I only have it a 1 because it won't let me do a 0 I'll I have to say is that they need to fire the manager named jose and whoever is his manager AT THIS STORE. He is the worst and doesn't know how to run the establishment. He says wait and he takes his sweet time and ghosted you... Like hello I am a customer and I want to purchase from you.. we walked away. Thank God after reading all of the comments before mine.. I am glad. Ohh he also screamed at his employees, he was one rude person! read more

The food Was so delicious and the guy up front gave amazing service !! Love coming here

Went in to grab a cold lemonade and a pretzel to cool off from the heat on 9/1/25 @ approximately 12pm. There was one person working there, a male employee, whom did not serve us. Time passed and we left after standing there for about 16 minutes. I know he saw us because he told us he would be right there, but he was not. I would like the owner or manager to be aware of this because so many businesses close down in this mall and it's depressing. This person could have asked us to wait or simply helped us. Most employees do that. Yes he would have had to briefly stop but he was going to make us wait how long? WebThere was no line, mall was isolated and this worker had food spread across all of the tables while flys were buzzing around the food. I understand and give him, he was busy preparing food but I do feel that we should not of had to wait 15 minutes to be served when we were the only one in the store. No wonder why these businesses close :( read more

The staff is so nice, the girls that work there, the manager and the guy who handed out candy at Halloween was awesome! I wish i knew their names but i appreciate how friendly they are and the fact that everything is always fresh and hot. The prices are the same as every location and they have an app for rewards and free pretzels! Don't understand the bad reviews as i go frequently and have only had good experiences. read more

went in there for pizza bites & i walked in & asked how long they been sitting because they were covered & she said about 10 mins & i bought a order & i walked out and grabbed one to eat and they were harder than a rock pepperoni was falling off because of how burnt & cold they were. don't come to this location read more

The girl behind the counter was nice. We ordered the "combo". The pretzel dogs, lemonade frosty with the cherry boba. That's it! Oh and they charged us over a dollar for a cheese dip. The total was over $18. My wife and I literally stood there in shock. Over $18 for pretzel dogs and lemonade icy and a small cheese dip? We thought she was kidding when she told us the total. We literally just came from Vans and bought a pair for $25 lol! Everything was fine. Nothing special. Wasn't anything more than a snack really. I mean I get inflation but damn. Total rip off. So many places at this outlet are already closed. I'll be surprised if this place stays open. Don't waste your money here. You can go to so many other places and pay less and get more. We had excellent Raman at the Irvine Spectrum earlier and that was $15 lol! read more

I get inflation but $6.50 for lemonade or a soda is ridiculous, $5.49 for small and $5.99 plus tax for large. Almost everything here is $7 or more and not worth it for the low quality you get for the food. Our pretzel was not fresh and they would not remake it. Sorry folks. read more

I don't think I've ever been so irritated to the point where I write comments and messages looking for management or at least ANYONE to assist me with my frustration. I work in Lake Elsinore in a construction zone where it's not easy to get food delivered. So, at 3:53pm I placed an online order for 6pm to pick up because I only receive a short lunch. I arrived at the store at 5:57pm to pick up the order, I was told at that time it would be about another 15-20 min wait because they were just starting to prepare the order. So, I asked if I could just cancel the order because I was not going to be able to wait longer than 10 minutes, the cashier called someone to ask how to refund an order because I wanted it cancelled however, she failed to mention they couldn't accommodate my pickup time so that's why I wanted it cancelled. Once she hung up the phone, she said I had to go through post mates? Why would I go through them when I ordered through the store directly? So, I asked for a manager's contact info and I could only get a nervous shoulder shrug and she said I can email customer service. Not only am I out of $26 I've had now wasted over an HOUR trying to get in contact with somebody. Don't even try calling the store, they answer and hang up. I understand things happen but expecting me to just be okay with missing out on money because THE STORE is unorganized and unprofessional doesn't work for me. I Don't even care about the prices BUT since I didn't even get the food $26 is a fricken waste. read more

Place is alright went right when they open. Everyone was busy working but they still said hello. I got an unsalted pretzel with jalapeño cheese sauce and a boba mango drink. The price is pretty much the same as any other pretzel stand at a mall so it's odd to see people complain about it. Pretzel was good and fresh read more

Overpriced to say the least. I've been here twice and both times, the food doesn't taste fresh...it sits under the lamps too long. I know that the salty pretzels are supposed to be "salty" but not to this extreme! to make it unedible. Even the pretzel dogs were very salty and they didn't have salt on the pretzel... read more

Horrible customer service on 6/21/23. Was not greeted upon entry, and our turn came up he asked what we wanted from across the establishment and when I asked my wife what she would like, he shouted "just let me know when you are ready" before we could give our order. Once he got our order ready and was getting things set up at his POS terminal, he deliberately added an item onto my order thinking I wouldn't notice. As he was entering my items in, he was saying everything back to me, and after the last item, he quickly clicks his mouse and I see a charge of $6.49 pop up on the screen. I gave the benefit of the doubt at first thinking I misheard something but sure as shit when the receipt came out, I yoinked it out of his machine and saw a charge for horchata for $6.49. I asked him about it right away and he said "oh I don't know how that got there." The refund was given. But my god. How many times has your business gotten away with theft? Fire that kid or get a new manager who instills better habits. Should be easy to know which employee it was. He was only one working this day. Transaction took place at 12:09pm on 6/21/23. read more

