Jacob's Pickles - Comfort Food Near Me - New York, New York

Our server was super nice and when I asked him his favorite items on the menu he did us right. We started with the pickle chips which turned out to be our favorite dish of the night. Instead of slices of battered bread and butter pickles, Jacob's uses long spears of their hot and sours, and serves them with a slightly spicy aioli. They were perfection. Our family of two adults and two teens also shared the honey fried chicken sando on a biscuit. As our server had warned, it's enough for two. The chicken was tasty and fried just right. I would have preferred not to have a pool of honey on the plate since it made the biscuit a little soggy. And honestly it would have been nice if the kitchen could have cut the sandwich into halves (or actually quarters for the way we were sharing) so we wouldn't have to do so much fried chicken sando surgery. I didn't have high hopes for the fried chicken and French toast my family wanted, especially after the syrup came on top instead of the side as we requested. No matter. The chicken again was really good and the syrup worked. The French toast was exceptional and made with challah. We were so full we couldn't get dessert. I had actually chosen this location so we could go to Milk Bar or Jacob's biscuit bread pudding. We waddled our way home. Jacob's is now in the exclusive pantheon of restaurants we go to when in New York. In fact, we liked this place so much I suggested returning the following night to try the stuff that sounded good that we didn't get to - in particular, the fried green tomatoes and the deviled eggs. We really won out the evening we ate at Jacob's Pickles. Not only was the food great, we were able to eat indoors RIGHT next to the large open door. Rarely does a restaurant have a table with a set-up like that, and as a family who is only eating outdoors to stay COVID safe we were very appreciative. Especially so since it was BRUTALLY hot outside (the high that day was 98) so eating outdoors would have been miserable, especially after walking several blocks from the subway. The AC ended up dripping on us (we speculated it was condensation) at our table by the front door so we moved to another table a little farther inside. We got dripped on there as well. There was a sign up that they are changing locations. We wondered if this could be why. read more

The portions were really large, which is wonderful. The burger was very decadent and delicious overwhelming with onions. Very very happy. The service was really good. They kept on checking on us. It was really great. The energy/ ambiance of the place was super fun young cool highly recommend an omelette which is delicious also, the chicken, hot honey chicken, and the Burger. Drinks were good! read more

First time at Jacob's Pickles for Mother's Day brunch and we had such a great experience! Jordan was an awesome server! She's super friendly, welcoming, attentive, and was happy to answer all our questions. We loved the pickle lemonade, the pickle flight, the honey chicken biscuits, and even tried picklebacks with their awesome pickle brine. Such a fun vibe and definitely somewhere we'll be coming back to! read more

I was excited to try this place out after hearing all the hype so we made Sunday brunch plans. This place fills up so highly recommend getting a reservation. Now while the vibes and the atmosphere are so lively, I hate to say it but the food was just mid and we tried a lot of items. I will say the standouts were the pickle flights and the fried pickles. The rest were just under seasoned and not very favorable. Also as a southern girl transplanted into NYC, my comfort food expectations are high. I will say, the service was quick and the staff so kind. We enjoyed catching up with friends here but the food just missed the mark for us. read more

at first glance, I saw the menu and thought that this was just gonna be another overpriced New York spot - I am now understanding the prices are the way they are due to the serving sizes! we ordered three dishes and all of them match the price tag in size - of course the biscuits and gravy was incredible at the southern style restaurant. three piping hot, soft crumbly biscuits, just soaking in pounds of gravy that had endless chunks of sausage all throughout. despite the mounds of gravy, they maintained their shape and integrity - the egg sandwiches are definitely not the kind of sandwiches you can eat with your hands. they come in a hot skillet and require a fork. or you might end up with half of it on your lap. I was so pleasantly surprised that there were TWOOO big patties of sausage with the sandwich. the eggs were insanely fluffy and just coated in a layer of sharp cheese. gorgeous. - the western omelette was certainly a bold choice because not really a southern option, but it was devoured nonetheless. the onions in it were especially a win! just cooked so well and so flavorful. there was a slight kicked from potatoes that made them stand out. - as for ambience this is their new location. it is absolutely giant and so well lit with so much natural light. there are probably hundreds of seats and the staff are so attentive and the food comes out so quickly! great for groups of all sizes read more

