Have you ever encountered a person that you felt was really needing to fight with you before you even opened your mouth? The owner was this guy on Christmas Eve no less and frankly as a women in her late 50's I was really uncomfortable. I honestly would stay clear of this place unless you keep it very very simple and don't question the guy in any way.. If the order is wrong or takes forever? Trust me. Just eat it and smile and then walk away verrry slowly. Nasty mgt response to follow may tell you everything you need to know. read more

Fantastic bagels as we have come out to Indiana from the East Coast and bagels really can't compare. This is the best I have found out here.

Since I am from New Jersey going to college in Indiana, I am always looking for a bagel that comes anywhere near bagels from New Jersey/New York. When I came along this place while doing a project, I thought I had to go try it since it is advertised as a New York style bagel. When I went to try it, it met the expectations that I wanted when going to get a bagel that other places in Indianapolis have not met. I liked the vibes combined with the steamed bagels I thought it was a great place. It is slightly far from where I live, but I still think it is worth a trip every once in a while. I do like how they also have a food truck, but I feel like it is not advertised as to where it usually is because I have never seen their food truck anywhere. As far as bagels go, it does not get much better than this. It felt like I was at home in New Jersey, hopefully the people of Indianapolis can learn from Bearded Bagels about how to make bagels the right way. read more

Breakfast bagels are craveable. Big too. Always great service. Give this small business some love. Lots of bearded eye candy. If that's your thing. No judgement. read more

I attended the Conner Crossing Freedom Fest and the Bearded Bagel was one of the food trucks that attended the event. The staff was very friendly. They have a solid menu. So, I ordered a bacon egg and cheese bagel. There was a line with about a 15 minute wait. When I received my order, my bagel was hot. As I took a bite, the bagel was semi- hard on the outside and soft on the inside, the bacon was crispy and egg was fully cooked. This is exactly what I ordered! It was so tasty, I ordered a second sandwich. I Highly suggest giving the Bearded Bagel food truck a try, you will not be disappointed! They have definitely earned their five star! I will dine at the Bearded Bagel again! They cater to people with disabilities. read more

This is right next to the 96th Street Sam's Club. I stopped by with my two teenage boys. They love bagels so we wanted to check this place out. The sandwiches were delicious!!! I am dreaming of going back. I got the Hangover helper and it was so good. The bulldog breakfast was also good too. Definitely recommend. The service was excellent as well!! read more

I am back to tell you to get the Hangover Helper with bacon jam. It will, quite literally, be the best thing you've ever eaten. Messy but rewarding. Take advantage of the napkins. Lol We ate in this time and it was so nice to sit at the front bar and watch the world go by. Not too loud, loved hearing the sounds of the kitchen. It was an entirely new set of staff on this trip and the person at the front was very gracious and very passionate about their bacon (as they should be, it's good stuff). This is a permanent stop for me and my husband any time we travel that way now. read more

Best breakfast bagel sandwich I've ever had! Staff was also very friendly. Will definitely go back.

Do you ever have those mornings where you just want comfort food, but like, the breakfast kind? THIS is what the Bearded Bagel specializes in. I brought my crew for a pre-soccer meal so I ordered a LOT of food. I will say, it was jumpin in there, standing room only, but it was a Saturday morning and there was an event that week. It was much more laid back when I returned two weeks later, don't judge. They've got all the breakfast faves, on a bagel, and tater tots. I've written entire reviews about my love of tots, so you should know this was exciting. They give you a ginormous portions so share if you've got more than one person, or gorge yourself if you're flying solo. In addition to the tots, we grabbed the Doctor T, the Slammin Sammy, and the Bulldog Breakfast. All were delicious, with gooey cheese and fresh ingredients. The only thing I would change is ordering mine on jalapeño to give it a little kick, I like it spicy! Several delivery drivers came in while we were waiting, so if it's a busy day (like a Saturday morning before soccer) it might be a good idea to order ahead and pick up. read more

Today was my first time trying the Bearded Bagel at the Fishers Farmers Market and I was so impressed! It was quick, fresh, and so yummy! I didn't even know that they had a storefront location, so I'm excited to try more sometime! read more

