Chicago Pickle Eatery

While looking for a lunch spot on Google, I found Chicago Pickle. What a treat! Free parking in their plentiful lot and no line at 11:30am. I perused their large menu and had a hard time choosing. The pictures on the wall will help you make the decision and get your mouth watering! I chose the Bacon Crispy Chicken Sandwich. It took about 15 minutes because it was prepared from scratch. Piping hot, the chicken was thick and juicy with a flavorful coating. It was topped with not your ordinary bacon. Rather, it was thick and chewy...in the BEST way. Great selection, excellent value. I was impressed by the friendly service and HUGE selection of drinks, chips, sauces and more. This is my new go-to sandwich shop!

I saw pictures of different food from here on Instagram and decided to stop here for lunch. I purchased the Hot Classic Reuben Sandwhich on rye bread and it was the best sandwhich I ever had and it was also the biggest reuben sandwhich I've ever had before. The cashier was also very professional and was very polite!

Delicious. Some tables to sit at. Big selection of drinks. Got The Pickle and it was awesome and huge, and the fries were fantastic as well.

Fantastic food! We got the Chicago pickle sandwich on rye, fried pickles and onion rings. One of the best sandwiches we've had in the area. Reccome d getting 1/2 sandwich cuz they are HUGE!

I stopped by Chicago Pickle Eatery and it’s exactly the kind of quirky, comfort-food spot you want when you’re in the mood for something fun and flavorful. The vibe is relaxed and casual — friendly staff, upbeat energy, and a menu that doesn’t take itself too seriously. I tried a few items featuring their house-made pickles, and they were crunchy, tangy, and just the right level of brine — great on their own or as part of a sandwich. The sandwiches were hearty and satisfying, with good portions and bold flavors that held up well with all the toppings. Overall, Chicago Pickle Eatery feels like a playful, neighborhood favorite — not fancy, just genuinely tasty food that makes you smile. Great spot for casual lunch or grabbing a unique twist on classic deli eats.

I can’t believe how good this place is - specifically the burgers. I’ve had 100s of burgers at restaurants all over the place , this is one of the best, easily. I’ve had the bacon burger 10+ times and it’s always been delicious. Paired with the fried pickles , absolutely amazing. On top of that , the service is always friendly and fast. The store is clean and neatly organized. E Serious props to this place, keep up the good work!

This is one of my absolute favorite neighborhood food spots. I pop in here on my way home from work when it's late after a long day and get awesome food every time. They're constantly evolving the menu and the portions are huge. Zero complaints, everything I've had is delicious, it always seems fresh and the sauces are on point. Also, those polish pickles they sell in a jar are awesome.

Rocky was amazing and sweet helping me choose what to eat. The sandwiches are great and it’s amazing when you can make your own! Free parking lot and this is the perfect neighborhood hole in the wall. Coming back!!

So this place clearly puts "drugs" in thier turkey sandwiches..... I thought UpTown Deli was amazing but this place - look out. My friend gave me a bite of thier turkey sandwich then I was hooked. I gave my roommate a whole sandwich and then he (in spanish which I don't speak well) asked me what specifically I ordered bc it was so good. Also owner? Idk gave us some pickles on the side which we're delicious fyi I want to order everything on the menu but the stupid turkey sandwich is so good off the shelf I don't want to risk anything lol

Called ahead for food as I was walking back home from a lunch walk. Saw they had opened up a few months ago and are new to Uptown so wanted to try them out! Super glad I did! I ordered a buffalo chicken wrap (fried chicken option), a whole size turkey club sandwich on wheat bread, a chicken Caesar salad, a side French fry, a kombucha, and a package of blueberries (yes, they carried them lol), and the total after tax was around $53 which I found to be a very good deal considering everything I got and the portion sizes overall were very good. They give a good amount of chicken and meat overall. Was very pleased with the price point, the taste/quality, and the friendly service of this place. Will certainly be back to try more. Welcome to Uptown, CPE!

Delicious! We recently moved to Uptown. We have been wanting to try Chicago Pickle and tonight we had a chance to start in. We had the classic hot Rueben (which we shared, a 'whole') sandwich and large fries. It was delicious! Service was fast and friendly. We'll be back!

