I got a breakfast bagel sandwich and the bagel was so chewy I had to yank if from my mouth and nearly dislodged my expensive orthodontia. Seemed to be microwaved from the freezer. And the eggs, come on, frozen egg patties? At these prices. McDonalds uses fresh cracked eggs for their egg McMuffins. Tasteless. I only stomached half and forced it down. This place is supposed to be a high end cafe and serves Dunkin' egg patties. Act like one.

I was being patient as it was very busy. After 40 minutes I inquired about it. It magically appeared from the kitchen. It had already been made but no one brought it out from the food prep area to the take out counter. Even after this experience....I wanted to go back, the hoagie was that good. Second Visit....A nasty older man in a fluorescent shirt had words with me for going in the "wrong" (????) side of the front double door. He actually told me to walk out of the empty store, that I had already entered, and walk back in via the other side of the double door!!!!! WTF!!!!!! He denied being an employee but another employee confirmed that he does indeed work at Boyers. This time the store was empty. I placed an order. 30 minutes later I inquired about my order. It still had not been made! This hoagie was nothing like the first. The entire sandwich had 2 slices of tomato, a few strings of onion and wilted lettuce. The lack of management, consistency and zero employee training is evident. You may get bullied over made up bull shit by an ASS HOLE psycho old man employed by Boyars. Your order is of no importance to the employees. They look half asleep. The food may or may not be good......there is no quality control. The employees do not give one SHIT about doing their jobs. Boyars....NOT WORTH THE AGGRAVATION!!!!!

Each car was waiting a LONG time in line at the window. At least 7-10 minutes each. At first I thought this was because there was only one worker taking the orders, making the drinks, and handing them out, but I saw at least three or four other workers who weren't doing anything (or at least didn't seem like it). My Mom ordered two sausage egg and cheese croissants. When we open the sandwiches, there is one sandwich with two eggs on it, and another sandwich with two sausage patties on it......... My cousin wanted a cup filled with ice so that she could make her Coke extra cold and they accommodated that which I was happy about. I got a medium caramel mocha iced coffee with cream and equal and I thought it tasted good. I also ordered a turkey sausage egg and cheese wrap and it was good/thicker than what I'm used to, but the wrap seemed really bent out of shape, not covering the entire sandwich.

To start, menus were hidden by the register, and they prompted us to use the kiosk (which ended up being difficult to figure out) even though there was no one in line and only one other person waiting for their order. Ordered a burger, three bagels, a muffin, and a pistachio cake. Some of the items either had minimal flavor, or a bad aftertaste. I was particularly disappointed by the home fries because how do you mess those up? Well, I guess I found out how. Price was truly outrageous for quality of food.

All star service! The variety of bagels was alright. They have your standard selection but can't beat the variety offered at hot bagels. Like I said though, the shop is small. The cream cheese variety was nice. There were at least 8 options. As for the actual bagel? I had the egg everything. Size was generous! The texture fell a bit short though. It honestly struck me as being a day old bagel perhaps. Did not have that fresh chewiness on the crust and soft inside. Probably a bagel that was ready for the toaster. The cream cheese however was really good! I loved the chive! And it was spread amply to perfection. I prefer hot bagels but I'll give it another go!
