    Jersey Boy (sausage, egg, and cheese)
    Katy C.

    I honestly don't frequent this area of downtown that much but had some spare time before a class recently so I stopped in to Brooklyn Bodega for a light bite. The menu includes breakfast items and sandwiches/wraps made to order. This is pretty much a takeout only spot, they have a few stools and a bar rail but I'd recommend taking your food to go. I ordered the Jersey Boy (sausage, egg, and cheese) on an asiago bagel as I had heard their bagels were really good. I am honestly not the world's biggest bagel fan, especially when it comes to breakfast sandwiches, but I really liked this bagel sandwich. The bagel was cheesy flavored and soft to bite. The egg was so fluffy and steaming hot, yet not overcooked at all. A classic breakfast staple, so well done. I'd love to come back for a sub for lunch. They are only open til 3 most days so be sure to add it to your list of lunch spots.

    First of all, the owner was so kind and friendly. I was happy to patron this place because of the welcoming environment, the tips and tricks for building a delicious bagel sandwich that hit the spot before work. For $10 I got a Asiago bagel with egg, cheese, onion and tomato with some cream cheese. It hit the spot. Service was quick. They have a cash discount. I appreciate the friendly environment and can do attitude. I hope this place is successful!

    So good I had to double back. I got the bacon egg and cheese on a garlic bagel. The food was fresh, the bagel was one of the best I've had in the city. Upon arrival I was met with a genuine greeting. Will definitely be coming returning !

    third visit and 10/10 recommend the chopped cheese, but you really can't go wrong with anything you order.

    I got there right when it opened and honestly it took them a while to get me my bagel but it was definitely worth it. I ordered the Jersey Boy on an Asiago bagel, added the jalapeño cream cheese.. it was amazing. I will have to go back and get that again!

    I am a bread girl and I LOVED the bread on this sub! It was perfectly toasted on the inside and soft and fluffy on the outside. The portion was huge as you can see in this photo, I was so full from just half of this sub but couldn't resist and ate the whole thing. The service was quick and friendly. I'll definitely be back to try some more items!

    Great addition to the corner of Jefferson and Fulton! The owners instantly greeted me and walked me through their menu and made some suggestions. I opted for the Jersey Boy breakfast sandwich which is sausage, egg, and cheese on any bagel I pick, so I went with an everything bagel. The owner mentioned I could make it a combo to include a drink and potatoes, which I did! Everything was made fresh right in front of me and within 5min, I was walking out with a delicious breakfast. The portions were large/fair for the price and they had a ton of drinks to pick from. I wish they had some juice options for breakfast but I still found something I liked. I'm excited to have another option nearby and to try some of their other options. They sell their breakfast menu all day as well! Give these guys a shot.

    Bagel with sausage, egg and cheese on the top bagel!

    These are some of the best bagels I've ever had. They were fluffy, crunchy and not too thick to overwhelm the rest of the sandwich. My husband and I got a sausage, egg and cheese sandwiches that hit the spot and were somehow juicy for breakfast sandwich? I don't know how they did it but so yummy, would recommend!!

    The Brooklyn Boy

    Was in town over the weekend djing a wedding. Some friends of mine from New York who were also in town came to eat lunch and mannnnn the food was so great. I ordered the Brooklyn Boy sandwich (ham egg + cheese) and I got it on a honey oat bagel. We also split the chopped cheese, which, I was thinking about all day. Got to meet the owner and his super nice family who made the sandwiches. I had to drive back on Sunday and was sad that I couldn't get a chopped cheese to go on the way back to Chicago. I'm posting this on a Tuesday and I'm still thinking about the Chopped Cheese from Saturday. It's only a three hour drive, I might just drive back up for the day to get a couple. Please go support this black owned small business. I promise it's worth it.

    We love breakfast sandwiches and there are not a ton of places with unique and super delicious ones in town. The downtown location is tough for us to get to unfortunately but we finally made it for take out on a Sunday morning. Everything was ready on time. I had a breakfast sandwich with bacon, egg, and cheese. It was so good! The bagel was awesome and it was cheesey and gooey. The potatoes were also excellent. I hope to make it down here more often!

When I walked in, the place was packed. It's a small space, and it was bustling around 1 pm. I was noticed by a kind employee who let me sit at a cozy booth. The menu is huge and includes tons of sandwiches, burgers, wraps, and salads. It was tough to choose but I went with the Irish reuben (grilled pastrami, corned beef, bacon, sauerkraut, swiss cheese, thousand island on marble rye). Sandwiches come with chips, or you can upgrade to fries (regular, sweet potato, or Southwestern dipping fries) - I went with the Southwestern dipping fries, which are seasoned potato wedges. My food came out quickly and I was amazed at the large portions. It was a full basket of fries and a sandwich that would equal two full sandwiches elsewhere. The sandwich was super hot and delicious and packed with meat. I think it's one of the tastiest reubens I've had in awhile. The fries were good, but I think I prefer regular fries. Glad I got to try them, though. They have a daily special where a specific item is discounted, which makes it an affordable option for lunch. I was there on a Tuesday so the special was a spicy fried chicken sandwich or wrap for $12 served with chips or fries. That's a great deal! I will definitely be back for one of their specials. The employees I interacted with were all very friendly and kind and working really hard. I always appreciate good customer service and I found that here. Finally, they serve beer and wine, so if you want a drink with lunch, that is an option as well. The only downside is the small dining area, so I wouldn't say it's great for large groups, and they are only open Monday through Friday for lunch. Luckily I have a flexible schedule, so I'll be back for lunch again soon!

Spacious parking outside. I tried their hot pastrami sammy. The pastrami was sliced against the grain to make it easy to bite, and it tasted perfectly pastrami-y--that signature smoky briny taste, but it wasn't too salty. The portion was enormous! Half an O'brien's sammy would have been the full order anywhere else. There's even a little buddy-sized sink and a tiny toilet in the men's bathroom! Popular with locals and it's easy to see why.

It was about $20 per pound, which is certainly better than any restaurant pricing so I was happy. I don't buy a ton of meat so I'm not sure if that pricing is in line with other stores, but I wanted to support this local shop right in my own neighborhood. They had a large selection of other cuts of meat, chicken, and packaged items like crackers, sauces, dips, gifts, and more. I'm definitely coming back to Grand Butchers the next time I need a more special cut of meat. Love the large parking lot and I was in and out in no time.

They made me a delicious panini grilled cheese and veggie sandwich that was a perfect compliment to the recommended chili. I added onions and cheese to my chili and it was phenomenal! Flavorful and the exact right amount of spice. The whole mom 'n pop shop had fun add-ons that could be purchased like candy cigarettes, local pops and delicious sounding pints of ice-cream. I'm happy I found this little gem. Maybe next time I should test their pizza. Sold by the slice during the day for 3-4 bucks a slice. Definitely recommend the paninis and chili. Good deal for $13 and much tastier and more food than Panera bread's U pick 2. This place deserves all the business! Friendly and affordable. Support local, your stomach will thank you.
