Pickles-A Deli

The only thing I ever order here for myself is their fresh roasted turkey sandwich! I split it with my daughter since it’s huge. The rest of my family have ordered ham and cheese sandwiches and we once ordered a steak and cheese sandwich. Hands down the best deli around! I just wish they were open on the weekends as it’s difficult for me to get there during the weekdays.

I stopped in for lunch with a couple of co-​workers while on our lunch break from visiting NAPS. One of other co-​workers had been here and liked it. It was a 15 minute ride but very worth it. I ordered a wrap off the specialty menu that included turkey and cranberry salsa. It was very tasty with a slight hint of some heat. The wrap itself was stretched to capacity with the meat. Although they offered various pasta salads as a side, I opted for the many varieties of potato chips they offered. My co-​worker had the Roast Beef Supreme which was very impressive looking and from what I heard, tasty.
There is a nice amount of seating if you decide to eat in. The prices were very reasonable for the size and quality of the meal. The service was friendly and welcoming to us. Next time I’m in the area, I’ll be back.

Best deli on the island, hands down. The food was delicious and the staff was friendly. My only complaints are that some of their sandwiches are a bit pricey, and also that the restaurant itself isn’t the best in terms of sitting in and eating, as there are lots of tables in a small space. You’ll have people standing on top of you, or will have a butt or other areas in your face as you’re eating.
Also…cash only. That’s REALLY annoying. Its 2015.
I still highly recommend the restaurant!

Everything is fresh and great!

Wow. The Cuban here was tastey. Topped with a ton of bacon. I was very surprised how much I enjoyed it, and Jeez was it big. Couldn’t finish it. Shocking cuz I eat a lot. So suffice it to say, the serving size is large. Great bottle sodas too. Garlic pickles were really good but $ 2 for a pickle is a little pricey. I can’t wait to go back.

I was looking for a quick lunch before going to the movies in Middletown and chose Pickles-​A-​Deli based on the Unilocal reviews and proximity to the theater. Pickles is located in a strip mall on Aquidneck.
The menus are located on white boards on the walls, they offer 40+ sandwiches as well as a create your own option, so you can basically get whatever sandwich you can dream of. Sides include a number of different soups, chips and a few different cold pastas.
I ordered a chicken pesto panini and my wife got a chicken salad. The staff was very nice and offered her a sample of the chicken salad before ordering (she even told us what local farm the chicken came from).
The panini was average at best. The center was a bit cold and could have used another minute or two on the press to heat up like the rest of the sandwich. The chicken salad sandwich was slightly better.
The restaurant could use a bit of work. There were some tiles in the corner that were coming up and the windows looked to be on their last leg.
While Pickles was OK for a quick lunch, there are better options in the area, I do not plan to return.

I was in town enjoying a great bike ride and decided it was time for a great deli sandwich after working up an appetite! I’ve never been to Pickles before but as I was driving by the outdoor sign caught my eye so I turned around to see what they had to offer. First, the outside of the building is very clean and inviting, the inside was equally as clean with a cool ambience that promotes a casual setting. The cashier/​server was very friendly and nice which made me feel welcomed and appreciated! The Ceaser Wrap I ordered was perfect! It was made with the right amount of dressing, fresh lettuce and I added tomatoes and onions which were fresh as well. I definitely recommend this place if you’re in Newport RI and are looking for a great place for lunch.
I will definitely be back :-)

I stopped in the other day and got a #1, the turkey club on a croissant, potato salad, and cole slaw. And an oatmeal raisin cookie. The woman behind the counter was very friendly. I super loved the cole slaw. I think sides are the big hit or miss things at delis. You find a lot of bland stuff. I would go back just for the cole slaw. The dill potato salad was ok but not quite for me. I give them credit for at least trying to add some flavor to it but it was not balanced well. Daves Marketplace makes the best dill potato salad. The sandwich was fine but I am wondering why they don’t use the house roasted turkey on all their turkey sandwiches instead of just the one? This was deli turkey and it was fine but not special. If you are making turkey anyway, it would be better with the house made turkey. The cookie was a bit crispy for my taste. I like my oatmeal cookies to be soft. Not bad but maybe a matter of preference. It is my favorite kind of cookie but it is hard to find a good one. An ok stop. I would return.

Great place for sandwiches! Wraps are great, I had a «Pickles Cuban» and it was delicious! Prices aren’t bad and the size of the sandwich and quality make it worth it.

I’ve been going to Pickles’ for years. The best homemade thanksgiving day sandwich there is. They bake a fresh turkey everyday and you can order white or dark meat or both. The staff is very friendly as well. Oh, I also have to mention the Pickles Cuban sandwich special, it’s ridiculously good and if I see it as a special, I get it!

