Pickleman's Gourmet Cafe - Saint Louis

I ordered the BBQ chicken sandwich, which had a great flavor, but unfortunately, it was lacking in substance, which was disappointing. This was my first experience with Pickleman’s Gourmet Cafe. Since I've enjoyed the meatball sandwiches at Good Buddy’s—by far the best—and Gioia’s Deli, I thought it would be a good idea to order Pickleman’s meatball sandwich for comparison. I found their version interesting because the marinara sauce was served separately. However, the sandwich turned out to be smaller than I expected. I was uncertain about the garlic butter; it was a bit too picky for my taste. The meatball sandwich itself was decent, but the bread was soggy, which was disappointing. Additionally, the meatballs were somewhat dry, and the marinara sauce was watery and not well-mixed in the separate cup. Overall, the meatball sandwich earns a score of 3.7 stars from me. On a brighter note, the chocolate chip cookie I ordered was quite good. It had a nice gooey consistency and great flavor, warranting a score of 4.1 stars. Averaging the scores for both items gives me a 3.9-star rating for my first experience at Pickleman’s Gourmet Cafe. I hope this was just an off day for them, and I look forward to trying more of their offerings in the future.

The customer service and food were fantastic. I haven't had pizza this delicious in a long time, and it certainly did not disappoint. I definitely have to come back!

One of my favorite sandwich cafes. I highly recommend the number 15. The service is always great, and the food is fantastic!

I'm visiting from Detroit and have been here twice. It's a bit pricey, but the sandwiches are delicious and the service is reliable, so I always return whenever I'm in the area. Thank you!

Always the freshest sandwiches!
