Philly Pretzel Factory

For airport food this snack food was great and the prices and service is awesome. Super professional, military friendly and great staff working especially for an airport

These may be the ‘true’ philly pretzels, but they are not as good as the ones from the Amish bakery at Redding’s Market. The pretzel was hard but had the right amount of salt. I suggest getting a dipping sauce and drink to go with it

Decent Philly-​style pretzels that you can take on the plane – woot! I grabbed 3 pretzels hot out of the oven, so they were still fresh when I got to Denver 4 hours later. My husband, who didn’t travel with me, was grateful.
Not much else to say about this place – it’s pretty straightforward. If you have the time, walk to Terminal F. The pretzels near my gate didn’t look like good Philly soft pretzels.

How did I just order 13 pretzels and a full bottle of spicy mustard for $ 10? At an airport? That also included a handy box with a handle for easy transport. $ 10, at an airport! I felt like I stole something!

I am a big supporter of the trend of local restaurants at airports. It’s usually not as good as venturing out to the original location from both a culinary and vibe standpoint. However, it adds some local flavor to boring stopovers in generic airports.
Having a few hours to spare at Philadelphia International Airport I checked out the big map and Philly Pretzel Factory was calling my name. The location is at gate F and I was over in the gate A-​C area. In order to not have to pass through security again they have a shuttle BUS. The bus scenario was a bit dicey. You wait indoors but once it arrives you walk outdoors to meet it and it goes out on the tarmac and drives between the two gates. Round trip with 2 bus rides and getting the pretzels was about 40 minutes.
Now, was it all worth it? Yes, if you believe the exploration is part of the fun. They have a lot of offerings like pretzel dogs and cheesesteak pretzels but I had no interest in trying those ambitious options. I went with the standard pretzels at the low price of 3 for $ 3. They serve it with all sorts of dipping options but again, as a pretzel purist, I went with the spicy deli mustard. This was an excellent pretzel, salty and slightly crunchy on the outside. Soft but still chewy on the inside. The one thing that stopped it from being perfect was the freshness. I am not sure if the factory for the pretzel is in the airport or off-​site but while my pretzel was probably made that day, it was not fresh and hot right out of the oven. Sadly, like Philly’s Hall & Oates my pretzel had already reached it’s full potential and was just hanging on to the respectability of its past greatness.
Also, an FYI, there was another local legend Tony Luke’s in the same gate area so that will probably be my destination if I am in the airport again.

What a joke. Cortland kinox had a major attitude before I even asked for 3 pretzels. I told him to smile and he ignored it and continued with the attitude. Hands the bag to me and they are hard and not hot so I asked for fresh ones. He stormed away and ran his mouth to the guy in the back who came out and asked if I’d like 3 fresh ones. I didn’t do anything wrong or ask for anything unreasonable. He should have apologized and offered that. There are people who would love to have a job, but instead they employee knit whits like this that are rude and have no customer service serving people. I love these pretzels but they are best fresh and hot.
Thank you Matt for being kind and making me new ones

hello…
generally airport food is over priced junk
BUT for a pescatarian that was starving and I LOVE pretzels
good hot pretzels
this little place is in the food court
its not a good idea to eat hot and heavy when your going to get on 13 hour flight
right?
ask for one pretzel its a big pretzel or get three for 3 .00 or the fancy ones
I opted for one salt pretzel
it was hot it was fresh it was darn perfect
or I was starving but really I know a good pretzel when I eat one
ask for one
its only $ 1.50 and worth every single penny
super friendly guy served me

I found Philly Pretzel Factory in the main food court of the F terminal at PHL airport. $ 1.50 for a pretzel was a good deal and killed the hungries. Not too soft, not too firm. It did need mustard and I knocked off a ton of the salt.

I am only rating this experience based off of one time being here and only eating a regular salted pretzel. I wish I had a good experience here like most of these reviews. I’m not from the philly area but have always wanted to try this pretzel because of their episode of undercover boss. After watching it i thought it was a great company.
I think that their airport should give out a good and consistent pretzel with all of the travelers they encounter. But my pretzel seemed like it was sitting out way too long and was not fresh. It was a huge disappointment for me with the food. My guess is that it was just wasn’t a good batch but again I m big on consistency and they missed it this one time I tried it. My guess would be that other have people have tried it just once too while they were traveling but won’t try it again if they could.

Nothing at the airport is $ 3.
Except these pretzels. I picked up a cup of pretzel bites in the early morning hours and they were not up to snuff — a mixture of hard and overly soft nubs.

Philly Pretzels is located in the new food court terminal at the Philadelphia Airport, in Terminal F. There is a shuttle that you can take over there from the other terminals, and roundtrip will probably take you 45 mins — 1 hr depending on how quickly you get your food. Since I had a couple of hours in between flights, I decided to head over to Terminal F and picked up a Pretzel ($ 1.50) & Melted Cheese ($ 1) [
. The pretzel was really good– crunchy exterior and soft/​chewy interior with a good ratio of salt. The cheese sauce was also good, and went well with the pretzel. I will definitely come back for more pretzels if back in PHL!

Philly pretzels are a culinary experience everyone visiting Philly should experience. They are unlike anything in the world!
$ 1.50 each or 3 for $ 3.00. They are located in the food court. Doooo it!

After spending a few days in Nashville and being on a rather bumpy flight. I decided to celebrate being home with a pretzel from the Philly Pretzel Factory in the airport. My first bite into my pretzel I knew it was good to be home.
If you are reading this and your not from Philly. You have to try a Philly Pretzel! You can have an original, cinnamon sugar, etc., and there are plenty of dipping sauces. Also, there are pretzel bites and pretzel dogs. A pretzel dog is basically a hotdog with cheese wrapped in a pretzel. Give it a try with some ketchup.

I LOVE the new food court at Terminal F. What a great variety and a huge upgrade from the previous food options.
Having a Philly Pretzel Factory franchise in the food court is an awesome option for travelers heading through Terminal F. All of the convenience and yummyness if Philly pretzels without the added «flavor» of exhaust and pigeon dust that you get from street vendors.
The stand also has nuggets (in both cinnamon and traditional), pretzel sausages, pretzel dogs, and pretzel cheesesteaks. They have dips at the left end of he counter, so don’t feel the need to buy a dipping sauce.
However, the thing I like best about taking a pretzel snack on a flight is that they bag it up well and the smell will not annoy your fellow passengers.

Waiting for next flight and wanted something Philly but won’t cost an arm and a leg, so tried this place out. I had the Philly pretzel bread, it looks like and taste like a pretzel hot pocket but bigger and better! You have variety of sauce to dip in like cheese, mustard, spicy and hot mustards. Very good… cost $ 5 and it was enough to get u full
