Some shady business practices here at The Great American Bagel at Harry Reid International. We usually stop there when we have early morning flights because nothing else is open. It's not bad.
I witnessed some very unethical practices by the cashier last week. I'm actually ashamed of myself for not stepping in... but I didn't speak the guy's language and I was short on time.

I bought a bagel sandwich at St Louis airport location. Sat down to eat and dropped it on the floor. Went back to order one and the staff refused to charge me for another one. They were friendly and cheerful. I would definitely recommend this location.
I absolutely love the bagels! I look forward to being in the right terminal at the Chicago airport! It makes the crazy long walk so worth it! Yummmm!!!! I’d pay $7 for it 😂

The Great American Bagel Bakery is a friendly spot at the airport, known for fast service and a variety of bagel options. The menu includes the Turkey and cheese bagel, which customers find "VERY good," and the jalapeño cheddar bagel, recommended by staff. The atmosphere is welcoming, and there are kind gestures, like a customer anonymously paying for another’s meal. The coffee is only "OK," and they do not offer hot chocolate despite what’s on the board. The bakery is also a good place to grab a quick bite or pick up a bagel to go. While staff can sometimes be a bit brisk, the overall experience is positive, especially for breakfast or a quick snack before a flight. Customers appreciate the toasted bagels, especially when prepared well, and the reasonable prices make it a convenient option.
