Stopped in Loveland to visit a friend and she recommended we came to The Wicked Pickle to grab a bite to eat. The outside of the restaurant is so cute; very beach-esque. It was a rainy day unfortunately for us, but I'm SURE this place gets packed when the weather is nice. We ordered the Fried Buffalo Chicken sandwich with fries and the Fried Pickles. The chicken on the sandwich was very moist and the perfect amount of crispy. The breading was so good and did a great job really capturing the pickle flavor. The fries were delicious as well...but the star of the show was their jalapeño ranch sauce! SO good. Would buy a bottle of it if I could! Should I ever find myself in Loveland again, I would definitely go back! read more

My Mr and I wanted to have a couple of drinks before heading to meet our friends for dinner. We stumbled on this place. They just opened their bar and I'm glad we were there to support them. They offered cocktails, canned craft beers, and draft beers. My Mr and I decided to get two Madtree's Skygazer on tap. The pricing was very reasonable and we enjoyed the drinks outside. We are definitely returning to try their food menu. Plus the staff was super friendly. read more

Got the smash burger with fries and they were perfectly cooked and absolutely divine. The music was a wonderful mix.

The food and ambiance were alright but the service was very bad. Our server messed up our order in multiple ways with the drinks and food. We also found a long black hair in our food won't be back... read more

We went on a pleasant weather weeknight. My friend ordered the Wicked Grilled Cheese and I had the Smashed Burgers. Friend asked to have no bacon on the grilled cheese but it came with it anyway and was a bit bread heavy with 3 slices. She also felt there was an odd flavor to the sandwich she couldn't put her finger on. My experience was much better. The taco style burger was full of fresh topping and great seasonings with a little kick. I also had the Wicked Lemonade, which was tasty . So, a mixed experience. The outside music was a bit on the loud side if you are trying to chat with friends read more

I heard this place was under new ownership so I decided to stop in. It took them 20 minutes to give us menus. After an hour of waiting for our food we asked if they were making it and they said they weren't so we left. Worst service I've ever experienced. read more

Good little place right on the bike trail. It's perfect for spring time to sit outside and eat. Our waitress was super nice and on top of it. Food was ok.... I would eat here again but I wouldn't seek out to come here for the food. I got the pulled pork sandwich, which to me it tasted like chicken, I would've like to see some sort of spicy coleslaw or pickled red onions to go with it. If you do want a decent chill place to sit outside and enjoy the weather this is your spot. read more

A cute little beachy vibe lunch spot in downtown Loveland. Don't wear because the gravel is a little too big. Excellent food, beverages and service. Reggae music playing when we were there. Good community parking. I wonder how's the atmosphere at night? Would definitely eat here again. read more

This place is awesome! We sat outside and the band St Cloud was playing. They were great! A lot of fun. Our waitress was so nice and attentive. We would recommend this place!! read more

Went over for some drinks w some friends and they had the best live music I've seen in a long time. Nice area as it's in downtown Loveland and the service was really nice. Wish they were a bit faster but it was crowded so I get it. Overall good drinks and fun place to chill read more

This was the pickle filled dinner of this pregnant lady's dreams! We ate outside in the bier garden and enjoyed some live music. The bar diy'd a pickle juice mocktail for me complete with pickle spear garnishes! There were a few indoor tables by the bar. Food was great! We split the Wicked Pickle Chips app, I had the Key Cove Cuban sandwich (mostly classic ingredients with a bit of added BBQ sauce) and the hubs had the Captain Panini sandwich (slightly more grilled cheese than expected). Great atmosphere, I forgot for a bit of date night that we were in Loveland and not beach side. read more

Really enjoyed the friendly service and tasty beverages. We came here from a light breakfast so didn't order much food, but the chips and guac were very tasty. We enjoyed the Wicked Mary and the Lyle's Lemonade with a strawberry BLOX. *BLOX is an alcohol infused ice cube! Thanks for the great service! read more

