A friend of mine told me about these Pickle People that are inside of Western Beef on Thursdays-Sundays! My friend raved about them and how her family had been coming here for years and how her brother from the Carolinas sent her money to pick up pickles. I was in West Hempstead on my way to the highway and my friend reminded me that the Pickle People were there, but I needed to have CASH which I almost never have. Thank God I found a few bucks in the car. These pickles are amazing. I ate three pickles before leaving the parking lot. Every flavor is good! I love horseradish so I ordered the quarter. I definitely have to go back and get the Cajun, spicy and sour. The service provided by Eddie was amazing. He takes time with each customer, which explains why they have repeat customers. read more

What kind of animal tries to shame others reviews as a basis for being blindly glowing? No where on earth have I found a list of ingredients with these. The dills tended to be a bit soggy to boot. So, with that, totally overrated in my humble opinion. Being forthcoming goes a long way ... read more

The lady who helped Me was SO friendly and nice. The pickles are to die for...... I ate 7 today‍ the hot shots, full sour, and ragin Cajun are MUST buys. read more

Pickle People - Specialty Food Near Me - West Hempstead, New York

As a kid, I remember going to Shoppers Village and getting pickles from the pickle stand and it was the highlight of the entire trip! The pickles seemed to be so HUGE at the time!! Eventually Shoppers Village closed down and ........no more pickles!!! Now sure I've come across a few pickles since then but it's never been the same. Fast forward to 2019......I stopped in Western Beef to pick up a few items an stumbled across the booth as I was entering the freezer section. Automatically I remembered the booth from when I was younger and HAD to get me a pickle!! I shared my reflection with the girl behind the counter and she gave me a brief history lesson about the company and products. I almost passed out with excitement! Now yes...... I know.....it's ONLY pickles..... but I LOVE pickles and I've found the mothership again!! Now, down to the review: Cons: 1. a little salty but that's what pickles are..... 2. Smaller like Kirby's Pros: 1. Delicious and crunchy 2. Come in pint and quart sizes 3. Variety of flavors including Sour, 1/2 Sour, Cajun, Atomic etc. The have other stuff like pickled tomatoes and peppers and you can also buy the pickle juice separately. 4. Great customer service Ok...sorry for the long review but overall if you love pickles this is the place to be! The prices are a little higher at the festivals and you can't buy the quart sizes. Cash only. Closed on Mondays. Enjoy read more

$2 a pickle at the town fair? Not even that bigg They are good but that's a bit much. read more

Amazing service and pickles lol. I am a pickle fanatic and the ones i recommend are the dead shots & the hot shots! which they came in the taller containers but it doesn't stop me from buying 2/3 when i see them. read more

These are honestly the best pickles in all the land! If you have never tried a pickle by them, I do not know what you are doing with yourself! They are A M A Z I N G! I have been getting them as long as I can remember. Usually their show up on Long Beach or at the annual Oyster Festival in Oyster Bay! They have many different pickles such as sour, garlic, bread&butter, hot&spicy deliciousness. They come in pints or quarts or gallons! You can even get a pickle on a stick. They are amazing by themselves or with a sandwich. They have good prices and I know you will not regret it! Please try them out! read more

I love pickles. I will admit it. I love sour garlicky pickles. I go here often to purchase their cajun pickles, sour pickles and the hot and sweet sliced pickles. We usually leave this place spending 30 bucks or so on pickles! There is no better pickle place in the NY area. Hands Down this family owned booth, inside Western beef, is awesome. read more

Great pickles, great people. I don't get here very often but when I am in the area always try to stop, especially for barbecue season.

Ate amazingly delicious pickles all day at the craft fair in Rockaway park this past weekend. The Pickle People were serving up pickle after pickle to the neverending line of pickle craving beach-goers. I tried the horseradish, cajun, hot & spicy, dill, and half-dill flavors. All were really awesome. I even went home with two half-gallon buckets of pickles to enjoy for the next week or so. Everything was super fresh and packed with flavor. I never thought I could love pickles this much. As far as pickles are concerned... These guys are 5-stars all the way!!! :-) read more

