    Variety of different bagel types to choose from
    Harold S.

    This is a modest little bagel place and they have reasonable prices. The bagels are large and most unusual they do not have a hole in the middle. The dough is light and tasty. They have a variety of different bagel types to choose from as well as various sandwich offerings. There are only two tables inside the place should you wish to eat there. It would appear as though most people coming here are taking out.

    Basic bagel sandwich with hair

    This is my second time finding hair in my basic bagel sandwich and who knows how many other times I have swallowed a piece of hair from these people who are working there. I am so disgusted! the first time I was very nice about it. I called. I let them know but this time. I'm not being so nice. I'm just taking a photo and posting it on here I'm so disgusted. I literally want to vomit! Please put some hairnets on please and shave your face please because this is disgusting and unacceptable/unsanitary. I'm not trying to be mean im posting on here so other people are aware! who knows how many times. Other people have swallowed a piece of hair without even checking or knowing it. Please retrain you employees!

    Came here for a breakfast sandwich. I ordered a south of the border sandwich with a plain bagel. It has ham, egg, cheese and jalopeno cream cheese. My sandwich was ready in less than 5 minutes. I should have asked for it cut in half because it was quite messy and the egg and ham kept sliding off of my bagel. It was delicious but extremely messy especially to eat in the car. The bagel was a bit darker than I would have preferred. It looked more like whole wheat with how dark it was toasted. Still a delicious sandwich and kept me full my work day.

    Great service. Easy ordering. Bagels are so good, great portions, filling. Get your moneys worth. Support this business! There's a couple tables and chairs but it's a good quick stop and go.

    "western basic" sub cheddar chz, on an everything bagel

    i can confidently say that my first visit to Johns today was the very first time i've had a bacon egg & cheese outside the state of ny or nj and been REMINDED of the past ny & nj ones i've had. The quality and flavor makes it totally worth the purchase, which feels rare nowadays. Thank you John whoever you are!!!

    Had a great experience with attentive service that let me leisurely decide on my order. I got the garden special. The sandwich came in a generous portion, though next time I'll opt for the garlic bagel over the salt bagel, as the latter was a touch too salty for my taste. The ingredients were all fresh and flavorful. My one piece of advice is come early in the day because by late noon, a lot of the bagels are sold out. Sadly the garlic bagel was sold out by the time I got there at 1:30pm. Definitely looking forward to coming back!

    The New Yorker Sandwich

    The New Yorker bagel was pretty good and gave me some flashbacks to New York bagels it looks like they have a lot of bagel choices available, but when I went around 10am, they only had like a third of their bagel choices available. Their service was pretty speedy as well and I don't think they ever get too busy, even though I feel like they should

    used to come here when I was in high school and it's still delicious quickly made bagels and sandwiches like I remember. I do wish the prices haven't increased the way they have buttttt I get it, they are also trying to survive inflation. If you're near by, for sure give this place a try

    BEST BAGEL PLACE EVER! My boyfriend and I love this place. We are a regular here. We had tried so many things from the New York bagel, Jalapeños Jack, onion bagel, the cream cheese with different flavors as well! Everything was so GOOD! The service was also always great! They are always so nice. They have a couple tables inside and one table outside. Overall, would recommend to people to try this place! You won't regret it.

    While heading to a training I had a craving for Lox so I did a quick yelp search and saw John's Bagel was on the route and made a stop in. Immediately you walk up and say wow this was a donut shop turned bagel space. After a quick scan of the menu I saw it the New Yorker sandwich which was the lox cream cheese sandwich I was craving. Now I will say that this was in no way a New York bagel or sandwich but it was very tasty. The bagel as other reviews stated are not traditional bagels in fact as I took that first bite I got more of a focaccia texture. Either way the flavor of the Smokey salmon, crisp tomato and smooth cream cheese satisfies the craving I had.

    Dido to the last comment about shipping the jalapeño jack bagel out of state? I am craving them and cannot find anything like it where I'm at :(

    Would you ship your bagels? I would do anything to get my hands on the Jalapeño Jack Bagels.

