Pretzels & Pints has been one of my absolute favorite spots since they opened (as California Tap…read moreRoom) back in 2016! It is always a stop when I have friends visiting. They always have an extensive tap list of local beers, as well as seltzers and NA options as well. The pretzels, sandwiches, pizzas are all delicious. On top of that, the staff is top notch and some of the friendliest folks around. Having the outdoor space is great, but when it's really warm out, their AC is fantastic. This is a must stop for any North Park pub crawl or day out on the town.

I came here for Wednesday night bingo. The atmosphere was really fun and it's a very well organized event. I was able to sit outdoors and enjoy the evening out in the fresh air. Indoor seating is fairly limited.

The customer service great. My family and I always stop by because the service is always great.read more

Came here for a little snack to find out that they were still closed. It says you open at 11am. The…read moreguy working said that they were still closed and won't be open til noon. If you show that you're open online at 11am or on the little stickers on your window you might need to change that. I'm assuming the worker came in late and started prepping late. Not good.

This place is located in a residential area among other houses and is a wholesale factory. Luck for…read moreSan Diego you can walk in and buy them wholesale but they are frozen. I wish that they would sell them fresh and hot. Being from the East Coast I know what a good pretzel is suppose to taste like. I tried cooking them in my little toaster oven and the first few times were not good at all. I followed the directions and cooked them at 400 degrees but I think that my oven got too hot and the crust was way too hard and the pretzel itself did not taste like a pretzel more like a bun. So I tried a few variations and finally had to cook them frozen at 350 degrees for 6 minutes on one side and then 4 minutes on the other side after flipping them. This worked great and brought me back to what an East Coast Pretzel was supposed to taste like. I liked the Philly pretzel way better than the NY style in that since it was thicker after cooking it produced a better and chewier texture for me. I was very disappointed in my first few attempts at reheating the pretzels but glad that I didn't give up on them.

Awesome Customer Service. Immediately called back when I left them a message, provided plenty of…read moreuseful information and even offered me a tour of their location. I was totally impressed by their craftsmanship and exceptional customer service experience!! 5 Stars

Wetzel's Pretzels OUTSIDE of the mall?!?!…read more This Wetzel's Pretzels is a joint franchise with the gas station and seemed to recently open. I love Wetzel's and glad this is here in Lemon Grove. Now I don't need to go to the mall to enjoy my pretzels. I got their regular Pretzel Bitz w their Jalapeño Cheese sauce. The guys working were super friendly and greeted my mom a happy Mother's Day. It's cool to see Wetzel's Pretzels make it out of the food court!

I like Wetzel's Pretzels so much I am not above eating them from a gas station! The inside was…read moreclean and well lit. The gentleman working as both the gas attendant and pretzel server was polite to us. Pretzels were just as good as any other location. It seemed a bit empty inside, but this is the first time we've come so I don't know if it gets more traffic other times. I'm excited to have a franchise in town and will be back again.

The design of this place is really cool. It feels like you've walked into a back alley and are in a…read morecompletely different part of town. Everything is so clean but it has a very good rustic and real feel to it. The drinks here are my favorite because to be honest, I'm a sours beer kind of guy and they have a whole building dedicated to it. The amount of variety when it comes to sours is great a prices are fair. Flavors pop but theirs also a good enough selection if you want a more chill sour that won't punch you in the face. The other building (not sure which is considered the main ones) has a large selection of your typical IPAs, lagers, you name it. The flavors are good and they seems to have some deals going on from time to time for cans to take home which I can appreciate. They also have a few board games to keep you entertained and seem to consistently have some options fora food vendor as well as many times having live music. Definitely worth the visit on a day you see them having one of these vendors or live bands you may be interested in. The people here seem to be very friendly with their regulars and greet you as if you're a friend. I think this bodes well with breweries considering you're usually here to have a good time and chill. I wouldn't say it feels like the reason I'd come back at all but no complaints here. Just didn't feel like out of this world service by any means.

My husband and his buddy come here all the time and absolutely adore not only the great beers on…read moretap, but also the ambience. There are rotating food trucks that come through and the outdoor patio is a great place for families with young children as well as a space to gather and listen to live music. They also have a whole cider house with sours and such so it's an awesome way to spend an afternoon in sunny La Mesa. You really can't go wrong with any of their beers, they're ice cold and the pricing is very reasonable and there's a huge variety. The day we visited, we also took advantage of the burgers from the food truck and they were very good!

Ahoy, fellow travelers! Captain 619 here, recounting my first visit to BJ's Restaurant & Brewhouse…read moreon the occasion of Mother's Day. We sailed in with high hopes, eager to celebrate, and were fortunate to secure a table without delay. Yet, the winds of fortune shifted as we awaited our feast, for it took just over an hour for our meals to arrive--a long wait for such a cherished day. When the platters finally graced our table, I found myself hoping for a culinary adventure, but what I discovered was merely okay. The mashed potatoes tasted like the average fare one might find on a weary ship at sea, lacking the flair I yearned for. The Wagyu burger, a treasure I anticipated, turned out to be disappointingly lackluster, failing to deliver the bold flavors that dance upon the tongue. My wife, too, faced a misfortune when her chicken sandwich arrived made incorrectly, a twist of fate that added to our growing discontent. And alas, my water cup bore the marks of neglect, with food residue swirling within and clinging to the sides--an oversight that rubbed me the wrong way, I must confess. To add to my woes, a horrible stomach ache set in after our voyage, leaving me pondering whether it was the water or something else that led to this tempestuous trouble. Yet, in this storm of disappointment, the captain of the establishment, the manager, displayed true grace. With a kind heart, they reduced the cost of our meal by 25%, a gesture that spoke volumes, and offered us a complimentary dessert--a sweet act of class that brightened our spirits. Though the experience left much to be desired in terms of food quality, the management's efforts to smooth the waters were commendable. Here's to hoping that on our next voyage, the winds will blow favorably, and we shall find the culinary treasures we seek! Fair winds and good feasts to all! Captain 619

This is a small cottage home bakery (licensed) that sells a variety of Italian breads, rolls, and…read morecookies based on old family recipes. Their baked goods are fresh, made with natural ingredients, and the flavors are oh, so tasty! I'm in love with their Taralli rolls, which are a cross between a bagel and a pretzel with a delightful anise flavor. Cabrini, the owner, brought over a gift bundle of six, saying they are especially good with red wine or coffee. I never had the chance to have them with coffee, because my husband and I ate all six of them that evening with a glass of wine! We also sampled their Rustic Calabrese Hard Crust Bread - super delicious, with a crusty crust and tender on the inside. If you're looking for fresh, natural baked goods with old world Italian flavor, give them a try. You won't be sorry. Orders can be placed through their website or by telephone.
