History

Established in 1989.

Chapter 1-​Est 1989

«Pickles» met «Plus» at a high school baseball game and their friendship «marinated».

They decided to put their friendship to a test and open a Deli-​restaurant that would serve the very best.

Chapter 2-​Est 1998

Mr. & Mrs. Pickles had two children, a Sweet Little Gherkin and a Half-​Sour Gherkin. It was because of the Sweet Little Gherkin that they met Plus at a high school baseball game. Anyway, after both gherkins graduated from UF (Go Gators), the Sweet Gherkin, (who is sometimes not so sweet), convinced the Half-​Sour Gherkin (who’s really half-​sweet), to «can» the building business and «jump into the brine». Basically, they blended well. Things got a little «bumpy» from time to time but overall, they decided that when you’re in a «Pickle» it’s never smooth. Realizing that lots of «Picky People Pick Pickles Plus», they didn’t «dilly deli» around instead they decided to open Pickles Plus Too so that even more people could get a taste of the very best!

I love this place! The service is great, people are nice and their food is wonderful! Jenny usually helps and is always helpful and such a sweetheart! My personal favorite is the pickles choice sandwich but the breakfast is also very good! I highly recommend Pickles Plus!

Once again, I’m in the minority, but then I am an experienced tough grader. Extremely ordinary breakfast very similar to a Smart Ones special!
Atmosphere 75 Storefront — like a million others
Service 70 No cutlery and soup spoons for our coffee.
Food 70 One, very unappetizing egg white.
Value 70 Unreasonable for the quality and quantity of the meal
Once in a lifetime is enough. Just too many other eateries that serve superior breakfasts.
Lunch and supper may be a different story.

It is great to have a local deli with fantastic NY style pastrami sandwiches. The servers are friendly. Darla, Fran and Jamie all take great care of their customers. It’s a family business and they treat you like family.
My favorite items to order are the chicken salad fruit salad plate and pickles favorite. You have got to try the onion rings! Hands-​down they’re the best in the area.

Darla was our awesome waitress, plus everybody else was friendly and helpful.
Both of our sandwiches were the best Kosher type sandwiches we’ve had in Central Florida — from Clearwater to Daytona Beach. The potato salad was the best in Florida. My Corn Beef and Pastrami Pickles sandwich was incredible, plus very moist with almost zero fat — and it was very tall. My wife’s Corned Beef Reuben was great too.
So go there and enjoy a fun and tasty meal.

BESR absolutely THE best deli style place in ALL Tampa Bay!!! do yourself a flavor and drive to Clearwater just off McMullian Booth and Enterprise Rd. They are possibly THE best home style little café/​deli I have found anyplace much less Florida where its hard to find good food?
I like the Patrami/​Cornbeef melt done as a «Rachel» where they splather a huge amount of their homeade Coleslaw on it along with their homeade Russian dressing and melt it on their grill. its a piece of heaven for sure!

I have dined in four times now and every time it’s been consistently delicious. If you’re from the Northeast it’s always a challenge to find a great deli sandwich.
Pickles plus has the real thing, their corned beef and or pastrami sandwiches are lean, carved thin and piled high on freshly baked breads, pumpernickel, or rye. Great, spicy deli mustard. Everything’s home made. I love their home made potato salad, unlike other area deli’s whose condiments come in pre made manufactured tubs.
Fridays I make a special trip for their homemade New England clam chowder. Nice and creamy with lots of clams.
Pickles plus has one of the best Greek salads I’ve tasted, it’s huge. Very courteous servers who go the extra mile to ensure you’re satisfied. I understand they have an excellent breakfast and that’s what I’ll try on this Sunday morning.
Located in Northwood plaza at McMullen-​Booth and Enterprise Rd.

i had a totally disappointing experience here on July 4th. Had breakfast and the food and the service were simply terrible. I paid an «up charge» for sour dough toast. It was actually sour dough bread that had been buttered and waved over a heat source. There was no evidence of toasting. The grits were THE WORST that I have had in this area. The service was as bad as the food. Do not think our server gave a crap. My coffee cup sat empty for 5 – 10 minutes. We finally flagged down a server other than ours to refill my cup. Furthermore, I thought I would have to trip someone to get a check. I have had a few satisfying lunches here, but will probably not return again as a result of this experience. If the owner or a manager was on duty, they need to be more involved in the business.

