"This deli is definitely a favorite place for the local community. We are new to the area and wanted to start trying local cafes and restaurants. The deli was packed on Saturday morning. Obviously many people knew each other and the deli staff. Our breakfast was well prepared and abundant. Took awhile for someone to take our order; but the place was completely full. Good food, good portions, good prices, friendly staff. 25Jan2026 — it’s been a couple of years since we started coming here and it’s always been a good experience. The owners and staff are really nice people."

"Think you know the PB? Who is Mrs. Fish? What is the 222? Who is the only waitress with a small tattoo of the restaurant logo on her arm? What year was the photograph at the register with Gus in his prime taken? Why do they never have size XL black t-shirts in stock?"

"The best around for breakfast. I have been coming here for years and never disappointed. Great place for families and children, inviting environment. Exceptional service! Family run business for years!"

"Stopped by on a Saturday for a quick lunch before going to the art museum. Had a couple delicious gyros. Service was great. Nice energetic atmosphere."

"The Pickle Barrel "owns" lower Pleasant St. There's a reason there's not another breakfast/lunch locale for blocks! Opened in 1974 and still the premiere location destination for the area and surrounding neighborhoods! Don't miss out!"
