Do you like fried pickles?

[statlerwaldorf]

Sliced are so much better. Buffalo Wild Wings has them.

[Deleted]

Love. But only slices

[Jalapeñomel]

Yes, I love them anyway they come.

[Deleted]

Ditto lazerus.

[2boys2danes]

I'm with all y'all.....prefer the slices to spears

We were at Red Robin awhile back and they had fried zucchini which I also prefer in slices and they brought out spears... those were nasty as well

[Jalapeñomel]

Carl's Jr has fried zucchini, and I could eat them until I passed out.

Love them. Prefer the slices. But there's a local pizza place that does spears, and they are awesome! I thin, they're double fried or something. The batter doesn't come off, the ratio is right. And, since we get them delivered, they travel really well.

[underwaterrhymes]

I love them. Spears. Chips. Don't care. They're all good.

[melodramatic26]

I love the spears! We only have one place that does spears here and they are awesome. But I love pickles. I think the chips are too batter-y. I ave had some chips that are ok, but never ones I love like the spears.

[cmedal]

Hooters makes good fried pickle chips too!

Where are you getting spears? We just moved west to the other county and our Cecil Whittakers has amazing spears.

[melodramatic26]

Big Daddy's. since we don't do the bar scene, ever, we rarely get them anymore. Typically well go to the big daddy's in Soulard before a Cardinals game.

I didn't know CW had spears! We don't have one neat us but might by work...

[janiejones]

Yes, I like the spears. But I don't like when they add dill to the batter. The pickles have enough fucking dill already.

[sarapocalypse]

Love them!! I prefer the slices as well but there is a pub in Maryland that we used to go to all the time that had amazing spears. I could eat those all day.

[bluetopaz]

I love regular pickles. I double plus love fried pickles (um, actually fried anything). I'm so glad they've become halfway popular so they're easier to find. I prefer the slices, but will settle for spears.

And I absolutely second stellasmom. You have to wait forever for a spear to cool to the point the inside won't set your face on fire, and by then the coating is on its way to mushy.

[Doc_Lobster]

Never had them.

[janegold]

I love both varieties but around here they usually only serve spears.

[Birdie]

Love them! I prefer them sliced because they're easier to eat (the batter seems to come off the spears easily) but I've also had bad slices. One place we went cut the thinnest pickle slice ever and then put a ton of batter on it. You could barely taste the pickle in it. Yuck.

Oh and I'm in Indiana. They've been around here for years and seem to be becoming more popular at restaurants.

[msgeeksout]

I don't like the spears for all the reasons mentioned but I adore the slices! Whenever, wherever I can get them I do. Hmm. Now I really want to hit up Texas Roadhouse or Cheeseburgers in Paradise for lunch.

They are just like perfect little bits of fried goodness.

Our CW's has a "smokehouse" menu. I guess they do BBQ too. We haven't tried that yet. But we use the pizza and pickles coupon once a week! The breading has a little kick to it.

I didn't even know this was a thing.

Sounds delicious!

I love pickles.

[Deleted]

I love them when they're sliced. The speared ones are just too much.

Where in MD?? I love the spear!

[RandZB]

I like them both. Chips usually are in restaurants, the only time I have had fried spears is at the state fair and they were slap your momma good.

[Gato]

Sliced.  But I've never even had the spears, so who knows?  Does seem like there would be a little bit too high pickle-to-batter ratio with the spears.

Olde Town Pub in Leonardtown (St. Mary's County). Definitely mine and DH's favorite spot in the county. That is the main thing I miss now that we've moved.

[blackcat]

They are very common around here (NC), I love the fried pickle slices with ranch dressing for dipping, MMM.

[Deleted]

LOVE them. I even like the spears, but do prefer the slices. Dipped in ranch dressing, of course.

[pantsparty]

Yes, I love them! Chips are WAY better than spears. I've made them before and they're time intensive, but so so good!
