Yummy food when your order actually comes out correct! This place is so so slow, don’t even attempt to go on weekends & prime breakfast time during the week.

Bagel Barn is the best. Even though they don’t have hash browns, I give them 5 stars. That’s how good their bagels are.

Drove 25 minutes to this place today because the website CLEARLY says gluten free bread available. I wait in line and then the guy tells me they have not had gluten free items for weeks. I told him the website says they do and he says sorry we are undermanned and have not had any time to update the website. Sad to see the owner does not have 3 minutes to change the website so I do not have to waste my gas. DO NOT COME HERE. I will make sure everyone I know avoids this dump.

Bagel Barn has become very disappointing in the recent few years, this was the go to through my high school years and even through college when I came back. The food is good, but the service is poor. I have had many wrong orders and staff that doesnt know how to identify a bagel (one of the cashiers gave me rye instead of poppy and tried to tell me that they were the same thing).The owner has vocally ranted to customers about not being able to find staff because WE GOTTA STOP PAYING PEOPLE TO NOT WORK. This lead to BB removing the ability to call in orders and now we have to use a website with a convenience fee. So basically, we get to pay more to get the wrong order.

High school girl didnt want to edit our order so they were out of grilled vegetables... figure that out. Also service charge for credit cards? Get bent.

This is my second time coming here and the messed my order up both times. I would strongly suggest checking your bag before you leave. First time they didnt give me my coffee second time the mixed my sandwiches up gave me the wrong thing. The first time when I told them they left it out the girl got mad and gave me a coffee of course it was the wrong one when I told her it was wrong she asked to see the receipt with an attitude. Today I couldnt let them know they messed up my order because they didnt answer their phone. What makes its bad is I ordered online so everything was written correctly. Hope everyone else has a better experience.

This has been our favorite bagel place- TERRIBLE TODAY! Yes, busy on Sunday.. waited OVER AN HOUR to get our simple order wrong.. two bagels, one with cinnamon -raisin CC, gave me plain cream cheese.. my husband asked for egg on his bagel- over cooked & dry.. $17.00 for two coffees & two bagels.. terrible service!I was outside the deli waiting for my husband (an hour) SO MANY PEOPLE complaining that came out with wrong orders & long wait...Not GOING BACK

The bagels are great but expect long waits during busy hours. Also make sure to check your order because your bagel may be made the wrong way (semi frequently).

Bagels really good here. Go just before they open to get that first batch, fresh! It’s a little busy and chaotic, but I’ve only really gone here during the pandemic.

Absolutely amazing place. Boars head meat and fresh bagels. The staff was polite and actually enjoy their job. The manager (possibly owner) was fantastic and very hands on. I will be coming back!

Tasty bagels 👍🏼, but all those comments about orders being done wrong are true. I ordered turkey & egg bagels, lady behind counter confirmed I’m going for sausage patties (not deli turkey), but we got deli turkey in our breakfast sandwiches anyway 👎🏼.

Never heard of a Bagel Store not opening till 7:30 am ? Did not have an experience, me and 3 other potential customers standing in the parking lot @ 7:10 am shrugging our shoulders . Sorry, no business from me, have to be to work at 7:30 ?

I used to be OBSESSED with Bagel Barn. As a jersey girl who loves her bagels, this was definitely a must whenever I visited home throughout college. However, the last time I visited home, I found that the quality here was definitely lacking. The bagels were not as fluffy and fresh as they used to be? I was honestly pretty devastated. Now dont get me wrong, Id take bagel barn over any bagel store in Seattle. However compared to NYC bagels, this just isnt on par anymore. I knoww its not right to compare this to NYC bagels but bagel barn used to be JUST as good, if not even better.

Okay I just left from here not even 30 mins ago and was greeted by Sophia and Rachel. Despite them getting ready to close which in my state of hungry i didnt realize these two ladies were so helpful in helping me decide what i wanted and even gave my tip for the next time i came. The overwhelming options seemed a lot more manageable because of these ladies.Now on to the turkey spinach wrap i got. $10 and this wrap weighted a ton the perfect ratio meat, cheese, toppings and spread. My belly is full but my tastes buds want more. If you are in the area this is the place to be.Amazing service and amazing food, Way to go ladies.Thanks see you soon.

They have very good bagels, but you need to check your order. I have had several cases when they gave me the wrong bagels or cream cheese. Today I went in and ordered whole wheat everything bagels and they gave me plain. I also ordered veggie cream cheese and they gave me plain cream cheese. Just check your order before you leave.

Quality and stuff . Quality of the bagels is always outstanding, soft on the inside, baked to the perfection on outside. Easy to pick up different creamcheesee or add lox or make hot sandwiches. However when you place an order in the upfront of the store make sure that hostesses repeat it back to you and you listen carefully as music is very loud and is constantly new personal taken your order.

Review №42

Been my go-to bagel place for around 20 years. Delicious bagels, friendly staff, tasty cream cheese options. The breakfast sandwiches are pretty average quality, but I have to stress again that their bagels are delicious, this is the place to go in the area if you want a proper bagel. It’s a popular spot, and can be pretty busy depending on the time of day, so go early or late or plan ahead. The bagels are made fresh in the morning so if you get there later in the day don’t expect a wide selection.

