I got a tuna melt to-go and it was pretty disappointing. The bread was not toasted enough to hold up the sandwich so everything was slipping out. I don't know if it's because I got there close to the end of the day and got the end of the container, but the tuna salad was so watery it made a big soupy drippy mess. read more

Super cute name for this corner deli and the shop mascot, a smiling pickle, was also super cute. They had so many types of sandwiches and salads to choose from that it took us a minute to pick what we wanted to try. We ordered a Reuben, a turkey special, and a Cuban sandwich plus we grabbed a potato salad and pasta salad pre-packaged container to go. Everything was tasty and made with fresh ingredients. We were even asked if we wanted light meat, dark meat, or a combination of both on our turkey sandwich. They are open from 8am-2pm weekdays only, so they also have breakfast sandwiches on the menu. I was *slightly disappointed* there wasn't a pickle sandwich or more pickle options available, but it won't keep us from ordering from here again in the future. read more

Best sandwich on Aquidneck Island along with amazing soups, salads, and great services! I was informed that this was under new management but will say that it was transparent for our lunch. Please try it out whether going to the beach, eating in, or picking up to run back to the office. you will not be sorry! read more

Picked a sandwich up today (ham and Swiss grinder. They did not disappoint. They did not skimp on the deli meat. We enjoyed it at the beach. Will go back. read more

I ordered take-out from "Pickles: A Deli" for a nice beach day. I was disgusted to find my sandwich had mold on parts of the bread. I'm sure the employees are doing the best they can, but this is a quality control issue. I had eaten more than half of my sandwich before realizing it was moldy...but despite this...the bread was not toasted and the sandwiches were soggy (15 minutes out of the restaurant). The pickles were good, and had a decent and strong flavor, but were comically large to the point where you're not sure if you should eat them in public. Consider cutting these into spears for easy eating. Maybe you should rename your establishment "Mold: A Deli" or "Abnormally Large Pickles: A Deli". read more

I was looking for a freshly made , corned beef Reuben . Most places were in providence and limited parking and very busy during lunch .because we re in south county , we did not want to deal with afternoon traffic. We found pickles online and we're not disappointed . I had the Reuben with a pickle and could only eat 1/2. The bread was toasted and not mushy . My husband had the American club which was easily 3 1/2 inches high. Needless to say we will be back .We like to patronize mom and pops as opposed to chains . read more

The best made sandwiches on AquidneckIsland! Believe me I ordered a Caesar shrimp wrap yesterday and it was so tasty and fresh! Not to much greens just enough. I've been going to Pickles for many years and now the location of our salon is next door! They make the best soups and always prepare a roast turkey for there famous thanksgiving turkey sandwich that will bring you back for another. Another favorite of mine is the Mac and Cheese. Although I can't do that often it's great to bring home and share. The staff at pickles is friendly and helpful. You can call it in or stop by. Easy parking . Great for a lunch crowd or for staff lunch in. I really can't say enough positive things about this lil deli. Try for yourself and you be the judge. read more

I stopped here while on a cross country trip. I was so tired of seafood I could spit. I had the roast beef and Brie sandwich and oh.my.gosh! Real talk, it was the best sandwich I have ever had. I live in San Diego and I'm so bummed, as I have no idea when I will ever make it back to Rhode Island so I can eat at Pickles-A Deli. read more

Menu: GINORMOUS! Hot, cold, all the meats, no meats, you name it! It looked like three chalk boards full of food listed on it, I didn't even read it all. Environment: adorable little country style kitchen vibe. Lone customers sitting by the wall reading a newspaper or sipping on coffee. Small group laughing and trying eachothers food. Very much a peaceful family friendly vibe. I got the Reuben, it had a lot of meat but not much else. I tried others' foods and there's was very good! Sorry just don't remember their orders. Chowda: brothy and chunky just the way I like it! read more

Random mini road trip to Newport - got almost there but was starving and drove by Pickles. Ordered the Heart Attack breakfast sandwich and it was phenomenal. Literally 100 times better than DDs and chain breakfast sandwiches. Some reviews mention cash only but they took my debit card. read more

