    Quality food, clean, classic diner feel. Got a breakfast sandwich. It came in a roll which is usually a bad sign. But not here. Delicious roll with eggs (2), bacon, cheese. Very good. Got the fruit cup. A little melon heavy but fine. Wife got breakfast burritos that she says was great. Service efficient and friendly. Highly recommend!

    Unfortunately my wrap was really bad, borderline inedible. The wrap was grilled, why would you grill a wrap with cold lettuce??? Not even grill... PANINI PRESS. The lettuce was wilted, hot, and disgusting. Just when I think I'm over it, I have an intrusive thought about how bad this wrap was. It was so bad that a day later it is distracting me from my daily tasks. I think this wrap fundamentally changed my world view, and it will take a long time to recover and become the man I was before I attempted to eat this $13 catastrophe. Not much else to say really... Sad.

    Small chicken souvlaki salad
    Anika T.

    Nice little deli off of SONO busy street. Parking is super tight and almost non existent and then you need to pay for meter parking. The staff was less than welcoming. It's a normal deli nothing to really write home about. The tuna melt cheese was barely melted we asked for avacado to be added and you could barely see it. Another coworker ordered Rueben with a side salad and the salad was added in the take out container along with his hot salad so by the time we got back to office it was pretty wilted. Souvlaki salad had very moist chicken that was flavored well and one grape leaf with mushy tomatoes. As you walk out of the deli towards the back entrance you see a stand up violet with glass see through casing that had open cake box and veggies that were just loosely tossed in, wasn't a great look. Maybe just an off day? They do take credit card

    Only spotted by the gentleman working behind the counter. He said hello and asked if I'd like some water. I said I'd like coffee. He worked quickly to get me a cup. He had to keep nudging the other waitress to help me. Finally she asked if i needed a menu. It wasn't automatic, which was odd. No actual greeting to welcome me to the restaurant. She didnt ask if i needed my parking validated. After i arrived, more people came in and the " Good Mornings "" we're flowing.... Wish I was greeted like that.... Just saying.... Hollandaise sauce for my eggs Benedict was bland. There was no flavor to it. Very plain.

    Bacon Egg & Cheese  sandwhich   Side of corned beef hash

    With a few tweaks, This place has the potential to be great. Staff may be one of their biggest downfalls. First, no one speaks when you walk in the door. I wasn't sure if I could just sit anywhere, or if I had to order first then choose a table. I went to the bar/counter and just sat down because it felt safe. Throughout my meal I noticed other people walking thru the front door experiencing the same thing; no one speaking, looking confused, & being unsure of where to go and what to do. Food was good. What I wanted they were out of, so I went with a bacon, egg, and cheese sandwhich with a side of corned beef hash. The sanwhich had a very comforting corner store feel. Corner stores & delis typically make the best bacon egg cheese sanwhiches. The hash was fresh and had the crunchy pieces that I like to give it texture and that homey feeling. Customer service wasn't bad, until your thirsty and your server isn't paying any attention to see you're out of juice. Lol. They have free parking on the side and behind the building. I asked about the parking and was told that I had to put my license plate # in an i-pad, which I never saw. I didn't know, so My server did it for me. That's when I realized the slight issue... They treat everyone as if they had been there several times before. It's a slight cockiness, like we don't have to earn your loyalty and trust, you should already be a fan." OnceI recieved the check, like that was the end of my service. I just left the money on the bar. Didn't get a thank you, have a nice day, good bye, a smile or anything from my server or any other employees, so as I was walking out, I thought about it, tuned around and went back to retrieve some of the excess tip money. Felt like just another number and totally Unappreciated... Return: Maybe if I'm walking around or at an event in the area, but intentionally? Probably not

    Great service, friendly staff and a clean restaurant. Unfortunately the food just wasn't good. The cheesesteak tasted more like ground beef than chopped steak. Also tried the Turkey Club, which was decent but not memorable. If you're in SoNo, there are a lot of great restaurants. This one will work in a pinch.

    All in 1 Sandwich
    Manny L.

