Reviews Jacob's Pickles

I've had the pleasure of visiting this place many times, making it a point to never leave NYC without eating there at least once. The fried pickles are some of the best I've ever had - they have somehow managed to keep the pickles juicy and flavorful, while making the batter perfectly crispy and not soggy at all. The sauce that comes with it tops it all off! I'm also a fan of the street corn with the spicy aioli, which I get every single time. My sister got the chicken and pancakes, so I was able to try that as well. The pancakes aren't anything special, but the chicken is the crispiest I've ever had, without all of the grease! The combo of it all together is pretty tasty! Lastly, I tried their jam jar, which ingredient-wise is just gin and lemonade, but it is truly an amazing combination and the most refreshing lemonade I've ever tried. It wasn't too sweet and definitely hit the spot, tying everything together. The atmosphere is very cozy, especially for dinner, but they also have an amazing selection of up-beat music playing constantly. Service has always been amazing and I've never really had any wait times. No complaints so far, so highly recommend to anyone visiting the area!

Jacob's Pickles has the best fried chicken and pickles in all of NYC. We went for brunch this past Sunday and the place was packed. We started with the Jam Jar and Spicy Brine Margarita cocktails and both were delicious, especially the margarita. It was perfectly spicy with just the right amount of pickle flavor without it being overwhelming. For an appetizer, we did the Fried Pickles served with spicy mayo. These pickles are the absolute BEST I've ever tried--the batter is amazing and it actually adheres to the pickles without sloughing off. The pickle within was delightful and fresh. For our main course, we had the Hot Chicken Biscuit and the Chicken & Pancakes. Both blew us out of the water. The fried chicken is just incredible, so tasty and battered perfectly. Again, I'm not sure how they do it, but NONE of the batter detaches from the chicken and remains perfectly intact throughout. Not to mention, the portions are VERY generous and the side of grits that came with the sandwich were delicious. There was plenty of leftovers for dinner later on. Our server, Cam, was good but very busy with the brunch rush. I HIGHLY recommend Jacob's Pickles for brunch, lunch, dinner, and the best pickles and chicken in all of NYC!

I was incredibly happy that I visited Jacob’s Pickle. Upon walking in I was greeted by a friendly host and immediately was impressed with the vibe of the restaurant. Our waiter Sullivan was fantastic and gave us good tips and was super friendly. We ate the pickle sampler as well as the matzo ball soup for our apps. The soup was massive and could be shared but was very tasty. We had the braised rib and chicken & pancakes for our mains and both were delicious. They have a large beer list as well with many great options. I had a great experience and next time I am back in New York I will definitely be back.

Busy place, but it's obvious why. The food was amazing. The service was prompt and attentive. The atmosphere was amazing. Loud, but energetic. I'd definitely recommend and go back if I'm in the city again. I definitely suggest getting a pickle sampler if you love pickles. All of them were delicious.

Jacob’s Pickles was awesome! I was a difficult customer “not purposely” and the staff was excellent and executed the definition of service. Checking out of my hotel was a nightmare and made me late for my reservation and when I called to say I’d be late, they were kind and accommodating. Once we arrived we were promptly seated and greeted by Alverde who was knowledgeable, friendly, attentive, and kind. He recommended food to us and was patient. My girlfriend ordered something that was a little too spicy for her (it was still good, she just can’t handle spice) and Alverde handled the situation so well and didn’t make us feel like a burden, he took it away and got her a new meal very quickly which was delicious. The food was AMAZING. The chicken and biscuits were so good and I had to get biscuits to go home. We will definitely be return customers and be telling our friends to check it out. It’s a busy/hopping place but they haven’t sacrificed service as a result. 10/10 in my book.
