    Wet, soggy and slimy. Look at the photos. Went back to the store- no help. Could not explain other than “steam from the oven” and “you can’t return food “, but you sure as hell can deny the charge!! DONE

    Recently purchased a pretzel nugget tray for my sons birthday party and they tasted stale! I was very disappointed in the quality given the price. I ordered first thing in the morning and felt as if I had received yesterdays product. I sent a note to customer service 2 weeks ago and have yet to hear back!Not the quality or customer experience I have received in the past.

    After going in to pick up a pretzel tray that I ordered 2 1/2 weeks prior and paid for from this pretzel factory in Eatontown New Jersey I was surprised to find out that they had made it the day before. Nobody called and asked why we didn’t show up the day before to pick up the pretzel tray, or the day after even though it was fully paid for. When we showed up the two workers that were there we’re playing on their phones the place was dirty and they didn’t offer to help in anyway. We were going to my son‘s 10th birthday party directly from there. They refuse to give me a refund because I didn’t have the credit card with me or offer any help. I called the next day and spoke to Daniela who laughed at me on the phone and told me a different story than the other people told me about when the ovens got turned off. The man that they called the night before said the ovens get turned off at closing time so in case anybody walks in she told me the ovens get turned off at a half an hour before closing time. I also asked for the owners phone number email and she said they had no such thing and the owners never come in and there’s never a manager there . I will never order from this place again and it makes me extremely sad that I had 15, 10 year old children without any snacks at my sons birthday party. As a business owner myself I could never imagine allowing my business to be run this way. We are completely disgusted
