Luxury bagel
Nicole D.

Very busy spot on a Sunday morning. Ordering took 20 minutes additional 20 for food prep. The three ofnus grabbed a table while we waited. There is plenty of indoor seating available. I tried a Luxory bagel on everything bagel. The bagel is thick nice crust, mellow flavor and very filling. My sandwich was loaded with avacado and super tasty. I also brought home a blueberry bagel for tomorrow. The sandwich cost 20$ the bagel 2$.

First off this place was packed so it a popular eatery. IMO, the bagels were just okay. They say they boiled but the 2 dozen we had were soft like a roll.

I was absolutely blown away by this meal! Fresh, flavorful bagels with ANYTHING YOU WANT! Don't forget the cream cheese!!! Special shoutout to the iced hazelnut coffee YUMMY!

Great spot for bagels, I used to go whenever I was in the area . On a recent visit i saw that they have lots more items on the menu. - sandwiches, soups etc. They were near closing time so I picked up my TGTG order. they have a generous Too Good To Go offer - about 8 to12 assorted bagels . The bagels are great quality and delicious. Seating available. I must stop by to dine in and try the other menu items.

Jalapeño lox bagel

$18 for a bagel is crazy, especially for a sliver of lox. Definitely not worth $18. Workers are nice. Lots of places to sit and eat.

I think these may be the best bagels in Brooklyn. I'm almost regretting typing this since it means I'll have to officially give up gate keeping this spot. The bagels have a perfect chew, they're crispy on the bottom, and pillowy fresh in the center. Just get a dozen bagels with a few shmears and thank me later. Today I ordered a bagel with lox and the dill and cucumber cream cheese was reminiscent of tzatziki in the best way. If you're a bagel person, please order from here! PS: The earlier you order the better the selection! Oh, and the whitefish spread is sooo good.

Everything bagel with plain cream cheese
Tommy C.

Very solid bagel spot. Got an everything bagel (untoasted) with plain cream cheese to try and it was great. The bagel seasoning was perfect and not too salty like a lot of places are. The cream cheese was light and fluffy and the cheese to bagel ratio was perfect. Will definitely be back soon!

Sausage egg and cheese bagel sandwich

Food was great and service was good as well wait time was about five minutes. Not bad considering the restaurant was busy at 930 in the morning.

I would say it was a 3.5/5 for me more than a 4, but I did round up because 3 is too low. I ordered an everything bagel, toasted with lox cream cheese. Although I appreciate the amount of cream cheese they gave me, for me personally, it was too much. I went a second time and ordered light cream cheese, and still got way too much. The taste of the everything bagel was slightly salty but not too bothersome. The texture of the bagel was incredible, perfectly fluffy! I want to give a special mention to the system they have in place. Other bagel shops in NY can be quite overwhelming when going up to order, but I greatly appreciate all the signs they have. I did have a short wait on Sunday afternoon but Monday afternoon there was no wait at all. Staff was friendly and place has seating. I did notice there is an extensive food menu, but I was only interested in the bagels.

The American Grinder
Taylor H.

I've been wanting to try Knickerbocker for a while as I've heard so many amazing things! Ordered the loxury plain and the American grinder. The bagels here are good, your typical dense yeasty bagels. I always forget to ask for my bagels toasted so this review is based on a non-toasted bagel. Loxury plain - SO good, but wish there was more lox. Even though when I ate it the ratio of filling was satisfactory, a bit more lox would have been nice. I felt like sometimes I would just get mouthfuls of tomato, onion, and CC. American grinder - this was ok. The meat was not super seasoned so I feel like it was missing a bit of flavor which is disappointing because they PACK on the meat. Also wish they would put more dressing to make it less dry. Overall, would come back if I was in the area but wouldn't travel far for it.

Blueberry with blueberry cream cheese

Everything a New York City bagel should be. Fresh, fluffy, with a pleasant level of chew and shiny laminated exterior. Knickerbocker Bagel keeps the fresh bagels flowing all day long, and offers the best selection of schmears in town. Prices are low, and quality is high. I opted for an everything bagel with egg and vegetarian sausage, NYC deli style with American cheese, salt/pepper, and ketchup. Though I did not love the particular sausage they use, the sandwich was better than the sum of its parts. The blueberry bagel was not overly sweet, pairing perfectly with the blueberry cream cheese, which was packed with real blueberries and tasted of blueberry jam. They do not skimp on the schmear; it's more than you need, but certainly not more than you want. 10/10.