At least three reviewers wrote that this is the best deli on Aquidneck Island ... well, all I can say after trying this place is that y'all need to cross the bridge and try a deli on the mainland. I agree more with the 2-star and 3-star reviews, than the 4-star and 5-star reviews. In my opinion, Pickles is solidly, respectably, decidedly ... average. I'm not in this area often, but had a job nearby on Thursday and used the Yelp app to find this place. Even with GPS, I almost drove past Pickles, which is buried in a strip plaza. The two rows of parking spaces are so close to each other that I feared my work truck would get trapped in, so I parked at the edge of an entrance to the parking lot. I phoned in my to-go order of an Italian grinder; that, plus a bag of chips, set me back just over $9 (I already had a soda). It's a little expensive, especially when you consider that the grinder wasn't that big. It was on a torpedo roll, which was nothing special; it was the kind you could buy at any supermarket ... so were the deli meats in the sandwich. The sandwich contained salami, and what appeared to be black forest ham (a bit of an odd choice for an Italian grinder). And, they sell Utz chips - which are a bargain-basement brand. It felt like I could have easily made an equally good sandwich myself, at home. Actually, the sandwich would have been bland, if not for the awesome balsamic vinegar. I will say the bread and all ingredients were fresh. Oh, and one more thing: I find it very ironic that a deli named Pickles does NOT include a pickle with your sandwich! Instead, you have to pay $1.50 for a pickle. read more

Menu was not clearly listed inside deli, only they're specials were clearly marked. Woman who took my order had a mean looking face on her, understanding it was about 30 mins till closing but still, I patronize small business's rather than a chain like Jimmy John's, appreciate the business. Sandwich was good & that's what really matters here, but service was a tad bit slow, maybe standard for Rhode Island but would never make it in a New York City type setting. read more

Great sandwiches! The food was really good! The service was exceptional! My only gripe is not a single pickle in sight!

Everything tastes homemade, great portions, friendly staff. Prices are very reasonable. Note they are cash and local check only but do have an ATM on site. read more

An amazing sandwich shop that offers a hearty lunch for a low price. This place is a hidden local gem located away from the hustle and bustle of downtown. Upon arriving here you are greeted with a smile and a how can I help you. The very large menu with multiple options allows you to pick and choose how you would like your sandwich/sides. Today I ordered the All American which combined turkey, roast beef, and ham with lettuce, tomato, and cheese. The roll was soft and fresh and well proportioned to the amount of meat and toppings received. A little to much mayo was applied, but next time I'll just specify to go easy on the spread. I would absolutely visit this establishment again. read more

Recently had a brunch for 45 people catered by Pickles Deli. Marco was a tremendous help from beginning (suggestions on menu, total amount of food needed, communication throughout) all the way to the day of the brunch. Everything was delicious and presentation was perfect! So many asked where we had this catered and asked for contact /website information. We had the salmon platter, bagels, fruit salad, pasta salad, mixed sandwich/wrap platters and several quiches. All so good and almost nothing left over at the end of the brunch! (speaks for itself!) Highly recommend! read more

I was looking for a quick lunch before going to the movies in Middletown and chose Pickles-A-Deli based on the yelp reviews and proximity to the theater. Pickles is located in a strip mall on Aquidneck. The menus are located on white boards on the walls, they offer 40+ sandwiches as well as a create your own option, so you can basically get whatever sandwich you can dream of. Sides include a number of different soups, chips and a few different cold pastas. I ordered a chicken pesto panini and my wife got a chicken salad. The staff was very nice and offered her a sample of the chicken salad before ordering (she even told us what local farm the chicken came from). The panini was average at best. The center was a bit cold and could have used another minute or two on the press to heat up like the rest of the sandwich. The chicken salad sandwich was slightly better. The restaurant could use a bit of work. There were some tiles in the corner that were coming up and the windows looked to be on their last leg. While Pickles was OK for a quick lunch, there are better options in the area, I do not plan to return. read more

Nice little deli and soup counter in Middletown. I am new to the area so I was exploring and saw the giant pickle sign and went in hoping for a good sandwich and soup and was not disappointed. It was a Thursday at 1100, so I was surprised by the number of people coming in and out. I was even more surprised that the ladies behind the counter knew most of the patrons by name and were very social. The wife and I had lunch together here, she had the clam chowder, I had a Reuben and the Split Pea and Ham soup. The soups were good, but we have had better at a couple of the other shops around town. I will admit, this is the first place I have been to where there are multiple places to get a good bowl of soup with a large variety. So this is by no means a down check on this place, just this place seems to have a lot of scratch made soup joints. The sandwich was good, a nice thick layer of shaved meat with a good Russian dressing made my sandwich exactly what I was looking for. If you are in the area, I recommend it, based on the clientele, the repeat customer things get the nice "Cheers" style service where they know your name, and I had nothing to complain about here. read more

Rude girl taking orders. Don't ask to change anything on a sandwich without receiving a side of attitude. Sandwiches are mediocre.

