Rachel MilsteinNovember 30, 2012Super quick....literally walked in, placed an order and barely had time for a breath before it was ready! Amazing corned beef and kosher pickles
Kathleen ODonnellMay 10, 2017All their soups are great. 🍄 barley, cabbage, matzo ball, corned beef sandwich, French dip. Really everything is fresh and tasty.
Jake SmithJune 10, 2013If you order a bagel sandwich to go, be sure to grab some extra napkins. The sandwiches are delicious but can create a mess if you're eating on the go.
is having Fresh Broiled Lake Superior Whitefish served with chilled crisp dill pickle spears, freshly baked egg challah and bread basket.
ISC ChicagoMarch 3, 2019Southern fried chicken (that’s after the challah bread and TWO sides and an extra side on the house)
Many great traditional Jewish food choices like Pastrami on Rye, but also a great veggie chili, and the do serve bacon.
Can't believe nobody's recommended the feta and onion omelet. Food of the gods! I'm hopeful that in another 50 years they'll be wheeling me in here for the F&O and Mish Mash Soup!
GourmetLiveOctober 19, 2010If you only order a bagel at The Bagel you’re thinking too literally—and missing out on this deli’s true specialty, Kreplach, which are robust, beef-filled dumplings.
Nicole DuhoskiNovember 8, 2009Love this place. I'm still on the hunt for a better bagel in Chicago, but it was better than most. Everything else is delicious. Matzo ball soup, corned beef, breakfast hashbrowns-yum.
Time Out ChicagoJuly 7, 2014Expect to have a brusque comment or two thrown your way. After all, the Bagel hasn’t survived all these years (since 1950) by being nice. Read more- is having broiled chicken served with dinner salad and Kasha Varnishkes pasta. #thebagel #restaurant #kashavarnishkes #broiledchicken
- is having grilled American cheese sandwich served with the French fries potatoes. #grilledcheese #sandwich #sandwichchallenge #frenchfries
Reasonably priced breakfast food. Their crispy hashbrowns with cheese are delectable.
Ramon CotaNovember 13, 2021I'm here for the matzo ball soup, or if I'm feeling hungry, the mish mosh soup
Bagel sandwiches basically come with a 3-egg omelette on them. Get a side of hashbrowns because, why not?
Sausage, egg and cheese on an onion bagle is the perfect way to start a saturday. Their b-fast sammys are a staple for me and my friends!
Everything is fantastic, but the custard style rice pudding is to die for! Must try.- is having Char-Broiled Rumanian Skirt Steak 8oz. #charbroil #rumanian #skirtsteak #thebagel #restaurant #chicago
- is having chicken breast dinner with dinner salad and mashed potatoes with gravy.
- is having a veggie burger served with french fried potatoes. #thebagel #restaurant #broadwaystreet #chicago #lakeviewchicago #veggieburger
Chefs FeedAugust 22, 2014Danny Grant, chef of 1826 Restaurant (coming soon), eats here on his nights off. He loves the Salt bagel w/ chive cream cheese. Read more- Mish mash soup. Delicious. HUGE. The glass bowl it comes in is a monstrosity. Approximately 2.3x bigger than your head.
- is having an Old Orchard burger served with fries and ranch dressing.
Time Out Chicago KidsJanuary 10, 2012The Boystown deli sells its potato pancakes for $2.50 apiece, but we bet you can't eat just one. Read more
Best bagel in town. Best bagel in Chicagoland? Once Upon a Bagel in Highland Park.
Megan GatesJanuary 18, 2011Free pickles and amazing challah. The matzo ball soup is always the perfect hangover cure.- is having a boiled short rib. #BoiledRibs #thebagel #restaurant #lakeviewchicago
