    Cheddar jalapeño bagel with cream cheese and coffee
    Alex F.

    Great breakfast spot. Stopped in here for a meeting and really appreciate the efficiency and friendliness of the service. Bagels were more like rolls. They have a lot of dough conditioner. But they are delicious when you think of them as rolls and not bagels. I tried cheddar jalapeño bagels and they are nicely spicy! Coffee is OK. Seating is spartan but functional...

    My friend always snags me a bagel from here when we go on road trips. I recently had an everything but the bagel and cream cheese. It was delicious! Highly recommend!

    Favorite bagel shop in Arlington (courthouse). Definitely worth a try and then you're hooked. Indoor and outdoor seating.

    Jalapeno Cheddar

    Amazingly fresh bagels! Had the cheddar jalapeño with plain cream cheese, delicious with some kick! Can't wait to go back and try more.

    Blueberry bagel with strawberry cream cheese
    Caroline K.

    Got a toasted blueberry bagel with strawberry cream cheese. Both flavors were pretty muted - maybe this is good for some, I kinda wish I got to taste more fruity fun! Good price point for fresh tasting products. This is such a go-to place for Arlington locals.

    I love bagels...and I'm very particular about them. My standards are even higher if there is something New York related about the name. This place definitely lived up to my expectations. I had an everything bagel with garden veggie lite cream cheese and it was outstanding. Of particular note, some places slop on so much cream cheese that it is excessive and wasteful. Not here - they used the perfect amount.

    Very authentic my bagel spot, classics are good. Good spot for a Sunday/sat breakfast. Service was fast, line moved pretty fast.

    Triple Decker
    Eva L.

    Came here post run for a bagel. Small business but they do require a $10 min to use a credit card as a heads up. I ended up getting the Triple Decker, chose one on sight since it was getting packed with a ton of runners. Cute spot and they were quite efficient. The server that made your sandwich also found you and handed your food, which is a good way to accommodate and split the load. Good and fast place to pick up a sandwich, just make sure you have cash or a minimum of $10 to use card.

    Egg white and cheese sandwich on French toast bagel
    Tori C.

    Find it odd this place has mediocre reviews on Yelp because most people enjoy them. Today I ordered an egg white and cheese sandwich on a French toast bagel for breakfast. The staff was super nice when I walked in and my order was waiting for me. I ate at the office and feel more than full for most of the day. I've only had sandwiches from here, never just a bagel and schmear so keep that it mind. However I really like this place!

    Consistently rude Parking isn't great No real space inside to live around Not the best bagels Bethesda bagel is much better

    Egg white, spinach, cheese

    OVERALL: Small but best bagel shop in the area. Line could be a little more efficient but you're not waiting long enough for this to be a problem. FOOD: Great texture, flavor, and size. Several pre selected options and of course you can build your own bagel. They also offer smoothies but the milk is powdered so I didn't try it. VENUE: super small and a little confusing when you first walk in because it's always crowded but just get in line and someone from behind the counter will get your order as you move up the line. You pay at the end where the cashier is located (which is the entrance and most people go there first instead of getting in the line)

    Sausage, Egg, and Cheddar on Plain

    Place is always packed. It's good if you're craving a breakfast sandwich and comes out hot. I was not the biggest fan of the sausage, but it did the job for my Saturday morning craving.

    My girlfriend and I went here for dinner recently…read more Ambiance is on point with a very fun bee/ honey theme. They had a cute outdoor seating space, however it was cold and rainy so we couldn't sit there. We had the fried green tomatoes, snd both got the salmon with two sides of your choice. I got Brussels sprouts and potatoes. She got Mac and cheese and salad. The salmon was perfectly cooked and potatoes were crispy and salty on the outside and creamy potato on the inside. Yum!! We sat there until they were sweeping around our feet and they were very nice about it even then. I rarely close down a place these days, so I was grateful they were accommodating.

