Bagel Street Grill - Bacon Egg & Cheese everything bagel - American Near Me - Plainsboro, New Jersey

Very unhappy customer! I ordered about 17 bagels for my team at work, 5 different spreads and what I thought was a fruit tray, totaling about $70. I made the order yesterday to be curbside picked up by 6:30 a.m today before I went to work. When I got to Bagel Street Grill at 6:30 a.m, I sat in my car for 10 minutes and no one came out to bring me my pick up order, so I went inside to get it. When I got inside, my order was not ready!! How on earth is my order not ready when I placed my order an entire 24 hours prior? Once all of my bagels were ready, a male employee comes to me and tells me that they do not have a seafood salad spread, despite it being listed online, so the employee gave me the option to pick a different spread. I picked tuna, which technically was cheaper than the seafood salad spread, so I should have received a refund in the difference, but I did not. Secondly, the employee had no idea what the "cut and tray" was. Online, the 'cut and tray" is listed as an assorted fruit platter. The employee then tells me that I owe them $10 additional dollars because the "cut and tray" is for the bagels to be cut and packaged. This was an absolute lie, because I had already paid extra when I ordered my bagels to have them each cut and toasted. They were trying to make me pay $10 to put bagels in a container? Absolutely not! After I advised the employee that I have already paid to have my bagels cut and toasted and that online it says the "cut and tray" is assorted fruit, the employee proceeds to tell me that I now owe an additional $50 for fruit. Mind you, the fruit was not ready or with my order at the time. How do I suddenly owe an additional $50, when the employee did not even know what the "cut and tray" was until he called his boss? When I declined to pay an additional $50 and that it was okay, I didn't need the fruit and that I needed to go because I had to get to work, the employee starts to reprimand me stating that the confusion was my fault because technically my order is considered a catered order and online says that you have to call the store for catered orders. WHAT?!?!?! I bought bagels for my team, not a party and to tell the customer that they are at fault because the employee is not properly trained on what their products are is ridiculous! How about Bagel Street Grill update their website! If you don't carry a seafood spread, remove it. If ordering 17 bagels is considered catering, then the establishment needs to put on their website the amount of bagels they consider a catered order. Lastly, Bagel Street Grill needs to provide better training to their managers and employees, because the staff is disrespectful. I was over 25 minutes late to work because the employees at Bagel Street Grill did not have my order ready, did not deliver my order to my vehicle, were unknowledgeable on their own products, and rude! I have grown up in Plainsboro and have gone to that bagel shop a plethora of times over the years and today was the first time that I was disappointed in service and won't be returning! I will also ensure I provide my feedback and experience at Bagel Street Grill to family, friends, and social media to warn others about the customer service at this place! read more

Since the sale of this business, the quality of the bagels are not quite the same as before. They have an extensive menu and the food and service is consistently ok, but sandwiches are on the skimpy side. This is NOT a New Jersey diner. It's a bagel place with an expanded menu. The only real negative, is the new owner. He is about as unfriendly as it gets and doesn't make patrons feel welcome. He never smiles and speaks abruptly to his employees. The former owner always made us feel welcome and appreciative of our patronage. read more

In a strip mall, Princeton Meadows Shopping center, on the corner end, there is a hidden gem called Bagel Street Grill. Upon walking in, you will note a photo of Guy Fieri from Food Network's show called "Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives. To be honest, I did not know who he was until I looked him up and had to agree with his assessment. This place has the best bagels, particularly, Cheddar jalapeno bagel, around. On my first visit, I ordered a Cheddar jalapeno bagel with egg and cheese as a sandwich. It was really good! The kick from the jalapeno perfectly complemented the freshly made egg and cheese sandwich. I also brought a few Cheddar jalapeno bagels to carry home so that my family could enjoy them as well. It wasn't until I tasted this bagel alone, sans butter, or anything, that I could only say, "Hot dang, this is a great bagel!" Dare I say, their bagels rival the Brooklyn bagels I am used to. They are airy and light. The place honors charge, cash, and their service is fast if you are short on time. Their coffee is okay but let's face it, they are known for their bagels. They offer various breakfast items such as pancakes, omelets, lunch items which include sandwiches, wraps, salads, and soups. Perfect for breakfast and lunch and they have available indoor and outdoor seating. Just be sure to get there before 2:00 pm because that is when they close. read more

