    Excellent onion soup
    Lori R.

    We have been here many times since my first review of the place, and not once have we been anything other than pleased with our visit. The food is always good. Service, even when they are busy, is also very good. Friendly. Really feel like they CARE here. Case in point...open on Christmas Day. Yep. That's care for the community. Same great menu with a nice variety. Great selection of brews on tap. The Brown Ale from Charlotte was one of the best we've ever had. Also tried their spinach dip for the first time and it was fantastic. The crispy bacon really made it special. Also finally tried their wings. Love that you can get them grilled. And let me tell you they are worth the 30 minute wait! They won't let you have two different sauces, but will let you mix a couple and I gotta say my creation of smoky bbq mixed with honey habanero is a real winner! Husband is a huge fan of their Chicago Beef Sandwich and onion rings. And the sides are always good. Loaded Baked Potato and Broccoli are two of my faves. Never have to worry about parking as it's in the Lowes Foods Shopping Center. Nice choice of seating...high top tables, lower ones plus bar seating. Plus a few games if you feel like playing. Delightful neighborhood bar/restaurant.

    We ventured out to a different Pickled Onion since we really enjoy the one off of Capital Blvd. The atmosphere was low key and more chill. Several people were dining alone and seemed to be regulars. We ordered Fish Tacos and onion rings. I prefer the fish tacos at the other location and the onion rings were all clumped together making it hard to share them since they were all stuck together. Also the seating is mostly high tops with only a couple tables offered low top option. Some patrons were playing on gambling machines too. Overall it was ok but I much prefer the upbeat vibe of the other as well as the booth option too.

    I ordered the Philly cheesesteak eggrolls. I know the difference between well-done and burnt. These were burnt and terrible. The only reason I did not return them is my job site was too far away very disappointed. I usually get much better food from the pickled onion. Everybody has a bad day but wow

    Atmosphere: bar environment, clean, friendly Appetizer: Crack Fire Entrees: Philly Melt, Brisket Platter, Wings Service: attentive My husband came for lunch a few weeks ago and left his card here. They held on to it for a few days and to his surprise he didn't have any unapproved charges appear so he was able to keep the same card. Must be a few good people left in the world and they happened to work here. I hadn't been here before so we decided to pop in for a quick dinner. Overall, I'd recommend you give it a try as well if you like bar food and car atmospheres. Very good service and the food was flavorful. I ordered the brisket plate with the BBQ sauce on the side. The macaroni and cheese had good flavor but was a little dry for my preference, not bad though, I still ate more than half. Brocolli was cooked exactly how I like it with a nice crunch to it. My son had the wings and said they were very good. Waitress also mentioned that they won an award for their wings too. Husband had the Philly cheese steak and had no complaints.

    First time will say wait time was a tad bit long, beer wasn't filled all the way up. Wings were huge but overall good asl. Waiter trauma dumped us but aye can't complain. Overall food was a solid 8/10.

    The pickled onion is a spacious restaurant with a bar and multiple TVs. There were multiple people dining at the restaurant during the week. I sat at the bar and ordered my food. The bartender was nice and became more talkative after I sat there for a while. I got an order of shrimp and fries. My food was brought to me quickly. The fries needed to be cooked longer and needed some salt. The shrimp was flavorful and tasted good.

    The newest Pickled Onion pub located at Forestville crossing shopping center. We were lucky to be invited to the soft opening and the place is shiny new and the servers were fantastic! They work as a team so we were well taken care of! Special shout out to Nicole who was awesome! I ordered a Ninja turtle cocktail, made with Malibu rum, pineapple and lime. Was so good! Started with the lobster queso dip which comes with fresh tortilla chips. We loved it. Next I had a Caesar salad, bud shrimp tacos. They were supposed to be spicy but I didn't notice much spice with cilantro lime slaw. They sure don't skimp on the shrimp! Hubby enjoyed his meatball parm and fried pickle chips. The pub has loads of TVs but thankfully there was music playing. We would definitely come back when in the area.

