On a long drive from NY south needed to stop for a bite to eat and wasn't feeling the love for a truck stop or a chain and found this restaurant on a quick search.... Found the restaurant and it's in a house... converted to a restaurant. Walked in and the place was completely empty - not a good sign right around 5 pm. The lady running the place told us to grab a seat, grabbed our drink order and we looked at the menus. We opted for three burgers and a kiddie meal and a large basket of fries to share. The decor was interesting, lots of funny songs to read, the meal took a few minutes to arrive and without sounding cruel I was completely underwhelmed....the burgers were small....real small for $12-13 a piece not including fries or any sides. They tasted fine - I guess but would have taken two to fill me up. Bill for three was over $50 and I kicked myself for not just staying on the highway and hitting a gas station. The place itself was fine, clean, organized just completely overpriced. Live and learn - would not recommend or return. read more

The Pickle Nickel - Burger n fries. - American Near Me - Dillsburg, Pennsylvania

This a hamburger sandwich shop. It's locally owned. This sits in a house setting in the Main Street of Dillsburg. The menu is somewhat small but has an appealing selection. Today I ordered a sirloin steak sub. I made a small change to it. It was impressive delicious. In fact I almost ordered a second one! Service was good. For what this place offers and my experience here today. I do recommend it. I will definitely be coming back. read more

You can either enter the front or the side of the restaurant. Handicap accessible. Grab a menu when you walk in and have a seat wherever you like. First off, I forgot to take any pictures, so my bad. But boy the food was so good, I didn't even think of pics at the time. The fried pickles are fried perfectly & taste delicious. Just wish it was a larger portion. I had the Nikki's Luau Burger and couldn't be more impressed. The slice of grilled pineapple really complimented the burger and gave it a perfect sweet & salty balance. The fresh cut French fries are perfectly done also. Staff is friendly & accommodating. read more

The food was spectacular, very tasty and the service was super friendly and fast Really liked finding it in downtown

I met a friend from Harrisburg for lunch - the Pickle Nickel is about halfway. The restaurant is on the first floor of an old neighborhood home. I can't put my finger on it but I didn't feel like I was in a cute little dining room - perhaps the lack of heat in the room was part of the problem. Our lunch was good but it took more time than expected for it to be served. I can't say I'll never go back - most everybody deserves a chance to try to get it right. read more

The food was excellent, and the setting was charming, making me eager to return. Everyone was very friendly.

We both got the 4oz mushroom Swiss burger and shared onion rings. I don't understand why they didn't serve coffee.... and the atmosphere was zero. But the food was excellent and good value. read more

The Pickle Nickel - Classic burger and fried handmade! - American Near Me - Dillsburg, Pennsylvania

The food was great at Pickle Nickle. The place wasn't as clean as I'd like and it's a weird layout because it's in an old house but the food was good. Not sure I'd go back and eat in, might do take out. read more

It was raining outside but the floors inside were dry and clean. The hot soup we ordered hit the spot and staff were friendly.

It was a muggy summer eve on July 1st. As always, when traveling, we like to search out local establishments, and while eating well, we can also support local entrepreneurs. My wife found this gem with a Google search. After landing and getting settled into our rental house, our group of 8btook a leisurely two block stroll down the street to the Pickle Nickel. We were handed our menus and seated in the front room to peruse the menu and order our drinks. I ordered the 50-50. It's a combination of 50% rough ground bacon and 50% ground sirloin. It arrives on a bun with any toppings they have, and as I discovered, it's fried in a special sauce comprised of basalmic vinegar, rosemary, and maple syrup. Seems fitting with the bacon. Eating the sandwich was a somewhat messy affair since the burger was cooked to perfection and oozed of the aforementioned sauce. As I told the owners wife and cook before I left, "That was the most deliciously messy burger I have ever eaten". I didn't taste all of the other burgers, but my wife was well pleased with her bacon cheeseburger. I can't finish this review without talking about the fries. Their fries are handcut and are offered naked for you to dip in Ketchup or they also come covered with bacon and cheese as my Mother in law and daughter ordered along with some Pickle Nickel sauce on the side. All I can say about the sauce is that it adds a whole new taste level to fries with its spice level! So I end by saying that if you want some off the charts burgers and fries, please give this establishment a try! read more

This was an enjoyable throwback to the days of handmade food! Thick cut fried and handmade hamburgers and crab cakes. Service was attentive and outstanding the ambiance was a throwback to my youth of the 80's with records and star wars memorabilia! Enjoy the go! We'll be Back! read more

Go for the burgers, not the decor. We each had tiny four-ounce burgers and split a large fries and a chocolate milkshake (which they offered to put in two cups for us, which was nice). Everything was excellent, but since it was all fresh, it takes longer than a fast-food joint (thank goodness!). Looked like they were doing some repair work on the walls in the back hallway (but it didn't seem active, so who knows how long that will be around), but the plumbing worked and it was clean enough. read more

Came in for a quick bite and left impressed. Tables were clean, service was polite, and the chicken wrap was delicious.

We had an awesome lunch - sirloin burgers with mushrooms and onions and my husband had the crab cake on a burger - shared onion rings. All was well cooked and seasoned. Cute place, nice folks! Great spot!! read more

I just want a tshirt that says I pickle nickle and 85 characters seems deep for what is clearly a bangin burger joint. Eat there. Tip well. What an adorable place read more

Food is good , prices are fair , some oddities on the menu . Staff has always been friendly . Hours are a bit strange .

A nice homey feel and the service was good and so was the food but shocked at the $42 for 3 people . 2 burgers and fish and chips. Fries are homemade and delicious! read more

We recently did an order for pick up. It was ready in the quoted 20 minutes and everything was delicious! Would definitely recommend!