Some of their spreads
Brian S.

Good bagels. Big and fluffy. They do a high volume of bagels. Only good bagel place in this side of bushwick that makes their own bagels. Price can add up if you get lox etc. If you like the big round style of bagels then this is your jam. They have fresh squeezed OJ and seating inside. Also delivers.

I was in the area for a birthday party and wanted a quick bite to eat when I came across Hana Food…read more The grocery store has a great selection of snacks, drinks, and made-to-order sandwiches. I forgot the name of what I ordered, but it was a chicken cutlet sandwich with cheese, lettuce, mayo, bacon, red onions and avocado -- and it was so good! The portion size was generous, and $14 felt like a great value. I'll definitely stop by again next time I'm in the area.

Everyone on the night shift here is awful, but the sandwich guy is easily my least favorite deli…read moreguy in the city and it worsens with every visit. Half the time he's on a power trip and refuses to make basic shit, half the time he makes up absurd charges for nothing, and 100% of the time he's incredibly rude. Pretty sure he also drinks on the job. At this point I don't know why I bother stepping in here. Everything is over priced and the service at night is consistently awful. The daytime people are fine but the ambience after dark is even darker. Also, some of these sandwich names are so dated it's embarrassing, if not outright offensive. Kanye Interrupt? My Girlfriend Is A Whore? I'd feel humiliated just ordering these. In fact, at this point, I assume being rude and embarrassing customers is their big kink. They should clear the sandwich board and half the staff because this place gets more miserable every time I bother giving them a chance.

I'm not in this neighborhood often so I knew I had to go with their most popular sandwich, the…read moreFDNY. Like everyone else, I first saw these guys online reppin' the deli. I have many of my friends who moved down south so when they see I'm at a viral spot, I'm glad to tell them about my experience. Anthony & Son Panini Shoppe is a typical New York deli but a little more bougie with TVs playing the podcast on a loop. I liked the large menu board explaining all of the sandwiches. I'm going to order my sandwich and head back to Ft Hamilton. There are lots of great sandwich choices, it's my first time here so my order will be be the FDNY: A huge hero stuffed with fresh fried chicken cutlets, melted mozzarella and the famous vodka sauce on garlic bread. Total banger! I'm glad I ordered the sandwich, chicken cutlet parm is my go to sandwich. The next day, I see a video with Sabino making the FDNY with a guy from Italy. They stuffed the FDNY sandwich with pepperoni? The cashier at the register, I explained to her my order. Mr Anthony stepped up and I said, I saw the sandwich online? He said oh yeah, he instructs the deli man to make the sandwich with the extra ingredients. I take a picture and send it to my cousins husband in Myrtle Beach. He's going nuts because we were both drooling when they made it. Anthony & Son Panini Shoppe, thanks for the great sandwich the other day!

Large array of sandwiches and paninis using fresh and gourmet ingredients. Portions are decent but…read moreoverpriced imo - averaging $20 a sandwich. Recommend the anthony & son panini - chicken cutlet isn't dry, a good layer of fresh mozzarella with balsamic glaze and vegetables. Great proportions of ingredients and left you full. The cheesesteak was solid but not super standout.

This is the main reason why I get food from here every once in a blue moon, like when they offer the buy one get one free special. That's when I really take advantage. The unique seating area is charming, though limited, and don't get me wrong, the wraps that I've tried so far were delicious! They're just not $14 - $17 delicious lol. The staff here are friendly and seem cool. They make the wraps right in front of you and it's quite a cool process to watch. Each wrap is made from a homemade dough, heated on a hot iron dome and then filled with fresh and one of a kind ingredients. All of the wraps are rich with antioxidants and made with natural ingredients. My favorites: Dire Wolf (fried chicken wrapped in ginger dough, lamb bacon, melted cheddar, green papaya slaw, spicy pickled shika peppers, wolf ketchup) The Beast (grilled steak wrapped in turmeric dough, bbq crunch, blue cheese, marinated green olives, cilantro, red chili mayo) They have opened several locations over the years since I first tried them. Because of their unique wrap concept I can understand why. There's definitely a niche for them in this super tough NYC restaurant business.
