Best Bagels & Deli PERMANENTLY CLOSED

I went here for an early morning bagel and coffee, right at opening time 7 a.m. As I walked into this establishment they were obviously just opening up and preparing their bagels. When the guy behind the counter noticed me he yelled out to someone in the back "Who unlocked the door" then said to me that they were not open yet. I responded with "your sign says you open at 7, and it is 7. As I turned to leave, this same gentlemen says to me all right what do you want! My response was "nothing now, I'll go somewhere else where they'll want my business and I'll be treated with some respect." So back to Dunkin I went, never to return.

Visited on Monday July 27 at 9:20am. The restaurant was not full and the sign stated to wait to be seated. I did. A waitress finally saw me waiting and told me to sit anywhere. I did. I sat for 10 minutes without a menu, without even being acknowledged that I was even in the restaurant. After that I got up and walked out. These waitresses are pros at not making eye contact for fear that they might have to actually wait on someone. Very rude!

Breakfast is always the best at this establishment. The early morning breakfast menu (from opening until 10am) is a bit limited, but well priced. They are kid-friendly too, which is a PLUS for us!

Went for lunch at 2:00 .It was not crowded maybe 8 tables with people.Took over 20 minutes for food to come out.Ordered a bagel with ham and Swiss and chicken fingers.The chicken fingers were the frozen kind like you can by in the store,the fries that came with it were cold and tasted like they were cooked in old oil.They said they could not gut the bread out of the bagel because of health dept reasons, and they could not heat the bagel up either. The waitress was very rude and I was listening to another waitress at a table close by and she was also rude to the people at the table. For the prices they charge for there food the waitresses should have a little respect. Lunch was 24.00. I will not be back.The food should be a lot better.

We ordered our food at 11:00 a.m. for delivery, we told them we need it by 12. We didn't receive our lunch till 12:45 and our lunch time is only from 12-1 then they messed the whole order up and the bagels we ordered were burnt. Horrible service!

My family and I eat there quite often, too often really :) The food is beyond excellent, the best in Palm Coast! The very hungry breakfast is enough for my family of 3 to share! I have never had a problem with the service and the owner, Alan and hostess, Carol are the absolute best! I recommend them to everyone!

The main reason I am giving this restaurant 3 stars instead of 4 is mainly because of the waitstaff that works there. My friends and I ate there twice; food was good and owners were very nice and pleasant. However, both times two servers were unpleasant and unwelcoming. And what is up paying $1.25 for a can of soda?! The restaurant does not have a soda fountain and they charge $ 1.25 per can and no refills!

Having written a previous negative review, it is only fair that I now update that opinion with a most positive one. The owner of this establishment took the time out of an extremely busy schedule to write me a personal letter regarding our experience at his deli. The letter was respectful and showed deep concern for his business and for his customers. Since he went to the trouble of writing, I went to speak with him in person and discuss the experience my friends and I had at the deli. He is most anxious to correct whatever displeased us. It is clear that he strives to please all customers. As I said in the previous review, my complaint was never about the food, which is very good indeed. I am sure the problems we had during our visit there will not happen again, and I would urge all readers to try this deli. I intend to return often.

Five of us went there yesterday. Two out of the five orders were incorrect. The server did not return to refill the iced tea, and was not very attentive throughout the meal. When I received my bill, there was a "miscellaneous kitchen extra" on it. Puzzled, we asked the server. We were told that an Asiago bagel, even though it is listed with all the other ones, costs 35 cents more. The server also made sure to point out that Asiago cheese is quite expensive nowadays. In addition, my friend was charged an extra 80 cents for butter for her bagel. That amounts to the price of a stick of butter.

In tough economic times, both businesses and customers are trying to make a living. I understand that. But let's use a little common sense. Why is Strathmore nickel and diming us like this? Why do they not include the price of butter with the bagel, and have all the bagels the same price? After all, sesame seeds on a bagel are also expensive, cinnamon, raisins, etc. also cost, and an everything bagel has, well, everything. The bagel, incidentally, was good. The experience was not, and luckily there are other deli's in town.

Another wannabe deli!! If I wanted to spend ten dollars for a sandwich I would go to Firehouse or Larry's. At least then I'dd be filled. Honestly, lower the price. Too expensive for not that great of food.

My girlfriend and I had the wonderful chance to have breakfast at Strathmore Deli on Sunday morning. We were immediately greeted and seated upon entering. We were asked if we wanted a table or booth which was very nice because we are not "skinny" and do not like booths. Our server was so sweet and attentive to our needs. She was very professional yet talked with us on a personal level. We enjoyed the best coffee and food we have ever had in Palm Coast. This is the best place to eat in town! Not only is the food awesome, they give you a lot of food. I was not hungry all day after that meal and that is very unusual for me to be full all day. What a great place to eat!

The best coffee in town. We can't get enough when we are there. The sandwiches are huge and fantastic. Honestly, I can't talk about each thing individually because it would take too long. Never had anything but great food there. We loved our waitresses. The breakfasts, the pickles, the baked goods, etc.... I am now hungry so I have to go!

