    HOUSTON, TX 77079 / BAGELS / 03-03-24 / TAKEOUT +Bagels are huge and delicious. +They have a nice chew to it. I can't wait to try other bagels and possibly get a breakfast bagel sandwich.

    Pastrami Sandwich
    Haley M.

    I've been here multiple times (mainly in the early afternoon) and each time, they are sold out of stuff (which I love for them!) and I end up getting getting to try something new. I got a Pastrami sandwich on an everything bagel the first time I went and it was AMAZING. The second time, I got the same thing on a croissant for my friend to try. As a Boston native, he approved and has since started visiting this place. I'm so glad I saw it on TikTok and I'll definitely continue going whenever I'm in the area.

    Fantastic food and service as usual! Bagels are crisp on the outside and soft and fluffy inside. I love the Garlic + Salt bagel and tried the lox spread today. Great balance of cream cheese to smoked salmon. I was relieved to know there are no capers in the spread. Super yummy!

    Truly some of the best bagels in the city! A bit of a hole in the wall place, but worth the drive. Service was great and fast, get here early on a weekend because they start to run out. Grab and go place only, they don't really have anywhere to eat inside. Highly rec the lox with everything on an everything bagel, fresh lox with thick cream cheese, and the bagel was chewy and soft.

    Yall know how some places say there is garlic on their bagels but then there really isn't? THIS PLACE HAS THE GARLIC FOR SURE. Greeted by all 3 employees as soon as we walked in. And the girl there took our order right away. I ordered bacon egg and cheese on an everything bagel, my dad got the turkey sausage egg and cheese on a garlic salt bagel. I practically inhaled mine it was delicious. It was everything i wanted in an everything bagel. Got a bite of my dad's bagel as well and that was super delicious as well. He's already told me that anytime I pass by here that I need to pick up that same order for him again. Orders are made fresh, so we waited maybe 2 or 3 minutes? Not sure but it was quick and no complaints about it. They don't have any tables. But they have 2 chairs in case you want to sit there while waiting for your order or to eat. The place is kept super clean, we saw employees cleaning as we were walking in actually.

    I love bagels but it's tough finding a place that does bagels right in houston. Ive passed this place a couple times now and I figured I would give it a shot. This was hands down the best bagel I've had outside of New York. I got the bacon, egg & cheese with the everything bagel and it was so delicious. So glad I stopped by. The service was very kind and fast. Can't wait to bring my family here!

    Lox bagel sandwich
    Mallory W.

    Landed pretty early in the morning and wanted something small yet hearty to last me a while before I get my first day of traveling underway and came across this bagel shop on Yelp. Ambiance is very small and homey. Young lady greeted me and was very knowledgeable of the menu. I went with the Lox sandwhich on onion bagel and scallion cream cheese. I was just okay to me if I'm being honest. The cream cheese tasted a bit bland for it to be scallion and the lox was over bearing of all the other toppings. (Red onion, tomato, capers). For me to have an onion bagel and scallion cream cheese I was surprised that all I could really taste was the salmon. It looked soooo good but just lacked the flavor I was look my for. 4 stars cause it really could just be me but didn't give what I thought it should have.

    I knew this was going to be good once I saw the "Jersey Special" on the menu. Nice little take out spot with friendly staff and a great variety of bagels. I had been craving a pork roll, egg and cheese since I moved out here and I found the spot. Very affordable and the breakfast sandwiches are filling. I had to get the double egg and meat and I could only eat half. It was done perfectly and it sure reminded me of the times I lived in South Jersey. I'm stoked to have found this gem to get my favorite breakfast sandwich and I'll be looking forward to trying their other bagels.

    I love Bob and his Bagel's! Bobs's can literally do no wrong in my eyes as long as they continue to make my lox bagel sandwich. I've been visiting for the past few months and always get the same thing lox bagel sandwiches on plain toasted no tomato. It's literally perfect every time! The bagels are always so fresh and the fluffiest most fresh bagels I've ever had. Einstein Bro's couldn't hold a candle to Bob's! Service is always great and quick and the place feels very neighborhood gem type breakfast spot. Highly recommend for all your bagel needs!

