First time coming here. Must say the staff was super friendly and helpful. You can either seat inside or outside. The food is very delicious i enjoyed it. Even had jacobs pickles beer, i must sayit was great. I give the place a 10/10. Soon be back with friends.
Amazing place! Loves the atmosphere and the new larger menu. Tried 8 different types of fresh pickles, all good, but none were as delicious as the fried pickles. Crispy chicken Caesar wrap is second to none. Also had the Jacob's biscuit beer, so smooth, all in all everything we ordered and ate was perfect.
I was walking around with my significant other when we spotted this place. It looked very open and inviting so we stopped in to grab a bite. We ordered street corn to start which came out quickly and was delicious. I ended up getting the Original smash burger and I am a huge burger guy and have to say I was absolutely blown away by how good it was. Even the bun was flakey and buttery, the pickles gave it a nice crunch, it was probably one of the absolute best burgers I’ve had in my life. The only complaint that I have is that I couldn’t finish it. The split pea soup that came with it was absolutely phenomenal too and I’m usually not a fan of split pea soup. 10/10 experience, would recommend. And the service was awesome, everyone was super friendly and knowledgeable.
Extremely hospitable staff. Service was excellent. The food was delicious. I had the baby back ribs with the pickle slaw & potato salad & a root beer float which I haven’t had in forever! The root beer float really brought me back, it was a very nice touch to my meal. This place is enormous I didn’t realize how much seating is available prior to coming. Seating is comfy, cushions on the bar stools. Loved the selection of music. I also took note they have a private dining area in their Whiskey Room which is great to know for future reference. I’ll definitely be back to try the pickles & the desserts. Thank you JP!
Brunch at Jacob’s Pickles was a great vibe. The strawberry jam cocktail was delicious (just wish it had a little more alcohol). Buffalo mac and cheese and chicken Caesar wrap were tasty, but the chicken was a bit hard in both. The Oreo pudding was HUGE, perfect for sharing. Music was nostalgic 2000s hip hop/R&B, and our waiter Darrick was super friendly and attentive. Loved the ambiance and would definitely come back to try more items.