Pickles is the kind of place where YOU’RE the lucky one if you eat there. It’s the kind of place that is a shining beacon of hope in your otherwise bland weekday (closed on weekends sadface). The kind of place some people wait a lifetime to find. You’ve followed the rainbow and Pickles is the pot of gold at the end.
5MILLION stars goes to the staff made up of the most wonderful humans with the most wonderful attitude. They smile, joke around, make suggestions all while remaining professional and pleasant. They are the real reason people come back. The food is incredible too don’t get me wrong, but the people behind the counter are also stars and make this place so desirable. I’ve been there a few dozen times and they know my order, my name, and sometimes throw a surprise in my to-​go bag. The first time I saw a surprise cookie i nearly burst into happiness tears. THEY CARE ABOUT ME THEY REALLY CARE. Those little things, man. They really get me.
My go-​to lunch is the Jaws. A melt in your mouth tuna salad with thinly sliced tomato, soft melty cheese, stuffed inside a soft warm syrian pocket. It’s just… perfection. I’m really into tuna salad and Pickles truly makes the best. I’ve also been working my way through all the soups. I usually go with cheddar broccoli, followed by italian wedding. I cannot recommend these enough.
I’m sorry but I really can’t get enough of this amazing deli. I want to send everyone who works there a Christmas card.

Pickles offers a good variety of sandwiches. My favorites include the Little Porky and the Thanksgiving sandwich. The staff is friendly and helpful.
A great place for lunch!

Great sandwich spot, if you are visiting in Newport. The environment is very casual, menu is reasonably priced and the sandwiches are delicious!
If you are visiting the beach, it’s a great spot to pick up a take out sandwich and take with you.

I work at the salon next door. Love going there for a quick sandwich. The staff are awesome! The sandwiches are huge! Fresh and the Mac an Cheese is out of this world! Order ahead or chill there. Enjoy!!!

The foods amazing! I hate admitting it buuttt they make better sandwiches then my mommas ever made me!

I’m enjoying half a Reuben and half a blue max sandwich! Blue max is a turkey and ham sandwich with Swiss cheese and smother in a rich creamy blue cheese dressing. First time here but definitely not the last.

Delicious blt & Italian wedding soup. Def my new favorite lunch spot! Just wish it was open on the weekends so my fiancé could try it

Thanks to another appointment, I once again found myself in the Newport area. I just love sandwiches so I decided to go to a place in nearby Middletown that I have been driving by for years — Pickles.
A while back, the restaurant sign used to read: Pickles — A Deli. One day while we were driving past, my sister announced that she wanted to go to PicklesADeli. I started laughing and explained that the «a deli» part was just the description as to what Pickles was. To this day I still refer to Pickles as «PicklesADeli.»
I pulled into the parking lot which was quickly filling up because it was lunchtime. When I got inside, I was surprised at how large the dining area was. There were several tables — most of them occupied — and on the wall were two large notice boards with the Pickles specialty sandwiches listed.
I had previously checked out their online menu, so I already knew what I wanted. I ordered a «Jaws,» which is their house made tuna salad in Syrian bread with melted Muenster cheese and tomato ($ 6.75). I also pulled a can of Coke out of a nearby cooler ($ 1). The cashier was extremely friendly and complimented the ring I was wearing. I noticed that the other members of staff seemed like they were in a great mood as well. Pickles must be a fun place to work! My total came to $ 8.37.
I sat at a nearby table and waited for my sandwich to be made. While I was hanging around, I noticed a few customers coming in that seemed to be regulars. They were greeted warmly and made small talk with the staff. I looked around and saw that all of the patrons seated had smiles on their faces as they were eating their lunches. The whole scene was really getting me excited for my meal.
When my sandwich was ready I noticed on the board that Pickles serves a side order of potato salad. I decided to get one before leaving which came to $ 2.71. With my bag in hand, I decided to set off for the beach.
I drove down the road and parked at Easton’s Beach in Newport. I turned off the car, turned up the radio and dug into my food. I went for the potato salad first and it was delicious. The potatoes were skin-​on Red Bliss and were cut into thick chunks and covered with a tasty dill sauce. It left my mouth with a pleasant flavor.
Next up was my «Jaws» sandwich. This was excellent as well! Although a bit difficult to eat in the car, the Syrian bread was soft while the cheese and the tuna were hot and fresh. I really liked the way they layered the tomatoes into the sandwich. They were very thinly sliced and slid right into the bread perfectly. All in all it was a fantastic lunch for a great price.
I will absolutely be going to Pickles again, hopefully sooner than later. Sandwiches are definitely my thing and I can’t wait to try one of their other recommended favorites. I also noticed a steaming bowl of broccoli and cheese soup going by, so next time I plan on staying inside and having another scrumptious deli lunch at Pickles.

Lisa makes a heck of a sand which. We ordered the thanksgiving turkey and it was the closest to a Dagwood sand which I had ever gotten. I actually ate one half for lunch and the other for dinner. It was incredibly fresh and loaded with awesomy goodness. My little cousin had the best veggie sand which she had ever eaten. We look forward to many more tasty lunches. You guys are the best. Lisa your a peach
