Revisited Great American Bagel. They continue to be extremely clean for being located within a gas station. I have noticed that the bagel and cream cheese offering is slightly more limited from the stand alone stores. The drive through is great for convenience but can take a while knowing orders are "made to order". Staff is never overly friendly but food quality does not waiver from the standard. read more

This location is the WORST. The cream cheese is always made wrong. Whoever is making them is not following the recipe. I ordered strawberry cream cheese and it was plain cream cheese with red food coloring. I also ordered vegetable cream cheese and there was so much vegetable it was unpleasant to eat. I tried ordering soup and they didn't have it ready for the day yet? The employees and management here are terrible. Nothing is made right and half the time the food isn't available. Extremely disappointing. read more

Absolutely awful location that does not get enough oversight from corporate. We regularly purchase from the location on Corsair, but will never be back to this one. The bagels are so thin they cannot be sliced or toasted. We purchased jalapeño cream cheese that was pink in color and chunks of unknown items in the cream cheese. It immediately went in the trash. Completely unappealing. The second container or walnut raisin cream cheese was prepped ten days ago with an expiration of the next day. There was a layer of water over the top. Absolutely disgusting. This place is not cheap (it's about 40.00 for all of what we ordered) and for that cost product should be top notch. We won't be back. read more

Waited 40 minutes stuck in the drive thru line. Only serviced 3 people the entire wait. When I got to the window they didn't even know my order. Then the lady handed me the bag so rude and didn't even say anything. Horrible experience. read more

My stomach has be hurting since I left there today. I won't be back. Please find something else for who ever made this smoothie today. Then the prices are much higher at this location. Why #yuck read more

I ordered two dozen bagels w/ tip, I then waited and watched smaller orders getting filled for 5-10 minutes. I figured it was a large order, so they'd get to it. Possibly they were toasting the bagels even though I had not been asked nor had I asked for it. 20 minutes go by and then I asked "where is my order?" "What order was that?" They had totally forgot about it.... Don't know how! They then rushed and didn't add the correct amount of cream cheeses and I had to correct them on that too. I did not even get an apology when the order was finally filled correctly. I ended up being late for my appointment. read more

Order 1 coffee waited for over 10 mins, still waiting as I type. Figured this place was new, maybe new staff. 6 knuckle heads walking around in circles Oh and to top it off, $6 for this gigantic beauty Hey Luke you still run this disaster? Would love to see you justify the bs service and sample sizes. Go ahead and tell me I didn't understand the menu, go ahead and tell me your guilty of feeling ripped off when you go somewhere new. Speak up son! read more

The Great American Bagel - Super sized "coffee"...... $6 - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Mokena, Illinois

Their breakfast sandwiches here are so amazing! I always forget to go there when I'm in the mood for one, but when I do, like last Sunday, I'm really glad I did. My kids and I go there before our manicures, because it's fast, hot, and relatively inexpensive. The people are very nice in the atmosphere is great for sandwiches. Because they are located in a gas station/convenience store, you get to run over and grab a pop or beverage of your choice to go with their great bagels and bagel sandwiches. I also love that it's a drive-through, but I usually don't use it. I would really recommend it next time you're looking for a great snack. Nothing beats a warm bagel and cream cheese! read more

Would never come back here. This is what you call a bagel? So thin hardly anything to it. Plus it was sliced with something that was used for other food because the bagel smelled like cucumbers. Don't waste your time. read more

No notification of early close - I guess they closed at Noon everyday? It was around 12pm on a Tuesday and we didn't know it was closed because there were cars going through in front of us. We waited behind a car for about 10min and another 10min at the speaker waiting for someone to take our order. Then we saw one car get their order and the car in front of us just went through. The girl at the window could have told the 3 cars through the speaker that they are no longer taking orders than making us wait through for like 20 min. It was just kind of inconsiderate especially people trying to get food during their lunch break. I understand they are trying to close up but please do not be rude about it and when we drove up to the window I had to ask if they were closed. Just very inconsiderate not to post that they are closing early. Just ruined it for me to ever go back and this was our first time there and assumed it would be open during lunch at least? Is there a no star option? read more

Extremely expensive, bad service. I have been before and the bagels were good, but this last experience was so awful that it is worth sharing. Almost $14 for 2 bagels, insanity! After paying an arm and a leg for a bagel, you'd expect normal amount of cream cheese. There was almost none and the bagels were burned- which is fine if they were normal prices. However, they are astronomical. When I asked for some more cream cheese, the worker said he'd have to charge me extra. Are they kidding me?! Unbelievably bad service. Do not recommend read more

