Staff is really friendly here and they will let you sample the spreads and salads (was greatly appreciated). Because it helped me make a decision for whether the best cream cheeses I've ever had..... caviar I added tomato and onion for a little dazzle dazzle, with some house branded seltzer... lunch was delicious. I think this would make a great substitute for mayo on many sandwiches. read more

Dawg this sh*t was TRASH. I sampled the horseradish cream cheese, the goat cream cheese, caviar cream cheese and the lox cream cheese. They were all tasty. I ordered a daughter's bagel with half caviar half wasabi cream cheese. I got it on a toasted sesame bagel and that ish was stale AF. The bagels must have been from the day before at least bc even with toasting nothing could have saved them. I also ordered a potato latke and a herring with onion and capers both of which were pretty decent. I will say I think you have to already like herring or be an alley cat. Ordering this much fish for me I'm pretty salted out. They are having work done today up front with huge ladders up the front of the store. Bought one of those super adorable chubs baby onesies as a souvenir. I'm honestly so disappointed with my experience today because I also came to the same navy yard location back in November and it was a ten outta ten experience and taste. I believe back then I had ordered the classic style of bagel sandwich and it blew my mind. Today it just blew. Womp womp. On the bright side the workers here are super nice. Maybe if I had picked a fresher bagel I'd be singing a different tune. read more

I can't wait until the point of sale systems with the automatic tip option go away. These Bagels are already super expensive so I would expect the employees are taken care of and not relying on my tips. You know how some bagel shops put so much cream cheese on your bagel you think they used a caulking gun? Yeah- they don't do that here. Your bagel is expertly assembled, it's very good, but they are charging dumbo time out market tourist trap prices. It's still a bagel. You have other options. read more

Revisited Russ and Daughters and had to give it a better score. The service and quality of ingredients is unmatched. I got the egg everything bagel with Lox and Caviar crème cheese. He lightly toasted the bagel and assembled every ingredient to perfection. The caviar crème cheese was no extra charge and wasn't too overwhelming so was pleasantly surprised! read more

My last order included filleted whitefish, chopped liver, herring with plain sauce, and onions, and bialys. Everything was delicious.

Decided to pop into Russ&Daughters for a quick breakfast before work. Been here a couple times and the food is pretty consistent. I find that the staff is pretty lax and laid back. Not quite sure if this is good or bad. Unfortunately, I saw one staff member scratching his head and resting his head under his shirt. The place is clean and tidy. I would try again read more

A more pricey lox bagel spot but it was very tasty so I would say it's worth to try it. I got the lox bagel and added capers, tomato and onion. $17 for the lox plus $1.5 for the extras plus taxes so you can do the math but over $20 for one bagel it seems a bit much. Line was long but it went by quick. There are some picnic tables outside of the navy yard so it was nice to enjoy it in the sun! read more

While this Russ and Daughters may be a little bit of a trek to the middle nowhere Brooklyn, there really isn't much of anything else around this location, this Russ and Daughter affords a much better customer experience. The staff are always so friendly and accommodating, the food is the same quality and fresh. The kitchen is seen through the huge windows even though to be honest I've never really seen it in action as most times I've gone on weekends, it's generally empty. Another added benefit here is indoor seating as well as outdoor onsite in the building. My favorites are the Chopped Liver (yes, chopped liver is great and I like Chopped Liver), Latkes and Matzah Ball soup that I always grab to get me back on track when I'm under the weather. Their Matzah Ball soup is a must when you are sick! read more

I've never been to the other Russ locations to compare the experience, but I've been to the Brooklyn location many times and service is always fast with never more than a line of a couple people. It's cool to watch their workers make the baked goods on site behind a glass wall. Onto the food: Classic bagel and lox sandwich is consistently the best in the neighborhood. You can tell their lox are quality. The downside is that it is a whopping $17 and then another 50¢ each for onions and capers. Lately I've been getting it on an everything bagel, but the everything bagels tend to be oversalted here, so between that and the salt from the capers it is too much for me. I'll switch it up to an onion bagel next time. I've only gotten their Challah once because it was disappointing. I knew when I cut into it at home that it was way too dense and not fluffy, which is how challah should be. it either wasn't fresh or just not a good recipe to begin with. Wegmans down the street makes a better one. They make up for the lackluster challah with latkes that are 100% done right! These latkes are made with grated potatoes as they should be. (No blended, mashed potato bogus filling) It was good enough to eat straight without sour cream or apple sauce. Shout out to their veggie cream cheese that is really good on any savory bagel flavor. I highly recommend it if you like veggie cream cheese. Black and white cookie- had it once and that was it. Their use of lemon zest creates a strong lemon flavor that does not belong in a black and white cookie, in my opinion. read more

