For all the drinkers who enter JPs ... Order a John Daly ... Half n half w/ vodka or gin ... #YoureWelcome
Madeline McDavidJanuary 8, 2016Amazing fried chicken, pickles and southern-style cooking. The outdoor seating in warm weather is extremely pleasant.
Dustin LeeJune 15, 2018Some of the best deviled eggs I've ever had. Beware of overloading on apps because entree portions are huge
Alex RobertsonJanuary 11, 2017I have a wholly ambivalent relationship to the chicken proferred by this BUMPIN' UWS spot, but the pickles themselves are great.
Fried chicken with the sausage gravy is classic. Hot chicken is bomb too. BLT bloody!!
CailinJanuary 17, 2015Pickle flights, solid beer list, get honey on the side for your biscuit sandwich, and save a slice for 'dessert'.
Jackson DowneyMay 12, 2013Been here a few times. I love the chicken and pancakes. It's very frustrating that they have such a large bathroom and no baby changing station. Had to change Logan on the floor once. Never fun.
Terence PopeMarch 23, 2017Amazing All Across The Board!! I Love Their Mac and Cheese!!! It's A Must Have
Sam KrasnikNovember 29, 2015Cheese grits are great. Fried Chicken is good. Be sure to bring a jacket if it's cold as the doors may be open!
Amazing food but even better customer service. Jacob is awesome. Our food took a bit long to come out so he gave a us a growler worth of beer on the house!- David MilbergJuly 6, 2016The mac and cheese is delicious. It can be very busy though, so go off peak!
Split the biscuit French toast. It is neither French nor toast, but it is both delicious and massive.
Order the Biscuits and Fixins as soon as you sit down, then decide what else to order while you enjoy them, as they arrive quickly.
LynnFebruary 4, 2016One of the best mac n cheese with bacon. The fried chicken on a biscuit also beats most
The Spicy Pickle Margs will change your life. Amazing biscuits and fried chicken. Neighborhood fave!
BollareNovember 27, 2012For the indulgent types, treat yourself to their sausage gravy smothered buttermilk fried chicken. It's amazingly flavorful and never disappoints! –Dara
Brooklyn comes to the Upper West Side, via a detour through the American South. So hip it hurts, but there is a pickle for whatever ails you.
Everything is glorious. Be prepared to wait. It is totally worth it for biscuits and bacon and beer.
Trae FMarch 8, 2018The food is delish and the portions are massive. Savvas is the best server on the UWS!
RisaJune 10, 2014I don't know why everyone freaks out about the fried pickles--they somehow managed to be both watery and oily. But the Sausage Gravy Smothered Chicken on a buttermilk biscuit is rib-sticking yum.
- Marcela De Pelegrin LopesJanuary 25, 2019Amazing food! Have the chicken honey, devil eggs and pickles off course!
Annie AlfstadMarch 7, 2017Omg biggest potions ever! This place will make u want to be fatter so I can eat more....
Joann LimJune 30, 2014I've never been a huge fan of macaroni and cheese. But the Mac and cheese here far exceeded my expectations.
Hattie BrownSeptember 14, 2014Oatmeal with cherries, almonds & hemp seed = bliss (perhaps the only healthy menu item, too)
Sean McNealFebruary 4, 2014If you're in NYC and you can get to "Jacob's Pickles", get there! On Amsterdam btwn 84th and 85th!!Too Yummy!
I tried the fried pickles after seeing so many tips to get them but I wouldn't get them again. I guess I'm just not a fan. The chicken sandwiches, root beer floats, and caesar salad are all yummy!
Kyle ByeMay 31, 2015Stick to the chicken biscuit sandwiches (like the Chicken BLT). They're amazing and served with cheese grits!
Nirav SuchakMay 31, 2014All American food, and they have a pretty swell cocktail collection. Oh, and lots and lots of pickle!
Anastasia BezverkhaOctober 13, 2014The pickles are sooo good! Shrimp & grits is off the charts too! Yummy! Def will come back.
Amanda HuDecember 11, 2016I appreciate the large portions. Get the biscuits n fixins and the pickle sampler and you'll be full
Free beer flight sample from Jacob, himself. What a quality dude, knows his beer inside and out
Sean J.January 26, 2014Serious winter time comfort food. A stout draft and fried chicken, egg, & cheddar cheese on a biscuit was dumb good.
Jinnie LFebruary 28, 2015this place is legit! good food, good service. their sausage gravy(biscuits & gravy) is so good~
Emily WadeSeptember 9, 2013Amazing. Quite a wait, but outdoor seating & incredible food. Not unlimited but worth it none the less
Fair warning: the portions are HUGE. Everything is good. Get the Bloody BLT at brunch.
EliseOctober 3, 2018While waiting for the table, 2 group of ppl passed by saying Jacob’s Pickles is so good. This is how good this place is.
William HortzFebruary 18, 2015Bourbon mojito, mushroom smothered buttermilk fried chicken, sweet-hot pickles & creamy grits!
C RokJune 9, 2013Excellent beer options, pickles and growlers to go...biscuits are amazing. Will be back for sure.
