Reviews for Bagel Nation in Charleston, SC
Bagels are very good! Just like Long Island believe it or not. That?s the only reason why I gave it stars. The staff are ... miserable and not friendly at all! Takes forever to get 1 bagel NOT Toasted. I must have waited 25 min for it. It?s a real shame Read more
The wait for a simple bagel is unreal. Not worth it. They need to figure out how to make orders faster. Waited over an hour and... half for a simple bacon egg and cheese bagel and still was waiting. Decided to leave and wasn?t able to get my money back due tothe line and wait. Restaurant response is bs as it was Sunday and not better when we went. Looks like the same response isgiven multiple times. If you have bad employees you should regroup and figure out what?s wrong with the business and why it?scosting u customers. From what I see they didn?t even know what they were doing in there or helping the situation. It wasliterally looked like they had no experience and all there first day Read more
Unfortunately I had high hopes for this place, however, upon waiting for, no joke, 45 minutes for two BEC's on bagels, I decided... it was time to walk out, without my food or a refund. The cashier gave no indication the wait was going to be that long. Iactually left, ran an errand, came back, and my order was still not fulfilled! I have never seen anything like this forliterally two eggs to be cooked and thrown on top of a bagel. It seems the online orders were backing up the restaurant, whichis a shame that online orders seemed to take precedent over the actual restaurant walk in customers. I wanted to like this placeas the bagels looked delicious, but who knows how much longer I would've been waiting. Read more
Waited quite awhile for my bagel, but the people in kitchen were working hard. The guy at the front counter was a hard worker... and constantly cleaning etc. The girl on the other hand was epic pure LAZY- her star rating is 0! She filled the half n half andseeing that the counter was covered in spilled creamer- she just left it and went back to her phone. The guy noticed it andcleaned it up. I understand short staffing. But I would not be paying for a lazy employee. Read more
Solid choice. Bagels are decent but cream cheese is where the nation shines. So if flavored cream cheese is your jam go here.... Highly recommend the Spanish olive. Also their potato salad is top notch. Like mom makes...who'd have thought a bagel jointwould be killing it with potato salad? Read more
Interesting place! I ordered an iced coffee, bagel, and hash browns. The self serve coffee area was questionable, I liked it (as... a previous barista) but it wasn?t very good. Staff was super nice. The place was packed, very busy. I will say be prepared towait, I sat there to work on stuff so it was fine. Food was great, but something really upset my stomach from here. It was thefirst and last thing I ate all day unfortunately. Bagel was my fav part! Read more
We have gone to Bagel Nation for 20 plus years. There was one of their stores less then a mile away, but it closed many years... ago. We like it so much we drive 45 minutes to grab bagels and a meal there. It can be very, very busy. So get there midmorning, or other off times. Read more
Food is good. Bagels are tasty & plenty filling for breakfast. Nice array of flavored coffees.. But the wait times are just... unrealistic for a grab & go restaurant. Placed our order at 9:26am, received our food finally at 10:10am. Not ideal. Read more