Food was alright they were out of chilli at noon. So I ordered clam chowder and it wasn't that hot. Italian sandwich was good but they didn't peel the casing off the capicolla. Last gripe is they all need to put hats or hair nets on when working with food..... read more

We come down here to Newport each summer to visit family, golf, swim and relax. But what I really look forward to is Pickles. Real deli sandwiches, great service and friendly people. If I'm here for a week, I have lunch here at least 4 times. Don't miss it! read more

I'm not one to ever post reviews but I just want to put out there the sandwich that I do not recommend. I ordered the Super Delight, which is the Dawn's Delight but with more turkey, I guess. The sandwich came with no dressing, no olive oil, just plain raw vegetables jam packed in a Syrian pocket that was ripped when I opened the package. First bite I took, the whole sandwich fell apart and was impossible to eat as a sandwich. They put a fork in the bag so maybe they knew this was not sandwich material...? But I'm sure their other sandwiches are fine. I just don't recommend the Super Delight. P.S. photo attached is what the sandwich looked like after one bite. I had to put some mayo and mustard on it from the beach snack bar for it to be edible. read more

I was in town enjoying a great bike ride and decided it was time for a great deli sandwich after working up an appetite! I've never been to Pickles before but as I was driving by the outdoor sign caught my eye so I turned around to see what they had to offer. First, the outside of the building is very clean and inviting, the inside was equally as clean with a cool ambience that promotes a casual setting. The cashier/server was very friendly and nice which made me feel welcomed and appreciated! The Ceaser Wrap I ordered was perfect! It was made with the right amount of dressing, fresh lettuce and I added tomatoes and onions which were fresh as well. I definitely recommend this place if you're in Newport RI and are looking for a great place for lunch. I will definitely be back :-) read more

Terrible service today. I was in earlier than others and watched people order and leave before me. They ordered the same sandwiches but somehow, their orders weee prepared first. I've always been a fair Pickles but that was the old crew. They weee excellent. This new crew is pretty weak. The answer to why my food was late was that they lost my ticket. Menu changed and not as good as before either. Lots of new places to check out, I'll spend my money elsewhere since this new group doesn't care about customer service. read more

Good, solid deli sandwiches. Turkey croissant sandwich was on par. Creamy potato salad. Friendly service.

My husband and I were visiting Newport and needed a place for a quick breakfast and sandwiches for lunch to go. We were headed to the beach for the day. We stumbled upon Pickles. Our breakfast sandwiches (bacon, egg and cheese on English muffins) were the best we ever had. The staff were so friendly and helpful. We went on our way with sandwiches for lunch. We ordered a tuna on rye and the American. Both were delicious. They wrapped them in plastic for our cooler. We would highly recommend this deli. read more

Great stop along to the way to Newport. Awesome sandwich combos: had the turkey wrap with hummus which was delicious and my husband had the turkey wrap with cranberry salsa. Its a CASH only establishment which I understand however who carries cash anymore?!? The staff is over the moon friendly- will be back for sure! read more

Such a great sandwich shop!! I love their SW Club. Reasonable prices and portions generous. Cash only, but they have an ATM.

The young woman at the register is disrespectful. When I went to pick up my sandwiches she turned to the other young women working and made fun of the fact that we ordered pickles on our sandwiches. I'm not a huge fan of high school shame when picking up lunch. The ownership should hire staff that treats its customers with respect. read more

Solid deli located in a strip mall in Middletown. Lots of options to choose from. I went with a Thanksgiving-themed turkey sandwich (with stuffing, gravy, and cranberry sauce, on shredded roast turkey). Sandwich was excellent. Chili was also great. The pickle that came with the sandwich was not that great. However, overall I thought the place was pretty good, especially for the price. I recommend it. read more

I never noticed the "dash A" at the end of pickle's. Maybe it's there, but hard to notice because of the gigantic pickle-wearing-sunglasses logo. Anyway, this place is totally fine. "It's pretty good I guess?" A reasonable deli with a good amount of sandwich options. You know what, dude? They have an "Adam's Special" but it-don-got a DAMNED thing to do with me! It's good though. I've never been all that impressed with the actual pickles oddly enough. Kind of bland and pointless. Kind of like this review. Umm, that's about it. read more

This is a great deli where anyone should be able to find something. The food is great - I recommend the avocado toast with a cup of chowder combo. I do feel the menu board is disorganized and that's my only complaint. There's so much stuff going on that you can't really drill down to what you might want sometimes. Cash only. read more

I love coming to Pickles for a sandwich at lunch time. Their food is made fresh and it is great. The sandwiches are huge so you will not leave hungry! They make a great chicken cutlet for their chicken sandwiches as well. Recently I had the eggplant parm pita and it was very good. They also have a variety of soups available each day in case you want half a sandwich and a bowl of soup. They are cash only, so make sure to plan ahead! read more

Forgettable sandwiches. Ordered 3 of their specialty sandwiches, all just meh. Build your own could be a better way to go. They do not accept credit cards -- had to use the high-fee cash machine in the store to pay. read more
