You can get them their fresh and warm. That's when they are at the best, but we were traveling and did not have time to get them warm. There are a couple ways to get them, they have the Regular Soft Pretzel, Pretzel Sticks, Pretzel Twists, Pretzel Rolls, Slider Pretzel Rolls, Cinnamon Sugar Pretzel Twists and Specialty Orders just to name a few. They do have a web site with all the ways they make Pretzels. If you want to get some, I would call them first to make sure they are open. They make these near Dover Pa. on a small building along Route 74. These are good Soft Pretzels and I give them 4 out of 5 stars. Follow me on FB for more reviews. Guld Coast Terry

I can't tell you if the food is worth it or not, but I strongly recommend calling them first to confirm they are open. This place is in the middle of nowhere, so if they are closed you are SOL for food.

Vortex Brewing Company might technically be in New Freedom, PA, but it feels like a true extension…read moreof the Maryland craft beer scene. The beer variety is fantastic. They have something for every palate, and I appreciate that they rotate styles so often. My personal favorites are the Polar Vortex IPA (hoppy, bitter, and seriously bold) and the Coal Car Snickerdoodle Coffee Stout--which is a phenomenal, dark dessert beer that's perfect for the colder months. The taproom is huge and welcoming, with plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. It's truly family and dog-friendly, which makes it an easy choice for a Saturday afternoon. Pro tip: If you're coming from northern MD, hop on the NCR Trail near the brewery. It's a great spot to hit after a bike ride or a long walk. The team here is friendly, the glassware is always clean, and the atmosphere is relaxed.

So relaxing. During the winter, we were there for trivia several times. That was always fun! Now the food and beverage... Their pizza is awesome. Doesn't matter what kind you get, it's delicious. The beer is also wonderful. There is a wide range to choose from, and my boys have liked them all. I've always had good service, and the place is always clean. In addition, it's located right off the Rail Trail in New Freedom. Great place to stop after a walk or a bike ride!

I came here with my two young children for a meetup after hearing from several other families that…read morethere was a playground and sand pit. The building itself is beautiful, and the indoor space is well designed with a nice atmosphere. Unfortunately, we were disappointed to learn that the playground and sand pit had been removed because, as we were told, parents were not adequately supervising their children. That was a major reason we chose this location, so it was disappointing. Another concern was the outdoor patio area, which is immediately adjacent to a steep drop-off. With young children running around, it made it difficult to relax, and we noticed that many parents weren't closely supervising their kids. Thankfully, I had brought some toys to help keep my children occupied, but the outdoor space didn't feel particularly family-friendly. If you're looking for a place to meet friends, enjoy a drink, and relax with other adults, this would be a great choice. However, if you're specifically looking for a kid-friendly destination, it no longer met our expectations.

We loved every beer we tried, and we tried a lot. The standouts were the orange crush seltzer, mango wheat ale, and the half cab! The service was quick and the servers were super friendly. The location was the star of the show though. Beautiful scenery and outdoor space equipped with yard games. Highly recommended!

The bartender let me try a couple of samples and then I settled on a beer that I found nice and tasty. I sat down at a table with my friend to drink our beverages. Other people were getting food but we were just interested in having a drink. The staff was very friendly but there were several families with little children, and the kids were running around barefoot screeching at the top of their lungs while the parents were eating and drinking. If it hadn't been for that, we probably would have stayed longer. Overall it's a nice place to grab a beverage and have a bite to eat.

My husband agreed so I know it wasn't my taste buds. I mentioned it to a server and she just said she would check with the kitchen but offered nothing else, Maybe a fresh batch of fries without bacon would have been nice The brisket egg rolls were good but really could use more of the dipping sauce. It's nice that there is something in that old building. Their parking lot spaces are super tight also, just aware. They could use more parking, not sure where though.

My only complaint was the 30 minute wait in line (it was 93° that day) but after sinking my teeth into that tasty, plump weenier all was forgiven!

And these weenies measure about 6" apiece so that's saying a lot! I mean, that's 18" of sausage! Dayuuum!!! Grandma ain't playin'!

Can't really say what the vibe is here cuz we ate at an odd hour and we were the only ones eating, but there were some people seated at the bar. I would come back for the beer.
