“All that said, I stand by the quality of the fish they serve there. They get first choice and have strict standards for their purveyors and have the decades of relationships that ensure they get the best product.”

“You can’t go wrong with anything you order. Super Hester toast or platter is worth trying for the wasabi roe, very unique and delicious”
H3
“It's sort of the jack-of-all-trades salmon. Not too salty, not too smoky, not too fatty. Great texture. Just right.”

“I actually love Russ and Daughters' bagels, granted I've only had them at the bk location. They're a bit chewier than at other places, and I personally find that texture so addicting.”

“And we consume a *lot* of Russ & Daughters delights in this house. I love it all, but given the choice, I always go for the Wild Western Salmon.”

“Russ and daughters bagels are an embarrassment to this city. Sure the fish is good but the exact same thing available in basically every other good bagel shop without those chewy lumps of cement.”
H3
“the bagels themselves are undersized and the handful of times I’ve had them they didn’t taste particularly fresh. For the price I was paying, and the typical line out the door, I felt underwhelmed.”

“Second the bagels are worse than what you get at dunkin. Hard as a rock, small, and bland. Their fish is good but you can get similar elsewhere with less hassle.”

“I would say Russ and Daughters restaurant has better knishes than Yonah Schimmel. I find the ones from YS way too dense and heavy. R+D also has very good matzoh ball soup.”
H3
“Last time I went the bagel was stale and there was barely a slice of lox and I paid I think $20”
H3
“I think their smoked fish is really solid, it’s just the stale bagels, damp, dry tomatoes, and stringy moist onions that disappoint”

“10) Russ & Daughters - 9.7/10 - lox, scallion cream cheese and sliced tomato. I love this place so much.”

“their chopped liver is delicious. And I'm not a chopped liver kinda guy.”

“Can't recommend them enough. They're next to Katz deli and have a great selection of high quality snacks and food. I opted for the chocolate jelly Grahams which were insane.”

“For that price Russ's and his daughter are better.”

“a classic, my only bagel of the trip”

H2
“You're not doing R&D right. You buy by the pound at R&D. And then pick up bagels from your favorite place. Make your sandwich at home. Enjoy.”

“And their bagels suck”
H2
“Russ and Daughters also makes a very solid egg cream, and good herring (get the one in the cream sauce).”

H2
