I love this place, even if, ah, sometimes it's a bit too much for my tummy. The garlic and Parmesan pretzel is the BEST. Always so soft and delicious - mmmm. I could eat this every day (if I truly hated my body and wanted my blood to be filled with salt and butter lol). Staff are usually pretty good. Location is inside Meijer, up front, on the grocery side, of the store.

It's a 2 to 3 star. Sometimes the pretzels are good... Sometimes they've been sitting for awhile and they are hard and gross. A lot of them will tell you the truth but a few have not and it's very disappointing. I've been offered a free pretzel if it's been sitting there for too long. I'd rather them make me a new new yummy one. :)

Have a PRETZEL day is the motto!

Soft pretzel joint inside the South side Meijer. I'm not sure pretzels can be messed up, at least not drastically. Stopped by Bens after grocery shopping. Cashier was nice and offered additional items for purchase like a drink or extra dipping sauce. Went with a Bens original jumbo pretzel. Which was semi cold. Food temperature is my only complaint. All the pretzels are salted unless otherwise requested. Small seating area available for a quick bite. They serve Pepsi product. Garlic Parmesan dip is probably the best dipping sauce but they do offer a wide variety from savory to sweet. Parking is readily available but you have to compete with those going into Meijer.

The soft pretzel kit contents

Ordered a "Stay Home" Soft Pretzel kit. They also have cinnamon roll kits. The kit came with everything. Pre-packaged in the right amounts and clearly marked. Special flour mix, yeast, baking soda, coarse salt, and cinnamon sugar. In a very cute recyclable burlap bag. On the bottom of the box is a coupon for 50% off your next order. Included were really easy to follow instructions. And tips. It was shipped overnight. There's also different locations where you can arrange to pick up. The kit came with two bags. Each bag makes six huge pretzels or eight medium or 10 to 12 small or you can make several dozen pretzel bites. Or mix and match shapes and sizes. I also participate in a free zoom hosted class. And there are videos online. Very patient, knowledgeable thorough Teacher. Easier to make then I thought. I was very impressed with the kit and the quality of the products. Everyone of all ages really enjoyed. Everyone's turned out very well. The house smells so good. Took me a while to figure out how to shape them. Which is obvious in the photos. (but I have to say I love the little chubby ones with the condensed dough). Once I slowed down and paid attention and listened I knew the amount of dough to use and for this left-handed baking challenged person once a I laid the dough down instead of trying to flip it in the air like the pro I got the hang of it. It was so fun. And the pretzels are just delicious. Best pretzels I've ever had. They can be frozen before or after baking. And keep in airtight container a while. Such a great local business with the most delightful owners and staff. I highly recommend you order a pretzel kit today for your family and play it forward and order for another family. (I learned the hard way, don't make a batch of pretzels all by yourself when quarantined solo). Great family or group activity. Any age. And it counts as a homeschooling science lesson and math lesson! Please consider donating pretzels delivered to someone on the front line. This would be an awesome Yelp event! https://www.benspretzels.com/ #PretzelPartners #WorldPretzelDomination #HaveAPretzelDay

To whom it may concern, I am writing to share some…read moreexceptionally well-deserved praise for Shea, who served us during our recent visit. From the second we sat down, it was clear that the restaurant was running at full capacity and extremely busy. Despite the clear rush and high volume of customers, Shea handled every single table with remarkable composure, grace, and effortless efficiency. What stood out most was her genuine kindness and warmth. Often, when a dining room is that packed, you expect service to feel rushed or transactional--and understandably so. However, Shea made us feel completely welcomed and prioritized. She took the time to check in on us, made sure our water glasses were never empty, and brought a wonderful, positive energy to the table that completely elevated our dining experience. Her attentiveness under pressure is a rare quality, and it did not go unnoticed. The food throughout our meal was delightful, and the brownie at the end was absolutely fantastic--rich, warm, and the perfect finish to the evening. But as good as the dessert was, the highlight of our entire visit was undeniably the top-tier service provided by Shea. She turned what could have been a standard meal out during a busy shift into an incredible, memorable experience. It is clear that Shea takes tremendous pride in her work and truly cares about hospitality. Employees with her level of dedication, poise, and genuine warmth are hard to come by, and she is a tremendous asset to your team. Please make sure she gets the recognition she deserves for going above and beyond!

Shoutout to our server Aneli who was attentive all night, quick with refills, and knew the menu well. Great service without being over the top. Good spot to catch a game with friends -- casual, loud in the right way, food's actually good. Ask for Aneli if she's working.

