The Pickle Barrel restaurant is a cozy and inviting spot with a really friendly atmosphere. The staff were so nice and attentive, making the dining experience enjoyable. The food is always delicious, and the portions are generous!
Eugene has been our server for over 15 years as we come every week and always ask to be in his section. He knows all our names, what we like to eat and drink and is a true gentleman. Simply the best ever! Personable, attentive, always makes sure we have a good time. Without any doubt we are always happy to see him. I wish all servers were this perfect! Give him a big raise or make him manager but only if he can still be our server!
Pickle barrel has something for everyone. Their menu is inclusive with a variety of items to choose from. I’m confident that you will find something that your taste buds will enjoy. Not to mention the interior design and outside view are quite pleasant.
I had a great experience at Pickle Barrel! The food was excellent, with a wide range of options that were both flavorful and well-prepared. The portions were generous, and everything tasted fresh. The service was also top-notch—friendly and attentive without being overbearing. Overall, a great spot for anyone looking for a satisfying meal and good service. Highly recommended!
Our waiter Eugene stood out as the best I’ve ever seen in a restaurant, hands down. He was on top of everything. The food didn’t take long to arrive and was delicious. We will be coming back. Highly recommend!
We went there to watch a soccer game. I believe they weren't expecting a crowd night as it was on Wednesday. The number of waitresses wasn't enough, so the service wasn't good, the staff working was working without stop, but couldn't serve on time.
We went there for Sunday dinner and it got busy real quick. Our server Amy was so nice and she never forgot about us even though she was busy attending to other diners. Food was great too! Not our last time for sure.
Our server Eugene provides impeccable service. Always friendly and cheerful. His recommendation is amazing. I will come back to this restaurant for his service and food quality. Thumbs up!
Amy was amazing. She is so kind!
We had a great experience at Pickle Barrel. Amy received us very gently and the food was amazing!

Abba was lovely! He was attentive but not over bearing. We enjoyed our meals and had a great date! Thank you Abba :)
Abba was the best! Took care of and anticipated our needs. 10/10 would recommend
Service was good, and the restaurant is clean and spacious. However, the food is the focus when dining out and although the quality of the food was fine, the portions are laughably small. Twenty bucks for a tiny pastrami sandwich and a few fries doesnt cut it with me. Everyone points the finger at inflation but restaurants like these have been slowly shrinking portions for years in an attempt to squeeze more profit out of the customer. I shouldnt still feel hungry after a full meal, especially when Im not a big guy. Boy, do I miss the old Shopsys deli downtown. EDIT: I see that Recipe Unlimited responded to this review. I didnt know that this was the corporate entity that owns The Pickel Barrel, but now that Ive learned that these are the same people who are behind the decline in quality, portions and price at Swiss Chalet, it all makes sense. Keep driving good restaurants into the ground.
Amy was so kind and helpful! Loved my experience here
It was a wonderful dinner fantastic service
Server Amy was amazing good food and great service.
Great spot!
Abba pays excellent attention to refills!
I asked for a well known cocktail and server didn t understand. Then told me to write it down. I said I can go and ask directly to the bartender. She said she is the one also taking care of the bar and she ll google it and prepare it for me. Unreal! She was a sweet lady tho
The hostess and server were excellent. Thank you!
Things have changed. We used to enjoy eggs Benedict brunch but now at $18.50 with bland hollandaise that tastes like a premix, and tater tots instead of the real potatoes we used to love, its just not worth the money. How disappointing. We will not return.
Great menu with many different options, including vegan/plant based. The service was outstanding - and our server Eugene was the best. He was very attentive, responsive and helpful. It was a great place for our 11 person family lunch.
Love Pickle Barrel. I wish there was a location in Niagara Falls where I live!
Eugene always remembers us when we drop by. He always remembers our orders too and where we like to sit. He is hands down the best!
I love this place, I ve been coming for 20 years. Always consistent with their food. It s not 5 star but I m never disappointed.
Amy was a great server and often checked up on us, making sure we enjoyed our meals. The food was fresh from the kitchen and the butternut squash was the star today. Thank you for a wonderful meal and supporting our Canadian Forces Members on this day of Remembrance.
Amy served my meal on Rememberance Day. It was not very busy due to it being a Monday Night and the restaurant is does not have a lot of staff. Amy is friendly and professional, and she delivered my food promptly which arrived hot and tastes great. I had the fish and chips with soup and a cup of hot tea. I enjoyed my quiet meal. But I hope the restaurant will get more busy on the weekend and with its large wine cellar and large number of seatings, I can see this being an excellent choice for group gatherings and Christmas events!
