The dog, while flavorful in terms of the seasoning, was saturated with grease. And there was no pretzel around this dog. Instead, it was like a brittle puff pastry. Once again, there is no sign that anyone in this establishment understands how a pretzel differs from other bread items. In Germany, this would have been a crime. But the most embarrassing part was the side of potato chips. When I saw them in the storage bin they were being kept in for service, I thought they looked gross. In my basket, they looked worse. Overcooked if not burned. My wife at a couple. I ate one and tossed the rest. Absolutely vile. How a food service manager in that establishment would allow those chips to be served to (over)paying guests is beyond me. Again, like in the other BG eateries I visited, no one cares, no effort is made, and no pride is taken. The guests deserve better standards and some effort to demonstrate that BG appreciates their businesses.

However, the product itself is very tasty. The employees are friendly and helpful if not a little rushed. The outdoor seating area is a nice place to enjoy a pretzel and a drink under the shade. All told, it's one of the least expensive places to eat in the Busch Gardens park ecosystem, but it's still expensive.

It is a good place for a group of people. Service was fine, but fine is probably the one word I'd use to describe the experience. The beer selection was fine, they tasted fine, the music was fine, everything was fine, but with so many breweries in the area and other places to grab a drink, I think I was expecting a little more from Alewerks. Anyway, not a bad experience by any means and I can see why locals enjoy it, but for me it's a solid 3-star. It was enjoyable for the stop, but not enough to come back to when I'm back in the area.

First off, it was a quiet day. The bartender, a young guy, was super helpful. Flights of 10? Made my husband happy. I can't lie, there were 2 beers I wanted to taste. I like sours. The more they are reds and green, I usually like them. I can share the lucky charms one was not for me. The Welch's jelly sour was a win with me! Lots of merch to choose from. My husband got a really interesting scientist hat. Another win- they sell juice boxes for kids! All this place needs is some food. True score: 3.75

There were a lot of drink options, but not many snacks, so if you come here, eat before or have a plan to grab food after. I got the Sapphire Robot, which was sweet without being overwhelming. As someone who doesn't like beer that much, this was perfect. The decor was strange, which works for the name, but it put off my friends. If a ton of taxidermy bothers you, maybe skip it.

Pretzels from the warmer aren't very warm, so maybe you can catch them on a fresh day, I'm thinking weekend vs weekday. We saw she threw the pretzels into some butter, and I mean she soaked those little pillows of dough and then tossed them in some cinnamon sugar. *chefs kiss* We asked for a non salted pretzel for our son and she made a fresh one for him and it took about 5 minutes. The only downfall is that she didn't use gloves when getting the new pretzel stretched. Yes I understand it was cooked and then handled with tongs, but my wife was really unimpressed with it given she was touching all sorts of different things. If you're feeling hungry, a large is absolutely massive. We shared some and then our daughter and niece tried to make a dent in the cup too. We'd come back, but get a small as that's the perfect amount if you want to share, and even if you don't, a small is still pretty generous.

We picked up 2 coffees and some German cookies. They were thin wafers, covered in chocolate on one side. We ordered at the kiosk and the baristas Alexa and Annamaria made excellent iced latte and white mocha frappes. We knew we had to come back for food before leaving the park and honestly the chicken, sausages, cabbage, potatoes were excellent. We topped off the day with a light and yummy black Forrest cake. Be sure to ask for the Gulden's mustard though, it's better than the yellow they have for people who don't know better

So here it's all about the sampler platter as you get a collection of some German goodies from bratwurst, knackwurst, chicken, corned beef, sauerkraut, homemade German potatoes & red cabbage making for quite the plate so go hungry because it's a lot that will be the only thing you'll want all day! Each of the components on the plate are actually pretty good and this has remained consistent for the last few years while it's not totally authentic it is good enough for park food and that red cabbage and German potatoes salad are super yummy especially the big chunks of apple I got in the red cabbage the sausages had a good snap to them and tasted just like they should! The cheesecake was mid definitely lacked being a cheesecake but I will say before I got a pice of carrot cake here and that was actually really yummy. The fried pickles were ok nothing special I'd just avoid them next time all together and get the sliced one instead as you can't ever go wrong with pickles! The SeaWorld chain has the highest prices for everything no matter what you get or what your doing and they like to tack on a extra 5% charge at the register that they try to hide so be prepared for that too as it's not really clear I just know this because I've seen them do it for the last few years. The dinning area is bench row seating and you can generally find a place to sit even on busy days as this whole area is huge and definitely a nice way to get out of the Virginia heat! Time your meal to one of the shows and you'll get to hear some entertainment on the stage which just sets the ambience for a bit more of a vibe! So overall had we payed full price for the meal it would have been $127 for two of us so definitely use a pass discount should you come here as that will definitely help out a bit, and like I said this is the best restaurant in the chain and we will definitely be back here again during our next visit to the park as it's always what's good!
