Went to ShopRite got some lenders bagels they were real small compared to what I get at Walmart and a Walmart is a dollar cheaper than ShopRite. Why is that even the bags that hold them are 2 different sizes.

I usually buy my bagels at Walmart but I went to ShopRite near me and purchased them. Boy was I surprised when I opened the bag.

These bagels were way smaller than the Walmarts. And I paid a dollar more for them at ShopRite.

I think I got pranked. If you notice the bags are different sizes.

Not Happy With Lenders New Onion Bagel Recipe

Lenders Onion Bagels has been my favorite for many years. Recently, I noticed that they are extremely dry and there is no onion flavor.

I understand that sometimes updates are needed. Sadly, this update failed. Please put the same amount of onions in the new recipe that you used to put in the old recipe. Shouldn't improvements include better taste?

If so, maybe you forgot to taste your own onion bagel.

There is no onion in them! Lenders Bagels has FAILED!

User's recommendation: Don't bother buying Lenders Bagels. They forgot to include taste in their update!

The way the bagels are cut

I always buy Lender's Bagels, but my last bag was cut ridiculously. The top side was so thin, and the bottom half was thick.

I had to toast them separately. Why can't your machines cut them evenly?

User's recommendation: They are for the most part, decent.

No onions in onion begal to big I used to like smaller ones but I see no onions.Its been Luke this for yrs used to buy at Hanaford because of texture these are just flavorless I'm tired of food compa

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

Buy at Walmart Oneonta. I find them big but flavorless, not a single onion, often dried out, and they fall apart easily.

I'm tired of food chains changing ingredients and going the cheap route to save money. They used to be smaller, which made them crispy and, I repeat, no onions - it's a rip-off.

Quality control has gone way downhill

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

Bagels are hardly ever split evenly. One side is super thin and the other is wide.

Also, the bagels are extremely hard sometimes. Not the whole thing but one side. And the other side is mushy.

Strange. They used to be my favorite but now I just buy the store brand.

View full review

Preferred solution: I'd like them to improve their quality control. Some of these bagels should never make it to the customer. I can understand once in a while but this is a regular occurance.

User's recommendation: Find a different brand.

Bad bagels

Lenders Bagels - Bad bagels
Contains 2 confidential files for company representatives

Purchased onion bagels at Walmart yesterday. Got them out to use this morning and they were unusable.

One side of the bagels were rock hard, the other side was soft and mushy. Normally we love Lenders but these were just awful and such a disappointment! The POP # is76800 0****. The closure tag says Best if used by 28 NOV 23 with control #s of 131/1609 and 16:34/2373

Even more disappointing is that i ignorantly purchased 2 bags!

Its hard to find onion bagels and Im sure well try lenders again but today our breakfast was not happening. Angry
