    My clients wanted to try this spot for lunch. They called in the order and I ordered the wings and peanut butter and banana smoothie. When I arrived I parked in the plaza lot. I walked in and was greeted. My food was ready and I paid and left. When I dug in the smoothie was very delicious and the wings were good as well. I definitely would return especially for a smoothie!

    Visited for breakfast and it was decent price for the items we ordered. Would go back again. Staff appeared to be wonderful people and I hope they stay that way. Quaint little place.

    Here is our favorite local breakfast spot! Their bagels are best in town! We love their flat sesame bagel toasted with cream cheese yummm! Their omelettes are perfect, too! Served with side toast and home potatoes. Choose anything from the menu, you won't regret it! They have both indoor and outdoor tables. You get your food so quickly no matter how packed they are! I believe they also deliver. The staff are always friendly, but Sylvia is the best! :) thanks her for her warm smile :)

    Welcoming, clean and organized. That's what I noticed off the bat. My first time here. Used my GrubHub gift. 8 times out of 10, businesses fail in quality or timeliness. The quality of my family's breakfast order was great. Additionally, I appreciate how everything was packed with care and prepared on time. No wait. They completed the order at 7:45 -- the exact time I was scheduled to pick up. Warm friendly smiles and service. Will definitely be visiting again! Check them out.

    Lox no cream cheese

    I really wanted to like this place however, after today's experience I might stay away. Yesterday I ordered a turkey sandwich with mayo and vinegar. You would think it would be dressed with those two condiments however, it was dry. If you want mayo I would suggest immediately ordering extra since I barely had a taste of it. I then ordered a double espresso which I enjoyed. I like the bean they are roasting. I wanted to give this place another try today as I have been craving a lox bagel. To my surprise they forgot the cream cheese! The order with a double espresso was $10.65, kinda pricey especially with no cream cheese. I didn't bother to correct the order since I thought putting cream cheese would be more fattening at this point. Bagel & lox it was! The staff is very friendly. You would think since their competitors (Garden Pizza) are on vacation they would step up their game!

    Their bagels are very good! I had a cinnamon raisin bagel with cream cheese, which was simple but very good. My son had a great looking sausage, egg and cheese on a plain bagel, which he said was very good.

    The order

    I've been ordering delivery from here the past few weeks for my family to give them something different than Frosted Flakes and Oatmeal. I order on their website, which at first can be a little tricky. They have so many selections and different combos, you gotta keep track of your order and make sure it's right when your done. I usually order late, cause I'm up anyway so the order will be there waiting for them to see when they open. Since I'm ordering late after everyone is asleep, it's up to me to decide what to get everyone. I keep it simple, just Bagels with different variations. My wife loves Everything Bagels, so I get her one with cream cheese, lox, red onion, and tomato. The Bagel even with delivery is still warm and has a nice toast to it ( which BTW is an option to select on the online ordering menu ). The Lox has a nice smoked taste, the red onions a great crisp bite, the tomato thinly sliced perfectly. One bite into your toasted perfectly prepared bagel your in heaven. There are a couple of downsides though. Never with the food or quality of it. Delivery times can be long, now like I said I've only ordered delivery from here recently so I can understand delays. These are trying times and I'm sure their doing their best. I ordered last night bagels for this morning, everything went well but the kids order. I ordered them 2 mini bagels, but they did not make them. Ok no problem they gave us 2 regular bagels instead. I wasn't going to complain about something like that. On their website when I checked out the bagels I purchased, the prices weren't right. There was like a $1.15 difference per bagel than what my original total was. Once again not going to complain, so it cost me an additional $4! I got a phone call an hr prior to the delivery to inform me of this error, so no surprises. One thing that really bothered me though the delivery person while wearing a mask did not have gloves on. I paid and left the tip online but still had to sign a credit card receipt. I usually don't have to do that when receiving delivery orders. In retrospect I should have gotten my own pen to sign, but I was trying to keep the kids from running outside. I can't blame the establishment for that, once the driver leaves there's no possible way for them to know what safe practices they are taking. Bottom line is in these tuff times, support your local businesses as much as possible. I will continue to support this establishment, for the quality of their great food, courteous staff, and just staying open when so many others around here are closing.

