    If you're a lover of all things pickle, the toasted pickle is your heaven! You feel like you belong as soon as you as you walk in. They greet you with a free pickle shot. Food was all amazing and definitely will fill you up. Portions are HUGE! It was quiet when we went. Must try if you love pickles!

    Stopped by a couple of weekends ago for an app and a drink and we are so glad we did! We entered the restaurant and were greeted right away by a super nice guy who directed us on how to order. We decided to head upstairs and check out the menu and order with our phones as downstairs was hopping. The restaurant is super cute with lots of stuff to look at. Laid back vibe with plants and decor. We sat at a high top with comfy chairs. I ordered a glass of sparkling rose- delicious! And the pickle poppers. Now- I didn't really know what to expect but omg...order these!! A pickle wrapped in an egg roll type wrapper with pimento cheese and fried served with this outrageous creamy dill sauce!? It's been a few weeks and I'm still thinking about them! Can't wait to go back and try some other menu items. Awesome spot!

    Now this is based off my experience at the other location. I was highly disappointed! We were the only ones there and my food was cold. I had the green goddess and it was super greasy. Idk just wasn't what i remembered it to be. The waffle fries are not worth $10. They were cold also. They were friendly when we walked in and explained everything. This restaurant is a lot bigger than the other location. Definitely cute place.

    The Toast Pickle seems like a strange place to visit if you don't care for pickles. In fact, I may have come here a while ago if I had simply figured out to order and "hold the pickle"! We checked Yelp and studied the menu and headed up to Rockford for hopefully a good lunch. I was surprised to see The Toasted Pickle located in the same space that used to house an old favorite, "Ramona's Table". In fact, we were upset when they moved from East Grand Rapids to Rockford making it a longer drive for us. That was short lived as we probably ate at Ramona's a couple times a month. At The Toasted Pickle, you can order at the counter or scan a QR code at your table. Your order will then be delivered to you. In as much as I often customize, I ordered at the counter. My French Dip sandwich was really, really good. I ordered it without cheese and of course, no pickle. Meat was tasty, au jus was a perfect addition and the lightly toasted ciabatta garlic butter roll was the perfect anchor both structurally and taste-wise for this masterpiece. My wife ordered the Nashville Hottie. I'm a sucker for a great Nashville type chicken sandwich but I knew she would give me a taste or two so I stuck with the French Dip. There is no doubt I will order a Nashville Hottie on my next visit. Chicken rivaled some of the best I've enjoyed in Nashville. This sandwich is served topped with cole slaw and wonderful sauces and pickles on a brioche bun. I'm happy to see this location is home to another very good restaurant. Well worth the 34 mile round trip drive.

    White Pine Cheesecake

    The atmosphere is cozy. Not a huge place, but it's comfortable. I like the green theme, it fits with the pickle name. I Ordered the Monte Cristo ($12). Maybe I went into this expecting too much after hearing how great this place is. I was highly disappointed in this sandwich. The French Toast bread was very ehh. The meat and cheese inside was good, not necessarily great. The worst part for me was the Raspberry Sauce. I just did not like it. I also ordered a side of Sweet Potato Waffle Fries ($6). A little pricey, but there was a decent amount of them. O thought they were a little too salty, but otherwise good. I order a Raspberry Lemonade ($6). Again a little Pricey, but it was excellent. Definitely in my top 3 of Lemonade's. Lastly I got a piece of White Pine Cheesecake with Caramel sauce ($5). This may be the 1st cheesecake that at the worst a just very ehh and is instead just not good, almost horrible. I ended up throwing it away. The taste itself was just odd and the texture of it was wierd. The service was absolutely excellent. Everyone who brough my food out was very friendly. Overall a subpar experience for me. It all rounds out for me to a 3 star review. Would I return? Probably not. Maybe I just ordered the wrong thing.

    The French Dip
    Danny S.

    Hark, good folk of Rockford! Attendeth to mine words, for verily I bring tidings of a feast most splendid at the Toasted Pickle! Methinks, upon this eve, the stars did align in culinary favor, and my family--my daughter, my son, and I--did venture forth to this quaint establishment. The French dip, a savory delight, graced our tongues, whilst my son, bold as a knight, partook of the Bacon Jam Burger, its sizzling allure irresistible. Lo, we didst order the Dilly Deal, a bounty of seasoned fries and a quaffable drink. Verily, the fries were as golden as King Midas' treasure, and we feasted upon them with gusto. So plentiful were they that even the combined might of our trio couldst not vanquish both portions; nay, we left half unconquered, like noble warriors sparing their strength for the morrow's battle. But hark! A revelation! I, too, didst seek a companion for my fries--a side of Pimento Cheese, rich and tangy, to dip and savor. Verily, it was a match made in culinary Valhalla, and I regret it not. I commend thee, dear reader, to partake of this wondrous pairing! Now, let us speak of the Toasted Pickle itself. Aye, it stands apart, for it boasts an upper chamber wherein one may dine, as if feasting in the castle keep. Yet, I must voice a single lament: the chill in the air, akin to the frosty breath of a dragon, did vex me. I, who prefer a cooler clime, found myself yearning for a hearth to warm my bones. Alas! As for the coinage required for such delights, let it be known that the prices are not for the thrifty of purse. Yet fear not, for the portion sizes doth assuage the sting. Verily, a wise investment, for a full belly is worth its weight in gold. In conclusion, dear denizens of Rockford, seek ye the Toasted Pickle with eager hearts and empty stomachs. Revel in the seasoned fries, dip with pimento cheese, and bask in the warmth of camaraderie. And if thou art of hardy constitution, brave the chill aloft, for there lies adventure! Fare thee well, and may your next repast be as merry as a minstrel's tune!

