Three Pickles has two locations to satiate your appetite: Downtown at 126 E. Canon Perdido St. at the old Jimmy's Oriental Gardens Dining Room. Since opening in the historic location,the deli has proven itself as a keeper on the Santa Barbara sandwich scene. It won the Lazarus Award in the Independent's Foodie Awards chosen by Indie writer George Yatchisen this past September. The award noted, "Three Pickles already served up some of the town’s best sandwiches (their Presidio alone is in the running for perfect pastrami),but when they moved into the old dining room of Jimmy’s Oriental Gardens, it warmed the hearts (and livers, no doubt) of many who had missed that classic watering hole ."

Downtown hours: Monday - Saturday 11am to 4 pm. (805)965-1015.

Goleta location at 420 S. Fairview Avenue and it's open Monday - Friday 11am - 3 pm. (805) 964-4585. Find Three Pickles on Facebook too.
