Description

Nestled in a spacious, modern setting, this restaurant offers a mixed bag of dining experiences. With attentive staff and prompt service, diners often rave about generous portions and delightful dishes like buffalo wings and corned beef sandwiches. However, some reviewees express disappointment, citing inconsistent food quality, with options like smothered and parmesan chicken failing to impress. High prices may deter return visits for some, while others appreciate the family-friendly atmosphere. Overall, while the ambiance and service receive kudos, the food's variability suggests room for improvement to match the restaurant's potential and brand reputation.

We went to the restaurant on a Saturday evening during the first week that restaurants reopened under provincial guidelines. We were greeted warmly and quickly by our server. We ordered buffalo wings as an appetizer, followed by a cheeseburger and a meat dish for our main courses. All the dishes were served hot, fresh, and delicious, with generous portions. We enjoyed our spacious and cozy table, and our server was attentive, even refilling my hot water with lemon. We had a great evening and look forward to returning in the future!

Determined, date night with the naves at the pickle barrel pickering location. the service at the beginning was slow but improved to the end. we ordered the Thai cauliflower bites and the French wobble soup to start. the Thai bite were good and nasty said they had the French wobbles right. for our head, I ordered the nebel lachs that was great! delicious, big part. I'll take a definitiw. can't I even make dessert? hubs ordered the pesto pasta he enjoyed. platz was clean, a tad on the cool side tho that made it unpleasant (for me.) also it wasn't about the seat that felt deep, but didn't know that until we were sitting? would we go back? likely, but not our first choice.

This restaurant is a great spot for delicious food and generous portions perfect for a family meal. It was surprisingly empty during the busiest dinner time. I believe the high prices of the main dishes may be the reason for the lack of customers and low ratings.

We went for lunch today and both ordered Reuben sandwiches which included soup and coleslaw. We both enjoyed our meal very much and the coffee was hot and delicious. The chocolate cake for dessert was also great. Best was our excellent waitress who was the fast and friendly. The restaurant seemed new and modern and very clean with high ceilings. We liked that the hostess conscientiously checked ID carefully to vaccine certificates. No idea why there are some negative reviews for this restaurant, I’m glad we went.

We had had an arduous day. Perhaps because it was also such a dismal day with a relentless cold rain. We were delighted to slide into a comfortable booth in this spacious restaurant with a high ceiling. It was a pleasure to have the traditional corned beef sandwich plate. We were given a plate of sliced pickles which was a perfect accompaniment to the meal. Our server also had a fresh pot of decaffeinated coffee made for me which was delicious. A manager also came around at one point to see how everything was. I didn't leave so much as a fry on my plate.
