Bagels are simple yet delicious bread creations that have become a staple in breakfast and brunch menus around the world. At first glance, they might seem like just another type of bread, but these doughy delights are so much more than that. At its core, it is a type of bread that is circular in shape with a hole in the middle and has roots in Jewish cuisine. Situated on a busy N. Midland Avenue in Saddle Brook, Midland Bagels & Grill is a popular local bakery known for its bagels, breakfast sandwiches, and other grill items like gyros and sliders. Upon entering this cozy establishment as a first-timer, I was greeted by the staff with 3 tables and a window ledge table for standing. I decided on a whole wheat bagel with a smear of cream cheese for takeout. The bagel with the outer crunch but soft on the inside was still warm when I got home. The flavor, texture, and consistency were perfect. The price was a bit on the pricey side but would not deter me from returning back. The staff were pleasant and extremely efficient. It's a solid bagel spot! read more

Really great. Terrific service. Classic bagel shop vibe. They get you in and out and HAPPY. Order online if you wish. They even have temp controlled lockers for you to pick it up. Fantastic bagels. Very very very reasonable pricing. A must go. Parking is a little tricky in a small lot. Side streets and a quick walk will be helpful during busy times. read more

If you love an everything bagel as much as I do, you must visit this local gem of a small business. Midland Bagels is our familys number one bagel shop in all of Bergen County. I love their generously covered everything bagel, top AND bottom included. It's so large I usually take it home whole, then sliced into halves. One half then sliced into thirds for an epic breakfast sandwich! Crunchy on the outside and fluffy on the inside! Don't miss out on the rest of their delicious offerings including classic egg sandwiches like BEC, sandwiches filled with an assortment of deli items. Fast and friendly staff completes your visit. Even though parking can be challenging it's totally worth it! Best $1.50 bagel ever! Don't miss out on this local gem that's more of a Bergen County historical treasure! read more

I was so disappointed this summer. I was in New Jersey and I had been waiting to have my customary bagel and it turns out the business was on vacation and I went to get my bagel in the morning and they were closed! So this time I was very excited that they were open and I got my favorite toasted sesame bagel with lox cream cheese spread. Their lox spread is so good. It makes my eyes roll to the back of my head and there is nothing like a North Jersey/New York bagel. There is just no comparison here in PA that I have found. This place also has great iced coffee. You just order the cup size you want and they fill your cup with ice and hand you the cup and then you go to the iced coffee dispenser and fill up your cup and they have four different types of syrup you can put in along with skim milk, 2% and cream. Their coffee is very smooth and not bitter at all. They make bagel breakfast sandwiches and you can of course get the local Taylor pork roll sandwich too. I noticed that this time they now have touchscreens for credit card orders. But you can still order from a cashier because if you pay cash, you don't have to pay a 3% credit card charge. The parking lot out front is very small, but if you turn into Kenny Place where the Crowne Plaza hotel is, you can actually park behind the bagel place and then just walk around the front. They get quite busy but they are quite efficient in their service. And I enjoyed my bagel eating it bite bite bite on my long six hour journey home. read more

They have completely changed everything. Looks like they are trying to cater to uber eats and DoorDash instead of customers. They have removed many breakfast items from the original menu. Being gluten free, I asked them to make me an order of eggs and they said they could not do that even though they are making eggs for bagels? They were not willing to work with a customer and said they had no options for me. This was not during a time where they were flooded with customers. No one else was there and all the employees were standing around. Also they still have plastic in front of them so it's hard to hear even in an empty setting. I thought Covid was over. Overall, it has gone downhill over the years. Sad to see. This place used to be good. read more

Bagels smaller than normal. Paper stuck to take out sandwich order. disappointed in this order

Quality food, fast at a fair price. Recommend if you're looking for a quick breakfast place.

Bagel was fresh and so tasty. Eggs cooked to perfection and cheese melted enough to bring everything together. Service was fast and ambiance was homey. Will def come back! read more

