I'm another one of those "I went to Spicy Pickle because I bought the Groupon" people. I've been reading not so great things about the place, so my expectation bar was set fairly low. That worked well because I was not disappointed by the food. I was not blown away either.
I went with the half sandwich + soup combo. I let one of my friends use up the remainder of my Groupon. On a recommendation from another friend, I chose the Yard Bird and paired it up with the Seafood Bisque. I quite enjoyed the bisque. It wasn't too salty and was pretty flavorful. The sandwich was decent. It started off slightly blah, but then half way through, I reached the section that had all of the cubes of apple and the piece of bacon. That part of the sandwich was delicious and ended the meal on a high note. As for the pickle, it wasn't in-your-face spicy, but I consider that a good thing.
Overall, I give Spicy Pickle an A-OK. The food was good enough that I wouldn't mind returning for another lunch with friends.