My kickboxing coach recommended this place and omg it was great! The burger was nice and juicy, the jalapeño poppers were fresh and homemade, and the fries were nice and crispy. The service is good and timely! The ambiance is laidback and similar to an NY Botega. You should defintely come here on a weeknight to grab a bite with friends!

We love Chicago Pickle! Their breakfast sandwich and coffee deal is a fun mid-week treat before work. Usually not too busy in the morning and food is made fresh, so it is all around a good experience. The staff is very kind. I love their treats wall with different gourmet and fun snacks. It's fun to look at while waiting for your sandwich. I definitely intend to come back during lunch or dinner hours to try more sandwiches.

I usually never write a review as soon as I receive or eat the food. Chicago pickle was definitely an exception!! Craving some comfort food during this cold weather and also being late to ordering something to eat for dinner, CP was up to the challenge. Ordering fried mushrooms and jalapeños are always a challenge if the restaurant can't get it right. I can tell you I was lit standing UP eating when my food came with these two items. Didn't even remember I had a whole sandwich and chili tambien! Hahahaha! Perfect jalapeños and the mushrooms which usually don't travel well we're doing just fine! After my snacky frenzy faded a bit I tasted the turkey chili and was not disappointed. My only suggestion would be for us to have the option for onions & cheese to add on for a charge. Thank you so much CPE for making my night complete with tasty snacks and nice employees. Much snack love & can't wait to order again!

Grate portions and enjoyed the side pickle thought it was just the sandwich , and the first tume i ordered didn't realize I had ordered half

The sandwiches here are really good! I had a grilled cheese but it was packed with flavor and had a nice crispiness in every bite. I also ordered a garlic steak aioli and oven roasted Turkey.

First off let me say I had eaten here before and the food was excellent and so was the service. My first time the owner was behind the counter and made me feel like family. There was a reason why I came back. However my second go around was a complete disaster. I ordered my food and grabbed a drink from the fridge. The drink needed a bottle opener, the girl behind the counter instead of offering to open my drink sat on the phone chatting with her friend. Oblivious to her customers. I then proceeded to wait 40 minutes for my sandwich, I could see waiting if you had a line out the door but there were only 2 other customers. Again on the phone chatting away to her friend oblivious to her customers. I finally had to ask her about my sandwich which judging how hot it was had been sitting awhile. The sandwich was ok but would have been great had it been served hot. I threw away my garbage and walked out. As I'm walking to my car she pops her head out and proceeds to complain to me I didn't throw away my bottle (which are recyclable) or didn't return my tray to the proper tray area. After that horrible service she has the nerve to complain about me. I guess I cut into her chat time. I honestly don't think someone like her should be in the hospitality or service industry. Like I said before my first visit was awesome the owner could not have been nicer and the food was incredible. If I were to ever come back and saw her behind the counter I would walk right back out.

I was so excited to have a new sandwich place in the neighborhood and CPE did not disappoint. I've been here twice so far; once I got the buffalo chicken (sliced deli meat cold sandwich) and once I got the chicken bacon ranch wrap with fried chicken. I have also had bites of the chipotle fried chicken sandwich. Everything has been so good! They really pile on the protein and the serving sizes are huge for the price. And yes, the pickles you get on the side are delicious as well. Everything is freshly made so sandwiches take a few minutes but it is absolutely worth it. They also have a great snack selection - lots of chips and flavored nuts, as well as a small grocery section with pasta, sauces, and deep fry mixes / seasoning blends.

Amazingly friendly staff and the food was excellent. The fried pickles were amazing and so were the sandwiches we got, we will for sure be going back.

Ahh! This used to be Seafood Junction, remember that? This is the second location in the city. The original is in Avondale. The staff and service is very good.

Fantastic sandwich spot. We got a spicy Italian, chopped cheese, and garlic fries and everything was amazing. Not much ambiance but not needed for what it is.

We came upon this sandwich shop on our recent visit to Chicago. We actually were heading for another one, but found they were out of business. We came up upon this one and were delighted. What a delicious sandwich! Hope to return in the near future to try another.

We aren't local to Chicago so we needed to trust Yelp to figure out where to eat when a prior plan fell through. The only negative about this place is that we live so far away! The burger was hands down the most delish thing in our groups order. Chicago pickle sandwich was solid. The portions were appreciated. Fresh baked cookies. One note is that it's a very small place so seating was limited.

