Since they left the location at 56th & Keystone in the Meijer, getting a pretzel is harder to come…read moreby because my choices are: Southport Meijer, Pacer game, or State Fair. Since the last 2 options are seasonal, driving to Southport is a bit of a stretch for a pretzel considering the increase in gas prices and lack of EV charging stations to charge up while I am in Meijer. Side note on the EV charging stations - they are available at Meijer in Columbus, Ohio and I wish they would hurry up and come to Indiana. The employees are nice whenever I visit and usually have hot pretzels when I go which is what I like with extra butter. So I was excited to see the pretzel-making kit that will allow me to make Ben's Soft Pretzels at home. I also grabbed a pretzel for the long drive north to head home since the normal route is now plagued with detours, road closures, or traffic due to the first two situations. I can't wait to make pretzels at home soon. They do take mobile payments (Google Pay, Samsung Pay, Apple Pay) which is a major plus.

It sounds like a lot going on, but somehow it all worked together perfectly. The flavors were bright and refreshing, and the strawberry pearls were a fun surprise in every sip. I also appreciate that you can customize drinks so much and still keep it lighter with options like Sprite Zero. Everything was blended smoothly and tasted super fresh. If you like playful, customizable drinks that feel like a treat without being overly heavy, Swig is definitely worth trying.

Three employees looked directly at us and not a single one acknowledged us, greeted us, or offered to help. One employee even walked past us twice without saying a word. We stood there for at least five minutes feeling completely ignored like we were invisible. I have never experienced service this rude and unprofessional. It takes two seconds to say "we'll be right with you." Instead, we were met with blank stares and zero customer service. We finally walked out in utter disgust. If this is how customers are treated, I genuinely don't understand how this business stays open.

We got there early and were able to have some drinks and food, including the nachos. Man, I was not expecting BBQ sauce and like a mustardy sauce and cheese and it was flavor exploding, loved it. With the event we had catered pork/chicken as well as sides. Everything was great, the peppercorn dressing for the salad was so amazing, I would definitely think of a salad here in the future. The venue inside the space, with the car, is quaint with seating and you get to see everything happening outside the space as well. This last time, we were in the original Guggman Haus brewing building that houses the coffee. This is adorable! We had service the entire time, including a bartender and the beer. They made everything super easy and I would consider this space for a baby shower, bridal shower, etc. We had 25 people and it fit wonderfully. There is also outside space for overflow, so it makes it very reasonable. Now onto the beer! I had the IPA Riverside, very hazy with a great flavor. Then I went off the rocker and ordered some prickly pear drink, I was not expecting how good that was! Refreshing and light, easy to drink (probably too easy) and the flavor was perfect! Try it if you are there, it is a newer option. PROS: Parking easy, street and lot Many open spaces and areas to rent Games are included, so eat, drink and enjoy company They have trivia nights, woohoo CONS: Sometimes the food is not always a hit, nothing to state specifically today, but I recall in the past saying to myself, don't order that again. So, try everything and find what you like. The place is great and the beer/food options are good, so you will find something you like.

Schwarbier was my favorite! They do have food but you have to go to different windows. It was easy to do. I had Dip Trio which was really good. I want to stick with something healthy. But it was good. I love the Spinach dip. This is great experience. If I am back in town, I would go this again and also will definitely recommend to my friends and family to go here.

I ordered the Schnitzel and my guest ordered the Jagerschnitzel. Both looked good, unfortunately the meat was either tough or overcooked for both orders. The potato pancakes and applesauce sides were good. The highlight of the meal was the large soft pretzels and mustard that was provided instead of bread. Perhaps we caught them on a bad night, and are giving them the benefit of the doubt. The Biergarten had quite the crowd and would be worth a visit during Oktoberfest.

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!

Makes ordering a pretzel even more fun when you can ask in Deutsch.

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.

The reward was right in the app, and all they had to do was see the flyer which was quick and hassle-free. The freebie was for an original pretzel with the option of plain, lightly salted, or regular. Simple, but still a great deal! Their pretzel is very fluffy and buttery. It came out nice and warm. I also grabbed a lemonade, which was refreshing and paired well with the pretzel. They have a wide variety of pretzel options which is always a plus if you're not just sticking to the basics. Even with the promo bringing in a crowd, they moved the line really fast and the customer service was solid. The setup is your typical mall stand, very grab-and-go, nothing fancy, but efficient. This was a smooth experience with a great freebie!

I've had the Pennsylvania ones, the Germany ones, the homemade ones and literally nothing compares to Ben's. Having said that, this place was a bit disorganized.

Then I got one more pretzel bc why not? The pretzels were still better than sex. I immediately regretted not getting 7 pretzels.

I approached the counter to find two employees leaning on the countertop who couldn't be bothered to even acknowledge my existence. When I finally tried to order, I was met with a blunt 'you can't have that, it's not available,' followed by a dismissive 'Is that it?' as the only other words spoken. If you don't want to work a morning shift, don't take a job that serves breakfast at an airport. While the sandwich itself wasn't terrible, the absolute lack of professionalism and basic courtesy ensures I'll never return. A perfect example of a business succeeding in spite of its best efforts to fail at service.