Normally, I do not like to eat out, but decided to try this little place after a nice mid-day bike ride. I did like the beachcomber ambiance, having been to many beach towns around the world, it had a great kitschy feel without it being overly gaudy. My waitress was very friendly and nice, took my order and brought it out in relative short order. So no complaints on the service or atmosphere. I didn't get a receipt so I don't know her name in order to give her a thumbs up. Now for the food: Because I grew up in an era where we finished our plates before leaving the table, I did eat almost everything I ordered. It was not the best food I've ever eaten, but not the worst either. I ordered the Cuban sandwich with a side of "secret recipe" mac-n-cheese. I understand food costs are always going up after the scamdemic (my word), but if you call yourselves the "Wicked Pickle", maybe you should offer a pickle spear alongside your sandwiches? That is, if you make them in house. The sandwich itself looked well presented, had all the attributes of a great Cubano, but whoever slathered on the spicy mustard does not know how to do so in moderation! I love spicy, but the horseradish in the mustard was way overdone. There were bites I had taken of that sandwich that the intensity went way up my nose and down my throat before I could finish chewing. The pickles on the sandwich were sparse and thin, so a few more would've been nice. The mac-n-cheese... if you're going to herald this as a secret recipe type of offering, make sure that there is something special about it more than it being little more than a box of Velveeta mac-n-cheese. First off, my waitress brought it to me stone cold. The shredded cheese hadn't even melted. That right there tells me that they do not make it fresh each day. And the quality of the pasta echoed that, being overcooked and not well seasoned when cooking the elbows (whenever that was). The cheese was nothing more than shredded from a bag. The waitress did take it back when I brought it to her attention that it was cold. She did bring it back to me warmed up. But there really wasn't anything special about it. If there had been salt and pepper shakers on the table, it could have improved my visit. Maybe it was a lackluster day because they were gearing up for the holiday weekend. But every day should be like a performance of a lifetime if you want people to come back. Which I will not be. read more

This was at least my second occasion eating at The Wicked Pickle. We shared the nachos and I got the 8 count Jamaican shrimp. For lunch, this was quite filling. I also tried a bite of my wife's chicken wrap. Everything was delicious. I loved seasoning on the shrimp and the toppings on the nachos. It was light but filling. The atmosphere is beachy and tropical. For lunch, service was quick and friendly. read more

I want to love this place since I live in the neighborhood but I can't. Good atmosphere (although I would stick with the beach country music and ditch the live music, yikes) The bbq was ok but the sides are definitely store bought. Busches baked beans and stouffers Mac and cheese Will likely only be back for a drink only. read more

Been here a couple times now and I'm pleased to say it's been really good! Waiters are nice and quick to respond. The fried pickles are definitely the best around and it's got a cute beachy vibe. I'd give the Jamaican me crazy shrimp and pineapple a 10 outta 10 as well. read more

Service for fast and friendly. Food was delicious. Environment was laid back and fun! Definitely would recommend!

Location has potential but grossly overpriced for thin basic sandwiches & frozen tater tots. Service in late September & early October very slow. (Yes - we have it a 2nd chance). No more - too many other nice spots on the trail. read more

BEWARE!!! Make sure to call ahead and check if they are open and also check to see if the kitchen is open. Today, Saturday, October 5, 2024, probably the nicest Saturday in a very long time, not too hot not cold not rainy. We decided to go to have a late lunch at the wicked pickle. Checked their Facebook page , as was the recommended the last time that they were closed because it was a little too cold outside, even though all the other outdoor venues right around them were open. So today at 3 o'clock, we arrived finally managed to garner a parking spot and head in for a meal. Much to our disappointment there's a sign that says that the kitchen is closed today, sorry. It's very disappointing and I just can't imagine that that's any way to run a business. Probably never coming back. That's a little bit of a drive but we really like the atmosphere and the food, when there is food, not be able to count on a place being open when it's nice outside and actually be serving food on a Saturday afternoon, just not something I want to deal with. read more

Food was just ok. They dint make the panini correctly missed a major ingredient. Not impressed ! The inside is disheveled and dirty. The bathrooms look like they hadn't been cleaned. The garbage was overflowing and they had no soap and this is right after they opened on a Sunday. Wont be back! read more

The atmosphere was great but it took 90 minutes to get our food! The Cobb salad wasn't great(hardly any lettuce) and the smoked chicken salad wrap was super bland. I hope they figure out how to get to get more than one table's order out at a time! read more

Just had a quick lunch there today. The food and drinks were off the charts good. Highly recommend this cool Key West, Florida vibe bar and restaurant and you must try the Cuban sandwich with tots, the Mac and Cheese and the fried pickles. On Friday thru Sunday they have live acoustic music on the spacious outside patio. read more

