Philly Soft Pretzel Factory

Not bad, not good. They’re pretty much your typical soft pretzels. Some of their innovative styles are good and unique, but as other reviewers have reported, they don’t keep anything in stock! There’s no consistent variety. If you’re in the mood for pretzels, you’ll leave happy. If you’re in the mood for variety, you’ll probably leave frustrated.

This place is awesome! Have a 4^th of July BBQ tonight and wasn’t sure we were going to be able to go because of the impending storms. I JUST called, (it’s 4pm, they close at 6) and the girl that answered the phone was amazingly helpful and said she could get a whole tray together for me by 5! She saved my butt, and this place never fails to impress. Thank you!

This is a new location for the Philly Pretzel Factory in Somer’s Point NJ right across the bridge from Ocean City. We happened to be here for the grand opening and we just saw it passing by. It is a typical Philly Pretzel factory.
There are no bathrooms for the customers. There are 2 stools there but because there are no bathrooms it is best for take out.
We had a bunch of pretzels and only seem to have taken pictures of a few. We had literally everything on the menu that was savory and none of the sweet offerings or my hubby did. I just had the cheese pretzel which is just a little plastic container of cheese whiz and a Philly style soft pretzel. My hubby had a Peperoni cheese pretzel stick, a Pretzel dog, a Philly cheese steak pretzel, pretzels dips, frozen lemonade and a few other things.
For the lack of bathrooms and also lack of utensils, (there were only napkins) and a bit over priced for just a pretzel, 3 stars. But it’s good. I love Philly Pretzels but they seemed to taste better on the boardwalk in Ocean City. Here they got cold fast which is odd they were hot right out of the pretzel oven.
I am first to review again and it is 7÷7÷2013. Unilocal tends to delete my FTR’s and award them to nonworking interns. So that is why I am making a point of saying I am FTR! Not that it helps it might be deleted anyway for no reason at all.

I just don’t see what all the fuss is over these, they are just average and I don’t feel like I’m in Philly when I have one.

Just like pretzels you buy on Essington Ave from a shopping cart on the way to the game. Except no auto soot and gas flavor. So I guess these qualify as healthy! Take that Auntie Anne!
All kidding aside, it is great to be able to get Philly style pretzels at a bakery and not as an afterthought at Wawa. You don’t know how good you have it till you move away, trust me. Support your local pretzel bakers!

I’ve been to the Somers Point Philly Soft Pretzel Factory on quite a few occasions this summer– mostly on Mondays to take advantage of their Dollar Pretzel Dog Monday promotion.
I love the pretzel dog. I’m not sure what brand hot dogs they use, but it’s a good quality dog wrapped in pretzel dough with cheese on the inside and baked. Health food? No. Delicious occasional treat? You betcha! And for a dollar each– why not?
*The dollar pretzel dog promotion is apparently not chain-​wide as I found out while in another town on a recent Monday. Props to the Somers Point store for a great deal on a yummy snack!
On the down side, as another reviewer mentioned, they charge for mustard. Charging for a cheap basic condiment is lame.

OMG! I was just back east and my folks came down from South Jersey with something I haven’t had in ages… Real Philadelphia Soft Pretzels! Which if you’ve never had them, you don’t know the orgasmic experiences we know from the days I’d buy them off the street for 5 for a dollar. Well, now it’s 50 cents a pop but they’re still incredible! And to my Unilocalers back out in SoCal, if you haven’t experienced these and think that Wetzel’s, Auntie Anne’s or (egad!) SuperPretzel is a real soft pretzel, you are oh, so wrong! Ditto those of you in NYC who think a soft pretzel should be grilled. These are incredible taste treats. I’m kind of thumbs down on the fact they charge for mustard (huh?) so just bring ‘em home and slather on French’s or Gulden’s or whatever you’ve got. Then grab a beer (ah, this and Yuengling has got to be brought out west!) You will never look at Wetzel’s the same way again. Should mention this is a rather large chain stretching all the way down to Florida, so hopefully someone’s got the California franchise or maybe they should just merge it in with Philly’s Best or South Street instead.
