I grew up in Philadelphia and had many a pretzel on various street corners. Per my mom, what makes…read morePhilly soft pretzels special and unique are: 1. That cold clammy feel 2. The right amount of Philly "dirt." Shappy has found a way to perfectly replicate this here in LA. I ordered online and picked up my order at Canter's Deli (shame on you Shappy... I walked out of there with a black and white too!) The initial order of 6 won't last very long, and then I'll be back for more!

The pretzels are great and I appreciate that they were able to accommodate my request for game day…read more Let me preface what I'm about to say. I understand that Shappy's is not Canter's where the pickup was for that day. But I had a bad experience with my pickup. The people working at Canter's were incredibly rude and kept bouncing me from one counter to the other. Please note: these counters are across from each other and it seemed like the employees had some kind of interpersonal conflict. They were rude to each other, to me. I finally went the host to get help and he brushed me off and said I couldn't pick up here. Fortunately, one woman came out from the back, a server, and she got my order for me. Of course, she was immediately reprimanded for helping me. I would definitely go again to Shappy's if the pickup was anywhere else. Update: Shappy's reached out to me about my above issue within 30 minutes of posting and they took the time to talk and make things right. That's customer service right there! I will put up with Canter's to support Shappy! GO BIRDS!

I love their traditional Bratwurst and their salads. Their Caesar is my favorite. They also make great pretzels. All of their food is good and try the chicken soup. It is tasty. The place is just so cute and it is kept spotless. The bathrooms are always clean and stocked. The service is wonderful. The entire staff is great and they can guide you through the menu. They are fast but they don't rush you. It is just a comfortable place to be. Some nights that have live music which is such fun. I think they have a TV but I avoid it, but I know they show sports. Everything on the menu is great. If you love German food and the best selection of German beer, this is the place for you.

The Jager Schnitzel was wonderful. Crispy, juicy chicken, with that deep, rich, creamy, mushroom sauce! The Red Cabbage gives a great sour/vinegar to cut through the richness/fat. The spatzel was good. The potato pancakes were small, but deliciously crunchy, soft, salty. Loved the applesauce, sour cream and lemon, brightens it up. I also tried my daughter's French fries, great double fried! The flan special was good. Very Sweet. *Overall, you want German, come here*

It appeared that most of the tables were reserved for a big party. They have bar codes to scan the beer menu and also "physical"menus. I decided to try one of their beers; IPA "fresh outta the strata-sphere" @ 6.5% Fresh Hop IPA Brewed w/Strata Hops Straight From The Hop Farm & A Touch Of Mosaic Cryo I ended up getting a second round later. 5/5 And for food I ordered their fried pickles and tuna melt combo which came with fries. My fried pickles were delicious and the chipotle dressing was top notch combined. I asked for another chipotle dip since their dip servings are quite small. 5/5 Then the tuna melt, I've had it at their NoHo location, so I was excited to get it again. I felt like this time around, it lacked tuna spread, felt a bit skinny to my likings. The fries were cooked perfect, not overly oily and retained their texture. 4/5 Staff was attentive otherwise, checking in on me while multitasking others orders. Seating is available inside and outside as well. Also, this location has an upstairs area but it was closed when I was there. Compared to the NoHo location, this one is bigger and fits more people. I still enjoyed my time here.

