    Pretty underwhelming food for the high price. We got two bagels (one veggie cream cheese and one with meat) and a coffee for $35. Neither of the sandwiches had any flavour, except maybe the strange vinegar taste on the cream cheese. Both bagels had a hint of coconut oil which was off-putting. The employees were very nice. Clean place. Outdoor seating was good on a warm day.

    Can't speak on the service or overall vibe of the place as food was delivered to me by my friend. I went simple, pastrami sandwich, mustard on the side. Hands down THE BEST PASTRAMI I have had in a long time. So tender and perfect for my delicate stomach. NOT salty.. but full of flavor. Not dry... juicy! And the best part... not fatty!!! I picked this sandwich apart to actually get through eating half... and only one sliver of fat... amazing quality!!! The mustard was sooo good and the accompanying pickle just added to the excitement. How this place has been here so long and I haven't tried it is beyond me... but now they have a new customer! Up next I have to try the Lox.. but for now 5 stars on the pastrami!

    Frankel's had been on my to try list for a long time, and I finally checked it out this past weekend when I spent a day in Greenpoint. I got their Frankel's #1 Bagel (pastrami salmon, scallion cream cheese, and dill cucumber salad on a poppy bagel), which was great. The cucumber salad kept it a little light - a great combination with the pastrami lox, cream cheese, and bagel. Frankel's is really cute inside - just a few barstools in the store windows. I enjoyed eating my bagel and reading my book in the sunlight of their shop. And the service was great - friendly and fast. I'll be back, because I want to try all of their other bagels... Smoked salmon tartare? Heirloom tomato bagel? And I have to try their classic - pastrami, egg, and cheese, which looks incredible but I wasn't quite up to on my visit last weekend. So, yeah, I'll be back.

    Got the heirloom tomato sandwich on an everything bagel. The toppings were 5 stars but the bagel itself was 3 stars (maybe 4 to some but hey, this is NYC). Cute place, packed on a Saturday morning!

    Anita's hot brisket sandwich

    Came here today and it was very crowded inside, a bit chaotic, but luckily the line moved fast. I ordered the Anita's hot brisket sandwich. I was hoping that the griddled bread would be crispier, but unfortunately it was soggy even right when I got it. The meat itself was alright but could have been a bit more flavorful. The sandwich was a decent size, but not quite enough to fill me for lunch. Overall, it was definitely a bit pricey (about $26 including tax) and I probably wouldn't come back.

    Frankel's came highly recommended from several people and I'm glad I got to try! They have an adorable storefront featuring lots of cute little products. Their special of the day was egg everything, and I'm glad I tried it! It may be because of the egg, but the bagel was a big flakier than I am used to. Definitely a solid bagel place and

    I have been to try Frankel's for the past five years and I now finally got the chance! The deli is at the corner, and it has some indoor and outdoor seating. There are lots of branded decor inside, and overall has a welcoming atmosphere. When I walked in, the cashier greeted me and I placed my order. I got a Pastrami Ruben, sauce on the side, with lettuce, tomato, spinach, and onion. The food came relatively quick, and I sat down to enjoy my meal. The sandwich was incredible! It was so warm and balanced with all the vegetables. Every bite was delicious and the pastrami was not too salty. The staff overall were so nice, and I had a beautiful time. I will definitely come back again!

    Heirloom tomato bagel

    The heirloom bagel is hands down the most refreshing guilt-free bagel I've had in a really long time. Such fresh ingredients and both aesthetically tasting and beautiful to look at. I find a vegetarian sammy to be rather sacrilegious but this was a showstopper, and far exceeded any other pastrami or lox sandwiches I've tried in the past. A+

    Relatively small establishment however staff is huge on courtesy. I tried their famous hot pastrami on rye with mustard and boy I was simply blown away. Each bite was super tender, juicy and so flavorful. I was also impressed the rye bread did not fall apart easily. Definitely a must visit and it's definitely a top five pastrami sandwich in NYC.

