    Moldy sandwich
    Lily B.

    I ordered take-out from "Pickles: A Deli" for a nice beach day. I was disgusted to find my sandwich had mold on parts of the bread. I'm sure the employees are doing the best they can, but this is a quality control issue. I had eaten more than half of my sandwich before realizing it was moldy...but despite this...the bread was not toasted and the sandwiches were soggy (15 minutes out of the restaurant). The pickles were good, and had a decent and strong flavor, but were comically large to the point where you're not sure if you should eat them in public. Consider cutting these into spears for easy eating. Maybe you should rename your establishment "Mold: A Deli" or "Abnormally Large Pickles: A Deli".

    Apple mum  sandwich. Terrific  turkey rice soup. Mac and cheese is to die for in the winter months .

    The best made sandwiches on AquidneckIsland! Believe me I ordered a Caesar shrimp wrap yesterday and it was so tasty and fresh! Not to much greens just enough. I've been going to Pickles for many years and now the location of our salon is next door! They make the best soups and always prepare a roast turkey for there famous thanksgiving turkey sandwich that will bring you back for another. Another favorite of mine is the Mac and Cheese. Although I can't do that often it's great to bring home and share. The staff at pickles is friendly and helpful. You can call it in or stop by. Easy parking . Great for a lunch crowd or for staff lunch in. I really can't say enough positive things about this lil deli. Try for yourself and you be the judge.

    My chowda cup and large pickle waiting for my sandwich :)

    Menu: GINORMOUS! Hot, cold, all the meats, no meats, you name it! It looked like three chalk boards full of food listed on it, I didn't even read it all. Environment: adorable little country style kitchen vibe. Lone customers sitting by the wall reading a newspaper or sipping on coffee. Small group laughing and trying eachothers food. Very much a peaceful family friendly vibe. I got the Reuben, it had a lot of meat but not much else. I tried others' foods and there's was very good! Sorry just don't remember their orders. Chowda: brothy and chunky just the way I like it!

    Heart Attack breakfast sandwich
    Becky H.

    Random mini road trip to Newport - got almost there but was starving and drove by Pickles. Ordered the Heart Attack breakfast sandwich and it was phenomenal. Literally 100 times better than DDs and chain breakfast sandwiches. Some reviews mention cash only but they took my debit card.

    Tryin then out!

    Fantastic cash only establishment - so many sandwich, wrap and salad combos you can always get just what you are in the mood for. Their food has that fresh home made taste and feel to it and will not disappoint for a stellar lunch. Thanks Pickles!

    At least three reviewers wrote that this is the best deli on Aquidneck Island ... well, all I can say after trying this place is that y'all need to cross the bridge and try a deli on the mainland. I agree more with the 2-star and 3-star reviews, than the 4-star and 5-star reviews. In my opinion, Pickles is solidly, respectably, decidedly ... average. I'm not in this area often, but had a job nearby on Thursday and used the Yelp app to find this place. Even with GPS, I almost drove past Pickles, which is buried in a strip plaza. The two rows of parking spaces are so close to each other that I feared my work truck would get trapped in, so I parked at the edge of an entrance to the parking lot. I phoned in my to-go order of an Italian grinder; that, plus a bag of chips, set me back just over $9 (I already had a soda). It's a little expensive, especially when you consider that the grinder wasn't that big. It was on a torpedo roll, which was nothing special; it was the kind you could buy at any supermarket ... so were the deli meats in the sandwich. The sandwich contained salami, and what appeared to be black forest ham (a bit of an odd choice for an Italian grinder). And, they sell Utz chips - which are a bargain-basement brand. It felt like I could have easily made an equally good sandwich myself, at home. Actually, the sandwich would have been bland, if not for the awesome balsamic vinegar. I will say the bread and all ingredients were fresh. Oh, and one more thing: I find it very ironic that a deli named Pickles does NOT include a pickle with your sandwich! Instead, you have to pay $1.50 for a pickle.

