Was just at Pretzel Boy's on Manchester Road in Des Peres. Never been there before, but I have had their wonderful pretzels and I wanted to take some to a party. There must've been 6 people in there ordering or picking up orders and I have got to say I have never seen better service! The staff was courteous and fast and treated us like royalty. I walked out thinking "wow...that was great service"! I could not have been more impressed. read more

Unpopular opinion, I prefer Pretzel Boys to St. Louis darling Gus'. They are soft and delicious with good dipping sauce options. I generally get one of their sausage pretzels for lunch but this time I ordered a party pack online. It was ready in just 15 min for 70 pretzels and sauce. They were hot fresh and delicious perfect for our office party! read more

Tried them for the first time today and already planning on returning later. These are the best pretzels I've had. Perfectly browned on the outside and fluffy soft on the inside. The cheese dips are amazing as well, my husband plans to drink it lol. Service was fast, people were super friendly. They are going to be our regular. read more

Hard pretzel and bland. I gave most to the birds! Not worth the money! Not Fresh! Sitting in lighted box to long! My sister's were hard too!

Bleck! The worst pretzels we've EVER had. Who likes this place? Did we just come on a bad day? Because I waited extra long for some dry, cold and extremely chewy pretzels. Not sure what happened today but this was not a good first impression of PB's, especially considering the rave reviews we've heard of this place. read more

First time at this location. Love Pretzel Boy's! Supporting local is my thing. My favorites are the nuggets and pups. For a gathering we got the perfect combo, half Nuggets and half pups! No worries about leftovers, the were all gone. Lots of activity on a Saturday afternoon staff was friendly with plenty of smiles. We placed our order and he indicated it would be fifteen minutes. If we wanted to wait in the car they would it would bring it out. Less than fifteen minutes later, our order was brought to the car, all nice and warm. My favorite St. Louis pretzel place is pretzel Boy's! read more

Hidden gem for pretzel dog lovers--Pretzel Boy's absolutely delivers and might just give Gus's a run for its money. My go-to is the chicken Polish pretzel dog with a side of cinnamon bites, and everything is always hot, fresh, and flavorful. The pretzel wrap has that perfect balance of chewy and soft, and the bites are warm with just the right amount of sweetness. The ambiance is open, bright, and impressively clean, with a clear view of the action--you can actually watch the team roll and twist the dough right in front of you. It adds a cool, behind-the-scenes element that makes the quick stop feel more personal. Service is fast and super friendly--they get you in and out efficiently without ever making you feel rushed. I always top things off with a generous scoop of their mustard, which I pack myself into a to-go container--because trust me, once you try it with their pretzel dogs, you'll want extra. Whether you're craving a quick bite or looking for something satisfying on the go, this place is 100% worth a visit. read more

I called Pretzel Boy on Telegraph on July 4. They said if I could get there before 3:00p.m. I said I might be there a few minutes after. They said that was fine. I ordered 100 pretzel nuggets and cheese. Everyone enjoyed the pretzels. They were a hit. If you have never tried Pretzel Boy you need to. read more

Excellent food and service! Love the spinning wheel on the counter! Great location too. Servers are helpful and polite.

I just want to compliment the staff for something I witnessed a little bit ago while grabbing a pretzel for my mom on Mother's Day. There were 5 young employees (I would be surprised if 4/5 were out of high school) a gentleman came in to pick up a large order that was placed yesterday (I assume last minute) but the order was not ready. No one at the time was standing around they were all working despite the slow day. I watched the employees discover that it wasn't started and figure out quietly how to resolve it together in the back. Then the front counter person returned to the gentleman and calmly explained the situation. She sincerely apologized and I could tell they were all mortified. He did not accept that apology so she continued as he berated her. He asked repeatedly what happened and "how did this happen!?!" And she calmly explained their mistake (owning it as best they could) despite their obvious embarrassment for the being made by someone who wasn't even there today. They handled it PERFECTLY! The order was in the oven before the guy even knew what was happening. He was a total jerk to them all and acted like his whole day was ruined by the 20 minute delay in getting his pretzels for a high school lock in. I really want to say those kids did a GREAT JOB and also shout out to that guy, whoever he was for being such a TOOL and acting like the world exclusively revolved around him. read more

I love pretzel boys and I recommend it highly. The pretzel dough wrapped bratwurst is amazing. The salsiccia is also very good. For that matter everything they sell here is fantastic. I wasn't thrilled when I saw this but I'm convinced that the oven is hot enough to erradicate any possible containments! I highly recommend it! read more