This place had my attention with pickles & biscuits! We enjoyed a quick breakfast here before walking the Brooklyn bridge. We were there at 9am Sunday morning and didn't have to wait. The service and food were fantastic. The shredded cheese in the dish took me by surprise but the server did warn me that it was an open skillet. The biscuit was delicious and the pickles were great! The bathroom was a bit too open for me, I would prefer a door w/no window (it was covered with a film but you could see shapes). I think they are moving locations, so maybe that will change. read more

This is base on a 2021 review here ! I ordered the mushroom gravy chicken over a side grits . And had a delicious margarita. She had a manhattan straight up and a sausage egg and cheese biscuit w/ it ....we sat outside since it was still covid , so we were sat like 7 tables away from the restaurant! The service wasn't as bad ! It's just I wish the cheese was heated over our food so it could melt better! But it wasn't bad BACK THEN read more

If a place was ever made for me this would be the one. Not only do I love beer, pickles, and biscuits, I also love chicken. This place has all that with more than worth it servings and southern flavors. As someone from the south, I can't recommend this place enough. Seasonal Apple Pie Biscuit 3.5 of 5 Biscuit iitself is good but doesn't stand out with the apple pie flavor. It absolutely needs the maple butter to complete the dish. Coop Platter 5 of 5 For quality and quantity get this Platter. Each item is delicious even for a regular breakfast. Ask for a side of sausage gravy and strawberry jam with it for the great biscuit. Service is very fast and friendly as well. At least on a Friday morning. read more

I love Jacob's pickles. Definitely a highlight in the UWS. Been here numerous times and always a hit. My favorite is the honey chicken & pickles but I've tried their meatloaf, Buffalo Mac & Cheese, pickle flights, and more and everything is solid. Definitely try their pickle flight if it's your first time. We also got the jalapeño cornbread for the first time recently and it was really good. Prices are unbeatable too, super unaffordable for huge portion sizes. Service is always good too. Make sure you book a reservation though for the weekends. Definitely recommend this place! read more

I've been to Jacob's pickles many times. It's always an amazing time - be careful on the weekends because of how busy it gets. The pickles are fantastic as an appetizer. The cornbread is delicious and buttery, extra tasty with a little hot sauce. The southern blt is my go to order. It is so delicious, there's so much flavor in every bite. Drinks are also amazing. Really can't go wrong here. Staff is also helpful and friendly. Check out the other spots in the Jacobs Pickles family! read more

Jacob's Pickles is a family oriented restaurant we were celebrating a birthday. Our appetizers were the 6 Devil eggs which was creamy & seasoned, the Biscuit N Fixins were 2 nice sized fluffy & buttery, the Boneless chicken bites were savory & the Jumbo everything pretzel & dips was nice and soft freshly baked. We had the Smash Burgers (2 Original & 1 BBQ bacon) made to order of course with fries, sour pickles, from the butcher- Roasted Lemon Chicken with mashed potatoes & carrots was very good. The Drinks Jam Jar, Vodka lemonade & Columbus Cruiser hit the spot. The Mini Pie Trio made the day special. Everything was delicious. Our server Sam was great he was attentive to our every need he was polite & professional. The menu has a variety of meals to select from. Prices are reasonable. The atmosphere was calm and the music was aawesome selection of R&B 80's. I would recommend Jacob's Pickles and I would return again read more

Must try: Maple Chicken & Toast, Deviled Eggs, Jacob's Biscuit Beer and Jam Jar Cocktail! Why: We started with Deviled Eggs, which had a slice of pickle on top - yum! Loved the Maple Chicken & Toast! Huge platter with 3 fat slices of toast and 2 large pieces of buttermilk fried chicken. I washed it down with a refreshing Jacob's Pickles Biscuit Beer. My friend had the Jam Jar Cocktail and it looked so good I had to try as my dessert drink. Loved the strawberry infused gin with lemonade and slices of strawberry. Notes: Plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. We dined outdoors since the weather was perfect. Staff was awesome - super friendly, helpful, and attentive. Awesome dining experience! read more

