The Pretzel Hut Reviews

Best soft serve ice cream in Lancaster, PA. & Their burgers are really tasty.

Best ice cream a must stop if you are going past

Always a treat to visit the Pretzel Hut. Our office typically plans a run up for lunch before the summer holidays. Nice to be able to gather as a group up on the hill.

I remember coming here when I was a kid, and it was here long before that. Perhaps different owners but the feel is the same.
It can get busy on weekends, but there is overflow parking across the road (be careful as Route 501 is 45 or 55mph here.
The pretzels (not the cheaper ones in the case), but the fresh pretzels taste awesome. A bit of grill flavor on my last one. My kids love the cinnamon sugar ones (daughter said it was one of the best she ever ate!)
The burgers look really yummy, but didn't try one on my last trip.
Little petting zoo around back you can visit while you eat your ice cream cones!

Great food and Bison burgers, expect a crowd in the summer!

Always excellent food and service!! Grandkids love love love being able to see the animals and touch them.

Good food, friendly staff and even animals to visit out back. Fun outing.

Petting zoo was pretty good for after dinner walk around

Great place for ice cream, never had the food. The kids love the petting zoo

A kitschy little hut along the road offering standard hamburger stand food along with some PA dutch homestyle meals. The petting zoo was really neat as you get to be up close with the animals. Try the chili dogs!

This is fast food, but it is top notch fast food. The added bonus is the fun environment. This is a great place to take the family. Have a taste for a burger, fries, and a shake? Look no further! The fried fish sandwich is awesome too.

Place is another hidden gem I never knew about, awesome food that is well priced, and the ice cream and milkshakes are really really good, especially the peanut butter milshake. And the petting zoo and wooded trails are an added touch if you like the outdoors

Inexpensive, good ice cream, and animals the kids can pet.

Love the petting zoo! (Its free) the food is great to.

Family fun. Great food, ice cream, pretzels, and service. My toddler son loves the petting zoo with goats, roosters, chickens, turkey, and other wildlife nearby roaming around.

Food was really good. Petting zoo was a fun addition. Line for ice cream was insane though

Good food at a reasonable price. Sweet potato fries and pulled pork barbeque were excellent. Also got hand dipped ice cream. Quick service even though it really looked busy.

Delicious as always that's why it's constantly busy

A great place to eat very good food you can sit indoors or out they also have a petting zoo out back great for kids they have bathrooms and take credit card no atm

Great food. Perfect for small groups. Little zoo in the back so lovely. Everyone should go here at least 5 times in their lifetime.

Great food and service. Ordered a lot of food didn't have anything wrong with the order.

Awesome little roadside food stand with a great menu selection. Order anything off of the menu because it is all good. There is a little area out back to visit with some farm animals.

Took my granddaughter to the petting zoo and played with the goats. The food is extremely delicious we all enjoyed the experience

Found this spot after hiking the Horseshoe trail and was not disappointed at all!! Super fun and great food!

Cute little place to eat! Good food. Good ice cream!

Always great food and special flavors of ice cream changes at different times.

Best place ever! Free petting zoo and awesome restaurant with great food!

Prices are reasonable and the food is excellent,during the warmer months they have a childrens petting zoo that has a great variety of small animals.the pretzel hut is just a great place to vist that is well worth your time.

One of those perfect places for ice cream, and pretzels, off the beaten path.

First visit was packed! All the tables were filled but service was great. The petting zoo had goats, pigs, bunnies, and birds of different kinds. Kids can run around freely and climb on things outside... Brush the animals and pet them.

Takes you back to early philly style real soft pretzels.

Amazing Ice cream and they have a fun little animal enclosure out back! The kiddos loved the baby goats. The kids beg to come here!

Very nice place, good icecream, parking on gravel on thot side of thw street. Playgound and mini zoo

Came here for the petting zoo and ice cream for the toddlers. We were surprised that the animals (goats, pigs, chickens, etc.) roam freely within the petting zoo. Would've liked to see more animals. The ice cream was pretty good as were the french fries. We liked the kids building blocks inside to play with while waiting for the food.

Good food and good prices with gluten free options. Will definitely be back to try other menu options.

I love their ice cream!!!! And always go feed the animals!!! I like the big pig in the back.... She is a good girl

Food was hot and fresh, staff very friendly. Only thing was my friend did not get what she ordered. I clearly heard her order and she was clear, but otherwise very good

Love this quaint little place. And the food is good. Sat outside to eat but it rained. Didn't get to see the animals

local favorite. Full meal or snacks and ice cream. LARGE selection

Love their food and they have animals there for kids out back

Great food for a great price! Highly recommend! Bathrooms are kinda dirty though!

Good food and ice cream. Kids enjoy petting the animals.

Very popular. Line is long but worth it. People very friendly.

Great little small food/ice cream place. Soft serve ice cream flavors change weekly. Reminds me of the old drive up stands, but with seats.

Awesome place, large portions, awesome petting zoo with great animals including a really friendly Tom turkey.

Always enjoy the food, ice cream and animals. Great place for kids. Outdoor seating is great! Wonderful treat for my family.

We always enjoy going for Bison cheese burgers. The ice-cream lines are always long.

Good place to take out family for Sunday afternoon ice cream. Food is great too.

It is a beloved place locally, the food I had was excellent, not the Fast Food level I expected. The people there were very friendly we had some wonderful conversation. I hope this little restaurant is always successful.

If looking for the perfect mushroom steak sandwich followed by a large cone of Raspberry Rumble ice cream, look no further.

Favorite place to take the kids. After you eat, the the free petting zoo is right out back.

We were there on 6/13/20 and FYI the staff and most customers were not wearing masks and no social distancing.

The food is terrific and the service is great. Angie's the best.

Baked potatoes are huge, you definitely get your money's worth here! Food is VERY tasty! Ice cream is awesome too!!

Love their ice cream at this place! The PB ice cream is the best!

Great ice cream and a great place out back for kids. Other than the obviously mean Turkey that roams the grounds, this place is top notch!!

Very good food. I had the Mushroom cheese steak sandwich w/fries... Had a lot of mushrooms on it. Very good...

We love this place. The food is fun, and the atmosphere is great, whether your stopping by motorcycle for a quick bite, or come with kids for ice cream and the petting zoo.

Food was quite nice, especially the pretzel buns. Petting zoo mostly nice. Knocking off a point for the cooks not having masks on / having them pulled down. Also basically nobody around had a mask on, so if you're elderly or covid succeptible, save this place for another year.

In a different year, I'd give this a 5.

The cheeseburger was great. Done to perfection for my taste. The soft ice cream is always very good especially the black raspberry.

Excellent service,Excellent Food!!
First time here..very impressed.
Will definitely go back.

Good food & ice cream plus we love visiting the free petting zoo out back!

The best food, reasonable prices ! Soft serve ice cream is the best.
