Pickles are great, one of my favorite sour pickles, but their Blood Mary mix is what keeps me coming back. It has become a staple to my quarantine day drinking Saturday and Sunday. read more

This is one of my favorite pickle stands in NYC. Their pickles are fresh and authentic and they stay good for months in the fridge. I always get the jalapeño pickles, you can't find it anywhere else. Today I tried their kosher dill for the first time, it is recommended. For me, it is hard to catch them open so I think it's important to post their accurate operation hours. This location is open: Every other Mondays Tues 12pm-7pm Wed 12pm-7pm Thurs 12pm-7pm Fri 12pm-7pm Sat Closed Sun Closed read more

I hate to have to write this review, but it seems I was not able to get a resolution through emailing the customer service contact on their website. I attended the NJ veg fest a couple weeks ago where I purchased 3 products from this vendor. 2 salsa and 1 cucumber salad. I heard a huge explosion coming from my fridge this week and I found that 1 of the salsa containers exploded and the other container had expanded and looked like it was about to explode too. I've purchased salsas and pickles from other local vendors before and have never had this happen. This is extremely dangerous and made a huge mess. These should be packaged in different containers if these are known to explode. The containers weren't even open yet. I contacted the business owner for a refund on the 2 salsas considering the experience and they are refusing to provide a refund for the salsa and are insisting it is still safe to eat after exploding. This is extremely unprofessional and I hope to warn others before purchasing from this vendor. read more

The Quick: A somewhat random Pickle stand under a colorful tent. Plenty of options with the wide range of flavors. Sampling is encouraged. You can always get a mix. The Details: Although I'm not always quite sure of the sanitary nature of these pickles, they sure are delicious. If you can get past these open tubs of pickles on the dirty streets of Manhattan, you will be rewarded with pickled goodness. Everything from their dill, to their spicy, to their bloody Mary mix is phenomenal. The staff are always very cool and let you sample multiple options. The Damage: ~ $7 for a jumbo tub, $1 for a large pickle, and other options in between read more

On certain days of the week, you might have noticed this temporary pickle stand by the cross street of Carmine Street and Sixth Ave. According to the workers there manning the pickle barrels, they are there every Tuesday to Friday and closes around 7pm although it might be later if business is good. Horman's Best Pickles makes their own pickles. Outside of the traditional sour and half sours, which are very good and have a snap to them, they carry some more unusual flavors that are very much worth trying. The spicy pickle, which is a common stable of pickle places that makes their own in house pickles, are pretty good although it is a step below what could be found at Pickle Guys and the former Guss Pickles, now known as Clinton Hill Pickles. Nicely spicy, slightly sour, the two opposing flavors just missed the perfect harmony inherit at the places I just mentioned. There are two things that are very worth mentioning at this pickle stand. The first is their radish pickles as mentioned by other reviewers. Along with the sourness of a good pickle, this version adds a radish flavor plus the slight sharpness and bite found in them. The second one is even more unusual. The honey mustard pickle. This is one of their premium pickles which only comes in circular sandwich ready slices. This pickle comes bathed in a thick honey mustard sauce. It's both sweet and sour at the same time. Everyone that sampled this loved it and a few ended up buying a pint of their own. If you are hesitant about my suggestions, don't be too shy to ask them for samples first. The friendly workers would be more than happy to give out small pieces to try. You could buy the regular pickles for $1 a pickle, speared in a stick like a lollipop. This does not apply to their premium pickles since they come only in slices. You could also buy them in quarts or pints. read more

Horman's Best Pickles - NoHo - Honey and Mustard Pickles - Specialty Food Near Me - New York, New York

I believe this pickle stand is only running through Thanksgiving, but until its season ends, I'm going to be a frequent customer. There is a great selection: Honey Mustard, Spicy Sour (personal favorite), New Dill, Kosher Dill, Horseradish, Bread and Butter, Red Flannel, Sour, Hot Cherry Peppers, and Pickled Tomatoes. I think they are open Wednesday through Friday. I walk by here on my way to work and it is so difficult not to stop by. The guys running the stand are friendly, great to have a conversation with, and answer all the questions you may have. I'm not a "pickle" fan by any stretch, but these are too good not to get. It is $1 for 1 pickle, $5 for a pint, and $7 for a quart - and they will fill the containers to the top. You can also taste anything you are interested in for free. The quality is great, the price is great, and my only gripe is that there aren't more locations near me (I believe this is the only location in Manhattan). read more

