Jacob's Pickles, a popular Southern-style restaurant in the Upper West Side, was abruptly closed by the Department of Health following multiple health code violations, including the presence of rats and roaches and issues with its sewage system. Although the restaurant initially claimed it was closing for renovations, the inspection revealed significant health concerns that must be addressed. The management expressed gratitude for the intervention and prioritized guest safety, stating they would not reopen until compliant with health codes. Future plans for the restaurant and owner Jacob Hadjigeorgis include relocating and opening a new bar.
The Department of Health temporarily closed the Southern-style dining hotspot after the place showed evidence of rats and roaches, indicating severe health violations.
The safety of our guests and staff is always our top priority, and we will not reopen until every concern is resolved in full compliance with NYC Health Code standards.
