Mr. Pickle's Sandwich Shop - El Cerrito, CA

Very expensive for the taste

No working restroom, stale cookies, staff isn’t friendly and the place is just dirty.

I would not be writing such a negative review if I had not had multiple disappointing experiences with the staff. I love Mr. Pickles, and have had positive experiences in the San Rafael and Concord locations. However, every time I go to the El Cerrito location and order a gluten free wrap, a couple of the staff members who help me will complain quietly to themselves about my order. How it’s more difficult and they don’t want to do it. Overall, very unfriendly and they don’t look like they want to be there. Since it’s happened on several occasions, it makes me expect this type of behavior the next time I go.

BEST SANDWICHES EVER! please come to

I wanted to have a better experience than my last. My wife wanted to go so I decided to give it another. In my last experience I was the only customer in the store and had to wait at least 5 min without being greeted by any of the 3 employees working that day. I just left. Today we got greeted by all three employees. Starting off great I thought. We were waiting a short wait while the other two employees were finishing up online orders I assume. One asked my wife what did she want, as she was taking her order, another customer walked in and the other employee never asked me if I was ready to order. No acknowledgment at all and proceeded to help the new customer. The third employee walked back in and also another customer. Still no acknowledgment, didn’t ask who next just assumed they were next. I left and will never come back. Very poor communication and customer service!

The sandwiches are very good. The only issue is the bread is hard so if you like cold sandwiches I wouldn't recommend.

Really horrible customer service. The workers are not friendly and still ask for tip. The owner needs to find better staff.

This particular Mr.Pickles is the worst. Everytime I have gone there to get a sandwich they mess up my order. Today was the third and final time will ever buy for this location. The one in Martinez is supreme and you should take the time to drive out there instead. I hate this location.

Don’t get the draw. The place seems to use quality ingredients, but then they microwave everything instead of toasting so everything ends up soggy and chewy. If I go back I will definitely get a cold sandwich.
