Bagel Bistro

FRESH bagels. Great sandwiches but service isnt that friendly. Asked for a menu to take home they told me to go online. Their morale seems low half the time.

They’ve added a bunch of tables & chairs to accommodate an overflow of the window seats & 4 or 5 booths. The bagels are fresh & tasty, & they’ve added a lot of new side dishes. The sandwiches are very good, & they now give you real utensils, as opposed to plastic. The place is clean, service is good, & the order line moves quickly.

Good bagels, chicken sits out too long, and service takes forever. These kids they hire take your order fast then forget about your meal.

Best place for bagels, breakfast, lunch& dinner, try the pannies best around! Excellent staff, friendly family place

I live about half a mile from this place and I have to say that this is hands down one of the best places in the area. I get the chicken panini and I’ve had it at least 20 times and not once have I been dissatisfied.

The food is halfway decent and there is a limited selection of bagels for a «bagel shop.» What really sets it apart is the poor attitude of the staff. No one smiles, they’re impatient to take your order and once they do they act like they’re doing you a favor. I really wish a decent bagel place would come to Jackson.

The food here is good however it’s shortcomings come from the staff. The staff if extremely unfriendly and act like they don’t need your business. Want to make an order? Well good luck getting any of their attention to take it. Want to pay? They act like you are inconveniencing them. They just seem to not care about the customer what so ever. Good food can only take a business so far and it is the attitude of the staff that will keep me from ever being a regular customer.

I needed to stop by Jackson Outlets one day but my daughter and I had not eaten anything yet so I figured I’d stop by this place to eat. Upon walking in I recieved no greeting or anything. Everyone working behind the counter was off in their own little world. I then tried to place an order… do I sit down and wait for someone? Is there a line? Do I order from this end or that? Do I order at the register? This would’ve been find if they had no signs on where to order if someone had just greeted me at the door and maybe gave me a heads up… so I finally placed my order after figuring out where to do so. My daughter and I were eating in so I picked a table and proceeded to grab her a high chair. The high chair was disgusting! The chair at my table was also gross. there was like white thick residue on the back of one chair. The coffee is station was ok with the exception of their «cappuccino» machine. it had caked on coffee or cappuccino residue. Overall I gave this place two stars due to the fact that they made my order right and it tasted ok, nothing great but ok. I unfortunately won’t be coming back.

Bagel Sandwiches are good! For lunch I usually get the Grilled Chicken/​Mozzarella panini, it’s so good. I’d come here more often if they were open later and if I didn’t feel like I was an inconvenience by walking in at 1:45 when they’re about to close. They have a consistent staff but a lot of rotating young kids. One time I swear by the time the girl heating my panini was done, I had lost half my chicken from her moving, it flipping it, cutting it, and finally wrapping it, so much had fallen out and gone to garbage. I just want the owners to be aware of staff wasting food (I personally hate when food is wasted). Haven’t seen her there again so she’s probably a goner.
Also, I don’t have food allergies but the last time I picked up and ordered food for someone else, the girl prepping the salads (one asian chicken salad and one Cesar salad) with a glove on, grabbed the almonds for one salad and with the same hand with the same glove on, put her hand into a croûton bag. So now the person getting the Cesar salad just had almonds touch their croutons. Not a big thing for me but just to consider for other people.

Everything bagel with veggie cream cheese — not bad. The workers were nice. The place is a LOT bigger and nicer than I had expected. The prices for paninis are reasonable, and I would probably try this place again for lunch (or maybe a quick sit down breakfast).

Had a bagel and coffee
Nothing special, very average bagel.
Counter help had a bit of an attitude

I love Bagel Bistro. It’s my first choice when ordering take out for lunch. I’m a big fan of the Spinach & Feta omelette, the home fries served on the side are really good. I also enjoy their paninis and heard their burgers are good as well.
I wish this place delivered.

The Bagel Bistro is a newer place that opened up by the Jackson Premium Outlets. They built all these new buildings over here and nothing good ever filled them. What a great idea to put a place that serves breakfast!
I’ve been here a few times and I’ve had the pork roll egg and cheese and they do it well. That’s pretty much the test. If you can do that right then we are off to a good start. The bagels are made literally right there in the same room you are buying them. Call it marketing call it whatever you want the oven and racks are on the far end of the room that you are ordering and you can see that they are fresh. You can smell that they are fresh! I’ve had a few bagels and they are pretty good too. Don’t be suprised either when you walk in and there is a line to the door. This side of town has been lacking a place like this and the locals flock to it every morning. They open early so get up early if you want to miss the rush. It’s a brand new building they are in so the place is nice and the staff that I’ve dealt with is always pleasant. If you are over here in the morning stop in and get something to eat.

I’ve been here about four times and each time I question why I go back. Staff are young and very snobby. I got a panini the first time I went here about a year ago and got sick later on. Tried it again and got a bagel and was good. Just went again today and got another panini and forgot that they were cold and pre-​made, not to mention VERY oily and once again threw up. Never coming back here again.

I have been here many times with my friends from the local MOMS Club. They have amazing sandwiches and the establishment is very well kept and clean.
You won’t get a better liverwurst sandwich anywhere else!

A friend told me about this place while we were driving to the Cheese Cake Factory in Freehold. He said it was phenomenal and I should stop by and try it one day. Well, I finally found myself in the area during the morning-​ish hours, and it actually happened twice. I figured I should stop on in and give it a try.
Inside it looks just like any other bagel joint you have ever been to, nothing much to say there. They are more than just a bagel shop. They offer a lunch menu as well which includes hamburgers, salads, and both hot and cold sandwiches. All their breads and bagels are made fresh, and you can really taste it.
On my two times there I ordered two separate things. First off was a basic plain bagel with plain cream cheese. I know it’s not really all that creative or daring, but the way I see it, if a bagel place can’t make a good plain bagel then it’s not worth coming back another time. Here they didn’t disappoint. Like I previously stated, the bagel was nice and fresh, and at 11:45 in the morning. Hey I said morning-​ish, didn’t I?
So another visit was owed and this time I went with bacon, egg, and American cheese on a plain bagel with a splash of ketchup. Again they didn’t disappoint. The bagel was still nice and fresh, with fluffy scrambled eggs. You add that with the perfectly cooked crunchy bacon, and the melted cheese, you end up with a perfect breakfast sandwich. So what did this perfectly created sandwich cost me you ask. Well total cost is a whole $ 3.50. So not all that bad of a hit on the wallet. So if you find yourself riding on by stop on in and grab a bite. Because Bagel Bistro is Fat kid tested and Fat kid approved.
As Always stay peckish my friends.
