    Walking on the west side of the park in the way to see the Jackie O reservoir, Yelpers led the way to Jacob's Pickles. What a great spot with outdoor seating and a varied menu to suit all preferences. It's clearly a place for locals to hangout for an adult beverage and or meal. Our waiter warned us that the portions are generous and it was no lie! When I sat down, I eyed the wedge salad at the next table and decided that was for me. Now, what I didn't know was that it came with two large pieces of fried chicken that were moist and tender. Marinating in buttermilk will do that so I appreciate that extra touch. Half of the order came back with me for dinner the next day. Hubby got the big bowl of mussels and fries and enjoyed the order. He commented that they kitchen took the time to clean the mussels which speaks to attention to detail. He also commented on how big and tender they were. Our friends enjoyed their meals too. I highly recommend Jacob's and look forward to coming back. It's locals which is refreshing.

    Was staying in the neighborhood. Great for brunch! Service was excellent, food great, portions HUGE. Bloody Mary was fantastic.

    Shrimp & Endive Salad

    This southern eatery in the Upper West Side of Manhattan in NYC offers fried chicken and biscuits, waffles, house made pickles and salads. We ordered for pickup to have a picnic in Central Park. I had the Shrimp and Endive Salad $28 with goat cheese, candied pecans, blackberries, pickled pepper and a honey chili drizzle. I also had one Buttermilk Biscuit $5. The salad was very unique. Everything was delicious.

    Birthday treat- biscuit with ice cream

    My family and I came here for lunch on a Sunday afternoon. We made reservations about one week in advance, and while there were tables available, we had limited times to pick from. We shared a platter of pickles. I had the veggie cheese omelette, which contained mushrooms, spinach, tomatoes, and cheddar. It's usually served with home fries, but I swapped them for fresh fruit. The food was delicious and the portions were generous. It was someone's birthday in our party, and at the end of the meal, they brought out a biscuit with ice cream for the table. Great service!

    Blueberry and lemon Pancakes
    Julia A.

    While I've heard so many positive reviews about Jacob's Pickles, I was left a little disappointed. I ordered off their seasonal menu and got the blueberry and lemon pancakes. We all agreed that K "won" since everyone else's meal was subpar. The biscuits and gravy were soggy and cold. The other meal had tough chicken and undercooked potatoes. Our server was so sweet but didn't check on us often despite the restaraunt being fairly empty. I did hear they recently relocated- and this new location is much more spacious compared to the last!

    There comes a time in one's life when you violently crave pickles. So what do you do? You bring your ass here and eat a delightful amount of damn good pickles. Be warned entrees are large and addicting. Fried chicken was bomb and reminded me briefly of fried chicken from the south. Interior was pretty. Service was phenomenal. Drinks hit. What more could a girl ask for?

    So I made a return to the newest location and found my experience to be ok, compared to my last. I just don't know about this one. It was some hits and misses with the food. The service could have been better and our table placement also should have been better, being that we did make reservations. The options on the menu, weren't that interesting to me, it took me quite a bit of time to order. Anyway something about this visit just was off and I didn't leave fulfilled, like my last visit. Maybe because the food I had just didn't blow me away like the last visit. The best thing we had were the ribs and the pickles. The chicken and biscuits, my guests and I were not crazy about and the devil eggs were bland. I don't know if I would return. So I would still do a thumb up, and a Happy Yelping too!

    I come back to Jacob's Pickles again an again and there are many reasons why. The first: the staff has been incredible every time: so kind, attentive, and welcoming, despite the fact that it's a pretty big restaurant and has been decently busy every time I'm there. Secondly, it's beautiful. I love the classy, modern, warm aesthetic of both the inside and outside dining spaces. Third, the FOOD (duh). The portions here are huge so you're almost always getting two meals in one. This time, we ordered some fried pickles (a classic-$15) with some sriracha mayo (yumm). It's the perfect crunchy, salty bite. Then, I got the original chicken sandwich ($22) which just falls apart in the best way. The chicken was juicy and tender and I left in a food coma.

    Took my mother here sometime last month as a Mother's Day celebration. Really enjoyed ourselves. The mushroom gravy, chicken and biscuits dish I had was phenomenal. My mother really enjoyed her spicy salmon, rice and vegetables dish. The drinks and our server were exceptional. HOWEVER, I was accidentally charged for an item that we didn't receive. I made multiple attempts to get this resolved and to no success. Although I've been told it's been resolved. Considering the great time we had here, this really sucks to have to add in this review. Really would love to give 5 starts otherwise.

    Deviled Eggs
    JL H.

