The Bloomsburg Fair, Bloomsburg, Pa. - Saturday, October 3rd, 2026
Uncle Paul’s Stuffed Pretzels - 9th Street: 17A/23/27; E Ave W: 66
vs.
Lapp’s Soft Pretzels - 12th Street N: 38 & 42; F Ave W: 42
Two popular spots, but which one tastes better? LAPPS WINS!
This one may come down to preference in all honesty. I like the cheese and the texture of Lapps and it is less salty when comparing to Uncle Pauls.
My brother in law weighed them and if you’re looking at a cost comparison, you’re getting a better bang for your buck with Lapps.
Lapps’ Sweet Tea: 8/10
Lapp’s Ham & Cheese Stuffed Pretzel: 10/10
Uncle Paul’s Ham & Cheese Stuffed Pretzel: 9/10
Original Corn Fritter Guy - C1 Ave W: 105
Corn Fritters 6.5/10
These are okay. Too much butter, not enough syrup imo.
Notis the Gyro King - N Ext 11th St: 143
Gyro: 9/10
The talk of the town and I understand why. This was my second visit this year, it’s outstanding. Definitely bring a friend if you get this or you won’t be eating anything else at the fair, it is huge.
M K Bubble Drinks - 7th Street: 58; A Ave W: 10
Caramel Apple Lemonade: 8/10
This was really good, a hint of caramel and apple, but if you stop here, you really want the Shark Tank.
Vance’s Apple Dumplings - E Ave W:77, 87, & 91
Peanut Butter Cup by Penn State Creamery: 9/10
Bacon on a Stick - N Ext Mach Row: 33
Jamaican Jerk Bacon on a Stick: 7/10
They were out of the garlic parm. The Jamaican Jerk was okay, not really something I’d probably get again, but I did like that it had a kick to it.
Stemmrich Blueberry Farms - 2nd Street: 131 / 135 / 139
Blueberry Chili Cheese Dog: 9/10
I have walked by this place for years wanting to try this dog, but it honestly doesn’t sound like it will mix. I finally gave it a try and was blown away. I’ll probably get one of these every year.
This is why you should always try something different, you may find a new favorite food item.
Feed the Beast Concessions - 5th Street: 41
Hot Wings: 6/10
Slushie: 8.5/10
I came here for the bull balls and they were sold out. Settled for some chicken wings that were very meh!
Pap’s Ribeye Steaks - 10th Street: 38
All American Smash Burger: 8.5/10
Too my knowledge, this place has only ever done ribeye sandwiches in the past and it looks like they expanded their menu. I have to say that this was a great smash burger. Bluebird still has the best that I’ve had at the fair, but I still have more to try next year.
