Pickle Barrel

We stopped by for lunch hour on July 5, 2022. Ambiance was good and we were greeted by our server Rachel. She was pleasant to talk to and indeed liked to offer us the deals that would make sense with our kind of combo. With regards to food, we ordered Zucchini pasta, make your own balini, Southwest Chicken Caesar. Food was good but in comparison of the portion size, price was good too. We ordered creamy tomato soup which they did not have to they offered minestrone soup instead which we gladly accepted however, soup was not at par. It wasn't hearty at all - no beans, very sparse vegetables and moreover it tasted like diced canned tomato being thinned out with hot water, salt and pepper. That is the only thing that we did not like. Other than that service and rest of the food was good.

“Finally! A restaurant that serves amazing milk shakes!” Went out for dinner with my mom last week. We weren’t sure where to eat so we decided to go to the pickle barrel. Had Marcello as our awesome server. I am so satisfied and impressed with service and portion sizes! I was looking for a place that serves decent milk shakes for the past 3 months. I wasn’t expecting this, it’s like the size of a pitcher and it’s only $6 Not only is the portion size huge and reasonably priced, but it’s also the best milkshake I’ve had. Also, all of the other food that we order was delicious and also had enormous portion sizes - we didn’t finish it all and it took us days to eat the take-away. It’s so nice to see a restaurant that is fair with their portion sizes post-Covid 19. They haven’t been stingy with the level of service that they provide to their customers and that’s a really nice quality to see. Definitely coming back and recommending others (thank you again for having amazing milkshakes!)

We visited on 28 April for dinner, The venue is quite spacious, good ambiance, well arranged tables, comfortable cushions, sofa n chairs. Fairly crowded. I opted for French fries with hot n Tomato sauce n vanilla chocolate fudge being pure vegetarian, My son n Daughter in-law opted for their favourite items..

Service is good but menu has changed a lot. They removed what made Pickle Barrel unique and added Knockoff versions of popular things from other restaurants. Bring back the matzo ball soup and original menu please. I had the beet salad with chicken, it was good and filling. I’d still go here if I was in the mall and wanted a quiet place to get some work done while I ate. I find it’s not busy often.
