I am not a food truck person--but I will ALWAYS make a stop for Der Pretzel Wagen! How can you beat a soft pretzel with cheese? You just can't. Best part--it's only $5 for a giant delicious pretzel. I have never tried the sandwich (not vegetarian friendly), but who needs a sandwich when you can have the pretzel! Also, as someone who is in the process of learning German, I was also impressed that there was a German speaker in Der Pretzel Wagen. Sehr gut! Makes ordering a pretzel even more fun when you can ask in Deutsch. read more

Der Pretzel Wagen is one of the first food trucks in Indy - they've been around for four years so I'm ashamed to say it has taken me this long to finally make a pretzel purchase. I'm trying to cut back on my meat intake and decided to go with the inverted pretzel (pretzel bun grilled cheese). It's as if this sandwich were made to be consumed with beer. It was the perfect pairing for my evening at Indiana On Tap's Tasting Society. Cherry on top? It was super affordable. Next time, I'm going big with the Chuebakka. Given the ingredients on hand for the Wagen, I'm hoping another veggie-friendly sandwich is in their future (kraut-based sammie? hmm...how I love me some kraut). In their defense, Germans are known for the meats. read more

OK - so maybe this review is a little bit affected by the fact that I had just finished running the Monumental Half and had pretzel on my mind for the last 3 miles or so! Anyway, I went with a plain pretzel and it was perfect! Chewy, warm and fresh with just the right amount of buttery flavor and salt. I scarfed down the whole thing sitting on the statehouse lawn - most excellent recovery food! The sandwiches looked really good! I must try one of those next time when I haven't just chugged a chocolate milk! I will be watching for them around town! read more

Der Pretzel Wagen - Das fritz uber combo - Pretzels Near Me - Indianapolis, Indiana

German name, Stars Wars flair, and amazing sandwiches! Am I in Heaven? Gott in Himmel! I cannot say enough great words to describe this amazingness on wheels. I have had the Skywalker, the Greedo, and the Chuebakka. I will have them all soon. You know a place makes excellent sandwiches when you drive 15-20 minutes out of your way to have one. I am excited to try the Das Fritz and Ham Solo next! The pretzel bun is what makes the sandwich. Never hard, but not too chewy either. (no pun intended) Served warm, it accents the meat and other toppings amazingly well. The portion is perfect, they don't skimp on the meat. The staff is fun, friendly, and pleasant. I went two days in a row and they remembered me, bonus points! If they ever did a German sausage sandwich, they have to call it "The Hothwurst". If they sold beer, I would be in BIG trouble. It would be the only place I would have to go! Stop reading this and find out where they will be next! read more

Der Pretzel Wagen - Amazingness!!!! #derpretzelwagen #food - Pretzels Near Me - Indianapolis, Indiana

Ordered the Greedo combo during GenCon. The sandwich was very good and the included soft pretzel was among the best I have ever had. Prices are quite reasonable too. Among the best bang for your buck of any food truck at GenCon. read more

I stopped at this food truck while in Indianapolis for Gencon. I got a breakfast sandwich on a pretzel bun. It was fantastic. I wish I had been able to go to them everyday at Gencon. read more

So I probably should have reviewed this last time they visited my work, but better late than never? My work brings food trucks around every so often and Der Preztel Wagen has been around a few times now. Each time I try to convince myself to try a new sandwich and each time I order the Das Fritz. It is just...delicious...I mean...how could they screw up this combination: Turkey, Avocado Ranch, Bacon, and Cheddar Cheese. YUM. Their pretzel bread is outstanding! Price is fair for a food truck, which always seem to come with a bit of a premium. The combo is only ok and I skipped it last time. They also offer legit full size pretzels that look great but I haven't tried because I have to pretend to not be overly unhealthy sometimes. Another important aspect is that they are typically pretty fast about getting sandwiches out which is important at a business that has lots of people and only 30 minute lunch breaks! I am sure I'll be eating a Das Fritz again sometime soon. read more

