The salad bar is the star of the show definitely. Lots of options as well as dessert. The salad bar is kept in a separate section of the restaurant with its own air conditioner so everything is kept nice and cool which was fantastic. You have to go early but be prepared to wait in line for the salad. A LONG line. The food from the menu was okay. Not great.

That's a different review. The food presentation is good, the serving size more than ample, but the biggest missing ingredient for many items on the menu is flavor. I've now tried 15 different items on the menu, and eight of them completely were blah and failed my taste test. A Reuben I had, for example, was unrecognizable. It neither looked nor tasted like the popular sandwich. The Philly Cheesesteak had only meat on an undercooked bun. There was only a trace of onions and bell peppers. Forget the bowls, they have no taste whatsoever. On the other hand, the shrimp basket, steakhouse burger, and Chili Lime Grilled Chicken Sandwich all were very good. The Chips and Dip was outstanding! That's what is so frustrating about the Pickle Barrel. The gap between the good food and the bad food is a canyon! But I like the restaurant overall enough to keep going back and compiling a list of foods they excel at where I can continue to enjoy those and stay away from the duds.

Visited The Pickle Barrel recently and overall, the experience was just okay. The food was decent…read morebut a bit underwhelming. Given the name, I was hoping for a menu packed with pickle-inspired items, but surprisingly, there weren't many. The fried pickles ended up being pretty bland. We also tried the wings,they weren't very warm when they arrived, but the Islander sauce has potential. It just needed a little more punch. On the upside, the blue cheese dressing was solid,nice and chunky, which I personally love. Mac n cheese bites were probably the best thing we tried. The prices were very reasonable, which was a plus. The best part of our visit, by far, was the service. Our server, Gina, was fantastic. She was super friendly, checked in often, answered all our questions, and just had a really fun and upbeat personality that made the whole experience more enjoyable. She is the reason I rated 4 stars. Not sure I'd rush back for the food, but if I did, it'd be because of Gina.

My mom had never been here and we had been once before but what I could remember it was a small,…read morefun, quaint little place off the beaten path with good steaks and seafood. We hadn't eaten all day and were starving. Plus it's an hour drive to get here. We could tell they were crowded from the parking lot but oh well. It's a Friday evening at 7 pm. They took our name down but didn't give a time estimate. We sat outside under the tornado wind fans and picked up some drinks from the bar. Coke for me, tea for mom and a beer for my husband. After about 30 min, we had a table ready. The chef show of smoking outside was getting nauseating. This is where things went south. Our hostess gave us our silverware and menus annnddd left. Empty drinks sat on the table while ice just kept melting. My husband was able to flag someone down to get a drink but she ran off before asking me or my mom. Our waitress finally came to the table and took our appetizer order. She thankfully came back to get our food orders but still no drinks. Now, have you ever heard of island time? Well thats what were on except the music was extremely loud, tables were hooping and hollering and we were stuck sitting in our wicker chairs. The appetizer took about an hour to come out. The fried pickle batter slipped off like a batter stealing base. And some parts of the batter were still undercooked. After that, I noticed the table next to us kept waiting for their bill. They had asked several times. They finally went to the bar after approximately 45 min. My mom started to ask if they forgot us. We still had no drinks by the way. I was willing to drop a $20 and leave. We stayed. Our food came out around 9:30 pm. The French dip so was good but waiting 2 hours good. Im not so sure. We were trying to get to go boxes but ended up having to go to the bar for the boxes and to pay. They were already clearing the table by the time we got back and we had left our stuff there so we could also use the restroom. We just quickly packed our food and went outside to use the bathroom. They women's is a one stall. Not the best. Not the worst. It did its job. Will we be back? Hard to say. 3 hours for food, almost no service and no refills.
