Why can't Joe's Bagels EVER get it right?How hard is it to make an everything bagel, toasted WELL DONE with butter? Apparently, too hard for Joe’s. This isn’t my first frustrating visit, but it will definitely be my last.I ask for my bagel well done every single time, and every single time it comes out barely toasted, slightly brown at best. Meanwhile, the guy behind the counter is too busy chatting with his coworker to notice. Without even glancing at the bagel, he slaps some butter on it and hands it over like the job's done.I always have to stop and say, “Does that look well done to you?” And every time, I get the same deer-in-the-headlights stare, followed by, “Oh… do you want me to toast it more?” Seriously?By the grace of God, someone please help this kid—because food service is clearly not his thing. I’ve tried to give them the benefit of the doubt, I believe in second chances… but there will not be a third.Do better, Joe's.

Sep 27 · Don FalconeStanding in line for 10 minutes.. there are three girls in the back just wandering around. Looks like the owner is cleaning a window out front with a dirty rag. The signs are absolutely filthy. There’s dust falling off of the signs with menu. Then the guy says to me why are you mad. He doesn’t know what he’s doing. He looks like a deer in the headlights at the register. And nobody else looks like they know what they’re doing.And nobody seemed to care that there were five people waiting.
Jun 25 · lisa rolandGot some bagels July 5th morning. Young staff was very good, pleasant. Young lady working the register did the right thing on the cream cheese. Nice to see some solid customer service.
Jul 5 · Matt ReckWent to Joe’s, and it got attacked by aliens… Their cashier Venice was so brave. She led my family through the battlegrounds, got us out safely, and even jumped on a grenade for us. Turns out it was a dud, so she made it out alive too. Great bagels.
