No place will ever compare to Barry's ...as we fans call the place. If you are lucky enough to be in the shop when they remove the jewels from the oven...take one...no..two! LOL It doesn't matter what flavor...you will love it! Warm from the oven...ummm..that is gonna hurt the hips..but I didn't care! LOL
Take one of these lil suckers and place some roast beef on top....give it a whirl of cream cheese...as Emeril would say...'oh yeah babe!'
If that combo doesn't suit your palet...try another...they will make it to order..fresh and with a friendly smile. Enjoy!
I got a pizza bagel a few times. It was good. Although, being in NYC for a while, I'm kind of spoiled because the bagels here are grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrreeeeeeeeat!!!. Barry's has a decent bagel for Toledo, though. It's worth checking out.
This one has changed since they redid the Westgate Shopping Center but it has not lost its charm...maybe has gained a different kind. Very nice inside and their food is still very good. Breakfast, lunch, dinner...all of the different sandwiches and salads are great. The bagels don't seem as big as they used to be but still very good. I am funny about eating potato salad but theirs is very good...I go there alot.
Move over Panera, because my bagel standards have escalated all thanks to Barry Bagels. True, it may be a favorite hangout for high schoolers, but I can overlook that so long as I get my hands on their yummylicious bagels. Favorites thus far are the Asiago Cheese and the Cinnamon Vanilla. The cinnamon vanilla is a treat in of itself sans cream cheese, but the asiago cheese bagel and the chive cream cheese is a killer combo.
BB is a bit on the pricey side, especially when it comes to some of the other menu items, but I'll make the best out of what T-town has got to offer. Don't forget to pair the bagel/eggel/sandwich with a cup of Biggby coffee -- talk about an ingenuous idea!
And as a random aside, the webmaster(s) of http://barrybagels.com has an obsession with babies and bagels. They're cute pictures nonetheless.
Better than Noah's (*gasp*), better than Posh, and better than Einstein Brothers! Lots of teeny boppers at times, but also a good mix of college students, young families, and the older crowd. Everyone is super friendly too!
I love the bagels. They are great for any meal of the day. But the restaurant itself it way too expensive. From what I remember, it was like 5.50 or more just for a simple bagel sandwich. And it's not as if you can order a bunch of toppings on a bagel sandwich like you could a sub, just for the simple fact that it won't fit! Good sandwiches, and a nice atmosphere, but you could buy a dozen bagels for the price of one bagel sandwich.
When people that have lived in T-Town their whole lives tell me they have never had Barry's my mouth literally drops. I have never had a bagel that compares the chewy, delicious treat that this place provides. They have a huge selection of kinds of bagels (tomato basil to good old everything), and many types of cream cheese (strawberry, veggie ranch, jalapeo). And don't stop at the bagels! Their soups and baked potatoes are simply amazing as well! A tidbit - if you don't want half a stick of butter and a full container of sour cream on your baked potato ask for it on the side, same with the cream cheese on the bagels.
Since I can't even find a bagel to compare in Chicago, I visit this place at least once when I take trips back to Toledo to visit my family....ok...drooling over my laptop thinking of it now!
My personal favorite: A garlic or salt bagel with scallion cream cheese - watch out though, it will make your breath pretty stinky!
Quite a good bagel place. Went there for the first time just this past Friday. They have a decent selection of bagels, and the staff was quite friendly. When I got to the register, I had another pleasant surprise. I found out that when using their members card (which is available free of charge) purchasing standard breakfast bagel sandwiches before 10 Monday-Friday made them half price! All the more reason to come back again!
I never realized how good their bagels were until I travelled to other cities and tried others. Turns out, no one else knows how to make a decent bagel.
The bagels here are chewy outside and soft inside. It's all about texture. Not to mention balanced, fresh flavors. I like the garlic, egg, and everything bagels (that's 3 different flavors). Their corned beef and pastrami is quality, as well. You can order lean or standard, which is good and fatty (come on, we're talking pastrami here).
You will pay a hefty price for these bagel sandwiches (around $6.50, plus 1.00 surcharge for cheese). However, the subtle texture and flavor of the bagel, accompanied by fresh, quality meats, cheeses and veggies will leave you satisfied.
Other, similar places simply don't have the standards to pull the bagel sandwich off.
The best bagels I've every had, and yes I had them in New York. Barry's also has a good selection of meats and cheeses, that are top quality. You can't go wrong eating here. I've been stopping in weekly for over 20 years!!!
Pastrami and chive cream cheese on a salt bagel, yum, yum.
The best bagel's ever. Period. I have lived in Chicago for 5 yrs and have yet to find a bagel that even comes close. Barry's is an absolute anytime I'm home visiting. My fav?? Corned beef & muenster on a garlic bagel - ridiculously scrumpch!
Great bagels, crappy coffee. They tend to be really packed in the morning to prepare to wait inline. The bagels are also on the pricey side, they really screw you with the cream cheese (which isn't that good). But the quality of the fresh bagels will still force me to give them a 3star. I hope the loss of the near by bookstore doesn't force them out of business.
My favorite bagels in the world. I've had bagels in LA, DC, and NYC. I've had Noah's and all these other big chains. Barry's are soft and chewy. Also, the deli selection of meat and cheese is superior.
good bagels
Let's face it. No other city screams 'chain…
Eating on a budget? Best places to get your fill…
