They catered an event and the food was amazing. Why can't I get a sloppy Joe in Florida? They think it's that hamburger helper and not a delicious sandwich.

When I see a number of scathing reviews -- rude service, lousy food, etc. -- of a restaurant that I have enjoyed several times, I wonder if we are talking about the same place. BTW, I think 4-1/2 stars is more accurate, based on overall ambiance and food. I don't live nearby so when I visit with friends Pickled is one of our go-to spots. The restaurant is clean, with professional, friendly service and reasonable prices. The menu has what you expect from a kosher deli. The food is good, but I hesitate to overstate it because my comparison delis, such as Katz's are simply a cut above. As most kosher and kosher style delis these days, the pastrami is tasty, but too thin and lean, it is not brisket. Lacks the moisture and unctuous taste of a brisket point. Pastrami sandwiches are served on a nice rye with excellent pickles and a decent slaw. Round knishes are baked in a chewy pastry wrap with some nice sautéed onion. I have also sampled an excellent roast beef on rye, nice medium rare and beefy. Bottom line? Pickled Herring satisfies sufficiently to go back.

First time here, and I wish I came sooner. Great classic Jewish deli food. Matzoh ball soup was fantastic, and my hot pastrami was terrific, lean and tasty, not fatty or stringy. Will be back for a pot pie next time! Might have to grab some halvah on the way out...

This is the quintessential Jewish deli! My husband and I finally made it here and we really liked it. For a Wednesday evening, it was very busy, which is always a great sign! The dining area is nice and updated with a decent number of tables, all of which were occupied. Our waitress was so friendly and bubbly even though she was running around from table to table and she never seemed to break a sweat. A plate of 2 kinds of pickles and waters were served right away. We gobbled them up! We ordered 3 mini potato pancakes for a little "nosh" before our meals. They were nice and crispy (just how my husband likes them) and came with a side of apple sauce. They were really good! The only thing that would make it better is if it came with some sour cream too. I was having trouble deciding between a few options but settled on the turkey club sandwich. It came with a generous mound of fresh turkey, bacon, lettuce and tomato in between 3 layers of toasted white (you can pick white, wheat or rye) and a side of their coleslaw and some mayo. I love coleslaw and theirs is real good! My husband obviously ordered a Sloppy Joe. It was packed with the usual 3 meats: roast beef, turkey, and corned beef/pastrami. Right off the bat he noticed the pastrami was still warm and that was a game- changer for him. He's had many sloppy Joes in his time but the warm pastrami raised his eyebrows! The sandwiches are big and we only managed to finish half of ours, but we definitely asked for a box and brought the other halves home. Im definitely going to try something new next time. They have so many options so you should come with an appetite. If I'm ambitious enough I'm going to try their unique Knishwich.. and yes, it's exactly what you think it is!

The place smelled delicious as soon as we walked in the door. Roasting chickens, seasoned meats and baked goods were an olfactory delight. I got a corned beef Reuben sandwich. You need to put this in your face. Easily one of the best Reuben sandwiches I have ever had. The French fries were very good. Golden brown on the outside, crispy and delicious. My wife got the potato knish. Between bites, as she wolfed it down, she said it was delicious. With all the prepared salads and meats presented right in front of you the ambience was great. I highly recommend this place and I am going back for more Reuben sandwiches. Delicious
