    Meat case
    Emmy L.

    Nice deli, very friendly staff. Plenty of seating options with quick service. I had a BBQ pulled pork sandwich on sourdough, the meat was delicious and the sourdough bread was great - I personally prefer pulled pork on a bun, but that's neither here nor there. Overall solid choice for lunch.

    Grilled ham and cheese.

    This location is as good as the downtown St. Louis location. I was thrilled to find this one so close to our appointment and it did not disappoint

    I was starving and didn't want any of the cafeteria food at work. I've heard a few co workers in the past talk about this place. I went a little after they opened and I decided on ordering a pickles club sandwich and sour cream kettle chips. The staff was friendly and the wait for my food wasn't log ( about 10 mintues). The place is clean and well organized. The sandwich was amazing and tasted really well. I wish I would have grabbed some mayo or mustard since the avocado spread was the only thing on the sandwich but other than that this was pretty tasty. Will be back to try more sandwich. As always until next time...

    Sandwiches were good. There is outdoor seating area so you can bring your dog and sit outside on a nice day. Got our food pretty fast.

    Great place to stop for lunch! Quick and easy order process-- love that you can order online ahead. Great seating available. Will be back if in the area.

    Pastrami on Marble Bread
    Vivienne C.

    Been wanting to try Pickles Deli for awhile, so was very excited to finally get the opportunity to try it. The store was pretty packed for a Saturday lunch, but the food got to our table very quickly. I ordered a Pastrami on Marble Bread and it was pretty good. The woman at the cash register said that their pastrami was voted the best in St. Louis which I'm not quite sure about, but it was pretty good nonetheless. I appreciate that it wasn't super heavy on the meats and that there were a lot of sauerkraut and different types of cheeses to balance it out. Also, the ingredients weren't overflowing enough so that the bread wouldn't catch all of it which now in hindsight maybe is a bad thing because you would want more ingredients in the sandwich. This is like the opposite of the pastrami at Carl's Deli where there is so much meat the sandwich begins to burst. Overall, pretty good deli although not the best pastrami in St. Louis in my opinion but would come back to try their other hot sandwiches.

    Breakfast Sandwich (Eggs, Bacon, Onions, Green Peppers, Provolone on French Bread)
    Steven P.

    Stopped in for early lunch last Thursday while in STL for appointments knowing nothing about this spot...super impressed though! The sammy's were outstanding and everyone working seemed happy and pleasant! We tried multiple different sandwiches and all of them were crazy good! My only slight knock was just a bit too loud on the music...could have also been because it was early morning but I felt few notches down would have helped the ambiance a bit!

    French Dip Sandwich
    Yupeng L.

    Been here twice and I have to say my impression is pretty average. During my most recent visit, I ordered the French dip sandwich. I will say, the sandwich itself tasted great - the beef was juicy and well-seasoned. However, a common theme among my visits (and the pictures on the menu) is portion size. Most of the sandwiches appear to fall on the smaller end. Even the meatball sub is nowhere close in size to what you'd get at a chain like Subway or Jimmy Johns. Given the sandwiches alone are $11, without drink or sides, I'd expect better portion sizes to justify the price. The value here is slightly better than Panera, but just barely so. Service was fast. Overall, the quality of the sandwiches here are actually decent. For the price, I wish the portions were larger.

    Philly Cheesesteak
    John S.

    This place is in my neighborhood, and since I've been living here for three years, I figured I should try it. I am sorry I waited!! I ordered the Philly Cheesesteak, chips and an iced tea. Oh and a cheesecake brownie. The sandwich was very tasty. I think they could get a better chip selection. The brownie was on the gooey side, which I like, but know others don't. The staff was friendly and helped me decide between the Reuben and the Philly Cheesesteak. This place also serves breakfast which looks good! I'll have to try that soon!

    Gyro Sandwich   @hybrideater
    Zach H.

    Go to pickles deli for all your sandwich needs. Fresh made and ready to take on the road. The gyro wrap was mighty tasty. Loved the meat and bread. Wish they put more meat on tho! Would be awesome! Can't wait to try other menu items here.

    Specialty chips.
    Michael S.

    I have this annoying quirk where I sometimes walk into a restaurant that specializes in something--like bar-b-que---and end up ordering an item that's not their specialty, such as a chicken fried pork chop. Or, I go into a terrific hamburger place and choose fish and chips. The results are predictable: dissatisfaction with my choices. Today, I went to Pickles and rather than order a deli staple like a Reuben, a Cuban, or a pastrami sandwich I walked out with a gyro. Now, it wasn't a bad gyro but it didn't dazzle like those from Mediterranean restaurants. Pickles might be a five-star spot. I'll have to return to find out. Pickles offers friendly, helpful staff and a smallish dining room. Paid parking on the street is at a premium on this popular West End street.

    Half of our turkey Reuben with the kraut on the side.
    Tink R.

    Loved our sandwich, chips, Mtn. Dew (!), and Blonde Brownie. Everything was fresh and tasty...hot if it was supposed to be, cold if it was supposed to be...and the service was quite congenial! Hopefully we'll be back on another trip through St. Louis!

    Create your own: pretzel bun, turkey, Swiss and avocado spread! Side of pasta salad.

