Pickle's Pie Shop

We stopped by this pricey pie shop expecting great things, but unfortunately, the taste didn't quite live up to the hype. The crust, in particular, was a letdown - it wasn't flaky as expected. We ordered a few savory and slice sweet pies, and here's how they fared: *Savory Pies:* - Season Beef Pot Pie: "WHERE'S THE BEEF?" 😳 The filling tasted fatty, despite being loaded with veggies and pasta. The rich, sweet, and salty flavor was overpowered by the oily crust - 0/10 - Famous Chicken Pot Pie: After trying the Season Beef Pot Pie, we didn't want to try the chicken pie (giving our hearts a break from all the fatty food we'd consumed). Our Friend review: Plenty of chicken meat, but too salty, crust oily and not flaky, he cannot pass a second bite 0/10 ***Note that the savory pies ($18 each) came frozen and required a 90-minute bake time*** *Sweet Pies: $7 each slice - *True Love:* Well-balanced sweet and tart flavors (6/10), but lacking in filling and the crust could be improved. - *Ultimate Cherry:* Sweeter than tart (5/10), with insufficient filling and a subpar crust. The flavor was also a bit off. - *Black Berry Apple:* Overpoweringly sweet (5/10), with a disappointing crust and significant flavor issues. Given the shop's high prices, we expected more in terms of quality and taste. On the service side, the staff was friendly, but the atmosphere felt a bit unwelcoming at first. The ordering process was slow, despite a straightforward menu and minimal options. Improving the store's layout and service could enhance the customer experience. *Final Note:* Always double-check your receipt to ensure accuracy in your order and charges.

The best pie I have ever eaten in my life! I got there right at 10:30 AM when they opened and there was already a line to get in. They have one cashier in the front taking everyone’s orders and a lot of people pre-order because they sell out so quickly. I waited for half an hour, but it was so worth it. I got a slice of the apple white peach pie and it was out of this world! Flaky delicious crust with wonderful tasting crumbles on top and the fruit are nice big chunks and very very fresh. Will definitely be back here!

Guys. This was some unbelievable pie. I arrived at 10:25 to join a short line (there was weather that day), and was able to get the slice I wanted after about ~30 mins. People ahead of me were ordering multiple pies AND several slices, so even if the line is short you never know what will be left! I got the Blackberry Honey Peach pie, and it was great! Perfect size, crust thickness, and a wonderfully crumbly top. I just wish there was more peach! Next time I will get the Just Peach pie LOL

If you go up to visit Big Bear, and you must go up to visit Big Bear, you have to go get pie at Pickles! 😋🥧 We were camping 🏕 at Hanna Flats and met a fellow camper who told us about Pickles Pies! She told us they open at 10:30 am, and stay open till they run out. ⏳️ Well let me tell you what, they sell out before noon!! You will wait in line, but Holy cow, they have amazing pies! 💯. Not your run of the mill boring pie shop here.😄 The unique flavor profiles they lovingly and painstakingly create are like no other! 🤩 I was bummed to see that their dinning room was closed. I asked the host and he just said, COVID. 😡 So, so, many businesses were affected negatively because of COVID. Support local, and eat pie!! 🤗👍🌞💯

Have you ever had a chicken pot pie that cost $18? We hadn't either, until this past weekend. How on earth can a chicken pot pie be $18, you ask? Well - it's pure magic. There is no other way to describe it. It's rich, full of flavor; chicken chunks, shredded carrots, peas, potato, all in a crust that tastes a bit like holiday dressing (stuffing, if you prefer.) There are herbs and seasonings and a creaminess that just create this magic delight of a meal. Actual quotes from my family as we ate our pies: "I..jeez...I wasn't sure how a pot pie could cost $18 but now I see why!" "This is worth EVERY PENNY!" "How did they manage to make the peas taste so fresh?" "This crust is exquisite...you can taste and see the love." You need to order these in advance. On the day of your pick-up, be prepared to stand in a line. I waited 45 minutes to pick up my order. This is not a complaint. This is evidence of how magical this pie shop is. The pot pies come frozen, with instructions on how to cook them. Keep them frozen, do not defrost. They go straight from the freezer to the oven. They're really tall, so perhaps lower an oven rack so the tops don't get burnt. There are two employees here, the most delightful couple on the mountain. It's a slow food place. Everything is made fresh, with love, with care and considerations. You will wait in line because there are only two employees (the owners.) You will wait in line with other pie fans because everyone knows how amazing this place is. You will wait in line and be happy about it, because at the end of the line is your PIE. Also - in past years, we've ordered large quantities of dessert pies for a memorial service (very well received by the guests) as well as the occasional whole pie or slices for our own enjoyment. Sweet or savory, you cannot go wrong. Pictured: our pot pies before baking and the line waiting for pie pickups

