The Pretzel Hut Reviews

My favorite place for a Hot Dog! They always taste better at the Pretzel Hut.

Adorable little place. The food was fantastic. My kids loved the family style petting zoo. We will be coming back.

Staff were super friendly, food tasty and good portions. Petting zoo was the highlight for our grandson. Will definitely go back on a nicer day to walk the trail!

Great food, decent prices, will definitely be going back,

I always enjoy a trip to the pretzel hut! Good food and excellent customer service.

Great local good joint. Bison burgers and sweet potato fries!!

Never ate here but they have animals you can pet. Cool chickis. Cool goats. Cool pigs. Yeah.

Great place! Soft pretzels and ice cream were yummy. The animals in the back were so cute and fun to interact with!

Their food is good, especially the ice cream, but don't be fooled by the name; their pretzels aren't even that great. Try Dutchway's.

We love getting ice cream and visiting the animals here. Would love to have a staff person back with the animals more often who would take animals out of cages for the kids to pet.

I was disappointed when I learned they serve Superpretzels and don't make their own since the name of the place is Pretzel Hut. The food was good though. The petting zoo was a nice bonus. Who doesnt like baby goats?

If you ever want some good ice cream and to watch someone die in a horrific car crash this is your place

They're peanut butter and coffee ice creams are the best around!!

Fun classic ice cream and burger joint. Love stopping here with the family. Great little free petting zoo as well!

Don't go there for there chicken it's just awful. There hamburgers and hot dogs and French fries and ice cream are all good. There dinners are bad

Usually, AWESOME, but left them know today that the California Cheeseburger roll and the Club Sandwich bread were both dry. Hopefully, they can resolve this because we do enjoy eating here fairly often.

Cool little diner! Old fashioned diner fare, we really enjoyed the onion rings. There's a petting zoo outside with goats, turkeys, ducks, etc. If you're in the area it's worth stopping in. Just a note, it's a pretty small place and there isn't much seating.

Nestled along the highway against state game lands. Up behind the restaurant is a small zoo for the kids. Great place for everyone. Grandparents bring their grandkids, families with kids, and everyone else. Food is great, prices are very reasonable (my pulled pork sandwich was less than $4.50), portions are large and the staff is friendly and helpful. Tonight's featured soft serve ice cream was raspberry and pineapple. I was too full for ice cream but would like to go back for some. The inside is quaint and there are picnic tables outside.

(Reposting as a local guide based on a top yelp reviewer request with authorization from Yelp)
Racist act took place against a mother and a child started by a hostile patron and which resulted in personal attacks from the employees and some regulars (against the mother and child) who ganged up on the obviously foreigner mother and a child, owners acted as villagers defending their people not as business owners justifying all that had happened making up lies and accusations, shameful.

Here s part of the review and the rest can be read on Yelp:
I witnessed the most ignorant and bit racist thing before my eyes take place there, there was this lady with a child that was petting the animals and enjoying their time like everyone else, the child was handling baby bunnies then a lady comes from behind them started being rude about how tiny the bunnies are and that they shouldn't be touching them, even though many people did before them but I saw this lady giving them dirty looks before that incident for some reason she looked like she doesn't like the way they look or the non-English language they were speaking, the lady kept yapping about that non-stop so the mother took the bunny from the child's hands and put it back in place asking that lady in a very nice way to stop that and they moved to the next thing, now I saw that lady talking with everyone and claiming that she saw the mother and her child abusing the animals and she was going to call the management and of course other women there got worked up over that, saw the child playing with another animals and they approached the mother to stop her child, at that moment the mother was very upset and felt targeted so she said that they did nothing wrong and there was no sign saying not to touch the baby animals and her child like all children there loves to hold the baby animals, of course the lady that stirred all that came back with a couple of women who work at the pretzel hut who to my surprise did not ask questions but came yelling when the mother and child where sitting on a bench holding the baby bunny, what made me believe it's an act of racism and targeting that woman and her child is that when the server in a blue pretzel hit shirt came in the most unprofessional and rude way telling the mother to give her the bunny she started yelling in front of everyone that the mother "shoved the bunny at her" I was very close to the bench where the mother and her child were sitting and saw with my own eyes that the mother held the bunny with her both hands and put it in that angry employee hands, there was no shoving, at that point the mother was so upset and because of all the screaming match that was going on she said she's did no harm to the animals and that she doesn't understand why are those women hanging up on her like that then asked them to go check the cameras before believing that woman (that was still yelling in the back that they should call the cops) the yelling keep going on and on even when she said she was leaving they kept telling her to leave and never come back (just to be extra mean to make it sound like she was kicked out) oh they told her there are no cameras! Yet they made a judgement based on some crazy woman's act just because she was loud enough, and that employee that came and was standing there being rude making it like a high school fight made up a big fat lie that no one dared to say anything about? She was rude and non-smiling when serving customers too but I never thought an employee representing a place of business that's supposed to be professional would act that way, it made me sad because I as a mother was the target a lot for mom-shaming and people who find nothing better to do with their times other than harassing families with children but it was the first time I saw this amount of ganging up on one person, maybe it's a village mentality? Who knows,

