    Pickled String Beans
    Jewelia C.

    I got influenced online and had to buy from Pickle Guys.... Which is so dumb because I live in San Francisco and the price to ship these 3 containers to me was absolutely nuts and I am actually ashamed to admit how much I am willing to pay for some pickled things LOL. I got the hot peppers, sour pickles, and string beans. I wasn't a big fan of the hot peppers and didn't finish the container. The sour pickles were good but wow were they sour!!! Yummy but probably wouldn't pay to ship those cross country again. OH BOY THE STRING BEANS THOUGH - these things have changed my life lmao. I love string beans in general but pickled they are a game changer. They are SO crunchy and delicious I am actually drooling a little writing this review. I finished this container so quick. I did buy string beans from some local pickle companies and they were good but honestly no one seems to be able to nail the crunchiness the pickle guys ones have. Really wish I lived closer because I cannot justify paying those shipping costs again but I still think about those string beans very often and if I lived closer I definitely would try lots of the different items they offer!

    LES comfort! The Pickle Guys are a classic part of NYC. Love walking into the shop filled with barrels of pickled yumminess. I got my usual garlic sour pickles, but honestly everything is going to be delish here. I never noticed they also have smoked fish (next time, white fish for me).

    Spending the afternoon exploring the Lower East Side of NYC, we had to stop by this staple establishment. My partner has been many times and has always raved about the pickled pineapple. The line was out the door when we arrived. It is an extremely small space so people stood in line so close to the many barrels filled with the varied pickled items. A chart on the wall lists all selections and prices. It was very cramped and crowded. Samples were given on request and someone insisted we tried the green beans, but they were not for us. We left with pickles, beets, diakon radish, and pineapple. My favorite was the diakon radish with carrot. The rest was meh, including the pickles. Quite expensive as well. It was great to get to visit the last standing pickle place on Essex, but I don't think we will be back.

    This was a destination visit for me. This small, wonderful store, had every variety of pickled vegetable that you could think of. The staff were friendly, accommodating, and extremely efficient. I ordered the super sours, the whole pickled tomatoes, and the spicy pickled tomatoes, When I left the store, I tried the full sour pickle and we immediately went back in and bought 12 more ! This establishment will not disappoint you

    Every time we go to the store, warm childhood memories come flooding back. A place where it was delicious, bright, and genuinely welcoming! Where you heard words of warmth and hospitality in the markets, where there are no strangers' children! Where everyone is happy to see everyone else. The most tender and freshest, delicious pickles, just like Grandma Nyuma and Uncle Leva used to make.

    Awesome pickle spot if you're really into pickled foods of all kinds - not for the faint of heart! We visited on a weekday and it wasn't too busy, which made trying samples easier. We loved the standard pickles, the pickled pineapple, and the hot peppers!

    WHAT A TREAT!!! Gosh I wish we had one of these in Toronto. I had so much fun here. I got 4 pickles, 2 half sours and 2 new dills. LOVED the half sours. The barrels are so fun. The staff is so nice. I got a tote bag and he wrapped it up so well so none of the pickle juice would get on it. That's 10/10 service. I would go weekly if I could.

    When I lived in NYC I regularly went to the Pickle Guys at the corner of Grand & Essex Street. Alan Kaufman has owned & managed the shop since the 1980's. Weekly 2400 lbs of small cucumbers arrive here from and upstate NY cucumber broker in the summer and from in Florida over the winter months.The Pickle Guys is more than a hundred year old gourmet pickle store on the Lower East Side. Prior to refrigeration people pickled their fruits & vegetables to preserve them. In the 1800's there were 200 pickle shops here, now this is the last one left. The pickles & vegetables are stored in 40+ huge barrels and are vegetarian, vegan, gluten free & kosher. I would drive down on a Sunday morning because there was a lot of parking. I would enjoy sampling the vegetables, mushrooms, watermelon, mango slices, pineapple rings, & varieties of pickles watching the food tours and tourists stopping by for photographs and pickles. I loved their pickled garlic. In NY I used to buy gallon containers and use to substitute this garlic in all of my recipes. Then I found a recipe, purchased peeled garlic cloves at Cosco and made my own. Mine were good but they weren't as good as the Pickle Guys. Last week I ordered 4 quarts of pickles, veggies & garlic from the pickle guys. They arrived 2 days later by Fedex in wrapped plastic jars in a box that said refrigerate after opening. These pickles are such a treat! I spent over $75 on their website and got free shipping. Although I miss the shop and scene in the Lower East Side on a Sunday, this was a real treat!