This place used to be my favorite place for bagels, but not any longer. Bagels are still good, much more expensive though. The service is going downhill. Twice in last few weeks, I ordered food and waited and waited. The orders did not go through. Only when I checked again, they started to prepare my orders. Also, please be reminded that there is no air conditioning in this place. read more

Fantastic bagels, delicious sandwiches and friendly and knowledgeable staff. The staff treats us like family. Polite, friendly and helpful

I was excited to try this place since Guy fieri is a fan, however, it was just a regular bagel and sandwich shop. I ordered a salad,m and soecified gluten free, but I ended up getting sick from something. I don't recommend trying this place if you have any rescrictions- otherwise it is fine. read more

My wife ordered a BEC on an everything bagel. We got a plain bagel. Super disappointing. Also, they didn't cut the bagel. Weird. I did a tuna bagel. They added lettuce and tomato without asking, which I hate. The tuna tasted good, but the bagel was wet from that lettuce and tomato, which was gross. The bagels themselves are big, but dense. No airy center and no outer crisp. Flavor is good though, so for a big dense bagel, these guy have you covered but this is nothing life changing. read more

food was awesome , place is chill and good service. They just asked for a honest review

Catering Review: Did an absolutely amazing job assisting in catering a breakfast for my school's staff. Ordered a few dozen mixed variety bagels with some different cream cheese spreads and butter. Not only was their price as good as or better than the other local shops we also contacted for a quote, but Bagel Street also sliced and individually wrapped each bagel to create a safer grab-and-go experience. When I arrived at the pickup time, the bagels were still warm, bagged up, and ready to go, plates and plasticware included. A quick stop at the fridge for the spreads, and I was in and out in under five minutes. Most importantly, the staff loved the bagels. Well done all around, we'll be back! read more

Great begals, couldn't seem to make a breakfast sandwich on one though. Just begals and cream cheese.

This was in a decent sized shopping complex that offered lots of options ranging from omelets to burgers to salads. We ate there and the food was ready quickly. I had a pork roll loaded burger ($9.95) and a side of fries ($3.50?). The burger was topped with tater tots and Russian dressing. It was served on a grilled jalapeno cheddar bagel. It came with a side of a pickle and coleslaw. They were both appetizing and the coleslaw was not too overdressed. The burger came out piping hot and took some time for it to cool down. They did not ask how I wanted the burger to be cooked as it came out to a medium well temperature, a little much for me. However, the combination of all the toppings really made up for it. There was plenty of pork roll and tater tots added. The Russian dressing was a nice touch and I should have added more. The bagel was tasty too, but just not a ton of jalapeno flavor. The fries were rather plain though. Will I go back? No doubt. read more

I've been coming here probably all my life. Amazing food, classic Jersey diner feel. I've tried probably all the different cream cheese flavors, I've had dozens of breakfast sandwiches over the years, and of course I've inhaled bagel after bagel. The service is always great, friendly and warm. They talk to each other and to their customers with familiarity and there's nothing i can even complain about. Thanks for all the great years of bagels and sandwiches! read more

If you want a great NJ bagel, stop by Bagel Street Grill. They're a great bagel shop, no frills attached. Would recommend any of their bagels with just cream cheese or bagel sandwiches - the ham, egg, and cheese as well as the lox bagel are both delicious. Parking is super easy in the plaza. read more

Bagel Street Grill - Everything bagel with cream cheese - American Near Me - Plainsboro, New Jersey