Der Pretzel Wagen - Das Fritz - Pretzels Near Me - Indianapolis, Indiana

One thing you need to know about me: I love bread & cheese. In this case, pretzels and cheese! Husband and I tried out their offerings on a recent visit to Triton Brewing. I got the Skywalker sandwich and a pretzel. Their sandwich buns are pretzel buns so yeah, I love me some pretzel! First of all, the sandwich was so good! It has turkey, cool ranch Doritos, habanero jack cheese, and jalapeno aioli. I always go for the spicy stuff! It definitely brought the heat so I was very happy! The Doritos added a nice crunch which I am always happy for on my sandwiches. The pretzel itself had a great outer crust but was soft and fluffy on the inside. The cheese on the side was good, but it was refrigerated so I would say warming the cheese up would make it even better. Husband had the Das Fritz which had Smoked Turkey, Avocado Ranch, Bacon, and Cheddar Cheese. He was a fan! I really liked looking at the stickers on the trailer; I like to see if I've been to any of those places! I'll definitely look for them next time! read more

These guys make delicious sandwiches and have a very fun vibe. We got a combo that included the large pretzel w cheese, chips, soft drink and a pretzel bun sandwich that you collect at the right side door. On the left side they offer an assortment of fancy mustards. This is a yummy food truck by any reckoning, and quite popular! read more

Fresh and delicious. I'm smitten. I had the Greedo sandwich - and it was just so tasty. I know I was the envy of the office during lunch. Their location - because it's a food truck - always changes. But it's posted on their website in advance, along with a menu and the ability to order online. Derpretzelwagen.com read more

Love this food truck! Their sandwiches are the best. They are often out on Georgia Street for food truck Fridays but if not you can find their schedule on their twitter. The staff is nice and the wait isn't long for your order. I think you can now even do mobile orders. Check them out if you see them! read more

"Hey, Der Pretzel Wagen's outside," someone yelled down the hallway around lunchtime one day in the office. Away I went, trotting down the stairs and out the doors to the bright mustard-colored trailer churning out pretzel's. I ordered a turkey sandwich and made it a combo, which included a drink, chips AND a soft pretzel for just $10. This was seriously a lot of food. The sandwich was filling by itself, and the pretzel was great too. Honestly, either of these could have filled me up individually, but together I was absolutely stuffed. The chips were not needed whatsoever, and next time I'll avoid taking them. read more

Der Pretzel Wagen popped up near my office in a cluster with Scratchtruck, NY Slice, and Taste the Caribbean last week. This set me to pondering. Do I run over and grab my beloved Scratch Burger? Or do I try something new? New won out because, well, it was Friday and chances are there would be red meat on the menu for dinner if Husband had anything to say about it. I opted for the Das Fritz. It was a perfect lunch morsel. The pretzel was appropriately soft in the middle and chewy-ish on the outside. The inside of the sandwich had the most amazing avocado ranch sauce that had my tastebuds screaming for more. At the last bite, I was both happy and wishing for more. My stomach, on the other hand, firmly insisted thanks, but no thanks. I was completely full and very happy with my choice. Tschüs for now, Der Pretzel Wagen. But I'll be back for more before you know it! read more

Pretzels? Star Wars references? Yes, please! As someone who has worked behind the scenes for this little yellow box (AKA the millennial falcon), the food is absolutely worth the wait and price. Bryan (the head honcho and owner) is super passionate about providing a consistently fresh, tasty sandwich made-to-order. The guy is freaking hilarious, too. I recommend the Chewbacca or Skywalker. read more

The pretzels was delicious ! We ordered one and came back for second ! Our family also ordered "greedo " sandwich (turkey and ham ) and ham solo ( ham sandwich ) - VERY good sandwich ! We will definitely order food from them again ! Thumbs up read more

This is my first food truck experience in Indy and it was delicious. The owner is really friendly, the menu is small but great! The Chuebacka was unique and tasty. The bun was perfect, the horseradish was not only good but also sinus clearing, and the meat was perfect! The pretzels are also great, really nothing on the truck that will disappoint. If you can track this truck down I definitely recommend you give it a try! read more

If you want a pretzel in Indianapolis, go to Taste of Philly on 42nd street, right off college. You can get 3, immaculately prepared pretzels for 2.75 and a humungo cup of cheese for another ~2 dollars or so. That's enough for two people. They're authentic and great. This place is a complete ripoff. Getting food out of a truck should not double or triple the cost of a pretzel. Hit up Taste of Philly, support *good* local businesses. read more