    I was looking for a good bagel shop in houston after getting back from NY. I found it in Bagel Bob's! When I arrived i was quickly greeted by the staff behind the counter including Bob, himself. The ambiance is a typical bagel shop and don't let the strip shopping center stop you this a truly a neighborhood gem! Service was great and in order half dozen bagels and a breakfast sandwich. when they handed me the bag i had flash backs to NY how heavy the bag was. Right then and there i knew these bagels were going to be delicious. The breakfast sandwich came and i ordered it with a plain bagel with bacon egg and cheese. The sandwich was awesome and they have me a regular customer.

    Now THAT is a NY bagel. We got two bacon egg and cheese breakfast sandwiches and they were phenomenal. Service was deli style - quick, convenient, friendly. Get the everything bagel sandwich with bacon egg and scallion cream cheese. Next time, I'll get it jersey style :)

    Best bagels I've had in a long time. If your looking for NY style bagels this is the place to go. We ordered a Bacon, egg and cheese sandwich on an everything bagel and a Steak, egg and cheese sandwich on a garlic and salt bagel. Both sandwiches were made fresh, they were delicious. The outside of the bagels were toasted and in inside soft and fluffy. It literally took me back to my visits to NY. My husband finished his sandwich and said "This is the best bagel sandwich I've had" I have to say I agree The staff is friendly, the atmosphere was very welcoming. Definitely recommend trying them out if you live or are ever in the Houston Texas area

And all of them are good. Come to Texas, though, and it's a bagel desert. Not any more. Damn, these are really good: crispy outside with a soft, moist inside. Super selection of all of the REAL bagel flavors (not the boujie flavors - although they do have some of those): plain, onion, garlic, salt, rye, pumpernickel, everything, sesame seed, poppy seed. All of the ones I got (and I got a dozen of a variety of their offerings) were scrumptious. Don't waste your money going anyplace else if you want a true bagel. No matter how you eat it (plain, with cream cheese, butter, peanut butter or as a sandwich holder), these bagels are fabulous! Had a nice chat with Josh when I stopped in; it's obvious this place has great employees. Sandwiches are available here too, so stop in for lunch if you're in the area. Otherwise stock up and eat one every morning for breakfast. Oh, you can't go wrong with that! Tubs of cream cheese (in many flavors) are also available. Nice little shop that was clean, nicely decorated with a few tables if you aren't heading back on the road. Ample parking, whether you're running in for a quick dozen or a to grab a custom-made sammie. I will be back. You can bet on it.

As for the brisket sandwich, I thought it was good in terms of the meat, however, I must say it reminded me of sloppy joes too much. If I had to choose, I prefer getting the brisket sliced over chopped. As for the coleslaw, it was fresh and not too overwhelming with the mayo, which I love. The ratio of cabbages and carrots were evenly distributed. Lastly, the pecan pie was not too sweet and really soft yet crunchy. Overall, I would love to come here again, it was honestly one of the best!

It was surprisingly sorta busy, even though they were close to closing. Service was fine, not great. It felt like all the workers were teenagers who didn't really care, if you know what I mean. SAUSAGE, EGG, & CHEESE: It was exactly what you'd expect, in a good way. The bagel was hot, soft, and satisfying to eat. The TURKEY SAUSAGE, EGG, & CHEESE tasted almost exactly the same. Hard to tell the difference. JALAPEÑO CHEESE BAGEL: Surprisingly loaded with jalapeños and spicier than expected. PLAIN BAGEL: My last option. Plain is plain is plain. Not much else to say about it. I overheard a worker say that he likes the egg bagels more than the plain, and I instantly regretted not getting the egg instead of plain. It isn't bad, it's just not anything special with no flavor. LOX SANDWICH: At first, I thought it was loaded with salmon and was impressed, only to realize that there were thick tomato slices blending into the salmon slices. I felt a little bamboozled while eating because I thought it was loaded with salmon, but it was really loaded with tomato. The ratio was definitely off, with more tomato than salmon. Very disappointing. I could taste the salmon, but it definitely wasn't worth the price. Also, the bagel was too hard. I don't think they heated it at all. Or if they did, it wasn't enough. You could probably request it get heated more when you order though. Also, extremely messy to eat. The salmon and tomatoes kept sliding out with every bite. All in all, not a terrible lox sandwich. It's decent if you're craving one and in the area, but I'm sure I can find a much more satisfying one somewhere else.
