Loved my biscuit, chicken, egg, and cheese...with Bloody Mary! Good hearty hearty meal and a great place to seek Hangover relief.

Everything on their menu is amazing! From the food to the drinks. Try something new. Can't really go wrong.

It was my favorite place until last night. In the middle of our dinner we started to be continually disturbed by the waitress asking aren’t we done yet although we didn’t finish the half of our plates

Seriously mac n cheese here is fantastic. Choose either classic or buffalo chicken. Awesome with beer flights.
Joel PavelskiAugust 19, 2014
The $16 pickle sampler is absolutely enormous, good for the whole table. You can't go wrong with the pickled green beans or the loaded Bloody Mary.

Did the biscuits and gravy, awesome! As a NYC visitor, the vibe here on a weekend afternoon is not something to miss. Tons of great beer on tap.

My favorite soul food restaurant in nyc. The chicken will melt in your mouth. Honey Chicken was amazing. Simply the best fried chicken i ever had!

This place is fantastic. Great beer selection and the food was out of sight. Come hungry and don't let your eyes be bigger than your stomach- the portions are huge.
Olivia FabbroJuly 14, 2015
SOO good!! Try the sausage gravy chicken sandwich or bacon egg and chicken! Both so good. Very hipster and great biscuits
Andrea BarrezuetaMarch 3, 2015
Shared the shrimp salad plus a side of fried chicken... Perfect after fried pickles, fried green tomatoes and the Mac n cheese. Oh and the BLT bloody pls..
Caroline RitterJanuary 20, 2019
The chicken biscuits are great but HUGE. Definitely smart to split one. And the beer selection is fun.

Our favorite spot. Jacob is here every night & is more than happy to talk to every table. Fantastic food. We've tried & enjoyed everything on the menu. Great beer selection.

the chicken bacon and cheese actually just melts in your mouth, hands down the best southern restaurant I’ve tried. portions are also massive
Daniel NgJuly 24, 2019
Pretty sizeable portions. This style of fried chicken is not the usual expected from other fried chicken joints. Different style of crunchiness and flavour of the crust/batter. Quite noisy indoors.
Olivia CostiganSeptember 29, 2019
Pickle flight for appetizer and BLT for main. Have also gotten Mac & cheese as a side and delicious. Club music is also on par 👌🏻

Incredible chicken and pancakes - huge portions!! Great atmosphere, best fresh orange juice I've ever had!!
Jessie CatanaSeptember 28, 2015
Just can't get enough of this place! Yes, it is definitely worth the exorbitant wait times. Go hungry and try as much as you can!
Cindy lauJune 23, 2015
They serve meatloaf now. And it's not your momma's either. It's delicious. Also, the honey chicken biscuit is always a winner.
Amy CummingsMarch 7, 2017
This might be my favorite restaurant in the city! The food is delicious and the portions are HUGE! You can definitely split them.
Danny ZuckermanJanuary 13, 2019
The food smelled good. Unfortunately they'll tell you 30 minute wait and it will be 90, and then they'll tell you 1 more minute and it will be 15, and eventually you'll go to JG Mellon across the st.
Clarice MeadowsApril 20, 2016
Cheesy grits, biscuit sandwiches with gravy, porch sipper, pickle selection. It's all good.
LukeMay 1, 2016
Holy mother of portions. Maximalist Southern inspired menu that's like Cracker Barrel on crack. Good pickles and beer options. Eat til you can't

Great for group brunches. Food is amazing, but very heavy
Village VoiceSeptember 16, 2013
Try the honey chicken biscuit sandwich—flaky, paprika-rich fried chicken topped with hot spicy sour pickles, and a biscuit soaked through with honey. Yum!

I could rave about absolutely everything on this menu. Definitely try the fried pickles and anything with biscuits. The honey julep is also amazing!

Went for a late lunch and we both had fried chicken and biscuits and they were both really really good. Great range of beers.

Start with fried pickles! Catfish tacos are incredible. Fried chicken that would make your mom jealous. Grits...not as great. But overall really great!

Anna TyburskiMarch 24, 2013
Get the fried pickles. Honey chicken and pickles sandwich, sausage gravy & chicken, and the southern BLT were all amazing. Service is top notch. Will be back!

Large fries feeds a village. The pickles are amazing. Sour and Dill were ones I tried and loved them. Great service. Great atmosphere.
Bonnie EisenmanMarch 13, 2015
Everything is delicious! The ribs were incredible. I usually get the meatballs with green tomato -- listed as an appetizer but very filling.

Order any of their chicken biscuit sandwiches with pickles (hot sours!). Also, the best fried pickles I've ever had. Excellent beer selection.

You cannot go wrong at Jacob's Pickles. I absolutely love this place. Just be ware, it is ALWAYS busy, but it will definitely be worth it

Huge plates of food, the chicken "sandwiches" (expect to use a knife and fork!) are delicious - especially the Nashville Hot.
Mark PritchardFebruary 28, 2015
Always busy and guaranteed a minimum 45 min wait for a table, but well worth the wait. Amazing food. The Chicken pancakes are the best.

You thought your ordered small fries as an appetizer? False. Your ordered a bucket of fries that can serve four. Great food, huge portions, you will take some of it home with you.
Lydia VanWormerFebruary 13, 2017
I've come several times with friends and family who visit NYC. DO NOT MISS the Buffalo Chicken Mac 'n Cheese!!
Angelica YoungNovember 20, 2014
The chicken and pancakes are really good. Don't underestimate what people say about the portions - the size of the pancakes are pretty substantial

I just love this place! Buffalo mac and cheese, bacon brussels sprouts and fried pickles are my favorites.
Erin MurphyOctober 2, 2014
Everything is delicious. Everything. The pickle sampler comes with a lot of each kind. The biscuits are to-die-for.
Mil4n SDecember 29, 2015
Amazing!!! For true foodies, and the rest of us whole eat big portions. + beer + whiskey. Well worth a wait!
Jonah EatonDecember 27, 2015

One appetizer, one entree, 6 drinks—to share for two people will be more than enough (number of drinks is variable). Well worth your money.
Naomi SaphraOctober 28, 2015
On a cold day, they served complimentary hot totties (heated cocktails) to the outdoor tables. The pickled jalapeños were great, too.
KelseyJune 2, 2014

Absolutely amazing. Get the Bloody BLT and the Chicken Bacon Egg & Cheese sandwich, you will not be disappointed.
