Joey was amaaaazing, she came out with a birthday cake for my friend with a candle so sweet. The lobster benny was delicious and there’s fruits as well and my request of booth was fulfilled. A very positive experience and we will be back.
our waiter was great even though they were really busy. it was quick service and the food was what you'd expect in a chain restaurant. everything we ordered was really good. we went on the black Friday shopping weekend so the parking lot area was pure madness! we only went here for a late lunch early dinner while we were on our way to Winterfest at Canada's wonderland.
Kenny was super friendly. Food fabulous of course. Eggs benny yummy brunch. No photos because we ate it all too quick.
We recently celebrated our high school boy's birthday at Pickle Barrel last weekend and we had a wonderful evening. The food was delicious with a great variety of dishes, all well-prepared and flavorful . The service was attentive and friendly, making the experience even more enjoyable. The staff went out of their way to ensure we had everything we needed. Thanks for Harry and Prabeen's treatments, including open the outdoor patio for us... Dining under the sun, shaded by umbrellas, instantly transports us back to the nostalgic feeling of a summer beach vacation. Overall, it was a fantastic dining experience, and I would highly recommend it!
The decor perfectly balances modern sophistication and elegant comfort, creating an inviting atmosphere. I had the bolognese pasta, which came with a small Caesar salad. The salad was a refreshing start—crisp, cold, and fresh. The pasta that followed was even better, cooked to perfection with a flavorful meat sauce that was rich and satisfying and served hot. Dessert was a true highlight—a cheesecake drizzled with chocolate sauce. It was everything a dessert should be: cold, creamy, and absolutely indulgent. Melissa, the server, added to the experience with her friendly and attentive service. With so many Pickle Barrels closing, it's a relief to find one that still upholds the brand's reputation. This location is undoubtedly one of the best, and I hope it remains a fixture for years.
I want to thank the Pickle Barrel for being so accommodating, we had an amazing day full of good food & atmosphere celebrating our daughter’s baptism. A special thank you and recognition to our servers, Prabeen and Pat for serving all of our guests with great service! Communicated well, with such kindness & speed!
Hii, I wanted to share my experience, so I visited first time this location and this is so convenient because we can go shop in the mall too 😃. Food was so good as expected from pickle barrel , My server Tess served us well . One thing I want to mention about her that she was so fast and nice . overall we had a good time . Loved food and atmosphere. Want to visit soon .
The Mac and cheese poppers were nice and hot but it was not for me. I got the grilled cheese from the kid’s menu (don’t judge, the kid’s menu are always the best). The other person with me got a buffalo chicken burger (can’t remember the exact name) but it was good. The drinks were good.
Kenny was our server and he attended to us very well.
Our dining experience was enhanced by our waiter, Adam, whose professionalism and attentiveness were noteworthy. He was knowledgeable about the menu, provided excellent recommendations, and ensured that our needs were met promptly and courteously. we enjoyed a delightful dining experience that exceeded our expectations. We began with the mac and cheese poppers, which were crispy on the outside and filled with creamy, cheesy goodness a comforting start to our meal. To accompany our appetizers, we chose the sangria. The sangria was refreshing and well-balanced, complementing the richness of the poppers perfectly. For our entrées, we selected the fish and chips and a pasta dish. The fish was lightly battered and fried to perfection, with tender, flaky meat inside, and the accompanying chips were golden and crisp. The pasta was cooked al dente and tossed in a flavourful sauce. We look forward to returning to Pickle Barrel at Vaughan Mills.

