The Pretzel Bell

Consistent. Reliable. Good. It's a nice, lively but not raucous atmosphere. The food is consistently good, although not off-the-charts good. It's good quality American food, which is harder to find than you'd think it would be. The service is always fast and they get food to the tables fast. That's always nice. The food is rich but not excessively heavy. Portions are also good but not enormous. I feel the portions are just right. The food is always good, served hot, balanced, and made with care. I wouldn't say there are any particular standout items, but that's okay because I also don't think I've ever had anything here that wasn't good. If you're looking for a place where everyone can find something they like, this is a very good choice. I always leave happy and that's an accomplishment because I'm pretty critical when it comes to food, on top of which I tend to favor things like Chinese, Indian, Korean, and Italian styles of cooking.

This was my first time dining in! It was a pleasant experience. I ordered the pretzel as an appetizer (9/10), the steak sandwhich (10/10), the Orange Whip draft (7/10), and the ice cream sandwhich (10/10). Definitely worth trying!! The women's bathroom has lyrics to popular songs to sing to when washing your hands.

Perfect place for dinner in downtown Ann Arbor! The place is ideally located in the heart of downtown where you have the option to sit both indoor as well as outdoor. They have really good deep dish Detroit style pizzas on the menu and a fine collection of beers! The food and service both are very good! Strongly recommended!

Food was wonderful, host was great…. Not to sure what happened kind of hard to make assumptions and I love the fact that the manager was doing their job by following the law however I had to stop in Ann Arbor on my way back from Ohio, our car was acting really funny. Me and my husband stopped in here 4/24/22 to grab dinner and a drink. My birthday was 4 days prior I turned 29 years old…I had just paid for a new ID less than a year prior due to my last name change (issued: 5/4/21 expired: 4/20/22 not sure why I needed a new ID to begin with thanks State of Michigan). I left my charger in Ohio my phone was dead and my paper “proof” was not valid at the time do to my phone being dead and I do not have a printer. Waitress declines service of a alcoholic drink then advised me she was going to ask her manager, waitress comes back and states manager has declined me services of any alcoholic beverage. I am aware I “look” like I am 12 years old however the manager did not even come over to talk to me to look at my seven other proofs of identity…I am almost 30 years old, I own my own house, I pay my taxes, I have a six year old, I am married and two vehicles, no criminal record and believe the manager could of had at least came over and looked and acknowledged my “proof” (momma needed a birthday drink) keep in mind I am always the designated driver as well for any type of event and really just wanted to have fun. This managers actions would qualify as age discrimination 100 million times Thank you!!! for not showing this stressed out mother a good time, not only on my birthday weekend, but my husbands birthday weekend as well. Kindness and common decency goes along way ❤️