    This cozy rustic, two story sandwich place is located beside the Rockford dam and has ample indoor and outdoor seating. Orders can be placed at the counter or scan the QR code to order and your food is promptly delivered to your table with a smile. We began with pickle poppers filled with pimento, lightly fried and served with a tasty sauce. My husband had the Italian Bomber sandwich- "a taste sensation" according to him! I had the falafel, which was perfectly fried, smothered in greens, strong garlic sauce and feta crumbles. Oh, SO GOOD! We both had specialty lemonades (strawberry basil and cherry lime), a sugar overload, but such a treat. The dining areas were well maintained, as was the gender neutral restroom. I don't usually give five stars to sandwich shops, but this certainly deserved it.

    Pickle poppers
    Megan H.

    The Toasted Pickle was awesome! Everything I had was delicious, but the Pickle Poppers were the highlight--crispy, flavorful, and so good. The food was great, the vibe was fun, and the staff was super friendly. I'll definitely be coming back.

    Tables are way to close!

    Just average food for high price. Small establishment with zero privacy. Table next to me spent entire hr complaining about wanting to divorce narcissistic husband and I couldn't help but listen! Fought the urge hard not to get involved. Had the black jack and it was soggy and bread was just wrong! Someone needs to introduce them to the opposite end of the street and Arnie's Rye bread! I did enjoy my Peach sangria despite my closeness and convo of loud neighbors

    Strawberry basil lemonade, hottie sweet potato waffle fries, green goddess grilled cheese, Hooker whitefish sandwich
    Stacy S.

    Literally a flawless experience. Clean, cozy, great atmosphere. Excellent friendly service. But let me tell you.. this food. WOW! We got strawberry basil lemonade and prob the freshest tasting, best lemonade I've ever had. Then the featured hottie waffle sweet potato fries - killer good. They have it all: sweet, spicy, salty, crispy. Then we got the Hooker fish sandwich and Green Goddess grilled cheese. BOTH INCREDIBLE!!! Sheesh, so many good flavors. I can't wait to come back here!!!

    Came in with a party of 10. I was paying. Everyone had to sit there while I passed my phone around person to person to order. Get a server. Beers are $6-7. One good thing though is I guess you don't have to tip.

    Bacon Jam burger was money and the side of Broccoli salad was amazing. I'm so glad we googled local Rockford joints on our road trip today!

    Unique and interesting vibe. I love it when owners transform a home into a business and make it…read morefunky and cozy. This review is solely on my experience and not the integrity of the bagel itself. I was fascinated when a colleague recommended this place in Rockford for breakfast and I had no idea what to expect when I pulled up to an old home. When I walked in, I was greeted with delicious coffee aromas being ground while people were buying pounds of fresh ground beans. I was confused about the ordering process, but friendly customers explained the procedure. First, you get in line and pick your drink and order a customizable bagel. I picked a sandwich because I was hungry, so I opted for a full on sandwich. I chose an onion bagel with house-made smoked and sliced roast beef, egg, pepper Jack cheese, horseradish sauce, onion, tomato, and lettuce. Yum! The bagels are homemade and on the smaller side so I was able to scarf down the whole sandwich whilst enjoying a large NOLA coffee brew. All of this came to under $10. A great value and interesting experience. After, ordering you can find a seat and they come find you to come back to the counter to pay. You only pay when your food is ready. Then its cafe seat yourself territory. They also have random items for sale and interesting curiosities hidden in the nooks and crannies of this space. Certainly worth a visit based on vibes and price point alone. the food did not disappoint. Smoked meats for the win!

Always some seasonal roasts too plus a confectionery and bakery . All meats cooked on the egg , take and bake meals too , burritos and shellfish pie !

It's so many things that we find ourselves going often even for a bagel or bagel dog ( good enough for Ginger Zee to serve at her wedding ) if you haven't been you need to go !

    You know Rico's is doing something right when they boast a perfect 5 star rating!…read more Rico, Jessica and Lupe were very gracious when I called in my order at 1:59pm when they were due to close from 2-5pm. They made me a delicious panini grilled cheese and veggie sandwich that was a perfect compliment to the recommended chili. I added onions and cheese to my chili and it was phenomenal! Flavorful and the exact right amount of spice. The whole mom 'n pop shop had fun add-ons that could be purchased like candy cigarettes, local pops and delicious sounding pints of ice-cream. I'm happy I found this little gem. Maybe next time I should test their pizza. Sold by the slice during the day for 3-4 bucks a slice. Definitely recommend the paninis and chili. Good deal for $13 and much tastier and more food than Panera bread's U pick 2. This place deserves all the business! Friendly and affordable. Support local, your stomach will thank you.
