I was shopping with a friend so we stopped in for a small bite to eat for lunch. We chose Pickle Barrel because of the convenient location. We were seated quickly but the service from the waiter was a little slow.
We ordered deep fried pickles and the fish tacos. We also wanted just some pickles on the side like you'd get with a sandwich and were told they now charge for that. I thought that was a little odd considering we were ordering meals and I've asked for a few extra before and never been charged. Just seems like subpar customer service.
As far as food goes the deep fried pickles were good, they're actually the only reason I didn't rate a 2. Nice and crispy and good pickles inside. They gave us a good amount as well. However the fish tacos were a let down. I could have made better at home easily. One of my fish tacos was half batter with nothing inside and the toppings were nothing special. Kind of bland. The tortillas tasted raw like they weren't warmed up.
The waiter never came back after bringing the food so we didn't get a refill on our drinks and had to finish the meal thirsty. I don't expect to have to hunt down my server for a drink mid-meal. I felt like the waiter could care less about us. Turns out when we got the bill they charge 1.50 for 4 extra side pickles. Just disappointed all around, subpar service and food unless you only want an order of deep fried pickles.
