About Picnic

Picnic is a retail boutique, take-out meat market, bakery space that offers a variety of options for different diets including vegetarian, vegan, carnivore, omnivore, sweet-tooth, carbotarian, and pescatarian. Their menu features staple selections like rotisserie chicken and potatoes, as well as daily changing sandwiches, soups, and empanadas. One standout is the Farro soup, praised for its delicious taste. Sandwiches, such as the corned beef sandwich, are also highly rated. The rotisserie chicken is consistently amazing—juicy and flavorful—and pairs well with roasted potatoes and a medley of tasty sauces. The fried chicken sandwich is a popular choice, often described as the best ever, with a generous serving of fried chicken on a fluffy bun, tasty sauce, and toppings. It is only available on Fridays and is considered a good "treat yourself" meal, with a price of $17 that many find worth it, especially since it’s large enough to split. The staff are quick and friendly, making service pleasant. Additionally, Picnic offers a wide selection of cured meats and sausages for purchase. While the food and service are praised, some customers feel the owners seem a bit distant and less welcoming. Overall, Picnic provides well-curated, delicious options that leave customers happy after every visit.