Pickles have long been one of my favorite snacks, probably ever since the age of four. I've eaten a lot of pickles in my lifetime. At age 7, I had my first New York pickle - curbside at Guss' Pickles on my first-ever trip to New York with my mom. Since moving to New York a few years ago, I've eaten more pickles than ever before. I've tried all of the local, "artisan" pickles (McClure's, Brooklyn Brine, etc.), and these are hands down - HANDS DOWN - the best pickles I've ever had in New York or anywhere else. No other pickle I've ever tried has had as much flavor as these bad boys - and they offer many different varieties, so pickle lovers of all types can find something that tickles their fancy (dill, kosher dill, bread & butter, cajun, etc.). Personally, I go for the Spicy Sour pickles - they actually have a legitimate kick. Like, heavy breathing, sweat-inducing heat. These are not weak pickles. I go through a large container of Horman's Best Pickles every 1.5 to 2 weeks. Thankfully, they have a tent at the LIC Flea (and perhaps also the Astoria Flea) so I don't have to trek all the way to NoHo every other week. And because these have ruined all other pickles for me, I just have to have my Horman's! read more

OK so, I totally discovered these pickles by accident... and I will say that this is the best tasting accident that I've ever had... I walked through a random park in Greenpoint and the farmer's market was there. I've LOVED pickles, olives, lemons and all things sour/tangy etc. since I was a kid so it was a no brainer to get a pickle...once I tasted them I had to get two pints: Spicy Sour and Cajun Sweet. While they are both good, Oh My Goshhh that Cajun Sweet is heaven. So much so that I finished the pint in less than 24 hours... I just contacted the owner Nick to see where they will be this week so that I can get a quart (and my fix)! I just can't go without these now that I have them in my life! UPDATE: As mentioned above, I lovedddd the Cajun Sweet pickles. So much so that I was determined to find them again. After leaving multiple comments on the owner's IG to ask where they'd be set-up in the city (and being ignored), I decided to just order the pickles off of their site. Only problem with that is that they only sell pickles by the gallon online ($45+$20 shipping). So I had to pay $65 on pickles?! Shipping was actually pretty slow. But, I was so excited to have my pickles when they finally arrived. Packed neatly in a heavy plastic jar. Pickles taste just as they did when I tasted them that first time in the park. read more

Love these pickles. Our personal favorites are the mustard spicy ones. Even though I no longer live in the neighborhood, I'll actually stop here if we have guests that want to try an NYC pickle. I think the days they are open may be incorrectly listed on yelp. I think they are actually open M,W,F. Definitely worth a visit! read more

If the unassuming pickle ever makes a come back on the dishes of the many lunches served all across America, or in NYC to be specific, Horman's has to have played a part. Since my pickle purchase a few weeks ago, every lunch that eat out, I'm looking for a pickle to accompany it. I almost walked right past the covered street side stand, the van full of the salted/cured cucumbers parked right behind, tipped me off. These very nice guys sell about fifteen variations of the crunchy hand held vegetable. Horman's does not have poor Pontoffel's at the helm at the pickle factory, as every bite is crunchy and packed full of flavor. (Lorax reference) Try a few samples as the workers are all too happy to give them out. Although marginally more expensive than the deli pickles, the freshness and snap crunch is undeniable delicious and perfect to have with a homemade Dagwood sandwich. read more

My husband and I stumbled upon Norman's Best Pickles at a farmers market yesterday. We love pickles and these do not disappoint! Frank was so kind and let us sample the spicy which are true to their word! My favorite was the dill!!! If you are a pickle fan, you must stop when you see this stand! read more

In the words of Snooki - "I never knew how much I missed pickles and pickle juice. It's like, an overwhelming feeling that I can't even explain." Yup, that's how I felt when I sampled these at the LIC Flea. Sampled the jalapeno, spicy sour, kosher dill and sour. All were delicious but my favorite was spicy sour. A mix of both my favorite tastes combined into one! Even went a little overboard and bought a $7 16 oz of spicy sour pickles for myself. Nobody else eats them in my household either. read more

Great kosher dills, horseradish, mushrooms, and tomatoes are the best!! The full sours fall short, not good at all. The Bloody Mary mix is off the charts amazing. read more

I have tried their pickles on two occasions at the Rockville Farmers market. Both times we purchased the pickled green beans. The first time they were delicious and crunchy. Two weeks later I returned and got a larger batch, only to be disappointed at the inconsistency in quality. This time they were soggy, soft and tasted as if they'd come out of a can. If I ever come back, I will have to ask for a sample each time due to the inconsistency in quality. The other pickles I sampled were only decent- nothing I'd prefer over your run of the mill canned pickles. read more

