| - This Pickle Barrel isn't doing the franchise name any good. Our last visit there in late November 2017 was their last chance after a two year hope for a complete reset. Previous management, service and food quality was horrendous enough to put us off for those years. Returned with new hope that all must have changed by now, but they've got a chronic problem, and if anything, have worsened. Slow service, wasn't a good start, although friendly enough when she was with us, that's something you could work with, but the food, that's a staple requirement for dining out. My child's chicken fingers and fries came with a hidden barbecue sauce smear underneath some fries, as if they were from someone else's returned plate! When my deli sandwich arrived (about 10 minutes later than the other serving), there was a brown coleslaw, cold sandwich with a mustard stain, the hard edged stale cheese -brittle!, and large chunks of meat ends (see attached photo). I left it as you see it there, and not just for it's composition. The chef clearly doesn't care about what they're serving at all. We hailed down a manager who discounted our bill incrementally, but never returned, avoiding us. No more chances. We look forward to seeing another restaurant go in here. As a regular attendee of the Leslie Street Pickle Barrel Restaurant since the 80s, and a fan, the franchise owners have to stop this location from doing harm to your namesake.