Wetzel's Pretzels - the receipt for the car - Pretzels Near Me - Lake Elsinore, California

I usually don't have any problem going here but my pretzel was cold and my lemonade was the worst I have ever had. It tasted like rotten lemons were used or it had been sitting forever, literally tasted like alcohol. read more

Frozen lemonade is great when you are thirsty. I didn't try the pretzels so couldn't comment on it. But I know I like Auntie Anne's Pretzel better than Wetzels. 3 stars. I prefer frozen lemonade from Hot Dog on a Stick. Wetzels Pretzels's frozen lemonade is kinda yummylicious!! read more

Went here to get two bags of wetzel bit's one cinnamon, one salt, but they only had one bag left of bit's. I asked the employees working since I couldn't wait 15 minutes for the "fresh" bits that were being prepared, if they could split their remaining bag and do one half salt the other cinnamon. I have had this done for me before in many other locations, These employee's, JOSE, & SUZIE (Working on 1/10/17 at 5:20 P.M.) refused. I tried explaining that both kids wanted bit's and we didn't have the time to wait, I even offered to pay extra. They still refused. I ended up having to buy one normal pretzel and the last bits, which was unfair to the kids. I understand not wanting to help the customer, if I was trying to split the bag to be cheaper, but I clearly would have gotten two bags if I had the ability. I just didn't have the time. You would think that considering the situation; the fact that I was willing to pay extra (need be), that they could have easily bent their rules to make the kids & paying customer happy! I think that the pretzel tasted old, like it had sat out forever. Overall, your customer service is lacking and you clearly need to teach some people skills along with problem solving skills to your employees. This should have been a no brainer. read more

I think this is the only place in the Outlets you can get a quick snack. If you can't stand it anymore, an overpriced pretzel will do. At least they make it fresh (I think). They told us our order will take 10 min. Tip: Use AAA for a 10% discount. read more

I've had major issues w/their app for two years . Last year, I went to redeem my free birthday pretzel and the app wouldn't work. Store wouldn't do anything to help since they said their app is run by a subsidiary company. This year on my birthday, I went to the store again. Same thing. The QR code is there. Store said it wouldn't scan. Store would not honor it. I asked for a phone number to call and their response was that I had to email. It has now been 22 hours and the issue is still not resolved. This seems majorly fishy to me. read more

ZERO STARS for this business. My daughters are always looking forward to a pretzel treat but this location always disappoints. We go to these outlets at least once a month and each time we approach the window the door is already locked well before their published business hours. Today the rude young lady was rolling her eyes at my children who were standing at the window. She began to make hand movements telling them to go away. UNProfessional rude people at this location. They closed early and they missed out on a 4 pretzel purchase with cheese, you do the math, that's almost $50. read more

Alright so I bought a cheese pretzel from here and snuck it into a movie theater and I well tell you right now. That was a goodass pretzel

Nothing was available for 15 min. There was 3 workers one at the register one making and the other just walking around. The girl making the pretzels was rude when we asked her simple questions. read more

Sad to say but I ordered the large lemonade and it was sour as in old. Almost had a fermented taste like it was old enough to produce alcohol from the sugar in the drink. I ordered A simple cinnamon pretzel and a pretzel with jalapeños cheese and pepperoni. The sinful cinnamon pretzel was OK at best but the other pretzel had almost no cheese on it so very disappointed at the price that I paid for it. As for the lemonade I asked if it could be swapped out for soda which of course they did but I paid for the price of a large lemonade so not very fair. read more

Absolutely rude, never coming back. We came in well after open , the one Asian man working today didn't greet us, the electronic menu boards weren't up, when we tried to order he snapped at us for not already knowing the menu and prices, and overall seemed bothered by us coming in to buy a damn pretzel. read more

I've always liked Wetzel's in general but my favorite has always been the Wetzel dog. I went into this location on Tuesday, June 4th in the afternoon. There was a choice of two dogs, I picked the jalapeño one. I paid over $5 for a pretzel dog that was half the size that it used to be. I didn't even enjoy it, one because it wasn't fresh and two because I felt jilted. Won't be craving Wetzel's anytime soon. Overpriced and not worth it!!!! read more

Went in to the store, tried to use my rewards for a free pretzel and nobody including the manager did not know how to honor the coupon. We stayed in the store for at least 30 minutes. The pretzels were over cooked. The store was dirty. Chris, the manager was rude and told me to contact Corporate and tell them that they need to train their employees. I am really disappointed of the customer service that me and my family received. We will never shop there again and will tell my frends the same. read more

