| - Einstein Brothers Bagels. A national, quasi-fast-food chain. Not usually anything special, unlike the little-known, neighborhood gems that Yelp excels at helping one find.
This one is pretty good. The seating area is less cramped than many other Einstin Bros establishments I have visited. Service is generally friendly, speed is decent, though I confess I have not been here when they were jammed with customers.
A few oddities about this location: when you enter the door, there is a big sign hanging over the counter that says "Order Here." You should ignore it, and go to the OTHER end of the counter where it says "Pay Here" to both place your order and pay for it. I don't know why they chose to deviate from standard Einstein Bros protocol, but you'll thank me when you are not wasting your time at the "Order Here" end until someone shouts at you from behind the counter to go to the other end.
Also unlike most EB's, rather than calling out your name when your order is ready, they will actually come out to the seating area and find you. A nice touch.
Food is the usual quality at an Einstein Bros, which is to say: good. I'm not convinced they have the "best bagels in Vegas" as another reviewer is, but I have never been let down.
All in all, a good place for a reasonably-priced breakfast or lunch.
