Meat case
Emmy L.

Nice deli, very friendly staff. Plenty of seating options with quick service. I had a BBQ pulled pork sandwich on sourdough, the meat was delicious and the sourdough bread was great - I personally prefer pulled pork on a bun, but that's neither here nor there. Overall solid choice for lunch.

Everything is great, should try it out! Service was right on time. Ambiance will surprise you.

Grilled ham and cheese.

This location is as good as the downtown St. Louis location. I was thrilled to find this one so close to our appointment and it did not disappoint

I was starving and didn't want any of the cafeteria food at work. I've heard a few co workers in the past talk about this place. I went a little after they opened and I decided on ordering a pickles club sandwich and sour cream kettle chips. The staff was friendly and the wait for my food wasn't log ( about 10 mintues). The place is clean and well organized. The sandwich was amazing and tasted really well. I wish I would have grabbed some mayo or mustard since the avocado spread was the only thing on the sandwich but other than that this was pretty tasty. Will be back to try more sandwich. As always until next time...

Sandwiches were good. There is outdoor seating area so you can bring your dog and sit outside on a nice day. Got our food pretty fast.

Great place to stop for lunch! Quick and easy order process-- love that you can order online ahead. Great seating available. Will be back if in the area.

Pastrami on Marble Bread
Vivienne C.

Been wanting to try Pickles Deli for awhile, so was very excited to finally get the opportunity to try it. The store was pretty packed for a Saturday lunch, but the food got to our table very quickly. I ordered a Pastrami on Marble Bread and it was pretty good. The woman at the cash register said that their pastrami was voted the best in St. Louis which I'm not quite sure about, but it was pretty good nonetheless. I appreciate that it wasn't super heavy on the meats and that there were a lot of sauerkraut and different types of cheeses to balance it out. Also, the ingredients weren't overflowing enough so that the bread wouldn't catch all of it which now in hindsight maybe is a bad thing because you would want more ingredients in the sandwich. This is like the opposite of the pastrami at Carl's Deli where there is so much meat the sandwich begins to burst. Overall, pretty good deli although not the best pastrami in St. Louis in my opinion but would come back to try their other hot sandwiches.

Breakfast Sandwich (Eggs, Bacon, Onions, Green Peppers, Provolone on French Bread)
Steven P.

Stopped in for early lunch last Thursday while in STL for appointments knowing nothing about this spot...super impressed though! The sammy's were outstanding and everyone working seemed happy and pleasant! We tried multiple different sandwiches and all of them were crazy good! My only slight knock was just a bit too loud on the music...could have also been because it was early morning but I felt few notches down would have helped the ambiance a bit!

French Dip Sandwich
Yupeng L.

Been here twice and I have to say my impression is pretty average. During my most recent visit, I ordered the French dip sandwich. I will say, the sandwich itself tasted great - the beef was juicy and well-seasoned. However, a common theme among my visits (and the pictures on the menu) is portion size. Most of the sandwiches appear to fall on the smaller end. Even the meatball sub is nowhere close in size to what you'd get at a chain like Subway or Jimmy Johns. Given the sandwiches alone are $11, without drink or sides, I'd expect better portion sizes to justify the price. The value here is slightly better than Panera, but just barely so. Service was fast. Overall, the quality of the sandwiches here are actually decent. For the price, I wish the portions were larger.

Philly Cheesesteak
John S.

This place is in my neighborhood, and since I've been living here for three years, I figured I should try it. I am sorry I waited!! I ordered the Philly Cheesesteak, chips and an iced tea. Oh and a cheesecake brownie. The sandwich was very tasty. I think they could get a better chip selection. The brownie was on the gooey side, which I like, but know others don't. The staff was friendly and helped me decide between the Reuben and the Philly Cheesesteak. This place also serves breakfast which looks good! I'll have to try that soon!

Gyro Sandwich   @hybrideater
Zach H.

Go to pickles deli for all your sandwich needs. Fresh made and ready to take on the road. The gyro wrap was mighty tasty. Loved the meat and bread. Wish they put more meat on tho! Would be awesome! Can't wait to try other menu items here.

Specialty chips.
Michael S.