What just happened is a shame. This place has really good bagels and I have been coming here for about 7 years. Never had an issue. But, I always bought a loaded bagel, coffee, etc. I have been on a low fat, low carb diet for a while now in order to lose some extra pounds. And, being successful I thought to spoil myself with a bagel. When I got there I asked for a garlic bagel, scooped and toasted. The young lady behind the counter had to ask, "Are we allowed to do that?" I was quite surprised that she had to ask permission to toast a bagel. It became apparent, after speaking with either the owner or the manager, that they would NOT accommodate my request. I can only assume it was because I was not getting a topping on my bagel. Every other time I have been there getting my bagel scooped and toasted was not a problem at all when I was buying more than just a bagel. Maybe it was the enormous extra effort, cost and time it would take to toast the bagel. I don't know and don't care. It was not a lot to ask. Maybe the "boss" was in fear of the thousands of people who might flock in and want only a toasted bagel without topping which would certainly ruin his business. Again, I don't know. Having been in the Restaurant business for the past 50 years tells me that this place knows nothing about hospitality service. Again, it's a shame but I will never go there again and will tell everyone I know (and I know hundreds in this area) not to spend their money there. Sorry. read more

Midland Bagels & Grill - Garlic bagel with cream cheese - Salad Near Me - Saddle Brook, New Jersey

Visited Midland Bagels as it was located adjacent to our hotel. I am not a big fan of bagels, but my everything bagel with two eggs, sausage, and cheese was tasty. I only ate half of it though because it was Thanksgiving and I didn't want to ruin my appetite. The service is top notch. These people bend over backwards to get your order taken and to make your order fast. They pumped through a line of customers in no time. And the orders were correct. The bagel was hot and fresh and if bagels are your thing, I'd definitely recommend this establishment. Fast service! read more

Stopped by Midland Bagel for a quick bite while in Jersey. I couldn't miss the place ... there was a line out the door! When that's the first thing I see, I'm thinking, 'this is a place I gotta try'. Parking up front was all taken and the side street was also out of the question so I parked in a lot in the back. Now let's get to the good part .. the food. I ordered a sausage, egg and cheese on a roll and my son ordered a garlic bagel with scallion cream cheese. I throughly enjoyed my sausage, egg and cheese. I was quite happy (not gonna lie) when I saw that Midland wasn't cheap with the sausage as they put 2 sausage pattys in the breakfast sandwich. My son's only complaint was that there wasn't enough scallion cream cheese in the bagel ... but I'm not going to take a star away knowing that the amount of cream cheese given was enough for a regular person, not a growing 14 year old who loves scallion cream cheese. Would I come back? Absolutely!! Wishing Midland Bagels and Grill continued success!!! read more

My boyfriend and I have been eyeing this spot since we moved to the area almost 2 years ago and finally made our way over. Our order included a Toasted Sesame Bagel with Scallion Cream Cheese, a Plain Bagel with Cinnamon Raisin Cream Cheese, and a Bacon, Egg, and Cheese on a Croissant. I had the Bacon, Egg, and Cheese on a Croissant and I personally loved it. The eggs weren't too runny or too overcooked and the bacon was crunchy. Pretty straightforward. 1000x better than a Dunkin or Starbucks sandwich. I love how you can order online and pick up your order in a device that keeps the orders warm. I'll update my review when I try that! The only downside is that parking is a bit tricky. We saw a bunch of people park on the side street and that seems like the way to go if you don't want to deal with the exiting on the main road. We will be back! read more

Came before noon and picked up some bacon egg and cheese bagel sandwiches and two plain bagels and honey walnut cream cheese to go. The breakfast bagels were great, really flavorful and good portions/ratio. The honey walnut cream cheese for the plain bagel was ok imo, could've been a tad sweeter in taste but still pretty good. Will def be back again! read more

Now I hate cheating on The Bagel House in Kearny but we were in the area and my boyfriend drools every time he thinks about Midland Bagels. This is his favorite breakfast spot. We'll just have to learn to live with our differences! Lol. I'll admit, their bagels themselves are delicious. They're fluffy but dense and huge, all signs of great bagels. Where mine fell short was the veggie cream cheese. I love a tangy delicious cream cheese chock filled with tiny minced veggies. This one was just lacking, so skip it. A plain cream cheese will still be great on their delicious bagels. We also got a tuna wrap, it was fresh and tasty. My boyfriend got a Taylor ham egg and cheese bagel and it looked great too. He was in his glory. We also splurged and got some chili cheese fries. These were great, how can you go wrong with cheesy chili fries? Yum. Give them a chance if you're in the area. Best to call and pick up. read more

So incredibly disappointed when I came in this morning to splurge on a birthday breakfast but the girl was very insistent that they will not make runny eggs or even lightly fry them. I've never had this issue there and I didn't even bother getting anything. read more

Midland Bagels & Grill - Taylor, egg and cheese on a toasted everything bagel - Salad Near Me - Saddle Brook, New Jersey

