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!

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. This is as fine as it gets. Visit this place at once. 5 stars. Favorite item: orangeade. Medium please!

The space itself is nice--plenty of seating inside and out, a private room in the back, clean bathrooms and even a stage where live music was playing during our visit. But the food situation was confusing. They have a full kitchen and menu listed, yet when we arrived, they were only serving food from a BBQ food truck/side business. Not sure if it was a staffing issue, a special event, or just how they do things on certain days, but it definitely wasn't clear for someone just passing through. Beer-wise, they had a decent range of styles, but nothing really stood out flavor-wise. Everything was just... okay. Not bad, but not memorable. Service was similar--there seemed to be only one guy behind the bar running things while the rest were tied to the BBQ setup. He wasn't rude, just not super engaged. All in all, this place was fine, but nothing WOWed me. With a little more clarity on the food, a stronger beer lineup and more upbeat staff, it could be a much better stop for travelers passing through, or even the regulars.

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

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!
