The food is sensational and the Sandwiches have so much flavor. Also potato salad was delicious . This is my second time dining here and both experiences were great. The service is great, they are very friendly, and the ambiance is nostalgic. It reminds me when me when I was very young when I would visit my grandmother house. She had the same tables & chairs. read more

Everything about this deli is wonderful. The people, the food, the view.....wow! I highly recommend their potato salad.

Today they catered a funeral / celebration of life at our church and the food and service was impeccable. Everything from the salad to the desert was awesome. Taylor and Austin. read more

Community favorite and also one of mine! Beautiful atmosphere, delicious food thats always fresh, and quick service!

I found this place via a local who swears by it. My recommendation, go early if you want lunch, the place gets VERY busy. The sandwich I had was very tasty, as was the side of macaroni salad. All the staff was super friendly! read more

This place is the actual Bee's Knees!! Not only is it a gem for San Andreas, but of the whole County!! Super fresh and delicious Sandwiches and Salads!! They have some really adventurous and clever daily specials that always hit the spot. The service is friendly and great. The ambiance is so nice with an outside grassy/garden type layout under shade trees. 100% recommend!! read more

Just as yummy and cute as Pickle Porch. I love that these little gems exist. Yummy sandwiches sides and baked goods. Cute decor. Lovely service. Reminds me of some place in the south. Keep up the good work read more

Great food, wonderful grounds, ambiance & service! Our family had a wake reception here on a Saturday. They are usually closed on weekends, but opened for our Family & friends I would definitely recommend this business.. read more

Never did I imagine this place while driving down highway 49. We drove past it once only to wonder what all the cars were parked on the side of the road for. You walk up to a tiny house to order then the backyard opens up into a cool and relaxing oasis. To top it all off, the sandwiches and salads are top notch. I can't wait to come back again. read more

Was in the area, stopped in for lunch, had the daily special, the cowboy tip sandwich, and it was absolutely perfect. Great service, great atmosphere, and we'll definitely be back. read more

Love this place! Great little find in the area and not too far from home. Staff is friendly the ambiance is special in the outdoor area feels like a picnic in the park. And the ice tea is homemade read more

Great food and wonderful ambience. Their potato salad is good and I have not ever had a bad sandwich here.

Amazing salad. I had the cranberry walnut with vinaigrette dressing. It was delicious and a very large portion. We sat outside at tables on the lawn and talked for hours. No pressure to leave. Very nice. I'll definitely go back when in the area. read more

I love this place! Their sandwiches are the best!! And they have a nice garden area to eat in and enjoy the sunshine and your lunch!

what a fantastic little lunch stop! Wonderful flavor combinations. Wish theif hours of business were longer. I have passed through many times all excited about being able to get a healthy sandwich and find I have missed the hours of service. But I try to stop here every chance I get. They are clean, friendly and fast. I so love sitting on the little covered porch for lunch! read more

Food and service are excellent. The food is a very healthy fare and is an absolute pleasure to eat here.

Everything about this place is just awesome. Owners, employees, food, ambiance. If you want to make your day better, get lunch here. Or if you're planning an event (work party, baby shower, etc.) they have an adorable outside venue area that is available to rent. I have attended a wedding vow renewal here that was perfect at this location. read more

