The currywurst is extra yum in my book. The staff are exceptional and the space is charming. Lovely spot to sit outdoors! We love it. All of our friends love it. Every guest we have taken loves it. And - the management will 100% back their staff up when abusive people show up! This is a serious issue in all restaurants and so many of them do not draw that line and take care of their workers when they should. Everyone in every restaurant should be treated with curtesy, customer and worker alike. A restaurant that strikes that balance deserves kudos as so many expect staff to put up with ill treatment rather than ban abusers.

It was served with a bright red maraschino cherry and I truly missed the high-end cocktail cherries that usually come with such an expensive and special cocktail ($16). It should come with Amarena or Luxardo but not what it was served with. Also!! We went on a Friday during lent for the fish fry and it was underwhelming. The fish looked like fish sticks from the freezer. They didnt seem like freshly battered fried fish. My friends was very thin and he was bummed.

They also have breakfast sandwiches and smoothies. The pretzels were warm, soft, and good. I only had a sample of both. It's much better than concession stand pretzels. IDK, for $14, something for 2, not the greatest value. Dipping sauces are extra. I'm unsure if these are the same as most malls. Haven't been to a mall in years.

I've been to this location several times and the pretzels are always good. However, the service never matches the food. I went yesterday and it was the worst service I've had there by far. There was one car in front of me. When I got to the speaker there was no response for quite some time so I said hello. A girl with an extremely rude tone said "one moment." Ok, no problem. 10 minutes went by and she had not come back to check on me or take my order. So I thought maybe she forgot that I was there so I said, "Hello." She then got back on the speaker and in a very rude tone said , "I said one moment." She did not apologize to me when I got to the window or apologize for taking so long. I don't mind waiting for my food. What I do mind is when people are disrespectful. I hope the service improves because I really want this location to stay in business.

Other pretzels are dry and almost stale but these are so soft, chewy buttery deliciousness. I used the online order to make sure I get my rewards and it's so easy, soft much better than having to wait in line. I just order when I'm ready to walk over there and pick it up, so quick! It's never too crazy busy here busy having that option helps a lot. Pretzels are almost $8 for one so a little expensive but they often have deals and promos on their app so take advantage of that too and sign up for the birthday freebie!

Wetzel's Pretzels is one of my favorite places to stop by at the Mall of America. There are two…read morelocations, a store front and a kiosk, both on the first floor, but opposite sides of the mall. I almost always get a frozen lemonade with a regular salted pretzel and it is the perfect combination. The frozen lemonade is perfectly sweet and tart and always completely frozen, which I appreciate as other places sometimes have very liquid-y frozen drinks. I have never had a bad experience with either location, everyone is always so nice and patient. If you're at the Mall of America, I highly recommend you go to Wetzel's and try out their frozen lemonade and pretzels!

Is it really a beer brat if there's no sauerkraut on top?…read moreWell yea but it's not the same. Freezing cold day and in need of a quick bite running around town yesterday. Skip the drive throughs and hit up a solid choice at @newbohemia we kept is local in St. Paul, but they do have another location in Golden Valley. Something about their @surlybrewing Beer Brat just tastes like being a Minnesotan. Great staff who were helpful and engaging to talk menu choices with. Pro tip: ALWAYS ask your server/ bartender/ barista etc. what they love on the menu. If anyone knows what's the omg thing is it's them. I absolutely love when someone is passionate about the food they are selling at any establishment. If you've been in the industry you'll recognize that sparkle when someone tells you about the have to get thing is their face does this. My delish items that if you're here do yourself a favor and get em are: Surely Beer Brat Truffle Fries (it's a little extra, but does not disappoint) Honey Mustard dipping sauce (homemade, legit) Don't snooze on the table sauces. It's a flavor experience. Spicy Saison Honorable mentions were their homemade ranch and jalapeño aioli and the Juicy Lucy brat for a classic cheese brat vibe.

The biscuit is perfect, the fried chicken is exceptional, the sausage gravy is divine, the bacon is cooked well (and I'm kind of picky with bacon). Fabulous combo. I really can't speak highly enough of this place. My wife enjoyed the other breakfast sandwich pictured and noting how crowded this place has always been says a lot. The only critical thing you could say is the location is in a small strip mall with limited indoor seating but the ambience is great if you do find a seat. I will continue to go out of my way for this place and recommend giving it a visit.

We accidentally spilled a cup of water, and when we went to the front desk to ask for a towel to clean up they were not very kind.

During the taste testing phase NB went above and beyond their competition. They used the freshest ingredients, had the best representation during our testing and their cheesecakes blew us (and other bakeries!) away! We immediately hired Katy and set our date with her. On our day, NB even exceeded our expectations. Not only were the cheesecakes themselves displayed beautifully, but Katy and Tom cut each cake and made sure each plate looked decadently drizzled as it left to be served.

Atmosphere is pretty much al your standard pub. Wood panel, tchotchke on the walls, high and low tops with a long bar. Prices are on par with most places. Service was ok. We were the only ones there at 4 on a weekday and it took 30 minutes to get our first drinks. We grabbed a pretzel and Mediterranean plate for the table. The pretzel was solid. Huge, warm, and really soft but definitely not Bavarian style if that's what you're after. More the kind you get at New Bohemia with less crust or chew. The Mediterranean platter was pretty disappointing for $14 but that's on me. What did I expect from a German sausage bar? I'd go back because I'm a fiend for pretzels and want to try their fish fry but I think it dropped a bit in priority
