    First time here. It is a cute delicious shop. Friendly service. Walked up and ordered a pickled club. Ham, turkey,bacon, swiss, lettuce, tomato, avocado spread. U pick the bread u want it on. Served with pickle. U can pick a side and drink to make meal. But this delicious sandwich is really good. Stacked high with everything. Would recommend.

    Excellent service. Everybody was friendly and respectful- it was great to have a nice clean place to grab a bite out of the rain! The pickle club was excellent, and they serve early lunch as well as breakfast (at least around 10am when I was in). I got a T-shirt to commemorate my visit to St. Louis. Overall very happy with the experience and I'd certainly come back with family and friends in the future. Thanks guys!

    Italian Sub

    Nice staff Walk in, near the hotels near the arch Tried the Italian sub- it was delicious! The meat portion was generous. Soft bread. What made the sandwich was the sweet mustard. I would have tried more sandwiches if I had time

    Great local place with delicious foods. The shop was clean and we were immediately greeted upon entering. We ordered a Ruben and a wrap and they were prepared quickly. The staff was also super helpful with answering our tourist questions about St. Louis. Both sandwiches were delicious and you can tell the ingredients were all fresh. They weren't lacking in meats or ingredients as many places are these days! Plenty of tables if you wanted to eat there, or can take it to go picnic under the arch

    Amazing little deli in downtown St. Louis. The food was good. A lot of sandwiches to choose from. Prices were little pricey. Restaurant was clean and busy.

    Breakfast Menu

    Delicious, quick, reasonably priced breakfast! We ate here several days while staying nearby. They have gluten free bread and take precautions to avoid cross contamination for gluten allergies. Cheerful service and atmosphere.

    We ate here after a long, hot day of walking and it was perfection. I would recommend anyone who is nearby stop at this phenomenal sandwich shop. Barely any wait and such great menu options.

    Had a lovely time here after stumbling across this place while walking downtown. It was a super cute urban deli with kind and happy staff. There were lots of healthy options and dietary accommodations including gluten free bread. I got the veggie sandwich on GF bread and it was delicious! Food came out fast and delivered to the table. Wishing I had a Pickles Deli in my hometown!

    Pickles Deli is a convenient spot to grab lunch to go if you're in the area around the Gateway Arch. I tried out the Italian Sub along with a side of their Mustard Potato Salad. The sandwich is not the largest deli sandwich it'll fill you up if you get a side and/or a bag of chips. The flavors in the sandwich are well-balanced and there's a generous amount of meat inside. My favorite part of the whole meal however were the sweet pickles that were included. Next time I order from here, I'm definitely asking for extra pickles on the side. The mustard potato salad is not too saucy and I like the large potato chunks and tanginess to the salad. Definitely would stop by again! I recommend ordering ahead on their website if you don't want to wait in store. Orders that are ready to be picked up are just sitting on a table in front of the deli counter.

    Service was relatively fast. Restaurant was clean and had a good selection of Sandwiches. However, they are on the smaller side.

    Great food, great service , first time in St. Louis and this place was down the street from my hotel. Best breakfast sandwich I've had in a long time. Was greeted with a smile almost didn't want to leave. 5 stars

    Coleslaw
    Money F.

    This was my first time trying Pickles Deli AND it was delivery and I throughly enjoyed my meal. I ordered the corned beef sandwich on marbled rye with spicy mustard, mayo and pickles. So sooo good. I haven't had a corned beef in a long time. The coleslaw wasn't what I expected because it wasn't mayo based, however, the flavor of this coleslaw is unique! Sweet, acidic, crunchy! A refreshing side dish. My delivery was timely and my food arrived well packaged and warm. I will order from them again. I look forward to trying other menu items in the future.

    It looks small and inviting at first... don't be fooled, it's actually a giant sandwich! Comes w pickle.

Instead, my colleague and I decided to grab lunch at the Brewhouse Historical Sports bar inside the Hyatt. The Brewhouse Historical Sports bar had plenty of table seating, booth seating, and a large bartop. The restaurant celebrates St. Louis sport's history. It has a ton of TVs inside the restaurant which allows for different sports to be played on a variety of TVs. This restaurant has 60-70 locally produced brews. Some of these brews are lagers to regional microbrew favorites. If you're unsure what to pick out, you can even get a flight of local selections! The food offered during the lunch was relatively limited. The menu had burgers, salads, wraps, sandwiches, and a few different sides. The service was fantastic here though! The team member that was assisting our table brought out waters and the menu to our table. Looking over the menu, my colleague ordered the Southwest Grain Bowl. I wasn't too hungry, and ended up ordering a plain cheeseburger with a fruit cup, as well as a side of their white cheddar Mac n Cheese! The service was great and fast! We had entered the restaurant around 12:15. We ended up getting our meal around 12:35 after seating and placing our order. My cheeseburger was good. The fruit was some sliced melon, pineapple and a few other fruit selection. My favorite was the mac n cheese though. There was so much cheese and it was quite flavorful! My colleague enjoyed his Southwest Grain Bowl. The food was great here and the service was outstanding! I'm not sure when the next time I'll be back to St. Louis, but if I'm looking for another Sports bar in the area, I'd stop back here again!

The sandwich has ham, roast beef, turkey, provel, and is dressed with lettuce, tomato, pickle, onion, pepperoncini, sweet red pepper sauce on french bread. My wife, being vegetarian had the Panino Fresco. It included mozzarella, provolone, dressed with homemade olive salad, tomato, onion & Italian vinegar oil on an Italian roll. This was the first time in 26 years that she finished the entire sandwich. I had a bite of hers, and it is easy to see why she she finished it. So good. I even bought a memorable t-shirt as I loved Blues City Deli. The female counter person was so friendly. She even wrote down three other restaurants to try while we were visiting St Louis. Blues City Deli is a can't miss place and if we are back in St. Louis...we will be back.

There wasn't that much line when I went, they take your other at the kiosk by the bar. They have a large assortment of sandwiches, comes in whole OR half (which is half the price of a whole). I ordered 2 half sandwiches, "The Meatball" and "The Steak Out". It didn't take long at all to make my sandwiches and they also have options to customize specialty sandwiches if specific toppings are wanted. The Steak Out was the 1st sandwich tried, and was the best one out of the two. The steak was cooked medium rare but isn't too rare at all or overcooked past that if you are worried about that either. Not only that, but the jalapenos and the pepper mayo are to die for, and they didn't completely soak it in sauce (which is a common concern as well). Everything tastes so freshly made, with half a sandwich honestly being more than enough for 1 sitting. Overall rating 8.9/10. The Meatball was very good as well, meatballs were cooked well throughout and tender to the bite. I am not completely mad at the Baguette being the bread of choice but they couldn't have went wrong with ciabatta neither. It was a very solid sandwich, nothing too extraordinary but nothing I can really complain about neither. Overall rating 8.3/10. In past visits, I have also tried the Enzo Gorlomi (basically a spicy italian) which I thought was better than both sandwiches I tried during that visit, but I may be biased because I love spicy italian sandwiches. Should still try though in my opinion. All in all, I would definitely come back to this place when I'm in the area, pricing is pretty good for the food amount and quality you are getting. Vibes are cool in there, they seem like a business with a lot of experience doing what they do. I wouldn't say they are the absolute best in St. Louis... yet, but they are definitely up there for sure. They are also open until 1:30AM Tues - Sat so its a great late night option.
