One weekend and on a whim, hubby and I decided to embark on an adventure to the Toasted Pickle, a culinary gem we had yet to explore.

My impression is that the interior exudes a casual and vibrant atmosphere, perfectly tailored for the younger crowd. While that demographic may not exactly include us, it’s reassuring to see that there are others in our age group—parents and grandparents—who enjoy dining here as well.

Hubby decided to indulge in the legendary "Billy From Philly." This delightful creation features a classic Philadelphia cheesesteak, crafted with our house's slow-roasted beef, perfectly grilled bell peppers, and onions, all topped with provolone cheese and our signature horseradish sauce, all nestled in a toasted hoagie. It's a mouthwatering masterpiece that transports you straight to the streets of Philly with every bite!

I decided to indulge in the Nashville Hottie—a tantalizing creation that promises to set your taste buds ablaze! Picture this: crispy chicken, perfectly paired with sweet and spicy pickles, all nestled atop a bed of house-made coleslaw. To elevate this flavor fiesta, it’s drizzled with our signature Toasted Pickle Hottie sauce and a zesty serrano crema, all encased in a buttery brioche bun. It’s not just a sandwich; it’s a delicious adventure waiting to happen!

On the side, we served a delightful Broccoli Salad that’s anything but ordinary. Picture this: crisp broccoli mingling with juicy, fresh grapes, all topped off with crunchy sunflower seeds and savory hickory bacon. And let’s not forget the pièce de résistance—a scratch-made creamy cider vinegar dressing that ties it all together. It’s a salad that’s as fun to eat as it is to say!

We had already placed our orders when we spotted that tantalizing sandwich featured on the Food Network menu. Alas, it was too late to change our minds! Talk about a culinary plot twist! This isn't just any grilled cheese; it's a culinary masterpiece featuring creamy goat cheese, sharp cheddar, ripe avocado, and a sweet house-made pesto crafted from walnuts, all nestled between two slices of perfectly toasted sourdough. And to elevate this experience, it’s served with a shot of our delectable house-made tomato soup.


The Toasted Pickle is located at 17 Squires St. Square NE, Rockford, MI.