Really enjoyed my first visit to Pretzel Boys. It was a nice spring day, so I got my pretzel brat and went outside to their picnic table area off to the side of the storefront. Inside there is a stand up bar area where you can eat. There are no tables and chairs in the store. The pretzels were soft and warm with the perfect chewy. They have cheese dipping sauce for extra $$$, but well worth the little extra payment. I'll definitely head back to try some other menu items in the future. read more

What happened? Was the recipe changed? Were they just made slightly smaller, but kept at the same heat? I've gotten pretzels here 20+ times and this is the first time the taste and chewy consistency were not good. read more

When you must have a pretzel in West St Louis County... don't hesitate to stop in. The pretzel dogs are all great, depending on your mood. Sometimes pretzel hotdogs are $1 special... which mean a triple home run for me. Sometimes even the sausages are $1, which is a jackpot but I can only eat one. Wish they were open a little later so I could pick some up on my way home ... and introduce the brat dog to my wife and give her a night off, but for now it is my secret indulgence when I am in the neighborhood. read more

Great staff, service, environment. The friendliest people in town. I always go to pretzel boys for any events. They also have such affordable prices. Would 10/10 recommend for any event, gathering, or snack to get with a friend! read more

Few days ago we called this location and ordered a tray of pretzels for the nurses at the hospital we were staying at. My husband picked it up next day. Everyone was polite, wore mask and distance was kept. We did not try the pretzels, but the nurses enjoyed it very much. Thank you and we will be getting more treats for the nurses! read more

Very good service. Pretzel was extremely fresh, soft. A little too much salt for my taste but it's easy to remove. I got the American cheese but it seemed off, not tasty and I just had the pretzel without the cheese. I will try the cheddar cheese next time. If you are in west county looking for a soft hot pretzel that doesn't have too much butter, try Pretzel Boys. read more

i have been here many times and have never been disappointed the food is always good. The brisket special is my favorite and whenI can get it I do. read more

Pass that mall Pretzel shack and come here! All sauce are homemade not from a can (cheddar, white American and Jalapeño). Order the begets combo (16 2" nuggets, cheddar sauce and large fountain drink) $4.79. Pretzel nuggets were hot, soft and with a small snap. Also, tried the Cajun Chicken pretzel...Delish! All sausages come locally from G & W. Great service! read more

The pretzels at Pretzel Boys are very good and they have different kinds of mustards with little to-go containers and you can make as many of them as you like for your pretzels. I do feel like these pretzels are just slightly inferior to Gus' Pretzels though. The skin isn't quite as crispy and pretzely. It's a very nice midday snack though! read more

I read about a new pretzel shop opening up in Des Peres and when I drove by yesterday, I noticed it was open. Who doesn't love soft pretzels? Seriously? They rock! I dropped by today around lunch time and found out they JUST opened this week. Nevertheless, it seemed to be up and running well. It's a small shop in a strip mall on the south side of Manchester Rd east of 270. You walk in and you can see the display case full of yummies! The pretzels are a little bit of a different shape than the standard, yet still recognizable. They have many varieties of "pup", aka pretzel dogs and brats. Some had cheese, etc. I also saw cinnamon sugar pretzels and pretzel bites, along with the original. I think they might be getting more flavors in the future. I ordered the pretzel combo that came with 2 pretzels, cheese for dipping, and a large drink. YUMMM. It was fresh and soft! Here are some quick reasons why I'm giving it 4 stars: - Pretzels didn't have too much salt and weren't greasy like other pretzel places - Dipping cheese (3 flavors, cheddar, american, or jalapeño) was HOMEMADE; none of that nasty faux cheese substitute here! - CHEAP - the combo I mentioned above cost $3.50! They also have party trays which look awesome... we should get them for a Yelp event sometime! YUM! I will definitely be back! read more

Went to the Hampton store today to pickup some mini pups, and was told they weren't taking walk-in orders for mini pups. So got on my phone to call in an order for mini pups and at first I was told I had come come in and order them, and then I was told that they aren't talking orders at all for mini pups. Sad to say you lost a customer since you don't know what you are doing on Super Bowl Sunday read more

Uninspired service delivering overly sweet & soft pretzels is what I walked away thinking. The pretzels were fresh, but sweeter than I liked. My friend ordered a cheese dog & returned the first one because of no cheese. read more

great experience especially, great manager, luv the guy. Send them sum love. Also it's clean and amazing and smells good

I love pretzels and pretzel boys was catered to one of my work parties. It took me a bit of time to get to eating the pretzels, but it was so good even when it was at room temperature. I will definitely be back to get their pretzel nuggets and their cheddar brat and softies! The assortment of mustards was phenomenal as well! read more

Surprisingly good!!! I wasn't sure the combination of a bratwurst and a pretzel would work but it did!!! Get the pretzel bites and icing as a dessert. I Will return for another soon. read more