Any husband knows the gut tightening that follows a strong-arming of his spouse to go somewhere he recommends, upon getting small signals that he just might be wrong. Wifey wanted a bagel but didn't want to drive the 6 miles to our favorite and reliable place. I had a brainstorm: I recalled the bustling place in Plainsboro from our soccer mom years, the Bagel Street Grill. Yes, the line was usually to the door, the food was a little pricey, but the portions were generous and the quality high. They were still in business and open. And much closer. The gut tightened upon seeing only a few vehicles in the lot on a Saturday morning - prime time for a bagel place. It tightened further upon seeing a choice of tables and no customer line. The replay in my mind has me taking wife by the arm at that moment and returning to the car. To be fair, I guess it's possible that our young counter server may have been sleep deprived, highly medicated, or the result of a campaign to employ the cognitively disabled. But I think she was just unhappy to be there and too lazy to fake a smile, say thank you or even open her heavy eyelids beyond midpoint. Two toasted bagels with cream cheese, a few bagels to take home and a coffee was $17. Ok no shock there. From Oxford: TOASTED-- "adjective, cook or brown (food, especially bread or cheese) by exposure to a grill, fire, or other source of radiant heat." I imagine that Bagel Street must have changed hands since I last visited, further imagine the new owners to speak English as a secondary language, and further imagine they've posted this definition in the work area, with the word "exposure" in bold font and double underlined. For our 'toasted' bagels were warm to the touch, but just beyond room temperature, and soft and pale as a baby's butt in Stockholm. Also striking was the thickness of these things. I could cut one of them into four slices with a mediocre knife. (hmmm maybe the shops toaster slots are too narrow so they are precluded from toasting the traditional way). For me, no biggie. Fresh bagels can be good too when I'm in the mood. In a split second I tried to force myself into that mood rather than complain. Wifey was already complaining to me. She expected some - even slight - degree of crunch. Well whatever. But one cannot deny that the thicker the bun, bread or bagel, the greater the risk that bread dominates contents. Here too the The Bagel Street food preparers must be following the "exposure" principle. 'Exposure' to cream cheese and not a microgram more. See pictures. Now I'm on board with my wife. I am INSULTED by this skimpyness. Especially after paying fairly. (At the place thats 6 miles from home, the cream cheese layer is nearly as thick as one side of the bagel). I have no financial interest in the competitor, but there is one more contrast I must point out: The competitor also sells Asiago bagels (which is what wifey ordered). They look like well done cheese pizza, with bubbles of dried cheese all over the bagel top, yummy with even zero spread. The Bagel Street however ostensibly has an alternate methodology for Asiago bagels: take plan bagel, take a thin slice of Asiago - about 1/3 the bagel width, and lay it atop the closed bagel - like a racing stripe. People, this ain't the same Bagel Street. It is a street on which you will probably get robbed. read more

Bagel Street Grill - Front - American Near Me - Plainsboro, New Jersey

To be fair, this review is based on one purchase of a dozen bagels, but I am so unimpressed with my purchase that I see no need to go back. Plus, the staff was snotty, disinterested, curt. Also, to be fair, this does happen occasionally in New Jersey, and while I won't speak for all of us, but personally, I don't mind an unfriendly waitperson as long as the food is good. Plus, this is New Jersey, after all. We want our stuff and we want to go. But Bagel Street doesn't have the quality to excuse the behavior, even if that bleached-hair, backward-sunglass wearing frat boy liked whatever it was that he ordered at that place. Like my pal, Gerry, noted, these bagels are prepared upside-down. Toppings, if you can call them that, are on the bottom. I would have no issue with this if the bagel-maker had stumbled upon a spectacular new find, but it just seems lazy and unnecessary to me. I will also mention that most of my favorite bagel joints are just a teeny bit off my usual path, so I don't go as often as I'd like; when I do, I buy a dozen (and my favorite places provide a baker's dozen; this was not the case at Bagel Street Grill), and we eat a couple the first day, and I freeze the rest. The reheated from frozen bagels are not as glorious as the ones you get fresh in the shop, but in a pinch, they aren't bad on a rainy morning when you just don't want to go out. I happened to be up in Plainsboro the other day, and had a hankering for some bagels, so I took a chance on this place. Sigh. I wouldn't use the word "moist" or even "super flavorful" to ever describe a good, but basic, local bagel, but there is a magic to them, boiled in malted water prior to baking. There's a satisfying chew, if properly made. Not too hard, not too chewy. There's a little bit of a crispy edge on a good bagel, even without toasting, but not so crispy that you'll break your teeth. A good bagel is art, plain and simple. And the taste, again, even of a basic bagel, like an egg bagel or sesame seed, is one of comfort. The various seeds and cheeses and so forth add a new dimension. None of this applies to Bagel Street's bagels. They're dry without being stale (at least they have non-staleness going for them?) and utterly flavorless. I am not picky, and will happily eat just about any kind of bagel, at any meal, whether it's loaded with everything, or plain. Bagel Street's just make me sad. I have had several now, thinking maybe just that one sesame was a dud. But no. I've had to add salt, and a sprinkling of garlic salt on each one so that I could justify the calories. I might slice the rest and make bagel chips, or turn them into pizzas, because they are very sad indeed as normal bagels. read more

