The ricotta sandwich had “the right ratio of bread (Runner & Stone sesame seed) to filling, and the vegetables successfully stood up to the oozing and abundant ricotta.” Read more

The food is pickle-centric-- with a big selection from the Brooklyn Brine factory right around the corner. Try the extra-hot "Fire Scapes" and five-spice ramps. Read more

Their house-made shack veggie burger is complied from grilled vegetables and mushrooms, and comes with bread and butter pickles, aioli, and ketchup on a potato roll. Read more

Low-key but well-stocked craft-brew bar adds a small menu of meatless sandwiches, salads, and snacks, as culinarily inventive as a smoked-tofu bánh mì adorned with house-fermented kimchee and avocado.

Vegetarian here: One of my favorite spots in Brooklyn. Love the great beers, pickles, incredible sandwiches, kimchi, pies, everything else. Entire menu is vegetarian, and I'd recommend any of it.

Pickles and beer, together at last! This collaboration between Brooklyn Brine and Dogfish Head pairs great vegetarian food with a rotating selection of brews from the beloved Delaware brewery.

The waitress said they make the veggie burger by cooking down a mixture of mushrooms, beets, and other vegetables, canning the mix, steaming it, then slicing it into patties. Holy shit it was amazing.

Amazing tofu bahn mi and grilled cheese (cashew cream is delicious for those avoiding dairy). Nice outdoor space. One of the best beer menus I've seen. Great spot.

Simple vegetarian menu, but good vegetarian - no fake meats & cheeses.. The beer list (both on draft and in bottles) makes up for the lack of meat. Nice garden out back when it's warm!

Village Voice is proud to welcome The Pickle Shack to the 2014 Choice Eats food fest! http://bit.ly/1cRzdNV. Fried pickles with aioli is as mouthwatering as it looks and sounds.

Those fried oyster mushrooms and the tofu banh mi are my favorites, don't miss out on dill pickle french fries either.
Ryan StanleyNovember 9, 2013
The grilled cheese and veggie burger are delicious - both best in the 'hood. The fries may be some of the best in the city.
Warren CohenDecember 10, 2013
Small but great menu (as others have said) and mighty beer selection. But the acoustics here are off - this spot is loud. Be wary if you want a conversation

Bucket deal is the move, 3 cans/bottles of beer for $10, bartender's choice. Sourdough Grilled Cheese is fantastic.
Peter ScordoJuly 20, 2014
Cornmeal fried oyster mushrooms provide just enough crunch for your (satisfying) munch.
Johnny WishboneDecember 21, 2013
Must for beer fans. DFH exclusives. Also for the fried pickles & the cheese plate as sandwich (get it with fries).
Kiesha Jenkins-DuffyNovember 9, 2013
The sandwiches are amazing, but there were only four drafts available the night we were there. They definitely need more taps!
David F.November 5, 2015
Quiet on a weeknight, spacious, and a good beer selection. Fried Mushrooms with Honey were a highlight.
Adam SchuitDecember 2, 2015
Interesting concept... A lot of healthy items on this menu. Check out the patio out back!
Whitney FishmanAugust 30, 2014
Awesome lunch spot for vegetarians and other. Get the pickle plate and grilled cheese.
Alex StillApril 19, 2015
Pro-tip: any bottle on the menu is available to purchase and take home.
Ian ZabelOctober 5, 2014
Everything was excellent! The grilled cheese, the tofu, beans, and the beer too

The bahn mi with smoked tofu is incredible. So is the deli pickle that comes with it

Awesome Dogfish on tap. They had some difficult to find stuff.
Jenny VassilevaNovember 29, 2013
Amazing veggie burger! The patty is delicious! And great draft beers too!

Everything to gladden a vegetarian's heart - but the banh mi is mind-blowing.

The food. All of it. And the pickles.