Super friendly waitstaff and delicious burgers! Onion rings were great too! A favorite spot for taking friends.

Great local eatery. Burgers and hand cut fries are the best choice here. Great hometown place.

Sandwiches are yummy, delicious shakes Worth your while service, too! Appreciate small town atmosphere read more

Great food!! Good service, very loud inside, go in summer and eat outside!! Don't take small kids unless you are a responsible parent...busy road!! read more

This place was awesome! We were in the area and looked up food places on Yelp and saw this place had 4 1/2 stars. It's on the corner of the street so there isn't much parking but there's a lot right across the street with lots of space. I had the mushroom swiss sandwich with grilled chicken and my husband had the 8oz Nikki Luau burger and we shared a large order of fries. It was all great! His burger was huge and juicy, all sirloin meat. The fries are homemade, fresh cut. We just sprinkled some old bay on them. The employees are super friendly and the cook/owner even talked to us and asked how everything was.I would definitely go back! read more

I'm not really sure about this place.. I am an advocate for supporting the locals but this place was just.... odd. Food-The menu definitely drew me here, plenty of options. I got the bacon Luvah burger. It was good, felt and looked like a Pinterest burger attempt, the bacon was not crispy( not the bacon inside) it had the bacon flavor however the burger meat wasn't flavor packed but it wasn't bland either just meh. My daughter got the cheeseburger mini from the kids menu, the mini is no exaggeration def not a fulfilling meal for any kid, toddlers included. My fiancé got the special, it had coleslaw on it, nothing impressing but not bad... Environment- We parked across the street since we read(other Yelp reviews) the parking was minimal... They have a little arcade for kids, my daughter enjoyed this very much. The staff is where this visit just became so odd/awkward. Though they were nice and attentive they seemed to be TOO comfortable. I get it's a hometown restaurant but talking loudly about your personal business in the dining area is just unprofessional. I felt super awkward knowing all about the staff members home life... and it's just not what I want to hear when I'm trying to enjoy dinner with my family... We left with our belly's full but also left kinda wondering is the food and arcade worth listening to staff complaining about their personal life read more

I want to give this a higher rating because I love to support local businesses who cook real food . . . but I can't. The new location is lacking parking so we had to park in the lot across the street and risk life and limb to cross the busy street. The door that looks like the entrance, isn't the entrance unless you are handicapped; so you have to go around to the side. Once in, it's cramped. We found a booth in the front room and got cozy. It felt like people were crawling over each other to get to their seats. We were near the handicapped door and watched group and group try to enter (some ignored the sign and used it anyway). I love the ambiance. I love the colors. I love the "homestyle" charm of the place. The service is GREAT! The food plus the cramped quarters is what leaves me with the 3 star rating. The burgers are way over cooked. There is no juice. They are tough and dry. You can tell by the flavor that they're using good meat. Which makes the overcooking even more frustrating. If you want a dry piece of meat on a bun . . . it's a good option. I prefer my burgers juicy, even if they are cooked until there is no pink. The fries are fine, but the ones we ordered (with the peppers) were hard to eat because the pepper pieces were so large. You could eat a fry or a pepper . . . but not together. If the hot peppers were diced up, you could eat the fries with a little pepper. For the cost, I'd rather make burgers at home where I can make sure they are nice and juicy. The arcade is in the back and consists of a few machines. I'd call it a few game machines. I'm not sure I'd call it an arcade. read more

Trust me.... Grilled cheese with tomato and bacon is like heaven. Go here 2 times a month. I eat the grilled cheese there so the wife doesn't know and then bring home burgers , fries and shakes for dinner. Spice the Chuck Norris up x50%... it should hurt more!!! Dan read more

Great comfort food sandwiches and soup found the place by mistake and would go back tomorrow

We stopped in when vistiting town and really enjoyed our lunch. Everything was delicious and the malts were a hit with the kids (and us adults :) The dining areas are cozy but comfortable. The service was excellent. We will be back if in town again! read more

Such a fun little place in Dillsburg. Perfect for family night out or lunch or anytime you need a great bite to eat. I lobe the 1950s-jukebox-diner feeling inside and the staff is courteous and well versed. Its so fun for the kids and the food is excellent and never boring read more

If I could give this place more stars I would. The food is simple and tasty. Lots of creative sandwiches and burgers, but also few veggie and seafood options. Fried Pickles are a must, so is Nikki's Laua Burger. Now the bonuses comes in a form of the friendly service and if you have kids, their special is a must. Tokens, what tokens? Was our reaction. And low and behold there is a small arcade tucked away in back. Not only you child will be entertained, but also will leave with a small prise. Win win win. Last but not least. The owner, Kelly, thoughtfully offered us additional coffee refill to-go. The Pickle Nickel is likely will be our "apres ski" destination when skiing in Roundtop. read more

Excellent burgers, raspberry milkshakes!!! And very good (and huge) fish and chips...

This was our first time at the new location, but it was just as good as their old shop just up the street. The owners are always nice and will get you whatever you like. For a "hometown" restaurant the food is quite good. Burgers are done to your preference and are hand-made. A large fry could feed an army. The milkshakes are awesome and are hand-spun with local ice cream. There's an arcade for the kids, so it's a nice place to bring the family instead of a chain restaurant. Since it's a local family owned restaurant I give it 5 stars. We'll continue to patronize them and bring the kids. read more

Stopped for a quick bite and throughly enjoyed our lunch. Cute place great service and great food. Definitely worth stopping.

This is one of our go-tos right now. They have great burgers and sides and are reliable and prompt with our orders, especially since everything is being done by takeout these days. The staff is pleasant and polite and makes sure to get the order right. Their hours and days are reduced right now, but that's understandable. A great local place. read more
