    We stopped here totally randomly because we were in the area! Didn't look like much from the outside and nearly aborted as we wanted a sit down meal, but we gave it a shot and we are so glad that we did. We dined in for breakfast with my husband getting a big breakfast sandwich with homemade chili, bacon, eggs and cheese. All the things, it was huge! I got an omelette that had bacon AND sausage and American cheese. The food was made fresh and HOT and it was all so yummy!!! We want to return for lunch, there are so many homemade sauces I'd like to try. The staff there and the man preparing the food are so freaking nice and welcoming. Overall big win! My mouth is watering :)

    Loved Blue Cactus Grill! Looks very unassuming from the outside but inside is full of magic. It has a deli feel to it with a counter and the grill in the back, couple tables to eat at inside. Service is great, gentlemen was passionate about working there, love to see that. My wife and I got breakfast, I had the Bronx Bomber on a hard roll containing bacon, egg, delicious homemade chili, potato which were fries, and cheese of course. Delicious sandwich, great size as a well. They have a Ron of house made sauces to try out as well and they bottle them if you like them so much, pretty amazing. My wife got the American omelet which had both bacon and sausage and we split an order of the home fries. They were the diced variety, wished they were slightly more crispy but still loved them and put sauce all over them. I have to get back to try them for lunch, this place rocks!!

    Stopped in quickly to grab lunch and was pleasantly surprised at the size of my chopped chili. I'm ngl, I did eat while driving so I don't have a pic but it's well worth the $. Juan was very helpful at the counter and we held a great conversation while I waited for my food. The parking was a bit difficult

    Fiesta Mac and cheese & veggie lovers "cheesesteak" - amazing, even the coleslaw!

    This place is SO good I would make the hour drive for it again and again. We were recommended this spot during work travels and are currently beyond stuffed and still have leftovers! Staff was friendly and food was fresh and tasty.

    We came here while in CT for a homeschool field trip. Hubby really wanted a Philly cheesesteak and this place had really great reviews so we decided to check it out. I'm not gonna lie...when we pulled up, I had serious reservations. LOL. I checked Yelp to make sure we were in the right spot. We went in, checked out the menu and made our order. Hubby got his cheesesteak, babes had tendies n fries, and I got a few different items, including their AMAZING cactus slaw, jalapeño poppers and NE clam chowder. All of the food was really good. They're definitely a small but mighty shop. They have only a few tables so we ate our food in the car before heading back home. I'm happy I ordered extra slaw...it's sooooo good!

    This food was super fresh and who I think was the owner was super nice. I asked if the chili was spicy because we wanted to order some for someone else he was willing to give me a taste. I thought that was really accommodating on his part. I was disappointed when my sandwich came out hot I thought I was ordering a cold sandwich. I'm biased against hot sandwiches (I think they eat messy) and the clam chowder ate heavy. Too much cream and potatoes for my taste but it did have good flavor. I also didn't enjoy eating the quesadilla that fell apart in my hands. I don't like messy food. I think they would greatly benefit from putting out those cheap clear plastic gloves. I know I would've enjoyed the meal much more.

    Do they serve beer and wine?

    I'm fairly sure they don't serve alcohol. It's more of a deli than a restaurant.

    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.

They have a fun burger selection, ranging from a classic bacon, lettuce, and tomato burger to the KC Burger, which I ordered. Mine came piled with an onion ring, jalapeño peppers, cheddar cheese, and Sweet Baby Ray's sauce on a toasted seeded roll. All burgers come with a small side of coleslaw, pickle chips, and your choice of fries, sweet potato fries, or onion rings, which is a nice touch. The person I was with ordered the Chino Burger, loaded with bacon, fried onions, and plenty of fresh blue cheese. The food came out hot and tasty, and the burgers were definitely thick and filling. My only real complaint was that the burger could have used a little more seasoning, and I think it would have gone up another notch if it had been flame-broiled instead of seared. Overall, this is not a fancy place, but it is a solid spot for a quality meal. If you are in the area or just passing through, I would recommend checking it out.

Both were great, but the brussels sprouts stood out to me. As for the pizza, we got the Margherita, Rustic, & Bayside. All of them were great, but the Bayside had to be my favorite. The pistachio pesto and goat cheese went very well together. The Rustic was a close runner up- mushrooms and truffle oil are always a match made in heaven. The Margherita was a classic but with the style of super thin, almost cracker-thin pizza I preferred the other two more.