    Why would they even serve me this

    Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha…read more Oh wait. You mean, you weren't joking? Okay. Let's recap. I got a sponsored ad for Holy Burger. One of our burger go-to's recently closed, and I was willing to give it a shot. Though they seem to have a few outposts, I'm always one to support a mom-and-pop as opposed to larger names. This was my first time ordering. It will be my only time. This review is based on delivery. For over $60 (before tip), I was expecting something... else I guess. Mediocre burger? Check Slightly better than okay fries? Check Small Chopped chicken with cheese? Check Combo with like five or six fries? Check A shot glass of "cola" that comes with the combo? Check. Nothing memorable, and I'm still hungry. Also I ordered a double smash burger, not only have I had better, their "onion smash" had like one sliver of onions on it. Guess I was expecting an Oklahoma style onion burger, so massively disappointing. Save your money and go anywhere else. I seriously have no idea how this place has 4 stars and above all, is still in business. Nothing like pricing out the neighborhood and any decent places for the residents,

    Walking home from my occasional Columbus Ave errands I saw Holy Cow and wondered what it was…read morebecause as far as I could tell, they were a newcomer on that block. Immediately did an online search as I rounded the corner onto CPW and yes, holy cow! Burgers, chicken, hot dogs, fries! And the kicker is it's all Halal. We ordered all of those things. They did get one thing wrong: we ordered wings but they sent tenders (or boneless wings...which taste the same to me). We did order the wings a couple weeks later on our second try. They're very spicy. Burgers were fine, fries were fantastic (crispy, well seasoned). Fine choice when you're hankering for standard American grill foods and some delicious fries. Prices are good but delivery and other fees are outrageous. Our recent order of two burgers, wings, one small fries came to $69 after taxes, fees, and tip.

Usually that would mean that service is faster as the staff are walking out of the kitchen, but the service here was unbearably slow. We had to crane our heads to get our orders taken, to find someone to give us our bill, and to ask about our order. We ordered a drink (the second drink was sold out and my friend was uninterested in other options) and two appetizers and the drink came first, followed by a twenty minute wait for calamari. The calamari was probably the thinnest squid in the ocean and looked like shoestring fries, but the sauce it came in was delicious. There were approximately three zucchini sticks and four peppers in the calamari, which is on par with many restaurants, but less bang for your buck. It eventually became clear after another 10 min wait that our truffle fries were nowhere to be seen, and since we had to leave for our dinner reservation soon we struggled to flag a server, who then told us that they never put in our fries order. We obviously did not ask them to start making it for us, instead asking for the bill and then leaving. I wish I liked this place more than I did, but the service and staff here were so slow and hard to flag down it felt like we spent our entire meal looking around.

A friend and I chose to experience the Restaurant Week lunch special since neither of us had been to this restaurant before. We sat at the bar and decided to go for the $19 lunch special they serve Monday - Friday instead. We had alot of staff servicing us. Even though we sat at the actual bar, we had a floor server attending to us as well as the bar staff. We even met the manager, Tiffany, as she introduced herself to us and made sure we were taken care of properly. The UWS location is huge. It is about 2/3rds of a North/South block with an enclosed patio built in the front of the restaurant. The bar is simply beautiful. It is half inside and half on the sidewalk also semi enclosed. I did not walk around the inside of the restaurant but I did see there were alot of mirrors and a darker interior. Bar was filled with liquor on the walls and gave it a modern day saloon feel. Very comfortable and inviting. We ordered drinks initially. They were carefully crafted and tasty on a hot summer day. I ordered the Waldorf Salad lunch special and my friend had the Spicy Chicken Sandwich. I must say the portions are large. They make sure you do not leave hungry! :) Both entrees came with soup and a second side. I had the biscuit and honey/maple butter. Oh my was it heavenly. My friend was super satisfied with her sandwich. It looked like a meal fit for a Queen! All of the food was seasoned well. While we were still enjoying our meal the bar changed from lunch to happy hour service. My friend decided to order the Margarita flight. It came with three flavored margaritas for a mere $12. I tried the Spicy Brine Margarita and it will now be the only drink I have for future visits. So delicious and flavorful. We were having such a great time as the bar filled with patrons and we spoke with our neighbors. At this time one of our servers brought us a complimentary pretzel. It was the star of the show from presentation to taste I would recommend anyone to try it. The bathrooms are unisex. By the time I needed to use it the restaurant was crowded and so it needed to be serviced. The stall I utilized had a strong urine smell and needed a proper cleaning. Management might consider placing air fresheners in each stall to at least give the illusion of cleanliness. This restaurant raised the bar for hospitality! The service was top notch as well as the food and atmosphere. If you have not tried this place I highly suggest that you do. It is a 100 out of 10 establishment for NYC! My gratitude goes out to all of the wait staff and bartenders that made our experience so wonderful.

