Sammy's in Teaneck is a fun mix -- half bagel shop, half sit-down pizzeria -- and it makes for a solid kosher stop in town. I went with a sesame bagel loaded with lox, veggie cream cheese, and a stack of fresh veggies. It was exactly what I was craving -- generous portions, crisp lettuce and onions, and the bagel itself was soft but held everything together. We also tried a veggie omelette on a bagel which was fresh and satisfying. Not the fanciest spot, but dependable, tasty, and a good go-to if you're looking for a bagel or kosher bite in Teaneck. read more

Sammy's - Bagels Near Me - Teaneck, New Jersey

Sorry, not the greatest bagels, there are a lot better in the area. Also, I asked for extra cream cheese, not sure they heard me Sammy's was recommended, but believe we are not going back. read more

I guess the reason why the price of a cream cheese bagel is double what you will find anywhere else is that they put so much cream cheese on the bagel that it is impossible to eat. They think they are doing you a favor; they aren't. read more

Great coffee, the new barista is super nice and made my drink perfectly. I'll definitely be coming back!

Ordered a sandwich. I didn't hear my name called when it came up and someone else took my food. I saw her bring it back; not sure if she tasted it or just pawed at it. They tried to give it to me. I wasn't having it. They "magnanimously " agreed to remake the sandwich and then they made it WRONG. read more

The service is absolutely terrible. I have been going to sammy's since as long as I can remember, but I don't think I will ever go back. The workers are incredibly rude + unsanitary. I was the only person in the store today and nobody helped me for at least 3 minutes because they weren't paying attention. Whenever I order I feel like I am bothering them! One time a man was so rude to me and other people on line... to the point where everyone was uncomfortable. A few people and I briefly spoke while waiting on line ... couldn't believe how rude he was. Not to mention... they never gloves whenever they prepare food. The worst instance of this was when a cashier touched my food that was already bagged after I asked the simple question "was the bagel cut?" - spoiler it wasn't but she pulled it apart for me. I thought she would've just asked the guy who had made the bagel. I always feel rushed... even if nobody is behind me. 9/10 if you ask for a toasted bagel, it will not be toasted. Overall, disappointing and I don't intend to go back when employees make it uncomfortable. Always one of the best bagels... too bad. read more

Sammy's is my #1dairy restaurant everything tastes so fresh I will definitely come back they have the best acai bowl!! can't wait to order again read more

the worst customer service i have experienced in a long time. My daughter in law was having a party and we wanted to get bagels and platters from a kosher store. One of her friends told us Sammys is kosher. We could not have had a more unpleasant experience. We called a few times and it went to voice mail. Finally on our 4th day of trying someone answered the phone. We asked if we could order a few platters and 3 or 4 dozen bagels. We were told that they don't take orders over the phone and we were directed to the website and rushed off the phone. We then went to the website to order. The website itself is not organized well and lead to some further questions. For example, the cream cheese platter doesn't have any descriptions as to what is included. It vaguely describes cream cheeses on a platter without specific types included. I have a child who is anaphylactic to nuts and we wanted to be sure that none included nuts. We then called again and after struggling to get through were redirected to the website. At this time, because we need kosher food, we went to the website and ordered bagels and individual cream cheeses by the pound. My wife bought disposable serving dishes to put the cream cheeses in as to have them presented appropriately and not in plastic tubs. Today , the food was delivered and an a large portion of the cream cheese was omitted, yet it was clearly on the bill. I called the store again and the woman offered to refund me the money and i asked if they could deliver what was missing as it was their error and she refused and got nasty. I asked for the manager and she said he would be in in 20 minutes. It is now 7 hours later and i have received no call back. Do not order from this place if you have a significant sized order or want to be treated like you matter to them. read more

I rarely order soup...but if imma pick a soup it will be my favorite because every place Ive had it....Amazing. Ordered Lobster Bisque...and i can only say....i wish Gordon Ramsey could comr and save the day. SORRY. But this was the worst one ive ever had. I never knew it could taste so wrong. I am even compelled to bring some to the chef so they would know what it should taste like. Please dont serve that anymore. Giving Lobster Bisque a bad name. read more

I should have read the Yelp reviews beforehand rather than trusting my friend. We ordered a personal size pizza and stuffed shells. The pizza was fine - nothing to write home about but also very big for a "personal" size. The stuffed shells were truly inedible: not fully cooked and flavorless. You guys need to compress your menu to fewer but higher quality items. And charging for water is a joke! read more

I brought a late lunch to some people and they decided on this place. They ordered salads and I went with the tuna wrap. I called in my order and it was difficult putting in the order with the lady. I had to repeat several times and go through my order over again like she wasn't comprehending. I don't know what the deal was. They make you pay over the phone fyi. When I arrived I parked on the street but keep in mind parking in this area is tough. I walked in and they were a little busy. I went to the pick up area and the nice man gave me my food and I left. When I dug in the side salad was tasty and the wrap wasn't bad. It was a decent tuna wrap. All in all I had an ok experience. read more

The food has no taste... how do they manage to screw up pizza? Undercooked crust and waxy cheese...and tasteless