Where are you guys, I have been looking for you but you are no longer on the carmine 6th corner. Where can I find you in manhattan, please I am desperate for those beautiful mustard pickles. HELP! read more

Very nice! I've always preferred salty and savory snacks, over sweets. At this point, I would consider myself to be somewhat of a pickle connoisseur and Horman's Best hit the spot! The jalapeno ones are great- I can tell they use fresh chilies. My friend is eating the Cajun Sweet Chips and said they would compliment any sandwich. There are a few more varieties to try, but from a west coast pickle lover, thanks for a crunchy and well-made treat! read more

Best pickles I've ever had! They just came back to the Greenpoint Farmers Market. I was there first thing, stocking up. The pickles are amazing and the customer service is an added bonus. read more

Horseradish pickles=EPIC. If, like me, you have a passion for pickles and absolutely love horseradish, you will love these pickles. But Horman's also offers a ton of other flavors as well. Check it out--the nice guys behind the pickle stand will always let you sample. Speaking of--the guys who work this pickle stand are SO NICE. Sometimes I think they might be a little stoned, but wouldn't you be, too, if you worked at a pickle stand? Once, I just wanted to buy a single pickle on a stick (yes, they sell those) but didn't have a dollar, so they just gave it to me for free. Another time, a coworker of mine who happened to be pregnant went to buy a pint of pickles, and they upgraded her to a quart for free, calling it "the pregnant lady discount." Delicious pickles, cheap prices, friendly service. Can't beat it! read more

Some of the best pickles I've had in my life. The brown mustard pickles are my favorite. The Bloody Mary mix is to die for too!!!

I found these guys at the Rosendale Intl Picklefest last weekend. I feel like the guy who wakes up one day and realizes the grin next door is the one for him. I can't believe they've been my backyard all along. I LOVE PICKLES! But I especially love hot yet flavorful pickles; Garlic, horseradish, unique hot peppers, mustard, etc. Well Horman's has them all. The horseradish are awesome. All the crunchiness of a New, the deep rich flavor like a sour, but its horseradish, full throttle horseradish. Equally good, and proclaimed the best pickle ever by my mustard aficionado colleague who views all foods as a mustard delivery device, are the brown mustards. You've never had anything like them. They've captured the rich spicy vinegary mustard flavor of a half sour slathered in Goulden's brown. Its incredible! Now that I know these guys are just down in the village I'm definitely making them a regular stop in my food shopping trips. read more

I ordered horseradish,mustard,kosher,and sour spicy pickles online. I received my order In two days. The pickles were tasty and crunchy, beyond my expectations. The Sour Spicy pickles did have a strange taste, but every ones taste buds are different. I honestly can finish these pickles in a week, there flavor is on point. The only thing I wished id that my jars had a label to better identify the pickles and so that I can take a picture of the jars and share with friends and family. The pickles are tasty so give it a try. read more

Very knowledgeable. Great staff. Best prices around. I crave these pickles! Try the spicy sour, it wont leave you disappointed.

Heard them on the radio decided to order. Bought 3 jars . One broke in transit. But the 2 jars i had were amazing. Also Bought the 2 gallon brine which cuts my seasonal gifts time in half . Great product. My 2nd order was shipped even better than the last . I will be a lifetime customer read more

Horman's really are the BEST pickles with the best costumer service too! I regularly buy Horman's red flannel and sweet and cajon pickles at the local farmers market in my town. I make sure to stock up for the months when the farmers market is closed, the pickles will keep just fine in your fridge. Doug, the guy behind the stand, is always awesome and ready to give me advice on all the different types of pickles they have to offer. And a taste! As a big pickle person.... I definitely recommend trying Horman's pickles ASAP! Jessie-RVC, NY read more

I ask to have the Sour pckles mixed....done every week before...for me and other customers........Insisted..rude...I was ""Wrong "" ....I called a few people to confirm, who all agreed w/me.....When I ask him if he was calling me a liar and others stopped to listin....He still reused my request...I emailed him and got a returned mail..not deliverable....then called...He did return the call but said.....***Whatever************ and hung up......... As a professional who served and liked enjoyed the pickles...........myself and others will not ever go again ................ Kid had no respect for me and I DO NOt recommend you spend money with someone who is so irresposible !!!!!!! read more

