Served at a UC luncheon gathering & as my sandwich was being plated, I spotted a long hair coming out from between the bread. Lost my appetite at that point. Also, no drinks served with the meal in a location that only offered soda from a lone vending machine (water in plastic bottles was sold out). Could have had a much better lunch elsewhere for $18. read more

Great food, great team, and solid menu. Yelp makes you write more, but it's just a solid place.

The chicken salad sandwich here is my favorite. It's seriously the best of all time! I get it at least once a week. read more

The Pickled Pig - Chicken salad sandwich - Sandwiches Near Me - Cincinnati, Ohio

I have been meaning to write this for awhile now, but kept forgetting to so here I am after three visits with nothing but good things to say about this place. And that was three times in two weeks which is unheard of for me. I like to try a ton of places but they kept offering good food. My suggestion is to go there and try the Pork Burger. It's, to me, their main staple dish that blows all other burgers out the water. I also suggest the Turkey Ruben, Black Bean Soup, Matzo Ball Soup, and whatever else they have on special. The ONE knock I have is that I didn't care for the chicken salad, but that is more of a personal thing I have on them in general. It wasn't bad tasting or poorly made, but just not for me. I have also bought their cup because I am a fan not only of the food but of the staff as well. read more

Found this spot on Yelp while visiting Cincinnati. Needed a hearty sandwich for lunch on a bitterly cold day. The man who helped us was inviting, informative, & kind. I ordered the special Cubano & walnut & pear danish. My daughter ordered the grilled cheese & black & white cookie. We ended up splitting sandwiches. Both were delicious! Got an order of chicharons to go. I look forward to my next trip so I can visit The Pickled Pig again! read more

I loved my lunch here, the Pork Burger and a side of Chicken Salad. The potato bun, kim chee, pork and seasoning were a delicious combination. I went back for a quart of the chicken salad because my wife loves a good recipe. The smoke on the chicken was great with the dill and she really enjoyed it all week. The owner is a very nice guy with a lot of experience, and it shows in their atmosphere and food. Thanks for the great food at the great new lunch stop in the Queen City! read more

I can't say enough about this most interesting menu I've seen in a while! Trout dip, smoked meats, the pickle boar which boasts chef's choice pickled veggies. Speaking of veggies there's options for those that don't eat pork or meat! I'm taking the trout dip home for a late snack! They also host a great deli case with fun salad options! read more

Literally pickled/vinegar everything.. It was our first time here, not sure what to compare the meals to but it's not bad. I think my friends expected it to be a bbq pork place as they chose it, I'm glad they're known for their smoked turkey sandwich lol I'm not a fan of pork haha Anyhow I would've been good with two pickles on their front counter. It's real huge and satisfying. We ordered smoked turkey sandwich, grill cheese and pulled pork sandwich and wings. Before ordering, you have to really read the menu to see what's in your order. Every sandwich has an acquired pickly taste as some of us had to learn the hard way hah. This is definitely a place where I'd tell ppl to check it out but if they were to ask if I'd try it again, I'd come for the pickles only and again it's not bc the food is bad. The sandwiches were good, but not for me to order once a week. It's an acquired taste that I have to get use to but I'll definitely recommend this to many ppl to check out bc they might love it. read more

This place is absolutely amazing. They do all their own pickling and all their own butchering. I went there with a friend and they even had pretty good wine which I didn't expect. We had The Pinot Project Pinot Noir and it killed with my burger. The flavor of the meat was amazing and the kimchi topping was perfect. If you're down that way it's definitely worth checking out. The young woman behind the counter was very patient and explained everything to me as it was my first time there. read more

Man, my experience at The Pickled Pig was so good, I'm not even sure where to start. This place is so charming and the owner was delightful. We had a great conversation about food in Cincinnati including insights into their process and where they source their delicious ingredients. They obviously take so much care in doing things ethically and right. I had the pickle boat and pork burger, and I could not be more pleased with my selections. The pickle boat had a selection of four pickles that were all unique and incredibly delicious. But then the pork burger - HOLY MOLY. So full of flavor and umami. It was topped with Gouda and house made kimchi which were the perfect complement to this moist delicious pork patty. It was hands down the best meal I had in Cincinnati by a long shot. As a previous reviewer stated, this sandwich is going to haunt me. I need this sandwich to be in Louisville and am sad I'll have to wait until my next trip to eat it again. read more

The owners are pork gurus and are simply just nice pleasant people! Their menu may be limited, but their execution is perfect and they keep things interesting by having daily specials each day. I've tried their pork belly, pulled pork, pork loin and smoked turkey sandwich. All were phenomenal. They make delicious meats and pair it with awesome quality bread, HELLO BLUE OVEN. All components of their sandwich have been cooked and seasoned well. If they ever have a pork belly sandwich you MUST order this item. The pork belly was perfectly seasoned, crispy on the outside as well as juicy and tender in the inside. This is the best pork belly I have EVER tried (not only in Cincinnati) and I hope to some day be able to try it again (hint: If someone from The Pickled Pig is reading this please make it a permanent menu item). Now if you don't like sandwiches don't worry. They consistently have different soup options available (my favorite is the black bean soup) and a ton of wonderful sides. Their potato salad, beat salad, hummus and baklajan are all once again FANTASTIC. I encourage you to try it all. I love this place and am very happy it is located in a convenient location for me to go to. It is definitely a gem in Walnut Hills that is a must visit. They also have recently extended their hours to 7 pm during the week, so you can now stop there to grab some bites for dinner as well! P.S. If you are a dog lover and love to spoil your dog child, they sell pork bones in their fridge. My dog loved it and I highly recommend their product. Yes, I have a problem and buy things for my dog everywhere I go, so when a restaurant has dog related items for sale they even score more points on my I LOVE YOU scale. read more

