Having only two hours to walk around Silverton and have lunch at the same time we found this place and it wasn't crowded, most of the passengers from the train probably hit the restaurants closer to the station The place is managed and serviced by the owners and the day we were there the owner himself was our server and he tried really hard to give us good service, no complaints about that My burger was good but my friend's was kinda medium and that is no good in a hamburger but she realized that and when she sent it back she had to wait again and the second time around she got the same burger but cooked well. 3.5 and iWould've been 4 stars if not for the almost raw burger on this mom and pop place read more

The Pickle Barrel - Lunch in Silverton - Diners Near Me - Silverton, Colorado

2 people...1 appetizer of Buffalo Wings, 1 pint craft beer, 1 Miller Lite & a slice of homemade pie. Total for lunch $36. Tourist prices but we can not complain about the food, service nor seating. The 8 wings were crispy and coated in Franks Hot Sauce & Butter which is my go to at home. We appreciated the nice serving of carrot sticks instead of the usual 3-4 at some places. YOLO! read more

We enjoyed our lunch at the Pickle Barrel. The wait staff were very friendly and efficient. The burgers and sandwiches were delicious and came out in a timely manner. Most people come from the train so have little time to spare. They know that here and make sure that service is quick and the food good. We were here a day before our train ride so when we took the train ride the next day one person in our party wanted to try another restaurant that day. That restaurant was just ok. We should have come back here. read more

Cute little restaurant, in a quaint little town. My dining partners enjoyed the toasted cheese ravioli on a bed of greens with delicious vinaigrette dressing. The Reuben sandwich, served with a generous serving of potato chips made for an amazing lunch. The service was above and beyond. Even though they were very busy when we were there, the server we had was very pleasant and humorous. I highly recommend The Pickle Barrel when you roll into town on the Durango and Silverton Narrow Gauge scenic railway! read more

Turkey green chili wrap with homemade slaw was excellent Pastrami on marbled rye was delicious. Service impeccable read more

It was OK, not bad for a tourist town. The salad was adequate but came in a plate so small the food was escaping over the edges. The mushroom burger was good but not the best I have had. It is the end of the season, see you next year. read more

Great food, friendly and fast service! We rode the train up and I think a lot of people miss this people because it's on the far end. We were in and out in 30 minutes. Definitely left us time to explore. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!! read more

Meh. Italian veg soup of the day was just broth with corn and tomatoes, basically. Not many other veggies. I expected some beans. Quinoa salad was runny, too much vinegarette. Cole slaw was okay. Rueben was good, not the best I've had though. read more

Stopped in for a light lunch, everyone was so welcoming and friendly. Had the toasted ravioli salad, they make their own vinaigrette, perfect level of seasoning! Ravioli was light and crispy. Our server shared a lot of information about the town and was excellent. read more

The owner of the restaurant got so mad at us for putting the tables together he kicked a chair across the room. He's crazy. We walked out and heard the food was not good anyway. What a nightmare. read more

We got ice cream and coffee. The reason for the low review is because they won't give you tastes like most ice cream shops do so you can pick your flavor. read more

Excellent food and service. Everyone was incredibly friendly and responsive. The Rueben was especially good. Highly recommended.

This is the second time we have eaten at the Pickle Barrel each year before the annual Iron horse bicycle classic. The food is outstanding and is always consistent. This time the PB mushroom burger and Au Poivre Burger that were both over the moon. Recommend stopping by. Taking one of there homemade deserts to try later. read more

Food was really good and came out fast, service was hard working and respectful! There was a one star review about the owner throwing a fit about moved tables, we were in the restaurant at the same time and the customers moving the tables were very out of line and disrespectful. The owner handled it as well as he could of. People are so entitled these days! Overall worth a stop and to support the hard working workers! read more

Shout out to the Pickle Barrel in Silverton. Group of six of us were in town to ski and stumbled in to the Pickle Barrel for dinner on night one. It was awesome. Went back again on night two because the food and the service was great. Much appreciated. Special note: If you need a great real before or after dinner, check out the Shagri La soaking pools next door. Same owners and a great way to end the day after tough skiing. read more

My delicious dinner began w/ home-baked bread, & a plate of fresh greens. I followed that w/ homemade corn chowder w/ ham (which was really good). The main dish was pork medallions, which wouldn't have suffered from some addl seasoning, a top-notch baked potato (complete w/ crispy skin, not steamed!) & fresh green beans, seasoned perfectly. Dessert was Whiskey Bread Pudding, & it was OUTSTANDING!! Service: Whitney was extremely accommodating, & efficient! The decor was rustic, simple, quaint...perhaps "farmhouse antique" might describe it best. The bill was around $25 (only water to drink.) A solid 4+ out of 5, & I'll be back!! Notes to the management: The low-dollar silverware & paper placemats "cheapen" the presentation, & make me think "cafeteria". Awesome service & food! Thank you!!! read more

Stopped in here for dinner while staying in Silverton. It was a great choice! I don't think I've ever seen anyone move as fast as our waiter did. Everyone in the restaurant was super friendly and really wanted the patrons to have a good time. We enjoyed the food, which was all home made. Everything, from the soup and salad to the entrees was amazing. There was a huge case full of deserts that looked delicious (they tasted that way too). If you happen to find yourself in Silverton, make sure to try the Pickle Barrel. You won't be disappointed! read more

For a touristy town this pace is good. I got the BBQ cheddar chicken. It was really good. They serve a pickle with each entree. They also make there own homemade garlic and herb vinaigrette and that was a big hit!! It was very good. read more

Nice place to stop for dinner in Silverton. Everyone tells you to go for the Prime Rib, which was good. I'd say get yourself a nice dinner, but go for the deserts! The fresh baked deserts all looked spectacular. There is a nice looking pub in the back. read more

We had dinner at the pickle barrel tonight... Hubs had prime rib and I had blackened salmon... excellent food for sure!!! The dinners came with salad and a side, hubs had mashed potatoes and I had a loaded baked potato... They make everything homemade, we had fresh hot bread with our meal.... service was excellent and we even had 8 in our party!!! read more

Great spot for classic American menu items like Prime Rib, salads, burgers, pasta dishes and creative specials!

