I came into Milledgeville on Sunday for a business trip. When I asked around for a good place to eat, the consensus was unanimous from the hotel to the gas station. Everyone sent me to the pickle barrel, and I must say it did not disappoint. It was a real chill atmosphere. I got in around 7p. There weren't too many people there. I was seated right away. We sat outside. The waitress was super nice and very informative and accommodating. I feel bad I forgot her name but she was a nice little black woman. My dining partner had a Paloma, that was made perfectly by the bar tender. I had the lemonade which was good. Our appetizers were fried pickle and firecracker shrimp. They were both delicious. For dinner we had the Wicked Burger and Seafood basket. All the food was delicious. The service was great. The atmosphere was stimulating. I will definitely return.

Our server was really sweet, If you're looking for a quick bite but great food, then you've come to the right place. I had a burger with their beer batter fries, and they were amazing, My husband had their nachos. It was a very hefty serving as well. Everything was really great, the friendly service the food and the atmosphere. Truly great experience at this restaurant, which we don't tend to have around here in Georgia being Hispanic, but we would definitely come eat here again.

I first experienced Pickle Barrel when I visited my wife while she was on assignment over in Milledgeville. The food and service were AMAZING!! I forget the name of the waiter, but he did a damn good job taking care of us. I always order the boneless wings (lemon pepper) and two pieces of grilled fish seasoned with jerk and citrus. Oh, don't forget the islander sauce!! I'm looking forward to hitting the road visiting you guys again since I'm not from the area!!

Great find! It’s a little local chain, but it was our first time going to one. We were in town for a concert and decided to eat after. Not much open so we stopped here and I’m so glad we did. The service was excellent and the food was even better. Mozzarella sticks, homemade kettle chips, burgers, fries, chicken tenders, etc were all shared by the group and everyone enjoyed everything. If we are in Milledgeville or any of the other locations with a Pickle Barrel again, we will be sure to stop by!

Completely surprised. Thought it was going to be like a bar with "bar food" but absolutely not. It's a quaint restaurant with really good food and excellent service. Pickle fries are a must!

Our first time here. They have a nice patio that includes a comfortable waiting area for folks waiting on a table. The inside bar and dining room areas are very nice and well kept up. Fun decor. Very friendly mask-wearing staff. We were checked in on by a couple of people along with our fantastic server, Kathryn. We ordered a Chef salad, a fried okra appetizer and a chicken tenders basket. The tenders were tossed in honey hot wing sauce, but you have many flavor choices. Chef salad: Huge, fresh salad (see photo) The best Chef salad we've ever seen. Fried okra appetizer: a huge portion, perfectly breaded and fried, comes with ranch dressing on the side. Chicken tender basket: Very generous portion of delicious chicken tenders (see photo) that comes with 2 sides. I got cole slaw (vinegar style) which tasted freshly made and French fries, which turned out to be battered in a Tempura-like batter which honestly I do not care for, but clearly it has its fans since they seem to be the house French fries. We will definitely be back next time we are in Milledgeville.
