The guy running the register greeted us as we walked in the door. He was very pleasant. The restaurant is military friendly, which is important to us since we have many family members that are veterans. The bagels were delicious and the homemade strawberry spread was fabulous!

My husband and I love salt bagels (they are hard to find) and since we've moved closer to Downtown Knoxville, I found Best Bagels in Town and ordered a dozen with cream cheese and scallions on the side; they are awesome! Even though it was a take out order, we will definitely be back!

The bagels and cream cheese were good. The guys working there were great. But the place could be cleaner.

The only reason I bought the certificate was because I love the Sporty Bagels. Guess what? They discontinued them! Very disappointed.

Not much choice for vegetarians. The pizza vegetarian bagel was horrible! My wife took only one bite of it and threw away the rest!

The hot tea selection was poor. Lipton was the only choice. Recommend offering specialty tea such as green tea or Earl Gray, English Breakfast, etc.

Went for lunch -- meat was good but bagels were hard. That's why I gave a 4 and not a 5.

Sandwich was quite tasty and the bagels were still very fresh even after noon.
