My husband and I have been coming to Pickles since 2020, and we truly cannot recommend it enough! Does parking present a challenge? Yes. Do they sometimes run out of what we want? Also yes. Is it the best damn pie, making those little cons not even cross our minds? Absolutely. The atmosphere and even waiting in line are somehow part of the fun. We've always ended up making friends with our fellow pie-line buddies, and then we're rewarded with what might just be the best pie of our lives. Very possible! 10/10 pie shop with the sweetest owners. And one of the things I love most is that they source their produce from local farmers. Locals supporting locals is getting harder and harder to find these days, and it's something we genuinely appreciate. We literally drive up from San Diego just to get pie. That's how good it is. 10/10. Would drive for pie again. And again. And again. read more

While living in the high desert I would come here about every two weeks to get a slice of pie and a frozen pot pie to have for special occasions (which was a lot apparently ). Yes there are lines, yes they run out quickly. Its a true gem of a "mom and pop" establishment. If you're expecting perfectly manicured, picturesque instaspace, "influencer" slop then go somewhere else. Addressing the more recent reviewers, if words hurt you that much, then dont patronize this place? If someone being rude ruffles your feathers, does it really warrant a review bomb? I digress, im doing the same but opposite? In short, I come for the dam tasty pies and love of the mountain. If you're really trying to nitpick the world then just stay home. read more

So we decided to stop in here again. It had been five years since our last visit. I am super glad I stopped in. I had the opportunity to visit with Mrs. Pickles and she was just a sweet gem. Although we got there at 11:30 and they had already sold out of all of their full pies and pot pies. They did have a good selection of some sliced pies left. So we ordered a couple slices of blueberry and thyme pie. Wow! What an outstanding pie great texture outstanding taste. It was simply amazing. Mrs. Pickles was very friendly and took time to explain the ordering process how we can call in orders and things like that. I am so glad we came in here and gave it another shot. If you are driving by this little place that looks like out of a storybook stop in you'll be glad you did there. Remember to lineup an hour before they open to get your best selection. Also, while you're there, walk around and look at the amazing job, they did outside the restaurant of planting some sustainable food. They did a wonderful job with their espalier apple tree they started along one side of the building. In addition, it looks like they have a fabulous looking raised bed garden that they've got started. Also, is your walking in? They've done an amazing job setting up sustainable plants and a spectacular looking irrigation system. This time we will be calling in and placing some orders beforehand. Great little shop you have their Mr. and Mrs. Pickles. read more

We are from out of town and showed up at 1:00 pm on a Saturday to a closed shop. We quickly called and left a message and ordered 2 whole pies. The next day, after receiving confirmation, we arrived 15 minutes before opening! There were already 15 people in line! It took us about 20 minutes to get inside this small, but very charming pie shop! We also tacked onto our order 1 slice of the nut pie and a frozen chicken pot pie. The pot pie takes about 90 minutes to bake in the oven but was very delicious! The filling was hearty and the crust was flakey. I shared the pot pie with my husband for lunch and it really satisfied the soul! The portion was enough for the 2 of us. For dessert, we cut into the Apple White Peach pie. The topping was like a cobbler with crunchy granola topping. The crust was buttery and flakey and delicious. Such a yummy dessert! read more

Amazing pies! Be sure to get here before opening because they always sell out very quickly. I came here on a Friday morning, 15 mins before opening and there was already nine people in line. Online Order: They accept online ordering for whole pies only. Whole pies are $40 per. Pot Pies **All of their pot pies are served frozen. You will have to bake these at home. - Chicken Pot Pie 5/5: Savory with a flakey, buttery crust. Chicken was very plump and juicy. - French Onion Pot Pie 3/5: Great crust but it was way too sweet for me. Sweet Pies ($7 per slice) There sweet pies were so good! The crumble and crust on the pies were cooked perfectly. They were not overly sweet. I am not a huge sweets person, so this was perfect for me! - True Love 5/5 - Dutch Apple 5/5 - Mixed Berry 5/5 read more

Looking for the best of Big Bear? You have to try this adorable little pie shop- pies so good that you have to get there early or pre-order because they sell out on the daily! Amazing dessert pies, but don't sleep on the savory options- they also shine. Lovely couple that owns it, friendly and definite pride of ownership. And the littles will love the fairy tale look of the shop read more

Went to Big Bear over the weekend, and passed by this shop. Read reviews and saw that it's a top place. I read the reviews and saw that they sell out fast. We went at 12, and luckily they still had some pies left. We tried pumpkin and chocolate cream. The pies were delicious! We went back the next day and they were only selling whole pies for the holiday, and were sold out. This place is definitely must try. You have to get there early because the pies do run out fast! read more

I love this place. I can't wait until I go back the pies are amazing. And customer service. Is awesome they are so polite and kind. Thank you read more

