After hearing nothing but good things we decided to give it a try. When we got inside we waited, when a server came to us she said “I can’t sit you I’m by myself everyone called in” then continued on her way. Will not go back, unprofessional to say the least, why have your door open and open sign on if you’re not willing to seat anyone? Went across the street to Overtime, the server was also alone and was MORE than willing to seat our family and serve us, and to be honest it was the best service we’ve had in a while. Goes to show how if you wanted to serve paying customers coming in you would, maybe take a lesson out of your competitors book. Very disappointing to say the least.
My husband and I came here since we heard there are lots of gluten free options and he has Celiac. The food tasted very good you would hardly be able to tell it was all gluten free, the portion sizes were so much bigger than expected. Service was great, our waiter was very friendly and attentive. A huge portion of the menu was gluten free, they offer gluten free hamburger buns, gravy, the crispy chicken was also gluten free. We got the Crispy Chicken poutine which was 16.70$ and the Boss Hog burger (with a side) which was 17.20$, for it being gluten free and a big portion size this is a really good price for someone looking for gluten free food.
The food is always good. This is the reason for my going back. Atmosphere is great, there is always some kind of sport on if that's what you like. Staff is always courteous and respectful of the customers. But I want to remind the staff just when you think no one is watching, there is always someone that has seen what you may of done just because you didn't like what was said or done. I've been there it's because of you that the public enjoy going to Pickled Pig.
The Cowboy Poutines were super good. The steak was real tender and juicy. The 40 creek sauce swirled with Gravy adds another touch, it was sweet and tangy. Very good to our palate. Can't wait to try the gator bites and the wings & ribs! The daily specials really helps us keep within our budgets too, thank you for that. 🥰
Delicious food, quick service, and friendly staff. Came here for dinner with family and was not disappointed. The server made great recommendations and was super personable. The atmosphere was great, and I love the little signs throughout the restaurant. Reasonably priced and fresh food. My mom has dietary restrictions, so it was nice to see a menu that accommodates this. They offer many gluten-free and vegitarian options. I would highly recommend the pickled pig!
We tried The Pickled Pig for the first time on Saturday. Our food was delicious and our server was super friendly! I was not a fan of the walls they put up to separate the booths, I found they were too high and made us feel caged. The music was too loud for a place with such high ceilings. I would recommend this place and will most likely return.
The hostess greeted us promptly when arriving, we waited almost 10 minutes for our server to come get our drink order but she never came, the hostess came back to take our drink order. We had the Pig Skins potato skins for an app which was tasty, my wife ordered chicken carbonara and asked for no mushrooms but got mushrooms and was too salty, I order the Big Texan burger which was tasty and had a side of fries which had some sort of house seasoning which was far too salty. I do have to say I was happy to see Craft beer on their menu
Food: Big portions, lots of interesting options on the menu. The food was overall decent . For an appetizer we had the pickled dip with tortillas. It had good flavor.4/5 I had the Loaded Cappelletti. It was really interesting ! It had sausage, red peppers, spinach, bacon ,sauce and extra cheese. It had a smokey flavor.4/5 We also had the Boss Hog Burger. It had double bacon, pulled pork and extra cheese . The cook forgot to put the pulled pork on the burger, and the burger was charred.3\5 The fries were excellent and so was the gravy! Environment/atmosphere: I really enjoy the concept of the pickled pig. Even their menu choices reflect the name . Potato skins"piggy skins". It's a neat concept. It would be really interesting to see some different types of funny pig type art on the wall. Just a thought. 4/5 Service : The service was excellent! The waitress was on point, came back to check on us multiple times. She was very knowledgeable about the menu. When we told her that the burger was missing pulled pork she got it right away. I asked her for parmesan and she brought me out fresh parm for my meal.5/5 I would definitely return! Lots of interesting things to try.
Finally a great place with a good beer and food selection. Dietary restrictions: Some gluten free options Food : 5/5 |
We dined in almost a month ago. Amazing service. Wheelchair accessibility: It was super accessible. Food : 5/5 |
Amazing service, great selection. Most things in the menu are great Just stay away from the chicken wings as they re undercooked and smell off.
