Pickles Restaurant

My family loved this new place! Chicken fried steak was amazing and my husband enjoyed the catfish. This was my husband’s birthday place of choice. Cleanest restaurant I have been in awhile. So nice inside! Fried pickles were yummy! Also the service was great. This is definitely a place worth coming back to.

My sisters and decided to try out Pickles for a dinner together.
I heard good things about the place from my mother.
I read the Unilocal reviews from other reviewers before I came and got a different story… So I decided that it good be good… It could be bad.
The atmosphere was nice but a bit noisy.
The menu promised hand breaded chicken fried steak.
I ordered a chicken fried steak breakfast with biscuits and gravy, hash browns and over easy eggs.
The chicken fried steak was tender if a bit salty. The breeding wa properly seasoned and mild but tasty.
The biscuits were fluffy and flavorful.
The gravy was creamy and thick with good seasoning.
The hash browns were a bit greasy but had crispy exterior and pleasantly creamy interior.
I would pass on the chicken fried steak next time. But I found the meal overall well worth a return visit.
On a return visit I had a steak special special that was good. The steak was flavorful and juicy. The green beans I ate were especially enjoyable with a tender texture and mild flavor that went very well with the steak and the potato. I don’t think I’ve ever had better green beans.
The potato and croissant roll were good as well.
This definitely a «Good» place to eat.

I went there a little over a month ago with my father to give this place a shot. I love supporting new businesses, especially in Edmond. I would never wish a business to do bad but gosh this place was dreadful. They had maybe 8 «two tops» in the restaurant so they were not very busy when we went in. The first thing we see is the manager telling of of the employees behind the counter not to panic but he looked like the one panicking. Not a great first impression. We were seated and given menus. It took our server 10 minutes to get our drink order alone. We waited almost 40 minutes for our food to come out. I will say, the food was not too bad but should never take 40 minutes for a guest. A couple that came in 5 minutes after us waited to be greeted by a server for almost 20 minutes. They had to ask the manager if they could order food and he «served» on them. When we received our check they said the were out of printer paper as we were paying with a card. They attempted to write down all of our credit card information to process the transaction and we felt this was really bad on their part and asked to pay cash. I will never go back and hope this review helps others. I give this business 6 months.

This restaurant isn’t anything remarkable. The menu is similar to what you’d find at any American/​country café style restaurant. The prices are reasonable. You seat yourself, which is odd given the way the place is arranged. The food is mediocre. It wasn’t bad, but it wasn’t great either.

We ordered the sampler appetizer, 2 chicken fried steak dinners, and 1 chicken strip dinner. It was disgusting!
We are not picky eaters… and when my teenage son doesn’t like the food, trust me, it has to be bad! The chicken fried steak was VERY thin… and mainly just crust, the gravy was canned (and gross canned gravy at that), the chicken strips were pre-​made frozen strips… none of the appetizers were appetizing. We were so disappointed :(It was almost $ 45.00 for our meal… and we all agreed we would have been much happier going next door to Braums. As far as service went, it was not terrible, not great either… we figured the guy was new and so we overlooked the so-​so service. We will not be returning.

As far as food goes, Pickles was pretty good. The chicken fried steak is HUGE, and the chicken strips I had were amazing!
However, the service was very poor. The first time we went, we constantly waited on refills and he kept our debit card for a very long time. The last time, it was obviously someone new to the job, who wasn’t very good at anything.
Overall, I would give it anther try.

The speed of service is slow. Lot of workers in the shop… Not quick to respond. Food is OK. Give them a few weeks to figure it out.

After a fire shut down the local Pizza Hut the building set empty for quite awhile. Finally we saw the building had been purchased and remodeling ensued. At some point a sign went up saying Pickles was coming to Edmond. It seemed like a long wait, but they finally opened their door this past Monday, June 22^nd. During this first week I have had lunch and breakfast here and am ready to chime in.
I met a friend for a late lunch and just had a burger. It was fine, nothing spectacular… typical fare. But since they serve breakfast I made a point of telling the hubby we were having breakfast here on Saturday morning, our usual day for having breakfast out. So off we went this morning and I was hoping since the burger was average this would be like a diner type breakfast and I’d be happy with a local spot just around the corner from us.
Sadly this is not to be the case. Eggs are served with your choice of 2 pancakes, 2 biscuits with gravy, or hash browns and toast. WHO doesn’t serve hash browns with eggs unless they get pancakes? So we ordered one meal with biscuits and gravy and one with hash browns and white toast. Again nothing spectacular and nothing to write home about. The biscuits were small, hard and dry and I think Katies and Jimmy’s Egg have nothing to worry about. Though I did like the coffee.
This is going to be more of a lunch spot for meeting friends for a quick bite nearby and we can’t get into one of the other places that are also nearby.
