Food Service Ambiance, staff I will drive almost an hour to get their wonderful fresh bagels

It would be nice if they would acknowledge your presence when you got to the counter. They don't even look at you. Is it really so hard to just look up and smile and say I'll be right with you? They have 4 ppl ordering 12 sandwiches but all I need is one bagel in a bag with my two dollars so I wait five or six minutes ‍ I went there today, I went there last week and I went there the week before. The bagels have definitely changed to "breadier" rather than chewy. They must've gotten a new dough guy. But tourists, don't know and bike week is coming up so expect them to raise prices to $2.15.. mark these words read more

Pretty good bagels - definitely fresh, but not the tastiest. We got two bagel, egg and cheese sandwiches. They definitely skimped on the eggs. Wimpy and flat sandwich. I got a half dozen sliced bagels and cream cheese to go for our trek back to NJ tomorrow am. read more

Big Apple Bagels - Lox bagel - Bagels Near Me - Surfside Beach, South Carolina

Pricey for what you get. The bagel was fine, but the cream cheese was basically imaginary--more of a rumor than a spread. For a place called Big Apple Bagels, I expected a lot more commitment to cream cheese. Mind you I ordered the veggie cream cheese and not a spec of veggies to be seen. read more

Big Apple Bagels - Where's the cheese? $4 bucks for this? - Bagels Near Me - Surfside Beach, South Carolina

I have been eating there bagels since 2009. Everything is yummy. My favorite is and everything bagel with lox loaded.

This was our first and now last visit to this establishment. $8.50 is to much for a sandwich with barely anything on it. Bagels were better than other MB places. Nothing beats the bagels back home in NJ. read more

Closest thing to bagels back home (New York). Absolutely delicious and worth the drive from PI.

The counter staff is very friendly and efficient, however it takes a long time to get a bagel with cream cheese. The interior is not filthy but it's not clean either, it could use a good scrub down and repainting. The sidewalk outside needs cleaning as well. The bagels were good but I'd like to see them pay attention to the details. read more

I don't get the hype. This is absolutely nothing like a NY bagel. If you call your shop Big Apple Bagels, it should be somewhat close to a New York bagel. Sorry but this place wasn't even close. The bagel was very bread like and definitely didn't have that good crisp bite and the inside wasn't dense. It was closer to a roll with a hole in the middle. I was actually pretty excited to try this place and when we walked in, it looked like it might be really good. There were a nice variety of muffins and the bagels. It was a busy little place with what seemed to be a good customer base. The service was good and the people working were all very friendly. I was just disappointed with the bagels. read more

Very good bagels; not the best I've ever had but probably the best in Myrtle Beach. Would definitely get bagels here again when in the area.

Simply the best around. Always consistent. Sometimes there's a line but there's a reason for that!

The Bagel was awesome!! I had a herb and cheddar bagel with cream cheese. The cheddar was all the way through the bagel and not just baked on the top. The servers were very friendly. read more

My wife and I met another couple for dinner. We started by sharing an order of pita bread and spinach dip. All agreed this was excellent. My wife ordered the small antipasti salad, and I had the small house special pizza. The pizza was excellent and included various meat and vegetable toppings. I recall it was $14.35. My wife enjoyed her salad as well. One of our guests had spaghetti with meat sauce and a chef salad. All agreed the food and value was very good. Our server was the owner and had a great sense of humor. The service was superb. The atmosphere is acceptable but some of the tables and chairs are in need of repair/replacement. I was not busy during our visit, but my guess is that parking might be a challenge during busy times. read more

Some of the best bagels in SurfSide. Made fresh daily. They have jalapeños bagels which is a huge plus in my book. To make the deal even sweeter - they had jalapeño salsa cream cheese. Oh My Gosh! Outstanding! It was a nice local bagel shoppe l! Please give them a try. read more

Kind and friendly people and a delicious breakfast for two for $14! Bagels were delicious and the lovely woman at the counter suggested the jalapeño bagel with bacon egg and cheese. It was perfect as was the coffee. I am glad I tried it and will be back. No picture because it was devoured before I had the chance read more

The bagels are fresh and they have a number of sandwiches and cream cheese. Plenty of servers so the wait is very short. The seating area is clean. They have a few tables outside if you want to bring your dogs. I had the lox, cream cheese sandwich. It came with a tasty tomato, just enough onion and capers. My husband had egg, cheese and bacon. We both took half home for lunch. We picked up 6 more to go. read more

What a great find. Fresh bagels and muffins all delicious. Plenty of parking. My 4th visit and can get busy when the camping season kicks in so be prepared. read more

Well I was there about 1pm they didn't have many bagels to get so only got 4 was going to get 12 use to like them just don't go there later than noon read more

Decent bagels but charging for a cup of tap water? Seriously? It isn't like the run down strip mall ambience merits a premium.