Great pretzels and great service. They came to our neighborhood and everybody loved them. We would love to have them back along with Pete's pops! read more

Just went back to pretzel Boys again and tried a couple of new things: the bratwurst wrapped in a pretzel was great and also ordered a tray of the nuggets for a fantasy football draft- HUGE hit! One big plus that I like about Pretzel Boys instead of Gus' is that they bake their pretzel FRESH all day long instead of just cooking them in the morning. I also love how cheap they are! You can get one of the combo meals for under $5 and be full all day! Plus its so much healthier than some fried burger from McDonalds or something like that... read more

Their pretzels were stale, not sure if they were over-cooked or just sitting out for too long, but they were definitely too hard. The place is pretty small so you could see into the cooking/prep area where one of the worker's was singing obnoxiously loud to the song playing over the radio. Try acting more professional when customers are in the store. read more

Down a star. Had the cheddar sauce this time and I hated it as much as I hated the American cheese sauce the first time. I make much better cheddar cheese sauce at home and, while I don't hold places up to my own homemade standards, I do expect it to at least be somewhat enjoyable. Let's face it: at no other time do I prefer mustard over cheese. No. Other. Time. Quick rundown: lackluster service mediocre pretzels awful cheese sauce 2 stars Pretzel Boys: hit me up for my cheese sauce recipe. I will sell it to you. It's worth it, I swear. read more

Great Prezels; probably at the top of my list! I just wish that they had a small table or two, to eat there....This is a kind of place you stop by for a snack while out and about (which I was) and I HATE eating in my car... They serve fountain and bottled beverages (*Coke products), which is a plus. There is a self-serve condiment bar with ketchup, mustard, spicy mustard and 4 oz cups/lids, which is nice. I regret not getting a side of cheese, not that the pretzel needed it, but because I love cheese. I orederd one pretzel with salt and a fountain coke which cost me $3.42 (I believe). The cashier thanked me for trying them out, which was a nice touch. read more

These pretzels are making me thirsty! Ok, so I just wanted to quote Seinfeld, but they really did make me thirsty! But in a totally glorious way. The last time I ordered a soft pretzel was at the Duke basketball game with dad a month ago. I entrusted in him the job of bringing me back the perfect little game time treat, and he shows up with some pretzel shaped monstrosity with NO SALT. Um, do you not know me, dad? Your daughter that practically drinks pickle juice from the jar, and salts anything put in front of her? And besides...a pretzel with no salt is no pretzel at all! You might as well toss it in the garbage. So this place made me proud, not over-salting, but definitely not skimping either. I ordered the pretzel bites, which were quite plentiful for around 1.50 or so, and 2 orders of the american cheese dipping sauce (white colored and totally homemade), which were like 1.09 a piece. I tried to order 1 cheddar and 1 american (I like variety), but they were out of the cheddar, and the only other option was jalapeno cheese. Yuck! Not my thing. So I also grabbed some yellow mustard to go, which is on the house. The regular pretzels come out with several connected to each other, and then are torn off, depending on how many you want. I'm not a big fan of this because they look more like pretzels halves, and not the traditional pretzel shape that I have come to love. They come in traditional and cinnamon sugar flavor. They also have "pretzel pups" which are hot dogs and brats, some with cheese and some without, that are wrapped in pretzel buns, kind of like pigs in a blanket. They looked amazing and I would've ordered one of those, if I ate pig. But I don't, so I went with the bites. And I was more than thrilled with them anyway. I have to say that the price is definitely right at this place, minus the soda, which was 2 dollars, a little pricey when your pretzels made me thirsty! But I can't complain too much considering the whole thing cost me 6 dollars. Also, the cheese sauce cups are large, and the american cheese sauce blew my mind. Seriously the best cheese sauce I have ever had. Take note Bridge Tap House! I'm hopeful that they will soon add new flavors (ok just one...hook me up with a gaaahlic pretzel please!) and maybe a pup or two stuffed with something other than pig for us vegetarians (think cheese or veggies!). I'll definitely be back to find out! read more

Blink and you'll miss it but be sure to turn around because Pretzel Boys will not disappoint! Pretzel Boys is a staple at a party we go to yearly that a friend hosts. Their ends are to die for and easy to pop into your mouth. We decided to stop at their location one afternoon and were excited at our options. Its a small but nice location, low key and super friendly staff. I stuck with regular pretzels while my husband got a pretzel brat and they gave him a pretzel while he waited for his brat. He loved it! He said it was just the right taste to satisfy his hunger. I think they will be a part of an upcoming housewarming party we are planning on having. Thank you Pretzel Boys for a great experience! read more