    You don't have to love pickles or pickling but you should! Their Pickled Sampler which includes: 3-4 different types of pickles, String Beans, Carrots, Beets and Jalapeños is exquisite! It's a lot, very shareable! Shared with table of six (6) & STILL had to take home leftovers. Deviled Eggs are pillowy clouds of savoriness. Smoked Okra and Chiles are a must! With slivers of smoked Garlic to accompany and enhance. The Maple Chicken (Tenders) and French Challah Bread were humongous and enough to feed an army! The Grits and Collards need help, hence the 4 versus 5 stars. Grits need to be a more coarse stoneground versus the Cream of Wheat texture with more salt to give flavor! The Collards that are combined with the Black Eyed Peas need the Smokiness that was in the Peas, along with a finer cut, a tad more salt and more stewing for that real Pot Licka'! If you're doing Southern, it must be all-the-way RIGHT! The Smothered Chicken and Homemade Biscuits and the Regular did need the sauces to take the flavor UP (from Barbecue to Buffalo.) The Elote (Grilled Corn) with Pickled Jalapeños was slammin'! The Homemade Biscuit Special was Blueberry Lemon, which was turned into a warm Bread Pudding, topped with Vanilla ice cream. The portion was enough to share with our Table of 6, with a bit leftover. Street parking only so Sundays are your friend. Service is exceptional, swift and personable. For large parties, you must check-in with at least 3. JP is a definite NY must!

    When I say I am a long time pickle lover and have grown up in the South to know good southern cooking. I want to Marry whoever Jacob is because this is my next brunch staple on New York. The pickles were delicious the biscuits in gravy is better than your grandma's. Don't get me started also on the root beer. My one complaint is that the root beer is $5 a glass but that's okay because it is worth it and I don't need to drink a gallon of root beer. Got in with barely any wait time on a Sunday no less. I would make a reservation next time I go because it was very packed. If you like good food or love pickles this is the place to go. Can't wait to go back

    mac n cheese
    Gabby A.

    Wish I could give 4.5 stars, but rounding down! Came here for a late dinner with a group and was seated immediately. Our server was so nice and helpful throughout the whole meal. I got the jam jar to drink, which was delicious and a great size for the price! I also got the classic mac n cheese. While good, it was a little bit too dense and rich for my personal taste. Would love to come back and try more of the menu!!

    Stella P.

    This was my first time at the new location which is definitely improved from the last one. My first time for dinner services I was not impressed with brunch last time. Went in the 4th of July and they seemed to have less staff which makes sense. Anyway we got Mac and cheese which was not worth it and then a cesear wrap but subbed salmon instead of chicken. They did not inform us that it would be an up charge for the substitution and it was disappointing when the check came it was a surprise. They should tell customers when something is in up charge and not just say yes we can do the change. They played the World Cup game and it was good energy for a holiday weekend dinner in the neighborhood so the ambiance was fine. I'd go back with friends to try more items that were better for sharing then for two people. Would be great if a manager could resolve the issue about the up charge.

    Ask the Community - Jacob's Pickles

    I love all of the food there. Exactly what kind of pickles are 'Special sours"? Can they be bought…

    I'm not sure what they are. They just might be sours. Their pickles are delicious but I don't think they can be bought on line. Why not check their website?

    Are the meatballs beef or are there other meats in them as well?

    Ah man I actually don't know. I would assume they are beef

    Do the biscuits contain lard?

    No, they don't.

    Are the banana pudding pancakes a permanent addition to the menu? Please say yes! 😂

    I think I wrote for the wrong pickle store. The one I was writing about is in Clinton,nj. Sorry

    What are the chances of scoring a table for 4 at noon on a friday?

    High - they are not too busy during the day

    Do they have a Happy Hour?

    Do you have bottomless mimosas?

    Hi Anna I'm pretty sure they do not offer that. It's by the drink

    Can my dog join us?

    Yes, they have covered, heated outdoor seating that's very nice and your dog is definitely welcome. I saw other dogs in there during my visit.

    Is the brunch menu only for weekends? Do you serve food in the morning on weekdays? Where's the non-dinner menu?

    I'm 99% sure it is everyday

    I have a picky child, is there a kids menu or will see have to be creative with the regular dinner menu?

    There is no kids menu. I recommend sharing an item from the menu as the portions are large enough to share.

    Do they have heaters for outdoor dining?

    Yes, they do!!! (:

    Is Jacobs pickles dog friendly?

    They have outdoor seating, that would be your best bet. Inside it is pretty cramped and not much room for pets.

    What time does brunch end?

    4 PM!

    What are the vegan options?

    Most of their pickles, a few of the starters like fried pickles, fried green tomatoes, okra & chiles, and a few of the sides like house fries, house salad, side of fruit.

    Is there even one single vegan option? EDIT: besides pickles

    All the sides are vegan except for the Collards & Black Eye Peas because that's cooked with pork shoulder; and the biscuits. I'm not sure what the Fried Pickles and the Fried Green Tomatoes are fried in though.

    Are the mashed potatoes gluten free?! (Or can be made GF without gravy?)

    Hi Ariel, thanks for reaching out! Our mashed potatoes can be made gluten free without the gravy. Hope you’ll be able to join us soon!

