This German Restaurant In Massachusetts Serves The Best Pretzels In America

The Student Prince restaurant in Springfield, Massachusetts has some of the tastiest pretzels this side of the Atlantic. Take a peek inside their cozy, traditional German dining room and bar to see why you should visit straight away.

The Student Prince is a traditional German pub with an old-world atmosphere and pretzels that will make you swoon.

It was first opened in 1935 and has been going strong ever since.

The first thing you’ll notice when you walk in the door is the restaurant’s incredible collection of beer steins.

More than 1,600 steins line the walls; it’s one of the largest collections in America.

Light streams into the dining room through beautiful stained glass windows.

The bar and dining room have a cozy, warm vibe that makes the Student Prince a hit with locals.

Of course, what would a German restaurant be without huge, soft pretzels?

These pretzels are just what you’d expect to find at a Bavarian market. Rich, buttery and so good you’ll find yourself craving one the next day.

The pretzels come with Inglehoffer honey mustard and beer cheese.

But they pair equally well with some of the Student Prince’s own beer.

This place also has plenty of other German standards to fill you up, like skin-on pork shank, paprika schnitzel, and traditional sausages.

Though you don't have to wear lederhosen to fit in, it helps.

Whether you come for the beer, the pretzels, or the atmosphere, the Student Prince should be on your dining bucket list.