My time is valuable and i have never wasted it writing a review until now due to the disgusting behavior of the employees/manager. An employee who claims his name is "Marcus" is mimicking customers over the intercom and laughing in the background with the other employees like customer service is a big joke. When speaking to the supposed manager she alleges that he has a disability that affects his voice (while they are seen/heard laughing in the kitchen area). His voice was perfectly fine when i was at the window picking up my coffee and confronting him while he backpedaled on an apology. Being a person that has friends & family members with disabilities i find it insulting and disgusting that a person in power at this facility would use this as a false justification for poor customer service and insulting behavior by their employee. DISGUSTING. Any desire for a coffee/bagel moving forward i will be sure to bring my business elsewhere and i recommend others do the same. Responses to reviews seem selective so i am not sure if there will be a response nor should time be wasted posting a defensive response, but rather action should be taken to train employees how to act in a customer service position (or as a human being in general). read more

Love this place! Just like any other American bagel, everything is always fresh and delicious. Staff has always been really nice too. Can't wait to go back get more bagels. Poppy seed bagels are my absolute favorite with the chocolate cream cheese or apple cinnamon cream cheese of course. read more

I for 1 am appalled at all the negative reviews this place has received. I come here religiously twice a week. I am greeted by happy smiling faces and nothing but positive vibes. The employees are always hustling their behinds off . My order is always made to perfection in a timely fashion. The employees do seem to enjoy their line of work which I have no problem with a little laughter and joy in the air as I down my vanilla frappe extra cream and delicious California bagel extra cream cheese(yes I love the cream). Bless this place and the beautiful people who keep it running. read more

Amazing bagels, donuts, breakfast sandwiches, coffee, lattes...and staff! And did I mention it has a drive-thru?!? Great location, super clean, and very convenient! read more

The Great American Bagel - customers at the counter - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Mokena, Illinois

I came in last weekend for the first time, a lady took my order, she was nice and helpful. I ordered a toasted bagel with cream cheese, the toaster must be broke because it warmed it up but did not toast it. It tasted like it was warmed up in a microwave. The coffee had a very bitter taste, next time I will get bagels to go and fix at home. read more

This place needs to get it together. Ordered in the drive thru. Takes forever. Bagel sandwich made incorrectly. Had to then go inside to receive correct order. I think my order was originally given to someone else read more

I went to get bagels this morning and the two workers there, two teenage girls, didn't wear masks or gloves while making our food. The girl making our bagels was on her phone and was very rude. I'm not trying to be a Karen by saying this but it wasn't sanitary at all. I hope this is brought to the workers attention so they can protect others from COVID. read more

DISGUSTING. I ordered the Lox and Cream Cheese Bagel with easy on the cream cheese to go. When I picked up the order, it felt like it weight 20lbs. When I got home I saw that they put a pound of cream cheese on each half of the bagel (not exaggerating) and the salmon was browning around the entire edging of the salmon. Literally, there was so much cream cheese that it looked like someone took the foil packed cream cheese from the grocery store and just smashed a full one on each side of the bagel. It was so disgusting that I had to throw my $14 breakfast in the garbage, not to mention the incredible amount of wasted food by the workers. My husband got an egg, cheese and ham sandwich on a bagel and asked for it to be toasted, which of course they did not toast it. NEVER will I go back to this place. read more

I was hoping the coffee was comparable to Dunkin and the cinnamon bagel was comparable to Panera. Not close. I didn't even finish my coffee. The bagel was ok... but what I didn't like was that it said 1.50 on the menu for the bagel and it cost me 2.75?? I asked for it toasted with butter... butter is almost double the price?? really? I'll never go back! read more

This my favorite bagel and sandwich place in town . Great food and great staff. Go and enjoy a bagel or sandwich and they have salads and soups as well. Make sure to get a cookie or a donut they are delicious. read more

They are inside of Gas and Wash. My Panini was good. This location even has donuts. They share tables with Hog Wild inside. Gives you more options for sides. There is also video gambling for entertainment. read more

Terrible service. I cannot sympathize enough of how rude the manager was to me when my simple order was messed up. And when I complained for 15 minutes that My order was incorrect I was given a burnt bagel. If I could give 0 stars I would, but it helps me sleep at night knowing I can get bagels that taste better from a random city garbage can... read more

Bagels are good, 4 star. The sandwich's are bad. For real bad. Egg is watery, and bland. Even after asking to toast, it never is. The bagel is always just room temp. I assume they toast the egg, and then throw it on an I toasted bagel with a slice of cheese. Not impressed. HOWEVER, there Frankfort "factory" location makes a delicious sandwich. completely different from the one in Mokena. Take notes, this would be a game changer. read more

The service is beyond great! From the minute I stepped up the cash register I was welcomed by the radiant personalities! My one critique about this place is that They dont wear name tags so people cant write fantastic reviews about each employee! You will never regret coming here. They dont call it GREAT American bagel for nothing. read more

Great place to get bagels, delicious sandwiches, and soup! The employees are great! I once had a mistake in my order and they were happy to replace the item quickly without any issues. The soups are delicious and I like the drive thru because of its convenience. read more
