I recently visited Brooklyn Pickle in Raleigh and was seriously impressed. This place has been around for over 50 years, and it's easy to see why they've lasted so long. The subs are huge, loaded with fresh ingredients, and packed with flavor in every bite. Nothing feels skimpy here, everything is stacked high and made like they actually care about the quality. The Raleigh location definitely lives up to the hype. The portions are generous, the bread is fresh, and the sandwiches come out exactly how you want them. If you're really hungry or just want a solid deli-style sub, this is the place to go. If you're in the area and looking for a delicious, filling meal, I highly recommend checking them out. read more

Italian sandwich was fine. Nothing special. Chose the white bread (maybe a poor choice on my part) but very 'meh.' Pickles were good. "Giant" sandwich is somewhat true in that the bread is over-sized compared to sliced bread -- but meat was lacking for sure. Friendly greeting upon entering. Clean and tidy...and naturally lit store inside. Nice patio seating. Kind of expensive for a simple sandwich. Not worth another visit. read more

No way this place isn't 5 stars!! This sammy was not a wammy at all!! This was an absolute jackpot and hidden gem. Tucked away near the NC museum of art, we picked up 3 sandwiches and they were delicious. So filling, good portions, quality produce, and professional staff. It felt like we were in NYC when it was a place people wanted to go. A small deli where you know you won't be disappointed. I already recommended others to check it out. Now that I am writing this review, it's a reminder to go back! Oh, and make sure you don't say no to the pickle on the top. read more

I got introduced to this prize via DOORDASH I had been fight allergies so I ordered chicken soup Italian sub with fix all Ginger Ale. Dragging myself to door after my delivery came to my security cam cell and watch, I was extremely pleased by the smell instantly as opened my door to grab my prompt delivery. The soup was in a quart sized clear container so not only could I smell the aroma of hot fresh soup even with allergies my eyes could see white meat chicken large slices of carrots celery so I dove into broth instantly as I unpacked my goodies. Zing the flavors of broth were just tonic I needed to fight allergies, then my salivary glands got even bigger rush when I grabbed soup spoon and bowl poured this lushish nectar out. Juicy moist chicken al dente corkscrew pasta noodles that had absorbed the layers of broth enriched by carrots, onions, celery, thyme and I think hint of rosemary but I've been using rosemary steam for my allergies so who knows but thus soup was something I would have made for my sons on chilly day or recovering from some illness or kinda thing your Mom would have made for you. Needless to say just that was enough the warmth of soup helped me in so many ways and was catalyst to making the meds work, so it was lights out TAPS! My slumber was over because I was finally really hungry the elixir of chicken soup worked its magic my appetite was back so let's dive into the Italian sub I ordered with ginger ale. Unwrapping my sub many hours later I was pleasantly surprised by their own fresh pickles extreme yummy for my tummy feeling made me dive into this sub. Man it reminded me of being in corner spots in Manhattan true Italian sandwich tastes the bread was just right seasonings on point meat sliced just right not chucks nor thin and all layers of fresh lettuce tomatoes spices were the BADABING! GOTTA GO BUT IM TELLING U THIS WUZ NO FAGAZZI experience so hope my in person experience is even more memorable. buonanotte amici! read more

Friendly and helpful staff. It wasn't busy when I went in. The menu on the board seems a little duplicative to me. I went with the Reuben on the traditional dark rye and a side of pasta salad (not included with your order). Seems a little pricey for a sandwich ($12), but I'd get it again. read more

The staff was welcoming and pleasant. I enjoyed lunch here on Monday afternoon. I enjoyed the turkey sub with bacon on white submarine bread. Very good. This sub was loaded with turkey deli meat and I added lettuce, tomatoes and banana pepper. Very good! My only suggestion is to mark the subs so that we can tell them apart without having to open them both up. I had onions and peppers and my Mom didn't. It was difficult determining which was which. The paper isn't see through. Besides that, everything was good. read more

