There is a parking lot beside the shops.. I got to meet the owner's sons that were taking care of customers today and making pretzels. It was so nice to be greeted in such a friendly way, you don't get that anymore these days. Their pretzels are absolutely amazing, they made mine fresh and hot. They suggested cream cheese dip with the almond crunch pretzel and it was outstanding.! The customer service and product was so unexpectedly awesome, that I will definitely be a regular customer!!!! Thanks so much to the Patroit Pretzel Brothers for adding a little sunshine to my day!

It did take a little longer than I expected to get my pretzel, but I was glad because that means they made it fresh right there. (Pro tip- it's always better quality to order whole pretzels at places like this instead of the bites.) It was sooo soft with still a nice crisp outer rim (and maybe somewhat "undercooked" but in a good way especially in the middle to the pretzel. Yum!) Icing and cinnamon sugar were delicious and well coated the pretzel. Only complaint is that the workers seemed very disjointed, always having to go back and ask each other what the order was. (I don't know if they really need 3 people working on one pretzel order.) Not too big of an issue, so I will be back for sure!

The tuna was fresh, flavorful, and overall the dish tasted great. My only critique is that there was hardly any quinoa. When I hear "quinoa bowl," I picture something more like a rice bowl where quinoa is the main base -- but this felt more like a salad with a small scoop of quinoa. Still good, just a little misleading name-wise. Drinks were solid, staff was nice and friendly, and service was smooth. Total came to $57.94, which felt a little pricey for what we ordered, but not outrageous for the area and waterfront location. Also worth noting: they are not pet-friendly inside, so keep that in mind if you're out with your pup. Overall -- great food and good drinks, just slightly pricey and the bowl name set different expectations.

Let me up the worst pretzel-buying experience in Auntie Anne's in Tanger Outlets at Mebane, NC…read more When I entered, the floors were filthy with litter of discarded napkins and plastic. There were about 3-4 employees inside, mostly just standing behind the concession, and not 1 of them could clean the floors?! The area inside is small with no seats inside but there are seats in front, at the center of Tanger's open-but-roofed walkway. I ordered a small Pretzel nuggets ($8) with 1 cheese dip (almost $2). I usually get the Garlic or Sour Cream flavor but this Auntie Anne did't have either available. They only had salt, some kind of sweet flavor, and pepperoni. My order was served fast probably because I was the only customer there, but I realized that the pretzel bites were cold, not fresh at all! On top of that, the dip the cashier gave me was wrong! He gave me Sweet Glaze instead of cheese, so I went back to exchange it. How could this Auntie Anne's be such a mess in so many levels: the lack of 2 of my favorite pretzel flavors, cold food quality, dirty floors, terrible customer service, and the fact that an $8 small cup of pretzel nuggets doesn't even come with a free dip really put a bad image to Tanger Outlets, considering that this is 1 one of the only few snack choices in this outlet. I've been to other Auntie Anne's before -even a few locations in the Philippines- but this particular small, badly-managed franchise is absolutely the worst. | Overall Score: 0.1/5

Meh. I could've swore that their food used to be good. Not anymore, unless I picked the only 4…read moreterrible items on the list. I had macaroons a few weeks ago, and remember them being good. These were the only items in their selection that had a price, $4, so I got two togo. The lemon bars and blueberry bars looked delicious, so I got two each for after dinner. We got 50 little neck clams, and needed some bread. Their sourdough looked good, so I got a loaf. The sourdough that we bought was literally the most dense bread I have ever eaten. Even soaking it in clam broth did not help. Tried an un-soaked piece, and it was like eating tough jerky. The dogs didn't even want it. After dinner I cut one each of the pastries in quarters to share. The lemon had a very slight taste of lemon (very very slight), and although the blueberry appears to be packed with fruit, it only tasted like soggy dough. (See pic). My last shot was the macaroon. I gave one to my daughter to split with me. She barely split it. The filling was like the mixed it with marshmallows. It stretched while the cookie crushed, and also did not taste good at all. I would like to think they got a new pastry chef that is learning, but sorry, at 42 bucks for that amount of food that was all bad, I'm not going to be another guinea pig. Oh, no one wanted the other lemon or blueberry bar, so sadly I threw them out.

Elephant ears tasted good, though I would've preferred more layers and more of a crisp. Lemon poppy danish was the standard danish. I sadly wasn't as impressed by the cream puff and eclair dough. I know they make their pastries fresh every day but on a busy Saturday at 10:30 am, the eclair dough didn't taste fresh and was not as light and airy as I hoped. Cream puff was ok. The dough was also meh. BUT the focaccia was amazing!! It was on-sale day old bread but had great flavor and was soft on the inside and slightly crispy in the outside. All in all, for what's in the area and restaurant's atmosphere, it's still worth the trip.

This was fine for my needs, and indeed I like places with a narrow focus, but it might come as a surprise to some. The space was minimal. I was a bit surprised to see bagels packed in threes; I was expecting to be able to pick them out by flavor one at a time. I was also a bit surprised that the cinnamon rolls their website promised didn't seem to be there, though a few other intriguing baked goods were on sale. Ultimately, I took some mouthwatering rosemary and sundried tomato bagels along with some plain ones for comparison, as well as a chocolate babka cake. The bagels had that bit of sourness that makes them worthwhile, and a nice bit of browning. The babka cake, which I worried would not have enough chocolate, delivered satisfaction on a per-bite basis. What I wanted out of my baked goods is pretty much what i got.
