Seated right away but waited about ten minutes for a server to approach to take our drink order,…read morebut it gave us time to look at the vast menu and we were ready to order drinks and food when the server finally arrived and service overall was great. I got the Philly cheesesteak and my husband got the wings. His wings were pretty good, but the cheesesteak fell apart because the bread was soaked from the meat, and the juices were dripping out of the sandwich so much so that my fries were getting soggy. The bread seemed very doughy and almost undercooked while also being mushy from being drenched by the juice of the meat. I had to basically just eat the meat and cheese with a fork since I couldn't even pick up the bread without it falling apart. The flavor of the meat was very good but the bread just ruined it. They need to either toast the bread and drain the meat before putting it on the bun or use a different type of bun. We may be back to try some other dishes but definitely will not order the cheesesteak again.

Visited The Pickle Barrel recently and overall, the experience was just okay. The food was decent…read morebut a bit underwhelming. Given the name, I was hoping for a menu packed with pickle-inspired items, but surprisingly, there weren't many. The fried pickles ended up being pretty bland. We also tried the wings,they weren't very warm when they arrived, but the Islander sauce has potential. It just needed a little more punch. On the upside, the blue cheese dressing was solid,nice and chunky, which I personally love. Mac n cheese bites were probably the best thing we tried. The prices were very reasonable, which was a plus. The best part of our visit, by far, was the service. Our server, Gina, was fantastic. She was super friendly, checked in often, answered all our questions, and just had a really fun and upbeat personality that made the whole experience more enjoyable. She is the reason I rated 4 stars. Not sure I'd rush back for the food, but if I did, it'd be because of Gina.

My mom had never been here and we had been once before but what I could remember it was a small,…read morefun, quaint little place off the beaten path with good steaks and seafood. We hadn't eaten all day and were starving. Plus it's an hour drive to get here. We could tell they were crowded from the parking lot but oh well. It's a Friday evening at 7 pm. They took our name down but didn't give a time estimate. We sat outside under the tornado wind fans and picked up some drinks from the bar. Coke for me, tea for mom and a beer for my husband. After about 30 min, we had a table ready. The chef show of smoking outside was getting nauseating. This is where things went south. Our hostess gave us our silverware and menus annnddd left. Empty drinks sat on the table while ice just kept melting. My husband was able to flag someone down to get a drink but she ran off before asking me or my mom. Our waitress finally came to the table and took our appetizer order. She thankfully came back to get our food orders but still no drinks. Now, have you ever heard of island time? Well thats what were on except the music was extremely loud, tables were hooping and hollering and we were stuck sitting in our wicker chairs. The appetizer took about an hour to come out. The fried pickle batter slipped off like a batter stealing base. And some parts of the batter were still undercooked. After that, I noticed the table next to us kept waiting for their bill. They had asked several times. They finally went to the bar after approximately 45 min. My mom started to ask if they forgot us. We still had no drinks by the way. I was willing to drop a $20 and leave. We stayed. Our food came out around 9:30 pm. The French dip so was good but waiting 2 hours good. Im not so sure. We were trying to get to go boxes but ended up having to go to the bar for the boxes and to pay. They were already clearing the table by the time we got back and we had left our stuff there so we could also use the restroom. We just quickly packed our food and went outside to use the bathroom. They women's is a one stall. Not the best. Not the worst. It did its job. Will we be back? Hard to say. 3 hours for food, almost no service and no refills.

We were met with the same southern hospitality that kept bringing me back to the Treehouse with every home visit. Our favorite item, the fried mushrooms were as delicious as we remembered.

Has a diner like feel with green vinyl booths and pub lighting. There is a separate sports bar type concept across the hall from the regular restaurant. Very much a basic grill and sandwich type of place. They have cheeseburgers, various types of breaded/fried chicken, steaks. Ham and turkey sandwiches and hoagies. They have lunch plates serving up things like honey sriracha salmon, chicken tenders, fried shrimp, etc. Apps include cheese sticks, jalapeño poppers, ahi tuna. They have a setup where you can do their salad bar, soup and salad, soup and half a sandwich, and various types of prepared salads. They have daily specials as well, which is what I ordered from. I had the bacon pimento cheeseburger medium, and it was cooked appropriately and well-seasoned. The pimento wasn't quite melted, but was still pretty good. Bacon was perfect. Large portion and I only ate half and took the other half home. The fries were fantastic! My meal cost without tip was 21 dollars, and I consider that a great deal. Other specials included fried pickle chips, lemon herb cod, blackened chicken Alfredo, sweet potato casserole, California chicken salad. Service was on the southern side of slower, but attentive. My server even got me a Diet Coke in a to go cup as a courtesy, without being asked. Most of my time over the last five years has been spent in New York and other metro cities. Don't walk into this place expecting a Michelin star restaurant. It's a homey rural feel with down to earth people and decent food. Take it for what it is and enjoy the kitschy southern atmosphere.

Was asked if we wanted more before they were about to break it all down and of course I didn't it was all cold and the desert was warm. Went to the counter to pay and they wanted to charge $60 for a so called seafood buffet. Not much of a seafood buffet and it was cold, hard, and nasty. This place really needs some help.

My family from Lyons co-signed and said the Fried Chicken is legit. So yes on seafood night I ordered a plate of 1/4 of fried chicken white meat (Breast and full wing) and crinkle fries. The chicken was nice and crispy. It had great flavor and the breading wasn't salty. The chicken was moist and had consistent flavor throughout. My 2 pc was so good I had eaten 2 more full wings. I prob could've eaten another 3-4 pcs of chicken. This review was solely based on my experience of the fried chicken which is the only thing I had. This place is known for their chicken and I to can now co-sign on this amazing chicken.

Maybe it was just a bad day or maybe you've changed it altogether. I hope it goes back to the way it was.