I have been at this venue a few times. My last two were for events! I got to see the other side of…read morewhat Guggman Haus offers. We got there early and were able to have some drinks and food, including the nachos. Man, I was not expecting BBQ sauce and like a mustardy sauce and cheese and it was flavor exploding, loved it. With the event we had catered pork/chicken as well as sides. Everything was great, the peppercorn dressing for the salad was so amazing, I would definitely think of a salad here in the future. The venue inside the space, with the car, is quaint with seating and you get to see everything happening outside the space as well. This last time, we were in the original Guggman Haus brewing building that houses the coffee. This is adorable! We had service the entire time, including a bartender and the beer. They made everything super easy and I would consider this space for a baby shower, bridal shower, etc. We had 25 people and it fit wonderfully. There is also outside space for overflow, so it makes it very reasonable. Now onto the beer! I had the IPA Riverside, very hazy with a great flavor. Then I went off the rocker and ordered some prickly pear drink, I was not expecting how good that was! Refreshing and light, easy to drink (probably too easy) and the flavor was perfect! Try it if you are there, it is a newer option. PROS: Parking easy, street and lot Many open spaces and areas to rent Games are included, so eat, drink and enjoy company They have trivia nights, woohoo CONS: Sometimes the food is not always a hit, nothing to state specifically today, but I recall in the past saying to myself, don't order that again. So, try everything and find what you like. The place is great and the beer/food options are good, so you will find something you like.

But I was focus to go to brewery and it was little hesitant because I wasn't sure where the entrance was. But I was able to find it. The taproom was biggest. I went up to the bar counter. They have good choices. The bartender was so nice. She explained to me well after I told her that it was my first time here. I had flight of beers and they were all so good! I enjoyed it a lot. Schwarbier was my favorite! They do have food but you have to go to different windows. It was easy to do. I had Dip Trio which was really good. I want to stick with something healthy. But it was good. I love the Spinach dip. This is great experience. If I am back in town, I would go this again and also will definitely recommend to my friends and family to go here.

After debating for a while, I ordered the Ahi tuna sandwich. The food did not take long, but while we were waiting, I enjoyed looking at the decor in our dining room. it is a beautiful space. Ahi tuna steak was thick, and it was tasty. Their sauerkraut is home made, and highly recommended! You must try it when you are here. Service was slow, I think the server was a bit overwhelmed with a group. This is a great spot for lunch, not when you are in a rush but when you have time to enjoy the space and food slowly.

I ordered the Schnitzel and my guest ordered the Jagerschnitzel. Both looked good, unfortunately the meat was either tough or overcooked for both orders. The potato pancakes and applesauce sides were good. The highlight of the meal was the large soft pretzels and mustard that was provided instead of bread. Perhaps we caught them on a bad night, and are giving them the benefit of the doubt. The Biergarten had quite the crowd and would be worth a visit during Oktoberfest.

I recommend you stop by, if for nothing else, you'll get a kick out of how a business stays in…read morebusiness when it represents itself to the public in perhaps the worst way ever. I approached the counter to find two employees leaning on the countertop who couldn't be bothered to even acknowledge my existence. When I finally tried to order, I was met with a blunt 'you can't have that, it's not available,' followed by a dismissive 'Is that it?' as the only other words spoken. If you don't want to work a morning shift, don't take a job that serves breakfast at an airport. While the sandwich itself wasn't terrible, the absolute lack of professionalism and basic courtesy ensures I'll never return. A perfect example of a business succeeding in spite of its best efforts to fail at service.

So when I saw Ben's Soft Pretzels, I stopped in for some flavor and ordered an Original Jumbo. Big, wrapped in paper, the scent of warm pretzel had me looking for a seat so I could dig in. Warm, doughy, with just enough salt to add flavor but not overpower the pretzel. Not greasy with oil or butter, it was exactly what I needed to get me ready for my flight outta Indianapolis. If you're at the Indianapolis airport, go get a Ben's Pretzel - you won't be sorry!

The wings were very good... & I'm not a huge fan of buffalo wings. The chipotle dry rub was fantastic paired with the ranch sauce. The tenderloin sandwich may have been one of the best I've ever had. It was perfectly breaded, & so thick. It was also twice the size of my bun ... which is exactly how it's supposed to be. Fries were pretty good & plentiful. My SO ordered the crab cakes sandwiches and it looked good ... it disappeared quickly. I forgot to take pictures of the food before it was eaten. I wish this place was on the way home from work but I'll continue to make the effort to go there again soon because it was so good.
