very nice staff! had a slight order issue and they went out of the way to make it good. nice seating area as well.

Service is poor and will spend my money at other establishments. Get a stronger staff with a leader who is customer centric. I've been visiting the establishment for some time and it is no longer worth the time or energy. My money will go to another local establishment in Old Bridge. read more

Bagel Boy - Over priced and poorly managed Bagel Boy of Old Bridge - Bagels Near Me - Old Bridge, New Jersey

Terrible experience. Walked in for first time. Stood there for 3 minutes and no one asked me if I needed help or even a hello. I was only person in line than after 3 minutes a lady walked in and they said good morning ing how are you and took her order. I guess because I am not a regular they dont care. Terrible place 12 people behind counter and after 3 minutes I left. read more

The bagels at Bagel Boy are always great. I think these are the best bagels locally.

Such a great bagel spot! What I appreciate the most is that when most locations close early, this bagel store is open most of the day. Bagels are delicious, crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside. We tried their sesame bagel with cream cheese and also a bacon egg & cheese on an everything bagel. We liked their food so much we brought some friends visiting from Cali to try it and they enjoyed it. Service is fast & friendly. Plenty of seating and parking. This is definitely our new go-to spot for bagels. We'll have to try their breakfast platters next time! read more

This is my MUST HAVE when I visit. The bagels are always fresh and my order is always right. A bagel shop probably seems like no big deal when you live in NJ, but when you move away; being able to go into a bagel shop and order a "sausageeggandcheesewithsatpepperketchup" is EVERYTHING. They're always friendly, the place is always clean and it just feels like HOME. I hope they never change read more

Bagel Boy - Sausage egg and cheese bagel - Bagels Near Me - Old Bridge, New Jersey

First timer . Went on a Sunday morning .. for breakfast .. nicely located .. parking is good . Lots of parking outside .. ambience was ok . Lots of place inside to sit and eat .. They have very good options for breakfast - bagels , sandwiches , eggs , omelette etc.. .. they have many bagel choices - poppy , everything etc .. and lots of cream cheese options . It was crowded : there were 5-7 people helping all customers. Took a longggggg time to even reach to order the breakfast ! Slowwww service .. took us 30-45 mins to order and deliver our breakfast ... Bagel cream cheese was so good. We also ordered omlette . It was average . Have had omlette in other delis and they are also give other stuff like hashbrowns and breads . Overall a good place for breakfast but too slow . read more

This spot was a great place for food and even sit to talk with another person or get some work done. I was disappointed today at the appearance of the establishment. The colors no longer cover the lack of cleanliness. As most they are also experiencing a price increase. Which is understandable. The lack of cleanliness is not. I previously ignored the irritation of the workers when I would point to an unmarked salad in their display window. I hope they will increase their cleanliness and label their food for ease of ordering soon. read more

best bagel in the local area! it's such a busy location so you need to plan ahead or order ahead. their bagels are great quality. and their breakfast sandwiches hit the spot. worth the hype read more

For all the hype bagel boy gets, it is not worth the wait for the service. I placed an order online bc they don't take phone orders. Walk in and watched prob about 15 people order and walk out with their orders. It took 30 minutes to get my order and when I received it the roll was completely BURNT AND BLACK. Are you kidding me?! We have paid extra in the past for bacon and did not receive it, but we tried this again and was sorely disappointed. Paying $20 for two sandwiches is just not worth the hype anymore. Unbelievable. read more

Bagel Boy - BURNT ROLL - Bagels Near Me - Old Bridge, New Jersey

The egg white omelet exceeded my expectations, as the eggs were cooked as requested. However, the avocado was burnt, and there was very little avocado, along with a heavy amount of tomatoes and onions, which were likely used to disguise how burnt it was. It was frustrating to stand there and watch eight people who entered the restaurant after me leave with their food in hand while my omelet sat off to the side. Eventually, I was handed my burnt avocado toast and a slightly warm egg omelet. The service was inconsistent; one staff member greeted me with "Good morning" while the others stared. On a positive note, the place was clean and spacious. read more

I decided to give a second chance to bagel boy after a bad customer service experience. Upon ordering the guy was rude (short bold with tattoos on his arms) and he messed up my order and was charged for the missing items. I should've checked when i asked if everything was in the bag but the guy had a attitude so i decided to trust him ..bad choice. NEVER GOING BACK!!! read more

The best bagels around. My favorite spot to order a turkey bacon egg white and cheese.

