This isn't my favorite Spicy Pickle location, but I was grateful for it when I worked across the street on the new VA hospital. Â It was either these good paninis or greasy pizza, and I don't do well in the afternoons with greasy food.
The staff has always been reasonably friendly, after all you have to consider that you are on Colfax and it is the lunch hour, and the sandwiches have been brought out within 10 minutes or so. Â I'm not complaining. Â It does tend to get a little dirty during lunch rush, so you may have to bus the rude people's before you meal as well as your own. Â Big deal, I say.
Spicy Pickle has tanked as a good sandwich place, IMO. I used to love them, but something has drastically changed. You're lucky to find one because they've all mostly closed. There are still couple stragglers around though.
This location is painfully slow even when there aren't many people in there. I've been on several occasions hoping for something to change, but its been the same each time. I'd like to also add that it seems they've skimped on the quality of their ingredients. Something seems a little off with their sandwiches these days. I can't say I'll ever return and it's a shame, they used to hit the mark. What happened Spicy Pickle?