I made a DoorDash order, which took almost 2 hours. Luckily, I had the patience for it. I ordered the classic Bagel & Lox ($18) with gaspe nova, tomatoes, onions, and scallion cream cheese on an everything bagel. The bagel was good, but nothing too special. I have had bigger bagels in NY for the same price with more filling. Overall, pricey breakfast for a lox bagel. It didn't taste any more special than if I made this at home myself. read more

Took the ferry for the nice skyline views and ended here in Brooklyn. In New York, a bagel doesn't count as a full meal and its a standard to start your day so naturally we went to Russ & Daughters. Price is higher, but seems like they use quality ingredients and spruce up a standard lox with caviar or ikura. One was the Super Heebster with whitefish and baked salmon with horseradish dill cream and wasabi flying fish roe. Definitely elevated, on the saltier side, but I enjoyed it all! Toasting of the bagel so the fried garlic aroma fills the air is top notch. This location has lots of space to order/wait for your order. Came early in the AM, was not busy and staff was friendly to answer questions, and they were kind enough to cut them into pieces for us -- a much cleaner job than we would have done! read more

Was it good?: Yes Would I ever wanna pay 45$ again for the two bagels with fish inside?: No bc they were skimping and I wasn't extremely impressed by the filling and the lox, caper, onion, and tomato was an extra $1.5. I barely got any cream cheese either. But it was nice to try it out! The bagels themselves are good deals, only 2$ each. It was nice to look at the factory where they make the bagels too. read more

The lox and whitefish salad here are great, but I'm writing here today to tell you about the babka ice cream sandwich. I would've walked away with just a goat milk cream cheese bagel (yes they have that here!) in hand were it not for a sign proudly advertising their chocolate babka ice cream sandwich. The person behind the counter proclaimed it "better than you expect" and I expected it to be pretty darn good. I'm a fan of all Jewish pastries, from rugelach to sufganiyot, but noshing on a chocolate babka tops the rest. Sandwich some ice cream between two slices of those bad boys and you have yourself a winning combination. They keep these things very, very frozen, so you'll want to tote it around in the summer heat for a little while if you want to avoid chomping down on a frozen brick. Once you get it at a goldilocks temperature though this ice cream sandwich is *chef's kiss*. Think of the ideal french toast bread-- buttery, airy, soft, and with a touch of sweetness-- combined with the smooth creamy cold texture of ice cream. Perfection. This Russ & Daughter's location is inside the food vendor section of the Brooklyn Navy Yard, and the pickings are slim inside this "food hall," particularly now during the pandemic when most folks haven't returned to the office and so the few vendors in the building don't have a reason to reopen right now. But now you can take advantage of the lack of crowds, and get yourself an ice cream sandwich and a bagel to go without a long wait. Year round this meal will nourish the soul. read more

Great salmon, same quality as their lower east side location. Their customer service leaves a lot to be desired however.

