Having "NY Bagel" is literally, sacrilegious to those of us that know WHAT a true "NY Bagel" is. Their name hold true to form, what a NY Bagel is. I initially wanted Bagels & Lox, but changed my mind when I saw what I was also craving... PASTRAMI. I got "The DON," pastrami piled high (NOT "Katz" high, but a Chesapeake high, with Cold Slaw and a pickle. When I tell you delicious!! The WATER's PH balance is the same as NY, making the bagel, an authentic "NY Bagel." The Cold Slaw... my god today... I haven't had slaw like this since I left NYC!! Ambiance, basic, not very reminiscent of NYC, BUT, every menu item is named after an area in NY. So pleased. I'll be back!!!

I know bacon, sausage, ham, (and Taylor Ham if you're from Jersey like me) are the standard breakfast sandwich meats, but try the pastrami! Poppy bagel, 2 eggs included, cheese, and some pastrami brings back my east coast state of mind. The midtown sandwich is also a great option. I know a lot of Southerners don't care for the greatness of a bagel, they prefer their biscuits and that's all well and good. But wow, NYBC does a wonderful job of representing the area where I grew up.

We met the owner John and he was so kind to offer the first paying customers a year purchase of bagels.

It was hot and ready when I got my order. The bagel was so fresh and toasted just right. Next time I am looking forward to trying either the Lox or Carnegie Sandwich.

Needless to say the food was so good, pics proved to have zero chance. Sooo after a rough week, a Saturday late morning breakfast was calling for a much needed downtime to sit and enjoy... and well here we go: Some say happiness in a bottle, I say Happiness in a glass! Their iced praline mocha is soooo good! The right balance of mocha and coffee, not overly sweet but enough to give you a pick me up while enjoying their amazing food! Next time must try their lavender latte or pistachio... but gotta get it before 5/31 as it's available for a limited time! Definitely recommend the brekki bowl with cheese grits and fried chicken! You will not be disappointed. Cheese grits like "buhhhttah" without the oily and maybe the calories?! But honestly, so flavorful and creamy without the guilty feeling for having something that tastes so good. The veggies are fresh and perfectly cooked to give you great texture contrast. And let me tell you about their fried chicken!! Chefs kiss! Moist, flavorful lightly breaded chicken fried to perfection that had a slight kick for this girl. In full disclosure black pepper is spicy for me so take that with a grain of salt. And for those of you like me that believe there is never too much salt and add salt to your salt but need to cut that bad habit... this whole dish is the perfect amount of salt. I literally never had to add just a little more. The goat cheese crumbles gave each bite the little extra tah-dah pop that might have been otherwise gotten had you like me added a few more shakes of salt to the dish. Seriously though, if you are watching to slowly cut back on having to add salt to your food, this dish is for you! The service was great and everyone was friendly and hustling! This place is the best for a quick sit down or a group brunch. I saw a table of like 10 menly bros enjoying a huge selection of food, drinks, and catching up. Really awesome to see that as the next few tables were a mix of families with and without kids, in laws, aunts and uncles just coming together for amazing food, great and accurate service, and overall fantastic experience ina random Saturday morning!

Can't wait to go back and try other items!

The bagel was soft and easy to bite into but was also toasted. It was perfect. They did not go easy on the avocado and I loved that!! I would definitely order this again. I tried their new caramel iced coffee with almond milk. It is the perfect amount of sweetness. You can taste the coffee but the taste isn't super strong. The workers walked to me to give me my food and drink. That was so sweet. I never had anyone do this. This location is very fast paced, you get in and out. You can eat inside as well. I will definitely be back to try their lunch menu.

I enjoyed my caramel iced coffee. It was sweeter than I normally make it but refreshing nonetheless. The vanilla one wasn't my friend's cup of tea and I thought it was so nice the manager/owner, not sure, gave her a soda for free when he realized that. Pleasantly surprised her for sure. Everyone works hard there and they are always so friendly and engaging. My go-to place for bagels now, by far! In the area? Check Them Out!

A good hearty breakfast !…read more We stayed in the Waterside District and were sad to see that location closed so we tried this one. This location feels more like a diner than a restaurant like Waterside. I created my own omelette with pepper jack cheese, turkey sausage and spinach (up charge). I overloaded on carbs with sides: a fluffy biscuit and well-seasoned hash browns. I realized I dove right into eating and forgot to take a picture!

It's been some time since I've visited D'egg on Hampton Blvd. I just attended Sunday Mass and was…read morefeeling some breakfast, so I decided to take the trip. D'egg is one of the area's simple diners. They're open for breakfast and lunch (7:30a-2:30p daily) and they offer typical American breakfast/brunch items. What set them apart (for me, at least) was that their employees were always kind, nice and helpful. Customer service really goes a long way. When I arrived, it wasn't super busy, but there were enough occupied tables to convince me to sit at the bar. The server who helped me was just as kind, nice and helpful as every employee I've encountered during previous visits, so I was happy to see that aspect hasn't changed. I noticed they changed from Pepsi to Coke products. It was recent, too, because some of the Coke items weren't available that day. Not a big deal, but the switch is worth mentioning for those hardcore Pepsi fans. Btw, this D'egg location looked clean and organized. I took a few minutes to order, and my server offered to answer any questions I had. I ordered an item I haven't eaten in a long time - country fried steak. My entree was out in no time and mine came with scrambled eggs (you can choose how you want your eggs), tots and wheat toast. They gave me a lot of gravy - regardless, I devoured my dish. Soon afterwards, I paid and was out the door. So if you're in a rush, this D'egg location might be the spot. I've always enjoyed my visits to D'egg, and my most recent visit provided more of the same. I feel D'egg is consistently good and I admire the friendly service the provide. Thank you, D'egg! JV

You can place an order in-person using the kiosk or online. My biscuit looked like the dough was twisted during the cutting so it never rose properly during the baking. It was hard, dry, and stale tasting too. The chicken was ok but rather bland and underwhelming. The tater tots were ok. Fresh but under seasoned and bland too. Unless I'm in the area and nothing else is available, I wouldn't be going out of my way to revisit.
