| - I don't like Pickle Barrel to begin with. The food is boring, bland, and no matter how they dress up their restaurants it is still a sub par chain restaurant.
Out of all of the PBs, this one has got to be the worst one of them all.
I was with a buddy a couple of weeks ago and we were hungry but nothing else in the neighbourhood was appealing, so we decided to go to PB only because we knew what we were going to get....we were wrong.
1. We arrived and had to wait for 5 minutes (no exaggeration for the hostess to arrive at her post. She arrives holding a cleaning cloth! First, a hostess should be at her post or at least close by so she can greet the guests!
2. The dining room looked like a tornado went through it. With all the staff around, you would think the place would be efficient and spotless. The place felt greasy.
3. Our waitress was nice, and calm while all the other staff looked frazzled and running around doing every job. The hostess was seen clearing tables and taking plates into the kitchen. Not efficiently either....what was the wait staff or bus staff doing?
4. The food was more bland and tasteless than other PBs. Surely, nothing to crow about.
In the end, I was thoroughly disappointed with my smoked meat sandwich, and the club sandwich my friend had was passable. The fries were of the frozen variety and tasted very bland. Some people may describe it as cardboard, but I've never tasted cardboard.
I don't give a lot of 1 stars because there is usually some sort of redeeming factor to be found. I did not find anything redeeming about this Pickle Barrel.