Very mixed experience with seriously questionable, stressful customer service. After the sudden death of a dear friend, I wanted to bring a platter to a shiva call. I read the website and it seemed I needed to call in order to order catering (and that shiva calls were exempted from the 3 day lead time - I was in fact calling with 5 days' notice, so even though it was the holiday, I assumed it would be fine). I called, and Rebecca, the catering manager fibbed and said I could just order catering online. I spent 20 minutes looking and couldn't for the life of me find where to order catering through the online system. I called back, reached someone else and was told that the ONLY option was to order online because due to covid, they would not be able to provide any catering. I begged, I pleaded. A vague sense of sympathy but decidedly unmoveable. So, I went ahead and placed the order and went out and purchased platters to prepare it further myself. Then, 2 days before the delivery, I received a call from Rebecca, who said my order date would no longer work and I had to call back to rearrange, not leaving a number or extension. Their phone system was changed to remove the option to reach someone for ordering so I spent 15 stressful minutes pressing numbers at random trying to find a way to get through to someone in the store, thanks to Rebecca's careless disregard and lack of effort to make things right. When I finally reached her, she was SO RUDE. Couldn't care less. I explained that I don't have a car and was planning on picking up the food on my way to the shiva call and now would have to take an additional 2 hours to get to the Navy Yard on New Year's Day to pick up the order. She was awful. Wouldn't waive the delivery fee. Then, she entered the date in wrong and set the order up to be delivered on the 31st at a time when I wasn't even home. Again, frantic calls, and finally, got through to someone else, who fixed the delivery and admitted this whole fiasco was exactly that. A total lack of care from start to finish. Guess what? Their fish is great, so that's the only reason this isn't getting a 1 star review. It makes me mad to admit it, but I will because that's what most people care about. Their rugelach was good, not great. I couldn't order bagels since they wouldn't be fresh. But no platters, no extra stuff to have with the fish, and the WORST CUSTOMER SERVICE I have experiences in a very long while. Covid or not, treat me like a human being. They didn't. Rebecca didn't. I hope someone at the location will actually read the review since she made very clear that complaining would do nothing since there was noone else to ask for help. I certainly will never rely on them in the future for any catering. read more

The place is located in a large food hall and office building. I was pretty pumped to try it since they are so known. When walking in they have windows for their kitchen so you can see how everything is made which is pretty cool. I ordered a everything bagel with pastrami cured salmon, tomato, and scallion cream cheese. The bagel was soft and fresh, not as flavorful as I wanted but still good. For nearly 18 dollars I expect a bigger sandwich. I was pretty disappointed by the portion size. Overall it was a good sandwich but I'd definitely wouldn't waste my time coming back. There is plenty of other options in Brooklyn that are much better and definitely cheaper. read more

Very underwhelming experience especially since the locations in Manhattan are well known. The portions were tiny. Usually, when I get any sort of LOX/bagel sandwich at a bagel place in NY I can only eat half of it because the portions are huge. At Russ & Daughters, I could finish the whole bagel because they skimp on everything. I've never been to a place where they charge EXTRA for onions, capers, and tomatoes (50 cents each) on a lox bagel... So you're paying $16 for a bagel, cream cheese, and a thin slice of salmon. I know its NY and everything is overpriced but there are plenty of other establishments worth your money. On top of the sad portions, the lady helping my friend and I wasn't very friendly and that just made this mediocre visit even worse. Maybe the Manhattan locations are better (but always with a wait because of tourists), but I don't feel the need to visit them with all the other bagel places in NYC. read more

Russ & Daughters have some of my favorite classic bagel & lox spreads. They are an institution of the city, and this newly opened location in the Navy Yard is great for those of us in Brooklyn and those of us who prefer not to wait 2 hours for their bagels on the LES. Even though they are pricy (upwards of $15-17), these bagels and lox are the best in town. Juan, the guy at the counter, was very nice and patient while I had my fair share of samples (note it was quite empty when I went). I suggest the Scottish salmon on a toasted sesame bagel with horseradish cream cheese read more

On our first full day visiting my brother and SIL, they took us to eat brunch here. We had ordered from R&D on Goldbelly but never had eaten it in New York. I ordered the shtetl because it had goat cream cheese and sable on a bialy. What's not to like? I added tomato to the sandwich and got a pint of unsweetened iced tea. Eric R. ordered the daughters' delight, gaspe nova with salmon roe and cream cheese on a poppyseed bagel. He was pretty happy because he had not realized it had ikura on it and he loves salmon roe! We also split a latke which was surprisingly flavorful though not heated up. We were quite pleased with this satisfying meal of brain food! read more

