The sandwiches are state and maybe even “world renowned”. All are large and made to order with bread baked daily and fresh ingredients prepared daily. Customers come back year after year even after moving to other states. They bring their families and friends to experience a Pickle Barrel sandwich.
In the 90’s a new location was opened on main street. It can be found at 209/211 East Main in the Rockin’ R Bar. The Pickle Barrel down town specializes in sandwiches, soups, a few salads and of course ice cream. Also from 5:00 pm till close they offer nachos and quesadillas.
