Tried it over the weekend, as I usually go to another 'very-near-by' bagel and bialy place, just to see the competition, you can tell they are trying to poach customers from this other near-by deli.
Had a bagel and lox, to start, as it's pretty much a standard for a 'jewish' bakery. The nova was really bad, very slimy and smelled 'too' fishy for lox. Cream cheese was fine, tomatoes looked maybe a day or two old. And my bagel was undercooked on the inside. I picked at it but was not happy.
For my main dish I got the Rueben, which was pretty good. Nothing bad to note, but not the best I've had.
My wife got an omelet which was very over cooked... brown 'crunchy' eggs, rubbery texture. Just no good. After notifying the waitress, we felt like we were being judged and her attitude was on the cusp of rude, saying, "Well do you want me to get you a new one or not?" normally not a rude sentence, but with her attitude you could tell this wasn't the first plate sent back this morning.
Really sad this place was a dud, as the prices looked pretty good for the neighborhood.
Abe's website says, "Finally an alternative" I disagree... There is a reason other places have been around for 20+ years. I'm going to stick to my normal bagel and bialy place right across the street.
tl;dr Don't chance it and Skip Abe's.