If you are hungry and just happen to pass through Highway 49 in the California Gold Country, then I highly suggest checking out the "Pickle Patch Deli" in San Andreas. This small town doesn't have a whole lot of unique eateries to choose from and many of the larger towns (Angels Camp, Jackson, Valley Springs, etc.) can be a bit of a drive for some. But I have to say, this place definitely exceeded my expectations in all ways possible. One great plus is that "Pickle Patch Deli" has everything going for it; they were voted the Best of Calaveras by the readers of the Calaveras Enterprise every year from 2008 through 2014! Not to mention, they've also been voted best caterer, best lunch, best deli, best BLT sandwich, and even best vegetarian! Additionally, their menu offers a unique and eclectic variety of salads, soups, desserts, and breakfast items. With all of these options, I just had to check this place out for myself. I came here on a weekday afternoon around 1:30pm in early-May; just as the afternoon rush had died down. However, I was able to notice a sizable amount of patrons still enjoying their lunch while soaking up the sun on a perfect 75° afternoon. Fortunately, it wasn't too busy while I was able to glance at the menu and walk right up the counter. As I narrowed down my choices, I finally decided on trying their "Ma Rita's Beef" sandwich (for $8.50). This sandwich consists of their very own seasoned barrel cooked tri-tip served on a soft roll complete with mayo, tomatoes, red onions and lettuce. I was also given a variety of sides and what looked most appetizing was their pesto macaroni salad. Since I was in no hurry, I ordered in "for here". I grabbed a seat at the extensive and beautiful back patio area and within minutes my sandwich (with side salad) was brought out to me. The entire presentation of the sandwich looked wonderful; bright red heirloom tomatoes with collared green lettuce and a dazzling amount of tri-tip to balance the sandwich. After the first bite, I was pleasantly surprised just how fresh everything tasted. Even the bread was soft and made very well. And finally, the pesto salad was creamy while the taste wasn't overbearingly tart with the basil. Overall, "Pickle Patch Deli" is truly a little hidden gem in Calaveras County. And the place can be a hit or miss especially when many drivers go faster than the posted speed limit. Keep in mind though that they do have very limited hours of operation (open Monday - Friday from 9am until 2:30pm). Reason being is because this place also caters AND does events and even weddings primarily on the weekends. But if you happen to be in this neck of the woods and want a farm-to-fork meal at a very reasonable price, please give "Pickle Patch Deli" a try! read more

My wife and I stopped here for lunch during our drive through town. I ordered a pesto BLT sandwich and she had a BLT salad. It seems like their menu is pretty heavily focused on BLTs, but that's not a bad thing. We sat in the lovely garden on a beautiful spring day, and we thoroughly enjoyed our meal. This place totally exceeded our expectations, and if we passed through San Andreas on our way home, we would have eaten here again. read more

The new owner does not seem to have changed a thing as far as I could tell. Same good food and nice outdoor seating, good salads, especially the beets and a truly AWESOME slice of carrot cake for $5. What's not to like? read more

Never disappointed here. Got the BLT sandwich with avocado and was delish. Thanks for working during these tough times of Covid-19 read more

Seriously. THE BEST! and every single time. Can't thank you enough for providing a great place to eat to our community. And the Pickle Porch is just as amazing. read more

I realize there are limited choices in this area. I know I am from out of town. It was weird. Tried to open the front door. It was locked. Heard people In the back. "The door gets stuck". Tried again. Did not open. The attitude from whom I believe was the dishwasher was that I was an idiot. He finally came to front and unlocked the door with quite an attitude. Proceeded to eye-ball me like I was wrong. Weird. Almost left. Sandwich was basic and not on sourdough roll but ok. read more

This is a great place to stop for lunch when you're driving through the area. The food came out fast and they had a great selection of sandwiches, drinks and desserts. The staff was incredibly friendly and thoughtful. My favorite part was the massive outdoor seating area. I got a pesto BLT and a lemon bar and I would recommend both! read more

This place totally rocks! I read the reviews and decided to try it. My husband and I ordered the smoked turkey sandwich to share it was delicious! Smoked turkey, smoked Gouda, crispy bacon, tomato and some kind of weird lettuce...it was incredible. The potato salad side was also yummy. It tasted like it had sour cream in it, with red potatoes, celery, pickles---and no onions (that made me happy). I will definitely go back. Loved sitting in their lovely garden. pet friendly. read more

I ordered a blt and they gave me a fat salad on bread. There's 3 little pieces of bacon on this whole sandwich and it was not cheap. read more

Great Food, Slow but good. Price is a little high, however quality is consistent. Rare In San Andreas

Absolutely the best place to stop for a great sandwich and more!!!! Looks small, you have no idea how beautiful the outdoor seating is!!!! Not sure why the photos of my review and the original review diapered.... Yelp just asked me to fix the review... The food was awesome and so was the service!!!! Absolutely recommend!!! B read more

Been coming here for years and it never disappoints. There's no other lunch spots in our county that even compare in my opinion. As busy as they always are it's still speedy service, beautiful atmosphere, and the food is outstanding no matter what you order. Thank you for all you do for our community pickle crew! read more

Ambiance is 10+ stars here. Restaurant is a converted farmhouse, and the patio area is shady, cool, and breezy even in the hottest weather. A great place to sit and chat with friends. The food is good for the area, and I loved the Peter Piper Pickle sandwich, but I typically find it bland overall. Decent, just needs more flavoring. We try to visit every time we are in the area to see family because my husband is a big fan. read more

