The Pickled Peach

Delicious food and service from genuine people you can tell care about what they’re doing! The menu changes with the seasons, but everything I’ve had here has been from really good to great. They’ve got a fun selection of wine, beer, bottled drinks, and baked goods too. Try to beat the lunch rush!

We ordered a to go lunch and got the falafel salad, meatball sandwich, and Caesar kale salad. Overall it was a little disappointing, but there were some good things. The falafel was great, good size and tasty. The meatball sandwich was not very good. I’m not sure if they used cheap meat or overcooked the meatballs, but the only thing good about the sandwich was the bread and cheese. The Caesar kale salad was very small and not filling (see picture), but the taste was good. We probably won’t go back, but at least we tried it.

LOVED our vegetarian soups and sandwiches, the dark chocolate chunk and cherry cookie. The dogs were welcome on the heated patio, service was friendly as were the folks at the next table.

I was visiting this area for work and myself and a colleague wanted something quick but tasty! This place did not disappoint! Lots of homemade baked goods greet you right away. They have gluten-​free items from another bakery as well.
The staff is very helpful and friendly. For newcomers, they guide you through the ordering process. They are also very patient with questions.
Highlight: the house made, delicious soups! You grab a clean, one-​time use spoon to give their daily soups a taste. They were all good! I ordered the tomato and it was savory, robust but not overpowering! It paired well with my toasted sandwich, great for dipping.
We sat in a enclosed patio table area. It was a beautiful day and that atmosphere topped off the lunch.
All the elements combined, made for a really nice, relaxing and delicious lunch. I would stop here again if I ever make my way back to this area.

I thought the servings were small and pricey. I never even knew this place existed. tough location to find parking for. i would not go back.

I love the fact that this restaurant serves fresh, local ingredients on their menu. Many items are also health conscious and delicious as well. I went with a friend who was gluten-​free and they were able to accommodate her.

Wonderful spot for a deliciously prepared meal. Had the pulled beef with a side of curry squash and apple soup. First the roll bread was heated nicely for the sandwich, the crust was crunchy but soft inside making for a really nice bite. The flavor from the pulled beef was well balanced with the cucumber and pickled veg. The soup was just right in taste, not over strong with the curry and a slightly sweet undertone with the apple.
An excellent spot for lunch … we will definitely be back.

I had the Caesar Salad w, Kale and Chicken and it was great. Will be back for sure to try a sandwich.

Small place, BIG FLAVOR! Great little selection of craft sodas, wine by the glass, and beer on tap. Local ingredients for their salads, soups, and sandwiches. Quiet outdoor seating just off Main St. Many gluten-​free options.
It’s located behind the Ben and Jerry’s and there is a small 2 hour lot so you don’t have to parallel park on Main St.

Eating here is like having a boyfriend who is a chef who goes to the farmer’s market every day and then cooks for you. Plus, you can’t beat the service. And whoever is whipping up their vinaigrettes is a master.

This place was awesome! Right across from my favorite coffee shop «The Summit». It was SOOOOOO busy!!! For a Tuesday, it was insane. I can see why though. The food was amazing. I the roast beef, and it was incredible! The horse radish sauce on it was so creamy.
I also had the Mayan coffee, but it was just okay. It had cayenne pepper, chia, and vanilla. It was way to spicy for me!
My wife had a blueberry coffee which was pretty tasty! But I’d still say if your looking for coffee, the summit is the place to go.

Just okay. I feel like these recipes are all from Pinterest experimentation with no real formal training in cooking. I want to love this place but I’m rarely wowed when I eat here.

Honestly, I have no idea what all the fuss is about. I had heard and read such good things about this place, so I finally convinced some friends from work to go here with me for lunch.
It was five of us, we all ordered different things and not one of us was satisfied with our meals.
I ordered the braised beef sandwich in a kale wrap. My friends had a turkey sandwich, two of them ordered the roast beef sandwich and someone else got a shrimp sandwich (may have been a po’ boy).
Firstly, the serving sizes were hilariously small. The sandwiches were tiny, and I’m not even exaggerating. The po’ boy was the only sandwich that was decent sized. Mine was the size of a summer roll, no kidding. But it may have been partly my fault for ordering it in a kale wrap instead of bread. And then the kale-​white bean crap they give you on the side, it literally came in a tiny bowl, the size they serve ketchup in at fast food restaurants. When the first order came out and we saw it, we laughed out thinking it was some kind of silly joke and part of his food was still on its way… it wasn’t. Then why serve a little sandwich with its sad little kale companion on a huge ass tray? But anyway. My sandwich came out in a bread. I had to send it back because I was on a no-​carb diet. Mistakes were made, because it took them forever to make another sandwich or rewrap my braised beef in kale, apparently.
But I felt the worst for the guy who had the shrimp po’ boy. His sandwich came out after three of us had finished their meals. This is ridiculous! Especially at the prices they charge. An average of $ 9 for kids meal sized sandwiches, and the tiny sampler bowl of the kale-​bean salad. Not one of us left the place feeling full or satisfied.
Seating is really tight too. The patio has some picnic tables, but since it’s not covered, they were all wet from last night’s rain.
Needless to say, we won’t be stepping foot in this restaurant again, or even recommending it to anyone.
And get rid of the stupid hipster aluminum trays that you serve the pathetic sandwiches on guys, this isn’t prison.

