My husband, my daughter, and I stopped at Pickles & Swiss on State Street in Santa Barbara. They had such a nice variety of sandwiches in the menu, and they were reasonably priced. My daughter had the favorite Pickes and Swiss with double ham and house picked veggies. It was unique and delicious. I had the pesto chicken panini, which is my standard choice, and it was yummy. And my husband had the Chipotle Turkey Club, which looked large and delicious, but I didn't get a taste before he devoured it, so it must've been good. The owner was in the shop and very helpful and friendly. They had nice patio dining just off State Street, so it was a pleasant environment. I wish they'd open a sandwich shop in Ventura. It's really really yummy.

The food is worth the search! It’s tricky to find off the main state street, but the sandwiches are unique and fresh. The pickles and Swiss was perfection- loved the pickled veggies! The crispy chicken West was also very tasty with a great roll. The avoeggsalad was disappointing. Hardly any avocado and the egg salad had no flavor- needed seasoning. That’s the reason for the 4 instead of 5 stars. Still a great sandwich place! 👍🏻

Delicious tomato basil soup and sandwich. The sandwich was turkey, provolone, bacon and avocado on gf bread. I also enjoyed some gf barbecue chips . They went out of their way to prepare my food safely.

Small fast food restaurant: expensive, not plentiful and poor quality products. The total ! Cesar salad... it's just a green salad. If you want chicken, it’s optional. Cheese sandwiches...we're always looking for cheese! Flee quickly! It’s disgusting!

Super good sandwiches! Very small establishment, but large variety. The Pickles and Swiss sandwich was by far the best! The crispy chicken was also good. The egg salad was ok but lacking flavor and salt. Would definitely go back tho!! Bread was very good

Delicious hot sandwiches. For originalists, you can have the extra ingredients taken out of any of the sandwiches. For pioneers, enjoy those extra flavors and textures. PS: Make sure to not burn your tongue while at it.

My whole family can never agree on what they like, but this was unanimous! There is something to please everyone and the food is delicious. Inventive combinations, scrumptious classics, and wide variety, all made on the spot with high quality ingredients. Everyone devoured their lunch without complaint - even my picky eater!

We were delighted to discover this little sandwich shop -- with among the best tomato bisque soups we've ever enjoyed -- while strolling down a pedestrian street in the middle of Santa Barbara. The soup paired nicely with the hot cheese sandwich. Definitely recommend Pickles and Swiss for anyone seeking a quick bite at a good price for down-home-good sandwich and soup offerings.

After having had an usually high level of activity for the day ( 6 mile walk) , hubby and I got back to our hotel achy, hungry, and mildly grouchy. Hubby offered to go get sandwiches while I relaxed a bit. This was the closest to the hotel so I said just surprise me because I couldn’t think or make a decision anymore. He picked their signature sandwich for me and he got the Norm’s cold cuts. I must have dozed off because it was while before he got back. The sandwich was really good, bread was crispy and crunchy. I liked my pickles and Swiss better than the hubbies sandwich . There some other very interesting looking sandwiches on the menu that I would like to try next time.

Recommended by the folks at Grassini Winery tasting room. Just a block away from the wine tasting room. My wife and I split the Pickles & Swiss sandwich, which was plenty for lunch. Very good sandwich. My daughters were happy with their sandwich as well. Order at the counter and they bring the sandwiches out to the table outside the sandwich shop. Very good service.

Great little sandwich shop tucked away in Paseo Nuevo mall off State Street! Highly recommend. Guys that work there are very nice and friendly. A good place to go if you need to grab a sandwich to take back to your hotel to eat later.

Decided to have light dinner in the room so just grabbed some soup (minestrone- really good) and club sandwich (also good and very generous portion with some pasta salad on side). More than enough to give us dinner...

We initially got a salad and prosciutto & brie and just want a quick bite before getting back on the road. But who knew sandwiches could be this good, the apricot spread was a perfect match with the brie and prosciutto! We ended up ordering the roast beef au jus to take one on the road. And of course we couldn't wait and had half of it because it's fresh and hot, can't resist. It's delicious too.

Had lunch and the staff was very kind and helpful. Like the chickens salad but did not really think it had enough flavor for me. It was as good but it seemed to me it could use more flavor. I just think I am not as happy with healthy tasting food. Everything looked great. Very fresh and healthy for sure. I am super picky and I like a ton of flavor.
