Joshua DeckerOctober 17, 2017The classic lox is out of control. Also make sure to get any of the French toast. To die for.
MimiMarch 8, 2014Fancy Delancey sandwich on a plain bagel, so good! Sounds like flavor overkill on paper but just believe and you will be rewarded.
CristinaApril 26, 2013No words will express how good the food you get here is. Just go and order as much as you can eat...and maybe a little more.
alxxrtMarch 19, 2015Great Salmon Bagel! Get NYC classic Salmon, Tomato, Red Onoins, Scallion, Capers on a Whole Weat Bagel.
A ZDecember 29, 2018Delicious but make sure you come on off hours as much as possible to avoid the wait!
If you don't get the whitefish & baked salmon salad, something is seriously wrong with you.

Allie CarieriAugust 8, 2014Can't go wrong with smoked salmon, cream cheese and "the works" (tomatoes, capers, red onion)
Village VoiceAugust 18, 2010Super Heebster: heat, umami, smoke, salt, cream cheese whipped to ethereal heights, crunchy, snappy roe, silky, voluptuous whitefish salad and bagel w/ nice, shiny crust & pleasantly chewy innards.
SEGAJanuary 4, 2012This is the best smoked salmon in the world, hands down. Get a plain bagel with horseradish cream cheese and the Scottish smoked salmon. - Kellie, Community Manager
Christopher PepeMarch 12, 2013If this isn't the best bagel with lox, schmear, onions, and capers that exists in this world, then we live in a pretty phenomenal world.
Valentina MonteApril 16, 2013i'm sorry, but no. just. no. old new york classic wonder and all, tals > russ every day. here, bagels are biddy bagels that do not taste good. AND YET: the neon sign here is a vision. iconic.
DebbApril 5, 2017Went there to have a bagel sandwich. The place was over crowded and it's always like that. The bagel was good but I'll never wait again for it.
Michael ErbApril 3, 2022Best bagels I have ever had. The wheat and the pumpernickel were superlative!
Jordan LevyOctober 6, 2012They do an amazing job of packing and shipping the best smoked fish anyplace. Worth the price. Try pastrami lox - killer.
nancy t.February 13, 2018Hour wait on a Saturday around lunch, but worth it. Lox on bagel with everything on.

Kevin NgApril 24, 2015Flying fish roe wasabi smoked salmon bagel. Do a few of their maracoons for a bite after, too.
Super heebster is fantastic, but at some point I'm going to have to order something with lox instead, just for variety.- Get the Scottish smoked salmon - it has the strongest rich and smoky flavor.
Jenna FriedmanJuly 13, 2016Heebster!!! And they have great gluten free bagels too. This place is Jew food heaven.
joeDecember 5, 2013I thought it was excellent. Had a bagel with Lox and the heebster. Both very good!
Marc JacobsJune 30, 2012If you're shopping for caviar, you don't have to wait in line when it's busy. Just head right to the back counter and you'll get immediate service.
