    Nice people but they have no clue how to run a business. The potatoes were very undercooked cooked. The eggs over cooked. i ordered bacon. they forgot it. people weee coming in and out complaining about getting the wrong order or not getting their bagels with their order. horrible.

    We took a quick stop here and were pleasantly surprised in this little shop right in a small town. The food was amazing! My sandwich pictured was soo good! Super cute place with great food. The service was quick and the women working was really sweet.

    Oh my!!! Mr. J's is a splendid find. If you're passing near Elkton on your way anywhere, please stop here and grab some of their AMAZING bagels!! So many varieties, so soft and so much flavor!! Their bagels go with everything, breakfast sandwiches , all types of lunch sandwich staples, But you have to leave some room for the dessert bagel bites! Especially the French Toast bagel with cream cheese frosting! Oh my - it's like a little taste of heaven! Our cook, Mike, really delivered. I would leave a picture of our food, but I couldn't quit eating! Cannot recommend this place enough!'

    Mr. J's is known for having the best bagels in the Valley and the Elkton Express location has those PLUS great breakfast sandwiches and pastries. Food is always made quick and served hot. The restaurant is clean, cheerful, and a great place to grab a quick meal. The ladies that work there are always helpful and kind.

    If you're looking for a place to stop for a quick breakfast, look no further! I stopped here with my family on the way out from Massanutten and was pleasantly surprised by the wide variety of menu options and the welcoming atmosphere. The ladies at the counter were so sweet and helpful when taking our order. Everyone was very happy with the food they got and my mom was raving about the coffee. The prices are pretty good too. Overall, I would definitely recommend this place!

    View from our high top table. Picturesque and cute place.

    Bagels were super fresh and everything cooked to order. Small spot but service was friendly and had a hometown atmosphere.

    Serving American classics with high quality and great hospitality…read more Sandwiched between two floors of antique malls, Jack's was the perfect stop in the day to get some no-frills nourishment. Their breakfast is incredibly generous and made with ingredients that were fresh, clean, and meticulous in detail. The design of their menu is just so promising with unique twists that are not unheard of, but just an elevated touch when it comes to American diner food as a whole. Things like truffle infused hollandaise, fried green tomato BLT, pairing balsamic with goat cheese, a blackened pork, even mushrooms on the breakfast menu all hint that people developing their menu are confident in their skills in offering something more when it comes to breakfast plates and sandwiches. Their homemade aiolis (highly recommend their pesto aioli) and hot sauce tie any dish together-- breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Things made to this quality are not to be unremarked. Came in with friends so we can try everything on their menu, and we were pleasantly surprised on all fronts. Presentation, ingredients, preparation all elements that made our meals great and were evident across all dishes ranging from protein to carb. Details like toasted bread with already spread with butter, perfectly poached eggs, and brioche as the bun of choice were things we peeped. We would have left satisfied if these details weren't accounted for, but we were so impressed this became a revisit during our short vacation. Their space is greatly spacious, with an open drinks station so its just not pretentious. There is even a section in the front to pick up goods made by local artisans. This is a great place to dine in, no notes.

    Eclectic energy! We…read morewere steered here for lunch, based on its Yelp reviews. Thank you, again, Yelp. The waitstaff was more than pleasant, they were fun. I think it was because they enjoyed working there. Or, at least it give them a chance to eat some really tasty food. I had their Cubano Tartine. That's kind of like an omelet with the ingredients of a Cubano sandwich, except for the roll, mixed in. (And yes, I get that the cooking process is a bit different.) ' Anyway, this Cubano Tartine shows up on a plate in front of me. I dig in and keep digging. The ingredients, ham, cheese, pickles, etc, were plentiful and delicious. They were sitting on an ample slice of their sourdough bread. That was the first issue. It was IMPOSSIBLE to cut. I guess I could have asked for a steak knife or maybe a power tool. But, there was so much other stuff that I was able to have a very filling meal without it. The other issue was that the lightly dressed side salad was doused in dressing. Again, didn't complain because, for me, it wasn't a problem during this visit. Issues aside, if I come back to Hagerstown, I'll look for an excuse to come back.

Simply put, the bodega breakfast sandwich might be the best breakfast sandwich I've ever eaten. I took it to eat on the road and was startled about how delicious it was. The freshly baked (you can tell) brioche bun with everything bagel seasoning on top added a great salty taste to go along with the tasty stuff inside. I've traveled all over the country for work for 20+ years, and like I said, this might be the best breakfast sandwich I've ever had! To top it off, the staff was super nice.

Bursting with flavor, toasty crisp but with nice chew - best bagel ever esp for small town VA. Hubs liked BEC bagel too. Only negatives, the portions are bit off - too much everything bagel seasoning and too many onions in the veggie bagel sandwich. Really wish they would expand to permanent spot in New Market.

    Great place for an early morning breakfast while traveling. Close and convenient to I-81…read more I make this trip several times a year and usually stop at the Panera across the street. The last couple times I've been hitting the road at 3:30 a.m. to avoid DC and getting to Harrisonburg by 6:15. The Panera doesn't open till 7:00 a.m. here but then I spotted this place and noticed it was open and decided to take my break here. Nice assortment of bagels, breakfast sandwiches and breakfast plates. I got a Sausage, egg and cheese on a toasted everything bagel. My sandwich was delicious, the bagel had just about the perfect chewy texture you would expect from a NY style bagel. Counter service was quick, but remember I was her at 6:30 am so I don't know how fast they are during a rush. The coffee bar, dining room and tables were clean. Two anyone bathrooms; the one I used was clean and well stocked. Definitely stopping here again while traveling.
