Ordered the Club sandwich on a sub - tasted great! Pro tip: call ahead for pickup instead of ordering at the register, it saves you a lot of time. read more

As a man who knows his Italian Hoagies, I can safely rate this as a five star hoagie establishment. I'd consider this one of those hallowed halls of Hoagiedom that I frequent whenever possible - praying at the altar of salty meats and cheeses, enjoying Italian Hoagies with a giant grin across my face. There isn't much seating, but that's not really a big deal since you can bring your hoagie home and eat in front of your family and your dog (ours is named Mocha, she's a Pug-Jack-Russel-Chihuahua and quite a handful) who will all be jealous of the fantastic time you're having devouring such a meaty hoagie. The Italian does the thing where the pepperoni red rubs off the white, white provolone to make an orange color at the bottom of your hoagie - this is what I call the Hoagie Shine. Haven't seen it in years! Also my fat roommate, girlfriend and I enjoy the large selection of awesome beverages they offer - such as the infamous Rickey, which has only recently arrived at the Valero down the street, thanks to my fat roommate dropping hints at the management. My half-Jewish roommate often gets the Meatball Sub, he is the pickiest eater I've ever met, a total food-turtle, mostly PBJs and filtered water, so it's quite impressive for an establishment to pull him out of his food-shell and let him get his maw around food with real value. and this is a place that has food with real value. read more

This is my second time since the opening of this restaurant. The reason being the employees were so rude the first time, they made us feel like we were bothering them. So I figured let's give it a second chance on the way to Ritas ice. The cashier Skye wasn't outright rude, but her demeanor was that she couldn't be bothered today. From answering questions to cleaning the tables her attitude was don't bother me today.. .and to think she has a TIP JAR next to the register..REALLY LOL.....She kept going into cabinets that held cleaning supplies and etc..she kept slamming the xabinets..(if you know the cabinets are loud , then perhaps you would think to hold them until they close so they don't continuously bang) Angie the cook on duty was AWESOME, she smiled the whole time, she fixed an error I had on my salad (it was my fault and I told Angie I failed to mention) she was great about it..brought it to my table and made small conversation..she also brought out other orders to other customers and was telling them to ENJOY and HAVE A GREAT DAY... Put that TIP JAR near Angie..she would get it filled!!!!!! read more

Idk if everyone working today was having a bad day or what but there's no reason to be unfriendly to customers. Very negative energy! You guys should definitely work on that! read more

Awesome big pickles that were so fun to eat and the sandwiches were large and really good too!

Stopped to have a drink. Rudest bartender we have ever encountered. Could not stand at the bar, kept insisting get a table. We don't prefer to sit at tables she was not nice at all. We just left and will never go back and will let people know not to waste time. There are way to many other places to spend our money in downtown. Recommend Stir! Great service and atmosphere. read more

This is my first time here. The sandwiches were tasty although not huge. Everything is ala cart so it can get a little expensive. We will definitely give this deli another visit. read more

See all

Went here a few weeks ago and walked up to the counter. Asked them what the daily lunch special was and they told me there wasn't any specials?! I immediately took my family of 4 and left. Wanna make money at lunch? Sell some damn lunch specials daily! Include soup/salad and sandwich lunch specials and see business rise. What does Kingston want to see? Something comparable to Panera, Lunch combos and specials read more

Service was alright; not super friendly. Two slices of meat and 2 inch thick bread doesn't really work. Need a better meat to bread ratio. Got a huge tasty pickle for a dollar though, so that's pretty lit. read more