Great restaurant

We arrived in a group of 20 on a Saturday night without a reservation and the staff (Avery, Prabeen and others) did a great job getting us set up for an enjoyable evening.
Kenny was amazing!
Karen was amazing!! Thank you for a great lunch.
Excellent service from Kenny, it is a pleasure to be treated with kindness and good service
Kenny is the best server
Jenna s service was great. Need more people like her. Amazing customer service.
Karen was our server and went above and beyond for me and my mom today. We were celebrating my moms bday and she made it very special for her.
Went in for a dinner with my family after a day out and was greeted and sat immediately by a nice young man, very pleasant and kind. Was served by a nice young woman who was the same, very personable and great with checking in on us (Jenna I believe was her name) everything was excellent right up until the food came out, we had starters that were tasty, fried pickles and nachos. Yum. Unfortunately it all turned around on me after the mains came out, I had ordered the fish and chips, and the fries were fine but you could build a house out of the fish, fried until the breading shattered, not flaky or tasty, just a luke warm brick of batter with a puddle of oil that would make Jed clampett tear up. I also indulged in a bowl of French onion soup which came out so different than the picture I was 99% I was being catfished. The picture advertised a nice oven baked bowl with cheese and croutons golden from toasting. This is not what I received. What was given to me was a side salad bowl filled with broth that was run under a hair dryer for 5 minutes to warm with croutons that were so soggy from being left in the bowl for what can only be assumed as a fortnight, that they disintegrated upon attempts to surgically get a bite of them. The cheese was very obviously shredded as it had not yet completely melted and basically snitched on itself as not being anywhere close to hot with limp strings floating in the bowl begging to be put out of their misery. I tried and I failed as upon my first bite the salt content of the soup required it to be served with a saline drip. It actually parched my tongue it was so salty. The server was terrific having returned the soup back to the kitchen from whence it came and struck it from the bill. She apologized profusely even though she had no personal hand in the tepid bowl of liquid sadness that I was presented with. The kitchen really let down the front of house as it was gorgeous inside and the service was phenomenal but you can t run an f1 car if the wheels keep falling off, it s really too bad as before the mains arrived, the rating was much higher. So in consequence of that I want it reflected that you may get a great meal or you may become confused at the dysphoric plate of panic placed in front of you, either way the place was clean and the service was awesome if only the kitchen took the customer experience as seriously as it should be taken.
Jenna H was a phenomenal worker. She always dropped into our meal asking if we and our meals were alright. She was very attentive to our needs every step of the way. Warmest thanks for your kind service, it enhanced our little celebration that night! All the Best!!
We had a great experience st pickle barrel
Its great when they don t mind splitting the meal!! Parking: Location-easy acces Food : 5/5 |
Great service, our server Kenney is great!!! Large portions. Will be back.
Kenny was fantastic.
Prabeen gave us amazing service! We will definitely be back for the great service and food, highly recommend!
The experience was fantastic! Started with the deep-fried pickles, which were delicious, followed by the mushroom steak as my main course. The highlight, though, was the exceptional service from Prabeen. He was incredibly attentive and made sure everything was perfect. A truly memorable meal with top-notch service!
Just had a classic burger which was cooked to perfection.
Excellent service from our server, Adam! Hot and delicious food. Quickly seated on a busy Saturday night. We enjoyed our experience! Vegetarian options: Delicious Buddha Bowl
We had called at least a week or two prior to coming to book reservations for 10 at that time. And called the day before to increase the sitting to 12 plus a high chair for a baby. When we arrived at 11:55am the table was not set up or ready for us. Once the table was ready the access to sit was only one side as the tables were pushed up against a wall (not sure how anyone is supposed to get in and out) - the kids ended up crawling under the table to get out. There was no high chair, when one was brought over the buckle was broken, the next one brought over had a missing strap, the third one was good. I understand we were a large group (ended up with 11 people and a baby), but the appetizers were cold and every meal (except the pasta meal and the side gravy for a sandwich were hot). They were lukewarm at the touch and cool by meals end. The only positive was the sever! She was amazing!!!!!
Fries came out crusty, soup was so salty and then when asked to exchange to chicken strips they gave chicken strips that are super tiny and said thats how they come when the people next to us got huge portions of chicken strips
Krensyl was a great server. Wonderful service and the food was great.
It was our first time at Vaughan location and we had an amazing time. The service was really nice and amazing. Our server Prabeen was really friendly and made our night really nice and smooth. The food was delicious as well.

Atul the best server ever
Food and service was great, the waiter Atul went above and beyond making sure the dining experience was perfect.
We had a great time with my family this afternoon. Food was amazing. There s no choice Thanks to our server Tess for the good service.
The food was decent and the atmosphere was nice. Our server Bill was great and helpful. However when we were first seated, nobody came to our table. So long so that we had to go get a server ourselves after 15 minutes.
Its truly an amazing place. Every time I come to Vaughan Mills, I eat here. I love the food, I love the place, I already have some good memories here. Kenny for example, today was amazing and very friendly
Great food. Waiter Denny could develop a little more grace. Parking: Busy place Food : 5/5 |
The PB nachos have been my favourite for a long time, I cant help but order it each visit. Our server Fanny was great, she was attentive and made sure we had everything we needed for our meal, thanks!
Kenny, our server was great. Super fast and great service.
When we arrived, no one was stationed at the exterior door to seat us. Took quite a while to get a table. Atmosphere was like a Denny s. Got seated and ordered an Apple blossom (or whatever they called it). Was a special, not on the menu. When we got rhetorical dessert, it was still slightly cold inside. I guess chef Mic didn t do a very good job reheating it. Portion was tiny. Maybe 3 long by 2 wide and some ice crème. Totally disappointed. Was like a child s portion. And then the bill came and it was $10! Not worth the money. And no oranges to have with wheat beer.
Visited the restaurant earlier for lunch and Bill, our server, was phenomenal and attentive to our needs!
Kenny was great, excellent service

