I am here at least 3 times a week. They have excellent food, and service. Food is always fresh and the people there ( including the owners who also work alongside staff) are truly fantastic. I haven’t made it to the new location yet which is more of a sit down with even more food options but plan on it soon. I love the Chesterfield neighborhood one 😍. They have fresh sable, lox, and whitefish flown in every week. The bagels- the best in St Louis- truly. Try them! 5 stars plus!! Ty Lefty’s

Cannot tell you how many times we have been in at this point, but every time we are never dissatisfied. We have tried almost every kind of bagel and they are all great (salt is our favorite.) Great eating in shop or taking with you, staff are always so sweet and more than happy to answer questions. This is our preferred bagel shop in town and prices are good. Been sending friends here to try already as well! Fantastic!
Mar 5 · Nicole MFirst time visiting Lefty’s and I was quite impressed, I had already heard so much about their bagels, but I had to see and try for myself. The young that took my order was so patient, friendly and very helpful. If you’ve never tried Lefty’s, you guys are missing out…this place is a must try, their bagel are delicious!!
Aug 8 · Tasha The BloggerDelicious! I've been here twice, and tried 2 different breakfast sandwiches. Both amazing! Cooked fresh and with love. I went a bit later in the day the second time so they only had pumpernickel. (A Bagel I never thought I would try) I'm honestly glad it's all they had, because it was delicious! I got the "I want it all" with pastrami. It was like a breakfast Reuben. So tasty!
Nov 26 · Christopher BrunsLefty's is absolutely delicious! Every flavor is fantastic: we love ordering a dozen and having a bagel tasting board. Definitely order ahead to skip the line, especially on the weekend. I even keep a few in the freezer and they toast up beautifully. We will never go anywhere else for bagels and I hope Lefty's sticks around for many years to come!
