| - We had a decent dinner here.
The food is really not overly exciting, they still have the classic pickle barrel staples like smoked meat sandwiches and deli, along with a plethora of other items, including Asian, Italian and middle eastern inspired dishes. Something to please everyone, I suppose. I didn't find anything to be entirely innovative or interesting.
The restaurant was closing early because of a staff event which is fine, but it did seem like the servers and hostesses were really trying to keep reminding us to be out as soon as possible.
The food was decent, I had the brisket sandwich which was covered in gravy, with a side of tomato soup and it comes with a pickle and coleslaw. Everyone enjoyed their meal. One person in our party ended up having to share the deli platter with someone else because they ran out of the ribs and couldn't find anything else on the menu that she wanted and this was 15-20 minutes after we had placed our orders. We got a lot of apologies but generally restaurants give a discount or something to make things right, we didn't receive anything to that effect.
The restaurant has been renovated quite a few years back and it's warm and welcoming. The food is ok, nothing exciting to be honest, if you want a simple meal for a reasonable price or if you're with picky eaters, the pickle barrel is a good stop.