Definitely was excited to come home and grab a good bagel sandwich. Bagel boy was definitely up to par and is probably one of the better shops in the area. I ordered a sausage, egg, and cheese on an egg bagel and was pretty full after. I noticed that they seemed pretty busy completing other orders (I'm assuming these were online orders). Lastly, There's plenty of room to sit inside. read more

I think the bagels here are just OK. Not bad but never great . Even when they go in the back and get them "fresh" still not hot and soft .

Not very friendly and pricy! Not knowing where the line started the people behind the counter gave no direction or help and others went in front of me before I understood how it worked. read more

Went here based on the great reviews. Nothing special. Prepared food didn't look great, and some of the dishes looked like they were there a bit too long. The bagels didn't have seeds on both sides, and my wife said this place is nothing like Avenue Z in Brooklyn . Once and done. Waste of gas and tolls. read more

came here for a rainbow bagel & they had rainbow bagels. They bagel was soft yet crispy on the outside as a bagel should be. I believe they offered confetti cream cheese but if they didn't they definitely should!

All the hype around the colorful bagel and I'm on board. Yes it's pretty and makes eating your meal fun, but most importantly, the bagel was soft and fresh and the cream cheese was delicious. There is something about a bagel and cream cheese on the East Coast that is just a step above. Happy this spot was in the area I was staying. I'll be recommending this place and visiting again on future trips. read more

Bagel Boy - Yum - Bagels Near Me - Old Bridge, New Jersey

I'm extremely disappointed I never given such a low score but today did it. First the lady at the register was short and not friendly at all. Seem stressed out because we changed one bagel request from a plain to French toast. She then turns around tells the young man to change my bagel from a plain to French toast. Well I get my order and still they gave me plain instead of the French toast. Previously to this my husband request his sandwich to be a certain way I can't recall what he requested and still they gave him what he did not request. Pls pay attention to details we are paying you for what we requested not how you want to make it. Pls fix this it's extremely frustrating. I gave it a two because the bagels taste good but lacking in service. You guys only had 5 ppl waiting after our order it was not that busy. read more

Always good,always fresh. Great selection of bagels and spreads. Also good selection of eggs,meats, Great staff.

We stopped by here before heading to our cruise. Never really noticed it until my bf mentioned it, and I think I'll be going here more often! Employees were super nice! Bagels were fantastic! I ordered an everything bagel with sausage, egg, and cheese. Omg!.. it was glorious! The bagel had the right amount of 'everything' and there was a slight sweetness in the bagel itself. Defiantly worth standing in line for!!!!!!! read more

Wonderful food and wonderful place, it's a real bagel spot 10/10. The service was amazing and my food came out quick. It's always busy and they still are able to get the food out on time. read more

Stopped by on the way to NY. Not horrible but def had better in area. The bottoms look Fake & the Dough is pretty dense & too bread like . The kaiser roll had a hole in it & they hardly put butter on it. Plenty of seeds though on the bagel. The lox cream cheese was decent tasting. Prob won't go back since we have a lot better by us. read more

When thinking about the staple foods of the NY/NJ area, you think of Bagels and Pizza. While a breakfast pizza would have been a savory idea now that I think about it, I was certainly very pleased with the bagels from this cafe. The dough of the bagels we tried was very well done. They offer a wide variety of spreads for your bagels as well along with sandwiches etc for lunch as well. If you have a certain bagel in mind, I'd recommend coming early though as this is a popular establishment and some bagels may run out quickly. Unfortunately, even though we arrived around 9am, two of the bagels we wanted, French toast and Blueberry, were already out. Would have loved to try those, but was very happy with the others we got in our set. I want to come back and try more of their menu offerings as it was hard to make up my mind on the first visit. read more

