My mother, my daughter, a friend of ours, and I go to Hooters every week for a good helping of fried pickles. We LOVE them. Their dipping sauce for their fried pickles is top notch. We love HOOTERS fried pickles!!
They've had them for years at Penguin Drive-in in Charlotte NC. They're served with a spiced mayo type of dip - very tasty.
I've been eating them all of my life! They were always on the Toot's menu in Murfreesboro, TN. Best ones in Orlando are at Jocakamo's New Orleans Kitchen!
Side note: I only like the chips. I've had the fried spears several times and they miss out on the crunch factor and tend to get soggy quickly.
Though they do have them at Cheeseburger in Paradise, they are not very good. They don't use the right batter, so they come out gritty somehow. But here in GA, there are plenty of places serving them up--Fox Bros BBQ being my favorite so far, but I have heard good things about the ones at The Glenwood.
yum. had my first fried pickle in Yazoo City, MS a year ago... they are awesome. Ill never order them up north or at a chain. i loved what i ate down in MS! i learned that deep-fried catfish is good for your soul and palate! thank you MS!
I love May festival season. There are fried pickles at Toad Suck Daze, but that's winding down right this minute. But I think I can manage a jaunt up to Atkins for a less congested festival.
What I want to know is whose pickles are they using? The Atkins pickle plant has (sadly) closed.
And it's not like preferring fried okra to popcorn is a bad thing.
