I have been meaning to check out this sub shop, but was a bit hesitant due to the reviews; people either love this place or hate it. Well, I am so glad I decided to give this place a shot! I drove on into Lakewood and got a parking spot on the street right outside the shop, very convenient. (Also convenient that the Lakewood location is open until 8pm). I strolled on in and was greeted by a personable woman working the front. She was helpful with telling me what the subs were all about and which ones were popular. Since I had just received a coupon in the mail for a buy one get one half off, I decided to take advantage and try two different subs (yeah that's right, both for me!). I opted for the West-Sider and the Payne Ave Panini. The West-Sider is a pressed sandwich with smoked turkey, caramelized bacon, chihuahua cheese, relish, lettuce, and a roasted tomato garlic spread. I enjoyed the firmer crust from the sub being pressed, however, it smelled and tasted like they had used peanut oil with the press. The sub was tasty, I was just thrown off with the lingering peanut smell and taste. The Payne Ave Panini is kind of like a Bánh mì as it has Asian pork meatballs, relish, cilantro, carrot threads, adobo spread, and lime. This sub was not pressed so the bread was softer and with the moist meatballs and the other ingredients, you are looking at a soggier interior, but it tasted good so I had no problem with that. The subs run about $9, but with the coupon my total was $13.50. The subs are also pretty big so you could easily share, put yourself in a food coma, or be like me and have leftovers for the next three days. They also sell bags of chips with flavors like crab or dill, sides of pasta salad (I think, I don't remember), and bottles of root-beer. I do love the logo of a pickle climbing a building, and you get a little side of sliced pickles with every sub order, but here is where I don't give them 5 stars. For a place that is named Cleveland Pickle and makes their own pickles, you would expect them to be pretty great, (aka unique and full of flavor), nope. The pickles do have a nice crunch to them, but the flavor is definitely lacking and unremarkable. All in all, I will be back!

I had the classic. It is a hit sandwich and was very good. Fresh bread and good meat. My son had the Clevelander. He didn't care for the shredded lettuce which may have been damp causing the mayo to run out of the sandwich making it messy. The seating area can accommodate several seating arrangement options including sitting in a comfy corner booth in the light of the window. Fun soda selections as well. I had a ginger brew that was great.

Ehhhhhhh two stars because the service was really nice (albeit a bit slow) and the decor was cute/they're sticking to their brand which I appreciate. I'm fine with paying more for a good quality sandwich for a sandwich but not when it's on cheap bread that gets soggy in 15 min (from when they press it in the sandwich-making process?). I got a Kardiac Kid, go weird or go home, but wasn't impressed. It was simultaneously too much food because of the nutella/pb/banana combo and not enough because of the gross bread.

Decent deli sandwich option. I'll cop to not being a huge fan of sandwiches so I'd probably rather eat in a burger place, but I like to support local businesses and once in a while a sandwich is OK. On the plus side, it has good veggie sandwich options, tasty pickles, and the staff are friendly. On the minus side, I was a little disappointed in the quality of the bread, which seemed closer to something you'd get at the grocery store or a Subway than a nice big fresh roll. I am also not sure why a cold sandwich would be served to me half squashed flat - it's not like they had to put it through a panini press. Also if you're eating in, the big round tables with stools are kind of uncomfortable to sit at. There are only two booths which always seem to be the first place people sit. You'd think they'd take the hint and put in a bunch more booths. Finding a place to park to go in and eat and/ or pick up your order can be tough, but that's true of many Lakewood food joints so I did not take off for that. I would go again but am still wishing for better quality bread since the sandwiches are on the expensive side.

My favorite sub sandwich ever ...The Westsider. So very tasty. Nice place, good food, nice staff!
(5)Laura M.
I've never been much of a sandwich person but I will say that Cleveland Pickle has some pretty tasty options. With a bit of a small menu you cant go wrong with any of the choices but I would recommend one of their hot pressed sandwiches. My favorite cold sandwich is the blazin river, their spicy chicken salad. If you're looking for a decent sandwich in a friendly local establishment look no further. Their pickle and chips are top notch as well.
