Mmm yummy brisket sandwich. Services was fast and the food was good, recommend “el loco”
Food is solid, definitely enjoyed our meals. Pub food focused on BBQ- nachos were decent, mac and cheese was excellent. Ambience is definitely college town vibe, but hey, it's across the street from campus so what do you expect. Enjoyed our meal and would go back.
Pickle's catering is SO GOOD I've ordered it for multiple events over the past semester (I'm an event planner at the University). Regardless of whether it's a small, 30-person faculty retreat, a medium-sized staff workshop, or a large youth camp for high schoolers with over 100 participants - everyone comes back for seconds and thirds and asks who the caterer is!
Because you order a la carte by the pound instead of giving a head count, you can really tailor your buffet...read full review
