    Proof I ordered sourdough bread, not Rye or whatever was used.
    Daleesa W.

    This was my first time trying this place. Placed an order for pickup through the yelp app. Ordering was pretty seamless. Timeliness of order being ready was great. Hash browns tasted okay, not sure I would order again unless I needed to add more calories to my meal. The main items, our breakfast sandwich's were disappointing. I ordered sourdough bread. After taking my first bite which packed an unexpected flavor, I researched online. Looking at their menu options, and images via a google search, it seems whoever made our sandwiches confused RYE with SOURDOUGH. Definitely not the taste we chose or were expecting. I would have preferred for my order to NOT be ready early, and instead CORRECT, as ordered and paid for. If I choose to give this place a 2nd chance I will definitely check my order before leaving and possibly consider ordering in person. I didn't see an option to request bread to be toasted, so that is the other thing I would address. Pictures attached

    Lox bagel

    This place down the street from us seems like a local spot and we can see why They have bagels, muffins, breakfast, and all for a good price (a bagel is like $1 ) Service is also super friendly. This is gonna become our spot fs Lox bagel ($17) - this bagel was HUGE and they really packed the lox. Had this as 2 meals- fresh ingredients and chewy bagel Instagram- @joangela.eats

    Bagel with salmon capers onions cream cheese tomatoes

    Grab and go ( not a long wait approximately 10min). Had a plain bagel with salmon, onions, tomatoes, cream cheese, and capers. Overall, it was an average experience. The bread was soft, and the salmon seemed fresh, which was a plus. However, the bagel didn't stand out as anything extraordinary.

    Can't recommend this place enough. Food was great and owner was very hospitable. We visited this place two days in a row that we stayed in the city. I picked up the #14 (lox bagel) both days, portion size was great and very fresh. We picked up a variety of other items including croissants and muffins; all were excellent. The place is clean and has a small eating area inside, or you can take it to go which is what I saw a majority of customers do. The place stayed consistently busy (and I can understand why), but the wait isn't long at all. Go check them out!

    The good's great at this neighborhood deli.  Look at that line for breakfast!

    The food is great. But we had to wait 20 minutes to get our order of eggs & hash browns. NEVER AGAIN

    Living here at the bagel shop for sure!  $15 egg sandwich
    Doug W.

    I've read the reviews, I've been a few times, and I have a very different and way more accurate, IMO, view of this place. It's one of the few bagel spots in the area (that you'd even actually want a bagel from) but upon my last visit I finally determined they aren't that great. The bagels themselves are a tad too dense and a smidge too small... When factoring in the "NYC price" as someone put it; I can't condone coming here. They are NOT fast, as another reviewer stated, and they charge $5 for a bagel with cream cheese. Guess how much they charged me for a BEC.... Granted I added a hash brown.... .... $14.85!! Never again! Was it good? Yeah, it was really good but so is a full meal anywhere else; they don't allow dogs even if in my arms just to place an order; the same $2 drink at any other deli is $4 here... So, what's so great about it? Just the sheer fact that it's all that's here, doing what they do, and they aren't god awful, doesn't make them "awesome." Even if you charge $8 for the BEC, $2 for the hash brown... do you then charge $3 for SPK?? Screw you guys for real; no other spot is ripping people off with a $15 egg sandwich.

We got the Banter Bowl, which includes pickled carrot, cabbage, watermelon radish, cucumber, edamame, avocado, quinoa, and miso ponzu dressing. You have a choice of meats, so we chose the grilled chicken. Second, we ordered the falafel bowl that includes three falafels, pickled onions, avocado, cucumber, whipped garlic feta, kale salad, romesco, and Za'atar dressing that had a delicious flavor. However, our ultimate favorite had to be the Thai Crunch Wrap with sweet potato fries. It was fairly busy, and our drinks took a while to come, but the food arrived shortly after. The next time I'm back, I will be sure to reorder the Thai crunch wrap. If you have food allergies, they are extremely accommodating and have numerous vegan/vegetarian/GF.

Think vintage wallpaper, little knick-knacks, and warm lighting. It's got character. I ordered the market salad with mixed greens, honeycrisp apples, goat cheese, candied pecans, and sherry vinaigrette. It was a hearty portion - super fresh and flavorful, and honestly more than I could finish (not a complaint!). I also ordered a Diet Pepsi with grenadine; they don't carry Diet Coke, which I almost docked a point for, but the mix was unexpectedly delicious. Highly recommend it. My date ordered the hanger steak and said it was absolutely amazing. Only hiccup: his first glass of wine he got came out hot... like, microwave-level warm. Fortunately, the server brought a new (cold) one and the rest of the meal was smooth sailing. Service was friendly, the vibe was homey and relaxed, and the food was solid across the board. Would definitely come back, especially for that salad and another round of grenadine magic.

It was our first time eating at a Friedman's location. It had a nice diner feel to it, with a mix of booths and tables. The brunch menu has a variety of breakfast items, salads, sandwiches and burgers, starters, and entrees (fish tacos, grain bowl, fried chicken). I like that several of the items are naturally gluten free, and some can be made gluten free by request. We decided to go with three breakfast items from the brunch menu: I got the shakshuka, my sister got the Nova Benny, and we got the lemon ricotta pancakes to share. All 3 dishes were great. The shashuka came with grilled ciabatta, perfect for dipping into the sunny side eggs and tomato sauce. My sister loved that the poached eggs and smoked salmon of the Nova Benny came on top of a crispy potato latke. The pancakes were fluffy and the lemon ricotta and lemon zest elevated their flavor. Our server was friendly and attentive, and he asked us if we had any allergies when he took our order. He came by several times to check on us and refill water.

On a recent visit, I wanted to check if their payment policy had changed (they charge a fee for credit cards on top of the bill)... I asked them if they still charge a fee for credit cards and their answer was "there are signs everywhere". While that might be the case, i didn't see the sign... I have vision issues and when I told them (with additional explanation) they didn't proceed to assist me. A couple overheard my exchange and said they have had issues in the past too. To anyone visiting from out of town: From this New Yorker, please know if you experience something similar at Sarge's it is not the norm ... most NYC restaurants, cafes, grab/go, coffee shops, bodegas will treat you kindly, without attitude. The guys behind the counter are amazing... work hard, helpful. Please tip them, if you have the means to do so.