I sincerely apologize because I cannot for the life of me remember which pies we bought, but they were so delicious that we ate them all in one sitting. I believe we got two pies that were two different berry mixes among other things. My husband wolfed both down because he ate one and loved it so much that he had to eat the other one. Mind you, my husband has grown up eating pies his whole life. His grandma used to make them from scratch all the time when she was still alive. So pies are a very sentimental and favorite food of his. I got the chicken pot pie, absolutely delicious. I'm obsessed with chicken pot pies and this one super hit the spot. Hubs is so very sad that we don't live close to the Pickles at all. We just happened to be in Big Bear on vacation and decided to stop by to grab some pies to take home. Our cousin was with us and got one slice to share with her parents and they ate it all. It wasn't enough. We all wish we had more. We'll definitely be back when we're back in town. Shoutout to Mr & Mrs. Pickles, your love and craft really shows in your food. Mr. Pickles was so nice too! He was taking the orders and tending the register. It's also such a cute little whimsical cottage, I love it! read more

I absolutely love this pie shop. All of their pies are fresh and delicious. The shop is very charming, the owners are wonderful and genuine people who not only deeply care about the product that they are putting out, but care for every customer that comes into their shop. They are also unapologetically themselves and I respect people like that. I have been a customer since they open and the flavors only get better. Pickles pie shop is at the top of my recommendation list and always will be. read more

Do you like pies? Do you like lines? Well, if you answered "yes" to both questions, Pickles is definitely for you. And even if you don't like lines, if you like pies from Pickles, well, get ready to stand in line. No pickle pies here, fortunately or unfortunately, but these are some extraordinary pies, both sweet and savory. Need to know: call a day ahead and pick up your pies the following day. These guys sell out their pies. At least 20 or 30 people--all of whom stood in line for an hour or so--were turned away BY NOON on the day of our visit because they had not ordered ahead. So use that device in your hand for what it was born to do: call a day ahead or be prepared to be very disappointed. Also: whether you called ahead or not, you must stand in the crazy long line that extends into the parking lot. Walk-ins and those who ordered ahead all stand in the same line. That's the way it goes, folks. We tried the caramel pumpkin pie and it was spiced perfectly and not too sweet. The crust looked hard and boring but it was delectable. This was a very, very good pie. We also tried the chicken pot pie and the Humble (French onion soup) pie. Both had an amazing crust. They were both fantastic. The Humble one is very unique and tastes just like French onion soup. They are also very large and shareable. These pies are pricey and you must stand in a long line to get them. And they are absolutely worth the price and the effort. Delicious. read more

Absolutely the best pie I've ever had. I live in Florida, and i make it a point to go up the mountain anytime I'm in California. The owners and employees are absolute gems. You can tell there's love and genuine care and talent that goes into every pie. Absolutely make it a point to visit here when you're in Big Bear. You won't be disappointed. read more

Homemade pies! Great fruit combinations and a crust that is addictive. So yummy! Doors are closed when there are no more pies to sell. . Love the sweet pie makers too! Pickles is part of the Big Bear City small town culture, genuine and authentic. Early bird gets the pie! read more

Pies are meh, customer service is in the toilet. Owner seems to have a chip on his shoulder Update: Upgrading my review from 1 to 2 stars. The owner responded to my review - with an insult, but hey, that's dedication. The man's out here elbow-deep in dough, and he still made time to personally put me in my place. Respect. Most owners ignore bad reviews. This one hunts you down. Bold strategy read more

ARRIVE EARLY if you want pie! I stopped by the shop at noon on a Saturday, only 1.5 hours after Pickles opened at 10:30am, and there were only 2 pieces of pie left! Luckily the couple in front of me only ordered one, so I was able to get the last piece of the day. Bourbon Pear would not have been my top choice, but it was amazing! The bourbon flavor shined through without being overbearing, and the pears were the perfect compliment. This may be my go-to flavor now! The interior is much smaller than appears on the outside, it's just a narrow hallway that leads to a cabinet of pies and an ordering counter. read more

Best chicken pot pie! Brought this home on Saturday and baked it this evening for dinner. I have tried CPP at other places but they pale in comparison to this pie! Took 1 hour 45 minutes to bake. At the end it was bubbling, dark and smelled so good. I used their pro tip to vent and let it rest for 10 minutes. Transferred the pie to my plate and off I went to savor this pie! The gravy was aromatic and I could taste the herbs, crust was crispy and flaky, chicken was succulent. Plenty of veggies and chicken inside. Thank you for putting out such a quality product. read more