    I don't know why we keep giving this place chances. Probably due to convenience. Doubt the owner will bother contacting us as his staff was protective of giving out his name and refused to let me be able to talk to him. He's "in and out" when I asked what time he would be in. We ordered the "All In One"; which is Bacon, Sausage, Egg, and Cheese with potatoes. My wife bites into it and she found that it was pretty much just a potato sandwich. We opened it up and found one slice of bacon on the left one half sausage link on the right and a slice of ham. Not to be picky but normally when you pay double the price for three meats you actually get the three meats normal portion. We called as we thought this was a error by the Chef. The server called back and confirmed that's how they make it. So another words when you order the "All In One" they decrease all the normal amount of meat you get when you order a bacon/egg or sausage/egg or ham/egg when they make it and charge you double the price and pack it full of hash browns. DO NOT ORDER THIS. Waitress was pretty rude by the way like she couldn't be bothered for us questioning this. She requested us to bring it back so they could "show the chef" when I told her I'd be happy to send them pictures vs. walking all the way back she backed down as if we were trying to pull a fast one. Photos below. I'd be happy to consider changing the review score if the owner calls. Pretty crappy you have to make an offer to get a hold of the owner...be better.

Super surprised that it wasn't slammed. We walked right in at lunch time and were just about the only ones there. The menu is overwhelming. I feel like I'd need to eat here for like a month straight to actually try everything that I want to. My son eats like a bird so he stuck to the "basic" menu and got the cookies and cream waffle. That was breakfast, lunch and dessert all in one. They did not skip on the crushed oreos. My daughter and I needed to see some of the viral dishes for ourselves so we stuck to the Social Media section of the menu. She got the Fried Chicken Mac N Cheese burrito and I got the Smash Wrap. Neither one of us finished even half of our mains. They are huge! Bigger isn't always better but the quality was not lost in the size. They were also delicious. We both loved the mac n cheese filling. Our waitress was super sweet and when she found out we were traveling, she threw in some complimentary "famous" cinnamon sugar donuts for the ride. I forgot to get a pic of those, but they were nice and fresh, even after we waited a few hours before eating them because we just about rolled out of there after eating so much. We will have to stop back in another time to share one of the gigantic milkshakes.

Both of the items were part of a bigger meal that would have been wasted if ordered.

The chicken was the highlight, crispy on the outside, juicy inside, and really well seasoned. You can tell it was freshly made. The cornbread was also really good, soft, warm, slightly sweet, and even better with the sorghum honey butter. The mac & cheese was great. it was rich, creamy, and felt homemade in the best way. I'm not usually a fan of cole slaw, and this one was a bit watery, I should have asked if I could swap it out. The desserts were a highlight too, the peach empanada was nice and warm, buttery, paired perfectly with the ice cream and icing, and the banana pudding was smooth, classic, and comforting with the nilla wafer crumble and fresh banana. Even my starter arugula lemon vinaigrette salad was delicious. Service was excellent and attentive, and the ambiance is definitely upscale and stylish. Overall, it's on the pricier side, but that feels expected for the quality and setting.

Not really all so bad since we got to spend extra time with our dear mother, and the food was exceptional when it finally arrived. I recommend going at a time that isn't quite so busy for a better experience.