I had the Caramel Pumpkin Pie, absolutely decadent! The crust is delicious. One slice for 7 bucks. The filling had the perfect blend of flavors, sweet caramel notes & pumpkin spice. Service is friendly. The place is a bit rundown & there’s no sitting in. The wait time was reasonable.

I have been trying to get some pies from this place ever since I saw this along Big Bear Blvd. 4 years ago! Every time my family and I go, it’s either closed on the day or it’s after their business hours. Finally, yesterday, we got pies!! And truly, the pies did not disappoint! We got strawberry-rhubarb, lemon pie, mixed berry, and, Dutch apple. Hands down, the family favorite is the lemon pie!! Next time we go (probably next summer) we will definitely get some lemon pie! And maybe try new flavors! Hopefully, by then the place will be able to have done in options.

We have been here 3 times now and will keep coming back every time we are in Big Bear. We have tried about 7 of there pies (we get slices and share) all have been amazing. We even got a whole pie once to celebrate my moms birthday. If it's a holiday weekend make sure to get here before they open so you can get in line. They only make a limited amount of pies daily. So if you want to choose from all the options make sure to show up early or you can also order ahead. Also YOU HAVE TO TRY THE FRESH MADE WHIPPED CREAM!!! The staff is always extremely kind and willing to answer questions. Now let's talk prices.... Yes the pies might seem pricey, but I think they are fairly priced for being freshly made.

Per other reviewer's recommendations, we got there early on a random summer day and walked right in. The pie selection was large, which it made it hard to pick just one or two slices... And we're gluttons, so we picked 4 slices and two savory pot pies to take home with us! Our assortment of sweet slices included nectarines, rhubarb, berries, cherries and peaches in varying combinations, all of which were too tasty to choose a favorite! The savory pies are frozen on receipt, and they provide baking directions for when you're ready. We baked one the following week and wished we'd baked both (did I mention we're gluttons?). Now that the temps are cooling down again, that second pot pie is going to soon be history! Keep in mind, it is takeout only, with no seating indoor or outdoors, so if you're not going right back to your house or vacation lodging, plan for a car picnic or take it to one of the many lovely parks in Big Bear! Definitely worth the stop!!

The line starts before it's opened! I couldn't believe it until I got there and the line was so so long already. It took maybe an hour plus so try to get there early! They were crossing items off the menu as we were waiting too and everyone gasped once it's gone which is kind of funny and sad at the same time. Anyways, they have seasonal flavors like pumpkin caramel pie (very delicious) and they have classics such as the chicken pot pie (the best). The meat pies do come frozen so be prepared for that but they give very clear instructions on how to prepare and serve. The fruit pies are amazing and my mouth is drooling thinking about it. It's fresh and not too sweet with the golden buttery crust that makes it perfect. You must get the large whipped cream that everyone is talking about (no regrets). You also have to buy in bulk for fear it will be gone so it can get very pricey but you do get your money's worth for the highest quality pies. Did I mention how adorable the store looks? It's straight out of a fairytale book! Don't forget to take a picture outside the unique and beautiful door.

This place is operated by 2 people only and they have lines out to the street starting before they open each day and stay open until they sell out. We called them at 12:15 on this Labor Day Monday because we saw that they typically close at 12:30 and he said that they had literally 2 slices left of Dutch Apple Pie ($7.00 each) for the day but that he would hold them for me if we could come now - so we did. This pie is amazing! I would love to come back next time and get here earlier to try some of their other pies. We will be back next time we are here and get a sweet tooth!

10 out of 10. Just be sure to check the hours and menu via Facebook and get there early! Salted honey pot and Blue Velvet were soooo good and the hint of rose in the blue velvet brought out the blueberry flavor. Never had anything like it. Will be driving out from Vegas for these!!!

We arrived at 12pm on a Sunday. The place was empty. Fast, friendly service. To go service only We got 3 slices of pie for $7 a slice. Carmel pumpkin, pecan, and Dutch apple pie--all three were delicious, but my favorite was the Dutch apple.