    An amazing sandwich shop that offers a hearty lunch for a low price. This place is a hidden local gem located away from the hustle and bustle of downtown. Upon arriving here you are greeted with a smile and a how can I help you. The very large menu with multiple options allows you to pick and choose how you would like your sandwich/sides. Today I ordered the All American which combined turkey, roast beef, and ham with lettuce, tomato, and cheese. The roll was soft and fresh and well proportioned to the amount of meat and toppings received. A little to much mayo was applied, but next time I'll just specify to go easy on the spread. I would absolutely visit this establishment again.

    I was looking for a quick lunch before going to the movies in Middletown and chose Pickles-A-Deli based on the yelp reviews and proximity to the theater. Pickles is located in a strip mall on Aquidneck. The menus are located on white boards on the walls, they offer 40+ sandwiches as well as a create your own option, so you can basically get whatever sandwich you can dream of. Sides include a number of different soups, chips and a few different cold pastas. I ordered a chicken pesto panini and my wife got a chicken salad. The staff was very nice and offered her a sample of the chicken salad before ordering (she even told us what local farm the chicken came from). The panini was average at best. The center was a bit cold and could have used another minute or two on the press to heat up like the rest of the sandwich. The chicken salad sandwich was slightly better. The restaurant could use a bit of work. There were some tiles in the corner that were coming up and the windows looked to be on their last leg. While Pickles was OK for a quick lunch, there are better options in the area, I do not plan to return.

Had the Italian as part of RI Food Fights menu and it was a phenomenal combination of ham, capicola, salami, provolone, lettuce, tomato, red onion, pepperoncini, OG vinaigrette on a baguette. Good portion of meats with the fresh veggies that tasted delicious. Grabbed a juice along with a little swag, premade corn beef and cabbage meal and a chourico pie for later.

I ordered a clam chowder cup and a hot lobster roll.

And they didn't skimp out on the meat too ! The lobster roll was filled to the brim and so delicious. The clam chowder was also incredible.

I went on a rainy Monday around noon and there was still a steady flow of customers. It seems to be a pretty popular spot. The staff is all very friendly. The soups were served to us immediately after paying. The New England Clam Chowder was good. Nice amount of clams and very creamy. I had never had Rhode Island Clam Chowder before and this seemed like the place to try it. The clear broth was surprisingly flavorful but I still prefer New England. My girlfriend and I ordered a good amount and the food came out pretty quickly. My favorite was the kung pao calamari. The squid was fried perfectly and having the sauce on the side was nice as it didn't leave the breading to get all soggy and I had control over how sweet it would be. The stuffed Quahogs tasted good but I feel like I tasted more of the stuffing over the actual shellfish. It still tasted good, but I feel like I should've gotten more shellfish. We were told they ran out of shells to serve them on so the presentation was off, but they were still tasty. The lobster rolls were both good. They were $27 which seems pretty steep to me but they were actually on the cheaper side compared to other places we saw around Newport. The lobster tasted fresh and the bread was good. They were solid lobster rolls. The food was all solid, but for the price I wasn't wowed.

Smaller shared parking lot to be mindful of here. Very welcoming staff that provided a great overview of the menu, drinks, made to take items and weekly specials. Casual relaxed atmosphere here with some music jamming in the background. Window bar seating if you are on your own or tables for four if meeting for a quick lunch bite. Started with a small chili which was fresh and full of flavor. For the main went with the Tuesday special with the recommended fish tacos (hearts of palm layered with nori flakes, crisp grated carrot, and shredded purple cabbage and a sliced jalapeño. Crispy tortilla with side of beans and rice). You can add a fresh pico and guac for additional prices, had both and were delicious! Assortment of drinks in the fridge along with some premade items (staff said it is rotational items and prepped earlier in the week if you want to max your options). After eating here can see what all the buzz was for a standout vegan option on island. A group came in after me and ordered a pizza that looked awesome as well.
