    1.30.24 First time ordering from LJ's. They are in the same complex as my office and employees often go here. Having a salad isn't typically my first preference for a tasty lunch, but I generally like Chicken Caesar Salad so thought it was a good choice. Sadly I was mistaken. The chicken was dry, croutons were mushy, not enough dressing and the flavor wasn't great. I should have went for a sandwich, but was trying to be healthy since I was having an unhealthy dinner. Maybe next time I'll stick to one of their sandwiches and have a better experience. The upside of my experience was that I was able to place my order online and it was ready when I came to pick it up.

    I can't believe I'm just finding out about this place. I literally work right next to it. My co worker told me about this spot and now I'm hooked. They serve breakfast and lunch and it's busy. It's busy for a reason. At first if you drive up you won't see it, there is a door in the back where you can get inside from but there is a walkway through some small bushes. Haha you can go inside the office building to get here too but the back way is easier. They have so many options to choose from. They have snacks, muffins,drinks. Sandwiches and pancakes. This is a one stop shop. I got their tuna wrap and it was good. My coworkers rave about their Ruban sandwich and go there weekly just for that. Customer service is top notch! This is one of those sneaky deli shops that you have to try out! No regret!

    Whether it's breakfast or lunch, LJ takes great care of his customers with fresh, tasty & cheap food.

    Love LJ'S sandwiches. The breakfast isn't all that great. The waffle was soggy. They deliver so that is a definite plus.

I really liked that the condiments came separately so each guest could schmeer as much or as little as they wanted. (Or in my case, purist that I am, avoid altogether). There was also a bountiful assortment of pickles, so necessary for rounding out the sandwich with a nice acidic snap! I recommend.

We were seated immediately and had water brought to our table. Menu was extensive, with overstuffed sandwich classics like Reubens and clubs, salads and classic fare like knishes and lox. They also serve breakfast all day. I had the grilled veggie wrap. It came with homestyle potato chips. My companion had a tuna melt (solid albacore) with pepper jack cheese on an English muffin (also with chips). Both portions were huge. The veggies were still crunchy but cooked thoroughly (zucchini, squash, peopers and onions) with red pepper hummus stuffed in a huge burrito style spinach tortilla. Comfort food done well. As a bonus there was a pickle bar of half sour, full sour pickles, cornichons, sauerkraut and pickled peppers. Favorites were the half sour pickles and sauerkraut (went well with the wrap). Great meal!

They were crispy on the outside and perfectly cooked in the middle. These were some of the best egg rolls I have ever had. You have to try this place out! When you do come, they have official parking sports, a little outside eating areas with five tables, and you order at the counter. It's in an industrial area and there are plenty of signs so you know where they are. It was pretty nice eating at one of their picnic tables with artificial grass.

There are many traditional American and Latin menu choices, well prepared food, reasonable prices, and gracious staff. The spacious, clean, properly equipped, and completely stocked restrooms way down the long hall are especially reassuring compared to many other restaurants.

The…read morerestaurant was clean, the staff was welcoming, and the service throughout the meal was friendly and attentive. We ordered the Big Eaters Platter, the Corned Beef Hash & Eggs, and shared a Nutella Crepe with Strawberries for dessert. The portions were generous, especially the Big Eaters Platter, making it a solid choice if you're coming in hungry. The corned beef hash was decent, and the Nutella crepe with fresh strawberries was a nice sweet finish to the meal. That said, I thought the food was just okay for the price. Nothing we ordered was bad, but nothing really stood out enough to make me want to come back. The quality was solid, but I left feeling like there are better breakfast options in the area for the same price point. If you work nearby or are visiting one of the surrounding medical offices or hospitals, I could definitely see this being a convenient spot for a quick breakfast or lunch. However, as someone visiting the area, I don't think it's a place I'd go out of my way to return to. Overall, friendly service and a clean restaurant helped make for a pleasant experience, but the food didn't quite justify the price. A good neighborhood café if you're close by, but probably not a destination breakfast spot.

    Here's a polished Yelp Elite-style version with a natural, engaging tone:…read more Bethesda Bagels in Rockville is hands-down one of the best spots for bagel sandwiches in the area. My go-to is the sausage and scrambled egg on a multigrain bagel; it never disappoints. You can actually watch them making fresh bagels, and it shows. The texture is spot on, perfectly chewy on the inside with just the right amount of crisp on the outside. Everything tastes fresh, and service is quick, even during busy times. The staff is always friendly, which makes the experience even better. Their cream cheese is excellent, too rich, flavorful, and a noticeable step up from the typical grocery store options. They also carry cookies and other treats from local vendors, which are definitely worth trying if you have a sweet tooth. If you're craving a solid bagel sandwich, this is the place to go. Bonus: free parking makes it an easy stop.

    6/29/26: Bethesda Bagels is a solid option if you're looking for a filling breakfast or lunch, but…read moreI don't think it quite lives up to all the hype. I ordered the BLAT bagel sandwich, which came with bacon, lettuce, avocado, tomato, red onion, and cream cheese on a fresh bagel. The sandwich was filling and had generous portions of bacon and avocado, but overall I thought it was just good, not something I'd go out of my way for. I also paired it with an iced coffee, which was exactly what I expected from a standard cold brew. The shop was busy and the staff kept the line moving, and there are plenty of bagel sandwich options on the menu. My biggest downside was the price. It's on the expensive side for what you get, and while the quality was good, I didn't feel it justified the cost. Overall, Bethesda Bagels is worth trying if you're in the area, but I wouldn't consider it a destination bagel shop. The food was good, just not memorable enough for me to make it a regular stop.
