"Went for the first time on a Wednesday evening for trivia. I first ordered a hot chocolate which was pretty bad. Doing something as simple as making the drink with milk instead of water would elevate it tenfold. For my meal I ordered the steak and cheese and the caprese sandwiches priced at $15 and $13, respectively. Both sandwiches were mediocre. The steak was chewy and I couldn't taste the onions, mushrooms, or cheese because the garlic aioli overpowered everything. The caprese ingredients just didn't work as a pretzel sandwich. The simple freshness that makes caprese enjoyable was lost especially because the mozzarella felt low quality. In addition, both sandwiches were small and the default bag of chips they come with felt lazy (the alternatives being a $4 bowl of soup or a $6 side salad!). Overall, I felt like the food was not worth the price and the execution can be improved. I had a great time at trivia night with my friends and maybe that's the point of coming here; not the sandwiches."

"Ordered the meatball sandwich for delivery, as well as the cinnamon sugar pretzel. The meatball sandwich was heavenly- salty with the cheese, but sweet when dipped in the marinara sauce. The meatballs were juicy and delicious. Portion looked a bit small at first, but actually ended up being perfect. Would definitely buy again."

"One of the best experiences! They have the most delicious house made beer cheese. Keep it simple and get the salted pretzel with the beer cheese. You'll love it. Also ask for Harry!!! He's amazing. He is extremely attentive, helpful, and knowledgeable. Highly recommend him for anything you need. He's also great with customer service. You can enjoy everything pretzel related or sip down some DOWNEAST cider, cider donut. You'll be very happy you came. I'm from Massachusetts and this place just screams New England. The New England Clam Chowder is AMAZING!! Thank you for everything."

"Really great beer selection. They have a couple house beers on tap as well as a very large selection of local beers as well as other craft beers from around the country. They offer flights. Food wise they offer a ton of different ways to have pretzels both in flavors and use. Who doesn't love fresh made pretzels and beer."

"Sandwiches were good, but What really shined were the "appetizer" pretzels. The jalepeno cheddar stuffed pretzel was insanely good; like something I've never had before. I could've eaten 4 by myself. They also have a bunch of different sauce options for dipping. Overall a very casual spot. Root beer on draft. @amp_eats (instagram and Facebook)"