The potato wedges are GF!!! The one and only downside to the grits was that they stopped being creamy and was more polenta-cakey only a few minutes after it got to the table, but honestly, did not mind at all. The dining room is eclectic, like visiting someone's Spanish villa's reading room. Really enjoyed it and will be back to try other dishes!

    Upon being seated at the Crow's Nest yesterday, we were informed that the deep fryer wasn't working…read moreand that, because we were a group of more than eight, we would not be allowed to split our checks and would be charged an automatic gratuity. Not only were we not granted an exception on the checks as consolation for not being able to order french fries, there was no indication that this had even occurred to our server. This is precisely the level of temerity we need to inculcate in young women in our society, and I'd encourage her to apply for a job at the women's-only sports bar a few doors down if and when it ever opens. It'd be tragic if she wasn't there if and when I return, but I'd appreciate the fact that she has a greater mission. Hopefully, the deep fryer is working. It being out of commission naturally limited the number of things on the menu we could order. We were only told that we couldn't order anything that required a deep fryer, not given a modified menu or anything. I started going through each item and imagining how it might be prepared, but I couldn't muster the psychological bandwidth to continue. Hit my Cash App if you appreciate the amount of unpaid emotional labor I was compelled to contribute. It occurred to me that I might just get a burger and a side salad, but then I saw that they carry a club sandwich. I love a good club sandwich, and I figured it might make for a light, refreshing alternative, given the weather. There's an option to get a cup of soup for $1.50 extra as a side with your sandwich (no, they didn't offer to eat the charge), and I figured that might go well with my sandwich. I was kicking myself when they brought out someone else's order with the side salad. It looked really good. The Frisco Burger, or whatever they're calling it, looked good too. Meanwhile, the BBQ Beef & Cheddar Soup--the soup du jour (that's French), according to Flo--looked gross, like something your dog might cough up. But damn it was good! It was more beef than anything else. A large bowl of it might actually be too much food. (I'd still eat it, natch.) The overall flavor profile was along the lines of a good french onion soup. It was a reminder that I need to be ordering soup in restaurants more often. I wish the club sandwich was cut into little triangles and fanned out on the plate in some elaborate configuration, like at a place where rich old ladies have lunch, but I guess that wouldn't have been in keeping with the theme. Instead, it was served on the world's thickest Texas toast, with the world's dullest steak knife protruding from its center. This sounds like hyperbole, but I may have honestly been served the equivalent of half a loaf of bread. It was much more bread than I required, but at least it was fresh and delicious, as were all the other ingredients. Turkey used for sandwiches is almost never remarkable, but this was surprisingly great, as good as anything you'd get served as an entree unto itself. Nothing about this place suggests that it would have such good food, but it just goes to show you can't judge a book by its cover. The decor, the overall vibe and the lack of hospitality might not be for everyone, but don't let that deter you.

    Songbird is the Dolly Parton of St. Louis breakfast: bigger stage, brighter lights, same voice…read more I've followed this operation since it was a sandwich pop-up at the Tower Grove Farmers' Market, through the brick-and-mortar in The Grove, and now into its larger home in Tower Grove South. The quality has not wavered once. I ordered what I always order: The Combo (fried eggs, maplewood smoked bacon, cheese, brioche toast), extra egg, extra bacon. Most kitchens treat a fried egg as binary (runny or ruined). Songbird has mastered the middle register: lacy edges with a yolk that stays glossy and intact right up until the first bite. I ordered them over hard, and they came out a bit closer to over medium, but they were just as good as I wanted them to be. The bacon carries real smoke. This is a decadent sandwich, big enough that half of it would make a light breakfast; I wasn't remotely hungry after one, the second half was indulgent. The service made the move too. The hostess still recognizes returning customers, and the bigger room finally lets the dining experience breathe. The service at the table could have been a little warmer as we've had it the past, but it is still professional. I was there with two close college buddies, one of whom declared his latte excellent. I keep meaning to get adventurous with the menu, but it is genuinely hard to find a bacon, egg, and cheese toasted this perfectly, and I'd go twice in one day if given the opportunity. 4.8 A full five arrives the day when I can arrive first thing on a Saturday without a 30 minute wait, honestly, it's hard to get a reservation here because of its popularity. Good for them. Cheers to you, Songbird. Dolly would be proud

I wanted my toast's jam to be on the side and they said no. It was a thick tasteless brick without the jam. The items are not as traditional for a breakfast spot, and when I asked the server what they were known for she said the drinks.... They also run a tight turnaround time so they will make you feel uncomfortable when its time to clear your table and pay the bill because they will tell you the next reservation is in 5minutes. The plates were all different and my guest who got a sandwich had her food come out in a plastic fry basket instead of the nicer plates. Odd. As I mentioned earlier, they are not kid friendly as they don't have a kids menu or kid friendly items like fruit and pancakes. We ordered a side of avocado and chicken sausage as those were the safest for us. Also there are no changing tables in the restrooms. Accessibility note: the entrance is a giant multi-slope and 1 turn ramp into a cramped lobby. The men's restroom is the only one on the main floor and female restroom is tucked far in the backroom inaccessible due to a steep step in the back. It is not wheelchair or walker friendly.
