OUAB had been a regular go-to eatery for our family for +30 years. But ever since Founder Jerry passed away 5+ years ago it has taken a gradual slide downhill, and we stopped going.I decided to take a chance a went back last Saturday after a long hiatus.I discovered that it hit bottom.Food was OK but not special. I can get better lox at Costco at a quarter the price. Bagels are also OK but no better than Costco.Prices have gone way up, so the value has vanished.But what really hit me as unacceptable was the service. Rude, rushed, and offensive.We had barely finished our food and planned on enjoying the mediocre coffee when we were almost forcibly asked to leave and almost had our chairs pull...
This place is pretty neat! Plenty of public parking all around, no charge. Busy joint, and a little cramped, even at opening time on a Saturday.Bagels are great. Pretzel bagel can be salted or unsalted. Obviously enough, the salted option is very salty! Tasty nonetheless. Pumpernickel is delicious! I preferred the chive and onion cream cheese spread over the lox spread. The French roast coffee was very good! You also are given an option for styrofoam cup or glass mug with endless refills. Much preferred to the house blend. Poached eggs cooked to perfection. Neat joint and vast menu. I'd definitely return.
I was disappointed in the food. Corned beef sandwich ordered regular. Came lean which was tough, very small amount of meat compared to other restaurants. Horseradish on the side not given. When asked was given something brown almost like sauerkraut? Didn't eat.Potato pancake crispy but heavy. Friend ordered the lox plate and she was very happy!Bakery to go delicious rugelach and kiddush cake. Not at all impressed with the bialy.Overall I won't return but my friend would.
Bad customer service, orderd have a dozen Asiago cheese bagels, they gave me all plain, when I called in to complain they insisted I ordered plain when it clearly says on the receipt Asiago cheese 1st time ordering here and my last.

The lox plate is amazing! Everyone on the team is nice and hardworking! You should try this place if you haven’t! Once upon.”we make people happy” Kid-friendliness: They are so kind to the kids! They even gave a kid a fist bump!
Used to be great. Not so much anymore. Been going here since they opened many years ago. Ordered lunch for myself and my folks and three items were wrong or missing. Most importantly, the bagels just aren't that great.
the best people, the best bagels. treating myself to a lox sandwich, soup, or blueberry bagel from here is my favorite form of self-care as a NY-er with very high standards ??
Don’t use the online system, they simply cannot prepare an order in less than 30 minutes time. Will never go back.