First time giving Brooklyn Pickle a try! I've had it on my radar ever since seeing a coworker's lunch arrive via DoorDash a few days prior. I decided to order online to avoid the in-store lunch rush and wait. Easy online ordering through their website. There were so good many options and it was very hard to choose, but I ended up going with the Italian Sub with Italian tomatoes, chips, tea, and jumbo cookie. Although the online ordering system never notified me that my order was ready, I arrived at the "estimated" time and it was all packed up and ready to go. The staff were all very busy...you could tell they were recovering from a big lunch rush...but I was greeted and assisted right away nevertheless. My Sandwich was delicious! It was prepared exactly as ordered with the condiments I ordered piled on just right. The bottled blackberry tea was as expected and the jumbo cookie was SO GOOD. I was very underwhelmed by the chips. They weren't very flavorful...almost tasted stale...but they were not expired, so I'm not sure what happened there...but it was a bummer. All in all...the service and food were great and I will definitely be back, when I'm in the area. read more

First time trying this place out through Offline and they were kind of a disappointment. It definitely wasn't better than Jersey Mike's and it was like a step above Jimmy John's. The sandwich maker (lady) didn't practice good cleaning hygiene when prepping my sandwich and also the sandwich itself was pretty bland. It was a lot of workers in there at 2:15 on Monday with barely any customers. It's just not a sandwich place I would prefer to go to. read more

Went there for the first time today. Ordered turkey on a sub roll with all the usual fixins. I fail to understand why they would put such a generous quantiy of delicious ingredients on a sub roll with all the texture of Wonder Bread. It was like an oversized hot dog bun! Y'all can surely do better than that. I'll stick to Jersey MIke's. read more

So many good things to say. The portions are HUGE! The food was so TASTY! There are some fun sides. Everyone in my group loved their sandwiches. The only small critique I'd have is that I can't have leftovers because of the fact the bread gets a little soggy from the sauces, toppings etc. read more

Brooklyn Pickle - Half Italian sub was very tasty. I recommend! - Sandwiches Near Me - Raleigh, North Carolina

Tried for the first time. It's a smallish shop, but there are a few tables & counter spaces. The woman who made my sandwich was friendly and quick. I thought $8.75 was high for just half a sandwich, but it was absolutely stuffed! Bread was lovely and soft, corned beef was fantastic, not salty or wet like some deli food! And the pickle - YUM! I will go out of my way to visit more often. read more

Really disappointing. The Reuben was most definitely NOT a traditional Reuben. A tiny bit of sauerkraut. Plus the cashier or whatever she was asked off I wanted LETTUCE AND TOMATO????? Good god. Knish was good but microwaved. Horrific. The $6.50 (!!) matzo ball soup was chicken broth, no chicken, one hard matzo ball. Disgusting. Won't be back. Something tells me they won't be around long either. read more

Ordered a Pastrami Sandwhich and a Roast Beef Sub for $30 total. The kid that served me decided to only give me a sprinkle of lettuce and onion and 2 each of provolone and tomato slices on a 12 foot sub. Also poor kid didn't know how to make a half turkey, half roast beef sub. He put them on opposite sides. After eating the sandwiches, you could tell the bread on the sub is not fresh like it's store bought or something and the meats are highly processed. Overall super dry and bland. Dont recommend at all. read more

Brooklyn Pickle - Roast Beef Sub - Sandwiches Near Me - Raleigh, North Carolina

Great food every time I go there. Consistent great sandwiches. I do agree with the other reviewers that the pricing is somewhat high, especially with nothing being included, it would be nice if they had an option to include a side and drink that wasn't an extra $5.50. Maybe $3 and you get a pasta salad side and drink? Or a sandwich combo? Also, I really wanted a larger side of the pasta salad and there isn't an option for a pint or a pound, at least not according to the workers last night. read more

This is definitely not a NYC deli. Think more upstate NY. If you want NY style food it may work for you. The positives are the menu. Traditional staples. A copy of the menu was added in my photos. Tastewise items were average to good. The pickles were dill. I was expecting half sour and sour garlic pickles. The knish was good but microwaved versus grilled or fried was less than ideal. Nothing beats a Black Cherry soda. Loved the bread selection and enjoyed a half size chicken salad sandwich. It was plentiful. No blintzes nor potato pancakes on the menu. Finding a parking spot at lunchtime was challenging. read more

