First off I must say I really like the decor and atmosphere of the newer Pickle Barrel locations.
I have always found the staff here friendly enough, but not exceeding any expectations. The food is pretty average, the deli sandwiches are pretty good, but I've had bigger and better in the same price range.
They always seem to carry whatever marketing specials their suppliers have on, I've received a Steam Whistle 1L boot glass, and 1L ceramic stein here, which I'm sure is a draw for extra customers.
This particular evening we were sat in a corner, round booth that was very private as the walls of the booth were padded and go right up to the ceiling, felt as though no one else could hear us, although I'm not sure if that was actually the case.
