Reviews for Great American Bagel in Chicago, IL

I?ve been getting bagels from GAB for years. The staff are always friendly and the bagels are consistently delicious and not too... chewy. They?re ideal for bagel sandwiches. My favorite is the everything bagel. It?s flavorful and not too salty. Read more

Complete rip off? My lox and cream cheese bagel didn?t have any lox on it. I basically paid more than $15 for a regular bagel.... My garden salad had barely any items and no egg. They just loaded it up with croutons. Tried calling and the line would neverconnect and just beeps. I will never do business with them again Read more

I stopped by at 3:15 PM, after they had closed (3 PM), only I didn't realize they were closed. The front door was unlocked, so I... went in and was greeted by a few of the staff that were already well into shutting down / cleaning up for the day. They wereSUPER nice and accommodating, explaining that they were closed and it was a mistake that they left the door unlocked, but theywere happy to get me a bagel, cream cheese, and drink. Wonderful service and I'm appreciative of them getting me some fooddespite being after hours. Great bagels too! Read more

Angel put his heart and soul into making the best bagel sandwich I?ve ever had! Would highly recommend this location

Favorite spot for bagels in the city. Better than the airport version if you've only tried the O'Hare stand (it is good there... too, but not as good as here) Read more

Love this place! Always fresh and tasty food with a long list of options to select from. Our go to is bacon/sausage, egg and... cheese bagels on lazy Sunday mornings....with a breakfast bone for our pup too! Their variety of bagels are baked on locationwith tons of cream cheese options as well. Definitely a great add to your breakfast lists! Read more

The staff here are lovely and kind. I felt totally welcome in. The manager making my coffee was even like, if it?s not sweet... enough just tell me and I?ll add more! Plus you watch see them making bagels with the big machine! Read more

Delicious bagels, incredibly-kind staff, family-owned, what more could one ask for? I had to buy half a dozen and two types of... cream cheese because they all looked so good! They were nice enough to toast my bagel while I sat for a minute to eat (my firstmeal at 4:30 PM!!) And then were nice enough to have donated two bagels to me that were going to be thrown away ! Now I can giveone to someone on the street who needs some extra food. Wonderful establishment ! Frequent there if you can!?????????? Read more
