Baken is superb!

Jan 2020 • none

I had a very good breakfast here- somewhat traditional- potatoes, eggs, but with a bagel and baken, which is a kosher beef bacon. The meat was the highlight! The rest was very good, I liked the potatoes, crisp, not mushy. My eggs were perfectly over-easy. Not a lot of parking. Crowded and a wait at times, but well worth a visit!

Great food- too bad Covid-19 did not give my girls a chance to experience a true deli

Jul 2020 • none

The amount of meat you get on your sandwiches is exactly what you see in the pictures. You might do better splitting a sandwich with your family/friend...if, you can agree on a sandwich. The onion roll, which my husband and oldest had, was really good. My youngest got a burger on rye. She really liked her bread but thought the burger was too well done for her taste. The potato knish was very flavorful. My oldest liked it best with the purple cabbage. My youngest like it best with mustard. The cheese blintz was the perfect sweet ending. As I waited for our food, I was able to look at the other offerings- homemade cream cheese spread, bakery items, and the various meat salads.

Delicious - and a non-ordinary dining experience

Feb 2022 • none

I was looking for something different for a friend and I as we visited Denver today. Neither of us had ever been to a "Jewish deli" before, so it seemed like a great idea. It was! What a popular place. I'm glad we got there early because there was a 30 minute wait for a table. The menu had a lot of options. We decided to order a Philly beef and a Reuben on rye and split them so that we had double experiences. They were both amazing. HUGE sandwiches! Delicious, flavorful, beautifully-balanced flavors, HUGE. And plenty - did I mention that? I selected coleslaw as a side. Those who love typical coleslaw would probably love this. I prefer my coleslaw not "goopy" and not overly sweet. This was typical. Both sandwiches were served with a nice dill pickle quarter. The reuben came with a delightful horseradish (turned beautiful red by beet juice, I think) and a 1000 island sauce. That was good. The coffee? meh. I'll definitely skip that next time. The ambiance? Not the least bit quiet. We were able to carry on a good conversation, but not too easily. Lively, a little loud, lots of movement. That's it's own kind of experience. Cost? Well, that's hard to measure because it's pretty subjective. I did come home with a little take-home container crammed full of about half of a gynormous sandwich, but it was still a little higher than I would pay on a regular basis. But for the "unique" experience that it was for us, it was worth it. We totally enjoyed it.

A FOOD NETWORK restaurant must

Mar 2021 • family

Everything about this restaurant was incredible. The service was exceptional. From the hostess welcoming us in, to our server Laurie. Drinks were never empty, Laurie was so friendly and knowledgeable about the menu (she gave us recommendations) it was perfect. The food was fabulous we ordered the Reuben sandwiches, potato salad, chili, and chicken salad. Everything was fresh and homemade. I wish we lived closer. If your nearby this is an absolute must. Highly recommend!

Bad service!

Oct 2022 • family

Had breakfast this morning at the Bagel deli had been there before many times. Most of the time I have had good service and good food but I’ve noticed that the consistency of food quality would vary, alot. On several occasions I’ve had to ask to redo certain items. To be exact I always order the Meat and eggs breakfast. It’s a basic eggs beef bacon potatoes and bagel breakfastl. I like my eggs over medium so as not to get the semi opaque underdone egg white. Several times I’ve had to ask them to please redo my eggs over medium. Twice now I’ve received again eggs just over easy with runny semi cooked eggs whites. One time after returning the eggs a second time I was told to ask for extra extra over medium eggs. So today I went in got a dirty coffee cup that didn’t taste right, runny eggs twice, undercooked beef bacon. They even brought me two orders at the same time of under cooked medium extra extra BS eggs after the first round of extra extra eggs! Still got we’ll done extra extra insulting billl! Lol!! I will never be going back.

Corned Beef, Yes

Mar 2020 • none

As a native New Yorker I am always in search of the best corned beef wherever I live, that happens to be Denver these days. I'd been Jonesing for some deli for a couple of weeks and the internet led me to the Bagel Deli and Restaurant. We, my girlfriend and I, were not disappointed. We went half and half with the regular and lean corned beef, grabbed a couple of potato knishes, and a quart of matzo ball soup. The corned beef was excellent, and the knishes, while not your typical NY-style, were fantastic. The soup was good, not great, and I think I detected a little rosemary in the matzo balls, nice touch. While paying for my take out order I noticed some decent looking bagels, so picked up a couple, and they were pretty good.