I love pretzels fashioned this way (lovingly called Philly style. My old town). It's cheap, family owned, and nothing like their competitor (which I like, too). The pretzel bites seem dry, but nothing that warrants a 4 star, as there is nothing remotely similar in the area. They do a bang up job! read more

I would love to like these pretzels. My favorite part of a pretzel is the outer "skin". These pretzels don't have a continuous "skin" around them. They are a hybrid of part pretzel, part breadstick. See the above picture from Kate H. I ordered the 2 pretzel, cheese, soda combo. Parking was a not easy. There where huge white paint trucks everywhere, making backing out dangerous. read more

Can't say enough good things about the place. My husband and I can't get enough of this place. We have lived in Kirkwood for 3 years now, but have never tried this place. Well we decided to about 4 weeks ago and we made up for lost time. I think we have eaten there about 2 times a week even bringing a snowman shaped pretzel to out family Christmas party. My family made short work of the pretzel and at the same time got a few more people hooked on the wonderful pretzels. read more

Yum yum yum! I've heard nothing but good things about Pretzel Boys, so I stopped here during my lunch break to see what all of the fuss was about. It's a tiny shop in a strip mall, super close to West County Mall. I walked in and was immediately greeted with a smile. I took a few minutes to study the menu, and I decided to go with the pretzel bites with jalapeno cheese sauce. Good choice, Stephanie! *pats self on back* The pretzel bites were soft and chewy, with a good amount of salt on them. So doughy! Love. The jalapeno cheese sauce was hot with the tiniest kick (I would have preferred it a little spicier). It paired perfectly with the pretzels. And they definitely give you enough cheese to drown each bite in! Be sure to spin the little twister mat at the counter to try to win a free pretzel. I'm not sure what color you have to land on to win a free pretzel. It's not clear, and there's no signage to explain. I simply spun the wheel, and the cashier said "nice try", and that was pretty much it. Womp womp. Loser! At least she was nice about it. I would definitely come back for more pretzel bites! I'm dying to try their cinnamon sugar pretzel as well. Unfortunately, I can't get down with a hotdog filled pretzel. There's just something about that that's not right! read more

I love this place! I can't tell you the number of times I've been here, sometimes simple because I'm in the neighborhood and other times I've gone out of my way for a stop. I recently took a dozen of them to a family barbecue and they were the favorite of many...I had no leftovers to take home with me! I prefer the regular softie and like to eat it warm. I'm pretty sure that's when it's the best...although that might be because I'm too impatient to wait. I've not big on condiments, meat, or drinks--so I guess you'll have to check some of the other reviews if those are your areas of interest. I did custom order a large Panda head for my kickball team...and well it looked awesome and I assume it tasted good because when I took it to the game they ate it all before I got any! If you like them on facebook they're frequently doing things where you can win free stuff, and if you sign up for their emails at their website you can get insider info for when they're having deals! Also pick up a frequent customer card and get it punched every time you come in to earn free pretzels and make sure to spin their wheel of pretzel fortune when you're in to see if you can win a free pretzel on that visit! PS In Regards to Jill S's comment--Pretzel Boys pretzels are Philadelphia style, that's the size and shape they're supposed to be. They're not trying to rip anyone off, just being true to where they originate from. If you happen to be in Philadelphia, you'll see that's what all the pretzels look like. read more

Walking into Pretzel Boys, my initial thought was their name is somewhat of a misnomer. Pretzels are for men. Sports, guns, beer, pretzels. All synonymous with one another. With that being said, I went for a brat wrapped pretzel. The same thing I order at darn near every baseball game. I also coupled that with a cajun chicken pretzel. They both were extraordinary. They have a splendid condiment section with 4 types of mustard: deli, spicy southwest, dijon, & plain. For the sacrilegious, ketchup as well. Anyone that gives Pretzel Boys a bum review is someone I don't want to dine with. You essentially are saying you don't enjoy bread, cheese, or meat. Don't be so picky next time. For a hearty lunch, a hip party snack, or anywhere in between, take it on over to Pretzel Boys, where you'll find real men like me. read more

Love these soft pillows of heavenly goodness. Coming from a lover of Gus's of 42 years, these are the best pretzels I have ever eaten. Can you say addicted. We like stopping in here for a treat. The regular pretzels are soft, warm, chewy and just the right size. We like to get the jalapeno cheese to dip them in. I don't know what it is but they are addictive. I cannot say anything bad. Seriously the price is just right, if not cheap. Every time we drop they are turning over pretzels, staff is so friendly. The smorgasbord of mustard sauces is pretty impressive. Recently discovered they had horseradish and oh my. They are open early. Don't miss out on their punch card and even their giveaways on facebook. Like their page, they have crazy easy giveaways all the time. read more