Great restaurant. My first time there and would definitely go again. A lot to choose from the menu.
Nice friendly place with good food. I certainly plan to go back.
Table of 4 and none of us were happy with our food. No one finished their meal. The pizzas we ordered tasted horrible. Were pretty sure they were frozen store bought. Not a place I would recommend for food.
Come here often, great food and fast service
Our server was fantastic, quick service and the food was fantastic!
Large variety of beers for the beer lover. Food is good size portions. Specials every day. Prices is very good.
To much to complain about......will not go back there
Delicious food, kind service and warm environment. Definitely recommend:)
Served 1hr 1min after ordering, 3 of 5 meals were way overcooked (if the wait wasnt so long, it probably would have been cooked perfectly) manager appeared drunk and frazzled, snappy because two people raised a hand when bringing meals to the table, they offered to remake the three meals but we didnt have another hour to wait. They apologized and blamed it on being short staffed but Ive heard similar complaints when they first opened. I thought, theyve been open over a year, Ill give them a chance because I like to form my own opinion...I will never go back
Loved this place. What an amazing discovery. Had a Nashville chicken burger and poutine- really good! I will be back.
Just another pub grub place - nothing worth travelling to or recommending to friends. The 4.1 rating is way overrated compared to some places in Sudbury.
Our sever was not very attentive, he continuously scoffed at us and was abrupt, leaving mid conversation and appearing to not be fully invested in our meal, and made us super uncomfortable. I ve had other servers that made the experience worth trying again, would only recommend going if your server isn t Jay as he appears to his interests in mind.
Dont know didnt get to try it were there half hr all we got was our pop was told be right back to take our order then we watched the waitress take another order which was fine they were there b4 us but then watched her clean a table then seat someone and take their order b4 ours along with another 1 so we just got up and left so not sure how the food is and if Ill go back time will tell I guess
Ohh. My how do I describe the food creations. Delicious and plentiful. Please try this out. Dietary restrictions: The most options for celiac Ive ever seen . Many gluten free options.
Celebrated my Sons 36 th Birthday there on Aug 18 th 2024, could not have asked for better service 5 star restaurant food and servers are amazing. Highly recommend. And they also have gluten free menu.
We ordered a poutine and clubhouse. Clubhouse had frozen chicken strips not a real chicken breast. Gravy was not homemade. Was box gravy. Tried this place out for the first time and nothing looks homemade. Its to bad. 60 bucks for 2 people. We did not eat our food it was awful and not refund. We paid full price. Never again. Save you money and go to overtime at least they serve real chicken. They should be ashamed of themselves for serving frozen garbage and charging premium prices. Never will I go there again. Just subpar food. Go to mcdonalds instead.
Couldn t be happier with Pickled Pig Kitchen & Bar. Friendly staff, fast service, HUGE portions and DELICIOUS food! Our favourite part is that the variety of choices on the menu is so different from everywhere else in the Valley area. We will 100% be back for more very soon!
Super mid. Food isnt bad but it isnt good either. Wouldnt eat here again as theres other places that are better. Also super dead we were the only ones in the restaurant.
My favorite place to enjoy a craft beer and good food.
Greeted at the door by a man with frantic condescension, every high chair was disgusting and full of food and didn t have adjustable straps, table had old dried spaghetti noodles , ceasar salad was flaccid with soggy croutons, Nashville chicken sandwich was basically drenched in franks red hot, couldn t taste anything not even the chicken, our server was so sweet but we won t be returning
Food was good.
Our server Brandi was amazing! me and my friends were treated so well, super attentive and very kind, and food was great! We will be returning!
Wide variety of beer Patio was nice with umbrellas for shade, faces a busy intersection, and I personally enjoyed watching the cars and bikes while having lunch.
Great staff, always kind. Very good food. Great beer.
Food was really good, great variety to choose from. Our server Nathan was great. Will definitely be returning!
Food was delicious! Fabulous service! I m in love with the lobster wontons and the Brisket! Will definitely go again!
