Five stars for onion rings, bagels, and coconut cake and service.
This place isn't cheap, but the $6 thick, fried, bendy onion rings is a killer deal because they're among the best I've had and you get a lot! I say killer because I felt like I was on the verge of heart blockage. Others mentions "a definite to order" (Rick R, Virginia Beach), good sized portions and fried enough (Clarence V, Glendale), 9 of 10 (Missy O of Berkely), AMAZING (Aly K of Vegas), and "good" (hard to impress Ben J, WA),
The toasted bagel wasn't cheap either, but the amount of cream cheese was obscene. They have a fair share of haters who miss the Bagel Cafe, but most are pleased, including: "wonderful. Lightly crispy outside, perfect medium density and bready on the inside" (Chris R, NY), "the bagel was the best part! I love how they put the cream cheese on it & give you plenty" (Terica B, Henderson), "delicious" (Erin R, Vegas), I mainly come here for the bagels. Anytime I am in South Point I stop and get one or two to take home (Heather N, Vegas), "impressive size"(Daniel S, Henderson), delicious NYC bagel is truly a NYC transplant" (Victoria S, San Clemente), "toasted plain bagel with cream cheese..a huge bagel, slathered with a thick layer of cream cheese. mmm! so good for when you don't want a heavy meal in the evening" (Janis M, Bakersfield), "delicious "(Laura G , PA), "had an appropriate amount of cream cheese" (Kevin M of Baltimore), "super fresh, even at 6pm" (Randi M, CA), "pair [your food] with a bagel and you have a solid, filling meal for not a lot of money" (Michael C, Albuquerque), "fluffy and loaded with cream cheese" (Roger B, Seattle), "a bit pricy, but a generous portion of cream cheese, and the bagel was oh so good" (Scott H of Vegas), "large and decent quality" (Jay A, Vegas), "delicious" (Mike M, Covina), "recommend you at least have a breakfast bagel!" (Karen G, CA), "a good breakfast bagel" (Christina V, FL), "salt bagel: delicious" (Lisa A, FL), "my date enjoyed her bagel" (Danny S, Vegas), "bagel and cream cheese was divine" (Suzanne S, FL), "excellent" (Teresa J, CT), "very good and fresh" (Joe K, vegas), and "Big, round, soft, crusty, the best in town, these could stand up to the competition in New Jersey" (Jay F of Vegas). We got three on our trip, though we will ask for it to be toasted twice next time.
The $8 slice of coconut cake was massive and creamy. We bought a slice and stuck it in the fridge knowing it'd be the perfect thing to devour when we got back to our room around 1am after the Dead show. "All the world is cake, so take a piece but not too much"- Jerry Garcia.
They also have Diet Dr. Pepper, which makes up for the lack of Diet Coke products on grounds.
However, I have a few complaints to keep it from five stars. The food is hit and miss: the limp fries were over-seasoned, the dry chicken fingers were flat and fishy. The value of some items might be in question, like the pastrami (which came highly recommended from a fellow Bingo player and security) portions looked small for the price. Check your to-go bags because they forgot my cole slaw (but gave me some the next day). The side of ranch is a flimsy runny Newman's Own (get real ranch, fools). Finally, at peak times a sign warns food will take up to 25 minutes.
But, go there for onion rings, a bagel, some cake- a meal fit for a king.