(4)Katie M.
I'm feeling like a schmuck for paying $9 for a sandwich/sub. I had the Westsider which was good, but not $9 good. It wasn't heated all the way through so the middle was cold and the sandwich was soggy and wet, which made the bread soggy. meh.
(2)Zach S.
Average sandwich shop. Nothing wrong with the food or service but there are much better places in lakewood.
(3)Annette F.
Have always wanted to try this place and so glad I did! A bit pricier than I expected, but the sandwiches are very large. All are very unique so if you're looking for a regular turkey sandwich you won't find it. Their garlic sauce is awesome!
(4)Justin Y.
For the first time visiting the Cleveland pickle I was not overly impressed. Called 15 minutes before they opened and was told to call back when they are open to order. ( why did you answer?) when I picked up my order I sat there for 15 minutes before I was told they have my order to someone else. Didn't even get a sorry. Sandwich was ok but for the price could have got jimmy johns which delivers. Atleast they had vegetarian options which was a plus. 2.5 stars
(3)Rachel B.
Very good sandwiches. Awkward and unfriendly service at the counter. I have wanted to go back, but have avoided it for that reason. There are tons of good sandwiches and pickles in the area, and a few places stand out as having very friendly people working there. This isn't one of them.
(3)Tim H.
First time to this newer Lakewood sandwich shop. Ordered takeout and the staff was very friendly. Straight forward menu. Sandwiches were satisfying. My only gripe would be the price point. My 2 sandwiches came to $20. A little high but not terrible. I'd recommend you give it a try. Support local business.
(4)Bethany B.
I had the "Clevelander" a 10" + hoagie, very light on the meat ( the deli cuts were so thin, almost shaved) each bite consisted of 3% meat, 5% veggies and 92% hoagie bun. The pickles were some kind of awesome combination of dill and sweet pickle all in one not too soggy and just a little crunch. I would go back again but ask for double meat
(3)Emily M.
My party and I came here about 45 minutes before closing, so I was a little worried we'd be snubbed. I know how much it sucks when you're trying to clean up and shut down and you've got customers hanging around. Luckily, they were really nice, and we never felt rushed. They have some decent vegetarian options, but it's not a huge menu, so I had to struggle a bit to find something I could make vegan. Definitely not blaming them for that, just hoping that maybe someday they'll consider some all vegan options. I got the Downtowner with some plusses and minuses, and they did warn me that the sandwich was based off of the dairy I was about to exclude, and I figured that. It was really tasty regardless! The guy on the grill was happy to know I liked it, and seemed very appreciative of our business. Negatives (few but probably should be mentioned): prices are a little steep, and my friend had the deviled eggs which he said were pretty bland without salt... which they don't have behind the counter.

This place is right around the corner from my house, so I just had to try it. Yesterday my boyfriend and I ordered the Classic to split. It cost $10, but was big enough for 2. The friendly girl at the counter gave us each a little dish of pickles, which were quite tasty. The sandwich itself was pretty good. Not the best I have ever had, but it was still yummy. Maybe I'll go back? Maybe not?
(3)Evol R.
5 out of 5 stars, anyone who gave this place a bad rating must be too picky or not like a good sandwich. I love pickles and this place did not dissapoint me. I got the original without the spicy pickles i subbed regular ones and took the shoreliner home. i havent been in lakewood in forever i stopped in here on a whim. OMMFG their sandwiches are friggen amazing. Staff was friendly and helpful, music was cool, tasty craft root beer and i paid the amount i woulda paid for like a loaded BMT at subway or any regular sandwich at paninis but got hand crafted delicious sandwiches that were leaps n bounds better. Juicy and so much taste and pressed on a hot grill and with a side of delicious pickles. I will be going here EVERY time i am near.
(5)Ellie G.
