The Pickle Barrel

The sandwiches here are delicious! I got the busy bee when visiting CT back and February and was excited months later to realize that we’d be driving right by this place on i95. I ordered The Busy Bee again and was not disappointed!! It was just as delicious as the first time. Even better they made my lunch sandwich for me at 7am! I highly recommend the Pickle Barrel! The breakfast burrito was delicious too.

This is my favorite lunch spot for deli sandwiches and grinders. I highly recommend the chicken cutlets and meatballs. Pasta salad was great too! I came here a few days in a row while in town on a work assignment. I will definitely come back when I’m in the area!

Warm welcoming atmosphere with polite staff and expedient service. It has a rustic cabin feel with wooden walls and floor, there's 4 tables that seat 4 people each and ample room around them. A 5th table in the corner sits 2 Sandwiched between the open space and the food preparation station, is a little dessert bar that will satisfy any sweet tooth craving you have. Lining the walls are a great variety of different chip flavors, I got Rosemary and Olive Oil flavor chips by Deep River. Along the very end is a large selection of bottled beverages. Most of this is common for any decent establishment but what got me is the Steve's special. Fried chicken cutlet with American cheese, onion rings, lettuce, tomato with Russian dressing. If this sounds appetizing to you, it's because it is. Ad

Pickle Barrel Deli is a fun, unique deli in Stratford, CT conveniently located on Main Street. They offer a daily selection of hot food including some sort of pasta, grilled chicken, rice or potatoes and a delicious, fresh made Turkey breast. Of all those options the Turkey is the best. However their signature sandwiches are where this place shines. Sure, you can get your usual deli favorites; rueben, roast beef, BLT, Italian Combo etc, but by far the standouts are the unique specialt options such as; American Combo, The Rachel, Beef Eater, Steve Special, and the Gobbler(Thanksgiving dinner in a wrap) The best and worst part of this deli are the staff. Though extremely friendly the service is extremely slow. I don't think it is without hard work but maybe their system is just a mess. I

EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTED with the attitude from the caisher...The food is good buy expensive...When the workers are rude, rolling eyes bc I ask why she charged 1.25 for cheese on wrap...The girl who took my order came & explained nicely....Thankful Chefs Table offer the same so I dont have to return here again!!!
