I'm not sure what is going on at this location, but the quality all across the board was terrible. The food was burnt and dry, (I got the cinnamon pretzel bites and the pepperoni pretzel bites totaling almost $17). The cinnamon bites were decent, it was not fresh but mehhhh. The pepperoni was absolutely horrendous, not edible at all. Went back to show her the burnt bites and the excuse was "I don't know how to process a refund."I'll never go back and if asked. I would recommend you not to spend your money. Clearly other reviews are complaining about the same. Not worth the exchange on any level.

Purchased a pretzel and left the mall. Took a bite and it was dry. I took the pretzel back the next day for a replacement. The Caucasian young lady with black rimmed glasses and no name tag refused to give me her name and also told me that since was purchased the day before she wouldn’t replace it. Reported to corporate. I was told that I would get a call from the manager, however no one responded. I will not purchase anymore pretzels.

I work near this store and always come and buy something but there's one girl that although she greets I always get subpar food/drink quality. Today I get their new oreo pretzel and it barely had any oreo bites and most of the pretzels were dry. I asked did she put any sauce on it. She said she did but the one I had the other day was how it was pictured and Good quality. I gave her the benefit of doubt and took them but I bit into one and saw that only two nuggets had bites n a Lil sauce on the bottom of the cup. I asked for a refund she said she wasn't train which is understandable but literally all she had to do was to offer me what was advertised i paid almost 8 dollars for dry unappealing bites.

This is my second time coming here and the pretzel nuggets are burnt and disgusting. It’s clear they do not clean the equipment. Definitely calling the health department, something isn’t right.

I have to say that the lady was very nice. Even though the soda machine was down she wasn't letting that stop her.I got a cup of the bites and they cooked perfect.