I went on a Sunday afternoon around 12:00. They do offer online ordering which is really convenient however it does say on the website it'll take 30 minutes for the order to be ready. I was in line for pick up but even that line was long because it seemed like a mix of people who ordered online as well as people waiting for their order they placed in store. Their bagels are delicious! I ordered an egg bagel with plain cream cheese and got exactly what I ordered. read more

Bagel Boy - Bagel with Plain Cream Cheese - Bagels Near Me - Old Bridge, New Jersey

I used to live in Old Bridge but moved to upstate NY. When I lived in Old Bridge I always went to Bagel Boy. When I moved I made sure to visit Bagel Boy on my trips back home to visit my parents and other family. Then one time, I stopped at Bagel Boy and realized that the everything bagel I got was only coated on one side. What the hell was this? I then switched to Manhattan Bagel in Sayreville. Their everything bagels had toppings on both sides. This past weekend I came back to NJ for a visit. My wife asked if we're stopping for bagels before we get to my parents' house. I said yes. She asked, "Bagel Boy?" I said sure. The traffic was horrendous and I decided to forget about the bagels and just go to my parents. After the initial meet and greet my wife asked if we could go get bagels. So, off we went taking a different route this time to avoid traffic. I ordered an everything bagel with chive cream cheese. My wife ordered a few different bagels as she likes to sample a lot of different things. Well, the everything bagel was light in color. I like them dark but we came an hour before they closed so I couldn't be picky. I separated the top and bottom and took my first bite. Wow! It's been a few years since I've had a Bagel Boy bagel and I forgot what I had been missing. First, despite the light coloring of the bagel, it still had a nice little crunch to it. The chive cream cheese was phenomenal. I could actually taste the chive. Most places here in upstate NY, you might as well just get plain cream cheese. You can't taste the chive. And then the thing that sealed the deal was the chewy interior of the bagel. Again, WOW! It was like eating heaven. I enjoyed that bagel so much that I went up and got a few for home. Oh, and despite the fact that I don't think there was enough everything topping on the bagel (and the reason for 4 stars instead of 5) it still was the tastiest bagel I've had in a long time. If they didn't have everything bagels I would have been totally satisfied with a plain bagel. So there you go. From now on, when I'm in back in NJ, I'm stopping at Bagel Boy. I'm just going to make sure I get there earlier and get some dark everything bagels. read more

Bagel Boy - Egg everything bagel with bacon scallion cream cheese - Bagels Near Me - Old Bridge, New Jersey

I first tried bagel boy because they have vegan cream cheese and bagel shops NEVER have vegan options. The restaurant is on my way to work and I stop in about once a week. The staff is incredibly friendly, they make you feel like family. I walked in one morning and a staff member recited my order before I even spoke, that meant a lot! And the food is *always* good, I've never had a bad bagel from bagel boy. They also have a large assortment of drinks to choose from. Overall, 5 stars isn't enough. The staff is wonderful, the food is wonderful, and the ambiance is wonderful. Side note: I'm super confused seeing any negative reviews. Don't let that deter you from trying this place out! read more

Bagels are the best around by far. However, the customer service is unfortunately lacking. There is a large staff on hand but most are, what appears to be taking care of the phone/website orders. I've been in extensive lines in which people are becoming frustrated due to the lack of movement of the line. I timed it today and there were seven people ahead of me. It took me 22 minutes to get my two bagels. I'm quickly losing my neediness for bagels. My two cents - There should be a staff to wait on the customers in side the store and a staff to prepare the phone/website orders. It's disappointing that the entire staff (owner included) is losing focus on the customers at hand since it's them who helped make the business what it is today. read more
