Bagel Emporium & Grille

Great service, great food. We got an everything bagel with chive cream cheese. I love when stuff tastes homemade like this did :). I got yummy (humongous) blueberry pancakes. Also had that "real" taste to it! My fiance had a pastrami sandwich and sweet potato fries. It was all great. more

Phenomenal food. Gets a little pricey if you order a la carte, as items start to add up. Can be crowded Saturday/Sunday AM, particularly if there is a run/walk in the area. Quick & friendly service, but the food is unreal. Branch out beyond the bagels, it gets even better. more

If you want a great breakfast or lunch at a reasonable price Bagel Emporium is the place to go.\r \r Attentive great staff. more

There is no place else to get breakfast near South Miami. \r \r The Bagel Emporium has a friendly staff, and the food is pretty good. Closest thing to a deli around here. One problem: grimy knives and forks. more

I have been gone from Miami for a while and when I would visit, I would go to BE and get a meal. Always delicious, always great service and always a friendly atmosphere. I walked in and something was different. The place looked different and felt different. It didn't seem clean. And the absense of an hour wait should have been my first sign. Back in the day, when I lived here (until the early 90's) I owned several waterfront restaurants and even bought my Sunday Brunch bagels here. Well, I have moved back. And this afternoon myself and a friend went in for some lunch/brunch whatever. It just wasn't good at all. And it seemed that the patrons around me where having trouble too. The waiter was terrible. You would ask him for something and he would disappear and not bring it. People were waving him and the Manager?? down the whole time we were there, I ordered chopped chicken liver on a bagel and my friend order lox, eggs and onions. It was delivered without any utensils and no bagel with the eggs. The CCL was turning bad, the pot salad was not homemade and was turning as well. The tomato slices with my bagel were crunchy. My friend's eggs were not delicious either. I can't remember a time when I received a bad meal there. Until now. I told the waiter about the potato salad and he said it's not very good and everyone complains. Where are my jewish friends that used to own the place? Because I am sure there are new owners and man, they don't get it. Too bad as this was a Miami Icon. No more. Go to Coral Bagels a little farther North - much better food and service, and on the Beach, Jerry's Famous Deli!! Great food and service as well. more

Hey food addicts - if you like cheap prices and limitless coffee then head over to bagel emporium where all your dreams come true more

Pancakes were excellent . Sausage very good . Nova fresh and tasty. The only negative IMHO was the bagel which was cake like. more

The omlettes are the best. They are huge! more

The Bagel Emporium has reasonably priced food that is simple but good. The bagels are baked fresh each morning and the Onion soup is great. They have a nice variety of foods including salads and sandwiches. This place is nothing fancy but is nice to go with friends or to pick up some bagels to take home. more

I must agree with the poster below regarding overcharging. I was overcharged for some eggs this morning, and when I informed the cashier (manager?), he went to get the menu to ""show me"" why I was wrong. Except that he was unable to understand his own menu, and could not explain why I was charged so much. At one point he even conceded to his coworker that I ""had a point."" But instead of just refunding me the dollar, he asked why I was fighting over a dollar. At that point I told him to charge me whatever he wanted and left. Perhaps the better question is why they would be willing to lose a customer over a dollar, particularly when they are wrong about how to interpret their own menu. Hint to people at bagel emporium: If one topping costs $1, then two toppings cost $2. Cons: Terrible customer service, overcharging more

Bagel Emporium is the best for morning bagels and coffee more

Homemade soups made fresh every day. Sandwiches are served in the true spirit of a New York City delicatessen... piled high with lots of meat! \r \r Service is excellent as well. The guys behind the deli counter are great... everyone is greeted with a smile. more

I ordered a country fried steak this morning at bagel emporium and asked for some extra gravy. I was charged $4.00 for the extra gravy which was 50% of the price of the meal itself. Upon hearing this I informed the server and management to take the meal back which was at this point untouched. The manager then became very rude and threatened to call law enforcement unless I agreed to pay for the meal in full. This turned out to be a sad attempt at extortion as when I agreed to speak with an officer the manager just told me to leave. I will never go back to this place and would advise the same to anyone else. more