I've been dining at your restaurant for decades. Your bagels are great, but please do not serve them toasted unless you've been requested. From a 68yo bagel connoisseur from Brooklyn: Fresh bagels should never be served toasted. read more

I wish I could give them no stars honestly. The cashier is super rude, she barely wanted to speak to me. The gentleman had an attitude with me asking to use the restroom. My food is cold, bagel not toasted and didn't even have the decency to cut it. There is nothing enjoyable about my food whatsoever, a big waste of money. The quality of food and service is a BIG NO for me. read more

Service is good, bagels are good and the place is clean. You get a good bagel, just like home.

Incredible bagels! These are my favorite bagels that I have found in the area. I strongly suggest the Everything bagel with egg and cheese on it. Soooo delicious. Diners, Drive-ins and Dives have come here and it was definitely well worth their trip. The storefront itself is pretty confusing and if it is busy, you just always feel like you are in someone's way, but the food is so delicious that it is so worth it. read more

Great bagel and lots of cream cheese, both quality. Loved this for a brunch and their assortment of Naked juices is nice.

Absolutely astonishing selection of the freshest tastiest bagels! Also an extremely impressive sandwich- ordered Bagel, lox and cream cheese, the freshest lox and tomato, amazing bagel. This Los Angeles business traveler is extremely impressed with this spot! read more

These bagels are very overpriced for what you get. After waiting about 15 minutes for our order, only to find out it had been put off to the side and my name not called, the bagels were quite a let down. The bagel sandwiches weren't toasted, even though the cashier had confirmed multiple times that we wanted them toasted. The asiago bagel had barely any cheese on top and both bagels were very bland. Definitely better places to go in the area. Not worth the money. read more

I moved to Plainsboro a few months ago and I was so happy to find a near by bagel spot with amazing service and even better bagels! Not to mention it's been on Triple D, Diners drive ins and dives, one of my favorite shows! Their tater tots are crispy and perfect as well! read more

I saw this place on a list of NJs best bagels but I wish I had sorted by recent reviews before deciding to come here. The staff was nice and the space was big and clean; unfortunately it was all downhill from there. I ordered an egg and cheese on a plain bagel with SPK. The entire sandwich was on one side of the bagel and the cheese was barely melted. I also got a French toast bagel with cream cheese, which was sticky and sweet but pretty meh. The bagels themselves were doughy, and squeaky. They almost tasted like those pre packaged bagels you can get at the grocery store. Definitely won't be returning here again. read more

Aside from the long wait (only if you get a sandwich with egg it seems), I am always comforted by my perfectly crispy, stringy doughed bagel. Went with the Asiago Bagel with Scallion cream cheese and bacon bits - would recommend going light on the cream cheese so you can still eat it as a proper sandwich. Otherwise, it would be SO full of cream cheese that I find it too hard to bite into. Wish there was a little more variety with the cream cheese but still really pleased. Very much a grab and go joint read more

