Pickles New York Deli & More has been a staple in Longwood for as long as I can remember. It’s not just a deli; it’s a cornerstone of the community, serving up authentic New York flavors with a local twist. Whether you’re stopping by for a quick lunch or looking for a spot to unwind with friends, Pickles delivers every time.
A Brisket Melt to Remember
One of the standout items on the menu is the Brisket Melt. This sandwich features tender, slow-cooked beef brisket layered with provolone cheese, sweet caramelized onions, and a zesty horseradish mayo. Served open-faced on a freshly baked New York bagel, it’s accompanied by a side of savory gravy for dipping. Each bite offers a perfect balance of rich flavors and textures, making it a must-try for first-timers and regulars alike.
The New York Pickle Bar
True to its name, Pickles boasts the New York Pickle Bar, an interactive and flavorful addition to any meal. The pickle bar features classic half-sour and full-sour pickles, each made with care to deliver the crisp, tangy crunch that perfectly complements the deli’s hearty sandwiches. It’s a unique feature that adds to the charm and authenticity of the experience.
Unforgettable Sides and Drinks
Don’t overlook the Gorgonzola Kettle Chips—a side dish that steals the show. These freshly fried chips are drizzled with a tangy balsamic reduction and topped with crumbled Gorgonzola cheese. When they’re steaming hot and just slightly softened from the balsamic glaze, they create a delightful mix of crunch and melt-in-your-mouth flavor. Pair them with the Pickles Big Apple Golden Ale, brewed specifically for Pickles by Sanford Brewing Company, a tart, refreshing beer that cuts through the richness of the chips and brisket perfectly.
A Community Favorite
Part of what makes Pickles special is its history. This deli has been a beloved lunch spot for as long as I can remember, with its inviting atmosphere and consistent quality earning it a loyal following. The outdoor seating area, with communal picnic tables, adds to the charm, while live music on weekends makes it a lively and enjoyable place to gather.

Pickles New York Deli & More isn’t just another deli; it’s a Longwood institution.