Having been to the location downtown- I was elated to have a location so close. I eat pickles at every meal, one of my favorite foods! But then I ordered the banh mi meatball sub- one of the most disappointing subs of my life. Sad for meatballs and very very sad for banh mi. I'm pretty sure it was mayo/sauce and then bread and then a meatball and then some veggies. I was so disgusted by the mayo ratio.. I'm not sure I can return. Reading other yelp reviews confirms it. Menu is yummy but actual product falls so short and then add the whopping price?? I just moved from DC where they charge the same for lunch!!! And even there they give you a better sandwich.
(2)Kolleen M.
A fun little sandwich shop with unique combinations. It's a good size sandwich for the price, but everything else has to be purchased separate. They don't have tap water, only bottled water, pop and iced teas. The staff was really friendly and offered some suggestions to us on the best sandwiches to get and the usuals.
(4)Jennifer F.
Good, but not what I expected. I ordered a Ranger for my mom and a West-sider for myself to go. The Ranger had horseradish slathered all over it instead of Dijon mustard. Or if that was the Dijon mustard, whooooheeee, hot. I scraped some off and the bite I tried was tasty. But the red wine reduction barely existed more than a little bit of a splash. My West-sider had creamy slaw on it instead of plain lettuce. I hate mayo, so part of why I ordered this sandwich was the lack of mayo in the description. The garlic spread wasn't very garlicky and the pickle in the middle was absent. On a positive note, the chicken paprikash soup and the little bowls of pickles on the side were delicious. It wasn't bad, but I would have enjoyed it more had my sandwiches matched the descriptions on the Lakewood online menu. I'd give this place one more chance before dismissing it. Staff was very nice. But for $25 for two sandwiches and a 16 oz soup, I want to be wowed.
(3)Carly R.
The tables are clean and have fresh flowers, the staff is friendly and happy to answer questions, and the selections I tried were big enough for two meals (and absolutely amazing). My favorite so far is the Payne Avenue Panini: pork meatballs with a spicy adobo sauce topped with crunchy carrot slaw and fresh cilantro hit with a little lime juice. A little sweet, a little spicy. All five of my experiences were positive, so I give it the highest rating possible and will continue to be a Cleveland Pickle fan. Additionally, I appreciate the Sprecher soda option and am willing to wait an extra 5 minutes for a better quality sandwich than the surrounding competitors since lunch is my main meal of the day. Totally worth a trip (and some more trips after that).
(5)Tim D.
I really, really, truly wanted to love this place. Living right down the street, and having read copious glowing reviews for the downtown location, I was beyond pumped when I saw that Cleveland Pickle would be coming to lakewood. First attempt was the classic pickle, which was completely average. They make the common mistake of putting lettuce and tomato on sandwiches, then pressing them, leaving you with hot lettuce and tomato, semi-melted cheese, and still-cold meats. The Terminal was my next attempt, and while it sounded exciting (apricot jam, Brie, mustard spread), it was also pretty blah, and skimpy on the very average quality deli meat ham. They also forgot the side of pickles. Still not giving up, I tried the blazin river chicken salad sandwich. Turned out to be about three tablespoons of chicken salad on a bun, and none of the advertised "spicy". My last, and probably final attempt was the Bahn Mi. A soupy, goopy mess. A Bahn mi should be light and fresh, with some crunch to it. This had the most finely shredded carrots I've ever seen, and they turned to mush in the gobs of mayonnaisy sauce the thing was slathered in. Also forgot the pickles again. I'll stick to TJ's Butcher block from now on.

Have not been to Lakewood location, but assuming it's anything like the original spot on Euclid/E.9th, Cleveland pickle is one of the better sandwich places in the city. Menu and service are excellent. Been there a handful of times and the food has been phenomenal every time. Highly recommend checking out if you've never been. Local gem
(5)Amanda K.