Kid-friendliness: Piglet menu! Food
Ordered fish dinner and it was amazing! Fried pickles with dipping sauce was delicious portion were great! Will definitely be back!
Excellent service. Attentive but not crowding. Food is always great. Lots of delicious draft choices. Great spot to stop at.
The food was mediocre. I ordered the Beyond Meat patty, but it was either another brand of veggie burger or it was terribly overcooked.
If you haven t tried this place yet , it s a must! Pickled Pig Poutine is just mouthwatering good. Ah man I m craving another one just writing this review!!!! Gotta try it!!!!!
Went there for a quiet birthday celebration with my wife and son. Found out the chef is an old friend. We love this restaurant. Any poutine is phenomenal and we absolutely love the onion rings. I had a Pickle Boss burger with all the fixings and it was sooo yummy. Was so excited to eat I forgot to take a picture of my plate. If I had another thumb, this establishment would be a 3 thumbs up!!!
The best restaurant in the valley. Great food, good service, and very clean.
Wings were so overcooked we couldn t chew them. When we let the server know, the entire serving crew gave us dirty looks for the rest of the night and we were charged for the replacement food.
DELICIOUS!!!!!! Highly recommended. Food : 5/5
Awesome place Great food Food
I recommend the gator bites not what I was expecting would get again and the poutine fresh Frys great gravy and the cheese Soo good
My favorite place to eat in the Valley!!
Couldnt talk on the food because we never got to go in to eat... we did however call at 9:02pm on jan 13th to ask if they were open but was met with hesitation and then told they were closed... I then drive by about 10mins later and see the open sign still lit up and their sign saying open till 10...
Great food and service
Fantastic food and service! Will definitely be back!
We were here for dinner last night and it was amazing we have only been up here for 14 months now and have to say its the 3rd time weve gone out to eat and been 98% happy with everything the food was amazing the service was great the menu was full of options the only thing is we will have to see if its something that will continue to always be great we have found a lot of the restaurants up here are really a hit and miss..... so really hoping this one stays great
Great food, I love the pickled pig poutine!! Nice portion for the price! Will be coming back again. Dietary restrictions: Gluten free option
Awesome food at a reasonable price!
Third time attending this restaurant and it has gotten worse each time. My husband ordered chicken parmesan and the piece of chicken was very small and full of breading with very little chicken when you got to the middle. Was looking forward to a good restaurant in the valley but unfortunately I think that will be our last time at pickled pig!
Don t waste your money. My sandwich came so burned. The brisket inside had no taste or sauce on it. I just ate some fries . The guy said the best he could do is take 25% off . When the meal should have been taken off completely. Never again
Great food and service
I liked my pulled pork sandwich, My wife was not happy with her burger, seemed like it was from a box from a local grocery store? Food
Food was delicious, great menu selection and friendly staff.
First time ordering Received entirely wrong meal (ate it regardless - hungry) Second time ordering 2lbs of wings Most poundage was donated to the flavour dust located in one area (not on wings) Also had a mystery piece of meat/breading? Staff was nice - which saved the one star
Food variety is amazing, so many flavors you would never think of doing at home. Extremely friendly staff. Ive loved every weekly visit to my new favorite place to chill with friends and family
Great prices and good food.
Large selection with different food experiences.
Wow, delicious, great and will so be going back. Absolutely delicious. Prices as expected, food and service were great. Loads of flavors, menu stacked with goodies to try. Highly recommend!
Server Jay was fantastic Food was great, and big portions. Food
Best breakfast around hands down!
Food was good, now I know I can ask for additions on the nachos. The pickled grilled cheese was good. Great place if you like pickle flavour. Great selection of draft beers, amazing wait staff!!! Explained menu and specials very well. Great atmosphere although can be a little noisy when busy. All in all a great LOCAL restaurant!!!!! Will absolutely eat here again and support this local establishment!!!!!!
We will be back...prices were good for the food we got!!
