Brighton Beach Bagel Bakery

Unfriendly counter service, not able to answer any menu questions, not answered. Matzo ball soup salty and Matzo ball completely cold inside. I couldn't eat it. Corned beef sandwich was cold, but at least it wasn't salty. Potato salad had no taste of any kind. The tables had a sanitary sign on them, but were dirty. Big restaurant and they use ONLY disposable, so much plastic and polystyrene, so much waste... but then the Florida is where we do not recycle and we do not believe in sustainability or climate change.

3/22/2023I along with friend had lunch at this restaurant today. We had the lobster roll that was recommended to us by the counterman to order. It was the worst lobster roll I ever had; as was my friends. The lobster was made up of lobster claws; no lobster bodies. The size of the roll was huge with to much bread inside the roll and not well grilled Actually the lobster wss uneatable and stringy.

I am from New England. To be specific, from Cape Cod. After moving to south Florida a few years ago, one of our primary missions has been to find good fresh seafood (at a reasonable price) like we had on the Cape. We have looked everywhere. Finally we came across Brighton Beach Bagel in Delray. The owners are experienced restauranteurs from New England. The seafood menu is authentic and the food is absolutely delicious. We can get great NE Clam Chowder!!! The fried clams and lobster rolls are awesome!! I highly recommend BBB&B!

A friend told us about the seafood at Brighton Beach Bagel Bakery, so that is what we went to try. This place is not fancy but it was clean. You order at the counter and they bring the food to your table. Everyone was friendly. The food was served hot and as ordered. It was very good and it was nice to find a place with whole belly clams, outside of New England. Our group ordered a lobster salad sandwich (medium size), New England clam chowder and clam cakes, fried whole belly clams and a grilled chicken sandwich. Everything was tasty. Clam cakes were a little dense, but still very good. I looked at what they had at the bakery, but did not buy anything. It was about 6:30 so the bakery cases were not as full as they probably were in the morning, but what they had looked good especially the Linzer cookies, which I will go back to buy. We thought everything was reasonably priced and we will go back.

Bagels are OK. Definitely much better places around. Ordered 2 egg special. All you could taste was the cooking spray they use on the grill. Taste was so strong we had to throw them away. Always check your order. They are known to forget something. And yes, they forgot 1 of 3 bagels. I have given this place chance after chance to impress. Yet they continue to make the same mistakes. The only reason they are still open is location. Close to retirement communities with people who like ok food that is a short drive. If your a local or just a visitor I highly recommend moving on and trying some other amazing breakfest/bagel spots around town.
