PICKLEMAN'S GOURMET CAFE REVIEWS

Fantastic spot with incredible employees, especially those working the night shift. Big shoutout to Lee for being one of the best workers I have ever met and making the experience that much better.

First time here. Came for lunch with my elderly mother. She loved the garlic cheese bread so much I had to order another one. Overall great service, super friendly staff and yummy food.

I've tried three different sandwiches and the tomatoe soup. The food is delicious. Highly recommend this place for fresh tasting sandwiches.