I was visiting a friend in Lakewood and we came here for lunch recently. I got the Blazin' River, an order of the deviled eggs and a bag of habanero potato chips. Everything was tasty but I especially loved the deviled eggs which they make with their pickle relish. The habanero chips were also good and I wish I could get them where I live.
(5)Brooke G.
Good neighborhood sandwich shop. If you love carmelized anything this is the place. Prices a little steep. Ingredients fresh. Excellent garlic sauce
(4)Bonnie B.
My first Cleveland Pickle experience @ the Lakewood location was a success and, they deliver! The "Terminal" is a must try. The combination of brie, apricot jam and mustard spread, outstanding. Another perk, they don't charge you a delivery fee - this may change since they just started delivering, but for now, a great perk! The only reason I didn't give them all 5 Stars was because of the bread. While I can tell it is homemade and LOVE that it is, the dough needs more salt for sure.
(4)Timothy M.
My first experience was at the downtown location so I was happy to visit the Lakewood locale. I'd recommend this place. Is it a couple dollars more? Yes. But you pay for quality and I'd rather support local family run places than a chain. The owners were nice and the place is clean and they had a variety of interesting sandwiches
(4)Alex B.
Some things in life I want fast: cars, women and subs. This place offers none of these things. A 2pm lunch pickup on a Tuesday with no line should not take 20 minutes.
(2)Julie H.
Yum!!! Great vegetarian options here. I got the Downtowner and it was delish and very filling!
(4)Joe R.
Best sandwich in town hands down. The owners are awesome and make incredibly fresh food. This new location is such a good fit in Lakewood. Much larger than their downtown shop. I encourage you to try everything before you pick your favorite.
(5)Adrienne W.
I've only gone here a few times. The wait can be a bit long for a sammy so you should call ahead and go pick it up. The price is a but high for what it is but everything is fresh and they have in house pickles. Yum!
(4)D. K.
My wife and I enjoy going to local Lakewood restaurants since we like to walk in our neighborhood, try new restaurants and support small local businesses. We just went to Cleveland Pickle for the first time tonight and it is a keeper! The sandwiches were excellent and so was the service. We are glad Cleveland Pickle has come to Lakewood and we think you will be too.
(5)Sara M.
This place is by me. I've really been wanting to go there - i heard good things. I got a salad. (I dont know why....I guess I was in the mood for a salad.) It was not full of stuff, as I had hoped. It really wasn't all that big. Also, the guy at the counter (very nice) asked me what dressing I wanted then didnt give me a dressing! I got it to go (I think it's all "to go" there) and I had to search my fridge for a decent dressing. He had me thinking I was crazy! So, not really a good experience. I'll try it again and get a sandwich next time.

CLEVELAND PICKLE, YOU'RE THE BEST. And fear not, fellow pickle-haters: You need not love this shop's signature food to love this shop's food. Anything made with pickles can be made without pickles, & some of the ingredients that include "pickle" in the name are not, in fact, pickles, but rather cleverly disguised names for certain sauces, relishes, etc. The staff is friendly & happy to help you work through the menu to figure out what you'll like best, even providing a menu that has its top three bestsellers highlighted. I'm a big fan of the Payne Avenue Panini - though I'd call it a "hot sub" before I'd call it a panini - which features Asian-inspired flavors: pork meatballs, radish relish, cilantro, carrots, adobo sauce, lime.... HEAVEN. Also, it's enormous - as I gather all their sandwiches are - so it'll either keep you full or feed you for two meals. Their sandwiches are pretty messy, so frankly, they're better eaten in than taken to go, but whatever you decide, you're probably going to leave happy.
(5)Annie D.
Yum yum yummy! They have some delicious and very filling sandwiches! I had the westsider and it was very satisfying. The carmelized bacon was spot on! And the sauce was so tasty. They are a bit pricey ($20 for 2 sandwiches) but otherwise a great lunch spot. They give you some pickles after you order and I have to say they were pretty tasteless and not great. You would think for having pickle in the title they would have the best pickles on earth. Not the case here. They tasted more like a flavorless cucumber. :( The sandwiches are very big though and enough to split for 2. I saved my other half for dinner and I'm glad I did. They also have some good vegetarian options here if you don't eat meat. Overall, great sandwiches with a lot of delicious and fresh ingredients!
