Pickle Me Pete

PICKLES GALORE! pickle lovers of the world unite! i love this place. i go go like twice a month to refill on my jar of full sours! mmmm garlicky deliciousness! the owner is super nice on the phone, and the woman who mans the counter is beyond friendly. thumbs up for the pickle me pete punch card for loyal customers! add that this place is within walking distance from me, and it’s a 5 for me! get your pickle on people.

Just walk in and the smell will intoxicate you! Amazing, Amazing, AMAZING! So happy to find this little shop near by. Best pickles ever!

This review is for the booth they have set up at the Bryant Park holiday market (2015), I’ve never been to their store in Hicksville.
I’d never heard of fried pickles before I stumbled upon their booth in Bryant Park, but knew I had to try one when I saw the small sign that read «vegan» I’ve had the fried pickles with their vegan ranch (which is great) and vegan honey mustard (I was told there’s no honey in it). The honey mustard is so much better than regular honey mustard. It was like mustard with a hint of sweetness, instead of all sweetness with a hint of mustard flavor. The fried pickles are also amazing, they’re perfectly crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside. They’re as satisfying as I remember fried chicken to be. My only complaint is that $ 7 is a bit pricey for one order of fried pickles. But I understand that it’s probably not cheap to have the booth in Bryant Park to begin with. In addition to fried pickles, they also sell normal pickles. I’d love to try these but I don’t think I can spend money on regular pickles over fried ones now… maybe I’ll get around to trying them if I ever visit their store.

I had Pickle Me Pete in Bryant Park and actually met Pete! He’s really nice. It was my first time having Fried Pickles and its definitely not my last. So good! And its VEGAN!!!

great pickles, good price, open 4 days a week, and they also go to fairs. In addition to the different type of pickles they have a great selection of olives. These are the pickles you grew up with.

Hmm, Who would have thought that I would get excited for the opening of a new pickle store? It’s a nice thing given that I won’t have to worry about them infringing on business from the old pickle store. Since we never had one before.
Pete’s little shop here in the industrial area of Hicksville has a nice selection of olives, pickles, pickle tomatoes, sauerkraut and pickled vegetables. Now I’m not one for the taste of olives myself, but I got a nice selection for the family, as well as some pickles, and a nice court of my own favorite they half sours.
Good old-​fashioned taste in these pickles, and of course, as always, no calories. Sounds like a winning combination to me. I shall be back for more when these run out.

The fact that there’s a pickle place located walking distance from my house is not ok. Well actually, it’s fantastic who am I kidding. Am I the only one who loves a good pickle ?
The pickles here are delicious! I’m a full sour kind of girl and it’s hard to find them in the supermarket usually you can just find bread and butter and dill. Their full sours are great! Pucker up. I also really like the chipotle chip ones (sweet then spicy) and the horseradish one is good too. If you like horseradish (it’s the ingredient in cocktail sauce fyi) and sour pickles give them a try. If you’re unsure of what to get they do give out samples for you to try. If you’re nervous about getting the quart don’t worry they last awhile in the fridge.
Owners are very nice. They also sell olives, sauerkraut, green tomatoes and I’m pretty sure they had pickled mixed veg too. You can’t miss this place there’s a giant pickle painted on the garage door and a pickle bench outside. Located right next to ultimate gym. The one downside? Parking is terrible!

Not just pickles… but pickles and olives! Pickle Me Pete has a nice sized variety of flavors to sample and choose from. You can buy per pickle, by the container, or even party platters. I can’t wait to bring my friends!

Hands down THE best pickles you will find! Seeing is believing, and so is tasting! All of our ratings can’t lie. :)

Best pickles in the world in my opinion. I look forward to them every time I’m in Bryant Park. Love it there! Would definitely recommend to fellow pickle lovers — especially the super spicy ones!

Best pickles in the city in my opinion. Hands down. Full sour /​full sour horseradish are my favorites. I am buying a quart a week and going to buy a lot of them (2 – 3 gallons) at the beginning of January before they closed till next year

SWEET CHIPOTLE PICKLES
$ 7/​quart
I went to the Bryant Park stall almost every week for their Sweet Chipotle Chips. O how I miss them so now that it’s over. BUT! Save your pickle juice if you ever buy pickles and re-​pickle them with cucmbers/​celery/​etc. That’s how I’ve kept the fond memory of PIckle Me Pete in my fridge.

Totally mistook this pickle vendor for Horman’s! I was at the Bryant Park Christmas market when I walked past and almost died from excitement. Every time I go home to Boston I get Horman’s from the Morningside Heights Market to bring my mother. Needless to say, when you are expecting one thing and you get another, it’s very uneven group for the other.
My first impression with Pickle me Pete’s was not good. The guy working the stand was completely miserable. I get that he was probably working there all day and it’s freezing cold outside, but put a damn smile on your face and interact with your customers. He was so miserable that I wasn’t even excited to get to eating my pickled horseradish cukes.
When I did finally try the pickles I wasn’t impressed. Of course I was comparing them to Horman’s but they didn’t even compare. They had the faintest horseradish flavor and weren’t marinated long enough.
All in all pair the bad service with the mediocre pickle and you get 2 stars. I always support local businesses and hate to knock them but I was really disappointed with the poor service.