We’ve been coming here for years. The food has always been great until today. I don’t know if it’s because it’s Mothers Day but I had a turkey and ham combo sandwich and it was disappointing. I honestly think they are using cheaper meat, salty and not fresh. Beware

The only reason I ordered food from here is because someone told me that they delivered. I can honestly say that I was completely dissatisfied with everything I ordered from here. I don’t care how much food costs as long as I enjoy it. $ 10 for a Philly cheesesteak sandwich might sound expensive to some people but as long as it tastes good I really don’t care; however, their cheesesteak was completely gross. I was so annoyed that I even ordered anything from here. There is a place in Dunedin that makes the best cheesesteak for $ 7 and I wouldn’t mind if they charged me $ 15 for it because it’s the best. I cannot even understand how this place has the nerves to even serve a cheesesteak. The French fries tasted as if they double fried them. They just tasted completely stale! I mean who in the world can mess up making French fries? Apparently pickles plus can! I also ordered their chicken Caesar salad. WOW is all I should really say. Not only did my salad come out to $ 9 because of the chicken but they should not even charge $ 2 for this inedible salad. The chicken did not taste like real chicken what so ever. The texture of it was comparable to that of the deli chicken where people slice them like ham. The taste of it tasted almost like turkey breast which left the worst taste in my mouth. I’m sorry but a real chicken salad should be made with real chicken breast not deli chicken or that fake chicken! I would never waste another dollar at this establishment again! They are just completely overpriced for the quality of food that they make. Would I ever order from here again? NEVER! Would I recommend this place to others? If I did, I would just be an embarrassing individual!

definitely good spot for a simple sandwich. pretty typical sandwich selection, nothing major, but if you hungry for a something between a couple of slices of fresh bread, stop by.

The service is as useful as the calories in the food. First, I asked if I needed to wait for a seat. I was told yes. So I stood at the front with my five year old for a long time watching two of the crack servers rush around while practically ignoring us.
If it wasn’t for them asking me to move I am certain I could have stood there all afternoon unnoticed waiting to sit at one of the three or four open and clean tables.
After a while I asked again about the seating situation (really just wanting to get someone’s attention and get seated at one of the many open tables) and I was told to seat myself. Finally seated, I waited for ten minutes before having to ask one of the servers for something to drink. She seemed both confused and dumbfounded that I would ask her for anything. She only brought two of my three drinks. Stupidly she told her coworker (in earshot of me) that she wasn’t going to get my third drink. All three of them then started acting like disapproving and unappreciated caretakers with a mixture of dirty looks and generally unfriendliness.
Way to go!
I’m sorry I was not aware of the unspoken rule against that at Pickles Plus. Honestly the service here is a mess and is a disservice to the food: However mediocre it may be it is still leaps and bounds above the service.
It astounds me to watch people in the service industry act in the ways described above. Surely this is reflective of the ownership and management culture of Pickles Plus. Get it together and work out the environmental issues in your workplace or fire your curmudgeonly servers.

Love everything about this deli. We take the kids for breakfast on Sundays and I always order them for lunch. Huge sandwiches with fresh bread every day! Love the servers, feels like I’m at home!

This is a great deli style restaurant. We have only done their carry out many times and I have to say, it was pretty good. The food was fresh, crisp and delicious. They have a huge selection of menu options. The chicken salad sandwich was yummy, as was the potato salad. The prices were slightly high, but I guess average for the area and for the style of restaurant. This place was packed and sandwiches were flying out of the kitchen quickly. The staff didn’t mess around with ticket times either. I will definitely return to this location!