Every time we're in the area, we have to stop in and get some pie. There is limited parking spots in the lot and the exterior of the building is cute and whimsical. It's hard to miss. There is no indoor seating and it's pick up only. You can call and pre-order but you'd still have to wait in line to pay and pick up your order. We've been here a handful of times already. Last year in October, we arrived literally 5 minutes after they opened and by the time I got to the front of the line 20 minutes later, they were almost sold out of everything. I ended up with a whole Dutch apple pie and a slice of caramel pumpkin pie. The Dutch apple pie was soooo good. We were here yesterday and this time we arrived 20 minutes before they opened at 10:30am. There was already a line forming outside. I got a whole Mixed Berry Pie ($38) and two chicken pie pies ($18/each). The thing about the pies here is that you can taste all the ingredients from the buttery crust to fresh fruit. This was our first time trying their pot pies. They are frozen and you have to cook them yourself. Unfortunately mine didn't come with baking instructions but glad someone posted it on Yelp. Set oven to 375 and cook for 90 minutes (sometimes longer depending on your oven). I rotated the pot pies halfway through and at the end needed and extra 5 minutes to get up to internal temp. Wow they were so flavorful and super flaky crust my husband was definitely a fan.

I have been going to Big Bear for years and I just recently found this pie place. We bought a couple of slices the first time and we learned the trick in order for us to secure a whole pie. We call at least a day in advance and we are on time to pick them up. We love the pies. They are homemade and fresh. My whole family enjoys them. Thanks

1st time here, ordered for pick up. It gets busy and many people wait in line way before they open. Small place with great savory and sweet pie options. The place does not have tables or chairs, it is all for to-go and pick-up orders. We got the pork dinner pie, with green beans. It had a thicker, chunky consistency and flavorful. We also ordered the dutch apple and chocolate pies. The dutch apple pie was delicious and my favorite. The crumble top had the right amount of sweetness. The chocolate pie was great as well and had a good balance of filling and flaky crust. The pies come with instructions to heat and eat. Good spot to get savory and sweet pies in Big Bear area. You can follow their social media to see what they will have for sale. They also offer some coffee and tea options.

Ambiance: The witch's house from Handel and Gretel!! Food: Amazingly delicious sweet and savory pies Service: Lightning Fast! This place absolutely earns 5 out of 5 stars! We've driven by this place many times but finally made a point to stop in and get some goodies. Totally worth it! We got the Chicken Dinner and Humble savory pies and 2 slices of Sweater Weather and Caramel Apple. They were all outstanding. The crusts are perfection - flaky and crisp, not sweet. Fillings were all spot on. Service was super fast and efficient. The savory pies come frozen, with instructions and ready for baking and the sweet pies are room temp/cool and ready to eat. Prices are slightly steep but matches the quality, tons of fruit, cheese, etc., great ingredients. We'll absolutely be back for more.

Very quiet and quant little place. The owner was very helpful and answered all my questions. Was able to get a pie and a dessert pie same day. It baked up so beautifully and was absolutely amazing! Only downfall? There isn't one in our town

Amazing pies!! My new favorite pie place, honestly. Chicken pot pie - tender chicken in an amazing sauce. All savory pies come frozen, so we took it back to cook for 90 min. Roseberry pear - a perfect combo of sweet and tangy Salted honey pot - amazing custard, much sweeter compared to the Roseberry pear I think what makes these pies stand out the most is the crust. Perfectly flakey. They are open until they sell out, but you can order online (instructions in the images below). Also it's just a to-go shop, you will have to take your food elsewhere to eat. Will most definitely return!

We own a cabin in BB and every visit means stopping in at Pickles. In the last several years there's been nothing we haven't loved. Coffee options are limited, but come early grab a pot pie to have for lunch later paired with a (or a few) delicious pie slices. They're open until being sold out for the day, and believe me these pies sell out FAST. Service is lovely, and the inside decor is adorable. Keep in mind that it's a "take out" only situation- aka no inside seating.

A cute little store, you go in and wait in line and order your pie. You can get slices or whole, and even frozen ones too. There's a board with the different types of pie, and it seems that they sell out quick. Both pies had a great crumble on top and a good crust. - Sweater Weather 4.5/5 A combination of blueberries, cherries, and ginger, I thought this pie was good. - Fleur de Pear 5/5 The pear and the little bit of cinnamony taste, I really liked this pie. I thought it wasn't too sweet and it was perfect. This slice is probably the best slice of pie I have ever tasted. [RECOMMEND] There's no restroom and no place to sit. Take it togo!

