Reading the reviews for Harrie's Bagelmania really makes me wonder if I ate at the same place as everyone else! I went there based on reviews from Yelp but had the opposite experience.
I thought the bagels were about as good as grocery store bagels i.e. doughy and bland. I was hoping for real deli food like good pickles and potato salad but the potato salad was worse than the bagel. My travel companions were equally disappointed. I ordered lox cream cheese on a sesame bagel and if I had not been so hungry, may have given it away.
Also, the woman behind the counter left our bagels sitting on the counter while she helped several other people who were ordering. By the time they shouted our order, my brother was done with his bagel and mine was cold.
I also don't favor places that use styrofoam and to go packaging even when you're eating there. I would not go here again despite my desire to support mom and pops over chain restaurants.