Horman's pickles can now be found at LIC Flea!! Not only are these the best tasting pickles I've ever had, but they are also the juiciest!! Lots of samples offered and the Bloody Mary mix is a must-have! This is a pregnant woman's dream come true! (At least, THIS pregnant woman's dream) As far as the guys being friendly, I totally agree if you are talking about the ones in the city or over at LIC Flea. But the dude at Brooklyn Pier couldn't care less about, well, anything. Good thing I'm there for the pickles and not his entertainment or hospitality. Dude can go eat a pickle for all that I care ;) just saying. read more

OMG.. I JUST GOT HERE WITH MY CO WORKERS and they were gone. I am really upset. I was looking forward to getting my honey mustard pickels..

Never know when they're open. I went three times, one in bad weather and two in beautiful weathers, but they were never there. And I go according to their hours of operation on Yelp. I even tried calling them on the number I found on their website, www.bitpickle.com and it says "this number is not accepting calls." I never know when they're open. Seems like never to me. read more

The best pickles in my opinion! I get the full sour ones and they never disappoint. Skip the others and give them a try! There's a pickle place right around the corner at a farmers market near me but I trek all the way to the village for Hormans! read more

poor guy at the stand, he's out in the freezing cold in February selling pickles. And despite that he was still amicable and helpful. The guy was super generous with his samples. We ended up with two pints. One horseradish pickle that had a zing to it, and one of the sour and spicy. Both are good. I happen to not be as much of a sweet pickle person, so didn't get any other ones from the row in the back, but a couple that we did taste were good...Long live pickles! read more

These are by far the best pickles I've had, and they have some great flavors. The first time i had these was at the Beer, Bourbon, and BBQ fest, and fell in love with their bread and butter pickles. Since then i've gone back to their stand and got to try out a few other flavors, all amazing. They really try hard to fit as many pickles as they can in jar they give you. The stand is also in a very convenient location, near like 7 subway lines. read more

Amazing. So glad I no longer have to go to the LES to get the picklefix. Dude is super friendly and helpful. Wish he was there on weekends, as I always forget to go during the week. read more

I had bought the Groupon (2 quarts for $7, what a good deal) for this place and I finally made it to their corner today. I was recommended the horseradish, and it was amaaaazing. Crunchy, sour and with a serious kick to the tongue. I'll be back for sure; can't wait to try out their other flavors. read more

Thanks for keeping my home stocked with the best cucumber and okra pickles. I seek you out whenever possible.

Oooooh these pickles were delicious! I got sour and spicy sour and yum yum yum! Such great pickles- go pick some up!

I loved the way they treated me. held conversation with me and they even recommended things for my raw food diet. i cant wait to go back cause I thought it was cool. its a group of friends having fun and making money while still being great people. The pickles were so amazing I ate a quart in a day and a half. I gave one to my friend yesterday and he finished it. will be making Multiple trips to these guys read more

Try the mustard pickles -- they're delicious. You'll want to save the mustard juice for salad dressing, deviled eggs, or just straight up drinking! read more

The pickles are amazing. Having these on my sandwich makes my lunch 10x better. The honey mustard is my go to but I also get the sweet Cajun whenever I can. I wish they had a storefront so that I do not have to go track them down or order online. That's my one issue with them (why they lost a star), I don't want to order online something form 10 miles away, but who is free during the day to go to a farmers market? They should sell to the local grocery stores. read more

Found these guys at picklefest 2012 and was pleasantly surprised at their brown mustard pickle. They were super generous with samples and obviously proud of their product. Try the horseradish, too! read more

I get cravings for bread and butter pickles that can put an entire pediatric unit of pregnant women to shame. On a recent run, I've eaten 17 jars of them for 17 weeks straight. And I have to say that Horman's makes amazing bread and butter pickles, both the regular and the Red Flannel. I've had their pickles 3 times and everytime I go by, I yearn for them. So why the 1 star? Well, if the raings could be for the pickles only, Horman's would get 5 stars. But the 1 star is for hygiene. There have been so many times I've made a beeline for this stand and then turned away in disgust when I saw how the workers, with their latex gloves, would handle money and then fish in the barrels for pickles, still wearing those gloves. One time one of the dudes wore a glove with holes at the fingertips. Are the pickles here extraordinary? Sure. Is the stand run by super friendly hipsters? Sure. Can they use a lesson in hygiene? Big time. Please, Horman, educate your workers on the health code. Then, I would enthusiastically spend a portion of my weekly paycheck on your pickles. read more