Another new chain for the Triangle, Brooklyn Pickle hails from Syracuse NY and is serving up fresh sandwiches, salads, and other deli items. The location on Lake Boone Trail is in the busy Marketplace at Lake Boone so parking may be tough! Inside, the space is long and narrow with an extended counter where your sandwich is made. The usual pastrami, corned beef, chicken salads are on the menu along with subs. The sandwiches I tried were super fresh with a nice sturdy bread that can stand up to all the fillings in the over-stuffed sandwiches. Whole sandwiches are in the $12 to $15 range bare (plus pickles) which is fine for the quality and portion size. So rock on Brooklyn Pickle! Love having another deli option in the Oak City... read more

Great deli with super friendly staff. Bread and all the ingredients were very fresh. Loved that they had a variety of chips to go with our choices and that they had Dr Brown sodas. They had a deli fridge stocked full off salads, desserts, and of course pickles. The chili was good but was a basic chili. The chefs special for the day was a Neptune's Gumbo which I was blown away by. It had huge chunks shrimp, clams, and veggies: I could have eaten this all day it was so good. The banana pudding was a typical pudding but still good. The reason I did not give this place a 5 because of the Cuban. My husband is Cuban and is very particular about the sandwich. They did not have Cuban bread so the sandwich was made on a super soft (because it was so fresh-which normally is great for sandwiches, but not for Cubans) sub roll. They also did not have any way to press the sandwich, which is another downer. They were accommodating in mixing the may and mustard together, but they could only put the sandwich in the sandwich toaster to get it hot and melt the cheese. Other then the Cuban issues the restaurant was very clean, including the bathrooms, and very laid back environment. read more

Nice service though they're still figuring out their workflow. A little on the pricey side but that's the trend post-covid. My reuben was solid. Not my favorite in the area but better than many. read more

Came here today for lunch. I got a 1/2 BLT and a side order of the homemade potato salad. My husband got the 1/2 Cuban with a side of pasta salad. Both were really excellent and we can't wait to come back. We noticed the employees kept the prep area very clean and changed their gloves frequently which we appreciate. read more

After visiting most deli sandwich places in the Raleigh region the last few years, I was pleasantly surprised to find Brooklyn Pickle. Simply, they get it right! Had lunch today there, a delicious Reuben and knowing what an excellent Reuben is, I was very impressed. The whole was huge, a half will satisfy all but the those who haven't eaten the past few days. The bread fresh, the quality corned beef thin-sliced and piled high, the sauerkraut just right, the pickles so yum...Service was quick and on point in this clean and organized environment. After mostly settling for just OK Reubens and other sandwiches in the Raleigh area, Brooklyn Pickle has figured it out at fair prices. Just go! read more

I tried Brookyln Pickle two times over a weekend as it it very close to Rex Hospital where I was visiting an acquaintance. For my first visit, I tried the corn beef. If you enjoy flavorless food, it was a home run. The ingredients for my sandwich were obviously fresh, but it had no taste. After reading that the corn beef was very lean which results in a different flavor profile than typical corn beef, I came back the next day and tried the pastrami. Unfortunately, it was basically the same flavorless story as the corn beef, although I did taste the Russian dressing this time. Portion sizes for both sandwiches were reasonable for the price charged, especially given the serving size of the protein. On both visits, the service was polite and efficient. Beverages are served in bottles and there are chips available on the main counter as are a variety of desserts. The location is very clean and offers exactly the sort of semi-upscale chain restaurant feel befitting its location. Prices were about what I'd expect and of course they hit you up for a tip. All in all, I think Brooklyn Pickle delivered the product they intended to deliver with the expected overall experience, but I just didn't enjoy the food. I wouldn't avoid Brooklyn Pickle in the future, but I can't imagine seeking it out again. read more

A nice sandwich shop, good addition to Raleigh's restaurant scene. 3 stars for a couple of reasons, the sub rolls (or at least my sub roll) wasn't very fresh. The flavor of the roll was odd, and it was very crumbly the way one or two day old bread is. Also, they have a "Cuban" sandwich but no sandwich press, so it's a pork meat sandwich with Swiss cheese. The Brooklyn special on dark rye was good, the bread was very good. Overall a nice place, they're just getting the operation going, have to come back in a few months and revisit it. read more

