This was one of the most disappointing dining experiences…read more I ordered the rice and shrimp dish, and for $36, I expected much better quality. The rice was severely undercooked, and although the menu advertised tiger shrimp, the shrimp served were much smaller than the tiger shrimp I've had at other restaurants. The portion and quality simply didn't justify the price. The service was even more disappointing. We were a party of 17, and it felt like our table was an inconvenience. I personally asked for water three separate times and still never received it. No one at the table had their glasses refilled. There was little to no initiative to check on our table, refill drinks, or make sure we had what we needed. Instead, it felt like our server was rushing us through the meal. I understand that serving a large party can be challenging, but if one server wasn't comfortable handling a group of this size, they should have asked for assistance from other staff. Large parties deserve attentive service just like any other table. Overall, the combination of overpriced, underwhelming food and poor service made for a very disappointing experience. Unfortunately, I wouldn't return or recommend this restaurant based on this visit.

You can get them their fresh and warm. That's when they are at the best, but we were traveling and did not have time to get them warm. There are a couple ways to get them, they have the Regular Soft Pretzel, Pretzel Sticks, Pretzel Twists, Pretzel Rolls, Slider Pretzel Rolls, Cinnamon Sugar Pretzel Twists and Specialty Orders just to name a few. They do have a web site with all the ways they make Pretzels. If you want to get some, I would call them first to make sure they are open. They make these near Dover Pa. on a small building along Route 74. These are good Soft Pretzels and I give them 4 out of 5 stars. Follow me on FB for more reviews. Guld Coast Terry

Even though it's a small operation, this pretzel shop truly brings joy to our community. They also offer delicious breakfast sandwiches, pretzel dogs, and various tea and coffee options. I was lucky to get all three of my pretzels from the oven. I especially like how the cinnamon sugar pretzel is topped with icing instead of dust--it's much easier to eat and still gives you that sweet, satisfying treat. The staff are quick and friendly. If they're baking a flavor, they'll let you know how long you'll need to wait for that fresh batch. There's plenty of seating, both inside and outside on picnic tables, making it a perfect spot to relax and enjoy.

He has taken to having a soft pretzel for lunch and this just happened to be the perfect place for him. As far as the food, it was your basic pretzel fare. It is consistent throughout the chain and something that you can be dependent upon. My dad and niece seemed to enjoy it and when we came back after our trip around the remaining rows of shops they were finished. Service was steady, they kept the line moving. But while watching them get things together it was interesting. Especially when watching the drink station. Like the lady forgot how a cup work and I felt bad watching the guy waiting for his cup to be filled properly. It was like an odd situation and a bit cringe.

Pulling up, it's easy to judge a book by its cover. It's in an industrial part of town and doesn't look too exciting. But step inside for friendly service and lots of food and drink options. We ordered beers and sour ales. (They have three sour ales. I tasted all three, enjoyed them all, but landed on the Fruit Bowl sour ale.) To eat, we ordered the hot honey pepperoni pizza, fried chicken sandwich, cheese curds, and the mac and cheese for four of us. It's not the healthiest food for you, but it all tasted great. They have lots of space inside and have outdoor seating by a small playground that our daughter enjoyed.

Hammond's Pretzel Bakery is a historic pretzel bakery that opened in Lancaster, Pennsylvania in…read more1931. It was founded by baker William Lichty and his grandfather William Hammond. At the height of the Great Depression, Lichty had an idea to open his own pretzel bakery. He enlisted the help of Hammond: his grandfather and next-door-neighbor. Hammond had worked as a pretzel baker in the 1800s and brought with him an excellent recipe for sourdough pretzels. They set up shop in their adjoining garages, where the pretzels were rolled by hand and baked in a brick oven. Other family members soon came on board to assist in the operation. Lichty's daughter and son-in-law, Carol and Tom Nicklaus, took over the business in the 1970s. Today it is run by their son and daughter Brian Nicklaus and Karen Achtermann. Hammond's Pretzel Bakery is the oldest continuously family-operated handmade pretzel bakery in the United States. Still operating in the same location, and still rolling pretzels by hand, Hammond's bakes 1,500 pounds of pretzels on a daily basis. My family and I recently visited Hammond's Pretzel Bakery while we were traveling through Pennsylvania's Lancaster County. The area may be known for its rich Pennsylvania Dutch culture, but it's also known for its rich pretzel history and production. It just so happens that pretzels are my favorite snack! The bakery has a small retail shop for customers to buy pretzel products directly. It smelled amazing when we walked in. We also enjoyed watching the freshly-baked pretzels coming out on the conveyor belt. Hammond's produces a large variety of pretzel snacks: the most popular are their classic old-fashioned sourdough pretzels which come packaged in an iconic five pound orange-and-green can. We decided to stock up on multiple flavor varieties to snack on while we were on the road, including: "Buffalo Ranch", "Dill Pickle", "Garlic Herb", "Cinnamon Sugar", and "Chocolate Covered Clusters". They were all delicious! We don't get to Pennsylvania often, but I think it's safe to say that we'll be ordering more pretzel products from Hammond's online store in the future!

The pretzels from the oven come out right there in the gift shop on the conveyor belt. They even gave us a fresh pretzel off the line. So delicious! I bought about $20.00 worth of pretzels for family and friends back home in AZ/CA. The 2 ladies in the shop were very kind and helpful. They even gave us the tip to look in the 3 back windows of the building on the way out. We did, and we saw about 10 people hand rolling pretzels. YES....they hand roll each (big) pretzel. What attention to detail! Simply amazing. Must stop if you are back in Central PA.

Hi everyone, just wanted to leave a review of German Gourmet on Columbia Pike…read more Before I begin, I want to identify what the ingredients are for a classic Reuben. You'll need two slices of seeded or marble rye bread, about six ounces of thinly sliced corned beef or pastrami, two slices of sharp Swiss cheese, roughly a quarter cup of well-drained sauerkraut, and two tablespoons of Russian or Thousand Island dressing. A little butter for toasting the bread and optional spicy brown mustard round it out. That said, what I actually received was the absolute worst Reuben I've ever had in my entire life. They used ham instead of corned beef or pastrami, an insult to the name. The Swiss was bland and low-quality, not sharp at all. There was no mustard, barely any Thousand Island, and I couldn't even detect any sauerkraut. The bread wasn't toasted, and they still charged me $12.50 with tax. If this is what passes for a Reuben at a supposed German delicatessen, save your money and go somewhere that actually knows what they're doing.

I love a good hot dog, I don't care why they're made of, you can never make me hate hot dogs. And when I want a good hot dog that I know is gonna be amazing every time, I'm gonna get the pretzel dog. So here I was on a Saturday night and I smell that delicious pretzel dough, I hadn't eaten like all day so I got 3 pretzel dogs. I was full after 2 and just stashed the 3rd in my coat pocket because it was wrapped in foil and who's gonna know ?? Right, right. So I probably went to like 3 more bars after that. Got home, crashed. Woke up and was like "why is there a hot dog in my pocket?" And did I eat it? Yes I did and it was still delicious. Truly an ode to yet another fun night in fells. Not to mention the service is always friendly and fast. It's so convenient and it's right in the heart of the little square area. So it's always there if you need a little pick me up while hitting the bars or checking out some of the local shops, or even just sitting by the water and enjoying the weather. It's simple and it's yummy.
