Pickle Barrel - Toronto, Ontario

The food here is good, but it's a little bit on the blander side for me, but it's still good either way. What made this experience for me was the server. The service was really good and professional, which made the food even more enjoyable. Would recommend as a place ... to stop by. Read more

Horrible experience. Took my wife there for our special day and the waitress was very rude and we were given the worst seats in the restaurant. I've always been a fan and been goin here for years but after last times disappointment we will never be goin back to such ... horrible service. UPDATED REVIEW: I was contacted by Pickel Barrel Customer Service Team. The Manager Juan Pablo offered a 100$ credit for the bad experience we had. Once we arrived at the restaurant we were greeted by Juan Pablo himself. I have to admit the whole experience was probably one of the best we have ever had. It was 5 Star ++++ service. We were served by the Manager herself. Her name was Maya and she was super nice and her customer service skills were top notch. She served us the whole time making sure me and my wife are having a good experience. Before leaving Juan also explained how his customers are like family members and we should feel welcome at home whenever we visit Pickel Barrel (Yonge&Dundas) and I have to be honest; it really did feel like a family the way they served us. It was genuine and we would repeat and go back only for Maya because she was pitch perfect host as the Manager. Our bill came to 150$ plus and it was all covered by PB as they wanted to show their hospitality. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!! GO WHEN MAYA AND JUAN are working they are perfect hosts. Read more

Great lunch today at the Yonge & Dundas location. Absolutely delicious food (rainbow trout & tuna poke bowl); fast, friendly service; very clean; and excellent recommendations from our server! We'll definitely be back soon!!! 😋

I've been to this location several times at various hours, and it has consistently been fairly standard. Service is friendly and prices are reasonable. The dishes and drinks, however, seem very inconsistent. There is also an unwelcome draft in some areas of the restaurant that make it a bit chilly ... during the winter. The first time, I ordered the Spanish paella. It was pretty awful - the rice was essentially soggy rice with tomato sauce with very little bland seafood scattered throughout. The second time, I went with the waitress' recommendation and ordered the pesto chicken fettucine, which was very tasty. The third time, I ordered the double Creole double grilled chicken breast which was also pretty good. My partner had also tried the lobster grilled cheese and maple nut salmon, both which she liked. I found the salmon to be a tad undercooked though. I've had several appetizers, which all seemed very standard. Most outstanding were the Asian nachos, which were a pretty large portion. I've only tried the white chocolate raspberry cheesecake dessert, but it was very good. Compared to a similar dish at milestones, the sweetness was much more subtle and not overpowering. Regarding the drinks, the bellinis are pretty good but the Margaritas have far too much liquor and are a little hard to drink. I would come back here for the cozy atmosphere (if you can get a non-drafty seat) or the diverse menu. It's pretty clean and modern, and often not at full capacity like Joey's. Read more

This is my happy place! They have a menu with a very diverse selection of interesting items, at great prices of course. You can tell they put a lot of effort into their food. I was pretty impressed by the authentic taste! Portion size is alright, not too big of a ... meal but not too little either. My fav dish so far is the shrimp quinoa salad - light yet filling.
