Ben’s Bagel Barn

Best bagels!!! Big fluffy bagels always served hot with ooey gooey cheese, and still piping hot when I get it to go and open it up at my house!

All I can say is definitely best bagels in jersey and they have alot of Patients for spcial order’s and everything always comes out perfect

I called in an order and was placed on hold for about 5 minutes where I could hear the people working. I got tired of holding so I hung up and called again and they took my order immediately. I guess they forgot about me.
I had an order for like $ 30 and apparently this place doesn’t take credit card. So, I had to use the ATM. I don’t understand why this place can’t just accept cards instead of passing the cost to the consumer. To me, that screams of cheapness and cutting corners. Not a good sign coming from someone handling my food.
Then, once you get to the place the line is kind of a free for all. The women behind the counter just kind of sit there looking pissed off while everyone jostles for position every which way attempting to get their attention.
The food was decent enough. I got Taylor Ham, egg and cheese on a Portuguese roll. It was nothing special, but did the job. I’ll give the food 3 stars but the other factors drop it down to a 1. The cash only thing really boggles my mind as it’s 2015.
The food itself doesn’t warrant a return visit when you consider the hassle of ordering and the payment options are limited. Breakfast places like these are a dime a dozen and on a hungover Sunday, I’m just looking for convenience.

A friend suggested we meet at this place for lunch. I have to get a better class of friends.
As soon as we walked in I looked at my friend and asked: «Really?»
The place looks cluttered and dirty. While my instinct was to get something safe like a bagel with cream cheese (they were out of most bagel varieties) I was lured by the chicken club special: chicken breast, bacon, lettuce, tomato, mayo.
I knew I was in trouble when the order taker asked if I wanted bacon on the sandwich. Ummm. Yes, I think shall have a chicken club with bacon, thank you very much.
It arrived pretty much on par with the place. A mess. Chicken was out of a cryovac and «grilled» beyond redemption. Tasteless. Yuck.

I’ve enjoyed a lot of bagels in my day, but Ben’s sausage egg and cheese on a toasted everything bagel is all I’ll ever need. — just wish they took card.

Bens bagel barn is good, cheap, and fast. They have a variety of breakfasts available. Coffee station as well. Just wish they were open a little longer.

Great service !! Nice family run bagel place. Everyone is so friendly and the food is fresh and bagels made daily !! They also deliver lunch to my sons school for him and other kids

I am currently a Little Ferry local and Ben’s Bagel Barn has saved me many times with their bacon egg and cheese sandwiches when I woke up not feeling so well on a Saturday morning: D
There are a lot of complaints about wait times which I noticed as well. Nowadays, I call my order in then pick it up… saves lots of time! I have ordered many breakfast sandwiches and bagels from here. Only downfall is that they are cash only.

The bagels and sandwiches are out of this world good. BUT I DO agree – the service is absolutely atrocious. Why in the hell are they always so miserable? One-​two workers there (guys) are the only ones who smile or greet you. CASH ONLY (that’s how you run a business, my friends) so yeah, I love this place for their products, NOT so much the service.
In fact, I am picking up fresh bagels from them tomorrow morning for my office on my way to work! Let’s see what these guys will think.
