification saying that the waiter took a $2 tip out. I am not mad about the fact he took $2 out, I am mad because he took any money at all. I don’t recommend coming here.

If you have not tried this place, you have to come over here right now. It’s not just a meal, it’s a whole experience. The atmosphere is amazing, like a chill little place you’d find in Seattle and the food ?️??️. I came for the mocktails (get the Elderberry Moon-it will blow your mind.) but 1. This is the best pimento cheese ive ever had in my life, the vegan ranch is crazy good and bro VEGAN GOUDA! im not even vegan! For real, this was my first time here but it will NOT be my last. Literally cant wait to come back. Thank you so much Robin for this special place, and Jackson is perfect at what he does. You guys rock. ❤️❤️

The burger was blissful. The kombucha was mostly good. The customer service was smiley!

Enjoyed peach basil kombucha and Mac n buffalo burger with shrimp salad. The shrimp salad had excellent flavor and taste.
The panacea Korean bbq and orange chili lime chicken wing tasted slightly overcooked and dry but the sauce was good.

Love the fried chicken tenders

Finally after 2 years I made it!! 2 family trips and I have missed my timeline to eat from here. But 3rd times a charm! I had the oyster mushroom sandwich. I've had the processed patties and the Seiten but I love when there is a veggie option. Overall I am pleased with the sandwich. The Buffalo ranch dressing was a great pairing/dip for my sandwich. Also had the potstickers, a great option. They were full and tasty! I also had the bangin shrimp, not the best I've ever had but another good alternative. Can't wait to come back and try some other options.

I’ve been coming here for about two years, now. I’m vegan and loved all their delicious options. Now that they offer omni AND plant based is amazing because my favorite vegan choices can now be had by omnivores. It makes it easier to go out with friends who might prefer an omni choice. Thank you, Panacea, for continuing to give vegans such wonderful choices. ?

We love this restaurant! We loved it all Vegan and still love It now that they have integrated non plant based. What a concept, offering your entire menu in both options, satisfying everyone! We happen to have a large amount of plant based eaters in our family and the ones that aren’t can easily eat vegan, however it is nice to have choices. Thanks for making what we are sure was a difficult choice. We are committed to supporting you and hope others will follow suit. No one should judge this business for making this difficult choice. We’d rather have them here, offering non vegan options, rather than losing them completely and not have the opportunity to enjoy the many super delicious vegan options they continue to prepare!

Incredible vegan menu - including cauliflower wings. I like to take my non-vegan Mom here because there are options for both of us!

Food, atmosphere and drinks were incredible. So happy and grateful for a place that has mocktails
.

They started serving meat- which I’m guessing it was a business standpoint to be more inclusive but I think with a concentration on that their vegan food started to fail- I came here every time we visited the beach and it was always my favorite- one of the best parts of going to the beach was this place and this last time I went everything went down hill- everything was greasy more than usual- the fries lost their [censored] l and they didn’t have that usual tangy sauce with it- they used to have an seitan chicken nugget that my son would get that was really good and looks like we got served some type of morning star nugget now- my dinner was lacking in flavor as well- fell like I’ve made better- overall disappointing to see this place fall so hard

Felt more like a restaurant than a brewery but we enjoyed sitting at the bar. Live music and hard kombucha were very nice.

This is the best restaurant in Wilmington! Great vibes and awesome food!
