High quality food. I get the feeling the liquor sales here are less than other bars in area that have just as high quality food so they have to serve less food to stay in business. But it is different than other bars have to offer and worth some visits every once in awhile for it's unique high quality food. I rarely drink booze. 5 stars for sure.
Got the Charlotte’s Shenandoah Shuffle and I gotta say it was delicious! Only thing better than the sandwich were the ladies working behind the bar who were fun, friendly and didn’t hesitate helping with any questions I had about the menu.
Be prepared to wait 30-40 mins for your food. Not an exaggeration. I ordered a Rocky, and it must have been made A LONG TIME before my partners. It was just totally soggy, no flavor, a ridiculous amount of mayonnaise. It was awful. If you want a great sandwich, try Fox and The Crow. I didn't even eat it, it went straight on the trash. Disgusting.Update, I asked for it to be remade. A revolting amount of mayo was added. I have no idea what people are eating here. We will not be back
My Cobb salad took 40 minutes and was lame. A bed of field greens and a few little shredded pieces of cheese and turkey in it. I’ve liked the sandwiches in the past so was very surprised and how poor a salad they charged $12 for.
The staff were nice, and the food was tasty. The two of us had a sandwich and a beer each, no chips or extras. And with an 19% tip, it was $50 bucks. Maybe it's worth it to you, but that's a little steep for me. The environment isn't bad but it's not that inviting either. The pickles are good, which is nice. But until I'm fine burning 50 bucks a day for lunch (for 2), I'll probably only go back accompanying friends.
Great food, great staff, little pricey but still very worth it. The only problem we had was they gave us spicy pickles or regular pickles. I guess they picked them out of the wrong barrel.
I really want to like this place - the vibe is great, the service I got was great, and it's a super convenient location for me. But it seems a bit overpriced. $13.35 for an 8" sandwich, and it's a thin sandwich - not stuffed very full. And that doesn't include chips or drink. It was tasty, but I can get a better value elsewhere.
Worst visit to the pickle barrel in 27 years. The remodel looks nice, however the new ordering model isn’t as efficient as it used to be. We were in line to order for thirty minutes. Yes the long line is always expected, it’s a Fort Collins icon, but never have I waited in line that long. I watched five people walk out of line and leave because they were waiting too long. Prices are significantly higher which comes with the times, but if you are going to charge more, get the order right. We didn’t even get our pickles. We are at the PICKLE barrel. My sandwich wasn’t made to my order and the staff argued with me about getting the second soup I paid for. Disappointing. This used to be my favorite sandwich place in town.
Taste is good but I paid 20$ for a child size sandwich and a .99 cent Arizona tea. Biggest rip off in Fort Collins. As someone born and raised on New York deli sandwich’s. This is embarrassing. Don’t waste your money unless you got money to waste I guess.Edit: lol sorry for confusing you allow me to explain. they charged me 17.80 for sandwich and and .99 cent tea before tip( and I tipped 4$ because it’s not the emoloyees fault your sandwiches are a rip-off. So I’m sorry I spent $21.80 not $20. So you’re right I did lie I guess. We’re you gonna give me a second sandwich? Cuz that’s about the only way you could fix it becomes fixing you’re prices
3/5/2022. Used to come here when I was a student at CSU and then shortly after with my wife and kids. Visited the area this weekend and haven’t been to the Pickle Barrel in 15 years. Was looking forward to visiting one of my great memories from my college days. Always a solid sandwich and still is!But…The staff were so rude as for us to never want to go back again. Waited at the counter for a long time and was not acknowledged at all. Then after many minutes, confused I asked if we needed to to something different to order or to fill out the order forms ourselves that were sitting on the counter. The very rude tall long haired guy told us they take our order but when they are ready with a HUGE attitude not even looking at us! It took another 11 minutes of us standing there for them to come over and take our order. Very uncomfortable and unwelcoming…Will take my family and business elsewhere from now on. Very saddened!