The Pickled Pig is gooooddd! It is different than what I would consider a regular deli sandwich. This is steps above that. Their flavor profiles and use of fermented veggies is what makes their sandwiches pop! I had been wanting to try The Pickled Pig for some time and finally got the change to do so for lunch with my husband. I am happy I did. The food was delicious and the service was good. They have seating inside as well as a large outdoor patio out back. We sat outside and ate as the day we went was nice. They are known for their fermented vegetables. They are flavorful and have a good crunch. We tried the Fermented Boat, the Korean Carrots and the Apple & Beet Salad. The Fermented Boat is a sample of three of the chef's choice of fermented veggies. We had peas, carrots & eggs, and beets. They were all good. The Korean Carrots were my favorite. They were sour with a little pop of sweet. I liked it. They also had the perfect crunch. The Apple & Beet salad was also good. It had a little more sweetness, I assume from the apples. Along with fermented veggies, we had two of their sandwiches which was the Pork Burger and the Smoked Turkey. Both were very good and had their fermented veggies on them. The burger had kimchee and the smoked turkey had sauerkraut. Both sandwiches had one or two other ingredients so they were simple but full of flavor. My favorite was the Smoked Turkey. The sandwich was an elevated turkey sandwich and the bread was toasted oh so perfectly. It had a crunch and all when you bit into it. Overall, I really enjoyed The Pickled Pig!! It is different from your regular deli sandwiches as far as quality and flavor profiles. If you like trying new things and you like fermented veggies, this place is for you. If you are someone that likes what you like and trying something new isn't for you and you don't like fermented veggies, I wouldn't suggest this for you. read more

Sorry I've not been here sooner!! We ordered the turkey sandwich and pastrami, along with a pickle plate. Holy $hit, literally not a damn thing wasn't pure FIRE!!! Impressed by the food quality, care in preparation, layers of flavor and flat out dynamic eats. After we ate the owner chatted with us and you can clearly see how he leaves no stone unturned and puts tremendous care, attention and enthusiasm into this place. We will be back, and I'm looking forward to it tremendously Best sandwiches we have had in many many years, literally raised the bar not just notches but YARDS. Do not sleep on the Pickles Pig! read more

Sides had an authentic Eastern Euro flavor and had to be healthy as heck for you. Would be good for catered events when you want something unique. The pork patty was good, not as thick or flavorful as I was expecting, would have probably liked it with a bbq sauce that they might have available. read more

Great hospitality and ambience. The people were great. This is definitely local and original food, although a little pricey, in my opinion . read more

Some of the best sandwiches and delicatessen you'll find in the city. It's a bit off of the beaten path but it's well worth the short drive to Walnut Hills. Everything is made fresh, to-order (you get to watch them prepare it). I've only ever ordered from the Specials board, which I recommend, so I always get something new and exciting. Their namesake, Pickles, are also top notch. As are the small selection of pickled items for both humans and humans best furry friends. They have a great back patio with a smoker for the warmer months as well. Go in, order the special, enjoy. read more

WOW. To be fair, I have never been to the restaurant, but I ran into the delightful owner of this place selling her wares at a local craft fair. Today. Let that inform you of my urgency in putting in this review. We bought three things, the kimchee pickles, the caraway sauerkraut, and the muffuletta mix. We opened the first two immediately and made a sausage plate. These two items are truly transcendent. The kimchee pickles are a beautifully balanced spicy addition to just about anything- there are no more, but no worries, she recommended that we keep the juice to marinade with. I don't even like sauerkraut. THIS. THIS. is flavorful and not sour in the way you generally get. It's fresh and crisp and complementary without being overpowering. I will make an occasion to eat this. My typical mode is "light sauerkraut, only on dishes where it's specifically expected". I will absolutely be back as these two items are now staples for us- we'll try the muffuletta spread soon and report back. Thank you for doing City Flea! read more

Amazing food! Everything made in house. My husband said his burger was the best he'd had in forever and he loved the house made bun and pickles. I had the smoked turkey and it was fabulous. The homemade sauerkraut and Russian dressing was so fresh. Friendly staff and great atmosphere for a relaxing lunch. read more

The food is exceptional - innovative without being too precious. The menu isn't huge. Nevertheless, it's hard to choose what to get because you want to try something new, but whatever you got last time was so good you want that again, too. read more