Great place. Fresh hot New York style bagels. One of the best breakfast sandwiches I've ever had. Clean shop. Very quick and professional staff. Food is prepared as you order it and is served quickly. My only reservation is that they do not have restrooms, or tables and chairs. It does seem that most of their clientele orders food to go. So, maybe they don't need that stuff. Check it out if you're in the area and you're in a rush and you want good food. read more

So I try to go to different bagel Places. I think this was one of the best in NJ. I got the lox sandwich with scallion cream cheese on a toasted sesame. I usually don't toast my bagels, and I didn't ask for it toasted, but it was a pleasant accident. The toast makes the sesame seeds pop. read more

I'll start this review by saying this place has the best bagels in the area. If you're looking for a dozen bagels and cream cheese, this is your spot. However, the inconsistency with orders is driving me away from this place. The past 3 times we've gone, there has been an issue with our orders if we get sandwiches or multiple different bagels. These are my last 3 experiences here. 1. Ordered a bacon egg and cheese on an everything and an egg and cheese on an everything for my wife who's a vegetarian. (We liked this place because we know they use a separate grill for just eggs). With that said, there were bits of bacon in her egg sand which when we ordered these two simple sandwiches. 2. We got half a dozen bagels, an egg sandwich and a bagel with scallion cream cheese. Got all the way home to notice they did not put the bagel with cream cheese in the bag. 3. We went today to get 2 egg sandwiches, one bacon egg and cheese with extra Taylor ham (a $9.15) sandwich and an egg and cheese. Get all the way home to see there is no bacon on the sandwich despite being charged for the extra meat, and even with the wrapper of the bagel saying (bacon). (See pictures below) Honestly I'm tired of driving back there twice just to have my order corrected. If you really want a sandwich or have multiple orders I HIGHLY recommend double checking your order in the parking lot before you drive away. To top it off, if you call the store there's nobody to speak to as it just redirects you to their website to place and order. So unfortunately I had to come here to leave a review. read more

1/15 8:20am. I was the only customer in the shop and placed an order for an everything bagel with cream cheese. The girl at the counter took my order as if she was doing me a favor. She tried to hand me the receipt and I told her it was okay and I didn't need it. She blankly said "your order number is on it" and I didn't hear her and told her it's okay and she rudely said it again with an attitude. Bagel with cream cheese is almost $5.00. I don't mind paying it but I really don't appreciate her attitude. My coworkers and I all work a few blocks away and everyone I work with all says the same thing- decent food but not worth the rude girl that works there in the morning. Thanks but we'll all be taking our business elsewhere from now on. read more

I used to go Midland Bagels twice a week. One is any day of the week I felt like stopping and every Sunday for the family bagels, breakfast sandwiches, corn muffin, croissants all is always good. The problem is the workers behind counter rude, obnoxious, not friendly at all always with attitude if you take while to decide etc etc etc. It's a shame because now I take my business else where and the funniest thing about it is that I recognize customers that used to go to Midland Bagels and when I ask them they all say the same thing They left because of the counter. read more

Grabbed 2 sandwiches to go on a Sunday morning. Place was packed, but the wait wasn't bad at all. Was disappointed they didn't have Egg bagels, but the Sesame I got was very good. Nice crisp bite on the outside, good chew inside. My wife said her everything was well, EVERYTHING. Pretty sure that's a good thing. Turkey bacon was good quality, thicker cut. Eggs and potatoes both well done. They had a dance DoorDash /pickup machine to help keep the lines down. If I could give a 4.5 I would. read more

Best breakfast sandwich by my office! Possibly everywhere. Better than Manhattan Bagel, Bagels Base, and Dunkin Donuts. Even better than Bagels on the Hudson in Hoboken. Got the hungry man sandwich with cheese. It's got eggs, roast beef, home fries, and cheese! And it smelled so good! I suspect the potatoes were cooked in butter. I could barely resist them on my drive back. Also picked up an order of chili cheese fries. They were good too. They use shredded cheddar and their own chili. The chili was thick and meaty with plenty of beans, just the way i like it. They also have something called boomboom sauce on the back counter. It tastes like relish, hot sauce, and mayo. I like it. The shop is a lot bigger than the pictures show. It actually has seating for a little over 10 people inside, and a bathroom. Definitely coming back. read more

But The burger was cold...the fries were hot thank goodness, something was hot...cold ( room temp) burger tells me it was precooked....I saw alot of flames on the charcoal grill...what would it have taken to put the burger on the grill for a minute..and rewarm it..I've been there quite a few times ...I don't get it... read more
