    The service here was very good, the ambiance just right since we were sitting in a booth in an alcove. Management was efficient and friendly.

    The chocolate monster shake was amazingly delicious, and huge at 35 OZs.

    The calamari was battered too heavily and deep fried to perdition, not so amazingly delicious.

    Overall a good experience in a mall where there are really not that many good eating options.

    I was happy to see that  this mall has this restaurant because it is one of my favorite places to eat. I usually go to the Promenade location....and very happy there but Vaughn Mills its a totally differrnt story....
    I am walking in with   my husband and two kids. Right at the front they tell me i have to leave my stroller behind...are you kidding me... no restaurant has ever ask me to do that before...what if one of my kids was sleeping? i actually  try to time it that way so i can eat a meal in peace.

    Since we were all hungry i figured ok lets just stay in.I asked for a booth because it is easier to manage my 3 yr old in there.The waitress gave me a weird look and said that a booth is not available and we can  sit at a regular tabe...why...i do not know...the restaurant wasn't even that busy

    .ok so i am getting pretty irritaded by now...i insisted of getting that booth...she gave it to us but with an attitude. I figured it can not get any worst than this lets just enjoy our meal.

    As i am getting the menu i ask for the high chair...the waitress tells me she can not give me the high chair because we are sitting in a booth...what?!..i always get a high chair sitting in a booth and it is never a problem and maybe if you didn't take my stroller away i would be able to put my younger child in there.

    At this point i asked for a  manager. She tells me how it is dangerous for my son to sit there because it is blocking the waitress to serve the food to our table  and the food is hot...and they are concerned about safety...believe me there was more than enough space

    I was quite upset at this point so she brings me a high chair...the one that you are supposed to strap in to a chair...hello...i can not strap this to anything we are sitting in a booth...am i supposed to sit my 1 yr old child in a high chair that is not straped in into anything...i think that it is pretty dangerous!

    Don't ask why but we stayed anyway with me and my child sitting on my lap.

    BUT I TOLD MYSELF I WILL NEVER COME HERE AGAIN ...EVER!

    It is a waste of a good restaurant...poor management!

    I would highly recommend the Promenade location. They have very friendly stuff...stroller no problem...you can sit whetever you like...with a proper high chair...really i have nothing bad to say except that.i am always very pleased with their service and of course that they have yummy yummy food at a reasonable price.

    I wasn't feeling good but still came out tonight to eat.
    My mom chose pickle barrel cause they have wicked matzo ball soup which she hoped would make me feel better.

    We sat in the bar area because in the dinning room there was TONES of screaming kids.
    Our server was VERY friendly and VERY patient with us.
    We all ordered the matzo ball soup and it was delicious!
    At the end of our meal our server with out asking brought out a cute dessert stand with mini martini glasses filled with different cakes!
    SOO CUTE!
    We each HAD to have one..
    Soo delicious too!!

    We are deffinitly coming back to this location!

    If you do choose to come here tho and are not with children, ASK TO SIT IN THE BAR! Otherwise you will feel like you are in a McDonalds playplace! :)
    Goodluck.

    Food was only mediocre. I had a burger and the bun seemed like it was straight out of the bag, and the patty was crispy on the edges. I've eaten at a few other Pickle Barrel locations, and this one was sub par. I would prefer the food court at Vaughn Mills.

    I've been here on numerous occasions. All of the times I've been here, it's been pretty good. However, the way they prepare my favorite dish, bruschetta is difficult to eat (still good though). I highly recommend for people to go on a week day, as weekends they are much busier, and you may have to wait a while for your food. The food also seems a lot fresher and less rushed on week days. The staff is very polite and even the managers occasionally stop to make sure you are having a good time. The mini-deserts are also awesome.

    Just opened in Vaughan Mills a couple of months ago. Good spot to go to if going with a group. A large menu (could use new ones, the ones we got look like then came from another of their locations, well used) so there is something for everybody. Service was friendly, however not very efficient, got my meal and had to ask for my soup! Everybody enjoyed their food and I had the corn beef on rye. Very good. When I get the deli urge, I will go back
