Interior wall
Antwan S.

The restaurant is very small and filled with wall to wall people. The bagels were honestly some of the best I've ever tasted from a bagel spot before. The raisin was full with golden raisins but they were not sweet which loved . The honey wheat everything bagel was a nice spin on the everything bagel. The Asiago cheese one was ( perfect ) . The service was very quick for the amount of people that were waiting . My only gripe is this location is small but convenient to the mag mile . Definitely check it out when in the CHI.

Bacon Egg & Cheese on Asiago and Lox Spread on Everything
Miranda L.

Gotham Bagels has a couple of locations around the downtown Chicago area. My husband and I happened to stop in for a hardy breakfast before exploring Michigan Avenue. The inside connects to the Gino's East next door but had enough seating for about 15ish people. The staff takes orders quickly and turns over food within 5-10 minutes. I ordered the Bacon Egg & Cheese sandwich on an Asiago Bagel. The egg was definitely the most prominent flavor. I wished the bacon was a little more evenly laid out and a bit more included. The sandwich itself was a bit more greasy than I was expecting as well but portion was huge! My husband got the Everything bagel with lox spread and thoroughly enjoyed his. This was a nice bagel stop and while it doesn't rank in my top choices, it was still great to enjoy!

Stopped by here for a quick breakfast while near the Magnificent Mile and it was solid. The cashier was friendly and made the experience easy from the start. I ordered the traditional tuna fish on an everything bagel, and they were definitely generous with the tuna, the portion was great and the flavor really hit the spot. The bagel itself was good, though I do wish it had a bit more of that everything seasoning to really bring it together. It also came with a spicy pickle spear, which was a delicious bonus. Everything came out quickly, which was perfect since I was on the go. Overall, a tasty and convenient breakfast stop!

Best bagel I've had since I've been in New York. And everything bagel with vegan scallion cream cheese.
Maralyn O.

What a lovely spot! Stopped in after a doctors appointment since it is so close to all the medical facilities in Streeterville. Was amazed at the vegan choices and I had an everything bagel with vegan scallion cream cheese that was delicious. The staff was delightful. One commented about my dress and another was dancing around to the music and everyone was smiling and happy. How wonderful after you just had a brutal doctor appointment to experience this.

Sausage egg Cheddar
Lan N.

I got the sausage, egg, and cheddar bagel. Got plain bagel with it. The sausage is a thick patty. It's sooo good! Well seasoned and got that little kick of spice to it. Bagel has a really nice chew. It came with a pickle. Very sour and a little salty for me. But I def would go back to get other bagel options!

The interior is pretty small and there are some seats, but I assume this location is primarily for takeout. The line went by really fast even though it went out the door. I found my bagel to be 18 dollars, even though it had a lot of fillings, I didn't think it was worth the price. The cream cheese was too salty. The bagel itself was really good though, next time I would just stick to a bagel and a schmear

OMFG Bagel sandwich on an Everything Bagel.
Ken R.

This was exactly what I was looking for, for breakfast. I had an OMFG bagel sandwich, and got a couple bagels to go, which were about the size of my head. Everything was tasty, and the price was pretty decent for downtown Chicago. I would definitely go back there again. It's a quaint little shop with a lot of takeout orders and a few tables to enjoy a dine-in experience.

A pretty damn good bagel if I do say so. Not the cheapest in town but actually large enough and really fresh enough to make it work the roughly 17 bucks I paid for a breakfast bagel. Fresh out of the oven bagel and quality ingredients on the sammy made it worth the price. It was quickly prepared too. Even the bagel and a smear i tried on another day was fresh with a huge smear and worth the 6 bucks. Sorry I have no pics of my sammy to post it really was so good i ate it all before I had a chance to take a pic. Try them out they're worth it.

Spicy sausage
Sagarika G.

Gotham Bagels is such a gem right off the Mag Mile. It's a cute, cozy shop with just enough indoor seating and a super quick in-and-out setup--perfect for busy mornings in the city. They've got a huge lineup of bagel sandwiches, tons of bagel and cream cheese options, and a full range of drinks. The staff is incredibly friendly and helpful, even when the weekday morning rush hits hard! I ordered the spicy sausage, fried egg, and cheddar on a toasted Asiago bagel with a smear of veggie cream cheese and... WOW. The bagel was perfectly done--crispy and well-toasted on the outside, soft and fluffy inside. The sausage, egg, and cheese combo was phenomenal, and they didn't overdo the cream cheese, which I really appreciated. The size is massive for the price too--total NY-style bagel vibes! Definitely one of my go-to spots when I'm craving a legit bagel in the city. Highly recommend!

Stopped by for a breakfast bagel. Picked up a coffee and pastrami & egg bagel. You can choose your bagel (I got egg everything) and doneness of the fried egg. There was a bit of a line at 8a on a Thursday but orders were taken fairly quickly and sandwiches came out fast. The pastrami was nice and salty, though the bagel was also a bit salty too. It paired nicely with the hard fried egg though so I felt satisfied. The pickle closed it well.

The entrance

Scrumptious, fresh massive everything bagel piled high with salmon cream cheese, arugula and capers. Rain, snow or shine, there will likely be a line, but fast efficient service in an open brightly lit ambiance.

Brighton Beach on egg everything bagel
Aaron A.

While Chicago isn't known for its bagels, you can find the exception to the rule at Gotham Bagels. I ordered two Brighton Beach sandwiches. One on a standard everything bagel and one on an egg everything bagel. Both were great, but the egg was by far my favorite. It had enough textural integrity to hold the ingredients, but still soft enough to not ruin your mouth! The quality and freshness of the ingredients provided the perfect breakfast! If you're looking for a good bagel, make sure to stop by Gotham Bagels.