Just tried this place for the first time. I ordered a pick up order for 3:15PM. When I arrived I gave my first name and last initial. The workers seemed a little bit confused however they had made my order earlier in the day and stored it in the fridge. No big deal, they once we confirmed it was a pre order they knew what it is. When I got home I tried the sandwich. It was good, a lot bigger than I thought. I was disappointed because I ordered pasta salad and instead got potato salad. I don't really care for potato salad. I don't have time to go back over there as I picked up the food on my lunch break. I just wish my order was correct read more

I lived in Virginia for 7 years, and 3 years ago, we lost the one amazing Jewish deli in the whole Hampton Roads region. As a new resident of Raleigh, I'm on a mission to find a great deli here! And my travels took me to Brooklyn Pickle, only a few minutes from where I live and work. The ordering process was confusing; I was not sure what side of the line to step to. But I went with the BP Special sandwich: pastrami, corned beef, Swiss cheese, and Russian dressing; I had them add some brown mustard and I opted for light rye instead of dark rye since I like the caraway seeds. They have a lot of other free topping options, if the customer desires. The portion size of meat was not quite what you might get at a NY deli but it was still higher than the bread, which is key. Good quality meat as well. It did come with a few pickle chips, but you can purchase additional pickles too. Of course, they have Dr. Brown's soda, a non-negotiable. Good luck with the parking around lunch time, it's not the easiest spot! But it was a good deli and worth returning to. Maybe not a home run, but certainly a solid double. read more

Placed a order thru Grub Hub - I'm from Jersey was hoping to get at least a taste of missed home food NOT THEE case ! Bread was like eating a dish sponge and the roast beef was literally like light pink rubber so disappointed in everything ! Never again I would give zero stars if we could read more

Good food. Bad service Went last night for a quick bite. For some reason the young black guy was in a mood being discourteous and rude; making jokes and laughing while i was trying to make my order. His long hair I'm sure was getting in all of the food. Rather nasty but i guess he didn't have a hat. I like the food but there are other places. Oh well read more

The pastrami is supposed to be house made, and it may be, but they used top round rather than brisket. Tasted good, but not quite what I was hoping for. Hate to rate a restaurant on one thing. But this was my experience. read more

Really good matzo ball soup. Potato knish was ok, not the best I've ever had but still satisfy the craving. I would definitely go back.

Delicious sandwiches--the whole fam has enjoyed multiple times now! I love the Brooklyn Pickle Special sandwich--great bread and Russian dressing. The giant subs also have fantastic bread. Husband said he likes more than Jersey Mike's! 4yo and 2yo enjoyed the turkey sandwich as well. We'll definitely be back, probably worked into the routine! Staff was very nice, service was quick, and a cool vibe of the shop. read more

Busy place with real deli food! Great moist corned beef on dark rye sandwich! Potato salad and potato knish were also quite good.

We went to the Brooklyn Pickle for dinner looking forward to a new NY deli in Raleigh. The Brooklyn Pickle counter could benefit from simple signage... order here ... pay here. The sign please wait for server led me to believe someone was going to take me to a table or invite me to the counter. Instead I walked up to the counter and asked am I supposed to order here? One of employees proceeded to take our order. We ordered Reuben and Pastrami sandwiches. The pastrami tasted bland like a processed deli counter sliced meat. My wife thought the Reuben tasted pretty good. The amount of pastrami and corned beef was good and the light rye was good. We would prefer our sandwiches to come with pickle spears instead of pickle slices. I might try some other menu items but I'll pass on the traditional pastrami sandwich. read more

Lived in Brooklyn for 5 years, was so excited to try this! Pretty let down with the bland sandwiches (tried 2 different ones), and high price. Jersey Mikes has better bread, and more flavor for less $. read more

Got a combination, pastrami and corned beef sandwich. The meat is tasteless and the pickles are ordinary. If you want coleslaw on your sandwich you have to buy a side container. Bread was fresh and the portion was good. They should change the name to Syracuse Sandwich Shop with a side of pickle chips and not show a whole pickle on their website. read more

I ordered a whole sub and only received a half via DoorDash, but I'm giving a 5 star rating because of the taste. I ordered the ham and cheese sub, toasted, LTM, oil/vinegar, and oregano. I was attempting to replicate a ham and cheese cosmo that I used to get when I lived in PA as a kid. Let me tell you... I was transported! It made me so happy that I was willing to forgive the mistake. I will be getting this again in person so that I can enjoy it while it's still warm! read more