Shame on the management of this store!! 110 degree heat day that they wouldn't fill a water bottle with ice instead charged $0.50 for a small water!!! Shame Shame Shame! I'm pretty sure legally there supposed to give out ice especially on a ridiculously hot day like this. Shame on the owner. Don't give him your business! read more

If I could I would give no stars. Nothing available for 10 or 15 minutes. 3 workers only one taking orders and had 5 people behind me. Don't waste your time at this place. I wont be going anytime soon and I will be sure to tell everyone about my poor service. read more

I love Wetzel's Pretzels......... but not this one. I understand Covid-19 is a bummer on business because you don't get foot traffic. So all I say is if your not going to sell what's on the menu then take it off the menu. Post a sign, "We only offer the following", the list it so people waiting outside for 10 minutes have the choice to walk away like down to Dairy Queen which is killing these guys. I've been here twice a week in the past month and always ask, "Do you have any Jalapeño or regular Wetzel's dogs coming out". They said those will be out in about 20 minutes. So I didn't buy anything and I waited. Guess what ....... no Jalapeño or regular dogs. So I won't feel bad if this place closes down. They suck at customer service. read more

Employee was friendly.. fresh lemonade was good... but my pretzel was too hard, probably sitting in warmer too long because he tossed like 3 before he gave me one he even checked to see if any fresh ones available but werent done yet so I got a hard one... if he would of told me i would of passed on pretzel read more

We love Wetzel's Pretzels but yesterday was our not so happy day at Wetzel's Pretzels. I always order Cin-a-bitz and it feels like the one I bought was old so I had to trash the one I bought after showing it to the staff, its hard and there's furr or brush kind of on it. I told the girl & she was busy massing bread, so she said to wait for the cashier guy. It took me minutes and minutes of waiting... and so i quickly mentioned to the guy about it but he kept cutting me so didn't really express what I was suppose to tell him.. he stopped me and said wait. Not worth arguing! I have to walk out of the door and I said "nevermind its ok...." As I was sitting with my 2 girls outside, girl came and replaced the cin-a-bitz. I looked and it tastes newly bake but man! brown cinnamon sugar was very little... like "most" of the cin-a-bitz has no sugar at all.. lol It sucks because we drove far just to buy cin-a-bitz and service was too slow & not happy with the staff. read more

My mom and I always get pretzels when we go out shopping. We've been to the lake Elsinor outlet twice now and stopped on 2 different occasions to find no original salted pretzels ready, employees were rude and didn't care about making customers happy. Horrible service and attitude. Will not be returning. read more

Very horrible I went in with my family got mini pretzels they were not warm and they were soggy then we took a bite and as I was chewing I felt something weird and it was I think plastic like stuck in my mouth I pulled it out brought the plastic and bag back to the store and showed him and he said it's not hair so don't think that when I never said it was and asked if I wanted another one then the manager asked did I want another one I said no then he said well it looks like you ate a lot only three were missing I asked for a refund and he gave me a hard time . I just feel like wether the whole bag was full or all gone they had something that should not have been in there and could have been sued I advise people not to go here they didn't seem surprised that it was in their ! read more

Love the Pizza sauce and pepperoni Pretzels!! Thanks guys. Nice people and they were friendly here. I will return again!

Ordered a pretzel dog and cinnamon sugar pretzel bits. Both SUCKED. Both were old and tasted horrible. We threw most of our food away, it was so bad. read more

I ordered an almond crunch but when I checked it they just gave me pizza bitz instead. Do NOT go to this store..very bad service

Horrible service, owner wouldn't accept free pretzel reward on phone app. The two employees where idiots, didn't have a lick of customer service. They bluntly said they where going to throw un sold pretzels in garbage but wouldn't honor free app. They had no customers at all. If I could give them a zero rating I would, they won't ever get 2 cents from me or my family. read more

If i could give them none i would . The two young girls working friday at 530 were so unprofessional, cussing at each other. The place was a mess and my pizza bites felt stale and were burnt on the bottom. You could tell they have been sitting there day and were no where near fresh. Ended up throwing them away. Worst wetzels pretzels read more

We decided to stop by while doing some shopping. Definitely not one of the better Wetzel's ones I've been to. The pretzels were just ok, but didn't taste like the other stores I have been to before. Also a lot of flies in the shop. The staff were very friendly and appreciative of our business which is always good to see. The Mango Tango is definitely a good addition as well. read more

This store had me grossed out. It was a hot day, and it was a busy Sunday. They kept their doors opened and flies were literally all over the place. Granted I understand it's a smaller store so they need the doors open to accommodate their customers, but there should still be something they can do about the flies. I can't even imagine what they are landing on back in the kitchen. I couldn't even finish my pretzel bites because I felt so grossed out. There were even bees, yes bees, flying around in there. They were loving on the frozen lemonade machines. Which by the way had their top lids opened. I had to actually tell the worker there, um there are bees crawling into your frozen lemonade. At which point she shrugged and slowly went and closed the lids. The only reason I am giving this place two stars is because the pretzel bites were very fresh and good, and the manager was running around like crazy in the back making sure orders were coming out quickly and customers were happy. read more