I've been here a few times and today had the Italian bagel. It was a meat lover's spicy delight. Gotta say, my favorite remains the traditional lox on an onion bagel with tomato, onion & capers. Staff are efficient & friendly. They are well informed about the menu and ya gotta love that they get fresh bagels daily from Bagel Fair in Nora. read more

Wasn't aware about this amazing place before!! The breakfast bagels are soooo delicious! I got the hipster bagel which had cream cheese, tomatoes,cucumber , lettuce! Very basic but super tasty and filling !! It was worth the 20 min drive from downtown! Definitely recommend this breakfast bagel place on 96th street! read more

They started with a food truck and now have a Brick and Mortar. Going down 96th I noticed their new location. I had never had the pleasure of trying them out so I whipped in. It was crowded inside. They seem to have a cult following! I decided on the Roger That #12. This decision was hard because there was so much to choose from. I was not disappointed. There was plenty of Turkey and Toppings. The Bagel was delicious! Can't wait to go back. read more

I stopped in for breakfast before going to Sam's on a Sunday morning. I asked for cream cheese on the side of my everything. When I got to the car, of course, it was not on the side, nor were there many seasons on the bagel. The funny part is the cashier gave me a look when I did not tip. read more

I went in this morning and got a delicious Slammin Sammy! It was so fresh and delicious and still very hot by the time I got to my destination. I had driven by many times but today was the day to stop! The service was great and I got a lot of info for our office catering and what all they offer! The store is perfect for a breakfast or lunch meeting and they have so many options! I will definitely be back and refer people from my office since it's so close! Thanks for providing yummy bagels!! read more

My friends suggested I try bearded bagel because they know how much I love my steamed bagel sandwiches! I ordered the sorority girl sandwich but I'm pretty sure the mustard was left off unfortunately, which I think would have added a lot of flavor. But I did like the sandwich overall! Be warned they are very messy! This would not be the type of meal you would want to eat on the go. I typically opt for the lunch type bagel sandwiches but my friend got the sausage egg and cheese and loved it. I will have to come back and try another! Also the cinnamon rolls they had near the check out looked amazing. read more

Moist bagels? Sandwiches end up being moist. It's all just very... moist. I haven't tried anything else so it may be excellent--but my experience just doesn't lend itself for the desire to return. read more

I've been wanting to try this place and today was the day! Walked in and the man in the front was nice and waited for me to choose. I ordered the Vince Vaughn to go. Kinda worried it wouldn't be as good when I go home to Carmel because of drive. But omg it was delish! The bagel was still hot and cheese was oozing out ! Soo good that I forgot to take a pic before I devoured half of it. This one had bacon, ham,egg, and cheese! It was seasoned really good. The bagel was super soft and easy to chew FYI. Yum! Can't wait to try other ones!! read more

My mouth is still watering from the food they dished out! Dr T bagel breakfast sammie had every bit of flavor a breakfast sammie deserves. And all the cheesiness. Do not, I repeat, do not skip out on the B&G's Bearded Bagel cooks up. A bagel place with fire B&G's, yes please and thank you!!! read more

Just stopped into Bearded Bagel for the first time today (it's located in the strip in front of Sam's Club on 96th st). Easy to pop into and exit Eastbound onto 96th on the way out. I lived in NY for the first 27 years of my life and have had a contentious time finding bagels for the decade+ that I have lived here. Bearded Bagel is easily the best I have had in this city and really delivered a nice surprise. Bagels can be steamed and they offer a nice menu of breakfast sandwiches. Reminded me of Bagel Ripple Deli a little bit in terms of menu but that is a good thing. I ordered an everything bagel steamed with veggie cream cheese and it was excellent. I will return, glad to see the craft of bagel making getting some midwest love. read more

Finally made it here after weeks of seeing pictures and reading great reviews. My breakfast did not disappoint! First of all, the selection here is great, there's truly a bagel for everyone, even veggie options! I chose the sorority sister, and subbed a jalapeño bagel for the plain one it normally comes with. It was absolutely delicious and super filling! They have coffee or other drinks available for purchase also. I can't wait to get back to try the silver Fox, I just love a bagel with lox, capers, and onions! If you've been debating on this place, just go! read more