It was very crowded and busy inside, but she made us feel like we were her only table. We started with the pull apart bread with honey butter. Unreal - soft, buttery, deliciousness. We also got the deviled eggs which were solid, filled to the brim. The mac and cheese had penne noodles, an incredible cheese sauce blend, and a crispy top. The french dips were both delicious - the onion just had deep flavor. The reuben dip had a delicious horseradish sauce, though i wish it had more sauerkraut and a more reuben-like feel. Steak frites were reportedly delicious, steak cooked to perfection. We ended the dinner with the oreo ice box pie and 24 layer chocolate cake. The oreo ice box pie is something to write home about. As a cookies and cream lover, this is one of my favorite renditions of it and I could have easily demolished the whole pie myself.

You eat it, you forget it, you question your life choices. Then--then--you graduate. Two napkins. Now we're talkin'. Juice shows up to the party, maybe says hello, maybe shakes your hand, nothing crazy. But a three-napkin burger? Ooof. I've had a few in my day. A few. And lemme tell you--they were money. Drippin' down the wrist, little collateral damage on the shirt, but you don't care. That's a burger with ambition. That's a burger that says, "Yeah, I might ruin your dry cleaning, but you'll thank me later." Four napkins? Rare air. That's like hittin' a trifecta blindfolded while your bookie's yellin' in your ear. You don't plan for it. It just... happens. You sit there afterward, hands lookin' like you just changed the oil in a Buick, and you think, "I have seen God." But then... then... You hear whispers. Rumors. Guys at the track talkin' low, like it's contraband. "Five Napkins," they say. I'm thinkin', what is this, a joke? Five napkins? What are we, detailin' a car or eatin' lunch? So I go. Of course I go. I'm not dead yet. I sit down, order the burger. Guy brings it out like he's carryin' a newborn. There's a hush. I swear to you, a hush. First bite--first bite--and it's like the Hoover Dam gave up. Juice everywhere. Structural integrity? Forget it. This thing collapses like a bad alibi. I'm laughin', kid. I'm laughin' like a man who just beat the odds. Napkin one--gone. Two--gone. Three--I'm in survival mode now. Four--this is gettin' biblical. By five? By five I'm not even a person anymore. I'm an event. I'm a situation. And here's the thing--they knew. They knew what they were doin'. This ain't sloppy by accident. This is engineering. This is art. This is a burger that looks you in the eye and says, "You don't eat me. You endure me." So yeah. You go ahead, try your little artisanal whatever with the aioli and the personality crisis. That's fine. Live your life. But don't come to me--don't come to me--until you've gone the distance. Until you've stared down five napkins and come out the other side changed. Now pass me that cup. The ice melted, but the message didn't.

    i only got the five napkin burger to go, but the inside was really cute. to go order was roughly a…read more15 minute wait. FOOD: not good, the burger was dry and the bread was cold. there was no real flavor when biting into the burger, just felt like overcooked meat with too much garlic aoili and average bread. I thought it would taste better given the price