    Attention pickle lovers... this place is for you. Right from the moment we walked in, we were greeted by the helpful staff and told how everything works. We also were given plenty of samples which really helps when making a purchase. The pickles were tasty and I also discovered that I like pickled mangoes.

    Spectacular pickles spectacular service the half sour dill pickles are my favorite. I went Saturday and then went back Sunday to get a quart, spectacular. Love all the decor and all the different options.

    I love all things acidic, pickled and as vinegary as they come. In fact, during a recent annual examination, I brought it up to my doc. I told him I'm not sure if I'm damaging my insides by consuming high amounts of acid. I seriously mean it when I say no meal is complete without a respectable amount of acid on my plate. He assured me I was fine and doing my gut a service by eliminating harmful bacteria, so....I visited the Pickle Guys! The shop smells of wonderful dill and happiness upon arrival. There was a small line that moved quite quickly. The workers were busy bees and got everyone out without issue and gave out samples upon request. There's lots of pickled themed decor and knick knacks for purchase. I was dying for pickled fruit, along with my favorite pickled red onion that I usually add to every single dish and was open to trying anything and everything. I zeroed in on the pickled Pineapple. Surely this must be delicious. I was also intrigued by their "sweet" sauerkraut. I took the trek into the LES alone so I couldn't buy much but I scored a quart of pineapple, red onion and a pint of the sweet kraut. EVERYTHING was mouth watering delicious and compliments my meals perfectly. The pineapples make a wonderful snack throughout the day, as well. Satisfies ALL of my taste buds. I couldn't put my finger on what makes the kraut sweet but for some reason I picked up on Sugar and grapefruit. I may be completely wrong but I was SO, SO glad I bought it. I can't wait to get back there, this time with other hands in tow to help me schlep a lot more product home. HIGHLY Recommend!

    Yummy dill pickle.

I love black sesame ice cream and put my colleague on to it, and she loved it as well. It was a nice treat on a hot 80 degree day in NYC. This space is in a great location in Cobble Hill, not far from transit and shops. The best part is it's clean and well lit. Will return to try some of their prepared foods and packaged salty items.

And don't miss out on the 50% off discount after 7pm for the hot foods/sushi, which is an hour earlier than Ten Ichi Mart.

What was once a family-owned, excellent grocery store run by wonderful people who cared is now a Key Food with a different name. I mean that literally; they were bought by Key Food during the pandemic, and they laid off all the employees (that we loved), brought in more self-checkout, and the quality of the produce has fallen off a cliff, while the prices have climbed to extortionist levels. For the most part, the replacement staff is quite nice and usually helpful (there are a couple bad apples that seem upset you need assistance). The guys behind the prepared food counter will do a solid job on your sandwich, and the cashiers are usually pleasant and almost always efficient. They still have a rewards program where if you spend around $250 and you get like $10 credit. (Hey, it's better than nothing.) The expansion of the store a few years back means they truly have just about everything, and the beer and ice cream selections are actually phenomenal (but overpriced). However, produce we buy is occasionally going bad already, and the prices are wildly out of control. I paid $7 for two onions last week. It becomes harder and harder to justify shopping here when it's more expensive than Fresh Direct, and vastly more pricey than the fruit and vegetable spots a few blocks away. I don't risk the meat and fish any longer (not with Paisanos and Fish Tales in the hood), although Bell & Evans chicken is quite reliable. Basically, Brooklyn Fare went from an incredible market to have across street to a last-resort for items I forgot to purchase elsewhere in the neighborhood, at reasonable prices. They know we're coming in when we need something, and we're going to pay for it. Despite these shortcomings, it's still great to have a corner store that has just about everything. I can still run out and grab some milk for my wife's cookies when I've finished the last drop and she looks particularly stabby. But it's going to cost $7 for half a gallon.