Adorable spot! Delicious, locally sourced food.
On our first trip, we stopped in for a gluten free Snickerdoodle. We don’t usually eat gluten free food but now we want to try all of their gluten free goodies!
During our last trip my husband had a short rib sandwich, and I had a salad with squash and burrata. So so good!
We loved sitting outside to enjoy our food. I assume they enclose the patio when the weather is cold, as they don’t have seating indoors.
Always friendly service, and a beautiful atmosphere.
We’ll be back… regularly.

Often times some of those organic places stinks of hipsters and overpriced food. The Pickled Peach defines organics as a broad reaching to all circles and is absolutely competitively priced compared to their processed lunch neighbors. I’ve never once been disappointed in the service or the food. Fresh is an understatement for all of their menu items. There’s even a giant board honestly listing where every ingredient comes from. It’s the type of meal that your palate, body and wallet will thank you for.
Let’s also mention that on my second trip in there, regardless of its generally busy lunch patrons coming in, they already remembered my name.
Wonderful teas, coffees and sweets, also. I’ve tried most of their sandwiches and the shaved beet and honeyed goat cheese while although simple is perfectly executed and absolutely delicious. You’re going to want to splurge on one of the ever-​changing fresh soups made daily also as a tasty partner.

I had travelled the far distance to Davidson to eat brunch, but after brunch I needed dessert. Whats a girl to do?
I wondered the street of Davidson «downtown» and almost decided upon ice cream when I saw the Pickled Peach sign. I thought I’d wander in.
When I entered, the hippie immediately hit me. The sign above the kitchen outlined where each of their ingredients was sourced from, and the display of food on the counter contained… BROWNIES! Exactly what I was looking for.
I ordered my brownie, requesting a non-​corner piece. Paid the monies and walked out.
Oh my. That brownie was delicious and chocolatey. It was the best decision ever.
I didn’t get to try out the other foods, but based on that brownie, they should be amazing.

Moved to NC from Los Angeles last year and was desperate to find what I refer to as «real food» AND I was so happy to find The Pickled Peach! Everything is yummm, fresh, seasonal and impeccable quality.
I’ve had the following items on my visits and enjoy all of them: chicken & veggie soup, carrot ginger soup, ham & brie sandwich and the roasted root veggie salad (deli case). Aditionally, I’m obsessed with their coffee and tea! I don’t recall the brands but so good… Please open in Southpark!!! Please.

I’ve been twice for lunch now, once with my wife and once alone. And, based on those visits, I’ve stopped in to pick up some of the daily fresh salads to go. With that info in tow, I have been really interested in reading some of the negative reviews that have led to a 3.5 star average. More on my take on those reviews later.
The two sandwiches I have tried have both been fantastic. Roast beef and horseradish cream with arugula on a sub roll and the fried green tomato BLT on griddled sourdough. Both were delicious with top quality bread and fresh, tasty ingredients. You also get a small cup of one of their salads on the side and even though I hate lentils, I scarfed them up as prepared on my second visit. My wife had a turkey sandwich and loved the fact she could get it wrapped in a collard leaf vs. on bread. Nice option for low carb folks. I also had some delicious beef stew that was one of the soups of the day on our first trip. Very flavorful.
So regarding the other, more negative, reviews I see they basically lump into two categories. The biggest of these is about high prices and the other mentions service deficiencies. My take on price is this… This ain’t Subway people. The ingredients are locally sourced (check out the chalkboard over the kitchen), much care is obviously taken in their selection and preparation and the results more than meet the mark on the quality vs what you pay ratio. In terms of service, I have only experienced the staff to be friendly, personable, knowledgeable and proud of what they are doing.
When in Davidson, I would always have Pickled Peach at/​near the top of my list for a great lunch or early dinner.

What a darling little place! Another Friday lunch excursion and another winner!
The restaurant has a deli counter set up, with fresh salads, assortment of sodas, teas, beers, and homemade desserts on display. I regret having eaten a large breakfast that day, because everything looked so good! I decided to go with the ham sandwich, since it had pickled peaches on it. (I’ll let you connect the dots) It was served on a two pieces of toasted, buttery challah bread. In case you didn’t know butter equals love. Then it was topped off with shaved ham, melted brie and the pickled peaches. Pure bliss!
The experience in itself was pleasant. Our food took a little longer than I would have liked, but they were slammed, so I can understand. The outdoor patio is a great spot to people watch and see the coming and goings of downtown Davidson. All staff members were pleasant and one of the owners walked around giving out chip samples, during our wait to order, which I appreciated. Prices were are on the high side for a deli experience, but considering that all the ingredients are fresh, local and handmade, I can get down with it.
I’ll certainly give this place another go!

I was really looking forward to something new in Davidson. I stopped in for a sandwich to go. The menu is limited but I found several things that interested me. I ordered the Ham sandwich with Brie cheese. The total was $ 8.63, which I though was a little expensive but I assumed maybe the sandwich was big. After waiting about ten minutes my order was ready, I looked in the bag and saw the sandwich was a regular sized sandwich. Well now I was hoping it tasted really good. After arriving home the sandwich left me feeling annoyed. There was nothing special about the way it tasted, in fact it was quite dry. No pickle, no chips, nothing. For almost $ 9 I felt shortchanged.
I may try again in a few months but I can’t say I’d recommend the Pickled Peach. I hope they will take some of the feedback and make a few adjustments. With other sandwich shops in Cornelius and Huntersville I do not feel the need to return anytime soon.