A little disappointed, ran out of t berry ice cream. Was really looking forward to. Sundae was good. Really busy.

Great ice cream! Can be a busy place. Little petting zoo outback.

This place is actually pretty neat they have great food good ice cream and even a little petting zoo in the back for the kids on all really great place good service good food thumbs up for me PS I like the root beer floats. LOL !

The best ice cream place ever! And you can see adorable animals while you wait for your food!

Great food at a great price! The ice cream is always a delicious treat after hiking at middle creek. The petting zoo in the back is fun for kids of all ages.

Fantastic local place for ice cream or a quick bite to eat. There's also a fun little petting zoo!

Nice place to stop for a quick bite while on a bike ride.

Love bringing the kids to look at the animals after a nice treat inside.

Amazing homemade ice cream, cute animals in the back 10/10

Got the peach soft serve, but didn't really look or taste like peach ):

They make the best black and white malts in the area, perfect every time!

A cute, little place to get delicious food. Prices are really good. There's also a petting zoo and my kids had a blast seeing all the animals.

Very good food. It can be very busy around here and room inside is very minimal. The best place to eat is outside, watching the traffic. Our children love the petting zoo out back in the woods. They've got goats, turkeys and all kinds of baby animals there.

Decent food at a decent price. Service is usually good. Quite popular with the locals. Can get a bit crowded.

Was a great fun day at the pretzel hut food very good and Ice cream for dessert grandchildren loved the walk with the animals in the park behind the the hut highly recommended!!!

Nice little place. Food was good and service was good.

Amazing place for icecream and the petting zoo is all hands on for all ages

Best home cooking north of Brickerville. Wonderful soups. Very filling. Friendly service.

The pretzel Hut has excellent staff and there's always on the ball waiting on their customers the place is very clean end family friendly with a little petting zoo Outback it's awesome for the kids

Fun little roadside joint with great soft serve. I had a burger, onion rings and ice cream and everything was excellent. There's also a petting zoo!

I love the food here and the ice cream. The little sandwich shop is decorated in Coca-Cola products which makes for a very cool look. The petting zoo behind is cool aswell but the animals a little more upkeep.

Just got cones this time but we have ate there before. Always have great service and food.

You can't go wrong here! There is a nice variety of items to choose from!

Great place to take kids for ice cream and to look at animals back up on the hill at their petting zoo
As a side note, the parking lot is gravel.

Really cool place. Has a petting farm for children, and very good food at a very reasonable price. Definitely worth to stop if you drive by or want to go someplace with your children or grandchildren.

Love the variety of soft ice cream. The pumpkin was wonderful

None of the staff were wearing masks. Most of the customers were not either. There were people eating inside even though it is still not allowed in the county. They nickel and dime you for every little thing. The food and ice cream are ok but nothing to write home about.

Family owned, yummy home cooked meals, amiable employees, farm animals on premise for all to enjoy!

Good Food. Great Place for Kids. Don't forget to check out the farm animals

Delicious traditional Lancaster county food. Best in the area in my opinion. Is often crowded indoors, but if the weather's nice there are outdoor tables

It s fun a place to go for a meal, ice cream and petting zoo. Food was good, ice cream ok. They re specialty is soft serve- not our favorite style but good anyhow. The petting zoo was cool, as you can enter and actually go up to the animals as opposed to through a fence. Neat place to go with kids

Great Jerk Chicken sandwiches, awesome little zoo, live chickens wandering the premises, I could go on and on but I have to get back to my tasty sandwich and fries...

Their small ice cream cone is the size of a large Dairy Queen for less then half the price.

Really great ice cream. The building could use some air conditioning though.