5 stars for flavor and bringing comfort food to warm the runners' stomachs after a cold misty morning. We had the chicken and French toast, coop platter, special of the day French toast ( n bananas and chocolate chips), and a good cup of coffee. We were seated promptly on our reservation time, vibe is noisy, fun and casual in the neighborhood. A lot of their food is southern food inspired and they have gotten it down to a T! My only downside was that my shrimp and grits came out lukewarm like it has been sitting on the counter waiting to be taken. The consistency of the grits on top and on the side was like jelly. Towards the inside as I was eating the consistency got better. I haven't had grits that had that consistency at all and it took me aback. Good thing the inner part was good! Shrimp was generous and seasoned well, topped with bacon and the flavor of the cheesy grits was on point. Their French toast with banana and chocolate chips was OUT of this world! Amazing and simple dish. I found myself taking some from my friend LOL Chicken and French toast was a simple fare but filled with lots of flavor and the syrup was a deep amber that complemented the toast even if it was sweet already. Coffee is strong. coop platter was again, simple fare but really flavorful. Their home fries was seasoned well and had a kick to it! Would come back and recommend reservations! read more

I don't like to complain but this is the third time I go and the first two times everything was super good the person who served us the food was excellent but this last time not the girl we asked for more sodas for the children and she forgot we ordered everything well cooked and her meat was red my daughter tried to eat it but she didn't like it She asked me why we didn't tell her about the meat because she never came back she went to get the sodas and never came back we ordered burgers fries and she didn't even bring us sauces anything I had to stop to look for her because she never went to ask if everything was okay All the time we were there, she ignored us she just went to give us the bill to pay Terrible service, I don't think we'll go again. read more

I will say, bigger is not better. This new location lacks the feel and soul that the original location had. Ordered the southern blt chicken biscuit which is great, but the bacon that was served with it was literally paper thin. Don't say applewood smoke bacon on the menu and then deliver me some over the counter commercially available discount bacon strips on top. Was severely disappointed and most likely will not be coming back sad to say. Miss the old location, miss the old quality and miss old everything. They might have bit off more than they can chew with this new spot, if you were used to the old location this will be a big let down. read more

Came here for a Friday lunch without reservations; three of us were seated right away. The place was packed but we got lucky. Beautiful rustic and modern decor was well lit and pleasing to the eye. Place that one could not only enjoy for any casual meal but would enjoy coming to for a special event (not sure if this place would host private event but it would look great in pictures) Our server was helpful and friendly and made good recommendations. Our food came quickly and we never had to ask for anything other than the bill. Every dish we ordered was so delicious that we could not stop eating it. The salmon on the salmon salad was perfectly cooked (crispy on one side and tender and juicy on the inside). The fried chicken on the honey biscuit was perfectly fried with the chicken breast so moist and juicy). We ordered a flight of pickles veggies and each one was as good as the previous. The grits that were served with the chicken sandwich was very creamy and oh so buttery. For some reason we dipped our French fries in our grits (yes, you read right. We dipped our fries in our grits) and it was surprising yummy. Since the grits were so buttery, it made the fries taste like a baked potato. Everything was better than expected. We were not disappointed. Would definitely come again and do recommend. read more

It was OK. Service was fine, food taste was ok. We were excited to go here and try this place. For NYC and prices it should blow your taste buds out. This didn't do that, I mean it was OK not was we hoped. I usually give high scores, but I just can't on this one because it was just Ok. Would I recommend it ? (Nah) would I trash it ? (No not at all) Was I disappointed ? (Kind of ). Ambiance is great. The draught beer I ordered wasn't the beer I got, but is was still ok. I didn't want to deal with it so I drank it. Not impressed read more

