I was working in the area and would go here for lunch, they have a wide assortment of sandwiches and hot food. I ordered the Grilled Chicken with mozzarella roasted peppers onions and balsamic vinegar. YUMMM! $10 BUCKS... a solid sandwich.

This place has the best bagels ever. We were staying overnight in the area and googled someplace for breakfast and Steins was close so we tried it. Hands down the best bagels we've ever had! If you're in the area you really need to stop here.

Usually this place is decent but went today they served a burnt bagel. Not just the edges are burnt the whole top and bottom is burnt, it's like eating cardboard. That is not toasted.
If you're not going to serve an inedible bagel then make another one. Really disappointed in their service today.

Coffee so so, nothing special. Had pastries- old, hard, stiff, couldn’t eat it. 👎👎👎

The bagels are good here, but no one wears a mask and folks that do get an uncomfortable vibe. At least I did. With other good choices nearby, I'll opt for them next time.

There is nothing like Fresh hot/warm bagels. Fortunately unlike typical bagel shops Steins bagels are still warm and fresh most of the morning . Great staff and quick service

First time. Good fresh hero - tasty. Soup was very good. Large portions. Spotlessly clean, prompt service. Definitely worth return visits.

I'd like to update this review because I recently gave them a second chance and their bacon egg and cheese sandwich is bomb

This place is gross. Bagels have gotten smaller and smaller. The owners are nice and attentive however the rest of the staff are miserable. Will say the place is very clean.

Screw all the people who wrote negative reviews. This place is awesome. Best bagels in all of New a Jersey and great deli. This has been a staple of my high school life and every time I come back, I get a bagel here. Great family owns the deli. Whenever I come in, lots of people in line or ordering. Come here for real Jersey bagels.

Good bagels and good prices. The weekday morning counter ladies are always so sweet, I come back mostly because of them.

Had a super tasty eggplant cutlet sandwich from Stein's recently. Cut thin and fried to perfection, just like momma used to make! I know that other reviewers have given them a hard time for their service, but I found them to be polite and prompt. I'll definitely be back!

I went in yesterday for take out. The man making sandwiches Was not wearing a mask around his face it was around his neck. He said good morning to me and I said you should be wearing your mask and he says today's one thing tomorrow is another and he didn't put it on. The owner came out of the kitchen without a mask on. The girl who is helping me did have amask on and when I said something to her she laughed and said jokingly to the other ones, guys put your masks on. Will never go back there again. This is a pandemic and I didn't feel safe eating there. And I will also tell all

Really zero stars. Staff is terrible. Messed up my order and then when called to complain blamed me! I've been ordering egg sandwiches for 25 years and this time I order it wrong?!?! Will never go back. Bagels are blah. What they gave me for the sandwich was gross and the staff stinks.

Five stars for the bagels. They are delicious and the spreads are great. The atmosphere is good. Very bright. Clean. All good. The service is not friendly but they are efficient. At least very early in the morning. The coffee is drip only. Even a basic barista would up this places game big time.

This is just a review of the coffee or lack of. If you have 6 self-serve canisters of coffee, there should be coffee in one of them, right? Only if you want regular--all the flavored ones were empty. Perhaps they were for show? A cruel tease imo...

Used to be great and fresh. Not any more. The staff are good except for the bigger spanish girl who will absolutely mess up your order. The guy Joe is the best there!
If you need to be somewhere go elsewhere. They take forever!

Hooked on the lunch specials. I have been a patron of Stien's for about 5 years now. The prices are on the higher end of normal for most things, especially breakfast. Lunch stuff not as bad. The lunch specials I am currently hooked on with a drink will come out to just over $10. which I conciser normal for lunch. Price aside, food taste and quality are also on the high end of normal/expected.
Its worth noting that in a 5 year span, I have no complaints.

I come here a couple times a week because my daughter doesn't eat pork, and this is the only place i can find with turkey bacon. Everything is always cold. Blank stares from employees. Never once got my order correct when i call in, even though it is written down correctly. Bagels are basically just bread. high price, low quality food. Never a smile behind the counter.

I'll give them 3.5 stars. I have had both breakfast and lunch here. More a fan of their sandwiches than their bagels. They have a very large menu board with sandwiches, salads, paninni's, grill items and much more. I find it a little overwhelming but they make a decent sandwich. The price is a little on the higher side but in line with the rest of the delis in the area. The sandwiches are large in size and very filling. They also have some hot prepared items, along with some desert options. Service seems slow side when crowded despite the fact they seem to have enough employees.

This place has gone down the pooper. Don't know whether or not its due to the fact no one of authority (owner/manager) is ever present, but the staff is careless, slow, complacent. Just today, my wife went to pick up egg sandwiches on bagels, and we found they gave us sandwiches without eggs and hardly cooked taylor ham (still very pink).

We have been going to Steins on the weekends for years now, and lately all we notice is the steady decline. They are comparatively more pricey to other shops, and in the past the service and quality of food made up for it. Now it has become somewhere
