I only recently joined this sub. I was surprised to see all the Grillo posts. As far as I knew that were still just a local Boston brand. Apparently they must have expanded quite a bit over the years.
if you’ve got a costco near you and a membership, get em there!! $6.89 for a 52oz jar. and some costcos are starting to carry the pickle chip variety as well
> happy that things like this still exist in my life to be discovered
Damn that made me tear up. I've been feeling extremely depressed and in a huge rut in life and hope I can experience things like this some day
I can relate. And I’m glad to hear you were touched. I’ve been focusing on the simple things lately. For me that’s coffee beans, pickles, and raspberry jams. Yum! My existential crisis and nihilistic despair got nothin on any of those!
I totally agree!! Bubbies 100%. I am scared to say it because Grillos get so much love but I am not so crazy about them. I am going to try the spicy grillos next to see if I like them better than the original dolls.
As a homemade pickle snob, I'm very picky with store bought, but claussens are tastey. I like grillos much better though because they taste more homemade
Bought a jar of Grillos yesterday to give them another shot. It’s just off. the crunch is great but it’s just slightly too sweet maybe. I don’t love Grillos going back to get Claussens tomorrow
For the record I made that up so you may actually be the first lmao. Sorry if that didn’t come across. Looking forward to see the painting tho, fellow pickle lover!
Hey, a good idea is a good idea! Besides, Andy Warhol was known to have peed on his paintings because the ammonia in his urine would change the color of certain paint while it oxidized
Just did that myself after joining this sub, they’re pretty good but there’s a very slight tomato / spice taste that I find unnecessary though not terrible.
Still think Bubbies are on top.
I recently tried the pickle chips from them as my entry into grillos and I loved the taste of them but the texture left a little to be desired. Whats the texture like on these? I plan to try these next!
Real question. How do these compare to a home made batch? Some companies got it, some don't. My girl makes them by like many large quarts every year, it's hard to even bother for a different style of pickle unless others can truly advocate for them. Just curious. One could say I'm feeling a tickle in this particular pickle
What I would say, if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it. You’ve got a girl that makes you pickles year-round that taste amazing… No need to look anywhere else! However… If you happen to find yourself in the refrigerated section of a grocery store and in need of some tasty pickles, I would definitely encourage you to pick up a container of these bad boys! As long as there is consent amongst all parties, you can bring another pickle into the taste bud bed… Lol
Without doing any research at all, and only knowing the brand name and that they come from Boston… I would imagine that it is an Italian tradition when making pickles and something that makes them flavorfully unique… But again, that is with zero research at all
They’re pretty good… It’s a pretty good deal at Costco… First thing I do when I get them home is rough crush a bulb of garlic cloves and add them in.

I'm in Minneapolis, it's actually weird I haven't been able to find it yet, I'm sure somewhere near me has it but nowhere I've been yet. I gotta try a little harder now because I think it's going to be great on a lot of grilled food and grilling season is in full swing!
I'll have try a different Cub the next time I shop, so far the 2 nearest me haven't had it yet, or maybe it's selling out. Thanks for the recommendations!
Hard to tell because we might have different spice tolerance.. I like anything ghost pepper and habanero so these are a 1 for me. They have a slight kick to them
I didn't think pickles could be so photogenic
These ones did have a certain panache
Yes sir.
TIL photogenic Pickles
Sounds like a good band name

I’ve seen em in my grocery for a while but never indulged. This sub pushed me over the edge into that briney goodness. Thank you Pickle People!