I have this annoying quirk where I sometimes walk into a restaurant that specializes in something--like bar-b-que---and end up ordering an item that's not their specialty, such as a chicken fried pork chop. Or, I go into a terrific hamburger place and choose fish and chips. The results are predictable: dissatisfaction with my choices. Today, I went to Pickles and rather than order a deli staple like a Reuben, a Cuban, or a pastrami sandwich I walked out with a gyro. Now, it wasn't a bad gyro but it didn't dazzle like those from Mediterranean restaurants. Pickles might be a five-star spot. I'll have to return to find out. Pickles offers friendly, helpful staff and a smallish dining room. Paid parking on the street is at a premium on this popular West End street.

Half of our turkey Reuben with the kraut on the side.
Tink R.

Loved our sandwich, chips, Mtn. Dew (!), and Blonde Brownie. Everything was fresh and tasty...hot if it was supposed to be, cold if it was supposed to be...and the service was quite congenial! Hopefully we'll be back on another trip through St. Louis!

Create your own: pretzel bun, turkey, Swiss and avocado spread! Side of pasta salad.

Since this place is such a staple, we figured we had to give it a try. The place was absolutely packed, which clearly shows it's a local favorite. Even with how busy they were, our pickup order was ready on time -- actually before the scheduled pickup since I arrived about five minutes early. The atmosphere definitely had that classic local sandwich shack vibe and seemed like it would make a great casual lunch spot for almost any occasion. Unfortunately, the food itself just didn't live up to the reputation for us. We ordered the hot salami sandwiches, which they're known for, but they were extremely greasy and the only flavors that really stood out were mustard and grease. We expected a lot more flavor and balance considering it's their specialty item. We also placed a large luncheon order of 10 sandwiches. Everyone was satisfied overall and the food was decent enough, but nothing really stood out or made us excited to come back. We personally prefer Adriana's for both flavor and overall quality. One of the biggest disappointments was that none of the sandwiches had cheese on them, even though we paid an extra $2 per sandwich for the garlic cheese bread upgrade. That was frustrating considering the additional charge. Honestly, I'm guessing we may have just caught them on an off day because it's obvious this spot has a loyal following. We still appreciate supporting local STL businesses and can understand why so many people love it -- it just wasn't quite the experience we were expecting.

It was great…read more I read in my preview that the line to the counter is always there...but it moves quickly...and it is and does. I had to visit Blues City as I heard they have great Po Boys...and they do. I am used to having oysters or shrimp on a Po Boy. Not here. They are basically served with many versions of meat. I had the Benton Park Po Boy and it was incredible. 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.

Great sandwiches, quick line and service. Sandwich was big enough to save other half for later…read more Perfect place to grab a bite before the brewery tour. Indoor and outdoor seating. We ate in our car, no spots available. Benton Park is up and coming.

First, I love that this is a locally family owned and run Busines. We tried the Zach and the Meatball sandwich. The Zach was packed with turkey, cheese and pesto.

One Saturday I took my kids to Kirkwood park and decided to stop in at Vitale's on the way home. I'm so glad that I did! The shop isn't anything fancy, there is a counter inside and then a handful of tables outside. It is primarily a to go joint which is pretty standard for delis. It gives off the vibe that you should just stroll up from the neighborhood and grab something to eat, chat for a while with other locals, and then head home. It has a nice, no frills vibe that I really enjoyed. The sandwiches are pretty typical for an Italian Deli with most of them featuring variations of lunchmeat. I'm always a sucker for meatball sandwiches though so that is what I got with a side of chips. It was outstanding. The meatballs were GIANT and they were the right texture. It was large enough that I had to split it across two meals. The owner was really nice when I was inside and talked to both of my kids. My kids were so well behaved they convinced me to buy them a cannoli on the way out the door. Over this shop fills its niche well, the shop was clean, the staff was friendly, and the food was good. I'll be stopping back in again in the near future.

Finding a good spot for sandwiches is hard especially since my husband is a former "sandwich…read moreartist" from his college days, lol. But after an intense Costco trip, we were wanting a hearty sandwich. They are located in a strip mall, where they are many other busy businesses so parking can be a little tough. But going in, they were packed! Tip to tail, it was just people trying to get their food. And, that was us waiting a while to come in to pick up our goods. So, absolutely order ahead because it will make it somewhat easier. We ordered: The JD Cold Shoulder - cold cuts on a garlic roll with chipotle ranch. My husband loved his, and glad he ordered it with the garlic roll. Joe's Spicy Italian - this was spicy and sweet, and it really hits when you love a good spicy italian sandwich. You can choose your bread, and I opted for mine to be on a French roll. Great sandwiches, long wait, but just really good and worth the wait!
