The Bagel

Super quick....literally walked in, placed an order and barely had time for a breath before it was ready! Amazing corned beef and kosher pickles

If 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.

All their soups are great. ???? barley, cabbage , matzo ball , corned beef sandwich , French dip . Really everything is fresh and tasty.

is having Fresh Broiled Lake Superior Whitefish served with chilled crisp dill pickle spears, freshly baked egg challah and bread basket .

Southern fried chicken (that’s after the challah bread and TWO sides and an extra side on the house)

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 !

Many great traditional Jewish food choices like Pastrami on Rye , but also a great veggie chili , and the do serve bacon .

Love 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.

If 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 .

is having grilled American cheese sandwich served with the French fries potatoes . #grilledcheese #sandwich #sandwichchallenge #frenchfries

Ask for the hash browns extra crispy with cheese !

Expect 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

Matzo ball soup (and that was just a side)

I'm here for the matzo ball soup , or if I'm feeling hungry, the mish mosh soup

Oder the mish-mosh soup ! So good and comes in a very large bowl!

Sandwiches are big so you can share or get two meals out of it.

Bagel sandwiches basically come with a 3-egg omelette on them. Get a side of hashbrowns because, why not?

Solid food. Love The Bagel. Matzo Ball soup is top notch.

Everything is fantastic, but the custard style rice pudding is to die for! Must try.
