    Tasty and great quality pretzels! Gnarly Knots was paaaaaacked for a Tuesday afternoon. It's a…read morepretty minimalistic rustic spot that has all the essentials. All the tables were full and customers were constantly coming and going. I can see why after checking em out. Pricing is fair. If you compare it to auntie Anne's they are cheaper with better quality ingredients being used. Service was very quick - there is a kiosk at the front counter or you're able to order with a staff member. Within 5 mins our snack was ready. My husband and I tried a salted pretzel with nacho cheese sauce and creamy mustard sauce. The pretzel itself was cooked perfectly. Texture wise it was somewhat crispy on the outside with a very fluffy center. The nacho cheese sauce was better than cheese sauces I've had before. The creamy mustard was reallll good, we ended up taking the remainder of it home so we could use it for something else.

    Went at the Lilac Arts & Craft Festival today and stopped into Gnarly Nuts for the first time. It…read morewas quite busy because of the festival, but the line went quickly and the staff was on top of everything. My husband and I ordered a pretzel dog and the Monte Cristo stuffed pretzel to share. I loved the pretzel dog, it was my favorite. A good sized hotdog wrapped in pretzel with salt sprinkled on top, so yummy! The Monte Cristo stuffed pretzel was served with a raspberry serrano jam. It was tasty, but my husband and I thought it tasted better with mustard. It was good, but their pretzel dog won out over that. Next time I'm in the area, I'm going to revisit this restaurant. They have a lot of pretzels and stuffed pretzels to try.

    If you know me even just a little bit then you know customer service is a HUGE part of my…read moreexperience. I love, love, love Ben's Pretzel's. Way more than a diabetic should. So I eat here way more than I should. ^_~ But the customer service today was horrible. I mean, the worst I've EVER had. From anywhere. And I go to a lot places. There was no one else in the store but the girl behind the counter was acting like I was holding her up. She was snarky and rude. Thumping my pretzels on the counter as if it wasn't my lunch... Omgoodness. I was starving. Still I didn't say anything. Cuz I'm nice. I let her finish up packing up my order. Paid her. Then was gonna leave with my pretzel. When she said, in her snarky, rude manner... You're welcome. Then I was done. I looked at her and told her I didn't thank her cuz she was rude. And proceeded to walk to my car. Seriously. If I hadn't have been STARVING I would've given it back to her and asked for my money back. But did I mention I was starving?! I will just never be a skinny girl... #shrug But I am happy to leave the one star that Yelp requires because the pretzels really are so yummy. However, if she's working I'll just starve. I won't go back. For real though. 1.24.19 1:45 PM

    Was looking for German food again when I came to Chicago for a work trip. I already tried the one…read morein the loop so I ventured out to this place. The reviews advertised authentic German food. As a German I had to try it. The potato pancakes were a good start, tasted like mom used to make. The Platter had a lot of food. I don't know what region this place is from, the sauerkraut and Blaukraut were not Bavarian, the Spätzle felt ready made and not home made. The Bratwurst was too fine for me, I'm thinking north German. The strudel was good tho. The service was fantastic! From host to server they took care of me and made sure I wanted for nothing, so I can't complain there. Decor wise this looks like what you'd imagine a German restaurant looking like in the US. Lots of banners advertising beer and German flags hanging on the walls with a collection of steins everywhere you look. Overall it's not "authentic" for me, but the food tasted good and the service was exceptional.

    The Staff here at Edelweiss Restaurant is dressed up nicely in Bavarian, Black-Forest, Rhineland,…read moreand Saxon-German outfits, like Lederhosen, Dirndls, and other Disneyland-style Costumes, which makes things extra fun, especially when the accordion starts being played in an "Um-Pah" way. At Christmas time (Weinachten), the staff at Edelweiss Restaurant decks the entire places out like a Christmas Market (Weinachtmacht) in Munich. It is Delightful. I have eaten here many times, over numerous decades. It is a 5 minute drive from the cemetery where my entire family is buried. Oktoberfest 2025 begins on Saturday Sep. 6 and goes until Sunday Nov. 2 (it is a lot of fun if you like beer and live traditional German songs. I almost always order one or more of the following: Steak Tartar (as a starter), followed by Leberknodel Soupe (liver dumpling soup), and then either the Bavarian Pork Shank, or the Sauerbraten, or the Wiener Schnitzel (a breaded & fried veal cutlet that's as big and pounded flat as a large pancake) as my main. Get these with the Spätzle and the sweet stewed Red Cabbage for the best experience. There is truly no reason to order the burger or the salmon.
