Still on the hunt for a great bagel and lox, this place was next on the list. The ambiance was about what you'd expect and the staff was friendly. I grabbed a bagel with lox (served open face) and was very impressed. Great spread, great fish and tomato, but the standout by far was the bagel. Crispy and chewy and very large. I will be back for sure. I read so much on Yelp about the bacon and scallion spread that I grabbed it on a bagel to go. Was not disappointed. I also like that this seems to be a local family run spot. Always excited to support and advocate for that.
One small detail that I thought was odd, apparently they were letting some of the clientele pick what was on their TV - a spot you'd usually see something like sportscenter or CNN - Someone chose a rerun of mama's family (guessing, I didn't recognize it for sure). It added a really strange vibe. Probably a one off but thought it was odd :)
