Ordered delivery from the Lox - super efficient ordering and delivery, and the sandwich was just as perfect and delicious as I remember and was expecting. Got the egg and cheese sandwich with Pastrami. Both filling and exceptionally flavorful!
Fast paced service & a lot of call ahead orders. We should have asked for the bacon well done but other than that this is a solid bagel spot. The hot sauce is a more of a hearty Smokey sauce but it was pretty good. Glad we stopped.
RUN, DON'T WALK to The Lox Bagel Shop!! We got The Lox on an Everything bagel and Pastrami on the Sea Salt & Herb bagel. OH MY GOD, everything was chef's kiss! The bagels were the perfect flavor and texture (I'm from New York so I know my bagels). The lox sandwich had the perfect amount of everything, with a generous pile of lox. And my goodness, the Pastrami is out of this world! So so tender and juicy. One of my favorite bites this year so far! We came for a quick lunch before they closed but the restaurant itself is very cute. Would love to hang out for an afternoon here. The people at the counter are super friendly and walked us through the menu. What a lovely place! And a few free parking spots up front too!
I just want to start with WOW! How could I have not had this before?! The restaurant is always super packed which made me choose other options. On Saturday, I decided to give it a try and The Lox did not disappoint at all. The line goes really fast and the service is pretty amazing. Parking is limited but Short North always has street parking. While waiting in line, the lady behind me suggested me to try the sea salt and herb bagel and it was incredible. I ended up getting the Southwest that comes with egg, cheese, salsa, avocado and some sweet pepper on that bagel. I need to have this again as soon as possible. I also got the blueberry mint lemonade that was so good. Seating was a little hard to come by but once you find a seat, it is a great environment. Definitely check out the Lox next to me you're in the Short North.
The Lox is a must - taste spot in the heart of Columbus. Order any of their flavored beverages, I tried the blueberry lemonade and the classic Lox Bagel. Dine in as they have plenty of seating space, indoor and outside on patio. Only gripe is one dozen bagels cost 15 dollars! Wish it was more reasonable pricing for bulk bagels.
Came here while visiting Columbus after seeing many online reviews and advice from friends not to miss this. Parking is definitely tough on a weekend and lines get long, but seating is easy enough as people rotate through as they finish their meals. I ordered the lox bagel sandwich and my husband ordered something with beef steak and eggs and an everything bagel with the chive cream cheese. I also had the blueberry mint lemonade - sooo refreshing! Everything was delicious and kept us full for hours. These are some of the best bagels we've had!
Featured in bon appétit magazine : the very best bagels in the us (yes, outside new york). My friend told me I had to try this spot, so I thought breakfast would be the perfect time to stop by for one of their breakfast sandwiches. I went with the everything bagel, sausage, egg and cheese sandwich...yum! I also saw some cute gingerbread men cookies, so just had to get me a few of those for later. The space is a cute, trendy spot. I got here just in time, because it is now packed with people and the line is out the door. I couldn't wait to dig into my sandwich. The wait was intense because I am so hungry. I ordered mine to go, but I couldn't wait to dig in so I took a big bite as soon as I got in the car. The cheese was gooey and the sandwich was so delicious. I've found a new great spot! Try it out.
