I came here about 2 weeks ago with 2 friends. The atmosphere is very nice and our server was really friendly and attentive, but the food sucked. We ordered the fried pickles appetizer, which were pretty good. I ordered the smash burgers and the ratio of bun to meat was laughable. The bun was 4" thick and all I tasted was bread. I have no idea how the meat was because I was eating mostly bun. The fries were nothing special, just whatever they order in frozen. My friend ordered the Buttermilk Biscuit Sandwich. It came with burned bacon and over-fried green tomatoes that I tried, but were so chewy they were inedible. She said the chicken was also over-fried and dry. She said the cole slaw was spicy and flavorful and so moist that it made the dry chicken edible. Our third friend ordered a salad (I forget which - some kind of wedge) and she said it was pretty OK. read more

I am coming back here!! The food is soo good and I love how the theme is pickles. If you are in a bigger group I would recommend trying the pickle sampler. I was feeling savory so I got something from the lunch menu but the brunch menu seems like what they are known for! The portions are HUGE. The service is great and they get busy so come during non peak times! read more

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

What a pleasant surprise!! Coming from the southern part of Virginia, I had high expectations for a place in NYC claiming to be southern; but boy the portions and flavors did NOT miss!! First off, the interior of the restaurant was absolutely gorgeous, a rustic style american vibe with warm lighting. The servers were very attentive and the food was excellent!! Portions were humongous and very flavorful. I'd recommend it to anyone nearby!! Will warn; cocktails are strong and will sneak up on you read more

Second time here. This time for breakfast. Had no idea this place was this popular about a 30 min wait outside for everyone but at least they text you when ready. A whole new set of specials. We tried the cookies and Oreo biscuits. It tasted like regular biscuits to me lol but maybe i didn't have enough This is the thickest French toast of my life. Thicker than Texas toast lol. One slight and i was feeling like i may not finish this but delicious altogether. This place is becoming a regular i have to come to in the city read more

This was my first time at the new location which is definitely improved from the last one. My first time for dinner services I was not impressed with brunch last time. Went in the 4th of July and they seemed to have less staff which makes sense. Anyway we got Mac and cheese which was not worth it and then a cesear wrap but subbed salmon instead of chicken. They did not inform us that it would be an up charge for the substitution and it was disappointing when the check came it was a surprise. They should tell customers when something is in up charge and not just say yes we can do the change. They played the World Cup game and it was good energy for a holiday weekend dinner in the neighborhood so the ambiance was fine. I'd go back with friends to try more items that were better for sharing then for two people. Would be great if a manager could resolve the issue about the up charge. read more

Jacob's Pickle hits different. The chicken soup? Tastes like something my mom or grandma would've made--comforting, rich, and made with love. The mac and cheese? Honestly, one of the best I've ever had. Creamy, cheesy, with that perfect crust on top. Only downside? They're moving.. read more

Fun neighborhood spot with delicious food and both indoor and outdoor seating. Came on a Saturday to meet up with a friend-- it was a little chilly outside (60s), but given summer has yet to arrive, it was a great reprieve from the winter weather! They don't take reservations but the wait was pretty short (I want to say around 10-15 minutes?). We were seated outdoors, which was honestly really nice. For food, we got the special, which was a hash, and the hot chicken biscuit. Both of them were delicious and we had leftover even sharing between two people! It's definitely southern comfort food and I would be happy to eat either again (although with the extensive menu I'll be tempted to try something else!). Service was pretty timely and it was a mix of families and friends catching up. Will definitely be back! read more

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

My friends and I went for some food after an event at Symphony Space. We were glad JP's was open late-ish because few places are around there post-pandemic. The hostess showed me a high booth but my friend has knee issues so I asked for a regular table. She said I could sit on the patio then and didn't offer anything else. A sign of things to come. I asked one of the other staffers to see what could be done since almost every table outside of the bar area, was open. He helped us out and we moved to a table inside. Our waiter, who was new and incredibly friendly, is the only reason I'm giving the extra star. My friend who ordered the trio of pies was happy but my other friend who got several appetizers, only liked the cheese grits (they were good-abundant cheese). He thought the deviled eggs were too sweet and the matzo ball soup lacked flavour. They were out of several items, including the homemade potato chips, which were supposed to come with my salmon burger. The kitchen sent fries and the waiter didn't know the chips accompanied the burger. The fries were okay, but needed more salt and crispness. The salmon burger was fine, but also could have done with more seasoning or contrasting tastes. If not for our waiter Garret or Gareth, the meal would have pretty much been a wash. read more

