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!

You can order at the counter or by scanning a QR code from the tables. It was our first time, so we had some questions, which the server patiently answered. He was just delightful- friendly and knowledgeable about the food and the drinks they had on tap. Food was brought to the table as quickly as possible- they cook to order, and we had burgers, a chicken sandwich, and schnitzel platters. The burger people complained a bit about the buns being so big and making it hard to eat, but they were happy with the sandwiches overall. The chips that came with were delicious- not at all greasy, and nicely salted. The schnitzel comes with two sides. One had a salad and fries, the other coleslaw and warm German potato salad. The fries were hot, crispy, and properly seasoned, and the coleslaw and side salad were pretty standard. The potato salad stole the show- warm, baconey, and vinegar forward. Just excellent. The schnitzels were tender and nicely breaded, exactly right. The gravy on the side was peppery, but nothing special. The only disappointment was the bottled horseradish mustard on the table, which had no horseradish or mustard flavor. I wish they had a German mustard or even a spicy deli mustard on the table. Drinks- they have lots of beer, cider, and wine choices on tap, but for non alcoholic and soft drinks only cans or bottles of Boylans. I really appreciated that they have self serve ice water. I wish they had a couple nonalcoholic beers or ciders on tap. Overall, this is a fun restaurant. The pork shanks they were preparing for the evening special looked spectacular, so next time we'll come in the evening!

It was Katie's, and then Katie's moved upstairs, which granted that space available for Boscov's to move in and take reign of the Piedmont Mall once and for all. Until its eventual downfall in 2012. I guess it heard the end of the world was coming and decided to get on out before the going got tuff. Anyway, Dunham's doesn't really do it for me as pretzel joint. I've been to Katie's Pretzels when it moved upstairs into a little space on the corner across from Belk: my favorite location of them all in the Piedmont Mall. Here is where Katie's Pretzels really came into their own. I mean - WHAAT a location!! This ensured I would visit a part of the Piedmont Mall I would never have traversed otherwise. What even IS Belk ?! But all of the wonders of Katie's Pretzels could not have prepared me for what they would enact - and rightfully deserve - next: a name change. Monk's. Monk's Pretzels is a step into nirvana. Babylon. Pure, unadulterated bliss. A name change in conjunction with the name change of the Piedmont Mall to the Danville Mall. This is pure power, folks.

The dog, while flavorful in terms of the seasoning, was saturated with grease. And there was no pretzel around this dog. Instead, it was like a brittle puff pastry. Once again, there is no sign that anyone in this establishment understands how a pretzel differs from other bread items. In Germany, this would have been a crime. But the most embarrassing part was the side of potato chips. When I saw them in the storage bin they were being kept in for service, I thought they looked gross. In my basket, they looked worse. Overcooked if not burned. My wife at a couple. I ate one and tossed the rest. Absolutely vile. How a food service manager in that establishment would allow those chips to be served to (over)paying guests is beyond me. Again, like in the other BG eateries I visited, no one cares, no effort is made, and no pride is taken. The guests deserve better standards and some effort to demonstrate that BG appreciates their businesses.
