I went Picklemans Gourmet Café today, July 26, 2026, and the employees there are amazing in the food is amazing. They do offer plant based or vegan options. I had gotten a vegetarian pizza with cauliflower crust 100% recommendation and my fiancé also got a pepperoni pizza with a pizza with a Italian beef sandwich which was and looks totally amazing. 100% do you recommend Picklemans Gourmet cafe and will be back. Thank you for accommodating and the one amazing thing that I did ask before I ordered it if they offered plant bases or vegetarian options and I got a very nice young lady that was making the food and that area in the order area and she knew what I was talking about and did not laugh at me or anything for asking a question. I do recommend Pickleman's to anyone who has to order healthy foods accommodating for plant base options. Thank you for everything you do for us Customers we appreciate you do and keep doing what you are doing and Your employees are amazing!!! during our read more

Pickleman's Gourmet Cafe - this is the vegan or vegetarian pizza with cauliflower crust it is amazing. - Pizza Near Me - Lawrence, Kansas

Went really late with my friends and the staff were so chill and nice. Great way to round out a night out.

Everyone that worked there was nice, good music, clean. Bad part was the food. Dining in but it came in cheap plastic containers. Hot food in plastic containers, plastic spoons. Not cool read more

Genuinely made me like tomatoes for the first time. It was so good it made me want to cry. The people working were also very nice

The food here is always good, it pricey for the offerings. I enjoy the crunch on the bread and I LOVE their garlic cheese bread. Haven't had their pizza, but the sandwiches have all been tasty and well proportioned cheese to meat ratio. Chips are bagged and optional, and the optional pickles are really good too. Solid lunch choice or if you're looking for a good sandwich stop. Service is usually pretty quick, especially if you can order ahead by phone or through the app. Tables or booths are the typical eat in choices. App will offer rewards points towards future purchases too. read more

I came here with my two sons (9 and 3). We loved the food but even more than that, we loved the team! The manager took time to make us feel so welcome and answer my curious kids questions. My 9 year old wanted to walk down the block to the bookstore and the manager actually offered to walk him down there himself so my 3 year old could finish his lunch. I was so touched by this kindness! I hope they open a store in Manhattan, KS!!!! The food was excellent, the cookies were some of the best I've had. Can't recommend this place enough! read more

Friendly staff and good sandwiches. Would recommend getting double meat as a single serving wasn't enough. The toppings were a little light so I would ask for extra toppings as well. Overall good place to grab a quick bite to eat read more

I love coming to Pickleman's! They are very attentive to detail and the quality is great for whole 7 minutes it's takes to assemble an amazing salad with fresh ingredients, same with the sandwiches. The soups taste like their are freshly prepared but of course it's not. They're only open til midnight now because of COVID, but always a better alternative than McDonald's or any other drive through! They offer delivery and pick up as well. Thanks to the great crew that was in tonight and for making sure everything we wanted was made right. Great service!!! read more

Pickleman's is one of my favorite places. Their sandwiches are delicious, and my fav is the Italian club and the turkey and bacon sub. Their chips are so good too! And pickles. The staff is always so friendly! read more

Easily the smallest sandwiches I've ever seen in my life. Tasty for sure, but I just cannot take them seriously as they are comically small. Customer service there isn't the best either read more

We rolled into town way late Friday night and it was great that you were open past midnight. Turkey sandwich was awesome. Can't wait to try the pizza on our next visit. ------ Guess this is all of Lawrence, but during the COVID, they are online order only. No walk in and ordering. Still good, just good to know. read more

Stopped in for lunch. Parking isn't fabulous on Mass Street, but doable. Ordered a sandwich. Learned afterwards you can customize with condiments, but that wasn't super clear when I ordered. Restaurant was clean. A bit smoky from the sandwich grill. Staff was friendly. Bathroom code is on your receipt. read more

Nice place from a quick lunch. Tried the chipotle chicken sub on a toaster white roll and found it to be a satisfying sandwich. The broccoli soup was good but a little too watery. Overall a clean place and friendly staff. Eat-in or take-out. Right on the main drag in downtown Lawrence with plenty of shops to visit if you ( like me) needs to walk off the carbs. read more

Very tasty fresh salads ready quickly. Friendly staff. We will go back and try the sandwiches next time.