My nephew LOVES pickles, so naturally, we had to have lunch here. We started with an order of fried pickles (with dilly ranch, obvi), which he loved. He got the matzoh ball soup, which was fine. I had the fried chicken sandwich from the lunch specials, which came with pickle slaw, fries and seasonal soup (mushroom). It was a ton of food and I ended up giving some to my nephew. My brother got the mac and cheese, which was huge and had good quality cheese. We had a friendly team helping us while we were there and they offered us candy as we left (it was Halloween and trick or treating was just starting). read more

The slow customer service, coupled with substandard food and beverages, left us with a highly unfavorable overall impression. I neither recommend nor would I revisit this establishment. The staff appeared disinterested in our feedback, as they never asked about our satisfaction. Although the server recommended the meatloaf, my guest and I agreed it was the worst we had ever encountered. read more

Wow we got so much food here and everything was great. Pickled green beans are a must. Biscuits were amazing and so fluffy. Mac and cheese was very good but a little bland imo. Deviled eggs were huge- maybe a little too much filling for me but very flavorful! Would definitely recommend! Portions were huge and we got to take a lot of food home. Service was just ok. read more

Jacob's Pickles - Biscuits & Fixings, Classic Mac & Cheese, Deviled Eggs - Comfort Food Near Me - New York, New York

Delicious and on a busy Sunday brunch no less. Came here as the last meal before leaving new york and we definitely left on a high note food wise. This place is really cute and goes farther back with more tables than you might realize first walking in. And the wait again wasnt more than 30 minutes for a table in beak brunch time. Once we were sat Mason was the best server to have. He let us know which items were favorites and steered us the right way. What we ate: Biscuits & Fixins (Fixins: butter, orange marmalade, honey, strawberry compote, maple butter) Big slab of Bacon Crispy chicken Ceasar salad classic mac and cheese Slow Cooked Meatball Dilly Green Bean Pickle What we Drank Jam Jar The Brooklyn Gin No notes and getting a whole pickle sliced was sooo good. Everything was good from the beginning to end of our meal. read more

We stopped in with our family of five, and everything from start to finish was perfect. Our waiter Mason was excellent -- attentive without hovering, super friendly with our kids, and made sure everything came out just right. We started with the deviled eggs and fried pickles, both of which were incredible -- crispy, flavorful, and exactly what you want from Southern comfort food. For the main course, we had the fried chicken with honey, and it was unreal -- crunchy on the outside, juicy on the inside, and perfectly balanced by that touch of sweetness. They were also great with young kids, which can be rare in the city. The staff made us feel welcome, helped us navigate the big portions, and made the whole meal fun and stress-free. Highly recommend Jacob's Pickles for anyone looking for amazing comfort food, great service, and a family-friendly vibe. We'll definitely be back! read more

The food children love it. Service is okay at times and generally better. The ambiance is good.

A really nice place - beautiful decor and great ambience . The food was also very good - 1) started w the pickles platter - 10$ for 8 different servings . All of them very good . Very recommended (4.2/5) 2) salmon salad - very good and very large portion . Loads of fresh arugula and the salmon was roasted to perfection (4.1/5) 3) we also got the classic mac and cheese , which were...just ok. I prefer mine with a little more flavour ;(3.5/5) 3)) we got a plate of french fries to the table - large portion but nothing to write home about (3-5) We got a few cocktails that were quite good The portions here are large and good for two Would come back to try even more things read more

Jacob's Pickles - Chicken Caesar salad wrap - Comfort Food Near Me - New York, New York

I love Jacob's Pickles but their food portions are ridiculous!! Way too much. Makes me not want to go.

Big bustling restaurant on the Upper west side with a huge menu of southern food and drinks. It took us so long to decide our poor waitress had to come back 3 times to take our order. Overall we all really enjoyed the spicy savory crunchy food we got. Some things were a miss though. Jalapeño poppers were great. We're so used to frozen, refried ones at other places, this was a good departure. They were more roasted with spicy melty cheese on top and not spicy. Fried pickles were spears, battered and fried. Great crunch but tasted more batter than the tang of the pickle. Hot Chicken n biscuits was the best item. Served with creamy grits and a huge biscuit. Just get it but it is spicy. Buffalo Mac n cheese was good even though penne shaped pasta didn't feel very southern. Plus needed more flavor with buffalo sauce. Chicken Caesar wrap was disappointing even though it's a generous size. It seemed like they took crispy scraps of chicken from other things for the wrap. I would've liked to see bigger pieces of the chicken. The crisp lettuce and sauce were good tho. There was an unspoken peer pressure when we saw pink cocktails with fresh strawberries on so many tables. So happy we gave in to get the refreshing jam jar cocktail. The loud music and packed restaurant made for a pretty noisy atmosphere. I'm Gen X so think in a few years, I'll be doing takeout only. Our service was wonderful and attentive. read more

