| - I likes me this place. What I like the best about it is the craziness.
Some fellow Yelpers and I headed to Bathurst & Lawrence after much Kosher talk to get our bagel on. A reservation was made...but reservations don't count for much at United. If there is a large group, go before noon and these hard working ladies will ensure you get seated. You may wait a bit, but the experience makes it worth your while.
The latkes are quite good - prob some of the best I have ever had! Nice and thick and not too greasy. They are served with sour cream and apple sauce on the side.
The twister bagel (I feel it is mandatory to do a twisty dance when you describe it, and while you eat it - particularly if it causes rolled eyes from Dale "as an economist" M), was gouda. A little more "bun" than "bagel" but this puppy was huge. I was only able to eat half.
I had an omelet and salad as well. Both were fine, but as other reviewers said, the flavouring is a bit bland here.
Note that this is a dairy restaurant, so no meat in sight. If like Danielle "my backup singer" P, you are hankering for some gravy (and duh...who isn't 24/7?!), you won't get any here. Its okay, its okay, put the protest signs down, cause what United has done is made this luxurious dip. It looks like ass but tastes like heaven. Susan "purveyor of fine bagels" C believes it is a combo of mayo, sour cream, lemon and some other tasty treats. I would have to agree with her. But regardless, it is fabulous.
If you are in the area (please check out Winners in this plaza!!!) and want to have huge portions, go here. If you want some mystifying fast service and almost snarly waitresses that you will fall in love with, go here.
