Ok. I was looking for a good place to have a good meal. I wanted a place that had everyday meals. Not super fancy, over the top food. The reviews were not so good. But I gave it a go. I'm glad I did. I had soup and a beef brisket sandwich with gravy and poutine fries. My first time for the fries. It was really good. The soup came out piping hot, as soup should be. Not warm. I'm a slow eater and I enjoy my food. I asked the waiter to not rush the second course which is usually futile but I was able to finish my soup and a minute later out came the sandwich and fries. Nice and hot. Two thumbs up. When I first arrived I was seated right away. After going through the rather large menu I made my choices. The waiter was right there. Other staffers also checked on me. They were all friendly. Over all a great experience. Kudos to the Vaughan Pickle Barrel. Good stuff. M. L. From New York. USA.
