My go to place when charging my car and hungry for breakfast. As a NY girlie I'm always ready for a bacon, egg & cheese w/ salt, pepper, ketchup and this place delivers every time. The staff is always friendly and you can tell they aren't trying to hit you over the head with pricing. There's places to sit inside if you absolutely need to but I always grab and go. read more

In a strip mall, smaller location could be a little cleaner but; service was quick and friendly. The food here is good and you get your moneys worth but it's middle of the road. The wraps are bigger and packed and the platters are plentiful but it's nothing noteworthy. Overall a good spot to grab something. read more

Came here on a whim and so glad I did! The service was amazing, the food was even better, and the atmosphere was very homey and relaxing. Highly recommend! read more

the food was amazing i definitely recommend the cheesesteak , very large portions 10/10!!

Oh my goodness this was an amazing sandwich. Let me start by saying as soon as I walked in it smelt wonderful. The amount of selection they have is wonderful. I almost didn't know what to get. Also a wide variety of drinks are available. The customer service was the best I have received in a long time. My fries were so fresh. The sandwich was so flavorful. I was impressed. All I can say is yum. read more

Bagel 1 - 15. Cheesesteak Sandwich Lunch - Sandwiches Near Me - South River, New Jersey

Good bagels, great prices, friendly owner. Eddie has dealt with my family for a couple of special events. He's very fair and he has good spreads to go along with a good bagel. It's a clean cut and neighborly shop that makes you want to come back for more bagels. I've been to his other locations and they all do solid work. Thanks Eddie! read more

Really awesome bagel nook located in a very hard to find spot. This is super convenient for anyone who has to trek to the turnpike every morning and needs something to get them through the morning. The breakfast combos are definitely a drawing factor. The size of the food really sells the place though. Overall the bagels are delicious, just the right amount of airyness to chew. Out of all of the places in East Brunswick area, this also has the best veggie cream cheese. Everything tastes fresh and is filling. The only reason I docked a star is because the food took quite a long time to make and they accidentally included onions on a sandwich when I asked for none. I wouldn't mind the timing if anything that I got was hot but nothing had to be cooked and it still took about 15 minutes. read more

Excellent bagels and friendly service. It's also in a convenient location. We will be back!

What a weird mix of good and bad. BEC was good, but they forgot the ketchup. Everything bagel had a lot of everything seasoning, but was on the small side and very dense. The raisin bagel was nice and light, fluffy and big, but not a very strong flavor. Tuna salad was absolutely gross- didn't even taste like tuna. Avoid that at all costs. Fries were delicious and so was the croissant. read more

Another Bagel 1! Yeah! We've been buying and eating their bagels for quite some time. The bagels are delicious Brooklyn style bagels, made fresh every day. They have coffee and all kinds of bagel spreads and sandwiches. Our favorites are the toasted poppyseed with butter and the cinnamon raisin with the maple walnut cream cheese. And of course what Jersey girl doesn't like a pork roll, egg and cheese (provolone here) sandwich on a bagel ; ) And theirs is terrific! read more

Clean restaurant , front service men were polite . Had a fresh everything bagel with pork roll and eggs , with a side of hash browns everything was great ! Will definitely be coming back read more

My husband and I used to go here every morning. The pork roll, egg and cheese on an everything bagel is phenomenal. The coffee is hot and fresh. Unfortunately that's where the buck stops. The female at the register is beyond rude. If she isn't on her cell, she is eating at the counter, acting as if you are imposing on her time. We went in this morning and, true to form, no smile, no welcome, nothing. She takes a phone order...no problem. Another call comes in and instead of putting them on hold, she takes the order and walks away. Tired of waiting and hungry, we just walked out. The men who prepare the food are very nice, friendly and welcoming. They will come to the counter and chat with you and make you feel like a valuable customer. Meanwhile she acts as if she has better things to do, talks down to you and is just plain rude. We would continue to come here every day if she wasn't at the counter. Since she always is there, we opt to go elsewhere. read more

They dont follow instructions the french toast is is caked on cinnamon it's disgusting last time ordering read more

Bagel 1 - Covered in cinnamon after i asked no cinnamon all u taste is cinnamon its packed on it's disgusting this is my last time ordering - Sandwiches Near Me - South River, New Jersey

Poor customer service. They didn't toast my bagel as I had asked. Jalapeño cream cheese huge slices of jalapeños, which is very unappetizing. Go somewhere else. read more

My multigrain bagel was EXACTLY how I like it.. delicious! We got both breakfast and lunch sandwiches. Neglected to request bread be toasted, my fault. Friendly, helpful staff. Unbelievably QUICK! Highly recommended! read more

I literally just paid $19 for 2 $5.49 breakfast sandwich's, a $1 Arizona, and a $2.50 Snapple bottle. The math literally doesn't add up and their excuse was when I asked why the price was $19 is that I asked for extra stuff when the deli buster is literally 5.49 on their menu so they don't bother updating their menu, all that I asked extra was ketchup mayo which they also didn't bother to put on. 19$ for a little sandwich... There's literally a bunch of lint coming off the bread and bacon. Assuming it's from a napkin or something wtf‍ read more

No one was wearing masks whatsoever. Old lady at the register was beyond rude. Bagels were overpriced, uncomfortable atmosphere inside as well as it feeling dirty. Never will I be back here. read more