This review is going to be very short and very simple. Been wanting to try this eatery for a while and now I have. Got there right after opening so I could chat to the nice folks. Meeting the owner, Gary and the super nice young lady(Sheila?, geez I hope so...) and talking a little history. They opened three years ago. The area is a booming area for multi unit apartments so a big win for them. The food? I asked Gary to make me his favorite and he suggested the Pork Burger and the Sweet Sour Stew. The aroma ruminating from the bag as I drove my 39 miles home was unbearable. The Pork Burger was sausage patty, kimchi and Gouda on a potato bun and it was incredible but... more incredible was the Sweet & Sour Stew... I'm craving more as I type this. Imagine the best sweet and sour soup, matched with kimchi and sow cooked chunks of beef. OMG!!! Don't walk, run over and get this stew now. Thank me later. Or not? Either way I'm rather confident you'll be pleased. Support the local stores is the way to go. Drop by, tell Gary that Dean sent you. read more

i loved pulled pork and chicken. my concern is that my first experience here is that all i tasted in the chicken and pickle was vinegar and brine. I'm not saying that's bad. i was just hoping to taste something more. i really liked the roasted potatoes, and yhe chicken was tasty the 2nd day. I had the beet and apple salad. aside from it being just sweet enough, the dill was just slightly overpowering. i would DEFINITELY come back and try other menu items, but i do like the place and staff. read more

I just came across this place on Facebook. It had pig in the name so I knew I had to try it. We visited because we saw the Facebook post for a special sandwich of the day, the Cuban. We arrived about two p.m. and they were out. It's sold out! They buy two pigs locally and use them until they are gone and then order two more. The bread is fresh baked loaves of bread that they slice to order. There's lots of pickled veggies and sides along with Kubotcha drinks and speaking water. They even have their own brand of probiotic drinks. Everything was fantastic! The people are nice, it's clean all the food taste amazing. It's a husband and wife team that run the business. It's truly Cuban food. That black bean soup was wonderful and with just the right spicy kick. I expected my turkey sandwich to come on a croissant according to previous photos, but it was a dick bread with crista ends with caraway seeds in it, maybe a rye. The smoked turkey salad as a side was very tasty, not too creamy with a little crunch from apples and veggies with a smokey flavor from the turkey, I loved it as well. San Pellagrino sparkling water was so crisp and accompanied the sandwich well. It was so clean and refreshing. The menu is short and sweet, no confusion. I can't wait to try it again. What a wonderful and different experience! read more

This little piggy and pickle joint is giving me life! The sandwiches on the regular menu (pork burger and rueben) are consistently tasty and the daily specials are always good as well. Even the deli salads don't disappoint - especially the potato salad. read more

One of the best sandwiches I've had in a long time!!! The environment, staff, and food is all top notch! The smoked turkey sandwich on rye is killer, a must get. The pork burger with kimchi was also really good, on a challah bun. They sell their kimchi and other in house made pickles in the store, and they are incredible. The place is hip, modern, and welcoming. A great spot for a quick lunch. Give this place some love and enjoy the food! read more

This is the real deal! Delicious, creative fresh/warm food, featuring house pickled/fermented ingredients. Great cold deli salads also. While the 'service' and 'ambiance' are terrific (informal, warm, welcoming), it seems safe to say that the owner/staff would rightly all agree that service and ambiance are important only to the extent that they allow a focus on the fantastic food. And that they do. read more

The opening of this restaurant has been hyped up by Landlocked (the bar across the street) for a while now so when I saw that they had finally opened, I made it a point to stop in for lunch. I was able to pull up to a parking spot right in front of the restaurant but I would imagine that on a busier day, I would have to park on one of the side streets on E.Mcmillan and walk down. When I walked in there was several customers in various stages of ordering, receiving food and eating. I sat down at the bar because I planned to pick up my food and take it home. I was not greeted by either of the two employees( one of them turned out to be the owner, Gary) but menus were readily available so I didn't have trouble figuring out what to eat. Eventually Gary came over to me and I placed my order for the pork burger with kimchee and a side of spicy carrots. The menu here is extremely limited and just doesn't really fit my tastes. I really wanted to give it a try and the pork burger was fresh and flavorful but I don't think I would return unless they added new things to the menu. The concept is cute but for me it just wasn't what I would turn to for food in the neighborhood. I did read online that they do sell their pickled vegetables so I actually would consider buying a jar of kimchee or pickled carrots if I needed it for a recipe at home so that I could still support a local business. read more

A tasty little gem. I ordered the smoked turkey and pork burger. The smoked turkey was delicious! It tasted like a Reuben but instead of corned beef it had smoked turkey. Everything appeared to be made with fresh house made ingredients. I didn't get a chance to taste the pork burger due to my cohort inhaling it. Beautiful little shop and friendly staff. read more

Such a great addition to the Walnut Hills area! I love how Pickled Pig incorporates local and unique flavors into each dish. I bought their Kimchi and am a huge fan! They have juices and other Kimches available for purchase as well. They have a great outdoor patio as well as a deli case so you can buy things in bulk. You can tell that they used the freshest ingredients in all their dishes. I will definitely be back to try out more! read more