We were craving a good New York style pizza so based on the name we decided to come here. The pizza dough is on the bready side and not the thin crusty style that we expect. The cheese and sauce is average, cheese is not too oily and the sauce is very mild tasting. The undercarriage held onto bits of leftover burnt flecks which is not good. Better than Dominos pizza but not spectacular. read more

Sammy's - Black burnt flecks and the top of the crust is a bit underdone. - Bagels Near Me - Teaneck, New Jersey

My experience this morning was not great. I have been here before & today I came in to pick up an order. A tall gentleman and a lady told me it was on the other side mind you this is a bagel order & I was on the bagel side. I went to the other side of the restaurant and of course the order wasn't there and when I returned to the bagel side. A different gentleman talks to me rudely and gets annoyed at the fact that I'm questioning about the situation/order & for me to calm down because "It's just an order" with that being said I'll go to Bec Bagel read more

Staff needs to be schooled in customer service Owner should be on premises more often to see. Our experience has always been bad. read more

when I crave bagel, this place is always in my mind. Their bagel is soft/inside and almost crusty outside(just like how I like it)and add some cream cheese to it and you're in paradise. I took one star off because the coffee is just ok, not something I will visit here for, I usually come here as early as 7am to avoid the long lines that everyone is complaining about, The staff are doing their job jut fine. read more

Such awful customer service. Ordered delivery, which they, again, screwed up and no way to reach them by phone. The frustration is never worth it for the food. read more

Sammy's - "Sicilian slice" - Bagels Near Me - Teaneck, New Jersey

I had an amazing experience at Sammy's this past Saturday night! We came an hour to closing and the manager made us milkshakes despite the milkshake bar being closed for the night! The service was fast and the food was great!!! Would 10/10 recommend! read more

Perpetual chaos and incompetence! On three occasions I placed my order and paid for it, but after waiting 15 minutes or more I was told that they had no record of it. So today I placed a pickup order which was promised for 1:00, but was not ready until 1:40. And on top of that, my "vegan" pizza (which I had them confirm) has cheese on it. This is no way to run a business! read more

Ask for the ratatouille Or the calzone with mice droppings What exquisite flavor. Besides the ecoli And the salmonella what more could one want. read more

Great food and great service. We ate lunch here on a Sunday afternoon in August. It was probably their busiest time and service was EXCELLENT. The person at the front register patiently took our order and explained some of the different items. The manager, Alex, prepared several iced coffees at the coffee bar and they were delicious. And the person at the bagel counter also patiently took our orders and accommodated some special requests. I had the Eggplant Parm and Garlic Knots and they were fantastic. My friends had several different kinds of pizza, including the French Fry Pizza - which they loved. The food was great and everyone that works here made sure we had a pleasant time. Everyone had a great time and we can't wait to go back. read more

Bagels are fresh and very tasty. I don't mind driving from Northern Bergen County on a Sunday morning- it's worth it.

Many of Sammy's workers were NOT wearing masks that covered their noses when I came to pick up my order. They also don't enforce social distancing rules. When I mentioned this, all I got was an eye roll. They just don't care. Don't shop here if you care about your health. read more

I was on the phone with somebody for 20 minutes placing an order when the phone call was disconnected. I found out later that the power went out in the store. I called back to complete the order (after already having given my credit card number), and some woman who professed to be a manager at Sammy's informed me that I never called, I never placed the order, no one ever took my credit card number, and that "I'm confused". My husband who was standing next to me got on the phone and said "excuse me, my wife is not confused as I heard everything she said because it was on speakerphone." This woman then told my husband that he's confused! I went on to tell her the price the employee had quoted me for my order, and to even tell her that he told me it would be an extra $10 to have a platter for my order. She continued to deny that this ever happened and continued to say she was standing next to this person who was "in training" and that none of this conversation ever happened!!! So in other words, she was calling my husband and myself liars! I have never in my life had such an experience, and I will never give the store any of my business again!!! awful!!! read more

If I could skip a star I would give them zero stars. Every time I order food something gets messed up. My company ordered pizza from here for an order over $100 and they didn't deliver. When trying o call 3 times no one knew what to tell us, and it was too late to order from somewhere else. The food is good but it comes with a higher cost as well as the most miserable services I have ever seen, and the owner does nothing to fix it. He is greedy for the high prices but not for client retentions. Puppy's and Mocha Bleu are far better! read more

Horrible, Terrible and Arrogant!!!! Ordered and paid for food online. Went to pickup order and no one had any idea that an order was placed. Showed the Manager my receipt for the order and he just shrugged. No offer of apology or getting my order prepared quickly. Just a shrug and being told they are busy and I would have to wait 40 minutes. This is the second time it happened. While I was waiting for my order to be found, another person also came in and was told that her order was not prepared. The staff is discourteous, insolent and basically do not care. HOW IS THIS PLACE STILL IN BUSINESS???????? WHY AREN'T THE OWNERS TRYING TO MAKE IMPROVEMENTS TO OPERATION AND SERVICE??? Look at the other current reviews; all 1 Star. If patrons stopped buying here, maybe a critical internal review would force change...... STAY AWAY; RUN AWAY!!!! read more