Server was rude But the pasta was amazing, me and my daughter we go crazy for it And the gluten chocolate cake is good too Kid-friendliness: Has high hair and change room and has kid friendly food
Went out with friends. And had a good time. Good food and good service. Special thanks to joyce and abba.
Great service, good food. They did a great price fixe meal.
Lovely food experience and Eugene did a fine job of waiting on us!
Love this place! Steaks are so delicious Highly recommended Food
Good food and good services
Good food, nice clean place. Friendly staff. I reccomend this place for sure.
Perfect for family and friends
This use to be my favorite place to eat. The last 2 times I visited I was completely disappointed in the horrible guest experience. The place was empty and I stood at the hostess stand waiting for a table for over 20 minutes. The waitress was completely uninterested and even seemed annoyed that she had to do something. I made it easy and left. The sad thing is that this happened twice. They use to be such a vibrant restaurant with superior customer service. My friends and I will never return.
I enjoyed the Creamy Galic Tuscan Salmon & shrimp. So tasty and yummy mouth watering shrimp en fresh.
I recently dined at Pickle Barrel and was blown away by the quality and variety of their food. From the fresh salads to the hearty sandwiches, every dish was bursting with flavor. The ingredients tasted fresh and well-prepared, making each bite a delight. The portions are generous, ensuring great value for your money. If you re a fan of comfort food done right, Pickle Barrel is definitely worth a visit!
The food was good and the crew is very nice
It was a great experienced.
The food is so nice i will come again!
Vegetarian options: The food are good. offers a variety of options that can accommodate different dietary needs, including salads, grilled items, and lighter fare. Dietary restrictions: you can delve into healthier choices, though portion sizes can be generous. Its a good spot for casual dining, but keep an eye on calorie-dense items if youre mindful of your diet. Kid-friendliness: Pickle Barrel is a great spot for families, offering a diverse menu that kids will love. The casual atmosphere makes it easy for little ones to relax, and the portions are generous. Kids can choose from favorites like burgers, pizza, and pasta, and there are plenty of options to please picky eaters. Overall, it s a fun place for a family meal!
Amazing service from our waitress Amy, we had a great night!
Amy was amazing! The best server ever, will definitely be coming back!
I cant express the level of sadness and dissapointment that I experienced upon the realization that the updated menu no longer included Deli Triplets After I said Kaddish for that loss I reluctantly ordered the hot beet sandwich, which, was actually quite good I was pleased that the coleslaw hadnt changed and remains the absolute best in Toronto I jest of course. Best of all, because my server was amazingly awesome (friendly, efficient, professional etc) , I totally forgot about my disappointment and sadness and and was able to move on . Thank you, Evan Kalnitsky
Had the smothered chicken with the globby gravy on the side. It was like rubber chicken. Dry and overcooked Food
thank you Eugene!
The meal was great for dinner with my family. Our waiter, Eugene, was nice and has a great demeanor. Dietary restrictions: I personally have a dairy allergy and our waiter, Eugene, was very helpful with ordering my dinner. I ordered the classic deli sandwich with smoked meat brisket from the Deli Fest event. The kitchen might have had to modify the dish but I did not get any allergy problems after the meal so I commend them.
Had a lovely lovely brunch on a Sunday morning, Leny was a lovely server and brought the energy that made it so fun !
It was my first time at pickle barrel and i m so happy Leny was my server! The food was great, and Leny made the experience a memorable brunch! My friend and I will be coming back :)
Staff were very kind and helpful. We had the back section all to ourselves which was great. Good place for a private reception.
The food and service was excellent! I had the steak, and it was cooked perfectly.
delicious and the place is beautiful!
Very nice
On Aug 27, 2024, my granddaughter and I were at the mall and decided to have a quick lunch at Pickle Barrel at 2300 Yonge Street/ In my dining experience, this is the worst lunch I ever had. I had ordered a fish and chips with one piece of fish and I had ordered from the kids menu a burger with fries. My fish and chips served in a small dish like a side dish. There was no ccoleslaw which is usually served with fish and chips. The fish was awful and tasted like a frozen fish. The portion was small for almost $20. The kids burger and flies looked better than the adult fish and chips. However, my granddaughter did not like her dish, not even the flies. The service was bad. I asked for the bill and the server dropped off the bill but walked away. I had to take my granddaughter to the bar and looked for someone for the machine to pay the bill. The server finally came with the machine. The food is the worst besides the services. I would not eat there again and I would not recommend it to anyone. I wish that I had taken a picture of the orders. Mgmt should pay attention to the food quality. So disappointed.
Everything is good here. Great folks, great service. Thank you for a wonderful time serving us.