I have been going to this mall for literally 30 years now. I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE, LOVE, LOVE WETZE'S…read morePRETZELS SO MUCH!!!!!!! You can read all my other reviews on different businesses and 8 times out of 10 are 5 star reviews and very few 3 or 4 star reviews. As much as I don't like to give a low score/star to small or large businesses, but I write/give what they DESERVE!! This Wetzel's Pretzels has gone DOWWWNNN for the past 2 years that I am aware of. Let me start by saying how rude the employees are just standing there, staring at your face and not paying attention to what you've got to say. Just standing there and not really working. Chit chatting with one another and are on their cel phones. Is that PROFESSIONAL?? The rudest of all is Maria, I think that is what her name is and I think she is the manager. This past 4 times that I was at the mall, I can't just walk by and not get couple of Pretzels since Wetsel's is my one and only favorite pretzels/snack that actually feels you up until I have an actual meal. The Pretzel itself is NOT FRESH like it used to be couple of years ago. It is NOT as tasty as it used to be. It has been sitting in that hot stove(whatever you calll it) for the whole day. They don't want to make a new batch saying that they have to sell that first. Not to mention that they have like 45 minutes until the mall closes. I am very disappointed in the food and their service. Ambiance is not that good either. Everyone is cooped up in that box behind the window. They should take lessons from the employees at Universal City Walk where they have another chain. There pretzels are super fresh, yummy, and great customer service!! Maria is very rude, no smile, no hello and very condescending with the customers. This is not the first time that she has talked to me and other customers. To top that all, can't even speak English and keeps interrupting me while I am speaking. And she is the manager??? Who hired her?? One of her friends? People at Wetzel's Pretzels step up to the plate and do a GREAT JOB before this location closes down like most businesses do. You don't know what you have until you no longer have it!! I know they have one on the 1st floor too. I am talking about the one on the 2nd floor next to the food court. Hopefully someone will read this review and make some improvement, difference, progress and make things better in every way. I want my old DELICIOUS, FRESH, BUTTERY SMELL PRETZEL BACK!!!!!!!!!!! SOON! I will be back to give it another try. Hopefully this time around things will start tasting better and people will act more like humans.

PARADISIAL PRETZELS…read more Soft, warm, and tasty, Wetzel's original fresh baked pretzels ($3.99 each) are just what I needed after shopping. This particular outlet is located on the 7th floor of the Beverly Center near Bloomie's and the escalator. Grateful to see that it was National Pretzel Day, so I scored a free twisted treat. Surprisingly, there was only one person in front of me when I arrived around 4PM. I guess no one wants to pay $6 to park at the Beverly Center. Since the young girl there was working like an Energizer Bunny, I saw my pretzel come straight out of the oven. Since there's only a counter for ordering - no seating - I took my hot, salt-dusted knot home and devoured it. Yum!

This time, on our way out we stopped and bought my regular pretzel with almonds and caramel dip. First time encountered the cashier who was there. I asked the difference of bits and pretzel itself. Her response was " bits are more expensive than pretzel. " I don't like that response. For me that's wrong way of saying the difference. Sounds like she's profiling the customer. That girl needs to learn the ethics of customer service. That store is probably older than her. She needs to be trained well.

Its a great spot to come and watch your favorite sports game or just come grab a beer with a group of friends. Its a peaceful location and there is plenty of seating. I will certainly be back.

Deal with the Devil is my favorite IPA here. Ordering is easy, just go to the bar, place your order (check the paper menus by the register first), open a tab and they'll give you a number to put on your table. Wait for your food to arrive and enjoy! Don't forget the beers! For food, our go to is always their pizza (check out the cheese pull in my photos) and fougasse. Our kids love the pizza and plain curly fries. Chicken wings and their Caesar salad is good too! We miss the panna cotta they used to have. They were delicious! The cookies are a good substitute for that sweet craving after a meal. Parking can be difficult and stressful at times to find a spot. You'll have to drive around to find one. They have parking in front of the brewery, but it's VERY limited. We Uber with friends and family sometimes to avoid the stress of finding parking. Staff is always kind and always there to make suggestions on the beers they serve. Don't forget to take a photo in their photo booth before you leave! For $7, you'll be able to take 3 photos and the machine will print two copies for you. Awesome souvenir that you and your partner will be able to take one home!

The employee that helped me was Sun-Ah and she was pleasant enough, however the pretzels weren't as hot and fresh as I'm used to (specifically at the Westfield Sherman Oaks location). The total for 2 pretzels plus one caramel dipping sauce came out to $17.09. Pretty pricey. Ate my pretzel outside on the terrace with my drink.
