This is one of my favorite spots for lunch. Yes lunch. Their bagels are really quite good,…read moreparticularly considering how far south we are. But their lunch is phenomenal. Get the "Our Favorite" sandwich on their house made hoagie roll. The hand pulled turkey is perfectly peppery and unctuous and that schmear of cream cheese goes so well with the avocado and fresh toppings. I get it without the onion but otherwise as it comes is perfect.

The new location in Bluffton is beautiful. It's obvious a great deal of time, effort, and…read moreinvestment went into renovating the space. The restaurant feels clean, inviting, and well thought out. One area that could use improvement is signage. The property has a drive-thru lane and drive-thru windows, which naturally led me to assume there was drive-thru service available. After circling the building, I realizing it wasn't operational, not a major issue, but clearer signage would help eliminate confusion for first-time visitors. Once inside, the staff was friendly and welcoming, which is exactly what I've come to expect from Island Bagel. Unfortunately, the food did not live up to the standard I've experienced at their other locations. I ordered the Lowcountry Breakfast Sandwich. The bagel was under-toasted, and the eggs were overcooked. While "stale" may not be the perfect word, the eggs gave the impression that they had been sitting for a while rather than being freshly prepared. The fresh, made-to-order quality I've come to associate with Island Bagel simply wasn't there during this visit. I'm hopeful this experience was an exception rather than the norm. Based on my past experiences with the company, I know they're capable of delivering much better. While this particular visit fell short of my expectations, I would still encourage people to give Island Bagel a try, whether at this location or one of their others. My hope is that this was simply an off day and that future visits better reflect the quality I've come to expect from the brand. Disclaimer: This review is based solely on my first visit to Island Bagel & Deli's new location. It is not necessarily representative of every experience I've had with the company. I've visited other Island Bagel locations in the past and have generally been very impressed. I believe reviews should be honest reflections of a specific experience while also providing constructive feedback that helps both future customers and the business itself.p

The smells in the parking lot carry you to the truck like the cartoon bugs bunny. Ordering with 2nd Generation Owner and Chef, Dom Jr, is quick, Service is fast , the flavors exceed the taunting aroma. Dominic and his family are from South Philly, it does not get any more authentic than this. You would think you are in the heart of Philly eating at Reading Terminal Market. Eat before you rush into and out of the store with your DIY materials and take a little time to sit at the umbrella covered tables. You might go for seconds!

It's refreshing to have a salad that's topped with delicious, healthy, homemade salads (chicken, shrimp, egg or tuna), and not something breaded and fried. I was also happy to see products carried in the market that are keto friendly and gluten free. Cute array of items - homemade treats for your pup; frozen and fresh prepackaged products - vegan, vegetarian, meat and fish. I had a fresh greens salad topped with shrimp salad and avocado and was just what I needed after a full day of travel.

The manager was more than just nice - she was warm, friendly, patient, and kind. She was BUSY. Phone calls, long line, deliveries, and she handled them with ease and without a drop of sweat. She was kind to every person she spoke to, including her staff, and I love that leadership. The women who brought out our food and snagged our dishes were also kind, funny, and they just knew how to best make that restaurant sing. People smiled at them because they've come here 100 times, and each time they were treated with kindness and familiarity. The FOOD. The value for dollar is HIGH here. $10.99 for a monster meatball sub with delicious meatballs and plenty of tomato sauce and cheese just melting all over this delicious sandwich. Every cheesy melty bite was amazing, per my kiddo, and when he couldn't finish it, my husband happily finished the sandwich down to the last bite. We got the Philly sandwich on a great gluten free bun and the Power Bowl with shrimp. Both were WONDERFUL! The Philly y'all. ALL DAY. The peppers, the deliciously seasoned beef, the great bun, all fabulous! The Power Bowl was filling, fresh, and I loved all the plump shrimp! I also appreciated that they put the dressing on the side! Cappy's Allergen Friendly Bakery sells their cookies here, and do NOT sleep on the Iced Oatmeal cookie. Some may hesitate because it is soy, dairy, nut, and gluten free, but that may have been one of the best cookies I've eaten ever. Perfectly balanced and chewy, not overiced, and the cinnamon in there was perfect. I savored that cookie for as long as possible. Cap all this off with some unsweet mint tea, and perfection! We will absolutely come here again - I am so impressed by the people and the food, and I cannot wait to see their continued success!