This was the best Breakfast sandwich I've ever had!!! I consider myself a connoisseur of bagels and breakfast I travel for work and have tried many places. This was by far the best sandwich. It was so good I went back the next day to get the exact same thing. I will also make sure my hotel is close to this place so I can get it each time I come back. The bagel was soft, the cheese was melts and gooey, the bacon was cooked perfectly and was the correct thickness for this sandwich. I just need to go back and try their lunch sandwiches next. read more

I've just relocated to Indy from Los Angeles so I decided to try out the bagels at a few locations. Granted my standards are a bit high but So far the customer service at every location I tried seems to be subpar at best. And there always seems to be a disconnect of sorts. The woman at the bearded bagel who took my very simple order messed it up during two different visits. I simply ordered a bagel not toasted with cream cheese and two additional Bagels not cut with nothing on them. The first time I received my bagel with the cream cheese on the side. And the second time with the same order I received three toasted Bagels with cream cheese. She seems to be very overwhelmed even though there was no one else in the store. She also blamed her mistake on the cooks. The selection of Bagels is extremely limited. Where are the Sesame bagels? The cinnamon raisin? The cream cheese is good but the bagels are pretty underwhelming. I think I'll stick with Einstein's and hope that the customer service improves. read more

I had to come back and try the Silver Fox. Lox and all the fixins on an everything bagel (in my case). Delish! Please come by the Bearded Bagel! It's the kind of place we need to support. read more

Saw this opportunity pop up in my "reviews" spot & had to chime in about our first experience at Bearded Bagel, 2 weeks ago. Probably was the best breakfast sandwich I've ever had! It was incredible, so delicious! They must stream the bagel, before adding all the other toppings, because it was hot & amazing! The pepper jack cheese was a melty, gooey perfection compliment to the crispy bacon, egg & everything bagel. I wish I had one right now, because my mouth is watering, thinking about this one again, haha! Will definitely be back again, to try a different type of breakfast sandwich. read more

The food was amazing got a bagel with cream cheese and they put a lot of cream cheese on it which I loved! The employees were super friendly as well. Would definitely recommend read more

The tots were deep fried perfection. My husband had The Italian. It would have been better with less sauce. I had the hangover but I substituted sausage for bacon and it was sooooo cheesy and soft and good. The cheese was flavorful and good, not just cheep fake cheese. It's almost too much cheese... Nah! The employees were super nice and the place was clean. We will be back. read more

Really good food and great owners!! The store was very clean and all the workers very helpful! Bagel was the bomb!

I got the biscuits and gravy. while i did like the environmentally friendly packaging the packaging did cause a lot of condensation causing the biscuits to become twice as soggy, then they would have been. In my opinion the biscuits and gravy weren't the best, there was not much flavor, and the sausage was cut into bigger pieces than usual, and they were quite hard. read more

The bagels and cream cheese I ordered were delicious and very efficient with my online order.

Finally was able to stop in and I definitely over ordered. I got the Vince Vaughn but on an everything bagel. Probably the best bagel sandwich I've had. Loads of flavor and wrapped perfectly so I could enjoy it when I got all the way home. Still piping hot. The only thing that makes it just great, is the biscuits and gravy. They were loaded with egg cheese and bacon on top. The flavor of the gravy and perfect biscuits. Outstanding flavor and a huge portion. The bagel itself filled me up, for most of thing it would be too much to finish. I'd also recommend half order of biscuits and gravy because there is so much. I can't wait to try more options read more

My new fav breakfast stop! Great menu for breakfast OR lunch! I had a delicious, freshly toasted bagel - Yum! The customer behind me was raving about the coffee.

My first visit was great. I was greeted with a warm friendly smile from the girl behind the counter. She helped me choose a really good sandwich. I ordered the Hot Rod. Huge sandwich, a little messy, but thats why you have napkins. The sandwich was really good. Could not finish the whole thing at one sitting. The 4 stars are from my next visit. I go in and wait about 5 minutes til the man in the kitchen sees me. He comes out with no smile, no greeting. Just a "what can I get for you". I order a Plain Ol' Perry and modified it to my liking. It was not as good as the other sandwich. It may be due to my modifications. As I wait, another person comes in. He gets greeted. Still no smile. He is asked if he wants tots or chili. I was not aware of their having chili. I would have gotten a cup had I known. I'm feel this man may have been having a bad day. He should try to smile at customers, though. Being a new small businees, a smile goes a long way to keep people coming back. I will probably try this place again to try a different sandwich. read more