I hate that I have to give 1 star. I live and work locally, therefore, I frequent this bagel shop. The bagel selection is better than most other places. To say that almost every order I have placed has been wrong, is being generous. Double toasted, I get barely toasted. Extra butter, I get a small smear. Lightly cooked pork roll, I get char grilled burnt pork roll. Cheddar cheese, no American, I get American cheese. It really doesn't end and it's practically every time. I have brought my food back on many occasions. Not every time I realize until later and not every time I am able to run back in and wait again. This morning I ordered a toasted bagel with butter and lightly cooked pork roll, I repeated lightly cooked 3 times. The bagel was not even warm, barely any butter and the pork roll broke as it was being bit and tasted like charcoal. They also refuse to cut sandwiches in half. This place is a disgrace to bagel shops, and none of the workers pay attention, or even write down the correct information. It's extremely frustrating. The one older lady who works there is also extremely nasty and she has been there the longest but still doesn't take an order correctly. read more

My friend has always claimed that this place has THE best bagels on the planet and yes, the bagels are fantastic, but are they the best? Probably not. I got their egg and cheese sandwich with a toasted onion bagel and we also got a blueberry bagel with a walnut and raisin spread to share. Both were delicious, but I have a soft spot for all things sweet so I especially liked the blueberry one. Their walnut and raisin spread was very unique, not too sweet and had a nice texture to it. I trust that their other spreads would probably be really yummy too. The shop itself has a nice old-school American vibe, which I liked. You can also tell by the steady stream of people in and out of the shop and the constant 10 to 15-person line at the cashier, that this is clearly a well-loved food spot and I totally see why. read more

I think this place is definitely overhyped. Their breakfast sandwiches are mid at best. Definitely needs more flavor.

Very popular bagel place in the Plainsboro shopping center. We always stop in when we visit the dentist's office as we live quite a distance away but used to live here when this space housed a bicycle shop and a video store (remember those?) They have indoor/outdoor seating, serve yourself coffee, lots of bagels and spreads, pancakes, omelettes (including build your own), chips, sandwiches, sodas, bottled water, etc. The usual fair for breakfast, brunch and lunch. I had the Farmers omelette which consisted of 3 eggs, cheese, tomatoes and came with fries and a bagel. I also side ordered two sausage patties. Hubby went for the low fat vegetable cream cheese on a toasted bagel. Take a number and a seat and your food will be brought out to you. Business is always brisk, but the lines keep moving quickly. read more

Have been going to bagel street grill for 25 years. Always a high quality food service. In the past it was also your sweet neighborhood bagel store where the help was friendly and accountable. That has changed. We go every Saturday to Bagel Street and some of the kids that work here have no manners, and no customer service training. Today they left an item out of our order and we had to drive back for it. Totally their mistake. When we went to pick up the missing item, (while the rest of the food got cold), the young girl behind the counter rolled her eyes when we asked her for the bagel. She had been leaning on the counter at the cash register and obviously did not want to be bothered. She has worked there for a few months and is miserable. She should leave and get a job doing something else, and the owner should correct this situation read more

This is the best bagel shop in the area, hands down. The bagels are fresh, the coffee is fine, the sandwiches are well made and the menu is big without being overwhelming. During non-pandemic times the only issue I have with Bagel Street is that you can't see the varieties of bagels that they have because the labels are behind the dining area, which is usually full and the people are in the way of the labels. Also - start making Egg Everything bagels because they're not easy to find and a lot of people like them or love someone who does just saying. I usually get a pork roll egg and cheese on an everything bagel because I'm a Jersey girl and that's how we roll. That said, I do want to try like one bite of their ridiculous burger that was on TV. read more

Ok lets start me stating to say As I write this review I am saying its just eh... my bagel was not crusty on the outside. It was soft outside and in and seasoning only on one side of the bagel. My husband has the one with lox and is a much harder critic than me. As i am typing this he says "tasty bagel and I say "you think?" That is surprising me. So we are from Essex Cty and have several excellent bagel places that fight for the best title. Any you cant go wrong with any of them. We took the 1.5 hour ride to try this place based on Diners, Driveins and Dives. While its not bad, it is not great. Even if lived in the area I would look elsewhere for a bagel more to my liking. However they so have an extensive menu so there is something for everyone read more