    Do they have vegan bagels?

    Besides our chocolate chip, cheddar/onion cheddar, jalapeño cheese/sausage and oatmeal raisin (contains honey) the rest of our bagels our considered vegan. They all contain yeast FYI . Our cream cheese is not vegan. But we do have peanut butter,… Read more

The Dutch crunch bread type was very interesting and a must try,if you have never had it. I had everything on it. Mustard, mayo lettuce, tomato, pickles. Not sure what else was in it other than avocado but it was amazing. Customer service was much to be desired and the dude with the long dirty blonde hair definitely needs some lessons with explaining kindly rather than just pointing at a sign. This dude shouldn't be at the front line taking orders,who knows how much business he's losing as a result of his public social skills. Placing an order. Speaking with this guy was a very unpleasant experience. The owner needs to record the interaction and reactions of the employees and customers to see what's going in. The food? Fantastic! Couldn't recommend a better place to order a sandwich from. Service not so much. Would have given at least a 4 ,but again customer service skills is lacking here. The sandwich maker with the brown short hair is really nice and pleasant to interact with. Maybe ted Nugent should watch how he interacts with the public. Update: Mgmnt got back really quick and remediated the issue with the employee and hopefully improves over time. Sometimes,that's all it takes to get the full 5* stars, thanks Steve!

I decided to go with The Lake show sandwich, cause I love the Lakers and I love salami. In addition to salami, the sandwich came with their bomb sauce, pepper jack cheese, lettuce, tomatoes, onions and pickles. The sandwich was served hot and it was absolutely delicious. With every bite I experienced so many flavor notes. It was savory, a little sour, vinegary and also a little sweet from the ripe veggies. The yummy salami was perfectly complemented by the other ingredients and each bite was perfect, especially with the sourdough bread that I chose for my sandwich. For salami lovers, The Lake Show sandwich is top notch and a must try! The customer service was solid and the spot is pretty casual and has some tables i side for dining in. Will come back again when in the area!

Just inside the door it was obvious to get a place to sit you better be seated "now!" Everyone was eating, tables were covered with food, it looked great.

The receipt was ripped off and passed over with a flick. No instruction given like 'they'll call your number' or 'you pick up over there.' In the next 5 minutes if you paid attention for about 20 seconds you learned how things worked. It was busy, plates looked great and the aroma inside the place was something else. Our food came quick, we sat and began to peel open our pastrami dip sandwiches. Oh, they smelled great. They looked great. The meat was delicious, melt-in-your mouth tender. They did notice us!

The bread was very good too-you know the Earl of Sandwich was onto to something way back when....the combination of meat and bread was great.

The pastrami burger and onion rings were the highlights for me. The onion rings were super crispy with a nice, light batter. The burger hit the spot too. The fries were a bit underwhelming though, kind of bland and definitely needed more seasoning. Overall, a solid stop if you're craving pastrami, but I'd skip the fries next time.

We called ahead to put our names in. Big location, lots of seating. It gets loud and busy. Easy parking in a lot out front. We were a group of 12 and they amazingly were ok with splitting up our bills per couple. My bf and I split Brent's #13 (pastrami) and the Italian sub. Both come with sides - we got potato salad, fries, and onion rings. The portions are massive. The pastrami was really good and there was a nice amount of pastrami in the sandwich. Pickles and coleslaw come in the sandwich too. I'd say it's probably not great to save it as leftovers as the bread will likely soak up the liquid from the coleslaw. The steak fries were good. The Italian sub was huge! Hard to eat because the sandwich is stacked so tall. I added some Dijon mustard to the sandwich which was a nice addition and it was pretty good but I liked the pastrami more. I didn't actually love the onion rings that much. The breading they come in is really grainy and I didn't find them that tasty. Portions are huge so pace yourself; in hindsight we probably should have gotten one sandwich and maybe one smaller item. We both were in serious food comas all day after this meal. You pay up at the front when your waiter gives you the bill, right across from where they store epically large looking treats like massive slices of cake, cannolis, and cookies. They're fun to look at!