Excellent sandwiches. As far as complaints about the price, the sandwich prices are comparable or less than some delis "up north". The sandwiches come with fries and one side. A Reuben at a prime deli up north would be $10-$12 with no sides except pickles. We had Reubens, one corned beef and one turkey, and we have no complaints. Large meat portions, lean corned beef and good rye bread. This is one of the best eating experiences in Palm Coast.

I had lunch at Strathmore's last week and I was very, very impressed. It was an early lunch so I had a smoked salmon omelet, coffee and oatmeal. It was the best coffee I think I have had in years; the omelet was huge and delicious and even the oatmeal was excellent. We also had two bowls of soup just to "try" that were so obviously homemade and out of this world and some yummy homemade pickles. We had Carol as our waitress and she was very attentive and gracious and fun. My daughter went there again this weekend and had pancakes that were so huge that she had breakfast the next day. They were also delicious as was everything else. It was just overall a great experience and we can't wait to go back. I am glad we finally got there because we were very pleased.

I just got back from eating at this place and it is absolutely wonderful I can certainly understand why there was a 20 minute wait. At first I was a little put out by having to wait but a very pleasant lady brought around samples and I was encouraged to try anything I wanted to sample at the deli counter. The wait went so quickly and it was well worth it.

I was amazed at the selection and the freshness. I don't even know where to begin with this review because it was my first time and it has now become my favorite restaurant . There were 6 of us and I'll start with the service. from the minute we walked in and were greeted by the hostess with a big friendly smile, it felt that we were regulars. Our server, April was really friendly and bent over backwards for us. We all ate different things so we could taste each others. There wasn't one thing that we didn't like. Two had breakfast, Eggs benedict (wonderful) and an omelets. It was so large it was off the plate. The homefries, grits, country ham and bagels with cream cheese were great! Needless to say that meal was so filling and there were leftovers. One person in our party had a Reuben and said it was the best he's ever had. Another had Soup (definitely homemade) and 1/2 corned beef sandwich. If that was half I wonder what big the whole is. Another raved about the chicken salad and the last person had a hot brisket with gravy. No wonder why the place was packed. The corned beef, pastrami, turkey etc. were all homemade and we even got desserts to bring home. What a warm and fuzzy place. the owners came over and we chatted awhile and when we left we were old friends already. A definite thumbs up for anyone who likes great food!

I have been going to your shop since it opened. I have seen changes made some were good some not good. My biggest complaint is one on Saturday morning on my way to work I called ahead to place and order. Everything Bagel w/cc & medium tea with milk. The girl who answered sounded like I was bothering her & she kept me on hold for 10 minutes. I went to the store and waited for help. I did tell her she left me on hold and never came back. She replied I had a customer. I told her that I understood that but all she had to do was tell me that not leave me on hold. Finally, she was able to take my order. Other workers were coming in after 8 maybe two people should be there when the store opened. Also I had exact change but they need change for another customer. I will continue to go to Strathmore but I hope service changes.

My husband and I tried Strathmore for the first time yesterday. We were highly impressed. I have worked in multiple restaurants and traveled the world and I am hard to please when eating out. I thought the Strathmore was excellent, the portions were hefty and the quality was there. Please try the lobster bisque, it is out of this world! The plates were garnished nicely which always adds a touch of class to your meals. The wait staff was very pleasant and the owner came around to ask us how the meal was. They truly care about their customers. We'll definitely be returning.

The bagels are good, but the high prices keep this place from getting 5 stars. Also, it'd be nice to be able to get some warmer fresher tasting bagels at 10-11am, than those that seem like they have been out for several hours.

Also, I can't wait until winter time comes, because they are going to have the LARGEST bagels you have ever seen. At least they should, since they have the SMALLEST right now and blame that on heat and humidity.

I have been to Strathmore's 3 times now. While the food was tasty the prices are excessive for lunch. As for the service the owner is always quite pleasant as are the folks behind the counter. I have yet to have attentive, kind service from either of the 2 different waitresses I have had. They are abrupt and act as if I am a minor annoyance to them. I'm so sorry but I won't be back and was truly looking forward to having an authentic deli in Palm Coast.

Overall the quality of most products to go and in the restaurant are very good, and this is the only place in the area to get this type of food.

We eat breakfast there every week and the food and service is very good, and the breakfast specials are also a good value, ie, eggs, home fries, bagel or bialy, and coffee or tea for $4.50.

Their sandwiches, corned beef and pastrami, are very tasty, the rye bread is so so, but the portion for almost $9 is very little meat.

My biggest complaint which is a major negative when talking about the quality of the food, thus a very good rating not excellent, is this is the place to go if you want day or more old rolls and breads to go! The staff when asked will admit that most of the time when asked the rolls, Kaiser, have been made the day before, as is the case for the rye breads, and challah, kept in plastic bags. If you want to sell day old breads and rolls put a sign out to let everyone know they are paying full price for day or older breads.

Fortunately so far the bagels are made fresh daily, even though on a regular basis the size on many seems to have shrunk. I can't speak to the baked goods as I rarely buy them.

Please change your practices on the breads and rolls so I can purchase them fresh the same day or at a discount like all other bakeries if I so choose.
