An Oldie but Goodie
Location:
Yorkdale Mall
Notes of Interest:
An interior straight out of Y2K
What we ordered:
- Grand Breakfast – $20
- Bacon and Eggs – $17.50
- Swap Potatoes for Salad (can’t remember if this was an extra charge)
Total damage to wallet – $37.50 + tax + tip
Thoughts:
I used to eat at this Pickle Barrel all the time in my early years, but hadn’t visited in probably a decade. The interior looks exactly the same! The large overwhelming menu is also the same! The nice server and small TVs, all the same! Normally we would head to the Cheesecake Factory next door, but there was probably too long of a wait. By contrast, no one is here – particularly for breakfast. The food is pretty much as I remember, nothing amazing but decently edible. Not sure if the nostalgia is enough to pull me back though. Maybe to get the triple decker grilled cheese.