I was surprised to not love my experience here! We went on a beautiful fall weekend and were seated within 15 minutes, which was great. Our food came quickly but the service itself was slow and we definitely felt like a nuisance to our server. We had to wait quite a while to get her attention for things like water, to-go boxes, etc. It was definitely busy so can't blame her but not an amazing experience. The food itself disappointed me, so sorry to say. The fried pickles were good, but both the skillet jalapeno cornbread and the French toast and chicken tasted pretty bland to me. There weren't many seasonings going on in the meal at all. I think this a great place for a classic, simple southern meal, but it wasn't groundbreaking food. Good price for what you get though! read more

We walked in and the noise was even louder than their other spot on Broadway. Strike one was we had to wait until the host finished her talk on the phone, no acknowledgement. Strike two was we were given menus but told we could not order. Strike three was we were told we couldn't get happy hour menus unless we sat at the bar. There were no seats available let alone a place to put your glass or plate. It seems like the whole place is tiled, with concrete floors, giving no relief to the deafening noise. Unless I had a group of badly behaved children, who would not be noticed, I would not go back read more

It was a Sunday morning and we came across Jacob's Pickles. We were seated immediately and were served by Raegan. My family felt comfortable in the environment which made me happy and Raegan played a role in that when she was helping me with my selection.

What a fun and unique place to eat in NY that is less frill and all about some good old fashion fried food With massive portions of everything I highly recommend either a big group or multiple visits! Make reservations is possible on the weekends because brunch would be fantastic. We came here before MJ on a Tuesday so it wasn't too packed The food comes out hot and ready with each order able to be shared. You can't go wrong with any fried chicken and if you have a big group get the poutine!! This place is epic and fun and a great time for a family in nyc read more

A cool place in NYC that my wife picked out. They had a lemon blueberry French toast special that my wife got and it definitely hit the spot for us.

Happened to be we had a breakfast with my friend in the Jacob's Pickles. We didn't make any reservations, because weren't sure what time we will be there. Just came randomly around 11.30 am -and got a table! That's a gigantic place! Almost occupied to the full capacity, but a few tables were available. With a terrace, different types of tables-amazing! It was my first time. When we were seated, the first you would noticed-tables are not that closed to each other, and quite spacious... not a "mini" tables with narrow space in between... Comfortable seating. Our waiter, Maison, was very friendly, and asked us if it's our first time eating in Jacob's Pickles- and as we said "Yes", informed us that the portions are very BIG! And they were! Very BIG! (For 2-3). I ordered grilled salmon salad- unique crisp salmon -how it's possible to cook that way? Delicious! My friend had Biscuit chicken, served in the iron pan... He loved it, as well I loved my salmon salad. My green tea was served the way I like- teapot filled with hot water, tea bag placed aside on the small tray. Hot water was refilled, when I asked, as coffee refilled for my friend. Would love to be back and try more dishes... want to say a special Thanks to Maison-great service! read more

Always wanted to check this place out and so glad I did. The place is so aesthetically pleasing, the space is huge, they have 2 big communal tables in the back. Service was great our server Aubrey was very attentive and answered any questions we had about the menu. She greeted us and immediately told us about restaurant week specials and regular nightly specials. Now let's talk about the food! Please come hungry!! Portions are HUGE. The RW menu had many options for appetizers and about 4 different chicken biscuits sandwiches, alone with ribs, burger and a salad. I had so many left overs that I am still currently eating. read more

End to end AMAZING! First - ask for Arielle. Inspiring human and wonderful service. I'm from the South, so having Jacob's Pickles here is a treat. All my southern cravings are there, and on steroids! I mean next level yummy and gigantic portions. Standout dish (special after 4pm on certain days) - the beef rib. It is slowly braised and fall off the bone tender...smoky...succulent. The collards would make any Mema proud! The fried chicken is super moist and flavorful (yep, buttermilk and hot sauce marinade!). The sausage gravy is herby and divine. I could go on and on. Basically, come hungry and on a massive cheat day so you can eat it all. Totally worth it! PS - must try the jalapeño cheddar cornbread. Please don't be scared of butter. read more

