Well staffed, good food. You really can't complain on this one. Just communicate what it is you want, they seem eager to be helpful, in general, the steak and cheese and fresh hot lunch they put out is all good ?

This is the 2nd time I ordered something from this place and had to wait longer than usual. Today specifically, I ordered 2 large chicken noodle soups to go. Something very easy to prep. I walk in and give them my name for the order. I assumed it wasn’t ready because no one brought my food for me. I waited for another 25 minutes with nothing in my hand while other customers that came into the store to place an order, received it before me. Like I said, this is the 2nd time this happened. And when I show frustration I get looked at as if I’m wrong. Do better with the service!

Great deli. The sandwiches are nice and thick like old school deli’s used to make. I’ve been a customer since they opened about 21 years ago and will continue to patronize now that I live in Stratford. They are always busy but the service is efficient and counter help are friendly. Highly recommend.

Errant Lines

Vegetarian options: Only one vegetarian option for wrss. Breakfast can be made vegetarian, but they are explicit in stating it's made on the same grill as meat.

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 ordered ahead 10 times in a row. I arrived 15 mins later each time between 11:15 and 12. I waited an average of an extra 17 minutes each time.

The wait I dont understand. Busy or not there is an army of awesomely friendly and conversational employees busting their butt.

The Pickle Barrel gets 4/5 because of the friendly staff and quality food. For that extra point they need to tweak their service system. However if you are in the Stratford area this is a must try during your lunch travels.