Very, very disappointed. I had heard so many positive things about Russ & Daughters, and so made it a point to go out of my way and try their bagel and lox. While other customers had generous lox portions, I received a measly one slice of flimsy smoked salmon - and was charged a whopping $13 for this pathetic mess. I ordered a smoked salmon bagel with scallion cream cheese on toasted sesame bagel. The bagel was good - crispy on the outside and thick, doughy, and chewy in the centre. I was looking forward to trying their famous lox, but could barely taste it due to the smidge of a piece that I received. I ended up eating that piece separately; while good, I was very peeved at the amount. Would not recommend going here. Would also not recommend their tofu cream cheeses; they're definitely on the sweeter end and do not taste as authentic as those from Ess-a-Bagel. read more

My better half was in NYC and close to Russ and Daughters so he brought us home two kinds delicious smoked salmon (Irish and Gaspe), some caviar cream cheese, bagels and elderflower Swedish fish.

Can't wait to get some more. read more

Still the best smoked fish in town. You don't come here for the bagels, but the lox is expertly sliced and perfectly smoked. The whitefish salad is the best in town, mostly fish, not overly salty, and barely held together with mayonnaise. Not cheap, but this is the real deal. The Brooklyn location is much less crowded and touristy, and the bakery is fun to see. read more

I've been to Russ and daughters in the city and it was a lot better than this. We did do delivery this time so that could have also affected the quality but the bagels were much smaller than I remembered and they were shy with the cream cheese!! We got the original lox and a regular pumpernickel with cream cheese. It was better after we microwaved it cause the bread was kinda hard. Would definitely recommend going into the city and trying it and also eating it in person. It also took 2 hours to get 2 bagels, not worth. read more

Discovered the awesome Russ & Daughters of Houston Street has a location in Brooklyn... Only discovered it by chance when mapping the route to Wegman's for my cousin in Forest Hills. Now there are TWO reasons to come to the trendy Brooklyn Navy Yard: Wegman's & Russ & Daughters. All the great appetizers you find at the Houston Street location are here in Brooklyn! You can order in person as a "walk in" but expect a wait**. Here is a top: Order in advance online... your order will be ready and waiting for you with no wait! I was very pleased with everything! Delicious & Fresh!! ** A word about Russ & Daughters: This is NOT a corner deli where you can get a crappy sandwich in 2 minutes. I noticed some of the poor reviews don't realize this. Russ & Daughters is an old school Jewish Style APPETIZING STORE ... NOT (repeat NOT) a corner "deli"; Many customers are here for the expertly wafer thin sliced smoked fish items and schmears and salads. Each needs to be prepared and weighed. Yes! This does take time and there are long waits for walk ins. (The food is worth it, though). Russ & Daughters also doesn't sell the supermarket grade, pre-packaged products found at your corner deli... the items here are freshly cured and prepared by Russ & Daughters. It is worth every penny. That is why I pre-order online. It doesn't cost any more and your order will be waiting for you. read more

I wanted to love everything but I felt that it was just overpriced. The bagels weren't life changing. I think most NY bagel places are as good it not better.

Russ & daughters never disappoints. Fresh off a plane, my bf and I headed straight here for our first meal on our 5 hour layover. Saturday morning around 10am and under a 5 minute wait. This was amazing, we've waited 30 at the other location. Such a great find. The man who helped us was so sweet and thoughtful, truly a breadth of fresh air. We both had the classics bagel (mine gf everything), one with scallion spread and the other caviar. Their fish and spread is exceptional.

Best bagels and lox ever. The egg salad is also exceptional. Just pricey but worth the jaunt.

I'm shocked at the low rating this location has: - Yes Russ & Daughters is Expensive they are selling Lox & an assortment of other fish. This isn't just a bagel store (~$15 can be cheaper depending on what type of fish you get) - I usually go to the Manhattan location on weekends & occasionally come here & had never waited more than 5 mins for service - Benefit of this location is there is no line & you get the same quality food as you would in the city - I always refer friends to Russ & Daughters because your going to get a high quality Lox bagel. Yes it is expensive but please refer me to any other restaurant that provides the same quality of Lox for cheaper - The big difference between this location & the main Manhattan location is - old NY vs the new Developing NY ** If your complaints are that they move slow here or the wait is long then you must of never been to the Manhattan location when it's 50ppl jammed packed inside like sardines. read more
