I got hungry while hanging out at Odd Side Ales' outdoor space over the summer and The Toasted Pickle was just across the street. The online ordering indicated you can tell them your table number at Odd Side and they'd deliver it right to you, but the picnic table we were sitting at outside didn't have a table number. I opted to just order it for pickup, since it was literally 500 yards away.
Nate and I ordered the Italian bomber and a side of beer battered fries to split. The online ordering said it would be about 20-24 minutes, and I got a text when my order was done. I walked right up to the pickup window and got our bag of food.
Everything was hot and fresh and the sandwich was huge! The romaine lettuce on the sandwich kind of overtook everything but it was also loaded with meat, cheese, and spicy giardiniera. I wish they had cut it in half for us, but we made it work. It was incredibly messy but so delicious! I'm a sucker for a good Italian sandwich, and this was a great one. All the ingredients were fresh including the veggies, and it was pretty stacked for $10. The beer battered fries were amazing! I love this style of fry and theirs were excellent, with a crisp exterior but fluffy inside. They were a bit too salty but the big sea salt flakes wiped off easily so we could enjoy most of the bag. It was a big portion even though I ordered the "regular" and not "share" size - maybe I actually received the share size. Either way, I wouldn't hesitate to get these again.
I'm so glad we tried the Toasted Pickle and will make it a regular stop when we're in Grand Haven!