We got there 10 minutes early and there were about 20 people in line. We waited about 30 minutes to get to the front and order. The mixed berry pie is spectacular. Not too sweet- just perfect 10/10! Best crust a pie could have on every pie. Crust is 10/10. Chocolate banana pie is very rich and custard-like 7/10 could have skipped the chocolate on top. The whipped cream is uniquely buttery and thick. Pecan pie 8.5/10. We look forward to trying coconut another time. Staff is very friendly and efficient.

They posted a menu of the day's pies on their facebook page but failed to mention you could preorder. We got there a little after they opened and there was a huge line. By the time we got inside all the pies we wanted to try were sold out. I noticed a sign inside that says you could preorder, which did me no good at that point. When I said something about the fact that they should have something on their page about preordering he said something like "well, now you know" which tells me they aren't worried about good customer service because they sell out so fast they don't really care if people come back or not. The only reason I'm not giving them a one star rating is because the slice I was able to try was good. I may go back again when I'm in the area and hopefully be able to get some whole pies.

Got there close to open on a Saturday and was met with a long line. Decided to wait out as it was our first time trying this spot. Well worth the wait! We ordered a slice of Honey Plum, Cherry Maple, and a Chocolate cookie style. All three were absolutely amazing. Can't wait to try the savory pies next time.

Definitely going back! New favorite spot I got the last humble pie of the day and two slices of the Dutch apple pie! (Forgot to take a picture of the apple because I gobbled them up right away!) everything was seasoned to perfection and absolutely delicious!

Such a cute place.. First time we came was Friday about 11:30 everything sold out really nice gentlemen which I'm assuming is the owner gave us some pointers basically line up early 9:30ish.. we did get a chicken pot pie & omg was it delicious!! I knew I had to come back, so Sunday I was not missing out this time! Arrives at 9:20 other cars came about 9:40 we were first in line!! Ordered 3 Dutch apple slices, 1 pecan slice and 3 pot pies. It was worth the wait, We will definitely be back! Just an overall great place. The pictures don't do it justice..

This pie place is amazing!! We have been trying to try this pie shop ever since I saw this along the way of Big Bear Blvd. I would love to come back and try more flavors! The winner for pie haul this time is Lemon Brûlée! The other flavors were also very good! Definitely, coming back!!!

A lovely little shop with a cute theme and delicious pies! I had so much fun looking at all the decorations on the walls. We arrived around 30 min before opening and there was already a line forming. I think I waited about an hour total. They do take a while to get your pie slices out but it's well worth the wait. The dutch apple was my favorite, and their whipped cream was delectable too.

Best pies in the world. Always playing great music. Sweetest 2 person staff, that hustles like no other to get through the line. Don't sleep on their frozen savory pies either. Would cross oceans of time to eat these. Also, their whipped cream is the stuff dreams are made of.

The parking lot is small and can get crowded quickly, the lines form pretty early and last throughout the day. They close once they run out of pies. The red-headed lady opening on Fathers Day was super cute and energetic, and gave lollipops to the kids in line. She greeted everyone with a smile and was very welcoming. The decor inside matched the outside, looks like you stepped into a fairy tale. I can't wait to see what the dining room will look like when they finish renovations. We got Dutch apple and pecan slices with whip. All freshly made, but my favorite was the whipped cream! Be ready to pay mountain high prices, though. They use plastic packaging and utensils, and charge $1 extra for vegan options of oat and almond milk with the coffee. Hoping in the future they make changes in these areas.

Person managing the complaint department for this small business needs to realize a person's opinion is just that. I read a review on here from whoever manages their yelp that stated they will block u off of Facebook and from being welcome into their shop (unsure how they do that) if u voice a negative opinion. Anyways the inside is very small, just enough space to get in and get out. Not a major deal as they are known for picking up and taking pies home. No problems with their pies. Just problems with their "participation award" type stances on people's opinions and the fact that when u Google their store hours it states they are open Monday. Whoever is taking the time to cry about a negative review needs to put the same effort into making sure their hours are correct online.

