It's just too bad the food except pickles and fries SUCKS... Don't understand how they managed to make them salty and bland at the same time... really wish they change their recipes... go to browns or charcoal instead...

Lovely service at the table, comfortable for the hour we were there for.The booth we were at in the back left corner needs a new light bulb had to use my flashlight on my phone to read the menu.Otherwise, all expectations met.

Was greeted at the door by a smiling, friendly young lady who showed us to our table. She actually asked if we preferred chairs or booths. We chose a table with both. Gave us menus and said our server will be by shortly. Our server (Emily) came by and asked if we would like some assorted pickles and gave us the run down of all the specials. Asked a few questions, and we laughed a bit at being first-timers to The Pickle Barrel. She was great at answering all our questions. Took our drink orders and gave us time to look over the menu. We needed more pickles already. lol they went fast. We love pickles. Ordered the surf and turf and the salmon and shrimp. Both were fantastic. The steak was cooked perfectly and seasoned absolutely gorgeously. That comes from a person who adds salt and pepper and usually ketchup to everything before actually tasting it. The mashed potatoes were real potatoes with the skins still on, oh so yummy! The salmon melted like butter and was absolutely delicious. The shrimp was also scrumptious. The manager visited our table as well, and we got to tell him that the chef/cook was amazing. We have been to other restaurants where we have paid more and have been disappointed with what was served to us, definitely not the case here. So impressed with the ENTIRE experience. Will definitely be returning here again soon. Emily was so nice and very friendly. I do hope that when we go back she is or server again. Made us feel like we were visiting friends for dinner instead of a restaurant. Can't say anything about dessert because we were so full from the delicious entrées that we had no room left. If looking for a night out this is your place to go. It is affordable not crazy priced like some places. Great value for the portions you receive and it is delicious. Thank you for a wonderful spur of the moment dinner out.
