| - I have been to this restaurant about ten times. This was due to the fact that I gave it a few chances, and the other times I was sadly meeting friends there, who were clueless about how this place is.
This Pickle Barrel has two main problems: a lack of cleanliness, and a generally lousy staff.
Firstly, the place just is not clean. Out of all the times I have been there, I have always experienced receiving at least one fork or knife rolled in my white napkin that had a fair amount of somebody else's meal on it. I also find it gross how most of their white cloth napkins have some human hair wrapped in them; which usually varies in size and quantity. Moreover, every once in a while you get your ice cream in a glass cup that reeks of that smell one's dishes have when one has failed to properly wash off the residue of chicken, beef, or eggs that came into contact with them in the sink or dishwasher.
Furthermore, the staff doesn't seem to want to be there, and try to make an absolute bare-minimum effort in terms of serving their customers. Most of them can barely even crack a smile.
Also, the servers are even rude and argue with one another. For example, I once went there with some people for a friend's birthday, and our waiter had to nearly beg his fellow-servers to gather to sing Pickle Barrel's lousy birthday song for my friend.
In terms of the food, it's decent, but nothing special. But it's pretty hard to enjoy eating any food with semi-unwashed cutlery, while being served by somebody who couldn't care less about their job.This place is just awful!
