I've never been a huge fan of pickle barrel but it just happened to be where I ended up with two friends today for lunch.
I like that they actually have items that are labelled gluten free, as well as a list of foods on the website that are naturally gfree or modified ways to order meals. Simple pleasures ;)
I ordered the santafe bowl, which was quinoa, avocado, tomatoes, corn, chicken and black beans. It was supposed to have some sort of lime dressing but I didn't taste it. The meal was good - very filling and very tasty. It was also a fairly decent price at $15.99.
My biggest complaint would be the incredibly slow service we received. It took about an hour to get our drinks and my friend ordered a dry white wine and was brought a warm, fruity wine. White should never be warm, but it also seemed like he just didn't know what dry meant (in which case he should have asked for clarification instead of assuming).
She sent the wine back and it took at least 20 minutes to get her new wine. A little ridiculous.
I had no qualms with my delicious Bellini and my other friend enjoyed her martini.
Overall, the gfree options would probably tempt me at least a few more times, but my overall opinion of pickle barrel is still just meh.