    Let me start with the good. Our waitress, Samika, greeted us…read morewith a smile and took great care of us. She was attentive, friendly, and kept things moving. The wait wasn't long, and the food came out in a reasonable amount of time. They also offer a Monday-Friday happy hour from 4 PM to 6 PM, which is worth noting. Now that we've covered the positives... I came with my family, as we usually go out to eat on Sundays after church. I ordered the shrimp and grits, my sister had the dark‑meat chicken with fries, that unfortunately had to be switched when they brought her the wrong white meat, chicken and fries. My granddaughter got sausage and grits. There are no pictures of the food because I don't recommend you come here if you're looking for real southern food. I personally won't be back and won't waste storage space on disappointment. The shrimp and grits....the portion was so small, I thought they accidentally brought me the sample plate. It should honestly be listed under "Kids Menu". The menu says it comes with chorizo pork sausage, but instead of sliced pieces like normal restaurants, it was crumbled so tiny I thought it was seasoning dust. When I asked about it, they told me it's "put in very small so you don't know it's there." Well... congratulations. Mission accomplished. You get six shrimp, and they claim the dish is "spicy". Please, the spice level was somewhere between tap water and air. Then there was the chicken dish. I tasted it, and my sister will give you the full breakdown in her own review. The skin had a nice honey flavor, I'll give them that. But once you get past the skin, the chicken was out here playing hide‑and‑seek with the seasoning. Completely bland. The fries were fine, not great, not terrible, just fries. Now, the bathroom: I was unimpressed. When you walk in, there were paper towels on the floor and toilet paper in places it shouldn't be. The handicap stall does have a baby‑changing table and some extra paper towel and tissue supplies, which is helpful. However, the toilet seat covers in the handicap stall need to be replaced, even though the other stall had some available. Overall, the restroom did not feel well‑maintained. Great service can't make up for food and facilities that simply don't deliver. This was a disappointing visit, and I won't be back.

When we made the reservation in advance, we called to ask if happy hour was everywhere or just at the bar; they said everywhere, so we booked a table. Plot twist, it's only at the bar / downstairs :))) We arrived 15 minutes early, so while they got our table ready, we ordered at the bar. 5 stars for the bartender. If I could review her, the host, and the happy hour prices in isolation, I would! They moved us upstairs, we sat down, and immediately saw the menus were different. We asked the gentleman bringing waters about happy hour and he sent the waiter over. The waiter, with about 2% helpfulness, shared that happy hour is only downstairs. I mentioned that we had called in advance to ask. We asked if it would be possible to have that menu or perhaps move. The conversation felt like pulling teeth. He said, with much dismissiveness, it was up to the host downstairs to move and if they had availability and left. (Fair, we move, he doesn't get his tip. An alternative? Give us the happy hour menu, still get your tip. Better yet, just be slightly helpful?) The host downstairs found us a table but shared it was booked at 6:15 so we needed to be in and out. It was no problem because we had arrived before 5 (early, remember?). Although, it took 15 minutes (I timed it!) for anyone to come bring waters or address us as their table. A little hard to operate with urgency when no one takes your order!! I got up, told the host stand, and they sent a server over, and he proceeded to come back all of three times. We also had to flag him down to get our check, while we sat with empty waters that were never once refilled. We had pizza, cod sliders, and half orders of aglio e olio pasta. The cod sliders were more breadding than fish, but the flavor was decent. The pasta was delicious. No five star Italian meal, but it hit the spot and the portion was plentiful. I didn't try the pizza but it was 12 inches, piping hot, and the two eating it couldn't finish it. The food came out quickly and hot. I think we spent under or just about $100 for four folks to have dinner + drinks, so the prices are really solid. Perhaps you get what you pay for though? Both of our male servers seemed annoyed to be dealing with us and mostly unhelpful. Noteworthy mention: there was a female server who was kind enough to bring us a brown paper bag for our to go box. She was running around and her tables seemed well cared for. Disappointed in my experience and the customer service.

Instead of monitoring, the progress of the finished dishes and removing those dishes due to space constraint, the dishes came from the kitchen, almost on top of one another, and at one point I had to hold a dish in my hand in order to make space to put a dish on top of another flatbread pan/dish, making things super chaotic. Also dishes had to be put on top of the menu because in order to order additional food, you need to leave at least one copy of the menu at the table. Overall, again the flavors and taste were good, though I might have had similar dishes from other places, and my partner commented that some of it is actually very close to the Capital One landing at DCA. I would just say that it was more due to the chaos and just the way that all the dishes piled up on top of us we felt like we were we had to eat super quickly so that we could stack dishes ourselves and create room at the table. Also, when serving the dishes were not kept level and basically was slide to the side of the dish, making presentation off