Great service from Atol, food was amazing.
I recently had the pleasure of dining at The Pickel Barrel, and I have to say, it was an outstanding experience from start to finish. Our server, Bianca, truly made our visit memorable. Weve had her as our server twice now, and each time, she s gone above and beyond to ensure our meal was perfect. Her attentiveness, friendly demeanor, and genuine care for our experience set her apart as one of the best servers Ive had. Overall, I highly recommend both the restaurant and Bianca as a server. The combination of fantastic service and delicious food guarantees that Ill be coming back again soon!
Salad was lovely, steak was chewy , server was great
Ive loved the pickle barrel for over 30 yrs awesome for all your taste buds

As always, thank you. Alul provided courteous and prompt service.
Nice casual type of restaurant/dine. Excellent service. Great breakfast. Will Go again.
This was one of the best experiences at a restaurant that I have had in a while. The bartender Melissa was extremely knowledgeable about the menu and the deli menu they have going on, she told us the features (the butternut squash soup was great). I loved that we got complimentary pickles to start along with our drinks, our food was hot and cooked to perfection. Unfortunately we tried to save room for the strawberry cheesecake that she recommended but we were too full by the end of it all! We will be returning and asking for her, you won t be dissatisfied!
Great food
Food was great wonderful service by Colm desert was amazingly displayed, cheese cake awesome chocolate etc
Our server Colm, was great very friendly and efficient. Our Reuben sandwich, crispy fries and the butternut squash soup were so delicious. After the fabulous strawberry NY cheesecake we happily rolled out the door. Lol
The food was delicious, our waitress Avery was a delight!
Thank you for great customer service Adam!
We dropped in for lunch as a 13-player tennis team and were treated like royalty by Karen and the rest of the staff!
We had the best server BIANCA! She was so attentive and took care of us promptly after waiting a while for our server (she wasn t meant to be our waitress). Thank you for your excellent service.

Krensyl was a great server, friendly and quick.
The staff was very accommodating and brought quick service. Our server, Tess, was kind and ensured our experience and food was suited to our tastebuds.
The food was great, but the best thing was our server, Atul, who not recommended some amazing food for us but also treated us like we were at a five star restaurant which since I haven t checked the stars maybe we were! The server really made the experience!
I went for lunch with my five girlfriend s (over 65) last week. We thought the food was good but we also thought it was expensive. Our server Colm was excellent, he had a great personality, he was very pleasant, very funny and you could tell he s been a server for a long time as he really took care of us like we were his grandma s. We will be sure to ask for him when we go back next month.Thanks again Colm!!
Food great bathroom a disgrace cant believe it hasnt been renovated. Black thick soot everywhere, broken door
I always come here when Im in the mall if Tatyana is working, shes makes the meanest ceasers. Friendly and quick service. 5 stars!
Perfect spot for a quick bite while browsing the mall. Tatyana is a hella mixologist
Recently cut the portion sizes what seemed to be in half. $19 for what seems to be a side Greek salad is ridiculous.
Kenny did great
Avery was great! Thanks for the great service!
Food was okay, about what you d expect from this type of restaurant. Our service was lovely; quite above what we expected. Bianca was kind, very quick, and had fantastic intuition - asking us if we wanted refills before we had to ask her. We had to get in and out quickly to continue our day, and so the exceptional service was quite appreciated and impactful. Dietary restrictions: Allergy coverage

Kenny was fantastic. He was friendly and professional. He got all our orders right and was a great server.
Great Food, ambience, and service !! Something for everyone, LOVE THE DELI SANDWICHES!
Graham was our server. He was fast and very pleasant. Food was good had the Lettuce wraps. My only suggestion maybe use Butter (Boston) lettuce. Ice berg lettuce was ok but too watery and the ends were a bit brown. The chicken and the veggies were good. I have been to this location several times and have not been disappointed once.
Sarah gave an amazing experience, and exemplary service she made my night.
I literally go there for happy hour just to order calamari. I love it. I do think they need to have a few more waiters working especially during happy hour when it starts to get a little busy, but our waiter was amazing and he has a great customer service. See you again.
Great environment. Kenny was our server and he was amazing!
Kenny was a wonderful waiter! The food arrived surprisingly fast and it was pretty good! Dietary restrictions: They had a gluten free burger which was fantastic!