They hade great service! The food was fantastic! Its really clean and they always make sure you have everything you need! So I give them a 5
I found the name interesting so I stopped in. It was a truly good experience. Food was exeptional and priced resonably.
Food was very good. Server was great. Had the Saturday special 1/2 rack of ribs, 5 wings and a poutine, big portions, very good price. Definitely will be back. Music wasn t really consistent throughout the restaurant, so it felt like music was blasting by a stereo at the bar, and super loud if sitting at the bar. But other than that it was very good.
I visited with my family for lunch and we really enjoyed ourselves. The food was delicious and our server was very friendly. We cant wait to come back again.
Dont waste your money. Tortellini soup had no Tortellini in it. Fish and wings were over cooked. Soup and kettle chips were cold.
Was there for breakfast today. Prices are excellent and the quality of the food was fantastic. Server was spot on.
Great selection of beer on tap! Service was great and the food was delicious!
Over all bad experience. Terrible service, hard to get a refill (not booze but just water or pop) not alot of people there tonight but service was incredibly slow. Got a burger that was lackluster and an ice cold poutine 100% would not recommend
We have been there 3 or 4 times. The a/c wasnt on, it must have been 95 degrees, so hot! The music is always too loud. You cant talk! We are big fans of the onion rings but last night they were soggy and greasy.we ordered the meatballs melt. Meatballs were dry and overcooked and did not taste like meatballs, very gross. There was pasta with the meatballs but they were cold and Ive had much better pasta. Overall, we were looking forward to going out for dinner but leaving the restaurant, we both agreed that we would never go back to the Pickled Pig in Val Caron.
Poutines here are great. Tried two different ones. Had the steak sandwich, it was terrible, didnt look anything like steak and between the two of us we couldnt finish it, something was just off! Cant speak to anything else, try it again.. not sure!
Cold poutine not so good
The food is always delicious and the prices are fair. But, the menu changes often, so dont expect your favorite to stay your favorite forever.
My wife and I have gone a few times now and we really enjoy their poutines. They are massive and amazingly flavorful. We both love the Dirty Chicken. We will continue going!
Went for Mothers Day, and had a great time! Food was great, service awesome. Prices reasonable.
Food was really good and the price was right.
Amazing food, prices and our server Rachel was great!!! Definitely coming back!!
Don t order the pickled pig poutine unless you d like to be on the toilet all the next day
Food was amazing and service was great. The best of all the valley easy restaurants for sure
Wings were really good. Lots of meat.
just went for the first time. Food was only so-so, hamburger bun was a little stale and the hamburger patty was very dry. Prices were great and large servings. The fries and poutine were great. Service was very friendly but slow (we went before the supper hour rush)
Hubby and I went out for date night. Atmosphere was great, place is clean, music is great, decor rocks. We ordered the fish and chips and calamari, fish wasnt amazing but weve had worse, fries were good, gravy was a little different but tasty. Calamari was good and not over cooked soft and tasted fresh. It was an appetizer. Had the moose head on tap delish. The staff was friendly. Overall experience was good and we will go back again.
Hidden valley gem a must try. A little something different . Greeted promptly and friendly when we arrived. Service was fast friendly and unobtrusive. The food was hot tasty and generous portions left feeling like I could not eat another bite. Burger and poutine menu supporting hospite is full of selection you have never had before.All and all a wonderful experience
Amazing atmosphere. Great serving staff. HIGHLY RECOMMEND.
Love the dill pouting and hamburger.
Ordered take out and was impressed by the super quick service. Food was hot, fresh and really good!
Our server was so very amicable and welcoming. The food was delicious . I had the pleasure of having the Seasfood Cabanera... I highly recommend. Not only was I dancing in my chair, my tastebuds were dancing too.
Val Caon takes notice of this amazing place to eat and enjoy a nice drink. The menu had so many Gluten free options, I found it hard to make a decision. I wanted them all. We were a party of 4. Everyone found something great on the menu. Service was so quick. Staff amazing, and the place us just a fun place to be. Dietary restrictions: Lots of Gluten-free and Vegan options.