Lox & Cream Cheese Bagel
Joel Jr. M.

Stopped by Gotham Bagels after seeing it on my TikTok and really made me hyped. I went for the Lox and Cream Cheese bagel and my girlfriend got the Egg & Bacon sandwich. The staff were super nice and fast, so points for that. But... for the bagel itself? It was just a little dry and kind of bland. It was sad as I really wanted to love this place, but I've had plenty of other Chicago bagels that hit way harder. This was certainly one of those Tik Tok hype vs reality situations and the reality is to skip this place.

Stopped here while visiting Chicago. After sifting through Yelp, we found this place. Our friend,…read morewho is a local, mentioned that she'd been there once and it was pretty good. The first thing I noticed walking in was the ambiance. Nice decor with a city hotspot feel. We had a teen and tween with us and both found something on the menu. Most of us ordered bowls with sesame sauce which were delicious. We each ordered different meats with our bowls and no complaints. My son had a crispy chicken sandwich which he devoured and my daughter had a quesadilla which they prepared especially for her without any sauce. Everything was tasty. We had a problem with our order when my daughter found a small piece of plastic wrapper in her food. We told our waiter and he immediately informed management. The manager came over and offered a new plate but my daughter was fine having the current plate. So instead, she comped her meal and gave her a choice of dessert with a gigantic milk. Despite the minor glitch, this place deserves 5 stars for the way they handled this issue. We feel they went above and beyond to remedy the situation. If only all restaurant management were like this. If we are ever in Chicago again, we will be back.

Y'all... oh my gosh I finally tried Doc B's Restaurant + Bar in the Gold Coast and BABYYYY... the…read morefood was AMAZING--and honestly, pretty affordable too I'm lowkey mad I didn't get pictures, but listen... it was so good I couldn't even pause to take one I ordered the Cajun chicken club sandwich with sweet potato fries, and let me tell you... those fries? 10/10. No notes. The sandwich had candied bacon on it with this perfect sweet flavor, and it normally comes with honey Dijon--but I don't do Dijon, so I swapped it for this garlic sauce ‍ And when I say that garlic tanginess mixed with the sweet candied bacon... whew. Chef's kiss. Absolute perfection. My boyfriend got the steak wok bowl with corn, broccoli, brown rice, and some other veggies--and I definitely stole a few bites It was SO good. Like... flavorful, fresh, just everything. The whole vibe? Perfect for a lunch date. The ambiance was cute, relaxed, and just right And I loved that they serve room temperature water (because ice? not my thing ‍) But let's talk about the real star--our waiter Eli He was AMAZING. Super personable, funny, and just a whole vibe. He had the cutest red cat-eye nails and burgundy hair accents--like, style on point He told us he manages both the Gold Coast and River North locations, so I'm definitely hoping we run into him again. And when me and my boyfriend were holding hands at the end, he goes, "Aww this is so cute. I'm not jealous though" we all cracked up. Just made the experience even better. Listen... 5 stars is not enough. It's just not. If you've been thinking about going--THIS IS YOUR SIGN. Go. I promise you won't regret it

Food: one of the most consistent BBQ restaurants in Chicago! The food is flavorful, moist, and well…read moreseasoned. Oh, I almost forgot to mention the Sunday Brunch...OMGGGG. Go there once and you'll make a Sunday ritual for the boys and the girlies especially during football season . Afterwards, enjoy a nice cigar from next door. Service: The service is amazing! I've been a patron for over 15 years. Even after relocating to Virginia, returning to Chicago twice a year, I dine here at least twice per visit and bring my husband's favorite back each time. Everyone is always smiling, very knowledgeable of the menu and the "Master Bartenders" make the best cocktails. They are extremely knowledgeable of their extensive bourbon collection. Honestly, one would assumed they worked for a distillery. Its so great to see staff help and support one another. In addition, they immediately acknowledge customers when come into the restaurant. They make me and my bestie feel right at home. Ambiance: The Ambiance is inviting, comfortable, and more importantly, you'll feel right at home. The summer outdoor seating makes you feel like you're at the best backyard BBQ you'll never want to end. It's important to recognize a good business who deserves to be in business. I can't wait to return for some good ole lip smacking BBQ

Thank you for the homey welcome and superb service during the holidays. Everything came out hot and delicious, and we truly appreciate the time you took to be attentive to our needs. Thank you for working the extra hours during the holidays, and a special thank-you to the kitchen for preparing the food quickly and beautifully. The BBQ ribs, mac and cheese, coleslaw, and mashed potatoes were all done very well- filling and absolutely delicious. Everything was on point and more!! Thank you so very much!

Great lunch/breakfast spot with fast service and simple/fresh sandwiches…read more The oven roasted turkey sandwich was great, tasted like something my grandma would make me (in a good way). Will be back.

I really want to like them so much more than I do. If there were a continuum from hipster deli…read more(think Mile End) to traditional deli (Manny's, 2nd Avenue, etc) Schneider would on the hipster side of center. Two of us shared a half pound pastrami on rye with a side of hash browns. The rye was pretty decent but the pastrami was sliced far too thick and the meat was lean. That is not a good thing when it comes to pastrami and I attribute the lean meat to the deli catering to its hipster-ish audience. Although the flavor was decent, the sandwich was dry and difficult to eat. We disagreed on the generously sized pickle. One of us thought the flavor was just right, the other not so much. We both agreed on the hash browns. It's a no-go. They were well fried but entirely unseasoned. I understand the lack of schmaltz but there was no onion or salt or anything else. Waffle House has nothing to worry about. (IYKYK) Service was fast and polite. The space is tiny, but it works. Prices are okay for this area but if you want traditional deli in Chicago, go to Manny's.