(4)Cara L.
I just adore this place. I am so happy that they opened the second location in Lakewood (near where I live and work) because it is very rare that I am downtown and when I am it is for a planned dinner or event. I've never had a sandwich I didn't like. My favorites by far are the East Sider and West Sider. *Note: If you want a sandwich pressed that isn't you can ask and they will press it for you.
(4)Jen M.
It really pains me to pen this review as I am a huge proponent of Local businesses. I did not find anything special about the sandwich I got at CP. I opted for the Clevelander priced at $10. The sandwich itself was huge so score on value for that alone. The quality of the ingredients was sorely disappointing. The bread was a standard sub bun. Shredded lettuce. Heavily slathered with garlic mayo. And cold cut meats. I saw the guy use a stacked pre-pack of meat wrapped in paper and slap it on the bun. Really? That quality of meat for that price? No different options for bread? I was expecting anything but a step-above Subway. Where are the higher quality meats like rotisserie style or in-house cured or roasted meats? Brioche buns or rosemary foccacia or some flavored bread? Catch my drift? Know who does nail this concept? La Bodega in Tremont. But for $10 I thought the sandwiches at Cleveland Pickle would be more creative and higher quality. No pun intended but for the price I thought this place would find a way to sandwich itself between a chain sub place and Bogtrotter's Doorstep but no such luck :(
(3)Corey M.
Tried the Burning River Chickan salad sandwich. It was awesome! Just the right amount of heat, very flavorfull. I would recommend this place. I can't wait to try some more sandwiches!
(5)Milos M.
I've went here two times and I may give it another try if possibly I believe it deserves it. I've got the tuna salad there, it was okay, nothing special, but nothing terrible, and then the 2nd time I got the west-sider nothing special really. It's basically a poor man's Jimmy John's without the Wheat/Lettuce wrap options. What sandwich shop doesn't have a wheat option for their customers? I don't get it, it's 2014.
(2)Aries L.
Of the food only... Not even thinking about customer service but strictly the food. I ordered the West Sider and it was AH-MAY-ZING! The sandwich was nice, hot and delicious. I loved the garlic spread and the coleslaw on the sandwich, very flavorful. Didn't really expect the sandwich to be this good, honestly it was like an explosion when I took the first bite. Definitely not your other sub sandwiches places. I did find it a little pricey but it is really worth it. I wanted to try the homemade rice krispy treats but they were all out. Have to go back and try other things on the menu...have my eye on the Terminal lol. **Maybe the Downtown location is more friendlier than the Lakewood location...but you didn't hear that from me** This is only about the food :)
(4)Andrew S.
The wait is never long, each sandwich is delicious, and all for the right price. I'm not a huge pickle fan, but these are some quality pickles. I recommend the West-Sider. The giant pickle dude is actually pretty terrifying, and his eyes follow you through the store. His gloved hands and pristine white shoes only conceal his motives. The scale and size are depicted in different manners and I am unsure of his true form. Both the sandwich and the anthropomorphic pickle haunt me. One is tasty, the other will forever lurk in the dark shadows of my mind.
(4)Megan M.
My stomach is still reeling from a Westsider I got this afternoon. I had one there about 6 weeks ago and it was delicious. The bread was nicely grilled and the taste had me thinking about it and craving it. I finally made it back to Lakewood to get another one and was totally disappointed. The bread wasn't toasted and the entire thing was soggy and goopy. Not to mention the indigestion. Ugh! Won't be craving that again.
(2)Fred P.
Asked for a sandwich for my 3 year old who was next to me. Asked specifically for salami and yellow mustard. They gave a 3 year old spicy mustard. Very disappointed. Whether the counter or the kitchen there is no excuse.
