Dees Brothers Brewery

If I could put no stars, I would. We came here to have some food before a concert we were attending up the road & I ordered the Veggie Flatbread & vegan mac & cheese.Ordered my food & told them, "No red onions please. I'm allergic to onions."They were extremely busy & I'll give SOME leeway for that which is why we waited as long as we did with no complaints. I'm honestly very forgiving in situations like these when there's a city event going on. Waits are to be expected & fine. So we waited. Had a couple of beers. Food came out. I looked at the server (Lacey) & said, "No onions, right?" She confirmed there were no onions. I ate the veggie mac & cheese which was good (there's the one star to my review I suppose). I went to take a piece of my flatbread & there was a long onion strand that slid off of it under the cheese. Upon further inspection, there were onions all over the flatbread under the cheese & cucumbers. My husband took my plate back to the bar to get a refund because our time was running short & we couldn't wait again for them to remake it. Lacey came over to process the refund on her handheld device. I told her that it was a good thing I looked because I had an onion allergy & it would've been a WHOLE lot worse of a situation had I bit into the flatbread. She made the excuse that they were extremely busy & they probably saw "no red onions" & put white ones on there instead. I asked why they would do that because the menu didn't say one thing about "white onions" being a part of the flatbread & for someone like myself who has a food allergy, that could be extremely dangerous. She reiterated that they were really busy & she didn't know what was going on in the kitchen. I offered the advice that she may want to let her manager know what happened & that's when she told me she was one of the managers. Lacey didn't offer ONE single apology. Basically, just told me to get bent because they were busy today. Let's me know they don't really need my patronage at all & I was super polite about everything because I knew they were busy. That's fine. I'll not be back. Thank you.

Overpriced beer, nice bartenders but they view you more as a customer rather than a guest. Seems to be a good atmosphere though, the vintage arcade games were barely working but a nice touch!

Shoutout to Austin who literally knows what we want when we walk through the doors! Side pours for life!

Absolutely loved this brewery. Stopped in after eating in the area for a few beers. We tried the Vivaciously vindictive vidicator and Hipster potion #4. Both were delicious and refreshing. Service was great as you walked right up to the bar and were served almost immediately. They have the option for outdoor or indoor seating. It was a good size brewery.

This visit for me was five stars, perfect location just coming from Sanford airport 10 min, looking for beer and this fit the bill. Oh and Don't let me get started on the Hot nuts, these things for me we're like heaven. I think I was a hot nut boiled nut virgin, oh and the way to go these things were boiled in beef and pork, served with that juice some of the meat all together, this little bowl of hot nut goodness. Yum yum. And my hot Italian beef sandwich was five stars also, with the sport peppers and bowl of au jus, so tasty l even added a little beef juice from my nuts. Loved this place, go get the nuts. So glad l stopped.

Cool place! Great beer. Super friendly service. Food is good, not awesome. A little weird having to grab a menu when you come in and order at the "Order Here" stand for both your beer and food. I have seen that maybe at least one other time, but that place was huge. This place is very small in comparison, but I actually appreciate the labor savings. I am sure I will be back here at some point! I wish Dees Nuts came in a form other than peanuts... though the spicy and savory offerings are temping to get just for the name.

Great people, great food and beer. A true gem. We enjoy visiting particularly before and after events at the Ritz. They support the Ritz too! One thing on the menu that is really delish is the Swedish Meatball Sandwich! Great Swedish meatballs on Italian bread, some cheese and a drizzle of LINGONBERRIES! It is super good.

I found this brewery while antiquing in Sanford and what an incredible find! My husband ordered the hazy beer and I tried both sours and we loved them! For lunch we ordered the Italian beef sandwich with hot peppers and it was so delicious! There were two bartenders working and both were attentive and friendly. We will be back!

The Perfect Family-Friendly Brewery!We've been coming here for quite some time, and it's honestly one of the most welcoming spots in Sanford. The owners, manager, and staff go out of their way to make sure everyone feels comfortable, especially our daughter, who struggles with severe social anxiety. Their kindness and attentiveness have made this her favorite place, and it means the world to us as parents.They support small businesses and local charities... have specialty food on occasions... offer a variety of entertainment options from Monday Night Football to Trivia, Bingo, and FAMILY movie night! The atmosphere is always lively yet relaxed, and the video games are a hit with our kids--there's never a sense of them being "managed," -except by US of course... just genuine enthusiasm from the staff to see them enjoy themselves. We've also hosted family parties here, and the team couldn't be more accommodating.The only minor downside? Sometimes there are a few parents who seem to treat the space like a daycare, letting their kids run wild -feral- without supervision. That's hardly the brewery's fault, and overall, this place has been a sanctuary for our family outings. If you're looking for a family-friendly brewery with exceptional staff and a warm atmosphere, this is the spot in downtown Sanford!Oh- and just for the record... the beer- PHENOMENAL!!!! Oh yeah, so is the food!!!!!

We went to play bingo to support The Ritz on Tuesday. I put that first as I have to remind myself why I didn't walk out. We'd heard good things so we decided to eat there as well. Luckily, none of us were very hungry. Nothing great, but I was most unimpressed. I ordered Mac and Cheese. It came in a tiny paper cup that was half full. It took every fiber of my being to keep from asking where the other half was, remembering why we were there. It was literally a dollar a bite. None of us are beer drinkers so, TTFN!
