Ye Olde Pickle Factory - Nisswa

Yeah, that's a local favorite. I was there forever. Great place for a nice cold beer, buy yourself a T-shirt or sweatshirt, if you have inventory, they warn quickly. Bartenders are almost always on site and friendly. One of Nisswa's regular and popular hotspots.

Pickle factory is one of the local favorites, so I had to stop. It was 10 a.m. and we just needed a bite to eat. But the food was decent. The staff was nice. Place was cleaned properly. Clothes for sale was super sweet and cheap (sadly I didn't have space to bring something back with me). Would go back, even those I think pickles are rough.

A great bar made awesome because of Dave the bartender!! Totally enjoyable experience! He was friendly, funny, genuine and gave great service to everyone! To Dave's boss....don't let him get away!!

Ya know, an awful lot of the people who come into the restaurant understand it's a tough labor market. We also understand things happen and an item or two may not be available. At the same time, regardless of the above issues, we expect some sort of pleasant greeting when we arrive. After all, we planned on spending money...in fact, all six of us were planning on having apps, entrees, and a few beers. We were there to support the business. But we walked out when some sourpuss server unloaded on us, in a miserable way, about not having more servers and not having a good number of menu items available. Talk about a buzzkill...she's an obvious pro at chasing (non-local) customers away. I'm not sure if I have ever met a more negative server. She appeared to be happy serving beer to a group of locals but beyond that, her attitude and interest in other guests was absolutely zero. Last year the food was just O.K. at best. This year, the attitude of the server made us all head for another restaurant. They'll be no 3rd try for the Pickle Factory when we return to Nisswa later this year or in 2022. There are plenty of other choices. Stay clear of this miserable joint.

Yep this is a local favorite. Been around forever. Great place to go for a nice cold beer by yourself a t-shirt or sweatshirt if they have inventory warning they go fast. Bartenders are almost always spot on and friendly. One of the gems of Nisswa.