Very Large Reubens

Jun 2021 • none

We had seen this restaurant reviewed on the Food Channel's Diners, Drive-ins, and Dives and we knew we had to try it. The location is a bit off the beaten path in a strip mall. We were greeted and seated promptly. Our order was taken by our very friendly and outgoing waiter, listed as number 8 on our receipt. We both wanted their classic Reuben sandwich, but he convinced us to order one and share. When it arrived, we knew why - it was huge. It came with a pickle and potato salad/chips for my wife, and thousand island dressing and horseradish on the side. We had a difficult time finishing it but would heartedly recommend this restaurant to anyone who likes deli food. We also bought a raspberry strudel to take to our hotel for supper. It was also very good

Nobody in Colorado Does It Better for my NY Deli Memories

Mar 2021 • none

I was born and raised in Brooklyn, NY. Some of my fondest memories are when my family would go to our local Jewish Deli's. When I first walked into The Bagel Deli & Restaurant nearly 25 years ago, I felt like I was home again in Brooklyn. I love that it's both a restaurant and a deli where I can go to the counter and take home a vast array of my favorite foods. It's not just because of the incredible food they serve from their outstanding menu, it's also because of the wonderful owners Joe & Rhoda, son Jarrod and the rest of their devoted team! I have to drive nearly 50 miles to get there but I can assure you it's definitely worth the drive! Whether it's for breakfast, lunch or dinner, I absolutely love this place!!! Nobody in Colorado does it better!

I was so happy!

May 2021 • none

It's not much to look at from the outside. But I ate there on a Tuesday morning with my wife and son and it was wonderful. She had blintzes. My son and I both had scrambled eggs with spinach, feta and sun dried tomatoes. The best thing though were the wonderful bagels that came with the eggs. I had onion, he had pumpernickel. There was a generous amount of butter for the bagels though I am sure they'd serve cream cheese if that's how you roll. I wish I had been able to make it back for lunch. I would have loved a New York style pastrami sandwich. Oh well, I'll try for one the next time I'm in Denver. I highly recommend this place!

Delivery of a gift dinner with awful results

Aug 2023 • family

A gift dinner was ordered for delivery from an out of town relative, which should of contained 3 regular corn beef sandwiches. What was delivered was TWO sandwiches (with inconsistent amounts of meat) and one cream cheese and lox on a bagel. We called them as soon as we opened THEIR bag and they offered no acceptable solution. Do not order from this restaurant. Horrible customer service. Thus we were short a sandwich for our dinner. Just go to NY Deli News just down the street from this flunky place. Never had an issue there and they are open for dinner.

Small neighborhood family deli featuring great service and amazing food

Mar 2021 • none

We were visiting Denver and picked this as our last meal before leaving town. Oh, my goodness, am I glad we did. I had a Ruben and the corned beef was piled high, and packed with flavor. The staff were all super friendly and helpful. They treated us as first-time guests to a Rhally bar too. I would be a regular if they were closer to my home. What a treat eating here was.

Sub Par Pastrami

Jul 2023 • couples

Having had a fabulous meal at this deli in the past, we arrived with high expectations. We were greeted and seated right away, water was provided, and our orders taken - a hot pastrami sandwich to share and a cheese blintz. Unfortunately, the meat was very stringy and full of fat and gristle. The cheese blintz was very good and we took two bagels to our hotel for supper. If I had it to do again, I'd avoid the pastrami and choose the corned beef.

The best place for Breakfast

Mar 2021 • family

My mom and I came here at least 4 times after the indoor dining room was reopen to the public. Their food is very good. I never order the same thing twice. It was so good to try different things. A definitely local hidden gem.

Old School Deli

Dec 2020 • family

A pastrami Reuben, a Turkey Reuben, a Triple Decker, a chicken salad... piled high on good bread. The side dishes were small, but one look at the sandwich and that became a non-issue! We are from out of state... the staff was awesome and were doing a great job of online ordering and Covid-safe pickup for our visit. I would love to come back when “dine in” is back in vogue, and truly get to experience this great deli.

You need to eat there about four times while you’re in Denver

Jan 2023 • family

I threw 1000 miles just to come eat at this place and I do not regret it one bit. We’re going back for breakfast tomorrow morning. The portions are huge should be prepared to take food home or just share if you’re not gonna take food back to the hotel with you but it’s spectacular.