Amazing sandwiches with great staff. Was looking for a place to eat and found this place based on it's highly rated reviews. I'm glad I gave it a try because it's my new favorite spot to grab a sandwich!

I love this place! We moved away from the neighborhood and I actually think about it all the time. Their food is a great price for some huge portions, their breakfast is FIRE and their sandwiches especially hit the spot. The people working are always really nice, it's just a great simple, delicious deli! I'll definitely come back here whenever I'm in the area.

Love that the Pickle has come to the uptown neighborhood! They've got a wide variety of menu options and their wings are phenomenal! This place will be one of our regular go-tos for sure.

Food is top tier. They never miss. Sandwiches, wraps, and the fried zucchini are fire!!!!! Custer service is A-1. Always clean. Highly recommend.

Great addition to the neighborhood! The food is super fresh and the staff is very nice. The menu is huge so will definitely be going back to try more things!

THIS PLACE IS ABSOLUTELY AMAZING. through the door 100/10. Customer Service top notch. Food top notch. Everything was crispy hot and fresh. I ordered the BLT wrap with glarlic season fries and my boyfriend ordered the ultimate cheeseburger sub and when i tell you we just looked at eachother in shock. I am not even really a huge fan of bacon but this bacon was thick and tender and you could just tell it was authentic and cooked with love. We also got the fried pickle spears and they were the best fried pickles the both of us can agree we have ever had. the perfect crunch on the outside and the inside of the pickle was perfectly cooked and melted in every bite. even better with ranch! The young man at the front taking orders was such a gentlemen and so respectful and even gave us a cookie on the house just in gratitude of our positive reviews. exceptionally happy with our experience! will be back VERY soon!

Awesome new addition to the neighborhood, the manager and his team are great folks, feels like a friendly neighborhood sandwich shop. Really great little groceries they offer, unique stuff! The sandwiches are massive and the cookies rock too- check it out for breakfast, lunch, or dinner!

Wham! Wow what a sandwhich! I mean really good! Had the Chicago Pickle sandwhich, toasted, it's kind of like a Reuben. The slaw wasn't spicy. The halff is basically a whole sandwhich so make sure you don't over order.

i've only gotten the wings but they were yummy. they sell a ton of cute beverages. i've heard the sandwiches are bomb i'll have to try that next

I just wanted to update my review . Since my first review I have been back there a few more times check I'm out different menu items . I was not disappointed . I have had different sandwich's which were fantastic but i was really impressed with their WINGS . They were great . I go to many places for wings and I didn't expect a deli to have great wings . I had their 10 wings with 5 garlic Parmesan and 5 sweet and spicy . So tasty . Highly recommended this place !!!!

Went here about a month ago and tried their hot sub, burger, and fried pickles. It was AMAZING and the service was great. They offered me fresh pickles and sauce. I went back to try their buffalo wraps and unfortunately it was soaked to the point the wrap was inedible. They forgot our ranches and we requested one be fried chicken and the other grilled. We got two grilled ones. I would still recommend trying the place, but check your order before leaving and make sure it's up to par..

Had their signature sandwich and it was wonderful! Fresh ingredients. Good value too. Glad this place opened.

Great food, service and deli ambience!! The more than enough Chicago Pickle Sandwich and Egg Salad Sandwich was delicious!! I would call ahead to avoid the wait because the food is made to order and fresh. The place was packed at 3pm and It will definitely be my go to deli. Giving a shout out to Ian who warmly and politely services the patrons!!

Great sandwiches and very reasonable prices. Glad to have this place open in the neighborhood.

i was excited to try this spot in my neighborhood and decided to come in on a thursday night 2 hours before they're supposed to close (by 9:45 the staff told customers they were closing soon so maybe the kitchen closes an hour prior) to order a 10 piece wing dinner. i got garlic parm and mild wings and fries are included in the dinner. paid about $18 for the entire meal, waited almost 30 mins (which was no problem cus i wasnt in a rush and know wings can take a min if made from scratch). got home and opened the meal to see no fries, and the garlic parm wings were barely seasoned? wasn't sure if it was meant to be a dry rub or sauce but either way, it was basically just plain wings... i was so bummed and barely ate the meal. the mild wings tasted decent but i was pretty upset w the experience so im not sure if i'd go back.
