    BEC on a plain bagel
    Jennifer A.

    I was guided by my cousin who lives in the area next time I came to visit I had to try Empire Bagels. On my last day up this year stopped for a late breakfast. It was Sunday after 10am. There was a line and at first it moved fairly quickly. The staff did seem spread a little thin but they were trying. I ordered my usual litmus test of any bagel place, a BEC on a plain bagel. While waiting they do have some tables and bar chairs to sit if you want. Not fancy as it's not a huge place. Very casual. There's a cold case where you can buy drinks and pre-packaged food. After a bit of a wait I got my BEC. It was good. The bacon was nice and crispy. The bagel was also solid. Next time I'm up seeing family will go earlier as they were out of a lot of choices, but they were replenishing some as I was waiting. All in all a good experience and will definitely be back.

    Busy bagel place in a popular plaza. Service tends to be a bit slow, but the bagels are good and the rest of their menu has tasty options. Fair prices and conveniently located.

    I truthfully have mixed feelings about this place. I'd say 4 stars goes exclusively to the bagels and 2 stars for the staff and everything else. Bagels are pretty good. Nothing over the top but for sure the best in Brewster! The little farm housey vibes are pretty cool inside. Overall this place could be better than what it is. What I truly can't get past is the staff. Way too rude way too rushed. I completely understand the rush but no need to rush me into ordering and behind r u d e. Skip the omelette, skip the hash browns. Stick to the bagels and cream cheese. They're made fresh. Not a bad spot to be in this plaza just wish they'd be a bit better. Overall I'd give a 3.5. Not bad. But also not a life changing location.

    Love the counter top seating! Place looks great!

    30 minutes for TWO EGG sandwiches. THIRTY MINUTES. Despite the sandwich being good, the wait is just completely unacceptable.

    Always fresh. They also always have coupons in the clipper magazine. I recommend trying the cream cheese.

    Chomp Chomp is a pretty reliable place. The food is tasty and prepared fresh and price-wise,…read moreit's on par with the other places at the food court in Danbury Fair Mall. They run a lean operation....sometimes just one person manning the grill so you order through a big tablet up front. Choose what you want to eat and drink and the person behind the counter makes it for you. If you put your phone number in when you order, you'll get a text when your food is ready. I usually have chicken when I visit Chomp Chomp and it's always juicy and hot. They have a Chomp Chomp sauce that I really like, it's especially good with fries. Additionally, the brioche buns they use are very high quality. This is a good alternative if you're tired of the other places in the food court.

    We were looking for a quick dinner and saw good reviews for Chomp Chomp. When we pulled in to the…read moreMall, I was still hopeful as I had not been to the mall in a long time. Found a lot of the places in the food court were gone. But Chomp chomp was there. The counter guy was friendly and patient. My husband ordered the pastrami burger and I had the smash burger. Both had the fries and drinks special. The burger was tasty. But the sauce made it very slippery and finally I couldn't finish it. I felt I had hit my greasy limit for the day. My husband devoured his. But ultimately couldn't finish it either. My conclusion is that it wasn't for us. Our stomachs can't take greasy like we use to. Which is a shame, because it did taste good. I suggest you give it a try and see if you like it.
