On the ride home with the pickles in the car, I could have eaten all the pickles. Such great corned beef, pastrami and bagels.

From the simplest bagel to an elaborate party tray of meats and cheese, this place can do it all. Our favorite is a western omelet with cheese, hash browns and an everything bagel. The ingredients are fresh and the taste is comforting. Any variety of bagel offers a tender crisp and chewy inside making it everything you want in the perfect bagel. The party tray meats and cheeses are fresh and delicious.The staff is friendly and professional. They are happy to help make your experience a good one!Covid protocol is in place so you feel safe.

We had bagels and mushroom barley soup. It was delicious. We ordered ahead and got curbside delivery. Which was great since there was a line outside when we arrived. Always delicious food.

I remember coming here doing Saturday morning shopping with my grandma as a kid. I always got the hot corn beef with an egg bagel, it is just as good as I remembered

Speaking as a native New Yorker, this is the best bagelry west of Ann Arbor. The bagels are good, as is the lox spread and the chive cream cheese. The bialys are dry and oversize; might as well just get an onion bagel. They get their authentic Black&Whites from the same New Jersey bakery that supplies most of NYC.

Every time I spent the night at my Dzia Dzias house in Prospect Heights I would wake up to Bagels from Chicago Bagel and Bialy. Simply put, the Garlic or Onion Bagels are the best Bagels in the world. I drive all the way from Wisconsin to get my hands on the best Bagels in the world. I wish there was a Chicago Bagel & Bialy closer, but its well worth the drive.

My experience coming here is one of the best. Lucy and Alex (two employees that work here) will always greet you with a smile. The food here is one of a kind. They make fresh bagels throughout the day so you can come anytime and still enjoy hot and ready bagels. As well they offer a great selection for breakfast and lunch items. With great pricing. Looking to grab a morning snack or just some coffee. Its ready in a timely manner and will be handed to you with a smile. I currently come here 3times a week to sit down and enjoy some great food and service. First time you come here ask for Lucy or Alex for even better service. However my visit here overall is 5stars no doubt. I hope you have the same experience I do Everytime I come in

Where do I start. Best lean corn beef sandwich I have EVER had. Wonderful MB Soup. Potato/Hash Browns were excellent. Large portions. Excellent customer service & staff. They seem to make everything per order. Fresh. The only negative I have is the smoked salmon (& we eat a lot of smoked salmon) was extremely salty. I crave this place weekly & highly recommend it. Corn beef sandwich on rye bread was was absolutely phenomenal!

Chicago Bagel and Bialy has great sandwiches. I have been coming here for years. Most recently I went there on Sunday afternoon and had a corned beef/salami sandwich on a bagel and it was excellent. My wife ordered an egg sandwich with grilled salami and cheese it was also delicious. I will definitely be returning here.

Review №31

This is a sandwich place like no other! The quality of the meat and how it is prepared is amazing. It is not a condiments flying everywhere place like a Subway, or Jimmy Johns! This is a custom sandwich which they prepare 1 at a time to ensure quality. They also have great bagels. I prefer the pastrami, brisket sandwich! It will change your opinion on what a good sandwich place should be!!

I guess they close at 3:30pm now and the grill is not usable after 3:00pm. Need to update Google and the hours listed on the front door. Otherwise the food is decent but expensive.

What a place. Absolutely the best bagels anywhere in Chicagoland. Ive been going there for over 30 years, both the new store and the old store, never had a bad experience. Atmosphere is what youd expect in a fast paced, well organized bagel shop. Bagels the way they should be made. I agree with everything a 5-star place should be and found it at Chicago Bagel & Bialy!

The best bagels my wife and I have had in the Chicago suburbs, the texture is heaven! Their lox breakfast sandwich and homemade corned beef has us coming back for more. Unfortunately though the last few times we went there, we were unable to find the celery soda we tried on our first trip.

As first time customers, my wife and I were so excited to eat here. Very disappointing. I had corned beef and my wif had a Reuben. Meat was very fatty. We ordered mish mosh soup too. It cam luke warm and no kasha in it. I feel giving 3 stars is generous. Next time we will order the lean corned beef for an extra $1.50.

This is a very nice bagel place with an excellent selection of bagels, good lox, good coffee. Though admittedly, it is not quite at the level of any such establishments I would care to list in Skokie to be frank, but nevertheless great for the area!

Incredibly ignorant, tasteless and tacky!!! My friend passed just 4 days ago and this business is advertising on her nieces farewell to her on her Facebook page via a man named Harold Harkovy stating that they should order chiva trays from Chicago Bagel and eat and be merry 😍❤👄. If I could post a picture of it I would.
