Brand: 4/5 Outside, the sign outside the business did not reflect the logo used for the brand, which has an updated look. Despite the outdated sign, I will say that I like the new logo, since it has that western aesthetic that maintains a sense of classiness. Inside, the classic brown tiles of the floor have an inviting vibe, along with the glass counters showing the food. Website: 3/5 It welcomes you with the standard Slice theme that comes with restaurant website, but only at the bare minimum. Because it typically applies to pizzerias, this red-and-green theme works against the website, since it could mislead the consumers. Also, none of the menu items have any images accompanying them. Ambiance: 4/5 The television did blare a little bit, and the table we sat at was near the cleaning area, so that sink smell kept coming. Nonetheless, I did think that the chairs felt comfortable enough and the tables had a large enough space between them. The waiting counter has a wide enough space to bring anyone's order into view without it becoming a nuisance. Service: 5/5 The staff went through great lengths to ensure we had an accommodated experience. Wait Time: 5/5 We experienced no interruptions during our wait time, and the orders came quickly. Food: 4/5 I ordered the Italian, which is essentially an Italian sub with salami, ham, pepperoni, provolone, lettuce, onion, tomato, mayonnaise, vinegar, and oil, with orange juice. The ingredients and the buns had a fresh, natural preparedness. The buns held their form even as the ingredients started to pour out. I will say that the flavor resembles the Italian subs from other restaurants, though in this case, the mayonnaise had the most profound flavor which complemented the sub well. I did think that it had too much grease on it. A rule of thumb of mine is if I need to use multiple napkins to wipe my hands, then the food is too greasy. Worth The Money?: 3/5 Concerning food, I think that it reflects the internal conflict of the establishment's identity. Is it Italian-based? Is it diner-based? A strong recommendation I can make is to provide some menu items so unique they set King of Bagels and Subs apart from the other eateries into its own niche buffer zone. Hybrid eateries do exist and I can see a bagel-and-Italian diner working, but I just do not see it with the website. The food works with the ambiance, since it will offer you many options with a clear space. Likewise, the meals had the appropriate amounts of wait time and service. I did not have to worry about waiting, since the staff care about their customers. I do think that while the logo does have a good design, it only works so much, since I do not know how much the business itself reflects off the theme, especially if the menu appears pretty standard. I would recommend including that logo into more spaces, including even the sign if becomes possible. I will say that the menu items can have a high price. Is the price ultimately worth it? Not unless you wish to support local businesses. Other than that, any issues beyond principles will not entice you to go to King of Bagels and Subs. Rating: 4/5 Stars I can see how this establishment could become the King of Bagels and Subs, with the Howell Plaza as its demesne and the consumers' happiness as its regal mandate. For now, I do not see it. Recommend To... Anyone who works around Howell Plaza and need a quick bite at any time of the day. I can easily see how the King of Bagels and Subs could serve someone three courses in a single day, whether breakfast, lunch, and/or dinner.

Brand: 6/10 Pertaining to first impressions, I was very…read moreunderwhelmed by the Bagel Joint, since the bland sign does not reflect the name of the business, since it has "Bagel" written on it. I actually had to look it up to clarify that this was the specific bagel shop located on the Quail Creek Shopping Center. It especially does not benefit from having such a sign juxtaposed with the unique business next to it. I appreciate how the interior maintains the 2010s-era hipster minimalism, ranging from the fall décor to Bruno Mars playing over the radio. Would I say that the fall décor exhibited any unique feature of the establishment? Probably not. Ambiance: 10/10 The noise from the kitchen activity did not intrude upon the experience, nor did the music become so obnoxiously loud I would have ate outside. There is a soft coziness to the interior ambiance that made it easy to enjoy my meal. For a small establishment, the space between tables and the waiting area sufficed enough, since no one obstructed my personal space. Indeed, it uses the most out of what little space it has, which I respect in businesses. I could clearly understand the bagel options behind the glass. Staff: 9/10 When I placed my order for the meat, egg, and cheese sandwich, the staff patiently asked me specific questions, such as which type of meat and which type of bagel buns. I appreciate staff who do this with a broadly defined dish. However, I was not asked if I wanted the buns toasted or not. Nonetheless, I can see how the staff mean well. Waiting Period: 10/10 I always factor in the waiting period, whether in terms of taking or waiting for the order. I had a short, pleasant waiting period. Food: 6/10 I picked a sandwich with ham slices and sesame bagel buns, which had a well-cooked quality to it. The underwhelming size and quality of the sesame bagel did not complement the eggs or the ham slices. The sesames had more flavor than the buns and the ham slices. The overall price with the meat, egg, and cheese sandwich and the water bottle brings it to close to $10, which definitely did not suit the quality of the course, or the establishment despite how accommodating it is. Comes Together Well?: 7/10 For a quaint Quail Creek Shopping center business, the Bagel Joint definitely will satisfy any taste in bagels, since it is the only bagel shop in that area--but it only goes so far. I could easily find bagel shops with more unique qualities anywhere near me. I can see how the nostalgic element might work for it, but would wear out easily if the food does not. People and economies are chaotic. Businesses should not just compete with each other, rather they should cooperate to both weather economic uncertainty and to establish a market to meet a wide variety of demands, which is what I wish to see with the Bagel Joint and the Shopping Center as a whole. I would like to see if Ramtown artists have any pieces of art they can contribute to the walls of the Bagel Joint. Perhaps the sign--and the establishment itself--could have a more unique name, like its neighboring businesses. Rating: 4/5 Stars Averaging out the factoring scores rounded to exactly 8/10, which definitely fits this establishment. I would like to see how the Bagel Joint evolves with the times in terms of the food and the aesthetics. Recommend To... Anyone looking for a quick meal while also having a sense of nostalgia. Other than that, I cannot find anyone else who would be fascinated with this establishment.