I only came for dessert but this place is a hidden gem! The service is absolutely amazing and makes you feel like you're in the south getting southern hospitality. The restaurant is huge and there's no rush to kick out customers (which is true for most NYC restaurants). I thoroughly enjoyed my time just sitting there and being transported. We got the 24 layer chocolate cake and it was incredible! The best slice of chocolate cake I've had in NYC. The fudge topping was amazing and the cake was not too sweet nor dry. I would love to come back for brunch! read more

WE LOVE THIS PLACE but I wish Faith could take shots with us. She is so friendly and we are obsessed with her and she just maintains her professionalism and doesn't agree to take shots. But we LOVE her and will keep coming back to hang out with her. read more

I have been coming to OG JP since they opened, and I have never had a disappointing meal. We were really excited for the new location (closer to where we live and more space), and finally were able to try it this weekend. We had a reservation and were seated quickly. First thing I noticed was the dirty plates on the table. Mine had white debris stuck on the plate. Since we weren't using the small plates, we just had them take it away. Our server was super friendly, and we asked about any new or specialty items on the menu. The pumpkin biscuit was one of their new specials and so I had that subbed in with the coop platter while my boyfriend had the steak and eggs. The coop platter tasted as expected, though the pumpkin biscuit was lackluster. It was more cake-y in texture than biscuit. I probably should've just stuck with their standard biscuit. The steak and eggs, however, were a huge disappointment. First, it came out cold - like the steak had obviously been sitting out for a while and looked dry. We sent it back and waited for another one to come out. The second attempt at the steak came out raw on the inside. We explained to our server that we'll just box it up and finish cooking it at home since we didn't want to wait a third time for them to get it right and we had already finished my plate while waiting. The server was understanding and they knocked off the steak and eggs from our final bill. Overall, the customer service was good and we enjoyed the vibe of the restaurant. We're hoping that they can iron out the kinks on their newer menu items, as we do love JP and want to come back. read more

Went with a friend for lunch after a trip to The Met. Arrived around 3, so it became a late lunch or early dinner. The restaurant was crowded but tables were available for immediate seating. Place was a little bit noisy but was able to have a comfortable conversation. Service was ok but not overwhelming. Server came over quickly, took a drink order and gave us ample time to review the menu. There was never a checkin once we got the food delivered by a runner to make sure everything was ok. Now onto the food. We both ordered the burger and fries with fried onions, spicy pickles, spicy sauce and cheddar cheese. Cooked to perfection. I asked if the spicy pickles and sauce be put on the side so I could test. Sauce on the side yes, pickles no. Took em off my self. They did have a bit of a kick. Fries were crispy. We had the homemade lemonade which packed a powerful puckered punch, delicious. Definite recommend read more

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

Jacob's Pickles is the perfect spot if you're looking for Southern comfort food, classic brunch staples or just looking to put yourself in a fried chicken food coma. *AMBIANCE* Located in a cozy, rustic, setting, this place offers an inviting atmosphere that makes you feel right at home. We walked in on a Sunday morning and was seated right away for a party of 2. Seating can be a bit tight here. *FOOD* I ordered the sausage gravy smothered chicken ($19) and it did not disappoint! The chicken was perfectly tender and seasoned, smothered with generous heaps of flavorful gravy, while the biscuits were warm and buttery. It also comes with a side of grits. The home fries ($9) were crisped and seasoned well, spread with some slices of roasted red peppers. *SERVICE* Service was very friendly, and our food came out quickly. Definitely worth a visit....come hungry and carbo load yourself here! Just be prepared for the onset of the food coma :) read more

Loved the food. We were seated downstairs which was ok since the upstairs was so loud. We got four types of pickles, the cornbread and the hot honey chicken sandwich. This was enough for two people and we were stuffed. The portions are giant here. For pickles we had the jalapeños, horseradish pickles, carrots, and greenbeans. I loved the green beans the most. The cornbread was giant! Loved all the cheese and butter it was like bread pudding. The chicken sandwich was also delicious. The fried chicken was crispy and perfectly cooked. Loved the hot honey was great too. For dessert we shared the Valentine's Day strawberry mousse dessert. Wasn't too heavy and was yummy. I had the sangria drink which was flavorful and had nice warm flavors. Service was quick and very friendly. Bathroom was old so not a fan. For the size and flavor food was very fairly priced. read more