(Visited 3/11) Ambiance [4/5]: Minimalist style design, it's nice, Theres also pretty lighting and a good amount of seating with an open bar as well. Food: Trix latte w/ whole milk (seasonal): [4/5] Tastes like a bowl of cereal from a cup. Topped with whipped cream it's really delicious! Tastes like a cup of childhood. Theres a good anount of cereal in the cup alongside the ice so it feels like you get a good amount of sips before the drink is done. Other than that it's still pretty good nonetheless. Sin-A-Bun: [5/5] This is very delicious, it's a perfect mix of sweet and savory. The smokiness from the bacon surprisingly compliments the cinnamon roll buns. Good concept and executed perfectly. If there were an option i'd choose that over having it on the side. Surprisingly I didn't notice it on the side on the sandwich until I was half way through. Still delicious though. Challah french toast [5/5] Tasty and sweet. You can't go wrong with french toast. I added strawberries, blueberries, bananas, and Nutella drizzle (each topping is $3 extra). It was worth the price it was delicious. It came with a side of butter which compliments the sweetness of the toast and some syrup. I didn't use much of the syrup but it was still delicious when I did decide to use it! I wouldn't order this because for delivery because its one of those things that taste so much better fresh in front of you rather than waiting to he dropped off. Service: [5/5] Fast and efficient service! The restaurant works as a team. One man sat me, The middle eastern girl with the long sleeve black shirt took my order and checked on me, and the white boy with the arm tattoos and pen between his ear checked on me at times, and cleaned my table while the girl was busy. It's great to see everyone helping each other and not letting anyone suffer. I Loved it! Overall Cafe social, is a great restaurant to stop by if you plan on going to the mall. Not only is it a 8 minute walk but you're also given a great meal and overall greater experience. I see myself coming back here if I'm ever in norwalk looking for a quick bite!

    Damn what a night this has been!…read more So a friend and I decided to come eat here after going to a funeral visitation for a co-worker. It was the first time in 18 years I had been to anything funeral-related, but harkening back to my childhood, we'd have food after funeral services to celebrate the life of the lost loved one, so it was a piece of me I wanted to share with my friend. Another thing that contributed to my wanting to come here is that this is a place I've been wanting to come to ever since this restaurant opened, and it went doubly so when it was named the Best Restaurant in Connecticut for 2024. The fact I finally got to go in of itself was a blessing, and I have to say that I am glad we came here. We were seated immediately upon arrival, and service was quick from start to finish. Our waiter was excellent. He was great making recommendations in effort to get us to save some money, took any questions we had with a smile, and made ordering an easy-peasy affair. Ambiance was very casual, great for any occasion really. If I ever had a date and this was where they took me, I'd be wanting a second date already. They're great for family get-togethers too. Oh, and the bathroom walls made me laugh with their witty one-liners like "Don't be a Gherk" or "Just Dill With It". So based on the recommendations we were given, we shared both of the appetizers we'd ordered: the fried pickles and the biscuits and fix-in's. The fried pickles that this place is known for were really good, very comparable to what you might get from a true Southern state. It comes with a spicy mayo, and paired together, it's divine! The biscuits & fix-ins are two large biscuits accompanied by four types of butter: salted, maple, vanilla, and the strawberry. They were all good, but we both agreed that the vanilla one was out-of-this-world, and the maple one had an authentic Vermonter taste to it. The strawberry one tastes like a strawberry cream cheese which is a good thing here, and even the salted butter was good. We each also got an entree, and I was the only one who ordered a drink. My friend had the Classic Mac & Cheese, and I had the Southwest Meat Platter as well as a Dirty Aphrodite. I love me some good ribs when I eat Southern food, and having the meats all in one, I couldn't say no to that. If I'm being honest, I came close to picking the Kentucky Porch Sipper for my drink, but the call of the Dirty Aphrodite was too big to ignore. And boy oh boy do they make the combination of pickle brine and vodka work with this drink! I don't think I've ever had vodka quite like that before, but Jacob's Pickles does it so well here! The entrees were also great. I saw the cheese pulls as my friend ate and I could tell I probably would have enjoyed that version of the classic dish. As for my dish, the ribs were tender and fell clean off the bone, tasted like a true BBQ wonder. The pulled pork was succulent, ratioed perfectly so nothing overpowers in the dish. The sausage tasted superb. The Nashville Hot Chicken was crispy, juicy, spicy without being overwhelming. The Pickle Slaw was some good Slaw. Is it the best I've ever had? No. But it's competent and definitely deserves to be called a slaw. Jalapeños and corn were great, and I even got another buttermilk biscuit to use the remaining butter we didn't use on our appetizers. All-in-all, one of the best outings I've had in a while. I mean it when I say this: Jacob's Pickles is a MUST-GO! It's that good! You won't regret it.
