Bayside Bagels for sure! I have been dying to go there as I'm lazy n hate driving in TR bc of the other drivers so I drive only when I MUST if then, I usually get DD bagel on the corner. But when My girls took dance Right near there and other days back then Id walk in Bayside and drop fifty bucks easy. All their food is good abd the bagels are real and good. As a Jew from NY you'll have to trust me on this if you've never been there!!!

I'd give anything for a decent bagle here in SC. I miss NJ pizza also. Someone would be very smart to open a good bagle store down here. When I'm up North, Bayside Bagels is the best.

I feel for you. Pizza in South Carolina and North Carolina is the worst!

All Star Bagels have delicious bagels that are freshly baked right on the premises. All Star Bagels also has scrumptious chicken salad and tuna salad that are homemade which you may chose to have either on a bagel or roll (I prefer their tastiest "everything bagel"). There are occasions when customers need to form a line that extends outside the door. Actions speak louder than words wouldn't you agree?

omg....
~""ALL STAR BAGELS"" IS THE BEST BAGEL PLACE I HAVE EVER BEEN TO~IN OR OUT OF NEW JERSEY!!! Since they opened 1 yr ago, I havent been to "ANY OTHER" bagel store because
""'NO BAGEL PLACE CAN ""COMPARE"" TO"'" """"ALL STAR BAGELS""""!!!
~My youngest son (13) ""ABSOLUTELY LOVES"" ""FRENCH TOAST BAGELS"", they ran out of "FRENCH TOAST BAGELS" once ""BUT""that was 10 minutes before they closed & he had a very hard time choosing which bagel to get instead because he loves them ALL. Both of my boys & my husband"LOVE" the SLIDERS!!! SLIDER SANDWICH BAGELS ARE THE ONLY SANDWICH BAGEL THEY ORDER....LOL
~All of the employees are "ALWAYS" HAPPY & SMILING no matter what time of day you visit. The employees are extremely nice to all their customers & are very quick to complete your order; whether your order is for 1 or 2 bagels, 3 dozen bagels or sandwiches, whether hot or cold, your order will be completed in a relatively short period of time.
~""ALL STAR BAGELS"" 'ALWAYS' have different specials of the day everyday, which are posted on a board next to where you place your order, which is 'very convinent' because they are very visible, (unlike other bagel places where they post their specials far from where you place your order, which is 'not convinent) & if the bagel sandwich you want is not on the menu, they will make your sandwich the way you'd like it.
~The only problem I have with ALL STAR BAGELS is that they are not open 24/7....lol

Whole lot of cheating going on here lol this poll should be closed it's totally invalid each one of these places had some kind of voting manipulation going on
JIM
5:42 am on Friday, April 20, 2012
you got that right bud,it should go by the most positive comments!!!
Pat Kelly
8:58 am on Friday, April 20, 2012
Agreed. At approximately 11:00 p.m. All-Star had about 156 votes and Bayside had about 196 votes. Who put in over 4000 votes for Bayside between 11:00 and 6:00 A.M. when most people are sleeping? Comments make the most sense for tallying. All-Star's the winner by comments for sure.
Bud Boomer
9:29 am on Friday, April 20, 2012
Actually All Star had the first round of cheating under it's belt, Your count is correct bayside was winning at that time but shortly thereafter All Star got a surge in votes and ended up with over 300 to bayside's 190ish, I forgot what time that was but it was after 11.
As for comments most of all star's comments are from people who never commented on any story on the patch ever so it seems fishy to me, I think the only fair thing for everyone is for this poll to be invalidated and no one wins.
Bud Boomer
10:03 am on Friday, April 20, 2012
I believe the most accurate tally would be at 11 pm those numbers were a heck of alot more realistic then anything after that, When all star got the surge in votes they got over 150 votes in the span of minutes which was nearly as many votes as they had since this poll started so safe to say that was phony.
If the Patch goes by comments I suggest they check posters join date as it's very strange that a lot of these comments come from accounts that never commented on the patch until this particular vote, I find it hard to believe that they could not find any another story to comment on other then a vote on a bagel shop, That's if we want to be totally fair and that option sounds the most logical to me.
Either way the final tally is quite comical, I'm sure we all agree on that.