The SALTY PICKLE Should Be The Name Here. This Place Is Located Inside Western Beef And They Only Accept Cash That All Being Said The Pickles Are Ok.......Really Taste Of Salt Water Not So Much A New York Pickle You Know The Sour Type You Cant Stop Eating And You Know There Bad For You lol The Spicy Pickle Is Just That Just A Spicy Cucumber Not A Fan And I Love Spicy. This Was Just Lacking Taste. Kinda Of Like Grabbing All The Hot Spicy Spices You Have And When You Think Its Hot And Cant Taste Anything Add Some More Just To Surpass The Flavor All Together And Just Get Heat ALL IN ALL - If You Must Have A Mediocre Pickle Or In The Area Then Try It There Just OK.......You Can Get Better Out Of A Jar. TIP- Ask For A Sip Of There Pickle Juice If You Don't Like It Then You Know How Its Gonna Taste Before You Buy It read more

It is easy being green if you are a pickle! OMG "Pickle People" was a staple back in 90's at Shoppers Village. (My dad can account) for my nose...I would sniff out the pickles without a map. Nothing made me happier than wrapping my tiny hands around that juicy, meaty, green PICKLE! Thank you for housing "The Pickle People" in the W. Hemp WB loc! I make special trips just for the pickles! CASH ONLY but you get a free pickle! read more

Great flavored pickles with a nice assortment from new dill to sweet/hot. It's worth the 45 minute drive from my home to get them.

There is no better!!! Located inside (but independent from) Western Beef in West Hempstead. Great variety from half sours, to full sours, Dill, Horseradish, and different levels of hot. These are the real deal! Trust me no better, everything a pickle should be. read more

What kind of animal leaves a bad review about pickles? This place has been around longer than I have been alive. So good! Have a pickle.

The pickle people know their pickles. They cold pack their pickles so the result is crunchy, crisp pickles and peppers. They are so different than the pickles that you buy in supermarkets. Most of the store bought pickles are over processed. The result is a softer less crisp product. They Pickle people make at least 7 different flavors of pickles. I tried the extra hot, garlic, and dill today. I loved them all. Their extra hot was surprisingly hot. Next time I will try their Cajun. I also tried their pickled green tomatoes. Very good. I bought a large container of pickled hot peppers. I am looking forward to trying them tonight. They also had a mixed pickled veggies. read more

The quality of the pickles bar none are the absolute best ever! Everything made the old fashion way, the best way. I have been a regular customer for years and my kids go wild over the pickles. Fresh home made sauerkraut is fantastic as well. Eddie is a pleasure to deal with and the product is always fresh and delicious. You have a customer for life. read more

I can't even tell you how much I've enjoyed the pickles from "The Pickle People." I was never a big fan of pickles, until I first stopped by. Love the Bread and Butter and Hot and Spicy pickles, so much flavor and the staff is friendly all the time. read more

Greatest pickles in NY without a doubt. What a selection of spicy pickles. This is a pickle haven for pregnant women. Nicest lady working behind the counter. Cant wait to head back to this fine establishment. No credit cards accepted. Cash only! read more

HOLY HOMEMADE PICKLE!! I just tried these for the first time at the Huntington Fall Festival! I can't believe they've been doing this for over 30 years and I've never found them! So amazingly good. The wicked sour pickles were delicious. And wicked they were, I can still feel the pucker in my jaw! They were crunchy until the very last bite, which is hard to find these days. My friend recently told me to look for these pickles and insisted I try the Hot Shots. Now, I'm not crazy about hot foods, and I wasn't sure how I'd feel about hot pickles... but I think I found my new obsession. Sweet with heat, who knew it would be so delicious. The people working there were very friendly and let me try different pickles before I bought the 4 gallons I brought home!!!! Oh yea and HICKORY!? A pickle seasoned with smoked salt???!! It tasted like a pickle right off the BBQ, SO FRIGGIN GOOD! As soon as I got home, I read up online about them and saw their event schedule. They do events all over, AND they have a shop! Yes a pickle shop! I didn't even know those existed. The last time I ate a pickle this good was when I was a kid in the supermarket, out of the wooden barrels by the deli. read more

I kid you not, I ate a quart of these crunchy morsels of heaven in 2 days. I've never known pickles like this in my life, you can actually taste the love. I loved the horseradish and the ginger pickles the most, but the standard pickles are also wonderful. read more
