Awesome pretzel shop. We got the Jugerknot and it was delicious. It's a small place with limited seating but can easily place orders to go. They have a good variety and even have a merch area with T-shirts and stuff.

I was really wanting a pretzel but I have a sick kid so I couldn’t go anywhere. They messaged me and offered to deliver. Absolutely amazing.

I finally stopped into the Knott Shop, Kearney’s new pretzel spot, and tried the Twist Berry Specialty Pretzel—wow, was I pleasantly surprised! The blueberries paired with the lemon glaze made for a super refreshing combo. I was even tempted to pop next door for a scoop of ice cream to put on top… maybe next time! The staff was incredibly attentive and friendly, and the overall atmosphere made the visit even better. Highly recommend checking it out!

Perfect spot for a snack on our trip! Such friendly staff, and the pretzels were amazing! We had the Juggerknot, and cinnamon sugar/unsalted pretzel bites. All were delicious and fresh, we definitely will be back when we’re in the area! Our daughter loved it, and so did her stuffed animals