First of all, this reminds me of a rock solid deli up north I used to frequent decades ago in the Shirlington neighborhood of Arlington, VA!
The staff was very friendly from server to cashier to cooks! The room was quite clean. The menu was in stream with deli faves!
Came here twice while my sis was in town and she was reminded of the deli I spoke of in reference. The breakfast fare was spot on. Considering my sis is a picky eater, she loved the food and the way it was prepared.
There are always daily specials, plates, & soups. As for portions, our country has taken the gluttonous approach and markets more over quality. Pickles serves reasonable tasty portions.
Pickles Plus is definitely on my breakfast list for options! In fact, I’m getting dressed and going there in a few minutes after being inspired as I wrote this update! :-D

I am so happy that this place exists. It is worth the drive from Tampa.
I had been craving matzo ball soup, pickles and a hot pastrami sandwich. I found what I was looking for at Pickles Plus.
How happy was I that the daily special was for matzo ball soup with half a pastrami sandwich? The matzo ball soup was perfect, with a rich broth, fluffy matzo balls, and tender chicken. It reminds me of the soup at my favorite diner in Los Angeles.
I wish they gave me a bowl of pickles, but the one they gave was a good size and perfectly crispy and dilly and sour.
The pastrami sandwich was very good. The pastrami melted in my mouth. I wish the bread was a little thinner and less fluffy, but it’s hard getting good rye in central Florida, I think.
The décor is basic, but the waitresses are friendly.

Every now and then, one wanders into a place that is more enjoyable than you might have expected from its exterior appearance. Pickles plus is such a place.
We went to this simple deli not expecting more than a quick dinner, but everything that we had was delicious and the portions were large.
My wife had a corned beef sandwich, my son pastrami. Both were large and delicious. High quality cold cuts. I am on a restricted diet, so they made me a special chef salad with a large pile of corned beef on a large bowl of salad. It was the best that I have had in the area. The Cole slaw was great, not overly mayonnaise laden, almost more like a health salad.
The waitress was friendly and efficient.
There is outdoor seating if the weather permits. Not all of the baked goods are made on premises, but who cares.
I will be back for sure.

Great deli diner, they have a 20% discount for first time Unilocalers!
The salad combo of Tuna, chicken and egg salad over lettuce and tomatoes was very tasty and bountiful. The New England clam chowder was creamy and piping hot.
The place has a very neighborhood feel and I hear it’s been there a long time. Good. Prices and quality food.

Based on my most recent visit here, I have no choice but to knock my review down 2 stars. This time I went for Sunday breakfast with my mom. It was way too hot to sit outside so I grabbed a table toward the back and started to browse the menu. In the mean time, the server abruptly came by to get my drink order. I’ve had her as my server here more than once and have never gotten the «warm and fuzzy» feeling from her. As I was browsing the breakfast options on the menu, I wasn’t impressed. Pretty limited for a deli type restaurant! After waiting a few more moments, my mom arrived to join me and we put in our order with «Ms. Friendly Server». That’s when the gnat that had been flying all around our table really got annoying and we couldn’t take it anymore. I looked behind me (near the open kitchen area) and realized there was about 10 gnats flying around right near me and the kitchen. Nastiness. We asked to move tables to get away from them even though the food had just arrived at our table. We moved a few tables away only to discover the A/​C vent right above our table was leaking and dripping on the flimsy, plastic chair. Lovely. I scooted over a bit to avoid the dripping water and decided I’d rather deal with that than gnats for the time being.
Despite the less than pleasant experience, we continued to eat anyway as we didn’t feel like leaving mid-​meal. The food was mediocre, it had a greasy taste and was nothing special overall.
This experience was so sub-​par… Between the food, service and dirty atmosphere, I won’t be rushing back anytime soon. Many better places to choose from in the area who actually know how to present customers with a pleasant server, a clean environment and tasty, fresh food.

A nice deli to stop into for lunch. I like the sandwiches and sides. The service is good and the location is very convenient.