Pickles is a must stop now everytime we're in Big Bear. this time we got the summer bbq pie (was told its only made a few times in the summer so we're happy we got to try it), edgy veggie pie, chocolate cookie crumble cream (amazingly decadent), and white peach rhubarb. they were all soo delicious! its hard to choose but cant wait to try another batch of different flavors on our next visit! update 6/22/24: everytime we go we like to try different pies so we experience the whole menu ha! on a whim we got the Edgy Veggie Pie and good gah it was sooo good! like a combo between veggie lasagna and minestone soup. once again sooo good! cant wait till next time

Holy shiznits is this place good! We happened to drive by, saw the line wrapped outside the building and decided to stop by. Parking can get crazy but we got lucky and got in as someone was leaving. Employees are SUPER friendly, helpful and patient - one even offered us to park behind him. The inside is super small and quaint, feels like you're inside a cottage. It's a first come, first serve basis and they sell out QUICK! We had a chance to try a few different slices and decided to take a gamble on their $18 chicken pot pie and OMG it did NOT disappoint. Honestly by far the best chicken pot pie I've ever had. My favorite sweet pie was their honeycomb custard pie! It was the perf balance and sweet and salty. This place is definitely a hit and I'm already looking forward to my next trip!

Famously known for their pies. Lines typically appear before they open. A small shop you order at the counter. You can also preorder. Staff is very friendly. Meat pies are frozen and other non-meat pies are refrigerated. We ordered a variety of pies. At the cabin, everyone in our group had their favorite. Whole pies need to be ordered a day ahead.

We drove by this place several times, and each time, the cute storybook exterior caught our attention. Unfortunately, every one of those times they were closed. We were able to finally catch them on a Sunday afternoon. They closed at 2 pm so by the time we got there at 1:30 pm, they only had 1 type of pie left, the Fleur De Pear. We tried it anyway and so glad we did because it was one of the most amazing pies I've had in a while. Normally, I am not a fruit pie person but this was outrageously good, and the pear just melted in your mouth. Above all, the crust is what makes this pie good. Normal pie crust gets too bland, too doughy or too thick, but their crust was very light, and layered, adding a unique texture to the whole pie. Next time I'm coming here in the morning to try some of their other pies!

Amazing!!!! I knew it was going to be good, did not know it was going to be THAT GOOD! Check out was fast- pies presliced. I gobbled it down without even taking a pic. The whip cream is a MUST! It's a thick maple whip cream that looks like vanilla bean icecream. They've been here for 4 years but taste like they've been here for 100. Masterful recipes. We got there at 12:15pm on Sunday, and they were sold out of everything except 3 old fashion pecan pies and 3 sweat weather pies. We loved the old fashion pecan, esp the crust. The sweat weather name was accurate - it was really good and I loved that it wasn't a sweet syrupy berry. When we went, it's just a hall with a counter at the end. Not sure if booth seating is only in the AM. Either way, this was literally THE BEST PIE OF MY LIFE!!! This is a MUST TRY for anyone in the area.

Phenomenal pie! We called at the last minute on our first trip up to Big Bear and saw that they are closed on Tuesdays, yikes. They only had Dutch apple left. Well, me being a bit of a pie snob was like "I don't really like Dutch Apple pie very much." We got one slice instead of their last two and by golly, it was the best gosh darn Dutch apple I've ever had and now I'm wishing for that 2nd slice. Normally the top of Dutch apple is all those sugar and cinnamon toppings that kind of fall off (which I despise) but this one is as almost like hunks of buttery delicious granola (I mean but not! Hard to explain but sooo good to eat on their own even). So yeah. That second piece would have gone nicely with some afternoon tea..anyway, this pie place is the real deal and is so worth the trip. The crust is excellent as I am the person who eats the fruit and usually doesn't eat the crust. Not with this pie! Boyfriend and I were fighting over this crust! Theirs is flaky and buttery and the apples were perfectly tart and sweet with a not overpowering amount of cinnamon. Heaven! Place was cute inside as well. Can't wait for our next trip up here so we can try more PIE!

AMAZING. Pie is one of my favorite foods in the whole world and these don't disappoint. I always get too many slices when I go. This time I got the cherry almond, mixed berry, and caramel pumpkin. So delicious and high quality. The cherry almond has the perfect balance and so does the caramel pumpkin. Get here early otherwise they'll sell out of the pie you want, guaranteed. We got here 25 minutes before it opened and by the time we made it to get our pie, there were already sold out flavors, there's a shade for waiting and the staff is great at managing the line. Don't miss stopping at pickles pie!

