While out shopping we were looking for a breakfast/lunch stop and found up-RYES was nearby. The Hungry Jack sounded amazing to me (I got it without the aioli), my wife had the Brisket biscuit, and we each ordered a bagel (all to-go.)

The good: the Hungry Jack was amazing. Really don't know what to say. Eggs were just right, it was loaded, but not messy, spicy tomato jam was delicious, and the Challah bun was light, but held together. (I gave the biscuit a try which was also good, but I preferred my sandwich).

So not only was my order made 20 minutes earlier than told, which made my eggs cold, but also wasnt placed at the location stated at the store for pickup, and had a mediocre cold bagel sandwich. Despite the consistent bad service, the bagels are the best in the area, so I used to sacrifice service for food quality, but it would be foolish to...