I have to say that my experiences with Der Pretzel Wagen continue to improve. I am glad I gave this place a few more chances after my initial "meh" experience. I first tried a pretzel here when they were parked at the Velodrome. The pretzel was pretty standard and came with the neon cheese. I did not like paying $1 for this cheese, because I've seen what a gallon of that stuff costs and Costco/Sam's Club and feel like it's quite the rip off. However, the pretzels keep getting better. They are the perfect texture, with a great combo of butter and salt. They keep getting better! I'd just recommend a change in the cheese. A place that prides itself in great pretzels needs to have great dips as well. Let's talk about their sandwiches. YUM! So many varieties, served warm on a (duh) pretzel bun. Remember when you were a kid and put chips on your sandwiches to make them crunchy? Yeah, so does DPW. Gimme a hot sammy topped with Doritos and I'm in heaven. read more

Pretzels make me happy. Warm, *really* good pretzels that is. Der Pretzel Wagen was the bright spot in an otherwise crappy day. My computer froze at work because of a virus. Then the elevator down the hall started smoking when the engine caught fire and we had to evacuate the building. I'd had enough, feeling a lot like Alexander and contemplating moving to Australia (it was a "terrible, horrible, no good, very bad day"), I went out into the cold to find a snack at IUPUI's campus center. But on my way I saw a new addition to the daily line of trucks that park in front of the lecture hall. So I decided getting a cinnamon and sugar pretzel was just what I needed. I watched it get slathered with butter and then dipped into the cinnamon sugar mix. I was presented with a pretzel as big as the paper plate it came on. The inside was soft, warm, and fresh. It was delicious. The cinnamon sugar mixture was a perfect balance, sweet, but not too sugary. Lots of wonderful cinnamon. This pretzel made my day so much better, I kind of wish I'd gotten two. Pretzels are $4 and $1 more if you want cheese. I'm looking forward to trying the salted pretzel next time. read more

What could be wrong with a food truck pretzel wagon? Not a thing, as long as it comes from Der Pretzel Wagon! From just a pretzel with cheese sauce to their sandwiches on fresh baked pretzel bread, I think this might just be pretzel heaven.... The Big Helga - well, it really was big. And it really was yummy. Pastrami, a great gourmet mustard, coleslaw and cheese all on a big, pretzel roll. It was delish! Have to say, the owner/operator is just as good as his pretzel wagon. I complimented his rack! Try it and you'll see what I mean! read more

First off, any vendor that has Star Wars themed sandwiches automatically gets an additional star in my book! But this will not be a review about one of those sandwiches, no this will be a review of their main item, the item that they are named after and that my dear Yelpers is the pretzel. This pretzel is served warm with just the right amount of salt. It is large and for the price, the appropriate size. Can be served with cheese, although I haven't sampled. Easily shareable, although I don't recommend that! A fine pretzel it was and will be in the future. read more

So good, I wish I could eat the Ham Solo everyday. The vendors were very sweet and easy to talk to, people friendly and kid friendly. The pretzels are so amazing though. Definitely recommend to anyone looking for a warm pretzel, sandwich, or good meal. read more

Meh. I just bought two soft pretzels off their food truck. They were greasy and overcooked. The flavor was virtually nothing. Disappointing.

Nicest guys in the food truck! Pretty sure this is the best food truck to come to MOBI. I got the UBER combo and the pretzel was sooo soft and the perfect amount of salt -- doesn't even need cheese. It would probably just take away from how delicious the pretzel is! LOVED the cool ranch Doritos on my sandwich, perfect addition. And also the sweet kid delivering the sandwiches! Have a pretzel day! read more

Der Pretzel Wagen - Pretzels Near Me - Indianapolis, Indiana

This good truck cropped up outside my office window and I just had to try it. We get a variety of run of the mill (read boring) food trucks at our corporate headquarters but I rarely stop by. This one was just unique enough. I ordered a simple soft pretzel. I know, not very imaginative given they offer a variety if delicious sounding sandwiches on fresh pretzel rolls. Some of my coworkers did order sandwiches and gave great reports. My pretzel for the matter came out hot, doughey and amazing. It was light but not too light, crusty but not too crusty. My only complaint is that given the quality if the pretzel, their dipping options are an insult to the product. Come up with something of better quality that better accentuates your product. Price was reasonable for a food truck. Nothing on offer over $12. If they stop by i be back! read more