Omg! Finally tried this place up the street from my house. We got there by 10:15a (15min before opening) and were able to get our picks of slices. Pretty good for Easter weekend. Be prepared to wait and don't expect to come in and out. One day we showed up right when they opened and there was a line and 2 of the berry pies were sold out! We did try the mixed berry, which was more on the tarty side. Our favorites were salted honey pot custard, pickle's key lime, dutch apple, and chocolate cookie crumble cream! The pictures don't do them justice, the crust is flaky and the custard in the pies just make it delicious. Came for 2 straight days and have to hold ourselves back from coming back! read more

I would highly recommend going here! I came at open and got the Dutch apple, farmers basket, and the Cherry apple Pie. I really enjoyed all of the pie, the flavors were great and it was nice knowing that everything was fresh. The store is a bit small and the line can be a bit longer as they only have 2 workers at the store, but I must say it is worth it. Parking can be a bit tough to find and I saw people park in all sorts of ways but it is definitely doable. I think a lot of people do pre-order but I did not research how. I think they do have a facebook page where you can see their pies for the next day, which is how I know right away what I wanted. They do sell out quite quickly so if you get there, they might not have all the pies that you want. The store's ambiance itself was quite nice too. It was small and there was a large menu on the left that is updated constantly. Overall, I would highly recommend coming here! read more

Not enough inventory. Showed up EARLY and they were out. After reading all the negative Yelp reviews and reading the owners very unprofessional, ghastly responses to those reviews, I would not recommend this business for lack of selection and rude customer service. The owner's responses to customers is obnoxious. After I posted this review, the business owner Samuel replied very brash. What terrible public relations and the utmost of unprofessional insulting customers on the internet. Read the 1 star reviews and the owners replies, it's nauseating that someone like this even works with the public in today's competitive marketplace. What a complainer he is and replies to me that he works 18 hours a day, but the shop is only open 10:30-2. The owner is just inappropriate and he boasts he has been in the hospitality business for years--although, he's not very hospitable. I also noticed his comments mentioning several times (and they promote in their advertising) that they cook with "love." Ha! Ha! Ha! I wouldn't go here again to experience Pickles Pie Shop's kind of hospitality, the owner's behavior is juvenile and appalling. In Big Bear, Teddy Bear Restaurant makes delicious pies without an arrogant attitude. read more

This might be the greatest pie ever. I am a pie lover, for me the quality of the crust makes or breaks a pie. These people have made a welcoming business and are true masters of all things pie. I have been intending to leave a review for this place for a while, we stop in Big Bear often and when we can manage to stop here we do. Amazing! read more

Amazing pies. Just get there early!!! Definitely going to pre order for next time. Easily the best pie I've ever had.

We live in running springs and every time we have visitors we make a special trip to big bear to get a pie or three. Always so kind and we appreciate that they are accepting of everyone on a mountain that can sometimes feel like the 1960s with how people treat others who look or live differently from themselves. Keep on keeping on Ms. Pickles and Mr. Pickles. We love you! read more

One of the most incredible local shop in the San Bernardino mountains and of course here in Big Bear serving up the most amazing pies you will ever have. The owners are some of the most caring individuals and make everything from scratch and with love. read more

Discovered this amazing pie shop through a friend. I'm an LA native but will absolutely make it up the hill for one single slice!

Highly recommend this place! read more

We're heading up to our property next weeknd and fingers crossed that Pickles doesn't sell out before we get there. They have the best pies we've ever had. One slice is enough to share. Love this family business !! read more

The most amazing dessert! Their pies are the best we've ever had. They're so good that we just drove 2 hours each way yesterday from Orange County to Pickles Pie Shop to buy ourselves the best dessert pie for our wedding anniversary celebration. Worth every minute on the road! Pickles has the best customer service! They went above and beyond to make our absolute fav, Apple Strawberry Rose, and even wrote a sweet message on the box. I can't recommend them enough. When you're in town, or even when you're not!, give this amazing couple a try. You'll love their homemade, buttery, fresh pies!! read more

We ordered pot pies for dinner and a couple slices for desert.. Well that was too much food but we ate it because it was so amazing. The people are so kind and patient. We didn't yet know to reserve in advance but they had so left and were happy to accomodate. The building is so cute. The first thing our real estate agent said when we started looking up here was - you gotta get a pie from Pickle's. She was right. You gotta! read more

My gosh the pies here are on another level. We got 4 slices of pies: dutch apple, mixed berry, old fashioned pecan, pistachio macadamia pecan and 2 chicken pot pies. The mixed berry was my favorite with blue berries that held their texture and a jam that was perfectly gooey. Surprisingly they weren't too sweet or heavy, easily devoured a slice. The crust was scrumptiously savory. As for the pot pies, 90 minute cook time in the oven but the vegetables were a perfect texture. Would get both again. Service was friendly, interior was cute and quaint. We came on Wednesday 15 minutes before opening and there was only 1 person there (though they did take the last of two pies, bummer! Not sure if there's less quantity on Wednesday) and 4-5 parties after we left. read more
