    Chips
    Gerry T.

    It's an extensive menu and they offer catering too. We came here to specifically try their hot pastrami and corned beef sandwich. It's called the Chicago Pickle sandwich. I got the whole one, not half, and it was magnificent. The meats, Swiss cheese, coleslaw with thousand island dressing, on rye - was so filling, I saved half for later. We also tried the garlic aioli burger and it could have been more rare but what can you do with thinner patties. It was still very good though and it was topped with mushrooms. Looking back, my only tip is to not wrap the sandwich if you're dining in at the restaurant, this will keep everything crisper, it'll remain crunchy and easier to eat as opposed to having a soggy bun and bread. I'd like to come back for the Reuben sandwich and the steak and cheese sub. There's only street parking. I'd also like to try their Uptown location as it's equidistant from my home. By the way, this location was very clean and the service was friendly and overly kind.

    Onion Rings

    I was really craving a chopped cheese for some reason and had seen some influencers hyping this place up so we decided to go check it out. You can tell they were going for the bodega/corner store vibe and it was for the most part they were spot on. They were just missing the random cat (might be a NY thing), everything was well organized and the place was really clean. They had plenty of drink options, chips, and other accoutrements that your local corner store may provide. We ended up ordering an Italian sub, a cheesesteak and a chopped cheese. We also ordered wings and onion rings. Nothing really stood out about the food. We couldn't really taste the difference between the cheesesteak and the chopped cheese. The onion rings were good. The wings were a miss. Overall the service was great and honestly that saved their rating. Everyone there was super friendly and accommodating.

    The good is the price point & the portions. The bad is this isn't the best rendition of said dishes but they'll more than suffice. Delivery to my office was $7 & I had no idea of the portion size so we ordered extra. My coworker ordered a breakfast sandwich & steak fries which was overkill. I ended up with a cordon bleu & chopped cheese but I endedup giving the 2nd sandwich away. The sandwich was merely ok but what elevated it was the accompanying sauce which I assume was the sassy sauce.

    As a family of sandwich lovers, this eatery checks all the boxes!! The service was amazing. We were greeted with smiles and very helpful and patient workers as we discussed the menu. For a family of 5, we got the full spicy Italian, half pastrami, half hummus and veggie, half ruben and a small French fry. The full is huge (we have leftovers to eat later today!). Our favorites were the toasted ruben and pastrami. Each sandwich was served with 2 crispy pickle spears. For everything we ordered, it came out to $50. The space is very clean and has plenty of seating. There is a large chip and drink selection, and of course pickle back brine! They also have a deli to order sliced boars head and cheese. Can't say anything better than to recommend this place! We surely will be back!

    My family and I love the assortment of sandwiches from Chicago Pickle. Our favs are the veggie and turkey club. Thank you for the outstanding service from Clemente and crew! They're very kind and attentive with our order every time.

    Classic burger, whole pastrami sandwich, and half Chicago Pickle sandwich, plus fried pickle spears!!

The meat could use a little marinade situation to bring more flavor inside, but that crispy coating holds up to the sauce like a champ. I like it, I like it, I like it. Extra points for a buffalo sauce that actually has some thickness to it and isn't just "here's some hot sauce, on a wing being called buffalo sauce. Now, I am going to need to try some of the other wing sauces, but if they hold up too. I would rather come here than go to some other well known wing spots. Honestly, I can see myself rolling through just for wings, rings, and vibes. And that Golden Monkey beer? Yeah, go ahead and keep that on tap forever. Please and thank you. haha

The bathrooms are horrendous just as bad as the ones on Belmont you used to be. I don't know why it's so hard for people to use the restroom without leaving an extreme mess. So I would say the biggest downfall is how disgusting the bathrooms are. The place is older so it isn't the cleanest looking of places, but unlike the one on Belmont, I left and didn't get food poisoning.

My friend who grew up here had the protip of getting a cup of cheese for the fries, why not? I just ate so many veggies! We also got an Italian beef with sweet peppers to split. I have had Italian beef before, so this wasn't a new flavor, but it's been awhile, and when I tell you I didn't remember the beef being so flavorful. I think next time I would get it with hot peppers, but the sweets weren't bad.
