Excellent service from Skyler, delicious food and clean restrooms at the Wooden Pickle. My sweetie had their famous mahi mahi street tacos, a messy delight, and I had the portobello panini sandwich, which was perfectly crispy on the outside and very tasty. To go with it, I subbed a salad instead of fries, and for a small up-charge, I had a half of their pear and blue salad sans the bacon. It was so good! I want to go back for a whole salad and try one of their flatbreads to go with it, so I can bring some leftovers home for lunch the next day. Now, if they had a cocktail offering with a product from the nearby distiller, I would have made him be designated instead of me. read more

It's clearly a busy place. "Wait to be seated" suggests they'll at least acknowledge your arrival. Nope. Waited a bit. Again busy, but not okay. Servers walked round us several times before acknowledging we were there. Okay to wait for a table, but when the table becomes open, acknowledge us and let us sit, rather than continuing to make us wait. We were seated and waited again before given menus and cutlery. A couple sat down several minutes after us and were given cutlery and menus. I get different waitresses have different tables, but a table who arrives first should be served first. And yup, they got their food before we did. Food was disappointing. Fries were warm. Crab cake sandwich (with shrimp) lacked flavor, and tasted like a crispy potato cake. Buffalo chicken sandwich should not be kids chicken tenders toasted in sauce falling out of the sandwich. Burger was overcooked and dry. The bathroom needs a clean. Slippery floors, cracked tiles that feel like you're going to fall through the floor. Around disappointed read more

Wooden Pickle - Buffalo chicken sandwich - Pizza Near Me - Marion, Virginia

Overpriced food with rude staff. Bugs everywhere. I found hair and flies in my drink and food

Following a recommendation of a coworker, I drove to this small VA town to try it out. It was certainly worth the drive. I ordered the mahi mahi tacos and they were incredible! Friends ordered sandwich and carnitas tacos. We all were very satisfied. The place is homey feeling and the staff was friendly. A gem of a place in a small town read more

We've been coming to the Pickle for years. But this visit was a disappointment. We were stuck at an awkward round back table (front tables were "reserved" yet empty the entire time we were there). While the chicken tenders were epic, the flatbread (the Pickles' version of pizza) was tasteless and cold and the Mac and cheese just average. Wait staff was disinterested. Sad to see a Marion icon not what it used to be. read more

Friendly service, nice ambience, but not the type of food that satisfies my pallet. Menu is a bit bougie for my taste. Fried pickles were good read more

Wow. Just wow. This place was amazing. I would give it a 6 if I could. Everything was flawless. Run don't walk to come try it. My DD and I were in the area and noticed this on Yelp and decided to give it a try. It has a fun upscale dive bar atmosphere, it feels comfortable and lively all at the same time. There is a small bar near the front with 6 or so seats and the rest of the room is tables. We started with the garlic truffle fries. They were magnificent. Perfectly crispy on the outside and soft potato-ey on the inside. Likely double fried. The aioli was perfect and there was a lovely heap of truffle oil fried garlic piled in one corner of the bowl. We devoured them, I got a salad special of the day. It was arugula with beets, dried cranberries and pumpkin seeds with a house vinaigrette. I added shrimp to the salad. It was delicious. The shrimp were soft and cooked perfectly. The mellow flavor of the baby arugula made me think it was locally grown vs store bought. My DD got the avocado turkey club on ciabatta and more of those perfectly cooked fries. She loved it. The service was extra friendly. Our server was a lovely, sweet woman who got everything to us in a timely manner and offers us to go cup drinks. She kept the glasses appropriately refilled. Can't say enough good things about this place. It's a true gem in Marion. read more

This spot was an easy and casual lunch spot. I had heard that service speed can be hit or miss, but really wanted to try it out because of the name. The service was speedy and they were able to remove the bacon on the Mac and cheese sandwich for me. I think as a pub lunch it was more or less what I expected and fine, but my colleague's eggs were overcooked and rubbery in his salad. The server kept our drinks super full though, so that was nice. Overall seems like a nice spot for a quick meal or a pint. read more