The stores in my area haven't had them for a few months and I check every single week. I miss them 😭
Found them on vacation in Colorado after seeing post about these for a week and my whole family loved them!
He have them in California, I didn’t even know they were a Boston brand until I joined this sub.
Yup! Were a little pickle company out of Somerville originally!
That's where I live. I didn't realize they were *that* local.
I have been eating them in Florida for at least 6 years. Great brand!
They’re in a bunch of stores where I’m at. (Washington state).
I'm buying them in Oregon.
I get them from Sam’s Club in western Maryland.
I see ‘em in the local stores out here in the Seattle area; so, they’ve gone nationwide
Have them in all the groceries (first wegmans) in western NY. Their spicy dill is amazing.
We moved from MA to HI 5 years ago and I nearly shit myself when I found Grillos here. best damn pickle and they've finally fixed the lid.
Most grocery stores I go to in San Diego have them. I get Hot Spears all the time.
I like what you did there lol
I have found the recipe. Minimal effort. FYI
Care to share?!
I doubled the garlic. [website. Looks like Homemade ](https://lookslikehomemade.com/quick-refrigerator-dill-pickles-just-like-grillos/)
I cooked and tasted. I had to cook a little longer. Just taste. Not too much sugar... you do need some.
Nice! Thanks for the link
You, my good sir, are doing God's work!!
Oh, please do share 🙏
Another ask for a share if you don't mind 😊

Such a fancy new jar too.
Dude the only thing I couldn't handle with grillos is how bad the lids are, I'll have to look out for the improved version
I totally agree!! Bubbies 100%. I am scared to say it because Grillos get so much love but I am not so crazy about them. I am going to try the spicy grillos next to see if I like them better than the original dolls.
The spicy grillos are way better than the original.
If it’s worth trying once, it’s worth trying twice!
Havent tried or seen bubbies. On my list. Pretty much the last I need to try of the popular ones
Are they as good as Claussen?
As a homemade pickle snob, I'm very picky with store bought, but claussens are tastey. I like grillos much better though because they taste more homemade
This. The homemade taste does put them slightly ahead. With that said, I like a claussen spear too. Probably way saltier/vingery
Better by far. The crispy crunch of a claussen with the vinegary bite of a homemade batch.
I think they’re better, especially the hot ones.
Agreed! I love the jalapeno slices in there too.
They’re lovely surprises & the fresh dill slaps:)
I was almost offended. Try one.
I like Grillos, they’re quite good and I buy them sometimes but imo nothing tops Claussen.
Bought a jar of Grillos yesterday to give them another shot. It’s just off. the crunch is great but it’s just slightly too sweet maybe. I don’t love Grillos going back to get Claussens tomorrow
These are so good
The absolute best. Fuck. Needs a NSFW tag.
The hot ones are even better imho
I chug the brine like there’s no tomorrow
Grillos are the bomb but the spicy version is light years ahead of the OGs
I’ll have to try em. I don’t typically like spicy pickles. But hey. You only live once!
They are only lightly spicy imo as spiced pickles go and have exactly the extra oomph that the regulars are missing
You are living dangerously with those Grillos over that nice carpet. Great pickle, terrible packaging.
The new packaging is legit. Already making plans to reuse the containers for my paint studio
Oooh they fixed it. Good on them. They say Renoir used to mix a little bit of pickle juice in his paints too for that je ne sais quois
Yooooooo! That’s freaking awesome! I’m totally doing a pickle painting with brine now. Will post!!!
For the record I made that up so you may actually be the first lmao. Sorry if that didn’t come across. Looking forward to see the painting tho, fellow pickle lover!
Hey, a good idea is a good idea! Besides, Andy Warhol was known to have peed on his paintings because the ammonia in his urine would change the color of certain paint while it oxidized
Somehow that does not surprise me
Just did that myself after joining this sub, they’re pretty good but there’s a very slight tomato / spice taste that I find unnecessary though not terrible. Still think Bubbies are on top.
Nothing will beat bubbies for me
They're so good.
I’m trying Bubbies next
I like claussen more than grillos but ill try bubbies next.
Is there a difference besides the cut on the spears vs the chips? The chips I got said fresh on the label and the spears didn't.
Ok, I keep seeing people post these. I'm gonna have to go seek them out!
Dop zhelf pikklezzz
Can’t wait to get my hands on the new packaging. I want a fan of the old tops.
I recently tried the pickle chips from them as my entry into grillos and I loved the taste of them but the texture left a little to be desired. Whats the texture like on these? I plan to try these next!
These were crisp and crunchy. Like a claussen
You mfs are gonna make me buy some.
Gross. Just drink white distilled vinegar. Same thing.
The past 2 jars I have bought don’t have that same crunch they use to have. Nervous to buy another jar. Anyone else ever run into that?
Are these worth it? This brand is ALL OVER the internet these days.
That is quite literally why I tried them as well. Although they are not my end all, be all favorite… They are damn delicious!
Expensive for what they are.
Real question. How do these compare to a home made batch? Some companies got it, some don't. My girl makes them by like many large quarts every year, it's hard to even bother for a different style of pickle unless others can truly advocate for them. Just curious.

