Nice place for lunch
August 05, 2014Was a good place to meet family as we were coming from different directions. I enjoy the pickle barrel menu as it is very diverse for different ages and tastes. If you want to eat light you can. If you want a great burger it's here. Or any great dinner options. Also a really detailed children's menu. There was something... more

Poor customer service and food
July 31, 2014
I went there with some friends and I honestly love the downtown Toronto pickle barrel, but this Mississauga location can learn a thing or two from their other franchise restaurants.
It was one waiter in particular, so I can't speak for the entire restaurant. But he looked like his wife was about to go into labour both times we were...

Me and my girlfriend ordered burgers one of the cheaper items on the menu since we haven't ever gone here.I ordered a southwest turkey burger and she ordered the pretzel steak burger. Both of our burgers came in at a timely fashion, the problem was my burger... more

Some customer service etiquette could be learned
September 30, 2013Overall, OUR server was nice and friendly. She was an older lady which could tie into what I'm about to say next. After eating half our meals we waited for her to come by to hand us our bill n takeout containers. Before we even got attended to, she would walk by at least 4 times seemly to forget we... more

I have been to this location multiple times, never been a fan of the server staff however the food has been good.

Nice casual dining...a cut above fast food
April 24, 2013We like to have the occasional lunch at the Pickle Barrel in the Town Centre. They have some calorie-conscious choices that we enjoy, including Rose Reisman approved items. Service is generally good.

Not the same Pickle Barrel
March 01, 2013
Had lunch today at the Pickle Barrel at the Erin Mills Town Centre. I've been going to Pickle Barrels all over the GTA since it began back in the 1970s. Have never been to this location before and was really disappointed in both the food and the service.
I ordered an old favourite - turkey/avocado club sandwich. I could have...

Handy location...(Sherway Gardens
January 31, 2013Nice atmosphere when not too busy. The fish and chips are good. I usually have the smoked salmon on rye sandwich plate and it is quite nice. Another place of good value but average food.

Not what it used to be
December 08, 2012My wife and I have been going to the restaurants in this chain for over 25 years. The food used to be great, and a good deal for the price. Recent menu changes mean that the place is now an average family eatery, nothing special.

What happened? We wasted our money
November 29, 2012
In the past we have had a good experience. This time is was off and we are disappointed to say the least.
We sat in the lower section (3 adults + 2 teens) and the restaurant was not busy. We waited and waited for our order to be taken. The French Onion soups (2) were not piping hot as usual,...

Not vegetarian friendly
November 19, 2012I went here with family and young children. Not only did the food take a long time to come out, but the order was completely wrong. Each course took an excessive amount of time to come out. With children hungry, it was not a good experience. Plus, one dish had meat in it, when we had ordered it vegetarian.

Poor quality of food and bad service
November 08, 2012I have been going to the Pickle Barrel for many years in Thornhill and when I went to the one at Sherway and Yorkdale the food was almost inedible and the service was very lacklustre.

August 27, 2012
I have been here a few times, and the food was average to below average. Now I only go if someone is having a party there, and I am obliged to go. I would never go to this restaurant if given the choice.
They have way too many food selections on their menu, and maybe that is why the food...

Lots of choices on the menu
August 18, 2012
The food choices here are innumerable so there's something for everyone.
My only dislike was the fact that I was having lunch with a friend I hadn't seen in a long time and the waitress, very obviously, was keen for us to leave - not sure why since the restaurant was not that busy.

A Major Rip Off
July 12, 2012Went with five friends. We each ordered something different and there was not one meal that was acceptable. Very overpriced for a smoked meat sandwich - the smoked meat came out of a vac pack and was not anything like the real thing. Rye bread dry. French fries - frozen and tasted like they were baked, not fried. Oh... and... more

July 11, 2012The Thursday Morning Breakfast Club met here this morning. We were the first to arrive as they opened the restaurant and were promptly seated and offered coffee. The waitress was quite distant and brusque but the service was quick and we had all ordered something different. One woman had a hair on her plate and the meal was replaced, but... more

Not great
July 11, 2012Service was pretty terrible - none of the members of my party got refills. The food was kinda meh and I could tell that the fries were simply McCain frozen fries - not as fresh as they advertise their food to be! Definitely won't return.

Poor Quality. Crazy Menu
April 09, 2012I hate this restaurant. I find the menu is WAY too big and confusing. Even the waiters joke that it is a "novel", at about 22 pages long.

Huge menu, good food
January 18, 2012Their menu is CRAZY big-- yes, lots of ads and promos, but also, tons of dishes and options for everyone. Low cal, low carb, or if you want to splurge-- they have it all. Often busy for lunch and dinner, so reservations are recommended.

Poor Place To Eat
October 11, 2011Would not recommend this restaurant...food mediocre at best. Draft beer arrived "cloudy", like someone hadn't washed the milk glass properly. Sent it back and was told it could not be replaced, as they were "all out" of that brand. Ordered a different beer and again, "sorry we're all out". Hmmmm Not a good start to a leisurely meal with friends.... more

Worst Experience Ever!
November 20, 2010
My wife and I used to frequent the Erin Mills Town Centre location for a number of years and loved it. However the past two times we’ve had a horrible experience, and yesterday took the cake.
We walked in at around 1pm. It took 10 minutes for a server to see us. We ordered our meal straight away, instead of ordering drinks first and then the food. I ordered the steak Cesar salad and my wife...
