We'll be back - Edit
Daily special Thai Peanut noodles with dumplings was very flavorful and a large serving so I get to take some home to enjoy again. This was our first visit but we will be back our next time through town.

As tourists, it was great to have some local style vegan food and it all tasted amazing! We loved having lots of kombucha flavours to choose from and we bought a few cans to take home with us too.

Hasn’t quite hit for me - Edit
I love going to an all vegan restaurant! But I’ve been twice now and both times have been so unimpressed that I can’t even remember what I ordered. I felt kind of bad taking all my omni friends there since nothing they got really wowed them either. i do love a fresh kombucha over bottled though so that’s awesome

I agree I been there once, and what I ordered did not impress me. The cauliflower was over bearded, and I forgot what else I ordered because I was sitting there thinking to myself is this really vegan? It's just over cooked vegetables with thick breading on it was not healthy just something to call vegan

Greatest Food in the Area - Edit
Excellent relaxing atmosphere with out door seating. Very nice and clean with a bar. Great customer service with kind and welcoming people. The IPA is very good and the restaurant offered a great variety of different burgers that are all vegan. Everything was very delicious from the “Trash Burger” to the fries, to the house-made ranch, and the artichoke dip and sides. Also prices are like a normal restaurant and not extra expensive because it’s vegan food. The prices are fair as you would expect at any other sit down restaurant. Exquisite cuisine all around and cannot give this place enough stars!! Go and enjoy!

Love this place - Edit
I am a van lifer and seek out vegan food wherever I go! This is one of my favorites, and I wish I could have tried everything on the menu. If I were local, I would visit often. I met Timothy in line before ordering. He offered some suggestions and I went with the tacos. So good! Thanks, Timothy. If I'm in the area again, this will be my first stop.

Love a place with an entirely vegan menu, as a treat - Edit
All vegan menu and solid selection of kombucha and cocktails. Went for Sunday brunch and it was extremely pleasant. Had the chili cheese fries, fried pickles, chicken biscuit and biscuits n gravy, blueberry blackberry basil kombucha, blackberry old fashioned, tequila sunset and a kombucha mimosa. I think they may use the gardein ultimate chicken products. Everything was very good and the vibes were immaculate and we were able to visit the game store next door. Only complaint is the old fashioned was very sweet.

Excellent Thanksgiving - Edit
We were renting a house in Carolina Beach with the extended family and didn’t want the hassle of preparing Thanksgiving for 9 people with diverse diets. We discovered Panacea a week before we arrived and ordered an array of dishes we could pick up the day before Thanksgiving, including Mac and cheese, stuffing, lentil loaf, kale, pies, and more. All delicious, as was the lunch we had when we stopped by to grab our food. Lovely people and good service, too!