I would give zero stars if possible. I am visiting my kosher in-laws from NYC and I volunteered to pick up breakfast with MIL and toddler for family Sunday morning. Neither the patrons or employees were masked, even though the signage at the door required masks and the line had people bottlenecked within inches of one another. I would never go back based on this alone. Congrats Bergen County - you are the richest county AND the leader in number of Covid cases in NJ. While 90% of the employees were maskless, there was not a smile in sight. The woman behind the counter was rude to my 60 year old mother in law, refused to toast a bagel with tuna fish because "it was fresh." We had to wait in a different area for our iced coffees (where no one was behind the counter) so after 5 minutes waiting and being told "someone would be over there," what I can assume is the manager walked over poured two black iced coffees and walked away. There was no "straws are over there, would you like milk," just a scowl and wordless walk away. We also ordered an egg sandwich which had to be prepared in the pizza section. We had to wait 20 minutes for it to be ready. While the pizza maker (was getting that section ready for the day) mentioned they were understaffed, they had at least 7 people working there which is way more than my neighborhood bagel store/greasy spoon ever had growing up in Essex county. Inefficient. Rude. Unsanitary. Be better. read more

An acceptable bagel. Chewy, with a good crust. Overly dense. Cooked fairly evenly. Good quality cream cheese. The everything topping was a tad overcooked but just barely. Unfortunately, I found only a single piece of salt in it :( crunchy salt crystals are essential to a good everything bagel. Service was good. Would probably not repeat. read more

I wish I could give these guys a 0 star rating. I ordered a pie at 8:15pm and picked it up at 8:35pm 25 minutes before they close. When I got home, I noticed the pizza wasn't a fresh pie, but leftovers they put together quickly in a box. When I asked them, their pizza chef told the person I spoke to that I was in a rush (clearly a lie) They texted me and asked if I want a refund. After I sent them a message that I agreed they asked that I email them. Since then, I have not heard back. Do yourselves a favor and purchase food from a more respectable establishment. read more

We always viewed these guys as solid& dependable not amazing but better than going frozen...mainly because the service was ok as well...then tonight, we got there about 8:15 or so wait in line like 15 minutes to be told "sorry no pies until 9:30" ok upsetting, because there's 15 minutes of my life I'm not getting back... but as we're there already, I ask for some of the vegetable & fresh mozzarella slices they have in the display case at which point I'm told "sorry those are sold"...PAUSE TO PROCESS THIS LATEST NUGGET AND AVOID LOOKING CONFUSED OVER WHAT I JUST HEARD, TAKE A DEEP BREATH AND RESPOND; Sold!? Are u a pizza shop or a showroom?!... First you waste 15 minutes of my life because nobody can bother to hang a simple sign saying something like "No Pizza Orders Until 9:30" then you waste more time because you also cant be bothered to simply remove "sold pizza" from the display? If this place was on par with Saba's NYC, Prime Time Cafe in New Rochelle and /or Pizza Time or Amnon's in Bklyn, that'd be one thing...but the fact is all those places besides having infinitely better pizza also have a level of customer service that shows that A) they know how to make sure they're never over-overwhelmed...especially on those all important Saturday nights B) they realize that no matter how good their reputation and product, it can't come at the expense of their customer service... Yeah I know i sound like someone that's making a big deal for not getting their pizza...but in a situation like this where it could've been avoided with a little actual professionalism and customer concern instead of condescending cockiness, that pretty much says it all... read more

Really good bagels its rare to find these kinds of bagels and their coffee is great the coffee machines are Irving coffee roast so great. But why not the five full stars. Very simple horrible customer service especially when crowded not enough care on the customer, need to be more nice and not so savage with my bagel also like listen to what i want don't rush like crazy and then charge me crazy for it, testing peoples patience. Thats why!!! I will still go here because the bagels are top notch and coffee is very good. Also for some reason the customers who come here are mad rude lighten up because I'm jewish too and don't act like a desperate twat skipping, starring and screaming for no reason. All in good time. read more

Disappointed! I gave it another try and it let me down again. Wait time for breakfast was more than half hour after ordering. The order was not right. Items were missing because they were "out of them" and they did not offer to replace them or refund. Fruit flies were buzzing around the sinks and tables were not bussed. The staff is so irreverent. They're slow and sometimes rude. I wish the owner took pride in customer service and worked to make people feel good about coming to Sammys. read more

If I'm looking for pizza in the neighborhood, I always avoid this place. Reasons: Always crowded Very loud Not a hospitable environment High prices Bad for groups Long lines and waiting times When I get pizza here, I always go to EJ's instead. In EJ's, it's usually not that crowded and I've never had to wait that long in a line. read more

I ordered a salad here today. While eating it, I found egg shells in the salad. When I called to complain and get a new salad or a refund, the person who answered said they can't do anything for me without a receipt (which I declined to accept when paying.) Even though I had my order form and could show I paid with credit card, they wouldn't do anything. When I asked to speak to the manager, she argued with me and then just hung up the phone. This is one of the worst experiences I've had at a restaurant. read more
