Pickles and Pies Food Market & Deli

this place is such a rip off they nickel and dime you for literally EVERYTHING the menus say one price then when you go to pay they say its even more money im surprised there still in business bc their food is mediocre at best. the extra star is for the friendly staff

I love love love Pickles n’ Pies.
It’s a drunk man’s paradise lol.
It’s on the 116^th strip in RB, littered with many other local businesses. This is my late night greasy food deli joint when I’m slightly inhibriated since it is a walking distance from my residence.
I’ve been here early morning to try a breakfast sandwich (eggs, cheese and bacon on a bagel) and it was pretty damn good! (I was even sober).
Yea, this place can attract some characters since its in front of the bus stop and near the train stations. So you will find those from all walks of life, like bums, drunks, tourist and the local fare. But it’s a 24 hour deli? What can you expect?
I usually get the reuben hero with the Russian dressing on it. It’s so greasy yummy and full of meat. I’ve also gotten the Philly which I thought was alright but that Reuben is always my go to. My friend usually gets the Tuna Sandwich and I’ve tried it, but I’m a fan of hot subs then cold.
Service is bleh. I mean honestly, I rather call ahead of time to save time and not have to wait around since this place can get pretty busy. The guys working there are either pretty chill and laid back or straight up creepers looking like they just got out of the pen.
Overall? Go here. Get a sammich and walk your drunk ass to the beach… or home. Just don’t drive because thats illegal and you’ll have to pay metered parking.

Love Pickles and Pies. It’s not high quality food, but the give you a lot for the price. For some reason, even though they’re really nothing special, their cheese fries are my favorite fries in the world. They’re very generous with their sandwiches — they fill them up big time. They’re also open 24/​7, which is awesome, especially if you need a food fix in the middle of the night. You can also get groceries (e.g., milk, coffee, fruit, veggies, etc.) here, which is a plus. I’ve spent many a late night here waiting for some good NY bodega food.

My wife and I have always enjoyed Rockaway Beach (and continue to do so for almost 25 yrs
now) and any visit just won’t be complete without purchasing our meal for the Beach day from
Pickles and Pies. Even if we don’t use the Beach 116^th St entrance, we’ll buy and go to a different section. They are that good!
First there are the Salad choices. My favorite is the Anti Pasta !!!
Second are the Sandwiches. They are loaded. I esp. like the Virginia Beach and the Bully.
Both don’t require Mayo and they are both Hot sandwiches. So they won’t spoil in the Hot
Sun !!
Plenty of Beverages to choose from. Snacks galore. And they are super fast with your order.
Go and you won’t eat anywhere else at the Beach !!!
ENJOY

went to buy a few groceries here thinking I was saving time. I used my debit card. Like another comment I was double charged.

Some of the reviews are funny. Anyway, this is a deli close to the beach. I agree it’s a bit expensive considering the cleanliness factor and décor but they have the best egg sandwiches and chicken fingers around. They use rolls that are different that what delis usually use for eggs and they’re delicious.

this is a perfect deli, disregard all the negative reviews below! people need to stop trying to be cheap. i never mind spending here, everything is well worth it. your paying for quality people! you give respect, you get respect! that simple! i love you joe! lots of love from poppa willie and me;] for the ones that had nothing good to say, put the money where your mouth is!

Foods always great, beers always cold this place is always open and the guys always say hi to me when I walk in…
If you Don’t wanna wait for your food text in your order amenable up in 15 minutes. I love this place so much
Bad reviews must have been left by a few drunken idiots or sunburned tools who don’t know how to act in public

The tuna sandwich I always order from them are very good, but they are over priced and thieves as well, they will try to rip you off by hiking up the price and try to short change you :(

Overpriced and chaotic, messed up my order and had the nerve of being smart ass when I questioned the price.

Divey looking bodega about a minute and a half walk from the Rockaway Park subway station.
Came here in search of lunch after a day spent riding antique subway cars. My friend’s boyfriend is a train operator for the MTA and had been working a Rockaway Park shuttle job, so he directed us here when we asked what was good around the station.
Pretty standard deli fare. Didn’t wander the aisles, we were on a schedule, so we beelined for the sandwich counter. I got the Bully on a hard roll, which was a hot roast beef sandwich with swiss on toasted garlic bread. Holy shit, that thing was DELICIOUS.
There’s a $ 10 minimum on cards.

I’m writing this review because of how shocked I was ! Went here with a craving for a Blt ! Ordered my Blt on a roll … Waited 8 minutes must say the salads and wings looked so delicious but I wasn’t going to try them today ! Got my sandwich grab a 80z of apple juice pulled out a $ 50.00 Guy gave me my change 52.23 wtf did I buy when the guy wrote in marker $ 5 bucks and the sandwich … So you telling me orange juice cost 3 bucks complete ripe off !! Despite the cost the sandwich was good only reason they have 2 star but make sure you check the prices

These people are a bunch of crooks. I used my debit card here and the guy behind the counter didn’t give it back. When I realized what had happened, there were 4 unauthorized charges on my account. a $ 20 meal turned into a charges that totaled over $ 100. Fuck this place.

Pickles and Pies Food market & Deli is your not so average deli located right off Rockaway beach.
Expect to find long lines to order anything from a sandwich to a burger and fries, especially on a nice sunny day out. Just note if you order a sandwich practically everything is extra besides the deli meat. They also have coolers, ice, fresh fruit, and anything else you would expect to find at your local deli.
Customer service is not superb, but it is decent for a 24 hour place.

I mean, four a.m. totally loaded from the Rockaway saloons you just can not beat the sandwiches and snacks. The guys behind the counter are terrifying but that’s probably because I’m uncomfortably drunk when I get a Pickles and Pies run going.

I don’t understand the bad reviews. The food here is great and the portions are the biggest in the area. The customer service is also great, I’ve been going there for years and they always remember my name and my favorite foods, even after being away for over 3 years.
The store itself is a bit run down, but overall it’s a good place.

Very convenient corner deli with everything you’d need for a drunk night or a quick tasteful bite to eat.
I live right around the corner and when i have parties or drinking with friends and need to restock on some beer or whatever this is my go to place. After getting out of a bar at 4am this place is right here to entertain all the bars guests with a quick bite and last bit of gathering. ²⁴⁄₇ is the best feature of this friendly deli.

Can any combination of food be less appetizing than PICKLES & PIES. You have wonder what were they thinking?
Go to
to see a picture of Pickles and Pies exterior. It’s worth a look.

Seriously everyone, it’s a deli on 116^th… don’t expect pizazz.
The fact that it’s open ²⁴⁄₇ and on the corner closest to the q22 is pretty sweet.

Since this deli is right off the bus stop and the block right off the beach, expect a crowd. Personally, I feel like I’m at a deli right across a school full of loud, screaming kids who block the doorway and stand outside the deli, which is the majority.
The customer service is a-​ok. I think the guy who made my sandwich is a telepath. He said everything I wanted in my sandwich right before I even opened my mouth. There’s a charge for every additional item in your sandwich, but it still comes out less than $ 5. The sandwich is decent, not the best I’ve had, but still good enough.
