Reviews for Pickle Barrel in Pickering, ON
Came here for dinner and started with some calamari, wasnt bad but not the best I've had. Could use a bit more spice as it... didn't taste like much. For my main dish I ordered their Hot Alberta Beef sandwich with fries. It had a good portion of beefwith gravy all over. Very good and very filling. Highly recommend this. Overall the service was fast and friendly. Great placeto go gor lunch or dinner. Read more
I visited Pickering location this Thursday. I will rate 3 start for my experience. Food was great, servings were good size and... price are reasonable. However drinks are worst than any restaurant,I have ever visited. We ordered classic red wine sangria andblackberry & basil whisky smash. Both of the drinks were sweet as hell. It felt like I am driking straight sugar syrup. When wetold server that drinks are extremely sweet, she smiled, nodded and walked away. Thereafter just to refresh our taste and enjoygreat food, we ordered a Corona Beer. Thinking nothing can go wrong with beer. Guess what, lime on the top of bottle was rotten.Like it was lying there for last 7 nights. In short, Go for food, stay away from drinks at this location. Read more
I was into the Pickering location with some friends on May 18/22 for lunch & had the Fiesta Bowl with Shrimp. Description says... it was supposed to have Chipotle sauce & cheeses & I gotta say although it was pretty good, I certainly didn't taste anychipotle & I didn't see or taste very much of the cheese.

6 people went for the dinner around 7.30 pm. All dishes were good not the best. I am giving 2 star only because our server did... not pay any attention to us after dinner was served at all, not to ask even for drink refills. Place was virtually empty and notthat he was busy serving others. He disappeared for long and when he came with bill, he stink with strong smoking smell makingus very uncomfortable. We will not go back again. Read more
Decided to have date night with the hubs at the Pickle Barrel Pickering location. Service in the beginning was slow but... improved towards the end. We ordered the Thai cauliflower bites and French onion soup to start. The Thai bites were good andhubs said they got the French Onion Soup just right. ???????? For our main, I ordered the miso salmon which was great! Tasty,large portion. I definitely overate. Couldn?t even do dessert ???? Hubs ordered the pesto pasta, which he enjoyed. Place wasclean, a tad on the cool side tho which made it uncomfortable (for me). Also didn?t care for the booth seating, which felt low,but didn?t realize that until we were seated ???? Would we go back? Probably but not our first choice. Read more
This was my first time back post pandemic for dine in and absolutely loved the experience. We ordered crispy calamari, the... lobster linguine and fish and chips. The food was excellent and absolutely loved it. The linguine in particular was so good. Thefriendly staff served a nice chilled sapporo to go with this. The only complaint is the portion size of the calamari was alittle less for the price. But overall a lovely experience! Highly recommend. Read more
Dined here in June 2021. This was my first time here and I must say the patio was way nicer than I thought. A lot of greenery... and nice lights. I dined with 2 other friends. Our server was amazing although they did bring the wrong entree to the table some and my other friend had pretty much finished our meal by the time her main came out. We ordered the cauliflower bites,chicken bites, chicken wings, fries, Mexican bowl, the king pao bowl and deep fried pickles. The apps were small in portionsize and the chicken bites were a little too salty. Took a while for someone to initially greet us and also there were timeswhere we weren?t checked up on. 100% not a complainer or high maintenance- just someone who is big on customer service. I willbe back for sure though! Read more
A group of six of us visited on this occasion. The staff were very friendly and helpful during our visit. The place had lots of... customers but still lots of space for more. It was very clean and washrooms were well maintained and even have automatic taps,soap and dryers. The five different Minu items we purchased was excellent, hot and tasty. We had no situations during our visit. Read more