The building alone makes Pickles a must see when your in Big Bear. The building looks like it was imagined by Walt Disney himself. Pickles (the business), is a handmade pie shop. They offer a variety of pies that are made on site daily. They are open until they sell out of pies. The variety here varies depending on the season. I don't love pie, but these pies are excellent.

Amazing! Simply amazing! Ordered the Farmer's Pie and it was fresh and delicious! The fruit was cooked perfectly and the crust was crumbly and buttery. An excellent slice of pie. We stopped on an early Sunday afternoon, right before closing and they were out of a lot since they o my bake what they plan to sell in a day. We will definitely be pre-ordering ahead next time so we can try a few of their other creations.

Really nice guy working there. We really enjoyed the pies. Cute decoration. Check it out!

To be completely honest, I was blown away by the flavors from the pecan pie. It is by far the best pie I have ever had and tomorrow will be buying two whole pies to take home. My wife said the service was amazing and the look of the outside is so unique. I look forward to trying more pies. You have to try this place. Get there early. We went back the next day. Updated photos before we finished them.

Get here early! Went there today and stood in a line, quick moving and pies were selling out. Picked up apple rhubarb , so delicious! Slices available too. A must try, order ahead if you know you want a specific kind, or just walk in to see what's left. But if you go too late they will be sold out.

I loved this place so much! It was so cute and the pie was absolutely incredible. I definitely recommend stopping in if you're in the area !!

Food was amazing! We bought 4 fresh made frozen pies and cooked at home. Service was really good. We spoke to the owners who are super friendly and welcoming. Only wish it were possible to dine in as well as eat at home!

The exterior reminded me of a cute hobbit house, it was so unique. Pie menu changes daily. We tried the blueberry cherry and it was wonderful. I also tried one of their teas and it was very good. You can buy by the slice or whole pies! Friendly staff.

Pies are delicious! Great service, owner was friendly and welcoming. The shop was cozy and personalized in the best way. We got a variety of pie slices to try: pistachio cream (to die for), Apple white nectarine blueberry, Pecan, White nectarine raspberry plum. All the flavors worked well together. The fresh whip cream is an added delight.

I stopped here on my visit to big bear because I saw lemon brûlée pie on the menu which are the two things married into one! They open at 9:30am and got there at 10:30am, can't believe they were already sold out of the one I came for!? So we moved on the the second choice fireworks which had strawberries blueberries and peaches. I'm not a cook fruit pie kind of girl but said why not? Gotta get something for the drive over there. Let me just say.... Wow!!!!!! It's the best pie slice I've had in a really really long time. Love the Dutch crust instead of the standard pie crust. We also got a slice of the pecan pie which I do really usually like. I can't wait to dig into!!! Im definitely going every time I'm in big bear. You guys are that good!

This place has so much hype I had to finally check it out for myself... It's good for what it is I just think so much potential is lost here not using the restaurant to its full capacity. It's a cold pie only service counter to go only pie shop. My pie was good, nothing to go crazy over. With the name "pickles" & the shop's description on Yelp I expected to be able to get hot savory pies (cottage, Shepard's, pot pies, etc) to eat there & get pie for desert. Having the desert pie warmed & ala mode wouldn't made a big difference as well. I've been to this building before when it was a cute little French place so I know the restaurant has real capabilities & potential. The service was friendly so that's a plus I was just disappointed because I didn't know I couldn't get hot food for lunch & I was dying for a hot savory pie. Also seems expensive for what you get...

Such a cute place. I had my first piece of pie from here today. If you are in Big Bear, this place is wonderful. It is not cheap but worth it! Really special.

I have had my eye on this place for a long time now! We ordered the Berry Pie and Pecan Pie. Both were very delicious. The Berry Pie was tart and had a more natural sweetness to it. This one was my favorite of the two. The pecan pie was very savory and had a nice crunch. I would definitely come back to try one of their savory pies. Just a heads up - No indoor seating! But you can take your pies to the lake or back home to eat.

This place has the best pies hands down. Crust is amazing! Highly recommend to everyone. Posting a picture of the instructions for their meat pies as I had lost it and I'm sure others had too. Their meat pies are to die for. I can't wait to get back up there and get a sweet pie and meat pie.

