Sometimes you want some dough and maybe one wrapped around a little smokey. Yum…read more Greeted by the cashier when we walked in, friendly staff which is pretty consistent for Pretzel Boys. We ordered the Pups - the pretzels with little smokey's. Informed they take about 10 minutes, we were prepared for that and sat in the window while we waited. We got the regular pretzel nuggets and tried the new cinnamon sugar pretzel in addition to the pups. You want to eat the pups right away but give them a bit, they are HOT! I love them and they didn't disappoint. The nuggets were consistent and great pretzel flavor with just the right amount of salt. The cinnamon sugar pretzel was just ok, it was too crusty for me, I wanted it really soft and chewy. It was just one to try because for me its always the pups.

I've lived down the street form Pretzel Boys for years and never went. I had a trivia night and…read moredecided that I would bring a catering order. They made it super simple! I'm a planner, so I called several days ahead of pick up. I had looked at the menu online and ordered the mini pup party tray. For 40 of them it was under $20, which I thought was pretty reasonable. I put my order in, and ordered an order of cheese dip and mustard on the side. I went on Saturday at 5pm and they were ready! I paid and was good to go. Super simple, which we all love. When I got to trivia night, they didn't come on a tray like I assumed they would since it said tray- but really no biggie! We had plates and enjoyed. The pretzels around the cocktail dogs were soft and fresh, perfect amount of salt. The dogs weren't over cooked and just the right temp. I plan on going for lunch soon since I'm so close- they have some pretty good lunch specials!

We stopped at Gus's Pretzels after touring the Budweiser brewery, based on a recommendation from…read moreone of my coworkers. He told us we had to try the bratwurst wrapped inside a pretzel, and it was everything we hoped it would be. We love bratwurst and we love pretzels, so combining the two was pretty much a guaranteed win for us. We also tried the cinnamon and sugar ends, which were delicious as well. This definitely feels like one of those little St. Louis staple places that you should check out if you're visiting the area. It's something I really wish we had back home! If you're new to St. Louis and looking for a quick local spot to try, Gus's is definitely worth a stop.

She continued rolling pretzel dough after that without washing her hands.

We found Philly Pretzel Factory online and saw they looked good so we gave them a shot! The business is pretty much just an ordering counter with a small bar to snack at, but no seating for groups... it's a take out establishment. The place looked clean and well lit, and I was quickly greeted by a friendly woman manning the store. Arianna determined my exact order was custom and offered to prepare the fresh pretzels as I waited, which I appreciated. Arianna revealed she is the owner / entrepreneur and obviously takes great pride in her business. Arianna sold me on a few pretzel dips, and even threw in some extra goodies for my order, which was done about 15 minutes later. The pretzels and dips were a huge hit; all of my family loved them and didn't leave any leftovers! This place is worth the visit if you've got a pretzel craving!

It comes with a side and I chose onion rings. So this was pretty good. It was hot and fresh and the cheese was melty.

There are a few outdoor seats if you want to eat here. Most people were taking it to-go. The liquor store next door gets a lot of action. Reasonable prices. Ask for extra napkins!

As was the case last time, the food itself was delicious... it definitely handled the cheesesteak craving. I did find it off putting to pay a $.60 up-charge to add on mayo and then another $.60 for lettuce at a sandwich place. When I pointed out their menu indicated mayo specifically had no fee, the lady curtly told me that it did. As last time, the sandwich was very good, though a bit overpriced at $12-$13 per pop - especially if they're charging extra for just dressing their subs with lettuce and mayo. 4 stars for food quality. Minus 1 star for silly monetary practices, here. It's also worth pointing out that their original does Not come with green peppers, as their photo here depicts.