I visited the Bryant Park location. :)
I love this pickle stand. Their sweet chipotle is delicious. The super spicy was spicy and tart. I wish you could taste the pickles prior to buying but you don’t need to be apprehensive. They seem to be all delicious. If you enjoy pickles, you’ll love Pete’s pickles: x

My wife was doing some skating at Bryant Park, so I decided to grab a pickle while I was waiting. I had the super-​spicy pickle, which was quite yummy. I was still hungry though, so I went back and ordered the ridiculously spicy pickle, which came with a warning from Pete himself: «It is worlds apart from the super spicy pickle.» «Eh, how hot could it be?» I thought to myself and dove in. A few bites into this pickle, and I could tell it was definitely spicy. By the time I got about half-​way through, I started looking around for the hidden camera. No pickle was going to kick my ass though, so I manned through it. By the time I got done eating that pickle, I thought for sure someone was going to give me a t-​shirt for finishing the thing. Three hours later, my lips were still burning.
Quite an experience, to say the least. If you like spicy stuff, stick with the super-​spicy. Unless, that is, you lean toward tendencies of masochism.

I came with a Groupon deal $ 7 for two quarts of pickles.
–Unfortunately there are no samples. I chose a quart of the Sweet Chipotle Chips and a quart of the Small Super Spicy (medium).
–I prefer the Sweet Chipotle because you get best of both worlds. Sweet at first and then a small kick at the end which only lingers for a few seconds. I just wish it had more crunch to each bite!
–The Small Super Spicy was tolerable for me and actually not as spicy as I had expected.
–I’m not a big fan of pickles but the Sweet Chipotle Chips were quite addicting. I’ll be back Pickle Me Pete!

I LOVE pickles, and it wasn’t until 2 years ago that I had ever heard of or tried a fried one.
The Huntington Fall Festival was this weekend and although it rained today I went back to the Picklemepete tent to see what was up. The girl that helped us was very friendly and I must say everything was priced well.
I had the fried pickles on the skewer with buttermilk ranch dressing (umm to die for?), and 4 small pickles (horseradish, 2 kosher dill, half sour) all for $ 9. And by small I don’t mean the midgety kind, but also I don’t mean huge. (They did have reeealllyy big ones but I decided to not be a pig).
My best friend was equally happy with the pickles, I wish they had a store nearby. I’d also like to mention that I had fried pickles at both Hooters and Buffalo Wild Wings, and they don’t compare to the fried pickles I had today.
Kind of want to have a pickle party now lol. They do deliver ;]

Pickle Me Pete ROCKS!
Are you a pickle lover? Cause if you aren’t you will be and if you are, you’ve arrived!
I used to visit the other Pickle people (I asked my sis who they were and she said: no idea, they suck” — no offense to any other companies) and found pickles but never any to make me jump with glee, never any that make my mouth water at the thought of it and have me looking forward to going home, reaching into the fridge for a few crunchy pieces — but just a few, because you have to portion control or you’d eat the entire quart at once, and then contemplate drinking the juice haha. I’d most definitely save it for more pickling though.
Ok, so my Absolute Favorite — Sweet Chipotle Chips
They start out with the perfect balance of Sweet, Tangy and Crunchy and then end with a slow burn of spicy fire that lingers on your tongue.
I need to get more…
Oh, they do not sell out of a storefront, only at streetfairs and online orders. You can follow them at:

Whoa, was that Snookie peeking out from a barrel?
Pickles, in every delicious taste sensation you can imagine (and no freakin’ weird things like Koolickles, thank God). Just:
Half (new) sour
Full Sour
Kosher Dill
Horseradish Pickle
Super Spicy
Ridiculously Spicy
Pickled Green Tomato
Bread & Butter Chips and
Sweet Chipotle Chips
From a little cask-​filled kiosk in beautiful Bryant Park, Pickle Pete offers up Brooklyn born, barrel-​cured pickles one at a time. He also vends them in quart to-​go containers, by the platter-​full, or — if you’re really feeling it — by home delivery where you can really indulge that pickle craving via a pickle-​of-​the-​month type offering that’ll sate you with up to 3 quarts monthly for the entire year. Yowza.
The pickles? They’re damned good. I tried a Horseradish Pickle, a Super Spicy Pickle, and a Half Sour Pickle (a new favorite of the owner) and there wasn’t an errant taste sensation in the bunch. I’m feeling the pickle love here.

I had them at the Lexington Fall Festival and I got a quart for $ 7. We can mix and match as well! I got the regular full sour garlic and the half sours (my mom likes them). They sell pickle chips too but I like the whole pickle. They even have a website and a Long Island number for those pickle lovers!
Oh and their pickles are so good I even made fried pickles and they were awesome!
