Bernie's Bagels - Allendale

Looking for a place for a decent lunch in Allendale? This place has it. Mind you, it's one of the only place in Allendale I've tried, so any locals reading this are welcome to direct me to their area favorites. I'll be back in town in the near future. I ordered from their numbered menu board and had the #5 on a poppy bagel. The sandwich was a roast beef with cheese. The roast beef was good, plentiful, and very rare. Just the way I like it. The bagel was fresh and covered with more poppy seeds than I've ever seen a bagel topped with (see sandwich photo). Was it the best bagel I've ever had? Well, no. I live in the New York Area, the hot spot for excellent bagels. However, it was pretty good. Service was friendly and timely. You order at the counter and can either eat there or take the food with you. I plan to try the town's other offerings eventually, but there is little doubt I'll be revisiting this place .

The bagels are really good but the service is a hot mess. I don't really expect a ton of friendly service when getting a bagel but I do expect all of my order to be in my bag when I get home. It was a big let down when we got back to the house and everyone had their order ready to eat except for me, which was the simplest of all with just a bagel with cream cheese. The staff also got into a bit of an argument right in front of us which is always interesting. They do make a great bacon egg and cheese here since they crack the eggs on the grille to order and it isn't that egg beaters microwave stuff. The in laws always enjoy the white fish as well as the chicken cutlets for sandwiches! I will be back when I am in the area, I will just be sure to check my bag before I leave.

This place is something else. On their website, it 's convenient they have phrases such as Our friendly staff .. but that 's the biggest joke. This place is near my job and has mediocre food/prices verses their neighbor Allendale eats. But I will pay the extra $3 a sandwich than support this deli EVER AGAIN. The man who answers the phone really should take a few deep breathes before answering the phone because his customer service skills are a 1/10. In a matter of 2 minutes, he hung up on me twice and the tone he takes is hilarious, it 's not that serious taking a food order. My 7 year old could have handled this call better than this man. On a side note- it takes about an hour for them to delivery less than 1 mile up the road.

I come here atleast two times each time I visit. The people are incredibly friendly and bagels are so fresh! Half price bagels after 1:30! Everything bagels ftw! Support your local business and eat here!

II love the HEALTHY CHOICES that are always available at Bernies! I love that the owner of this deli is so happy to go above and beyond for his patrons! the place is immaculate and everything is ALWAYS fresh. They cook their own fresh turkey and roast beef and I also love that the beef is prepared RARE! Yummy! Thank you MIke for not changing the quality of your food , other places have brought the quality down and their prices up.. We really know why you have been in business so many years