    Cheeseburger with mushrooms - delicious!
    Carmen H.

    I am so pleased that this location finally opened! I went in knowing that it would take a while to be seated and eat so I don't feel like the service was slow. They're brand new and the place was slammed! The food was great - I can always count on the Pickled Onion to cook my burgers perfectly! I don't have burgers often but when I do, it's important to me to have them not be overcooked. Service was great! The servers there work as a team and it is a good system. All of the staff had a very friendly and positive attitude. We have been back 2 more times after this visit and it's been great every time!

    Really REALLY good Mexican food at this spot in Gateway Commons. It was packed on a Weds night,…read morealways a good sign! Menu is straighforward, all of the usual Mexican fare is listed. Tried the Fajita Quesadilla. A beautiful and well stuffed quesadilla is grilled then quartered for the plate. Served with rice and shredded lettuce, guac, pico and sour cream. The portion is big, it's served piping hot within minutes. Margaritas are cold and well mixed - not too strong, not too weak. Shout out to Luis, who took care of us. He is super-attentive, charming, funny and pleasant and does a great job. As an example - we split our entree... and without being asked he brought an extra plate. This might not seem like a big deal, but somehow this nearly never happens unless we ask. Great work, Luis - thank you! This may well turn out to be our go-to Mexican spot in town. GO!

    All Mamacitas are not the same! A few weeks ago I reviewed…read morethe Mamacitas on Capital Blvd - good food and drink with underwhelming service and atmosphere. So we tried the one in Heritage Commons - COMPLETE GAME CHANGER! The food and drink was even better because the staff was friendly, engaging and efficient - and the decor and ambiance wa-a-aay more pleasing and comfortable. I got the exact same things - margarita, wings, and carne asada burrito - the tastiness and presentation of the margarita made my eyes roll back in ecstasy - and the food was delish. I've seen other Yelper's reviews, mostly positive, and gotta tell ya: GO EXPERIENCE IT FOR YOURSELF - you won't be disappointed. Very affordable, relaxing and unpretentious - the robot server was a nice surprise and perfect accent. GO. SOON.

When he brought the bread and oil, he was able to take balsamic vinegar and draw the number 25 on the dish (we are soon to celebrate 25 years of marriage). Our 1st course was a plate of Crustini, prosciutto, provolone, burrata and balsamic marinated tomatoes. No problem finishing that. The atmosphere of this place is semi-casual. We were tucked in a little corner of a semi-private room, but could hear the patrons around us. Yet, it was not bothersome. For entrees, we both got pasta. My husband ordered the spinach noodled lasagna, which he told me was great. He couldn't finish his portion. As for me, I got the chicken parmesan with spaghetti. You can tell they used San Marzano tomatoes in their sauce. So good. I too, could not finish, so we get to eat this again. Make a reservation so you don't take a chance as a walk-in or bar patron. We loved that they said our name when we arrived at the proper time. Our waiter told us that the owner is from The Bronx, but he traveled to Bologna, Italy, and gets inspired by the dishes he tried there. Menu changes daily. We love that he went and treated us to some special treats (the dessert was a Limoncello tart. The top of the custard was bruleed, and it was served with tiny spoons and a dollop of real whipped cream. The plate was sauced with raspberry puree. Oh, the bottom was a crunch crust to add texture and flavor. Last thing, my Moscato D'Asti was imported from Italy. I like the pear flavor that comes through while drinking this chilled, bubbly wine. I hope you go there and try someone from the new menu. It will be nice to go again.

It had a solid crunch out the outside and it was still flavorful and rich on the inside. The steak was exceptional. Perfectly booked medium rare throughout with a perfect sear.

I would suggest this place for a nicer meal with gluten free options. The Wine Barrel side is more casual, which was nice for us because we wanted a good meal but also wanted to watch the NFL playoff game.
