The veritable cherry on top of their cornucopia of fruits, vegetables, jarred foods, baked goodies, pretzels, popcorn, candies, and frozen foods is their Whoopie Pie Festival, which we attended today. The Festival runs on Feb. 26-28 & March 5-7 between 9am - 4pm. Essentially, you can create Your Own Whoopie Pie for $4 each, 4 or more at $3.50 each, and 12 or more $3 each. Here's how it works - make your customized selections of one of 12 cookies, one of 11 frostings, and one of 7 toppings, and Brecknock will build your pie. I went full Elvis mode and selected banana cookies, peanut butter frosting, and chocolate chip toppings around the circumference. We had a great time at Brecknock -making our Whoopie pies, playing a whoopie pie trivia game, and picking up a few odds and ends for us and friends. PRO TIP Hats off to Brecknock for their generosity and hospitality. They had free samples everywhere- whoopie pie wedges, pretzels, popcorn, and all sorts of goodies. It worked on us, because after sampling some honey mustard pretzels, we couldn't grab a bag fast enough.

They had a good selection of drink, including cocktails, and brew beers some of us had flights and then we had one person at the table who had the pickle flight, which was really interesting and good. The pickles were tasty some really hot. I had the buffalo chicken wrap which was tasty. The buffalo sauce was a little spicy. It had a ranch that was good. I do wish it would've had a little bit more sauce on it and I also opted to have no onions or lettuce, overall it was good. It came with chips and a pickle spear. My husband had the Ted uphill sub which was a roast beef with melted cheese, and he said it was decent. It was good. Nobody really complained at the table that anything was bad. The portion size were different. The only thing that we had a small complaint about was the burgers were only cooked well done that you couldn't choose the cook of the burger, but overall a good place would definitely go there again.

First- Walking in and getting stares was awkward. It appeared that a majority of the patrons…read moresitting at the bar are "usuals" and it's a very "everybody knows your name" type of place. No one greeted us- which is ok but we were a little confused about seating since there was indoor and outdoor. We figured out that we were to find our own table and order at the bar. Which, again, was fine, except there was a sign to view the menu using a QR code- also fine, but we couldn't find the QR code- anywhere. We eventually found paper menus. I ordered the soup of the day which was tomato based with chicken and mozzarella. It was the best part of the meal. I got the pulled pork sliders on pretzel buns. It was so dry. I needed to ask for mustard. That helped some but overall the taste was average at best. The biggest, and oddest, disappointment was the cucumber and watermelon seltzer. There was a very distinct taste that I couldn't put my finger on until I forced myself to take three sips. Finally I pegged the taste as pepto bismol - which is definitely not cucumber or watermelon. It certainly had to have been a bad batch. A very strange and very unsatisfying experience. Maybe it was just a fluke. I like to give places second chances because you never know what the story is and it could have been an off night. But, this place won't make it back on my list. One positive is that they had a few option of non-alcoholic beer.

On a recent Friday night, I decided to have dinner in the snack bar. I ordered my usual favorite of boneless pork ribs, mac and cheese, and fries for my second side. The portions are still humungous along with reasonable prices. One issue with my dinner was that the ribs and mac and cheese was not served at proper temperature. I assume this was due to being 30 minutes until the snack bar closed?

I understand what your job involves, but standing over customers & demanding them to order something so you can leave & get tip doesn't fly. The interior of restaurant was just ok, the bench's for booths in rear of restaurant were missing. Very gloomy atmosphere. The soup yankee bean was the best part of my whole meal. Which for the amount that was ordered should've been on point. Items ordered: Yankee bean soup, steamed carrots & fish n chips Wife got salad, buttered corn & fish n chips We also got potato skins & chicken tenders (appetizer) Wouldn't you guess it they would serve everything all together. I'm so glad that I didn't indulge myself & eat the fish, I am one of the few people allergic to Tilapia. As an ex Chef I know the basics for fish n chips is 95% of the time cod. (Nothing was stated on the menu) I ate the fries which were obviously fried together, already had the lovely feeling of throat swelling up. I let wife take care of things due to myself thinking it was just my stress from work (go outside for fresh air) Wife than calls me back into restaurant with fish in hand(and owner had not known what fish was used for this item on the menu) I was floored! How do you not know your menu from front to back. He later told us it was Tilapia & he still wanted compensation for us getting the fish. The establishment used to be on my ok list, this restaurant is now worse than Pizza Hut. No point in sharing photos it wasn't a pleasant experience. Kudos to the owner for being an out right Dick!

Are you a pretzel fan? If you're in the PA Dutch county area, make sure you check out Uncle…read moreHenry's! This unassuming gem of a pretzel factory has been around since '83 and offers freshly-baked, handmade pretzels that come in a variety of flavors (regular, extra salt, reduced sodium, extra dark versions, whole wheat options, low protein, as well as flavored (garlic and sesame)). They're all certified Kosher, too! When the hubs and I knew we were going to be in the area, we made sure to call ahead to make an appointment to take one of their free tours. Our tour guide was Ms. Vera, and she was super informative and sooo sweet! We got to see the making of the dough, how it was kneaded by the machines, how each pretzels were all made by hand (super impressive!), how they were put in the oven and baked, and then saw how the pretzels were seasoned and packaged in the bag. We also had the chance to try a hot-out-of-the-oven extra dark pretzel - super crunchy, but a little too 'burnt' for me, but it would be super delicious dipped in hot spicy mustard or some type of cheese! The hubs and I bought a bag of extra salted pretzels and the garlic, so can't wait to dig in! Just note that this is a true pretzel factory, very no-nonsense, and even the sign is hard to miss. However, once you find it, you'll have an educational time. The managers and the employees were all super welcoming and super friendly :D +free pretzel factory tour :D +handmade pretzels! :D +plenty of parking in private lot