Soups. Salads. Sandwiches & Subs; Those are what Kenneth Weiss prides himself on at his deli, KJ's Pickle Barrel in Edwardsville,PA (right off Wyoming Ave) Kenneth Weiss, owner of the Pickle Barrel, located at 506 Main street, opened the deli in August 2012. Since then, he has gained quite the following and the fans rant and rave over his variety of sandwiches,"Red Devils" (pickled beet eggs) and of course,Pickles that Ken has to offer. Ken was inspired by his mother Elaine to become a chef (she used to run a catering business) He grew up around the corner from the Pickle Barrel and wanted to bring a mom and pop feel to the community. Today, his mom brines over 55 pounds of Pickles a week and produces 8 gallons of garlic dill Weiss pickles for KJ's that is served with your sandwich of choice! Trying to figure out what we wanted for lunch put us in a pickle; in a good way. With a lot to choose from, we decided on the Hot Rodeo Sandwich; Oven Roasted Chicken, Cooper Cheese, Onions, Bacon, and Sweet Baby Ray's BBQ Sauce toasted on white bread and we also had the delight of eating the best Reuben Sandwich in NEPA; Juicy, Tender, Soft, Corned Beef, Melted Swiss Cheese (White Gold!) Sauerkraut, and Thousand Island Dressing Grilled on toasted Rye. Now I have had corned beef before, and I'm going to tell you exactly what I told Ken. "that was the best Reuben I have ever had." Never in my life have I had such soft corned beef. It falls a part in your mouth and you really don't even need to chew it unlike most corned beef I've had where I've almost broken my jaw biting into it! With Kens all you have to do is just savor the flavor and enjoy. The Swiss cheese was melted just right and the toasted rye brought it all together. Needless to say my mouth was watering for more. I had to stop myself from licking the foul and paper it came wrapped in. I have been searching for the perfect Deli in NEPA and I definitely found it. Most delis are a hit or miss and like I told Ken, KJs is a hit! Along with the awesome food you'll notice art from local artists on the walls such as photos, wood carvings,paintings and more featuring an artist of the month and these pieces are for sale Incase you fall in love with one and have to take it home. KJ's has a lot to offer besides hot sandwiches such as: cold subs, soups (try the Tomato Bisque if offered, it's the best we've had) cobb, garden,chef, macaroni,red potato, pasta, and cheddar mac salads, antipastos, and cole slaw. KJ's Pickle Barrel also makes 4ft Subs (feeds 20-25)and 6 foot Subs (feeds 25-30 ) with 3 different meat and cheese combos to choose from ranging from $67.95 to $89.95 . Catering? Absolutely.

KJ's Pickle Barrel - KJs Pickle Barrel - Delis Near Me - Kingston, Pennsylvania

Phenomenal Sandwich shop! Plus they are the only place around that carries La Columbe coffee!! Fantastic and creative sandwiches. Made fresh on the spot! Great hours! They even deliver! read more

It's okay. Went here the other day and ate inside. Restaurant was clean and the staff was friendly. We ordered 3 sandwiches 3 sides and 3 drinks. Came to a total of nearly $50.00, which in my opinion is rather pricey. The sandwiches were good, but plain and nothing special. I probably could have made the same thing at home for a quarter of the price. The sides were decent as well, but refer to the previous sentence. read more

Super friendly staff, great cozy ambiance and fun menu! The wasabi tuna melt is spicy perfection. Rolls are great.

Quick delivery, great selection, best sandwiches in the valley, homemade pickles are delicious, great customer service. Only issue is that sometimes they are out of the chips or soda I order, but they are quick to call to make adjustments, either a didn't flavor or take it off. read more

We've gotten sandwiches to go from here a few times now and almost every time they have messed up something with our order. Recently they have hired a new employee who takes the phone orders and works the register, and sorry to say it, but this person is an idiot. (must be a relative to be able to keep a job here). I have had to repeat our order to this person several times, and they have to repeat it back to me several more times, and they still screw up our order. When you go to pay the same person tries to work the register, but always has difficulty with it. They will tell you your sandwich will be ready in 15 or 20 minutes, and even though I wait a full half hour before going to pick it up, they usually haven't even started to make it yet. Then it's usually made wrong and you have to wait another 20 minutes for them to fix it. The rest of the workers look overwhelmed and confused, and they are slooooooooow. Don't expect to go here on your lunch break from work unless you get more than a hour for lunch. When you finally get your sandwich, it is just average, nothing special. And for a place called the pickle barrel, you would think their pickles would be outstanding, but in fact I think they are lousy. They also have lousy cole slaw, and if you want something toasted, like a blt or a club sandwich, their toaster only barely toasts the bread on one side. I'm never patronizing them again until they get their act together. I will go to Dagwoods deli instead or make my own sandwich. read more

Went here for a turkey sandwich, turkey hoagie and a soup.. $21.00 for hardly any meat on either sandwich..