Used to have amazing coleslaw with fruit in it and pulled pork sandwich buns had more of a wonderful fried buttery taste. Now, the coleslaw and sandwiches are just run of the mill since they started cutting costs and/or effort. Not bad but not special. read more

Went here with some friends a week or two ago. The waitress we had wasn't nice at all, and seemed very annoyed with us when there wasn't nothing to be mad or annoyed about. And for what I got, the price was crazy. I spent 16$ for a tiny bowl of Mac n cheese and a coke that they didn't even offer refills for, I wouldn't recommend going here. read more

Do yourself a favor and don't come here. All of the food was bland and unsatisfying. We got the Cuban sandwich and the pulled pork with Mac n cheese and coleslaw. Never again. read more

Stopped for a cocktail and decided to have lunch. We had the greyhounds which were awesome. The pickle backs also tasty. As for lunch we had the Cuban which was average probably because of the bun and the chicken salad wrap which was lacking in the chicken salad. Not much food for the price. Sat outside and listened to music. Staff was friendly and super quick service. Will be back for drinks. read more

Second time, trying to have a meal at the wicked pickle last Wednesday, girl said they were closed for a private party. They were just cleaning up not really sure why they wouldn't stay open after they already had people there and it was a getting close to dinner time so back home we go they had told us to check the Facebook page that there is updated Information regarding the hours I did that photo attached from 6:07 PM this evening still says they're open they are not. We drove a good ways to get there. Thought it would be a fun place to try. Never going back would recommend not going there because you may drive far and have to find a meal somewhere else. We ate at the Paxton bar and grill very good food and enjoyed and we ate outside, even though the wicked pickle said that it was too cold to be open. read more

The vibe of this place is cute, fun and relaxing. The service was good and friendly. However, the food was honestly just bad... the chicken was dry, the chips were stale, and the mac and cheese was average and small. It wouldn't have seemed so bad if the food wasn't so overpriced. I would recommend eating before coming here, bc the environment was nice and the drinks were good. Food is just an absolute no. read more

Great service, great food, great atmosphere! Definitely a spot my family and I will frequent.

Great place! It makes me feel like I'm on vacation. I love that they place beach music. I sat on the front porch with my dog and felt right at home. read more

Great service and nice atmosphere but will never order food. Old dried chicken on a salad, cuban sandwich with land o lakes ham , the bowl is a cup that is usually used as a side at other restaurants. Too expensive for the food served. read more

I cannot even understand how this place can operate serving the food that they do. Literally the worst everything, outside of their cocktails. Who owns this place? I am not a chef and I could spend 10 minutes with you and have your doors packed for months. Seriously, who can Jack up Buffalo chicken dip? I am not joking. Write me and I will come help you.

Atmosphere was great. Live music was solid, it was a little loud but the band was good. I got the bourbon slushee and it was decent. I brought my puppy with me and the wait staff insisted on giving her a "Fido Freezzy" I was hesitant since she was so young but say "sure why not." I was under the assumption that it would be complimentary since literally every other restaurant or chain offers free dog treats, then was surprised when the waitress told me that'd be $3. Maybe lead with that next time instead of insinuating it's free. $3 isn't a big deal but it just felt like they were pushing it like they had a quota lol. Didn't try the food, but heard it was just okay. Worth checking out for the atmosphere and drinks for a little and that's about it. read more

Let's start with the good. The atmosphere was good considering it was a hot day last weekend. The outdoor patio was comfortable with plenty of shade due to large trees and umbrellas. We visited after a 20 mile bike ride and expectations were high. Now for the bad. The Wicked Pickle is advertised as having boozy drinks. My wife and I each had a specialty drink - mine was the Bloody Mary which very much seemed like a virgin Bloody Mary. We always give restaurants at least one opportunity to prove their drinks, and they failed. We quickly switched to seltzers and beer because we knew they would have alcohol. Now to the food. The Wicked Pickle was out of pickle chips!!!!!! What???!!! Just as someone mentioned earlier the Cuban sandwich meat was bland with seemingly no seasoning. Please just add a little bit of spice for heaven's sake. The Mac and cheese was also bland and seemed store bought. I'll wait until I see more positive reviews until we return again. read more

I realize good help is hard to find , the manager and an employee were having a conversation that was way out of line ... I'll never return here !! read more

I love the environment here! The staff is always very friendly and they have great live music on the weekends.