We always stop here for breakfast sandwiches in the morning before road-trips and we love their sausage egg and cheese and pork roll egg and cheese sandwiches. Always a good way to start the day. Bagels are always fresh and the sandwiches are delicious. Definitely recommend. read more

You know I really do like the food here but unfortunately the service is horrible they hung up on me mind you im a health worker. So I had to drive here and they are legit a mess. Unfortunately won't be coming back here read more

Some people can not admit when they are wrong. I called in a bunch of food and they completely forgot to put in order. Being the only person in the place I could not believe I had to wait 30 minutes for a veggie burger and cheesesteak. When my good finally came I didn't check it. I know that's my fault but I thought being the only person in the place that my order would be right. I was so wrong. Normally a wrong order wouldn't dictate 1 Star, but how management handled it does dictate 1 Star. I called back and told them they forgot my fries. The answer I got was "you didn't order fries". I know this is nonsense. So I told the lady that I very much did and with attitude she said "than come pick them up". Sooooo she's just willing to give me free fries? We ended our conversation there. I called back a bit later and asked that my receipt be read back to me. The man who answered said I'd have to come in. I informed them I was charged for French fries I didn't get. To that I was told that I wasn't charged for them and that I don't know what I'm talking about. Too bad I get the same thing regularly and know I was charged for them. I don't like when my order gets ruined, but I like dishonesty less. read more

Stopped here yesterday, if you like to get what you ask for avoid this place, waste of money, ordered scrambled egg and cheese on roll, and scrambled egg pork roll on bagel, arrived home, both sandwiches were fried eggs we hate fried threw in trash, how hard is it to scramble an egg. Also store was empty so no excuse horrible customer service. read more

During these difficult and scary times of Covid 19, Bagel 1 came through with flying colors! I called in an order for no contact delivery, and it was here within the hour! AND....the bagels were still warm! The whitefish salad was delicious, and so were the bagels. This will be our new bagel store going forward! read more

It is busy in mornings. Besides an outside room to place orders, there is a room inside to sit down and watch a TV. The Cashier, George, is efficient and helpful. Nova Vox Sandwich, with Everything bagel, tomato, onion, scallion cream cheese (+$1). $7, 5/5. Fresh bagel toast is easy to bite. Salmon is savory and portion is good. Scallion cream cheese is flavorful with support from fresh onion. Relish is crispy and delicious. Meat Lover Burrito, with sausage patties, potato, bacon, American cheese) $5.5, 5/5, It has a strong hearty meat/ fat flavor. Wrap is fresh and soft. Potato provides smooth texture paired with meat, and cheese. It is a heaven for meat lovers. Pastrami omelet platter (with cheese, onion, home fry) $7, 5/5. Fry is fresh and crispy. Wheat toast has a hearty fat flavor. It is great if you like it. Omelet portion is generous. Flavor of egg, pastrami and cheese combination makes me smile. read more

Beware during COVID times. Both people handling and cooking the food did not wear masks, nor did they require a mask of a customer who came in. The woman behind the register wore a mask, until she pulled it down and wiped her face with her hand (glove on) and then continued to handle the food and other items with the same glove on. read more

3.5. The name on their sign is "Bagel 1." Another reviewer referred to this place as a "hidden gem" and I agree with the hidden part . . . It's located on Old Bridge Turnpike (which is a road that runs sort of parallel to Route 18) in a little strip mall with a tiny parking lot. Upon entering you'll notice it is larger than you'd expect, with plenty of seating. You'll also notice the number, and size, of their menus. Menus on one wall, menus on another wall, laminated menus on the tables, menus on the napkin dispensers. Prices on the lower side. They offer your typical short order grill food plus deli sandwiches, including many named after celebrities -- a practice which seems to have fallen out of fashion these days. Just a larger number of combinations of the typical items, which is nice. With a Dunkin across the road, competition must be strong for a place like this and it's clear they are trying. The bagels themselves, alas, are fine but nothing special. My recommendation is if you are frustrated with your own bagel place, as so many of us are from time to time, they are worth a try for a change of pace. read more

The bagel was absolutely stuffed full and tasted great. Even better was the customer service, they went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable. Would highly recommend for anyone looking for a quick bite. read more

If you're looking for a phenomenal breakfast sandwich, look no further than bagel one. I order lox in a plain bagel and every single time it exceeds my expectations. Perfectly balanced and delicious! Thanks guys. read more

Fresh bagels and a choice of lunch or breakfast items. The place is clean staff is nice. They are quick to process your orders. Portions are large. We live this place read more

I'm very impressed! It's definitely one of the cleanest bagel shops I've seen. Has a great amount of seating. I enjoyed a breakfast combo of lox and let me tell you they definitely balanced it well, the onion and tomato and lox were evenly balanced so one wasn't out weighing the other. Selection on coffee is great, I enjoyed the organic Peruvian coffee and wow it's so smooth and you can tell low in acid, didn't bother my stomach one bit. I will definitely be coming back again. Thankyou read more

I got a everything bagel egg and cheese, and it was really good! BUT, be cautious if you don't like your eggs cooked over easy otherwise you will get a surprise. Didn't realize I had to request a regular fried egg. Other than that, great taste. read more
