    Soft pretzels hot and fresh out of the oven. Friendly, helpful baker. Bought a pack of 3 with house-made beer cheese and Lusty Monk mustard. Served with two called Guinness zero alcohol beers, while outside, free meals being served to anyone needing some help.

    Sorry that I didn't know about this place till recently - up until now, I hadn't really found a great pretzel in the Asheville area and would have told you the best soft pretzels were at Sam's Club! The owner is from Germany, and brought his recipe and technique with him. These pretzels are the real deal, featuring a mildly crunchy, salty malt-brown exterior and a soft, dense, stretchy-chewy interior that's just waiting for a dip of Lusty Monk mustard or one of their excellent beer-cheeses. The interior is airy, bright and fun, and there's ample outdoor seating. Parking is easy. Knowledgeable, friendly employees will help ensure you have a great time.

    Such a fun place and staff. I was there for a yelp event and had such a fun time. We got to taste different beer cheeses they make in-house with the heavenly pretzels. I'll definitely be back!

    Cute little place!!!

    It's a cute little place on a side street off Rte 70 where you can walk in and order freshly made pretzels: regular & jumbo as well as adorable little knots, and they've added some interesting beer cheeses to the menu to go with. There's a bar serving a nice choice of local beers and ciders on tap and there are plenty of tables inside and out for small or larger groups. Oh, by the way..the pretzels are absolutely delish. Golden brown and crispy outside and soft and pillowy inside!! And when they're hot.....oh man!

    This is the first time I've been in a blunt pretzel, I purchased one at Downtown After Five, which is a street festival in Asheville North Carolina ,pretzel was very tasty, the mustard sauce they had was excellent, spicy that you can eat it, but not so hot I took away from the flavor of pretzel. The service was excellent, and the ambience of the festival didn't even better the pretzels if you're in Neighbor drop it you won't regret it ,and if you ever see them at a festival purchase one you won't regret it

    Perfect pretzels I could eat ten of them. Fun cheese dips, beer selection that's diverse enough to make anyone happy. The staff is super sweet and the space is comfortably open and even has a small outdoor space just outside. I would definitely go out of the way to get some carbs and dairy.

The doughnuts are double the size of most doughnuts and doubly good. The pretzels are huge, butter basted, warm and delicious. It's not inexpensive but the tastes will cure you of any sticker shock. I spent $40+ for 1/2 dozen regular-1/2 dozen chocolate dipped doughnuts and 6 pretzels with dipping sauces and didn't regret a penny of what I spent. Came back on my way out of town and got a pretzel dog and pretzel for breakfast as well as some doughnuts for later. The food trailer in some of the pictures has been replaced by a building on the edge of Troyer's parking lot. You order at the window and most times there's going to be a line. It's a takeout business so you are on your own if you want to eat right away. The folks are friendly and efficient and orders are filled quickly once you get to the window. If you want to get a preview just search Auntie Ruth's on YouTube and enjoy. It's how I learned that there are a bunch of them in East Tennessee. I just know that if I didn't have enough incentive already to visit my niece then Auntie Ruth's finishes the job.

It seems that they glaze all of them and then they top it with which ever one you decide. I got the espresso one but ended up wiping off most of the frosting because it's just too sweet. But it was very good. I also got the pretzel which is also ginormous. Next time I'll ask for it without salt because even wiping off all the salt it was still very salty but it was very very good and soft. If you don't have time and your rush then don't bother coming here because it was probably about a half an hour wait in line.

You can watch the pretzels being hand-rolled behind the glass, and the donuts hanging in the background while the glaze sets. I truly wanted one of everything. They don't offer a huge variety, but I'm perfectly fine with a place that focuses on doing a few things exceptionally well, and "well" doesn't even begin to cover it. It was busy (always a good sign), so everything was incredibly fresh. We ordered a pretzel, vanilla glazed donut, chocolate glazed donut, honey bun latte, and a strawberry lemonade. We grabbed a table after the manager let us know it would be about 10-15 minutes, but it definitely didn't take that long. The pretzel was warm, fluffy, and perfectly buttered with just the right touch of salt. The cheese dipping sauce was cold-it would have been nice if it were warmed slightly. The "honey" mustard came in a prepackaged pod and wasn't actually honey-based, which felt like a missed opportunity, especially given all the delicious local honey and mustard options in the area. The honey bun latte was delicious!!! Flavorful without being overly sweet. The strawberry lemonade was on the sweeter side but still refreshing and I can imagine it being perfect for a hot day. I added a little water since I can't handle too much sugar at once, and it was just right. And the vanilla glazed donut? It was like biting into a warm, fluffy cloud!! Pure comfort in donut form. My only regret is not stopping in sooner so I'd have more days to come back again and again.

It's quite possible if I'd have visited during the day that my review would've been 5 stars. However, we came at night (well... winter night it was like 6pm?). It was dark. First, the parking lot. It looked like a scene from a horror movie where everyone gets killed. There was no actual parking lot, just some grass along the road where people were parked. There was a chainlink fence gate that was barely open, with an overgrown sign, and it looked like you were walking into a haunted factory. We walked in the brewery and it was only light by faint lights and candles. We jokingly started calling it the MURDER BREWERY in a spooky voice. I see the beautiful plants in the pictures in reviews here and we saw none of that. I have less-than-stellar night vision and actually held onto my wife's shoulders for her to lead me around. They also have a lot of tables without chairs. Maybe that's trendy, but really I want to sit and chat while I try your beer. I don't want to have to stand around. It cleared out before we left and we got a seat eventually, but the table/chair ratio was way out of whack. All this time and I haven't spoken about the beer yet. It was pretty good. My BIL loved the Mummy Cat. We all had some pretty decent beers. However, we bolted after not too long due to it just not being a great place to hang out in the dark. Our friends enjoyed the photos we took and the catchphrase ANTIQUITY DAWNS AT MODERNITY'S TWILIGHT likely stolen from a 14 year old emo kid's journal that was on their less than useful website. There are no beer lists on it. Literally just that goofy saying and their hours.
