Editorial Review for The Bagel Restaurant & Deli – by Citysearch Editors
In Short
Posters of '50s-era musicals decorate this Lakeview favorite, inspiring nostalgia in the mostly senior crowd. The huge menu starts with classic noshes like pickled whitefish, chicken salad and chopped liver. Kreplachs and matzo balls are major-league, stretching to the edge of soup bowls filled with salty broth. Sandwiches come open-face, grilled or stacked, with sliced-to-order meats. Entrees include liver and onions and roast chicken. Intensely sweet chocolate banana torte is a don't-miss dessert.

i am sure some people may be fooled but this southern boy was not. I was convinced to order the southern fried chicken after listening to the manager go on and on about the best ever southern fried chicken fresh never frozen and just finished cooking. Upon arrival the 1/2 chicken looked good, in fact there was nothing wrong with the chicken, except it was not fried . the skin was not even crisp. i would dare to say this chicen was made with shake and bake, maybe the southern style. a huge disappointment and false advertisement. next time i will ask him a question or two such as ,what type of oil is the chicken fried in? is there a cast iron skillet involved? what makes this chicken southern? hmm. i wonder.
Pros: 1000 island dressing
Cons: southern fried chicken

A favorite spot when I'm in the area, The Bagel serves up delicious soups and sandwiches. While I'll usually get any of their deli sandwiches and some matzo ball soup, the server recommended that I try the kreplach soup to compliment my patty melt. Outstanding! Bring an appetite as you definitely get fed - pickles and bread come free. Yum!
Pros: Soups, Sandwiches, Service, Ambience