Not only the best bagels but the biggest sandwiches with the freshest bread ever!! The service is fast and efficient. I've eaten in and picked up and it's always good. read more

Big Apple Bagels is a must every time our family visits Surfside. We love the specialty breakfast sandwiches, the variety of bagels they offer, and the homemade cream cheeses. Depending on what time you go, they may be out of certain items. Also, the line can be long, but it's worth the wait! read more

Everything here is perfection Fresh light bagels and every kind of sandwich u can create read more

I don't understand the obsession either? First, you're selling store-bought Philadelphia cream cheese? Just disappointing. I thought the purpose of a bagel shop was to have homemade everything? The bagel flavor was subtle but there. Ambiance resembled a run-down Panera. Staff was meh. All around could have been better. read more

So I forgot to check in but they deserve a little word to tell you all how wonderful my pumpernickel bagel was. Chewy boiled for sure!! I also got a French toast bagel and saving it for dessert!! Definitely give this little Gem a try!! Don't miss this place while in Myrtle Beach area. read more

Big Apple Bagels - Bagels! - Bagels Near Me - Surfside Beach, South Carolina

I love bagels and locks and this is the place to get them ! Always had great service although I hate standing in line to have to order their bagels are well worth standing in line and ordering on your own ! read more

OK I've had "the best bagels on earth" from Brooklyn Bagel Company in Chelsea NYC, BUT I gotta say Big Apple Bagels in Surfside Beach was a close contender! Big Apple Bagels customer service and ambiance was much better! We had their Everthing Bagels delicious! Plus their Pork Roll & Egg Bagel was as good as any I've had in Jersey or NYC! Biggest difference from NYC is their incredible polite and caring customer service! You will never see that in NYC! read more

Great tasting bagels, great service, so good the lines can get a little long, but worth it in my opinion.

Ordered a drink and it didn't come out right . I don't even like to complain about anything but I didn't appreciate the service . Threw it away and will know now . But a disappointment. The bagel was ok . More bread - like consistency. read more

Bagels here are very good. I would say traditional to what you would find up in New York.

These are the best bagels we have ever eaten, and we've eaten a lot of bagels. We live in Chicago and come to Myrtle Beach for vacation each year. When we are back home we talk about how beautiful the ocean is, the weather and everything, but then we talk about how good these bagels are and how much we miss them when we leave. Upon arrival back at Myrtle Beach we stop in, sometimes before checking in to the condo. We ask for what's hot when we get there and grab at least 6 for our family of 4. There's nothing like cutting in to a fresh bagel still steaming hot. Oh, the lox is amazing as well. Do yourself a favor and support this place. read more

They have great bagels says a Jersey gal. But I am not a fan of them using store bought cream cheeses! Really? So I go around the corner and buy homemade vegetable cream cheese or o the flavors then buy my bagel at Big Apple. Wish I didn't have to do that... but I could buy my own Philadelphia cream cheese next door at The Pig. That's why only 4 stars. read more

Not quite sure why it's called Big Apple Bagels b/c they're definitely Not NY Bagels. More like a roll‍. The egg sandwich had much to be desired, one egg, overcooked a few pieces of bacon? The staff was very friendly, but Overall would not go back.. read more

Okay bagels but major red flag when my friend and I went in to order breakfast to go and three different employees essentially yelled at my friend and told her she wasn't allowed to have her certified service dog in the store, even though her dog had her service vest on and had her tags with her as well. They also continued to ask to see her tags which is illegal. It's a shame that Big Apple Bagels does not accommodate those with disabilities or know the law. Very hostile and will likely not be returning. read more

They only get 4 stars because I am in Florida now and it's a long drive. They have the best bagels in South Carolina and I breakfasted there every morning when I lived there. Now I have to make my own. https://scontent-mia3-2.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/92345070_10213116309261173_1923187102749556736_n.jpg?_nc_cat=109&_nc_sid=110474&_nc_oc=AQkMITsT6BKqGDXjUJf4zrtGaD5LuATYn8ouxM3FwobiH5maYVoUe3QjWzsLTR89HtZnlUE5WqRyukrIUMIrS0Jn&_nc_ht=scontent-mia3-2.xx&oh=3a458dde573d403bc88310117e66ed02&oe=5EB588B4 read more

We used to love these bagels. They were soft and big. Now they are half the size for the same amount of money!! Very disappointed

Placed an order for 2.5 dozen bagels a day and a half in advance for a late morning pickup. When I arrived, the order was not ready. While I waited, I paid (unfortunately, they won't accept recently expired coupons like many of the other businesses). Minutes later, a man came out of the back with the bagels and rudely said to his staff, "make sure they pay." I said they were mine, and I had to wait to verify that I had already paid (I was not given a receipt). When I got home, I found out that I did not have the correct number of bagels. It's time to take our business elsewhere. read more

Great food, very fresh, very good! People and service are awesome! They had no problem making a sandwich with changes, not like you were bothering them, and happy to do this for you. A nice place to go, be welcomed and treated well. read more

We stopped in on a whim after walking from Family Dollar to Rite Aid and the bagels smelled so good. There were people eating outside and inside, but no wait for us to order. I got the French toast bagel sandwich on a French toast bagel . It was good! Definitely a unique combo, but I liked it! There were plenty of sandwich options to choose from, deli and bagel, plus a variety of bagels. Staff was friendly, prices were reasonable and the wait was short. My kind of visit! Hubby had a Mediterranean bagel with Lox and said it was good. Stop by if you are in the area. read more

Anyone looking for a perfect grab and go breakfast bagel? This place is awesome! They have a variety to choose from bagels. If you like breakfast bagel, the Turkey Club on Everything Bagel was delicious and filling! I also love the plain Everything Bagel with Chive and Onion Cream Cheese Spread. They weren't stingy on the cream cheese which is awesome! read more
