Lydia P. - 5 out of 5 stars January 9, 2026

Perfectly cooked, spiced, and juicy. The waitress said... "I've been here a while, that has to be one of the biggest I've ever seen." A lot of places end up giving you a dry, thin, or greasy sandwich when they get this big. This was 3/4" thick and the pickles were great. Hit the table super fast. Highly recommended!

Hand-pounded, fantastic breading, and buttery toasted bun. Fried pickles are awesome as well. Enough for 3 meals!

I think these get bigger each time we go there! Huge and thick!