On an unexpected trip, we happened by this little town, Marion, VA and the Wooden Pickle. The town was having a chili cookoff event and had closed down the street. This meant The WP had a limited menu .. and OOH BOY ... if that was limited, I will definitely come back for the full menu! The Crab Fritters, Crabby Patty, fries, and peanut butter pie were excellent! The wait staff were super friendly. The restaurant was adorable. Everything was clean and well worth the side trip read more

We found the Wooden Pickle in a road trip along interstate 81. Needing a break from fast food, we arrived about 8 o'clock for dinner. The friendly wait staff took good care of us, and the food was delicious. We had the crab dippers (six fritters to an order) the Philly cheesesteak and a caesar salad. Delicious. Restaurants like this in older, rural towns are well worth supporting. Now that we know about it, I'm sure we'll be back. read more

I just finished a 4 day visit to Marion, and WP was the only restaurant that I enjoyed. I ate a dinner and a lunch there and both were excellent. I was disappointed overall in the Marion food options, but WP shone through with excellent choices, atmosphere, service, and prep. I won't go on about the other places I ate, but someone needs to send them photos of what food looks like. WP, I look forward to my next visit with you! read more

Ate here for dinner about 4 month ago. Thought the food was alright for downtown Marion, which had very little for years. Drinking crowd . Food was nothing special. Not sure If it was real or facsimile. Dark in dinning area. Service ok. Not dark enough to not see the roach running up the wall at our table next to the kitchen area. Had to stop eating, left and never been back, read more

When we travel we try to eat at least one meal a day in a local restaurant. Today we were traveling through Marion Va and stopped in at The Wooden Pickle, I had the Uber Cheeseburger and the wife had the BLT Panini both of the meals were very delicious. Service was good. The Ambiance was very nice. read more

Small place with a big atmosphere. Patio lights span the ceiling and the brick wall on the right has your thinking you're on a patio or in a courtyard. They had tables fenced off on Main Street for a little chili festival the day of our visit. We decided to sit at the bar (we haven't been able to for SO long!). Just before we sat, we ran into Mike, a co-owner and asked him about the chalkboard special of "Mike's Damn Good Chili" and we asked him about the heat and consistency. He gave us details (fresh local beef, beans, veggies, etc.") and finished with, "you know, it's okay..." lol. We ordered the pickle fries appetizer... thin slivers if fresh pickle lightly battered and fried, served with ranch dipping sauce. While the flavor was good, we found the "fries" to not be crispy enough. A few more minutes in the dryer would have made these perfect!! My husband went for the chili and raved about how fresh it tasted and how many veggies were packed into it. He ordered a dollop of sour cream and a large cube of cornbread (both complimentary!!). It was a STEAL at only $5 for a bowl. I went for the fish tacos that were recommended by a festival booth staffer a block or so from the restaurant. I've had fish tacos up and down the East Coast but these truly were the BEST I've ever had. Each taco was "street size"; The trio came with well seasoned, lightly pan-seared mahi, topped with crispy cabbage slaw and an aioli that was a tad spicy but a perfect compliment. Two lime wedges served as a garnish but I put them (& another wedge I ordered) to work, splashing each taco with the fresh citrus juice. No sides came with the tacos and it's a good thing because I had no room! This is a locally owned and operated, laid back and easy going place. Locals frequented the establishment as evidenced by the friendly greetings by staff and fellow patrons, many of which whose drink order was remembered. If we lived in Marion, I'm CERTAIN I'd be one of them known by name!! If you're even NEAR Marion, you owe it to yourself to stop here, belly up to the bar or kick back under the lights and enjoy some fresh food with friends! read more

It was ok... we both ordered the mahi tacos which was the reason we picked this spot. However, given all the other GF options, we were surprised they only had flour tortillas. If you make them on corn, then everyone can enjoy. I ordered the Caesar salad which was way over dressed and almost inedible. They served a healthy portion of Brussel sprouts which were also tasty. It wasn't terrible but I'd try one of the other food options next time read more

Delicious food, friendly staff, nice menu choices. Been thru Marion a lot, but neve stopped in. So glad we did. We'll be back.