Food: Excellent . Arrived hot. Filling. Took home a box Service: Dope. Our waitress, Jordan, was amazing, patient and took separate checks!!!! Ambiance: Crowded on a Saturday afternoon, it's to be expected. However, owner should consider widening the entrance, bar area so peeps can have a better place to wait for their party. The bathroom upstairs near the bar, dimly litted, no tissue on the ring, kinda dingy. One of the ladies in my party said the bathroom downstairs had multiple stalls and was clean. We came here today based on prior reviews and word of mouth. Glad we did!!! We'll be back read more

Jacob's Pickles is reliably good! The portion sizes are massive and you always have leftovers no matter what. I recently came in for the restaurant week lunch and it was an incredible value! A large plate of deviled eggs, breakfast sandwich and dessert for $30. Their sweet tea is also amazing. Service can range from borderline bad to pretty good. I've never been blown away by the service here but it does tend to get very busy at times. When it is busy, the restaurant is pretty loud and chaotic I'm now a vegetarian so I can no longer eat their chicken, and I wish they would offer a bit more vegetarian options outside of the sides . I'd like to see a vegan meat option one day. read more

Great place for lunch with friends or a big group! We got the cob salad, house mac and cheese, and elote - all were great but we especially loved the biscuits and fixins! The biscuit was so fluffy and warm and the accompanying fresh jams and butters were great. Surprisingly, our least favorite thing here were the pickles! We got the the dill pickles and they honestly tasted pretty ordinary - might try something different next time. Overall, still a great place for lunch! read more

Oh my gosh. Honestly don't think I'd ever get this experience. Or at least not anytime in the foreseeable future. I am apart of this pickle addicts group on Facebook and someone posted their pickle flight from this place and knew I had to go. So I get the opportunity to go to New York for one day and honestly... this place was kinda out of my way and I don't even care. I really wish I would have had someone to enjoy the pickle flights with. They were HUGE. Honestly, it'd be cool if they offered 2 sized flights. One for a single person and one to share :) I could have had 2 pickles from each jar and been totally content. But on the plus side, I had tons to take home. I tried the rosemary vodka lemonade. Super good! But I realized I shouldn't have had a drink like that with pickles haha. They had this sour cider that was so amazing I wanted to cry. It reminded me of this place in tillamook Oregon that sells sour beers and you basically can ONLY get them there. I dream about those drinks to this day, 11 years later. So to find something that tastes similar to their drinks was just nostalgic and priceless. It was a sour cherry cider. They had 2 more sours on draught but I didn't particularly care for them. Onto the pickles. Their classic dill is their best seller. I ate almost all of those. The green beans were so crunchy and delicious. I loved the pickled beets but they're not crunchy and shouldn't be. The carrots were pickled with something spiced and it reminded me of Christmas. I don't care for sweet pickles so I'm not the one to ask, my opinion is very bias. There were 3 different sweet pickles. Bread and butter chip pickles, a sweet spear, and a horseradish pickle. I wish the horseradish pickle wasn't sweet and was just spicy :( Wasn't really spicy at all. Didn't taste horseradish. And last was the jalapeño. That was phenomenal. I woulda eaten more than one but with the lemonade I shouldn't have gotten, I didn't want to make my stomach hot. My bartender Kaaarrrrrlllll was just top notch. Super friendly. Conversed with me. Asked me about my trip and why I was there. Definitely wasn't a be nice to make a good tip kinda person. Was just genuine and knew how to do his job well. I appreciate the conversation since I was there all alone and hardly talked to anyone all day except when I needed help figuring out where I was going. Can't wait to come back one day with friends and try different pickle drinks and actually eat some protein with the pickles!! read more

Very friendly staff, delicious food. We got a breakfast platter that was easily big enough for two of us to share. Everything was delicious and perfectly cooked.

Same great service and delicious food - plus a new beautiful space! The new location is gorgeous and has much more space. I also appreciate that the patio is dog friend. My go-to is the honey chicken sandwich, which has spicy pickles and is served on a fluffy biscuit and with a side of cheesy grits - yum, yum, yum. However, their mac n'cheese and chicken cesear salad are also fantastic. All of their portions are large so you could easily split one entree and one appetizer. Go and be merry! read more

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

Food was amazing service very attentive & polite. Restaurant is clean. this place was great very welcoming.

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
