    This was a disappointing experience. Years ago I went to the original Russ and Daughters, which was completely mad. The lines were insane and the wait was an hour for a bagel. But it was totally worth it. Those were the days. Now there are locations everywhere. I got a classic gaspe nova (sesame) bagel with (scallion) schmear. The bagel was the saddest bagel I have ever eaten. I am from NYC, I know my bagels. This bagel was hard. They used to put a quarter pound of salmon in the bagels. I could barely see the salmon in this bagel. I got some alskan roe to be fancy, but definitely not worth the upcharge. Two bagels and minus $50 later - I decided I will likely not return.

    This place is cute. Feels like you jumped into the 1950s for a second. A little quiet without music. They got a lot to choose from. I got classic cream cheese with lox. The cashier suggested I get the scallion cream cheese, I also added capers, onions and tomato with it. I see they also sell caviar and champagne, that's cool. My bagel was wrapped so nicely. It was absolutely delicious and the bagel itself was very fresh. They had plenty of seating on a Wednesday morning, the seats were very comfortable. Definitely a yummy spot!

    Lucky coincidence that this location was a 14 min walk from our stay so went right over a few minutes before opening. A line started forming pretty quickly so I could already tell the bagels would be worthwhile. I ordered a sesame bagel with scallion cream cheese and tomato. Absolutely delicious! The location is super cute and looks like a modernized old fashioned deli. Service was excellent and I'm so sad I don't live nearby so I can have fresh NY bagels on a regular basis.

    Incredible! This place was highly recommended to me and I had to stop by when I was in New York. You enter and grab a number and it goes pretty quickly. The bagel was delicious and the horseradish dill cream cheese really added to the flavor. I wish I was more hungry so I could try more items. Definitely would love to come back and get soup or a black-and-white cookie.

    My onion bagel with everything. Nice.

    I've been dying to try Russ & Daughters for some time and today was the day. We were in town on holiday for the week and we walked from our place in Chelsea. After a brief wait we ordered: Matzo ball soup and a sesame bagel for my wife and an onion bagel with scallion cream cheese, lox, tomato, capers and onion for me. We got a table and got to it. Firstly, the Matzo ball soup was SCREAMING hot just like it should be. Some places are afraid to serve their soups at a decent temperature but not R&D. Yes! Sesame bagel was good. My bagel with everything was kinda perfect. Chewy, crunchy, creamy, salty and briny with capers. The cold brew was also quite good and my wife's coffee was fine. Service was friendly and prompt. Ambiance was upscale diner meets fish market. We will be back to try a few more things. Thanks! 8/10

    When you walk in, it's a bit intimidating. There's a long line. Lots of variety to choose from. Limited seating. But... One of the best salmon lox bagels I've had! They give you lots of salmon lox, cream cheese, tomatoes, onions, and capers. The tomatoes, onions, and capers are add ons. They are pretty quick. I never finish a whole bagel, but this was something my friends and I demolished. Highly recommend!

    On our way to the Hudson Yards area, we stopped in Russ & Daughters for a bagel. We ordered at the counter and found a quiet, cozy spot by the window to sit. Service was friendly and fast! In just a few minutes, our order was ready. The bagel was my favorite in NYC and it had the perfect amount "smear"! Highly recommend Russ & Daughters if you're in the city. You know it's good when mainly the locals are here!

    Russ & Daughters will always be a favorite of mine. It's a place worth venturing around with all the different variety that they have to offer. If you are not someone who's really into lox, you can skip, but if you are into lox...worth going and trying all that they have to offer. Yes it's 1000% on the pricier end, and no it's not a grab and go kind of bagel...but oh is it a nice treat here and there. I'm a bit of a traditionalist when it comes to the locations of Russ & Daughters...I definitely prefer the original location but this and the other cafe by the original are nice simply for the fact that the insides are built out so well and are incredibly cozy and "New York." With this being a bagel you'd like to sit down and enjoy, this location and the other cafe location are great for exactly that. *side-note, this isn't a place to be intimidated by. The deli like setting can scare many but it is incredibly relaxed and friendly.

    Wow! This place is amazing! I've seen this place on social media and I had to stop by. I wasn't sure what to order so the man helping me gave me a small slice of pastrami salmon and whitefish to sample. I liked them both so he made me a bagel with a little bit of each. It was probably the best bagel I've ever had.

    A quintessential joint for lax and bagel ~ order at the counter. Location was bigger than I expected with some retail space and even indoor seating. Classic Bagel & Lox Sandwich on a Pretzel Bagel $17 - 9/10 - ratio of cream cheese to bagel and lox is perfect; amazing - heavy cream cheese and heavy salmon, bagel smaller (just the way I prefer my carb ratio) - choose your own cream cheese; worked recommended scallion cream cheese, so delicious! - moist, totally would order & eat again! Chocolate Babka $4 - 4/10 - I did purchase a slice (& not a loaf), so it very likely contributed to it tasting dry. But it was also not not chocolatey. Curious how this compares to Breads Bakery. Feel free to skip. Black & White Cookie $3.50 - 3/10 - also dry, meh and not memorable at all. Will note that the chocolate had a snap to it (intentional?).

    First time in NYC and wanted to try all the "you have to try ... in NY" so this bagel spot happened to be right outside of our hotel. We walked over and it was PACKED! You have to pull a number (similar to a deli) and wait to be called. They moved very fast and even though they were busy we didn't feel rushed and they were SUPER nice. The bagels were soooooo good. My son got an everything bagel with plain cream cheese (toasted) he is a bagel SNOB and was soooo impressed. Said it was the best bagel ever he also got a cinnamon roll from there (I don't remember their name for it). He was even more impressed with the cinnamon roll lol!!! I got an egg everything bagel with scallion cream cheese (not toasted). It was THEEE single best bagel I have ever had in my life. We returned the next morning. This place is a must go to in manhattan

    Solid sesame seed bagel with cream cheese and lox add one. Was a sweet bagel with solid firm yet chewy texture Recommend this place for a quick bagel or for office ordering

    Andrea C.

    Nice, clean, well lighted space. It's part restaurant. Part take out store. They have a few different types of smoked salmon (lox) and a variety of bagels, and selection of cream cheese too. They will toast the bagel if you want. They have a couple of soups, some latkes, one or two other things, but seriously, you are here for the lox. It's the best in NYC, and probably anywhere else too. If you live here in NYC, you come to Russ and Daughters.

I've been coming here for years, and the quality of the food continues to keep me coming back. During this visit, I ran into a recurring issue with my lobster. It was carrying a large amount of roe, which I was actually happy about because I enjoy it and didn't want any of it to go to waste. However, the roe deep inside wasn't fully cooked during the initial steaming process. I had to go back and forth with Ash and the kitchen staff several times, but they remained patient, attentive, and committed to making sure everything was cooked properly. Ash, one of the managers, provided excellent customer service throughout the experience. While I was waiting, he kindly offered me a complimentary cup of New England clam chowder, which was absolutely delicious and very much appreciated since I was starving. Before leaving, I also ordered two more 2 lb. steamed lobsters to go. I explained my concern, and the staff made sure they were thoroughly cooked before packaging them. Both were perfectly prepared and absolutely delicious. I truly appreciate the team's dedication to customer satisfaction and their willingness to make things right. Their excellent service, combined with consistently great seafood, is why I've remained a loyal customer for years. I highly recommend this place and will definitely be back. Thank you!