En route to New York City, we were googling something and wound up discovering Jacob's Pickles completely by accident. The place sounded very promising and very cool, so we vowed to pop in if we could manage it. So it was on our last day for our last meal we decided to pop into Jacob's Pickles. We showed up around 6:30 on a Friday evening and even though the place was hopping, we managed to snag an end spot on a long communal table. I knew before we got there that I wanted one of their chicken sandwiches topped with a ridiculous amount of sliced pickles, so I decided to go with the Honey Chicken And Pickles ("Buttermilk Fried Chicken, Hot Sours, Clover Honey"). It arrived to the table a short while later and as promised, it arrived absolutely smothered in pickles. I didn't bother trying to eat this gargantuan concoction as a sandwich, but man did I enjoy the heck out of it. It all works so well, from the perfectly fried chicken to the spicy pickles to the sweet honey. It's seriously delicious. I also figured I should drink at least one Manhattan during our trip, so I ordered the Michter's American Manhattan ("Michter's American Whiskey, Carpano Antica Sweet Vermouth, Bourbon Soaked Montmorency Cherry, Angostura Bitters"). It's a really good drink. It doesn't reinvent the wheel but it gave me all the flavors I'm looking for in a first-class Manhattan, so I was happy. Jacob's Pickles is such a cool place, from the food to the ambiance to the boisterous vibe. I'd make this a regular spot if I lived in the area. read more

Just ordered takeout from here: chicken sandwich, fried pickles, and because their menu is misleading, I ordered an extra order of fries - an order apparently comes with the sandwich. This was the most GREASE I've experienced in my life. Even if I was ordering a bag of grease, this would have been more than that. The flavor was too greasy to eat more than a bite. I threw the entire order into the trash. TG for Grubhub because they gave me a refund. Don't order or go here. After reading the other reviews, I'm convinced they're entirely fake. read more

Food is as good as I remember it being years ago. The thing that's taken a hit is the service and ambiance. If you're making a reservation, MAKE FOR INSIDE. This place would have a 4 or 5 star review if it wasn't for the lackluster service and the sheer number of flies and birds all over the outdoor dining areas. Food: -anything with the biscuits is pretty great. Had the hot honey chicken and biscuits. -it comes with a crazy amount of pickles itself so no need to order a side of any of there pickles unless something different catches your eye or you really really love pickles. Service: I don't know if it was because not as many were managing the outside or we caught them on an off day but the service from the waitstaff left a lot to be desired. The bussers were amazing and attentive but the waitstaff were subpar. Hard to track down for condiments, or once we were done, hard to track down for our check. They need to add in fans or some form of deterrent to keep the flies and birds away. You are eating on the street/sidewalk of nyc so it comes with the territory but they don't seem to do anything to help you. Birds are manageable but how are flies acceptable for a food establishment. If it was not for the great food, the score would've probably dropped to 1 star. read more

Jacob's,in my opinion is the best of NYC. A true triple threat. The best service , the best food , and bomb drinks. You can't ask for better. It is also on my beloved upper west side. You really can't get any better. If you happen to stop in for a bite.ask for Katelin. She is funny, sweet and knows this place like the back of her hand. So very well versed on parring their amazing food and their perfectly crafted cocktails . She is my absolute favorite waitress in nyc. Then there is jake the manager that just beems with love and kindness. Jacobs feel like a big hug and great food. If you are coming for a visit them come straight here from the airport. This needs to be your first tast in NYC. read more

Used to be OBSESSED but my most recent trip was not good. I came here to celebrate after running a half marathon and was left waiting 1h+ for our food after ordering; I think the order got lost or something, but our waiter never apologized or tried to rectify it. Once the food did come, it was just so meh. You would think Oreo biscuit French toast would be incredible, but it was dry and didn't taste like much; pancakes weren't great either. I remember Jacob's having some of my favorite French fries, but they were also just whatever on this trip. I do LOVE the Jam Jar cocktail though! Perfect for anyone who loves strawberry lemonade read more
