    I’m testing out short, 200-word reviews for places where I just order takeout. These quick visits mean there’s no focus on service or atmosphere (unless it’s absolutely terrible); my reviews are all about the food and its quality. I think it could work to develop a more food orientated view of a restaurant and not apply such a broad lens. Some other reviews I have done like Gilshar Greek Cafe and Kira Sushi can benefit from this. It reminds me of how I do Food Trucks as well but not as focused on the street food aspect.

    First Impression  

    When I walked into Miller Place Bagels and Deli, I was instantly reminded of why I love New York bagel spots. The rich scent of hazelnut coffee and fresh bagels filled the air. My girlfriend and I both ordered Egg Everything bagels with bacon, egg, cheese, salt, pepper, and ketchup. I got my eggs over medium, while she chose fried. I like to call this combination the “Looong I-Lander”,just say it out loud and you’ll get the joke!

    The bagels smell so delicious.

    We waited about five minutes for our food before leaving. The owner was hilarious, jokingly calling me a “Legend.” I found it amusing, he had no idea he was being reviewed. Maybe he’ll remember me?

    I’m passionate about NY Bagels. People often ask why I post so many reviews when I’m in New York, and it’s simply because I love the food, it’s quite different from what my girlfriend and I are used to in Columbia, S.C., where we live. The photos really tell the story: the bagel had just the right texture, perfectly balanced between chewy and firm. The bacon was cooked perfectly for me, and the egg added a delicious, runny richness.

    The Verdict

    5 stars! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Food

    I can tell Miller Place Bagel and Deli has character. The “Looong I-Lander” bagel was delicious with premium ingredients. Who knows, maybe next time I meet the owner we could do a deep dive or spotlight on the spot. I know it will be interesting and “Legendary”.I plan on coming back to try some of that delicious looking deli food. I lied about this being 200-words ☹️.

    🎙️ Nosherator Note

    Small businesses like this face hurdles every day, from staffing challenges to equipment hiccups. As a fellow operator, I always try to give them the benefit of the doubt and appreciate the effort they put in.
