Definitely have gone downhill. Got a simple bacon, egg, and cheese. Looked like one egg with a strip of bacon and weird small splotches of cheese almost burnt onto the bread but no other so it’s as if the cheese came off and they didn’t bother to fix. Three of those is a little excessive. Won’t be back.

Bagels were tasty, service was slow. What we ordered became not available due to someone behind us ordering the remaining inventory as a dozen+ to go. We had to make a different choice. The system needs work.

Ordered delivery, time between placing order and it arriving was 20 minutes; was literally in the driver's possession for only 5 minutes (we didn't realize how close this place was to our hotel), yet everything was room temperature when it arrived.The container for the biscuits and gravy was so soggy that my finger went through the bottom when I lifted it out of the bag. The top layers of the inside of the container peeled up with the biscuits when removing them to a plate and had to be picked off, and it also sloughed off into the gravy. I've had spaghetti and sauce come in similar containers from much further distances (therefore longer delivery times) that retained structural integrity, it'd be hard to convince me that the biscuits and gravy weren't already packaged and sitting out on a counter before we placed the order. The bag all our items came in wasn't wet on the inside, so it's not like there was trapped steam to cause that one container to get soggy.The breakfast potatoes were half-cooked. If they were the small pieces they were fine, anything bigger ranged from under-done to "raw enough it squeaks when you bite into it".And everything was so salty! Even the breakfast sandwich! I know sausage gravy is typically salty, but this was way more than I anticipated. The potatoes (at least the peices that were cooked) were only edible until the ketchup to mask the salt ran out.With how this place was rated, I didn't think we'd have so many issues...

Bagels lacked a strong flavor despite the variety of flavors available. All of them tasted similar. With topping, and color being only noticeable difference. Cream cheese was colored to bright pink & green which seemed unnatural, but had a strong flavor compared to the bagels them selves. $5 for bagel with cream cheese. $8 for breaking sandwich. Pricey, yet didn’t taste very filling, when bagels normally are. While placing our order we were not asked if we wanted our bagel toasted or what cheese we wanted on our breakfast sandwiches. We came with another couple, one of asked about toasting, so we were able to ask for ours to be toasted. The other asked about the cheese, we didn’t, we didn’t know there was a choice. But they didn’t know bagels wouldn’t come automatically toasted. So they were upset when their bagel sandwiches came out cold because they were not toasted. Worker said when busy, they don’t toast bagels for sandwiches unless specifically specified by customer. Not a great move. I also was disappointed I had to have sandwich with American cheese, fake cheese I detest, after knowing I could of picked a real cheese instead to be in my sandwich.

It’s not my type of atmosphere, but the bagels are good enough to keep going back
The bagel was exactly how I liked, soft and fresh. My issue was that, I had one egg and crumbles of bacon and it wasn’t even warm!I remember being let out of class my senior year 21 years ago to get bagels. The bacon and egg on egg bagel (like I got today) was large. It had at least 2 eggs, a few slices of whole bacon and cheese. I remember it being almost difficult to take a bite off because it was so big. I wish it was like that now. Good food just lacking a little more is all.

This location always has long lines, the food is mediocre yet I will go there if I don't feel like making my own breakfast. I will call ahead of time and place a to go order. This morning I called and when I said I wanted to place a to go order the employee responded with, we are only taking in store and online orders. My response, "well, you just lost a customer." When business is "that good," that you can't serve the customer, you loose that customer. That response caused me to make my own breakfast. I will never step in that store again.Response to owners response: There is nowhere in my review that I state I was denied service. Although I was denied the service of placing an order over the phone. I do not do online orders (required by all of the options Mr. J's listed), I will not submit my financial information online (anyone educated in computer operations knows the hacking risks), therefore the option of calling ahead to place an order so I don't have to wait in the long line that Mr. J's also refers to, was taken away. And I'm not sure how wasted food is an issue if the online order is paid for, Mr. J's got paid, the customer showed up - but that situation doesn't apply to my situation. Business is good, so much so Mr. J's can remove a customers preferred method of ordering, that is the stores perogative. And it is the customers perogative not to do what Mr. J's dictates if it goes against the way they do business - there are too many other businesses that don't have the long lines and limited ordering options.