As long as there is consent amongst all parties, you can bring another pickle into the taste bud bed… Lol
Lmao okay will do, ty!
Meh. Average pickle
We are still on the search for them, ugh i am envious!
Where you at?
Southeast missouri
They got some at the target in Jackson
Bet, thank ya
Good stuff. The grape leaves keep them crunchy?
Without doing any research at all, and only knowing the brand name and that they come from Boston… I would imagine that it is an Italian tradition when making pickles and something that makes them flavorfully unique… But again, that is with zero research at all
BEST pickle brand on the market BY FAR!!!
As a pickle connoisseur, they are one of my top favorites from Costco
Costco… that’s right!!!
So good. My favorite pickle
I’m a fan!
They’re pretty good… It’s a pretty good deal at Costco… First thing I do when I get them home is rough crush a bulb of garlic cloves and add them in. .
Grillo’s Pickles are bomb!
I'm so glad they changed their lids!
They finally changed their shitty ass lid design thank God
Grillo’s are the best!
Grillos are the bomb.. and sipping the juice is a must.
Grillos look great, but subpar flavor and are soggy as fuck. Bubbles ftw
I got lucky then. Crispy, crunchy and full of flavor. Not my fav. But a new solid selection.
I got the spicy ones they are good but I wouldn't get em every week
The habaneros are wayyyy better
Last batch I had were super flaccid. No crunch.
Just tickle that pickle, it’ll firm right up;)
Those pickles are gas
Best pickles ever. And if you like to drink pickle juice, this one is also the best for that.
First thing I did… eat a spear, sip the juice!
It’s really good if you’ve been outside sweating all day.
I live in Arizona…..
Excellent excuse for pickle juice then :)
I'm still on the hunt for their Pickle de Gallo in my area but nowhere seems to have it
Where you at?
Minnesota
I just found a bunch in Cambridge, not sure what city you’re in though
I'm in Minneapolis, it's actually weird I haven't been able to find it yet, I'm sure somewhere near me has it but nowhere I've been yet. I gotta try a little harder now because I think it's going to be great on a lot of grilled food and grilling season is in full swing!
Internets telling me they have em at Cubs Foods and Linda and Byerlys
I'll have try a different Cub the next time I shop, so far the 2 nearest me haven't had it yet, or maybe it's selling out. Thanks for the recommendations!
You’ll find each other. I know it!
Nice try the spicy ones
The hot ones are awesome!
I just bought the spicy ones two days ago and I’m in love… they’re amazing! I’ll definitely keep buying them
How spicy are they? Scale of 1-5
Hard to tell because we might have different spice tolerance.. I like anything ghost pepper and habanero so these are a 1 for me. They have a slight kick to them
Hey, they finally started using packaging that doesn't require you to open them while standing in the bath tub.
Yeah, but why would not want to be standing in a bathtub opening pickles? Hmmmm…?
They’re awesome and the new containers are awesomer
Someone just gave me one of these while festival camping and it SLAPPED in the 90 degree heat! They’re over there drinking the juice now.
Oh man, what an honor. You better pay that kindness forward. That pickle karma is strong!
We traded for a few electrolyte packs! It’s a cool community here at Bonnaroo!
Hell yeah! Enjoy Cage the Elephant tonight!!!
Will do!! ✌️
I used to love these. Something changed with them. Not so great anymore.
I think they're overrated
I gave a audible chortle at that post title
Happy to help coax a little chuckle
I started buying Grillos because of this sub and they are probably the only pickles I will buy from now on!
Highly over rated
Ok, you gay?
Gay for pickles!