Besides making delicious bagels and offering a really great assortment of cookies and muffins, especially grateful to Orlando and his team for being EXTREMELY generous with their time and their goods. They recently donated a huge amount of bagels to a local group I work with that throws a holiday breakfast for food-insecure children and their families. Thanks a million for supporting the local community!

Never went here before but thought I would try it after hearing so much about the bagels.The cold little lady taking my order wasn’t very warm and I knew right away I’m not coming back. Very few places I’ve been give me that cold vibe !A good management is one where you must find people working for you that are warm and friendly to the customers otherwise you will lose many customers. It’s vital !

Forgot wallet (full of cash) at the bagel barn and management not only kept it safe, but went out of their way to contact me to notify me that I had left it there. All the money and cards were still there when I retrieved it. On top of that, they whip up some quality bagels.

Best bagel spot in town!!! Theyre always crowded, so phone in your order ahead of time if you dont want to wait. Bagels are fluffy and delicious. Addicted. However a 15oz bottle of Tropicana Apple juice is $2.75 😱. A bit overpriced. But, I deal with it because rthe food is so good. 5 stars for sure!!!

Review №62

Usually a great place to get food, but the cashier misheard me on me wanting a HOT sandwich so they just took the cold one they already made and heated it up. Not the same way they make a hot sandwich when they grill the meat instead of using cold cuts. Will not come back after this bs.

This is a solid bagel shop. They have a good selection of bagels made fresh and you can also pick up day old ones for a good discount. Wide selection of sandwich options for both breakfast and lunch. Staff is friendly and service is quick. Prices are about average and is a good quality for what you pay.

Always good bagels!! Theres usually a line here on weekend mornings because its just that delicious, so be prepared to wait if youre there. They have a large variety of meals too, not just bagels! Perfect place for breakfast to go or to stay!

More disappointed every time I try to order from here. I lived in Montgomery for 20 years, so when I come home to visit, I like to order from my favorite local spot. Every time I try to call in my order, I’m put on hold for 10+ minutes before I end up hanging up from waiting for so long. When you go to the location for food, it’s great! It’s just sad that the service has been declining so much in recent years.

The best pork roll, egg, and cheese on a whole wheat everything bagel! Love the barn interior of the building. Plenty of seating. Usually busy but fast, accurate service.

Service is pathetic. Routinely wait 30 minutes for bagels & 45 min for hot food. Business is poorly run survives solely on location & nostalgia. Montgomery deserves a better option.

Review №70

The atmosphere is nice and the selection is good. The service isnt great, I tried calling in a order and was put on hold for 10 minutes, then the employee who was taking my order had no idea was salami egg and cheese on a bagel was, I said it is just sliced deli meat instead of Taylor Ham / Pork Roll, then the phone gets passed to a older guy who started yelling at me that he will only make it once and it will be a custom sandwich. Why yell? If you dont want my business, then say it.When picking up, I was OVER charged for my 3 bagel order since they were custom and that is what the computer charges. Extra $10 for 3 bagels? I paid it because they already made it and I agreed to custom sandwiches. I dont plan on going back.

Very unhappy... place was very nice but I ordered a chicken cutlet sandwich that was 10$ and it was terrible. If I’m paying 10$ for a chicken cutlet sandwich I expect it to be full.. not a tiny piece of chicken with with one piece of lettuce, one tomato, and especially not on a dry roll...

Bagel Barn is a Montgomery mainstay. Its probably the best thing about this town (besides the school district, but youre probably not reading reviews for that). Come here for warm squishy bagels and witness the full diversity of the Montgomery population try to squeeze in here on a Saturday morning.

Review №93

SUPER rude staff here and outlandishly expensive. I ordered a breakfast sandwich, and the person taking my order didnt tell me that my meat choice (when asked which meat I wanted) actually bumped it up from a 4.99 breakfast sandwich to an 8.50 meat sandwich??? Thats a pretty big different that should be mentioned. Then when they called my number, I went to the counter and asked you young man if he needed my receipt (with my number on it). His response? If you need me to throw it out for you I guess I can do that, but you should just do it yourself. EXCUSE ME? I was asking if you needed the number on my receipt and you give me this crazy attitude? Please reconsider showing that kind of sarcasm and attitude. Maybe New Jersey really is just so rude compared to Canada... but that was shocking. That was my first and will be my last time eating there.

You guys have to do something different. We are in a pandemic, I placed a phone order in order to reduce my time in your store and around the known crowds. When I walked in I did not expect a packed store that looked the same as before the pandemic started. This isnt safe and I will not be coming back to your location. Research what others are doing...I knownyou now have door dash but, what about true curbside pickup. Protect yourself, employees and customers by practicing social distancing....dont let people eat inside your packed tiny resteraunt while people are less then a foot apart.

Review №95

The owner should be watching more carefully. This was the third time, I found them overcharging me. When I brought to their attention that they over charged me, they became unusually defensive and refused to give me a copy of my receipt when I said I was going to show the owners. Simply out for themselves and way overpriced

A classic if youre in Princeton. Large variety of bagel. They allr taste delicious. It is almost always possible to find a seat if you want it to stay. I would only criticize their avocados, which really always taste awful if you decide to add them to your bagel.

Excellent NY-style bagels. Most delis would dream to have long lines, like Bagel Barn. I choose to use the time to catch up with neighbors, fellow recreation coaches, or catch up on my reading. Orlando tells great jokes too. Charles G. Horn- Keller Williams Cornerstone Realty.