Decided to try Picke Barrell for lunch, Big Mistake!! Breast of chicken was shredded and the amount in the sandwich couldn't feed a small bird. Was charged $7.25 oh yeah, they gave us a 1/2 pickle cut in 5 pieces. That being said, left hungry and went to Antionio's Pizza and got pizza otherwise I wouldn't have made it through the afternoon at work. Keep your punie sandwich and your half of pickle!! read more

I had already told myself to never go here again though they have moved locations since then. Today I figured I would try them again and ordered a couple of sandwiches for delivery since they aren't far away from my house. After waiting over an hour I had to call to figure out where my lunch was. I then found it would be another half hour or so. Who has that much time to wait for lunch, I know my wife did not. I had to cancel where then I was told I wouldn't see my funds back for three to seven business days. Kinda jacked and will not ever spend another dime here. read more

Had a few different sandwiches here. All have been very good. Great little sandwhich shop reasonable prices. Well worth it... Very good... Very nice guy owns the joint. Workers are also helpful and nice to talk to... Check this place out, it's well worth it... Enjoy!!! read more

Very delicious hoagies! Quality, flavor and prices are on point! We will be coming more often to enjoy our food in their newly added dining room. read more

Delicious subs, friendly environment. I had the Italian with sweet peppers, very good. Hubby had the cordon bleu, which was also yummy. The macaroni salad was good as was the peanut butter cookie :) definitely putting this place on the list! read more

I've eaten here a dozen times and I've loved everything I've ordered. The sandwiches are fresh and made to order. The soups are a daily special and all delicious. I love everything about this place read more

My fiance and i meet here for lunch often when he gets a break. Salads are gigantic and there turkey club was delicious. They were willing to alter the sandwich to my liking and was big enough to take with me. The guys were super friendly making me fresh coffee and they gave our two yr old a bunch of pickles! It is my go to place! read more

Love this place! Food is fresh and delicious. Generous portions and wide variety of menu items - something for everyone. Best chicken noodle soup I've ever had. Salads, sandwiches - it's all delish. read more

I walked over from the Borough office and ordered soup. The Potato leek soup was good and hot. Returned next day for lunch. Mmm...good. will return. closed Sunday. read more

I have had better sandwiches from mini-marts...you're better off making your own. Worst tasting lunch meat, nothing seemed fresh, staff was unfriendly. I hear its new owners and have gone down hill since the transition. The meat to bread ratio was awful, I basically had a loaf of bread for lunch. Worst Chicken Cordon Bleu ever. Go to Dagwoods instead! read more

Really slow service. We ordered to-go and waited about 25 min. Only ordered 2 sandwiches. Other customers were served first and the place wasn't packed at the time. The sandwiches were ok, but the pickles were bland (lacking much of that "zip" expected from even store-bought pickles), which really surprised me. read more

Was a big fan of the ambiance of this place. Staff seemed friendly. I got the hipster sandwich and a cold brew. The sandwich came out hot and was great for the price. I loved the cold brew, it woke me up and tasted good. I'd recommend this place to local residents and college students in the area. read more

We had no idea what to expect but were pleasantly surprised. The staff was very attentive and went out of their way to make special accommodations for picky kids! Sandwiches were fantastic. Fresh, big and delicious. Highly recommend. read more

My favorite sandwich is tuna on rye with tomato and a side of their great soup of the day! Complemented by their great personalities always have a great meal there! read more

I really enjoyed the food from KJ's when my company ordered lunch from them. I had a Garcia which is one of their signature items and was definitely worth two meals!! Also, the homemade pickles that came with the sub rounded out the meal and were a nice touch. Definitely recommended!! read more

Great place for a quick bite. Quality meats and reasonable prices. However, if you go don't forget to order a side, the sandwiches don't come with chips like most. Great place, highly recommended. read more

Updating my review because Kj's Pickle Barrel has expanded. Still consistently great! My favorite place for hoagies!

Consistently great service & food. Try the smoke & fire sandwich, grilled, with avocado.

kyleee is the best at the front!!! got me and my friend some banging hoagies! was the bomb period!
