We had several party trays and they came with several different flavors. My favorite was the cheddar Jalapeno pretzel with the Spicy Pretzel Dip.

They were to us, individually wrapped with individual servings of different dipping sauces. They're also vegan, which our handful of vegan guests really appreciated. I was selfishly hoping to have some leftovers to snack on post-festivities but they were all gone, because our friends were stuffing the extras in their purses on their way out the door. They were a hit! We're not in Texas anymore but I dream of these pretzels and can't wait to have them again one day! Instead of the wedding cake tradition on our anniversary, I told my husband and we just need to order Fat Belly Pretzels...every year. I don't think pretzels would mail well, so I'm just counting down the days until we're close enough to get these again.

I had the best bratwurst I've had in a long time. It was cooked perfectly, and the bread it was served on was a 10/10. It was a soft bun, but almost more like a slice of bread -- different, but absolutely fantastic. Add the sauerkraut and mustard, and the flavors came together perfectly. I paired it with a non-alcoholic beer, which was also great. The location couldn't be better if you're headed to a University of Texas at Austin football game or an event at the Moody Center. It's right across from both, making it a perfect pre-game or pre-concert spot. Outdoor patio was great to sit and relax as well. Definitely coming back -- the food alone is worth it!

I will begin by acknowledging this is an Austin and UT institution. A common place Austin folks…read morehave enjoyed for generations. It's really cool at those times, although the amount of people during game day can be overwhelming. I've been a number of times over the years. The food has always been okay, not great. This last time, I ordered the pastrami sandwich, no aioli. The sandwich came dry. Thankfully I had asked for some mustard for my waffle fries. It was supposed to be on a brioche bun, or maybe I mistook the two pieces of white bread I got as something less than they were. It's supposed to have brie on it, and maybe the heat evaporated it all into the pastrami? The house made pastrami itself was very good. My daughter had the green chile and cheddar sausage and commented that the bun was pretty much a piece of Texas toast. We did have an excellent pretzel and the green goddess salad was capable of being split among three of us. These things make me think I just picked the wrong thing. For all the times I've been to Scholz's, I haven't picked the right thing that makes me excited to go back to eat.

The set up is like a dining hall with long communal tables and a free smaller for seater tables on the boarders as well as outside patio seating. A bit too toasty outside for that.

I got the pizza lunch special which included a side salad, personal pizza and's drink all for $17.95! Talk about a deal! Cesar side salad was simple and's could have used a bit more cheese....and the pizza was good. Only downside was the pepperoni left a lot of grease which made the crust a bit soft. Not sure how to fix that but the crust that wasn't soft was delicious. So having a crisp crust would make it better. They take care of dishes once finished and the restroom was clean. Overall good experience and I'd be back for sure.

The service went quick for the long line due to multiple registers. I had the smash burger and my partner had the pizza. The burger and fries was real good. Skinny fries which are my favorite.

I got s beer type I have had before but not one I can find often which is a historical beer which is a Pre-Prohibition Lager which means it's based on a beer recipe that was used before Prohibition. These lagers are nice and light and this one was too. The specific name for this beer is Hittin' Dingers. The flavor features in this beer is bitterness, sweetness, malty and floral. The blending of all these flavors come together in a nice, seamless layout on the tongue. The beer is nice and smooth in body too.

This food truck is so simple and unassuming, you may actually miss it. As a complement to Live Oak's German style beers, The Black Forest food is a perfect pairing for German beer. The menu focuses on classic German food. Menu favorites include Schnitzel sandwiches, bratwurst, fresh baked pretzels, house made potato salad and homemade mustard and pickled vegetables. In addition, small chips and cookies are sold for $2. We shared the pretzel...OMG, it was mutant large...enough for three people. The pretzel came with queso and stone-ground mustard (preferred the mustard). The pretzel was firm and flavorful on the outside and soft inside...ideal combination. Neil, the owner, was so super nice and shared some history regarding the brewery. He also has had a daily special. The food truck is located at Live Oak Brewing, making for an ideal German beer and food pairing experience.

The building is quite large and inside is cool as the seating is quite spacious and a large number of people can enjoy food and drink at once. Definitely not a tiny, small placed brewery...but it's true... everything is bigger in Texas! When we were at Pinthouse I spotted a Mexican Lager which is a type of lager I love and especially in warm weather... a perfect summer beer for me! The name of the beer was Burro's Breakfast. In the flavor profile of this beer you will find a naturally sweet corn flavor, some maltiness along with a tart and dry finish. The beer is light bodied like most lagers of this type and smooth in body. In addition to having a beer we also decided to get some lunch. So we got a chicken sandwich a piece along with coleslaw and had a very nice lunch. Coming to Pinthouse Brewing proved to be a good stop as we made a pretty extensive tour of the breweries in Austin.