As far as the pretzel goes - I'm neither here nor there. But, Der Pretzel Wagen is an interesting little wagen, if I say so myself. Huge pretzels that are baked pretty well, but are very buttery/greasy. $1 cheese sauce? I'll pass. Wo ist your brown and spicy mustard offerings? Hmm?? I also sampled the cinnamon-sugar pretzel (with salt). Nope, don't salt your sweets. That's not the way to my heart. I hope you can tighten your drum, Pretzel Wagen, because I think the wagen ist kaputt. Kaputt, kaputt, mein pretzel ist kaputt! read more

Wow, whoever handles their phone calls needs an attitude adjustment! I was so excited when I first found them as MANY German brands within our company. My manager said he called and left them numerous messages and emails with no response and the our event is next week. So, I was calling to see if they could make the event and the man who answered told me it would be "out of the question" for them to be available a week from now-!!! Out of the question? Who are you, my dad? Geez. I don't have much tolerance for negativity so I hung up the phone while he was blathering on about how unavailable they were, like I inconvenienced him by calling. Good with your business if that's how you talk to people. read more

Yummmm.... No line. Friendly staff. Stickers on truck were hysterical. Sandwich was delicious. I hope the pretzel truck comes back to Pro Med soon! read more

Really surprised I have done a review for this one yet as much as I get food from here. The owner and his team are are great and provide a really fun atmosphere besides the good food. Speaking of the food my favorite sandwich is the Skywalker because of the combination of the heat from the pepper jack cheese and jalepeno aioli really mixes well with the cool ranch Doritos. The ham solo as well as the das fritz along with the regular and cinnamon pretzels are all very good as well. read more

Der Pretzel Wagen - Enjoying a pretzel and cheese sauce - Pretzels Near Me - Indianapolis, Indiana

Best food truck in Indy. Their $10 Uber Combo nets you a pretzel bun sandwich, a 20oz drink, bag of chips, and a choice between a plain pretzel (salted) or a cinnamon and sugar pretzel. I can say I've eaten here a half dozen times and I've never been tempted to open the bag of chips as the pretzels are so filling and delicious. They also do pretzel minis (slider size sandwiches) but I would recommend sticking with their full size sandwiches. Just a note - they use Bavarian style pretzels and pretzel bread. If you go expecting a Philly style pretzel you'll be disappointed. read more

Stopped by the truck for lunch since it was close to my office. It was the first time I had ever ordered anything, but knew about the truck. My co-worker and I both ordered the Das Fritz and it was amazing! Turkey, cheese, bacon and an avocado ranch sauce on a pretzel bun. Oh was is great! I savored every bite! read more

Very first time at this food truck & the sandwich was amazing. Upset that I can't find their scheduled stops on line. I'd be willing to buy a sandwich every week. read more

It was a revelation, the Chewbakka. Funyuns on a sandwich, who knew? The bun was slightly crispy, roast beef plentiful, warm cheddar cheese and horseradish sauce that invaded the sinuses. The truck visited my office for an event and I am now a huge fan. I'd follow them anywhere now. read more

Whoa, had the straight up fresh salted pretzel with no dip. Best pretzel I have ever had, by a long shot. Warm and fresh, super light soft inside and buttery crisp outside with perfect amount of salt. So good. read more

Pretzels tasted like biscuits and not very good biscuits at that. Sorta overpriced. Auntie Ann's or Wetsels are slots better at a cheaper price. read more

We tried this food truck for the first time last night at the first Friday food truck festival. I ordered the Yoda Burger and my husband ordered the "wreck of the old '97" we both enjoyed our burgers! My husband said his was "the best burger and egg combo" he's ever had! Mine was a fantastic combination, but I have to say, halfway through the burger it became a little hard to eat. While I love the wasabi/ginger/Thai peanut sauce combo was fantastic, I would have enjoyed something to lighten it up a bit (and add a nice pop of color as well) May I suggest adding cilantro or something to lighten and freshen up the taste? I think it would balance it PERFECTLY. Keep up the good work guys :) read more

Gamers eat... A lot! This food truck was one of many parked out front of the Indianapolis Convention Center during GenCon. The lure of tasty meat on a pretzel bun was worth the long wait. I had a Ham Solo combo and my husband had the Freedom combo. Both were delicious! Our hostess was nice enough to offer us a free pretzel to make up for the extra wait time. read more