Food was decent, atmosphere felt uncomfortable and service was very poor. Prices were ok for Silverton but the place lacked some much needed attention in many different areas. read more

Stopped by The Pickle Barrel for a quick to-go lunch and everything was very good! The father and son working were super friendly and food came out hot in less than 10 minutes. The buffalo chicken wrap, buffalo wings, and Ruben were all delicious - some of the best buffalo wings we've had and the Ruben was generously stuffed with tons of meat. We'd recommend a stop if you're in Silverton! read more

The Pickle Barrel is as quaint as the town of Silverton. Our family of four had both lunch and dinner there during our stay. Our lunch of burgers, a big fat hotdog, and chicken strips were delicious. The dinner menu offers even more selections and although the mahi-mahi and Walnut crusted chicken looked yummy, I couldn't resist the chicken fried chicken. With the snow blowing outside, we had a wonderful dinner next to a roaring fireplace, and topped it all off with a brilliant piece of chocolate cake and ice cream. The restaurant sits in what was described by the owner, Paul, as the oldest stone and mortar structure on the western slope and the history of both the building and the town surround you. Great food, great hosts, and great atmosphere. read more

My husband and I were headed up to the Grand Mesa area, Silverton seemed like a great place to stop for lunch. We decided on the Pickle Barrel bc on its history. I was hoping the reviews were wrong but yelp was right on the mark. Service was ok. I did enjoy my cold beer. We both ordered a burger (not the Kobe), mine w sweet potato fries. The food wasn't bad it was just bland. read more

Even though it was one of only two places open it was a great place to eat. Friendly folks, very cool building with effort to restore not redo, selection of beer and wine was great and food was good! Prices were moderate for a tourist type of town, kids were happy and their food prices for kids was decent also. A great experience for sure! read more

Like I've said before, the cute little town of Silverton is seriously in need of a good restaurant, and I fully acknowledge that if you're out for a food tour, this is not your town. Having said that, here's my two cents: From the outside, you'd think you were in for a great atmosphere, but then a dude in a sloppy tshirt and cargo shorts greets you with the unfriendly, "two?" The restaurant is cold, temperature-wise, as in we never took off our jackets, no music, as in you feel like the quiet conversation you're having has now become a part of everyone else's conversation, and the food is pretty so-so, as in wilted salad, highly processed buns on the burger offerings, and fries that likely have more ingredients than salt, oil, and potatoes. Will this place get you fed? Yes. Can you cook better than this at home? Absolutely. But will you look fondly on your trip to Silverton and remember this restaurant? No. read more

Great food and service. The entire town lights up and everyone in Silverton is ready for us tourist getting off the train. The service was fast, friendly and the food was fabulous. There are several options in Silverton and The Pickle Barrel is a fabulous option. Our blue cheese hamburger, pastrami sandwich the kids grilled cheese were all delicious. Had the soup of the day asparagus and cheese was awesome. Great options for kids too. The fact is the food is very good here, the service is exceptional, especially if you are riding on the train...they want you in (but will not rush you) out to explore the town of Silverton and definitely make sure you are on the train back. read more

This place was bustling when we were here, but the service here was solid and the Food here was quite good. We liked the fact that they had some green saldas on the menu, and we in fact hit this place twice - once for each day we were in Silverton. They have a pretty cool atmosphere and prices were not outrageous - and some decent selections for the kids. When we are in Silverton again, we would definitely go back. read more

It's a diner in Silverton with a cute restaurant and a big menu. The food was decent, but not the best I've ever had... But we are in Silverton, where they have to truck in ingredients a long way. I think they do well with what they have. read more

Such a lovey spot and the staff is awesome but the food is sub-par. Maybe I should elaborate, the food is terrible for the prices. Usually I suggest you stay with the hamburger but even this is below Dairy Queen standards. Sorry Pickle Barrel, you lose this one. read more

OK, so this was my 3rd year in a row that i have come to ski silverton mountain.... i love this little town tucked up into the san juan mts... the whole town is pretty much closed up for business in the winter, but the pickle barrel is always an exception.... the building is OLD (like the whole town..) i think around 1890s-1900 kinda age... it's really not a whole lot different from the way it used to be as proven in the several turn-of-the-century photos on the walls... there is a nice big fireplace that is always roaring... very laid-back, family-type atmosphere... all three times i've been here, it is on a wednesday evening... the special is home-made meatloaf with mashed potato, gravy and veggies... with soup or salad... the meatloaf is the main reason i keep coming back!!!... i am not a big meatloaf fan, but this is REALLY EXCEPTIONAL meatloaf!!! there are several local beers available, as well as a decent wine list.... dessert is often home-made pie!!! my guess is that this place is open and full in the summer too... but i will always be back for the fresh powder!!! read more

Solid dinner option in Silverton with good service and at decent prices for this mountain town. The steak quesadilla was pretty good with well flavored beef, although the salsa was definitely mild Pace brand and not very good. The steak and cheese sub was good as well with nice flavor. They also have a few good beer choices, which are especially nice after a day on the mountain. There are few options for dinner during the winter in Silverton, and this was probably my favorite place to eat. read more

Great fun and great food. High in the mountains of Colorado. You probably won't come just for the food but if you ride the Durango Silverton Railroad (which I highly recommend) this is a must stop for food. EVERYTHING is homemade and excellent. read more
