If average was a restaurant, this place would be the poster child. I only give it 3 stars because of the service, the food was a solid 1-2 stars. Bland, as average as it gets. The chicken in the chicken tacos had no texture. It was mush! So bad. The special chicken fried steak was exceedingly average at best. The waitress, Erica, was awesome, and that was the highlight. The food was just awful to average. Drinks were good though, because they came out of a can. So disappointing, we really were excited to try it. Just keep driving by it, up or down the mountain there is way better offerings in the area. Ambiance was awesome, right in the stream with humming birds flitting about.

No big deal, we ordered burgers. The burgers were way over well done and with the exception of the sliders, do not come with cheese. The patties are not well seasoned (they must rely on the sauces for flavor). The biggest gripe is that most everything revolves around vinegar: the charcuterie board, veggies, salt & vinegar chips, cole slaw, you name it. It was way too much vinegar and the whole table smelled so strongly of it. The mashed potatoes were gummy and looked unappetizing. Wish fries were offered as a side instead of salt & vinegar chips, salad (with vinaigrette I'm sure), vinegar cole slaw, or rice pilaf. Also, it took almost an hour from when we ordered to get our food. This place was just not for us, but I recognize that this could fit other tastes, especially if you really like vinegar.

Cookies, donuts, we feasted. Don't miss this little gem.

We were really excited to visit the Pickle Shack, but unfortunately, our experience was very disappointing due to the rude behavior of the woman behind the counter. When we asked if they offered samples, she curtly replied that she had stopped doing samples and would never offer them again. While it was a bit disappointing not to try the flavors beforehand, it wasn't a big deal--but her attitude was unnecessary. We decided to browse anyway, hoping to find something to support a local business. When we asked about the flavor profile of the pickled veggies (whether they leaned more sweet or salty), she dismissively responded, "Well, they're all pickled." We're fully aware they're pickled--we were just asking for more detail. Throughout our visit, she made additional rude comments that left us feeling unwelcome. Her unhelpful demeanor, combined with the fact that the pickled veggies we purchased tasted unpleasant and stale, made for an overall bad experience. Sadly, we cannot recommend stopping by. read more

My family and I were thoroughly impressed by the Pickle Shack. Not only were the products outstanding, but the woman at the front desk knew her stuff about pickles. The people who left by one star reviews are normies and don't know quality when they see it. I hope to be back soon. read more

You'll need the special tortillas (sopes) they sell here. This place actually has the largest variety of hispanic chips and tortillas I've seen yet. The only issues is, it can get crowded, and the checkout and line for the butcher can be long, but otherwise, everything I've bought here has been legit, and we look forward to coming by when we are in the area. The other addition is that it's got an attached small restaurant, with a wide selection of good eats we've tried tacos, burritos, carne asada plate, beef soup, all delicious! The aisles are tight and a little tough to maneuver when it's crowded, but nothing deal breaking. Definitely worth a stop if you're looking for that special thing, whatever that may be for you. Best of all? Their prices are (mostly) reasonable, unlike some of the other "Hispanic" stores in town that overcharge.

The highlight was definitely the quesabirria taco. There was so much cheese on there it really makes it juicy and salty. Not the best tacos I've had in town but not a totally disappointment.