    Came to grab a bagel sandwich for a quick brunch in Greenpoint and was excited to try the Frankel's #1 with pastrami salmon, dill cucumber salad and cream cheese. I opted for the tofu scallion cream cheese which is vegan for a lighter option. Loved everything about this sandwich, the everything bagel I got was well seasoned and nicely toasted. The pastrami lox is flavorful and there's a ton of cucumber salad to balance out the carbs. The tofu cream cheese in particular is such a nice substitute for a lighter bagel sandwich and it's surprisingly creamy as well! I also grabbed a slice of their chocolate babka for $4 which made for a nice sweet treat. They also sell full babka loads but the slice is more than enough to satisfy any chocolate craving. Pro tip: order online for a faster pick up. We ended up waiting 20 min on a busy weekend morning to get our sandwiches after ordering.

    Nothing hits like a Brooklyn bagel. I've tried most of the bagel offerings in Boston and, as much as I love Boston in relation to NYC, there's just no comparison. The lox and cream cheese on an everything bagel at Frankel's was phenomenal. They have a bunch of other options, including whitefish and the breakfast/egg varieties, but I always go with the classic as a true measure of a bagel place. When we came on a weekend morning, there was zero wait (maybe everyone was huddled for shelter in the line for Radio Bakery). We got the classic, with lox, dill cream cheese, tomato. The dill cream cheese was incredible, no notes. Same thing with the bagel. Overall, an excellent bagel sandwich, the kind I think about wistfully when I'm in Boston. Seriously, this particular section of Greenpoint is hitting it out of the park with the sheer amount of amazing food choices. Split this with my husband when the only correct choice was to have gotten our own. We ate this standing up and got the dill cream cheese all over our hands and faces. It was great, 10/10, would do again. Just down the block, there's a cute little park by the water to eat your bagel in.

    Pastrami, egg, and cheese
    Albert H.

    Who can resist a pastrami, egg, and cheese on a roll. Well, not I! And that is why I frequent Frankel's Deli when I want to indulge in a carby and meaty treat. Don't tell my cardiologist but this sandwich is well worth some arterial calcification. The pastrami is thick cut and super moist and tender. I did a mobile order and this beast of a breakfast sandwich was waiting for me at the counter with a smile. The individual that was serving the mobile order pick up like was super friendly and added that cherry on top that will make me continue supporting this local business forever. Thanks to Frankel's for producing a quality product consistently and with such a warm and friendly approach!

    The Frankel's

    Beware, absolute bagel royalty resides here. I ordered the Frankel's on an everything bagel which featured scallion cream cheese, lox, and pickled cucumbers. And literally, I sat up straighter after the first bite. Like my posture knew I was in the presence of greatness. Everything was perfect: the bagel had that chewy/crisp balance, the lox was buttery and rich, and the pickled cukes gave it the perfect little zing. It was a full-blown bagel awakening. Also, hot tip-they sell day-old bagels at a major discount. So you can grab your glorious $15 masterpiece and snag a bag of backup bagels for later.

I waited for about 45 minutes, while waiting I picked up my chips and a white peach ginger ale. I also talked to the girl in front and she explained that you can get your sandwhich on a hero or roll. I ordered a chopped honey turkey with onions, pickles, lettuce and mayo. The guy who made my sandwich was soo friendly and patient. I just put my trust in him to hook it up lol. He also asked if I wanted to add the chips and I did. Overall my sandwhich was better the next day after it firmed up. The flavor was good but the texture was soft, mushy and just not what I want in a turkey sandwhich. It ran me about 12.00 and it was worth the experience.

The food: Roast Pork Special- Fried Eggplant, Provolone, Broccoli Rob- The texture of the pork came off a bit dry, the eggplant was good but kinda gets lost in the sandwich so if I literally had it on it's own I would have appreciated it more but who eats fried eggplant by itself? The rob was nice it added a nice crunch but didn't offer that much flavor. Giuseppe Special- Eggplant parm, meatballs, melted mozzarella. I couldn't get over how soggy the bread was. It was like wet paper towel to me. Soggy bread and everything kinda tasting the same made it underwhelming. Nicky Special- It just tasted like salad in between bread. There was so much veg, that was the main thing I remember in that sandwich.
