Types of food served: Deli, American
Status:Closed Ever heard of Mr. Pickle's Sandwich Shop? Me neither, at least until last Christmas when we drove over to Sacramento and saw them everywhere. But the Sacramento area has plenty of restaurants I've never heard of, so I really didn't give Mr. Pickle's a second thought. Looked like just another sandwich place. So we got home to Carson City, and within a week I heard about what new restaurant opening up in town? That's right, a Mr. Pickle's. The place we had never heard of. So of course we had to travel over there for lunch and check them out. 
And you know what? It's really pretty good. You'd never know it by looking at the inside of the place. You'd never even know it was a chain restaurant. The inside is so bland and the sign almost looks homemade, so if I hadn't seem them in Sacramento I would have thought it was just some local operation. The food is super good and super filling, though. My wife got a turkey sandwich, and she was only able to eat about a third of it. I had a #16 - "The Cousin", basically a chicken parmesan sandwich. I chowed down the whole thing, and now I'm thinking I might have to skip dinner. 
So Mr. Pickle's has been added to our list of good eats, if you're in the mood for a filling sandwich. If you want to go try it out yourself, it's located in the North Carson Crossing shopping center, right next to the new College Parkway Wal*Mart. The Carson City store also apparently has its own website at www.mrpicklescc.com, but it doesn't seem to be working now. And don't forget to get a "Giant Pickle" to go!

Well, I guess there weren't too many people in Carson willing to try something new... Mr Pickles closed in the fall on 2007.

The pickel's stiffed the landlord for the rent too! There was a sign on the closed place stating such, by the landlord. The prices were way too high for what you got. But hey, there's a new chinese place at the other end of the same bldg. Lunch specials for 4.95

FWIW, I talked to the owner/operator of the one in Sparks and they're going to re-open that store in the next few weeks. Looks like they have a lot of stuff to re-order and re-install.

Yes, there is a banner on the building that says Mr. Pickles will re-open under new ownership. I really liked their sandwiches, but towards their closing they were awful! Now I know why... was probably eating old expired deli meat :(
