Jacob's Pickles

I am actually not much of a pickles fan but T loves pickles and Jacob's Pickles was listed as one of yummiest restaurants in the UWS so I decided to come here with T during his NYC visit. It was only 1 subway stop away from me so it was a perfect pre-class lunch spot. Apart from its pickles, Jacob's Pickles is also famous for its biscuits. The servings are GINORMOUS so make sure you come hungry or be ready to pack some leftovers to go. The atmosphere was very cute and service was friendly and warm.

Deviled Eggs
The deviled eggs were well seasoned but the serving was just too big for two people. One half of the egg was enough for me. 

Chicken, Bacon, and Egg on a Biscuit with a side of Cheese Grits
The grits were very creamy and lush. I used to not like grits but I think it was just because I had a very horrible version of them. Now I know that they can be so delicious! The picture may be misleading but this biscuit was the side of my face and 1/4 of this would probably be enough to have me stuffed. The chicken was thick and juicy and the outside was crispy and not too heavily breaded. The biscuit was moist on the inside and delectably crumbly on the outside. 

Mushroom Gravy
Since I am greedy I also ordered the mushroom gravy. It was nice and creamy but I did not think it was mindblowing. It was a bit like Campbells cream of mushroom soup...? I have not have had a ton of gravy in my life so maybe that's how its suppose to taste like but I was not particularly amazed by this. 

Chicken and Pickles on a Biscuit 
The chicken was the same delicious type that I had and T said that the pickles were very good! 

Yolkporn oh yes

Jacob's Pickles is a great spot for lunch and I would definitely be happy to return. I don't think I can eat this too often as it is quite heavy but it was a very enjoyable experience.
