You probably won't believe me when I say this...but the food is pretty good. I wouldn't have believed someone until I went for the first time last week.
Our 8pm reservations were probably unnecessary, based on the 15 or so occupied tables in a land of 40 or so. Yikes, right? Not exactly, because Pickwick and Frolic has a decent drink menu, good and basic American dinner fare menu, and will get your tickets for you from will call if you are seeing a show.
Now it's not the least expensive menu in town, but there are some good bargains. The steak sandwich? Not one of those bargains, but you'd have to check with someone else because I didn't order that. I did go with the rotisserie chicken and my lord it was a delicious feast. They must really have a rotisserie and they really do serve you half a chicken. 2 others got pasta, and another got scallops which were decent size and were said to be delicious.
Should you choose this over other places downtown if you aren't going to a show at Hilarities? I'm not sure. Maybe it just means you need to go to Hilarities more often, because that was a damn good show as well.