The fries were all stuck together. The meal was hardly ok wont go back. Food
Great food with really good service. Their selection on tap always has something for everyone. Dietary restrictions: Lots of gluten-free options.
I had the seafood carbonara if you can believe it and it was fantastic. Lose one star on atmosphere because the musics too loud but then again Im old.
Ate here before reading reviews to give it a chance. I do this often and boy do I regret it every time. Ordered a Pickled Bomb burger, one of those sloppy cant fit in your mouth deals. Tasted great but just too much going on. Ordered poutine side, cheese curds unmelted or not covered in gravy and the gravy tasted like it was made of 90% salt. Got a dirty ceasar, came with a lemon wedge the size of my head, a rotten pickle, some decent olives and a off tasting spicy pickled bean. Rumors of the music being too loud 100% true I feel like they dont have speakers in the back for the kitchen staff so they just blast it. Absolutely annoying, and I blare death metal and rap on a daily basis. If I was John Taffer id tell em to downsize their menu and if I was Gordan Ramsay id tell them to focus on ingredients. Sadly im neither and will not be telling them anything ever again. Hard Pass, just go to the keg, theyll comp you for an untouched or bad poutine unlike this place. (took two bites couldnt eat it mentioned it to the waitress charged full price... nice.)
Good servings at a reasonable price been there several times havnt been dissapointed
The deep fried pickle wrap is my favourite
Everything was good about the sports bar & grill except for the pizza. My son wanted a plain pepperoni pizza but they dont have any pepperoni in house, weird but ok, so we settled for just a cheese pizza. The cheese pizza was mostly cheddar...fine...but there was no sauce on the pizza. So it was just cheese bread. How do you not put sauce on a pizza, hmmmpf. In response to the owner of the restaurant: if youre not going to put any kind of sauce on your pizza, perhaps the server could mention that next time when the order is placed so as to not disappoint.
Great liver and onions
My family and I showed up there on Sunday for my birthday and they had a sign on the door that said closed for the day if youre planning on changing hours of operation you should post it on your website Very disappointing we had to find a restaurant at the last minute
Best seafood Carrara I have ever tasted will be back
A smaller but cozy kind of sportsbar. Great daily special... I loved the ribs and wings special with poutine for 20$. The place had a lot of energy, perhaps a little loud for me. But will definitely return.
First meal was a hit. Large portions and lots of flavour. Menu is huge also and oh ya lots of tap beers.
Food is very flavorful. Portions are generous and the menu selection is perfect, even for the fussy ones.
Great food and service. The cinnamon bun cheesecake was very good. The burger was big and messy which made it all the better
Huge menu selection, great service. Unfortunately our food was very cold but so was my beer so it went down easier
Dietary restrictions: Lots of gluten free options! Food
Loved the variety on the menu. Everything we ordered was delicious and flavorful. We will be back!
Went lastnight woth my family. Had the cheese dip and cheese balls. They were terrible. Rest of food was nothing special. Beer was good . Too bad it had potential.
Ordered the meat sampler platter. The brisket was a whole piece of fat. Ribs were dry and cold. Pulled pork was delicious however. They comped part of our meal because of the issues. I don t recommend.
AMAZING food! Huge portions, great service! Highly recommend the Mac and cheese!
The salmon unfortunately was dry but the chicken parmesan, the liver, the burger and the seafood carbonera were very tasteful. The portions were also generous.
Terrible service , slow ,,,, slow and not interested, both waitresses on cell phones continually. Food .. pork was very dry. I guess a good place if you want a beer !
Being somebody with Celiac, I was very impressed with their selection of gluten free foods and other options for dietary restrictions. Excellent food and service, definitely one of my favourites! Dietary restrictions: Gluten free and Dairy free options,
Hickory bacon burger was great! Ordered the louisina nacho they tasted great but only down fall on it was there was barely any topping, basically just chips, would definitely order it again but with way more toppings
I have been there and eaten at the restaurant and had take out as well. the service was speedy and the food was good each time the menu is big and not over priced either I would go as far as saying its the best place in val caron to eat.
