The Best Soft Pretzels In Columbus

There is something so enticing about a good soft pretzel.

Ripping the doughy, warm snack apart and dipping it in honey mustard, queso, nacho cheese, or marinara sauce. The possibilities are endless! They also happen to be the perfect, salty comfort food after a long day of dealing with other people’s bs.

Here are the best places in Columbus to unwind with food that perfectly matches your level of saltiness.
