Mr. Pickles (3200 Folsom Blvd. or 1420 65th St.) - eaten 7/15/06. We chose the 3200 Folsom Blvd. location -- the former site of Merlino's Freeze. My sandwich (#12) was huge and tasty. Chris had the #13 (the "Mr. Pickles") and seemed to have a similar reaction, although they forgot to put avocado on it, which is pretty lame. Maybe they'd given up serving avocado after the News & Review's use of the word "unctuous" in their review of the place. Although a meaning of "unctuous" is "buttery", the more common usage is to describe a smarmy person. So perhaps they misinterpreted. We even shared a small orange Merlino's freeze for dessert. Yummy!

There's a Pickles near our place too, and they seem to be a fairly standard sandwich shop. Definitely better than Subway, and the people in ours are pretty nice, plus they had a dancing pickle out front for a while, and I have a hard time saying no to dancing vegetables.

I am curious if they still serve Merlinos freeze's in Mr. pickles. I just moved back after 10 years and I grew up on merlino's freeze so I was wondering if they were still around when I saw it was now Mr. Pickles...

Yes, you can get Merlino's Freeze at the Folsom Blvd. Mr. Pickles. (The one that's in the former Merlino's building.)

I say, say "yes" to dancing vegetables. The Pita Pit also has anthropomorthic vegetables, Carl, although I can't quite recall whether any dancing is depicted in their store's murals. You should check it out.