Love this place, it is worth the drive for me. Always enjoy the atmosphere and the food.. staff are very nice and efficient.. A must go to

Food is okay, but way over priced, rude staff and if you want no onions on your sandwich they charge you an additional fifty cents. Which makes me believe the sandwiches are premade. Expect a 30-45 minute wait to get your food. Ironically there's a sign at the counter that reads "this isn't burger king so you can't have it your way" I thought it was a joke but it's true. I was disappointed to say the least. I also found out it's under new ownership so that might be why it went down hill. Under the old ownership they still weren't overly friendly but food was better and wait time was better as well. read more

The BEST sandwiches and the potato salad was delicious! I definitely recommend this place if you get a chance to try it!

We were in town visiting my grandparents and came to eat here because my grandparents love it so much. I was very disappointed in the lack of regard for safety. No masks anywhere. Not the person taking the order, kitchen staff or servers. Had i gone in to order we wouldn't have eaten here. I noticed this when we used the restroom. VERY CONCERNING. I understand there "aren't that many cases" in this area but there is still a statewide mandate to wear masks. The least you could do for your patrons is show them you respect them by wearing the proper safety precautions...makes me wonder if hand washing is a normal activity here. The food was ok...not worth the price tag in my opinion. The outdoor seating and event area was really cute. I wanted to love it, however I am now scheduling an appointment to make sure we weren't served anything other than sandwiches read more

I give this place 2 stars because I feel that the restaurant is very gimicky and relies heavily on atmosphere. That being said the atmosphere of the restaurant is swarming with wasps. The customer service is very in your face, rude, and snappy. As they will instantly make it apparent that you are not wanted. You are another thorn in there side, and they would much rather you be bothered by someone else. Which I get, but they should support the customer to really want to spend an arm and a leg for those mediocre sandwiches. Which brings me to the sandwiches. They are uncreative, small, and furthermore everything in it seems store bought or pre-processed. The turkey I had both times I've gone was very chewy and I recall both times peeling some pile of chewed mush that could not be broken down any further. The bread looks store bought, and I recognize quite a few sysco items in there as well. I am to believe that the side dishes, which you only get a scoop of, are the only things "homemade" here. Not even the pickle in the pickle patch resembles a home made pickle. I mean that is a HUGE missed opportunity of a selling point. Both times I've walked in the kitchen was an absolute mess with both the floor mat and sink looking like a Jackson Pollock painting in which he experimented with wasps and lettuce to create his ensemble. I would say the absolute most frustrating thing is when I ask for a cup of ice it is met with a stare down and a thud as the (thankfully) plastic cup was slammed on the table. The workers here are more aggressive than the jail just down the street from it and I can tell you first hand so was the food. The only reason I give this a star is because my mom loves there garden. So if the owners are reading this just know that you should throw all your bells and whistles into that garden because as far as I can see it that's the real selling point. read more

I love this place; so it is with sadness that going forward I will have to avoid this restaurant. At least until this pandemic is a thing of the past. The reason: none of the food servers, cashiers, and kitchen staff wear masks or hesitate to come close to their customers. So many businesses in the area take precautions to insure not only their customer's safety as well as their own. Not so at ThePickle Patch; how sad. read more

The best part of Yelp is finding places like Pickle Patch Deli. Thousands of people drive right by this gem in San Andreas without ever noticing the restored farmhouse and massive back patio perfect for a wonderful lunch. They are located on the entrance to San Andreas coming from Stockton or Jackson along Highway 49. Keep an eye out for it as it jumps out like a Calaveras Frog. The menu is primarily deli sandwiches and specials. Everything on the menu looks scratch made with a wonderful assortment of options and sides. I tried the Smokin' Turkey with smoked turkey, gouda, and bacon on their homemade bread. This was a giant and delicious sandwich, especially paired with their killer pesto macaroni salad. You will not leave hungry. Even the iced tea was great. The restaurant is very cute with a small interior dining area built into the old rooms and a massive back patio. The covered patio is the real star with a beautiful garden and plenty of shaded seating. Service is quick and friendly with counter ordering making group ordering easy. I will try and come back here often before it shows up on Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives and becomes too crowded. It is tough to love with limited weekday hours only, but if you can fit it into your busy schedule, you will be thoroughly impressed. read more