    Do they deliver?

    No!

    Is brunch still served on weekdays?

    Yes

    Can i make reservations for 2 people?

    Thanks for your interest in joining us! Although we do not accept reservations for parties less than 6, we do reserve the majority of our dining room for walk in guests. You will receive an estimated wait time when you place your name on the… Read more

    Are there any vegetarian options?

    Yes. Although it's overall meat heavy menu, for brunch there is plenty of veggie omelettes, pancakes, breakfast sandwiches, all available. Dinner, however would be much more disappointing for a vegetarian as there are very few options.

It's an interesting spot, split seating into two locations but single kitchen. Both seating spots are pretty small/intimate, so expect to get to know your neighbors! We did the pre fixe, so started with the sweet potatoes and hush puppies. The honey butter that comes with the hush puppies was the highlight, so delish but rich. Next the pastas: star of the night! We got the Miso Carbonara Tagliatelle and the Lamb Ragu Orecchiette. Miso carbonara was rich and scrumptious, umami bomb. I'm normally a cream sauce girlie over red, but the lamb ragu stole the show. Super tender chunks of lamb and the pasta was perfectly al dente. Incredible pastas! The mains were okay, pork chop was a bit too salty and the fried catfish was really underwhelming. Service is good, very friendly and efficient. Decor inside is cute too. I think I misordered, if i came back would def stick to the pastas and maybe try the fried chicken. They apparently have a pasta happy hour with half-off pastas, would come back for that.

Our server (I think Brian?) was super attentive and charismatic, and walked us through the menu right away. The server had the whole floor and the place is VERY tiny, but I never felt like the service was fake. Wine and beer only (to alert my cocktail lovers), but luckily for us we were in the middle of dry January so although I very much appreciate a cocktail it wasn't too much of a problem. What really shines is the food - just WOW! We were a table of three so we each did the Three-Course meal and shared: Biscuits to start: AMAZING! First Course: Burrata, Pimento Cheese, and Collard Greens Second Course: Ravioli, Gnocchi, and Tagliatelle. Special shoutout to the Reuben-flavored ravioli and Chicken & Dumpling flavored Gnocchi Third Course: Nashville Fried Chicken, and Catfish Everything tasted so so so good and original - I've quite literally never had anything like any of the pastas we tried. The one tiny critique I have is that I don't think a slice of white bread under the fried chicken was necessary. I know it's tradition but I didn't need it with all of the other amazing amazing food we had. All of the desserts sounded absolutely amazing but unfortunately we were all so full and had a show to run to, but I will 100% be back hopefully multiple times and will know for the next time to save some room. Overall 10/10. Definitely recommend getting a reservation as the entire space is maybe 15 seats total!

The space and volume seemed to overwhelm the staff at times. Service was friendly and welcoming but also frazzled and disorganized. We never received our appetizer until we reminded them, and our drinks (sweet tea and lemonade) also had to be requested again after a very long wait. To their credit, they did pack up the crab cake appetizer to go and removed it from the bill, which we appreciated. The fried chicken, mac and cheese, and yams were all served on top of each other. If you dont like for your food to touch, this place will be a nightmare for you. I ordered fried catfish, collard greens and potato salad. The fried catfish was served swimming in collard green juice (there's a picture of it). It was also surprising that you only get one piece of catfish, which felt underwhelming for the price, especially since it was soggy. The potato salad was served in a small separate bowl, which is typical in many Southern restaurants for ALL side dishes. The mac and cheese had good flavor but the cheese wasn't fully melted. The yams were dry and not very sweet despite the menu description. The collard greens were on the sweeter side, which may work for some but wasn't my preference. The potato salad the only thing that was solid. Overall, it felt overpriced for the portion sizes and execution. The bartender seemed very skilled, and the drinks we saw being made looked great, though we didn't order any. After the long wait and missing appetizer, we skipped dessert and went elsewhere. The bathroom also needed attention and was not well maintained AT ALL! Ew The restaurant is very loud which didn't bother me at all but an FYI. It is also handicapped accessible and kid friendly. I really wanted to love the experience, but it fell below expectations in terms of service, cleanliness, and value. I might give them another try but no time soon.

This spot fills up quickly, and for good reason! We were greeted by a very friendly server and were given complimentary shots of soju. It was superb! We went ahead and ordered an assortment of items (they recommend two or three per person, which I think is perfect). The dishes range from $10 to $20 or so, and we ordered both desserts. A few pics attached to this review. A few notes: 1) get the deli bagel. Just do it. I promise, it's worth your time! 2) I highly recommend the potato nuggets, popcorn chicken, and hot pocket; 3) sweet tea is a win if you're a sweet tea person; 4) go to the bathroom at some point.

Prepare for a very comfy, somewhat loud, yet vibrant sitting area, and bring your sense of humor...this will make sense later :) From start to finish, C as in Charlie provided a really entertaining dining experience. I cannot recommend this place enough!
