Its signature Cajun-style seasoning added great flavor and just enough heat. While it was super flavorful on its own, when paired with the tangy buttermilk ranch dipping sauce, it was perfection. I really liked the buttermilk&#8217;s complementary tang with the pickle&#8217;s tanginess. The coin-cut shape also delivered on that aforementioned ideal crunch-to-pickle ratio.<\/p>\n<p>I inhaled these, and I&#8217;ll definitely be back to try more of the pickle menu before it&#8217;s gone on May 5th.
