I ordered the redskin potatoes and vegetarian cheesesteak. The redskin potatoes were DELICIOUS! Very well seasoned and tender. The only complaint is the ketchup/sauce does not have much flavor and is quite thin. You have to pack it on to taste anything. Other than that, amazing potatoes! The vegetarian cheesesteak was also pretty good but I felt it was missing something. It needed more zing or seasoning of some sort but I couldn't put my finger on it. Maybe onion powder? Italian seasoning? Not too sure, but regardless I had never tried the vegetarian meat option on this cheesesteak and I was pleasantly surprised at how good it was. I also loved the amount of peppers on there. Additionally, my husband ordered the nachos so I got to take some (a lot) of bites. They were also very tasty. My only complaint is the toppings aren't layered on the chips. This means you eat the top layer and are left with naked chips on the bottom. I give the food overall a 4/5! The pricing was nice for the portions. No complaint there, especially considering the allergy friendly options that we ordered due to my mom's gluten allergy. The atmosphere was chill. There were a decent amount of people there but for a group of 3 it was hard to find seating. We only had one option: put 2 small tables together, and there were only 2 small tables left. The staff was very friendly and happy to answer any questions we had. I'm pregnant and was worried I couldn't try my husband's nachos (queso is usually a watchout for pregnant women), but the staff reassured us that the queso was vegetarian/vegan (can't remember which one). Very nice and friendly people for sure. Would I come back to this establishment? Yes! It's not my typical food style but my mom has been wanting to try it and I was pleasantly surprised as well. I recommend you try it too.

We have ordered via Uber Eats a few times now. I have celiacs, and there is a nice variety of options. My personal favorite is the gluten free french toast. The surfer girl omelet is also very good and the portions are good. Thank you for giving us GF folks a safe breakfast option!

Perfect 5-STAR experience at the Kenwood Cooper's Hawk location yesterday, celebrating Valentine's Day at lunchtime. REILLY provided exceptional and highly attentive service, especially with regard to our gluten and dairy restrictions. She was very courteous and professional. We have visited several Cooper Hawk's across Dayton/Cincinnati area (Kenwood, Liberty Centre, Centerville) and the KENWOOD location is clearly superb in all aspects.

I ordered the Reuben on gluten free bread. It's hard to beat a warm and tasty Reuben. The gluten free bread is very good. It's just white bread but you just can't have a Reuben without bread so I try to fine delis with gluten free bread options like McAlisters has. I'm very happy with my deli sandwich for lunch today! I'll be back for sure.

This review is specific to catering - if you haven't had a Bagelry bagel yet, you need to run immediately to either location to try 1 or an entire dozen. And then, you need to plan a catering drop off for your next office gathering or party. The Premium Breakfast Buffet that we just had with meats, cheese, eggs, bagels and fruit was stellar. It's a great set-up (and hot!), best quality and a good price for what you are getting. And now with their gluten free option, the menu is in inclusive and awesome for all. Thanks, Bagelry!

The bagels are great, their options for sandwiches are endless, and the fresh chocolate chip cookies are the highlight of my lunch every time! This place is addicting. Not to mention freshly made in house bagels and cream cheese, what more could you ask for? Update: they now carry gluten free bagels as well, which is very hard to find at a place like this and MUCH appreciated! They are a bit more expensive but worth it for a gluten free bagel sandwich!

If you need gluten free their “unwich” is to die for. I can’t stop thinking about it! Get it Jimmy’s Way if you like a kick. The staff could probably be friendlier but what do you expect, these poor people have to wear these ridiculous masks for a virus with now less than a .045 death rate.