Here we are in a southwestern Virginia small town, Marion, and we arrive late and pick the place because of the name, Wooden Pickle, because it's late. It didn't matter to them, first class service and first class food! We did not expect delectable crab balls or crab puffs. Just WOW! Then I ordered the chili-rubbed Mahi tacos; six yums! Linda ordered the Mediterranean Flatbread, a real delish dish! The service by Ivy was exceptional. I aske Cody if he was a chef and he replied, "Kitchen Manager." Well in my noteworthy book, Cody is a CHEF, magne cum laude! It was a very comfortable restaurant that if we had not been so late, I could have enjoyed for hours. The owners Chris and Mike have created an exceptional local dining experience and we applaud them loudly! read more

Great restaurant! Be sure to visit on weekends for special dinner menu items--every week, they offer something new to try. If you're ordering online, please call ahead to inquire about the seasonal vegetables, soup of the day, and cheesecakes. The service is amazing. For all my picky eaters and creative minds out there, if something isn't on the menu but they have the supplies, they won't hesitate to create a dish you'll enjoy. The top-shelf bourbon selection is excellent, and you even have the chance to try one of the owner's--Chris's--own personal spirits, which he crafts at his local distillery just five minutes away. read more

Stayed across the street for few days so I frequented here 3 times in as many day. The workers were freindly, beer was cold and the burgers were good. Place was clean..only issue I had was went to there on Saturday night and they were closed which I found odd ....would return if in area read more

The service is what makes this place great! No matter how busy they got, the service still kept smiling and maintaining a pleasant attitude. We enjoyed the burger most of all. So much there isn't a picture. If you like spice, get the Mac and cheese. Flatbread was a little bland, and the sandwiches and salads were spot on! Would definitely visit again if in the area. We were just passing through. read more

Found this place in Marion, Va yesterday evening and we could not have been more pleased. The food and service were amazing and we would highly recommend. Lindsay was our server and she was an absolute gem. We had the Wooden pickle fries & Crab dippers to start, followed by the Farm burger for my husband, the bacon was so good & the burger was cooked to medium rare perfection he said and I had the Carnitas street tacos which were fabulous. Although we were full the food was so good we had to try dessert so we shared a piece of Butterscotch pie and it was amazing!!! We will definitely be return customers! read more

The place is small and hard to find along the Main Street. We walked in and the bartender greeted us and was friendly. We told her we wanted take out because we had our pet with us and there is no outside seating. She recommended the burger and the mahi tacos. We went with that. While waiting I used the bathroom. This place needs to be scrubbed from top to bottom the floor is just greasy! filthy dirty place.the bathroom disgusting - I do not understand how a place can get this grimy and no one notices? It's a FOOD place. Actually I questioned whether or not I even wanted to eat the food. Anyway we paid and left and the food was just ok. the tacos have way too much Crema and the mahi was shredded like canned tuna... just weird all around.... They need to give that place an overall cleaning from top to bottom. read more

The server was quite nice and very attentive. However, "someone grabbed" the dinner entree she ordered for one of our party of six, and they weren't served the replacement meal for 20 minutes. Some of the sides we ordered never came, and our to-go desserts were put in mislabeled styrofoam boxes, so we all went home with the wrong food. Best advice: Don't order the "ultimate grilled cheese sandwich." What I was served was mac and cheese (expected) on un-grilled, half soggy white bread (wtf). Seriously, the bread was not browned or apparently "grilled" at all. It was a soggy, congealed mess, genuinely disgusting and nearly inedible. It's a cute place, but I would not recommend it until they get the kitchen in order. read more

Don't forget to save something for Mr. Pickles! He is the handsome tabby that sits outside singing for his supper. I had the mahi mahi tacos and hubby had the confused mac and cheese. Portion sizes are perfect and the food was amazing. Everyone was friendly and welcoming. The unisex bathrooms could use some updating but they had hot water, soap and they were clean. We shared a piece of Swiss chocolate cake for desert. It did not disappoint! We will probably never eat here again because we are just passing through but it is truly a gem that the locals are very proud of. read more

Have been three times now and it hasn't disappointed. Both the service and the food have been excellent.

In town for the Ronda Vincent show at the Lincoln Theater....we eat here every time and found this time to be as good as anytime before. They were slammed but managed to seat us upstairs. Very accommodating. Food and drinks great as well. read more

We were tired, we were hungry, it was late, and they were awesome. We had the WP Burger and the Grouper Basket that was on special.
