Jacob's Pickles

Upper West Side & Central Park

LoginSave

Jacob's elevates the humble pickle to exalted status at this dark, loud and boisterous good-time eatery. Aside from briny cukes and other preserves, you'll find heaping portions of upscale comfort food, such as catfish tacos, chicken and panckes, and cheeseburger mac 'n' cheese. The biscuits are top-notch. Two dozen or so draft craft beers showcase brews from coast to coast.

Pickle lovers shall not miss the addictive pickle soft-serve ice cream ($5 serves two) at its next-door sister restaurant Lucky Pickle Dumpling Co.
