I’ve only eaten inside once in e last year. It was crowded. Noisy, boisterous. And the waitstaff could not be more aggressive than they were. It seemed like almost everyone around me loved this vibe. Frankly, I did not, especially being on top of the tables around me and the real overweight guy in the booth adjacent to me pushing the booth back so he could get in and by doing so he pushed our table.
The food was huge portions and good. The coffee was hot and well prepared and refilled constantly even when you said “no more”.
I’m a pick-up the order guy. And am consistent with what I order: corned beef on rye with a side of latke or French fries. Corn muffins when they have them, but they seem to run out quickly. They are very large and tasty. We love their chicken salad and Cole slaw. Both are a creamy consistency. The grilled chicken sandwich is great as is the Caesar wrap chicken sandwich.
I marked the atmosphere three stars and that is for the inside dining as well as pick-up windows. The pick-up windows remind me of the skit on Seinfeld with the soup nazi.
At Flakowitz, you order at one window (left side) and step aside and go to the next window (right side) to pay) but only when your name is called. If you linger too long ordering or don’t move quickly after ordering the men or women working there glare at you and sometimes shout to move away. And if you stand near the pick-up window before your name is called they shout to move away. It’s actually amusing to watch. And I forgot to mention, they have these metal food carts positioned in front of each window so you cannot get too close to the staff inside. Of course, this also demands you speak loudly. It’s a Flakowitz scene, all the regulars know the drill.
The food is plentiful and great. And the prices are high, but all restraints have high prices these days.
Enjoy. And behave when online.

We’ve visited Flakowitz more than 100 times since it opened.
Earlier this week, we purchased bagels and bialies. The bagels were as expected but the bialies were best described as Kaiser rolls with some onions on top. We threw 4 of them out after having eaten 1.
Today, we had a sundown breakfast there. We were seated quickly and were provided iced coffee and milk by the busboy/expediter/wearer of assorted hats fellow that’s been there for as long as I can remember. He’s likely the most efficient employee there.
We ordered a toasted sesame bagel/egg/sausage/cheese sandwich & home fries and a ham, cheddar cheese, & mushroom omelette with a toasted sesame seed bagel and oatmeal. We waited a long time for the order and the bagel sandwich had bacon. The oatmeal was never served. Once we had everything, we commented that there was nothing great about either dish. The eggs were dry and the cheese was hardly melted on the bagel sandwich. The eggs and entire omelette was dry and not enjoyable. I usually eat it all but, didn’t eat a quarter of it. Not a good experience at all. Really a waste of $50.

Flakowitz has been around forever for really good reasons. They are the nicest people, they don't charge an arm and a leg for a good meal, and they always get your order out fast and exactly how you ordered it.

Quick service for a busy Saturday morning. The pound cake to start the meal, had me excited for what was to come. The corned beef hash was delicious. The sliced tomatoes were fresh, juicy and firm. My everything bagel was also super yummy! Portions are huge so bring your appetite. Coffee was good too. My first visit and I would go back for sure. I'd recommend them if you are looking for a hearty meal!

I could not believe the way an employee was treated by the other staff. An older waitress Tripped and fell on her back. No one responded to her aid. Holly a nurse from the past stated she has a job to do and would not assist Joanne who fell. We had to suggest for them to call an ambulance. No one assisted this poor waitress. This is unethical and disgusting. I would never support such an establishment. Customers should boycott this establishment.
Upon walking in a customer had fallen and Holly assisted him and stated it’s common instinct to help as her nursing experience kicked in. Where was it when Joanne fell.
The manager and staff should be trained and be more compassionate towards the staff.
This is disgusting . Tables are too close together, causing injuries or potential injuries in the future. Ergonomically the restaurant needs to be re-shaped and redesigned to accommodate such falls and elderly.
I as a customer was embarrassed with how the staff dealt with the situation. Lack of compassion also as well as unethical ways of dealing with their own staff everybody backed off, including management and the nurse.. I will never be there again.
Always a pleasure to have a meal in there. Friendly hostess, good servers and delicious food

First time at this and my last time at this place…as soon as I walked I was not greeting a good morning..but I did greet her..she was a shorty chubby woman that needs to be taught how to smile and greet customers ..I was alone and requested a both that was available..but she said at this time of morning I cant give you that booth..There were many single customers at a booth..I have a bad back it didn’t seem to matter to the short chubby woman at the door..I ordered a bagel,there bagels are big and they gave me a small container of cream cheese enough for one side..I requested extra and the waiter said the manager said it would be an extra .50 cents lol just saying that to a customer is embarrassing to there restaurant…I am a food critic for over 25 years this place needs help…literally and it starts with the owner and staff…
