  • From my guide, updated September 2026.

Aptly named, Pickle Guys specializes in pickled good. Using a kosher-certified Eastern European pickling method (curing in a barrel), the variety spans the gamut. From pickled watermelon and pineapple to Brussels sprouts and horseradish pickled, the establishment is gorged with an exciting assortment of foods to try.
