Pickle Barrel Newmarket - York

One of our family favoritesNever had a bad meal, huge menu with lots of options, some of which are even healthier.

1.5/5 Came here on a Wednesday for lunch, around 12 pmIt's close to work so I guess that's something, but that's about it.

It's close to work so it seems we are coming here more often than I would like for lunch social activitiesNew jobs, good bye lunches, birthdays, etc.

We had the worst experience. First, the service was great, our server put up with all of our complaints with grace and humour. But the restaurant was empty which should have been my first clue that something was wrong.The market vegetable was green and yellow beans. They were obviously not cooked from fresh, they were like frozen veg, very rubbery and many were brown and rotting. My steak was overcooked and tough.When I sent it back, the manager came,and took my meal off the bill, discounted my husbands and brought free salads. She said they were cooking cauliflower/broccoli for us. This came with a small piece of corn added as well. I found huge black spots on the cauliflower, The broccoli was mushy and it all smelled off. We soon realized that the corn was actually bad and the smell,permeated the whole bowl of vegetables. How can you send out something that has such an obvious bad small that you cannot even bring yourself to taste it? Where is there quality control?This location needs a complete overhaul of the kitchen. They have cooks with no idea what they are doing. Even the food that had nothing wrong with it, to me was mediocre at best. They are not using fresh quality ingredients at all. I will not go back to this location ever.

Not bad, average. My husband had a burger, bunless. I,had a power bowl. My meal was good, my husbands was ok.
