My First World Problem: I live outside of Vegas and drive approximately 50 minutes each way to get my bagels at the Bagel Cafe' almost every 2 weeks for the past 10 years. I buy 14 bagels, put them in my freezer, and love them. I question the 1.5+ hour round-trip drive to get them. Today, I decided to save 5-10 minutes off my drive, avoid heavier traffic and went to the Del Mar Deli instead. I had no idea this place opened 1.5 hours later than the Bagel Cafe' and arrived 45 minutes before they opened. My fault as I should have Googled their hours instead of assuming their hours, especially with a long drive.
There were still at least six staff there getting ready for business. The bagels I came for were all done and ready and in the glass showcase inches from me. I asked if I could get the 14 to go and I would pay cash (the cost is $18 and I wanted to leave $25) since I drove 40 minutes to get bagels. I feel they should have helped me and let the cashier know to ring up 14 bagels and put the cash in the register as the 1st sale of the day.
I did not want to come home without my bagels, so I drove 45 minutes further to the Bagel Cafe'. I ended up spending 3+ hours today to get my bagels. A little common sense and understanding by the Del Mar-Deli could have avoided my waste of time and this review. I even called the boss after they opened to let him know what happened and give him a chance to not have me write a negative review. He was rude, not business-minded, and lost a...
   Read moreMy family loves the Bagel Cafe. The food is great and the service is wonderful. The problem is that it's a pretty long drive from our corner of town. With that in mind, we were delighted to find that they owned another restaurant in the South Point casino which is less than 15 minutes for us to drive to. What a disappointment it turned out to be. I get that it's hard to duplicate the ambiance when you're essentially in a casino food court but somehow the Carnegie is able to pull it off at the Mirage. The portions were bad and they were super chintzy with pickles and water. I have a pet peeve involving restaurants that give you the tiniest cup possible if you order water and then make it worse by making you bring them the cup to refill for you over and over and over and over again rather than having a tap or something. Are they trying to make me order a soda? I don't always want one of those. Is it worth their time to have to give me 11 refills in my tiny water cup rather than just giving me a normal sized cup? It doesn't matter, I won't be back to this location. It bares zero resemblance to the Bagel Cafe. The meat on my sandwich was very, very dry. I think my wife and daughter just pitched theirs. The only thing that was OK was the Matzo Ball soup and it still wasn't as good as the stuff at the...
   Read moreI was told about the pastrami sandwich and their “big ass” apple pies and other delicious desserts. And, so I made the visit to Del Mar Deli after watching movie at the theater. Both theater and the deli were located inside South Point Casino in Vegas; I didn’t have to walk far.
The line was about 5-8 people long and continued on until after I got my one slice pizza order. I had originally came for the large apple pie turnovers. Unfortunately, they ran out. What was left were other desserts such as extra large chocolate chip cookies and slices of cakes. Every dessert was large size, nothing small.
The slice of cheese pizza was not worth $5. It was ok, nothing to brag about. The slice wasn’t even large like the desserts offered.
Also, nothing special to note regarding the two staff positioned at the register, but service was fast. The order wait took several minutes.
I would return to Del Mar Deli for their apple turnovers and possibly try...