My food was great I really enjoyed the food, I came out to Lawrence to visit my Friend who goes to KU. and when we went to picklemans the service was god awful, i mean i have never expirienced someone be so mean to me while i requested toppings on my sandwich. I asked for bell pepper on my sandwich, which is totally fine and the man sighed and kinda rolled his eyes, i was confused but then was like "oh and can i please have some onions?" and he looks up and goes "can you tell me the F**cking toppings before i make your sandwich". I was in shock and my friend who goes there regularly wanted to grab him from behind the counter but i said we'll let it go. went there twice and experienced horrible attitudes both times.No one should be treated that way especially when that is your JOB! im from California and I was expecting nicer people out here but I was very surprised at mutliple locations and restaurants read more

Excellent Hodge Podge sandwich is delicious and filling with all sorts of meats and lettuce tomatoes and Mayo! I got Deep River chips with rosemary and olive oil "Because We Give a Chip!" Great helpful staff and servers, too! read more

Quality food and quick delivery! for the last two years we lived outside of the delivery zone I'm so happy to be back! read more

Picklemans was awesome as usual! and super delicious. I love the freshness of their food and their staff is always nice and helpful.

After a long day on the road we stopped in Lawrence. Asked the Front Desk if there was some place they would recommend that delivered. They recommended Pickleman's. We ordered a pizza and it was fantastic. Super thin crust, great sauce, and fantastic delivery time. Hands down the best pizza we have had in a long time. Highly recommend. read more

They are always quick and remember everything that we order. The pizza and Italian beef are our favorites

Absolutely the freshest salad I have ever eaten! We are from Oklahoma and found out that they have one in Norman too! Delicious and friendly! Must eat! read more

What was suppose to be a quick bite to eat turned into a great find in Lawrence. This is not your average sub shop. The subs are truly amazing --- and the selection is vast. TIP: Even if the line is a bit long, the staff moves quick. read more

I order from here quite often and get the same thing the Asiago chicken pizza but in place of the Asiago add ranch. The manager told me he was unable to do it because it wasn't an option on his screen. I informed him that I get it all the time. He then stated that because he has never done it before he will not do it for me. I said I would pay extra for it but he would still not do it. He then offered chipotle ranch because it was an option on his screen. I asked if he could mark chipotle ranch and swap it out for regular. He then told me no again. It makes absolutely no since! How hard Is it to ask the person standing a foot away from you to add regular ranch!! He told me do due to inventory purposes even tho I offered to pay for it! Dude is an asshole and his job must be the only place he has control over anything in his life. read more

Greatest of All! Give Pickleman's a try! Their tomato soup and grilled cheese with garlic spread is the jam! Enjoy! People are so friendly too! read more

I can't believe it took me so long to try Pickleman's! Great food and great service. Chicken salad sandwich is a personal favorite here.

The service is always timely when I go in, and the food is exceptional! I really enjoy the pizza they have. Customer service is great!

Came here for the first time and it's nothing special. For what you pay and what you get I think I would rather go to Subway. My sandwich wasn't bad, on the contrary it was decent. The service was really good but the place wasn't clean. Their selection of chips are lack-luster. My boyfriend got these Honcho Nacho Cheese chips; the bag stated Gluten Free, GMO free.. should've included "Taste Free". read more

Ordered delivery last night, got the order LITERALLY 11 minutes after I got a confirmation email. Service and food was great as always!!!

