Probably the best lox bagel I’ve ever had. ~GA

Shelsky’s is one of the few authentic, old school mom and pop delis left in New York (or anywhere else in the US, for that matter). ~AV

Even if you’re not a fish lover, Shelsky’s has hands down the best sandwiches in Brooklyn. My husband is truly addicted to the hot pastrami and to their Reuben. ~AS

It’s a rare treat to find a restaurant that is as true to form as Shelsky’s. ~AL

Every time I’m in NYC I make sure to make a bee-line to Shelsky’s to grab some salmon bacon and bagels to take back to DC. ~SW

The smoked salmon is amazing.  The fish is always fresh and reliable. Everyone is very helpful and friendly. ~CC

Woaao! Amazing taste ! super Friendly team! I recommend this place if you are in downtown Brooklyn! ~LG

Delicious bagels made the right way in seems to be a disappearing art in NYC , so I am soo glad that Shelsky’s took up the charge.  The bagels are not those giant monstrosities others call a bagel but a manageable chewy well done work of art.  ~DR

Wow!!! This place is legit, best bagels in Brooklyn, rich and just the right amount of chew. We took bagels and coffee to go, then came back for another dozen. ~BP