Cute, little pie shop in Big Bear! My friend and I finished a hike and stumbled across this place on yelp. We came about an hour from closing so they were sold out of some pies. The slices were $7 which is a little pricey but its a small business. My friend ordered the Apple Mixed Berry slice and I got the Cozy slice. I wanted to try something different and I'm glad I chose that one! It had ginger, apple and cherry. It was really good and sweet. We were a little disappointed that it was to go only as we were looking to sit inside and enjoy our pie and coffee.

A part of me wishes their dinning area was still available. I believe it was closed during COVID and now they'll be expanding their kitchen instead for go to orders. I never had the chance to experience eating in this location but their pies are worth waiting in line for a while. I've tried their sweater weather pie full of barries, their Dutch apple pie, banana cream, chocolate pudding, and pecan. They're all great. My favorite currently have got to be sweater weather, apple and pecan. Of course, you can't say no to their scoop of whip buttercream. This pie, while a big slice it's hard to share lol You Can pre order for the holidays before they run out. We've already decided on our Dutch apple for thanksgiving. Yum!

I haven't been to pickles too many times because I'm not supposed to eat sweets but everything is absolutely delicious and I would completely disregard the negative reviews because this small business is everything it's supposed to be in the owners are making wonderful products if you have a problem with them setting guidelines to be able to stay in business or selling out merchandise it sounds to me like you have a problem that's your own to deal with and I sure do hope others reading your reviews can see through whatever spoiled post you've chosen to write as absolute malarkey

I am currently at home eating the chicken pot pie right now and upon the first few bites my jaw DROPPED! I immediately knew I had to write a review so here we are. I have been visiting Big Bear for 20+ years and never discovered this place until this past weekend when we decided to take a drive into Big Bear City. When driving through the city, you'll find a cute, cottage style building which is what had me intrigued into learning more about this place... that and the name Pickles! (one of my cats that is near and dear to me) I was a little confused because it looked closed but there were open signs so I took a chance and decided to walk in. Soooo glad that I did. Also yes this place is definitely open, however, they only do take out orders. Okay let's get to the important things - the food! The menu changes... I want to say everyday but definitely seasonally. Check out Pickles' Facebook page to get the daily menu offerings. With so many amazing choices and variety of specialty pot pies, we decided to take home the chicken pot pie and the edgy veggie. Both pies were INCREDIBLE!! I honestly can't pick a favorite because I equally enjoyed them both. The crust was so buttery, flaky, and had tons flavor with the herb topping. If you're a big pesto fan like I am - get an edgy veggie. As for the chicken, well how could you not order the most classic pot pie there is to offer. The chicken was soooo tender and so flavorful. I think my only critique would be that I wished the filling was slightly thicker but that doesn't even bother me because it was absolutely delicious. Another thing I feel is important to say - it has been impossible for me to find the perfect pot pie up until now. Pickle's Pie Shop wins the BEST pot pies that I have literally ever eaten and yes it is worth all the hype that I am giving it. Pro tip - make sure you get there at opening because they do sell out fast! Next, the service - great! Amber helped us out and she was amazing and patient with us and our indecisiveness due to the overwhelming feeling of wanting to order the entire menu lol. She helped us pick out our choices and even gave us some great tips to baking them at home - 30 minutes on the bottom rack of the oven and the remainder of the baking time on the top rack until it's brown and bubbling. That tip was so helpful. She even gave us a bag of ice to keep it frozen for the drive down the hill. Thank you Amber for your great recommendations and answering all our questions. Now that I have just finished eating my chicken pot pie and writing this review, I am sad that I have no more pies at home to eat. I would literally move to Big Bear just so I can eat here all the time. That being said, this place is not just about the hype but how deserving it is of it. I can't wait to come back to try more savory and sweet pies and see what's new when I visit in a different season.

Just want to give thanks to the wonderful people on Pickles Pies. With this rainy day we decided to breakout a couple of our Frozen Pot Pies. We heated up a Humble Pie (French Onion Soup) and a Chicken Pie. These pies don't disappoint! Crust is so flaky and don't get me stated on the fillings. When you go up the the Bear, don't forget to take a cooler and bring back some of their Killer Pot Pies. We're down to our last one from the 10 we brought home. Time to make a run up the hill. And don't forget the leave room for their incredible Fruit Pies as well. Cheers