I placed an order at Pickleman's for a work meeting yesterday and they did not disappoint. We chose Pickelman's because they offer a wide range of meat, vegetarian, gluten free choices. We ordered 2 turkey sandwiches, 2 Asiago salads, 2 turkey bacon clubs, and a lentil chili soup. I specifically asked that it be delivered at 12:45 and they showed up right on time. Everyone said their food was great. The person who ordered the chili said it was amazing and full of flavor! There was not one complaint about the food. On a separate note, the prices were decent, about $7-$9 per person. However, the delivery charge was incredibly high. They charged an $8 delivery charge and to me that seems unreasonable. If Postmates were in Lawrence, it probably would have been cheaper or the same price. We still left a 20% tip for the driver. Overall, food is good quality and fresh! Just maybe think twice if you want to order delivery! read more

Horrible experience! Ordered for delivery. Told 45 minute delivery time. Called after not receiving for an hour and a half. Was told I was not a priority, in person customers take priority. Didn't know when or if they could fill my $55 order. Unbelievable! read more

Says they are open until 3 am online but are closed before 12 am. If they only accept online orders passed 12 am then they should say that online. So so weird of them. Don't go here. They are so weird. read more

Unfortunately, the quality of the food is not what it used to be. I had a sandwich there yesterday on very dry bread and very little filling. And the pick two is deceiving. They actually charge you full price so a half a sandwich and a half salad yesterday was $13. I won't be going back anytime soon. read more

Brandon - who was visiting from the Columbia MO location was phenomenal. Customer service was top notch, he went above and beyond to ensure that we had a good experience even amongst the busy late night crowd. Brandon is awesome! read more

Honestly, for a sub shop, I was really impressed with the sub. The bread was really good and the combo of flavors in the Chipotle Chicken sub was solid. Great place for a quick bite! read more

Wonderful place absolutely good food and having visited many places I will say I have never had such a good kosher pickle, the food was great! Loved it read more

Messed up my order and I think the entire staff was high when I picked it up. But usually great food!

Always great service. Friendly crew. Fast delivery time. Delicious food. I love the asiago chicken pizza!

Sandwiches are just okay. Typical toasted sub chain restaurant. The pizza was absolutely terrible. Basically tastes like a $3 frozen pizza for $10. read more

Pickleman's Gourmet Cafe - A $10 pizza. A frozen pizza would have been better - Pizza Near Me - Lawrence, Kansas

Wow, might have been one of the worst delivery experiences I have had in my life. Waited two hours for food and never even got it, offered 50% off and said it is in the kitchen and should be done soon. Call them again and they said it would be another hour. I hope Picklemans as an organization burns. Horrible expereicne, would rather eat napkins then deal with a picklemans employer. read more

I'd been avoiding Pickleman's because I understood it to be a chain. Being someone that typically avoids chain restaurants I didn't have high expectations. They didn't let me down. It a nutshell, it's a slightly nicer version of Subway with a hipper interior design. But the food... this isn't what I'm looking for in a sandwich, and it sure as hell isn't gourmet. Dispense with the title. I don't need gourmet in a sandwich--how about just quality fresh ingredients and bread that's acceptable? Got the Meatball with Marinara and the Asiago Chicken Club and added an Italian Chopped Salad. If you're billed as a gourmet sandwich chain I'd think you'd pay attention to your bread. This is tasteless, mealy dough that has not a lot of taste and soaked up ingredients too much so that in the end it became a goo ball. We didn't finish them. The salad was the whitest of iceberg lettuce with a few cheap cuts of meat arranged in a pattern on top. Salami & capicola? Hell, that's the same grade stuff you can get at Dillon's (Kroger brand) hanging by the hook sealed in hard plastic. Ever hear of a pinch of salt and pepper on lettuce to give it a little more taste? Not here. That's what I get for picking up a sandwich mid-evening on the run with impossibly too much going on in preparation for the holidays. I suspect the crowd that frequents these places, it's just good enough, and it'll stay that way. Like I've said before, people that frequent Yelp won't be busting down the doors to eat at a Pickleman's, Subway or other similar joints. Jimmy John's down the street does a much better job for a chain. I can return there but can't say the same for PGC. P.S. it's in Kansas City but if you want to see and taste what a meatball sub should taste like, hit Pandolfi's east of the River Market. Now *there's* how to build and serve a killer sandwich. read more
