Saturday morning was my first time at the pickle barrel in years. I remember coming here and loving the atmosphere. I wish my experience was better.
The food was average. The service is what made the experience truly awful. The waitress Katherine gave attitude when my guest asked questions about the food. She took forever to take orders and rarely checked on us. The restaurant was empty and we should have been seen to or taken care of. We had to ask her for water refills. When we were presented the bill, we needed it split in half; even though we tried to get her attention, she walked by our table multiple times, not caring. Finally my friend went to her station to ask for separate cheques. She put her finger to my friend's face and said "I'm busy hold on." She then made my friend wait 5 minutes before leaving her behind and heading straight to our table with separate bills.
In my opinion tips should be worked for, not expected. I refused to give her a tip. This waitress was the WORST waitress and completely ruined my experience. She needs to be retrained on BASIC customer service, or fired.
