The Bagel Restaurant & Deli

Sitting in my car thinking really hard while reading the book How to eat a hot dog! I was thinking what could make my tummy feel so good and is yummy. I got it DA BAGEL RESTAURANT & DELI. So I went into my home and grabbed my TUF Brush and put on my donald duck starter jacket and my goofy gloves and took the long golden journey. After hoping on 4 trains and 3 bus loads of super nice people I made it . I walked in and said Hi to the Nice LADY she smiled and gave me a HIGH FIVE. I sat down and looked at the menu for 45 mins and finally this amazing piece of CHEESECAKE made my little tummy yearn for some loving. So i asked my server DINO THE BAMBINO. 1 slice my man and he came back in amazing time 5 mins i even timed him with my AUSTIN POWERS WATCH. I said there for the next 67 mins and 54 secs of amazing tasting and then paid my check with my golden coins. $5.50 in dimes. Then I walked backed home even though it was FREEZING COLD. I needed to feel the air on my cool hair and feel it on my nose.

It certainly was a throwback last week when I visited The Bagel with my Yia Yia and little sister. Yia Yia used to live literally across the street from Old Orchard so most of my Bagel memories come from when I was still too young to know what Pastrami was. So this visit was kind of like being there for the first time, again.
Service at The Bagel was... odd. Everyone was fine, it was just weird to see so many senior citizens on their feet waiting tables. I was legitimately concerned that my waitress wouldn't be able to carry my soup.
Speaking of soup, they have the BOMB matzoball. The broth is golden and salty, and the ball was a floater, not a sinker (plus 1000 points).
The selection of food was your basic deli fare. I had a half pastrami sandwich on an onion roll. I wish I could have had brown mustard, but all that was on the table was yellow and again, I felt really bad for my waitress so I didn't want to flag her down and make her run around for me.
I shouldnt have written this review on an empty stomach. I am totally craving matzoball now.

The food is wonderful. I love the GIANT matzo ball in the soup, the kugel is good (not as good as my  bubbe's, but it will do in a pinch), and the pickles are delish.

They lose a star for service. It's been pretty busy in the past, so I thought I'd see if they take reservations. It's Hanukah, so I thought they might this week if not on a regular basis. I called, the guy who answered asked me how many, and when I said 2 he laughed at me saying "Two?! We don't take two." Rude. Seriously.
