Pickle Barrel

Always a must have when in Billings. I may have moved far away, but I will always come back for some PB!

Great place if you love sandwiches and salads. They do either cold or hot sandwiches and they make good salads. My favorite is the Kens Special. I’m bummed they don’t have wi-​fi and there TVs are always turned off, but there food makes up for it. Don’t forget your free Pickle!

Love the sandwiches. I usually rotate between the cheesesteak, bobcat, and chicken salad. They are very filling and always taste delicious. Only complaint is sometimes the service isn’t the greatest. I’ve received a wrong order more than once. But the sandwiches are worth it so I will definitely be coming back.

Tried Pickle Barrel for the first time with my family since it is Billings most famous sandwich shop. Service was great! Parking and finding a table during lunch was scarce. Tried their Dragon Slayer cold sandwich. Their sandwich tasted fresh but had way too much lettuce on it. We threw half the lettuce away for all of our sandwiches. It was a little too bready for me. My husband liked their pickles.

This is my favorite sandwich shop. The service is spot on. Chelsea is so sweet. The air is warm and friendly. Best sandwich place in Billings Montana!

I’ve lived in Montana my entire life and have gone to pickle barrel for many years! My husband and I absolutely love the cheese steaks! We moved to Florida 2 years ago and have yet to find a place that even comes close to being as tasty as pickle barrel! Every time we come home to visit we make sure to have a cheese steak before we leave town!

Have loved this place for years! They have great sandwiches and awesome soup. My favorite is the downtown chicken. So very yummy.

Love, love, love Pickle Barrel. The Big Sky Special is my fav! Huge sandwiches and awesome soup!

Philly Cheese Steak sammich is nom nom noommmm amazing! Just like the old philly cheese steak the PB on 13^th used to serve, before new ownership took over… and dare I say… killed it. RIP sammiches on 13^th. So for a hot sandwich, you won’t be disappointed with the PCS here!
I was a bit surprised at the poor customer service here tho… as I always recalled PB having an awesome chill environment. I was surprised with a mass of grumpy teenagers, that just couldn’t wait for me to leave. Lol.
The kids seem to do the bare minimum for taking my order, blandly staring at me as I chose my sandwiches from the menu, no kind recommendations or anything, not a single hint of a smile the whole time. Then beyond accepting my order, they basically acted like we weren’t even there after that.
And I have to add for hygiene reasons, that I was bothered by the grooming of 2 of these employees. 1 teen girl had very long hair, that was severely messy as if she just stepped out of bed. Then she had it very loosely piled on top of her head into an almost messy bun. Besides looking like a complete slob… I would rather that much loose hanging hair not be around my food prep.
And also, 1 young man had a full sized beard. Like a duck dynasty /​hipster beard, lmao. Anyways, he did NOT have a beard hair net over all that facial hair while I watched him make sandwiches. Neither did the ragamuffin birds nest hair girl.
I thought hair nets were a food prep requirement in the state of Montana? Or at least a common sense thing if u have an abnormal amount of hair just hanging out there… ready to fall into food…
Summery. The Philly cheese steak is amazing. And the employees are crass and aloof and severely lacking customer service. And hair hanging out everywhere in the kitchen. Boom.

First time trying this place. Sandwiches were huge! We all ordered half sandwiches and still went home with over half left! Mom got the bbq chicken and her only complaint was that the sauce wasn’t very flavorful. Will be back!

Went to check out this place today and was not impressed as we had hoped we would be. We both got the special of the day which was the Turkey. We were thinking as we ate and watched everyone else eat that the hot sandwiches were the way to go.
The turkey seemed very rubbery and processed. Had to remove half the bread on the sandwich as this was all you tasted.
It’s great that there is a bucket of pickles for free, but maybe they should fill it. When we asked for this to be done the girl at the counter seemed very put out to have to go do this.
When back in the area I am not sure this is a place that I would come back to.

Fresh bread and good quantity. Love the pickle barrel by the drink fountain !

This place is amazing! The sandwiches are HUGE and tasty! I ordered a regular and couldn’t even eat half and the soup was so good also!

I’ve heard about this place for years and finally had an opportunity to come here, the food was good and very reasonable priced, also they had all you can eat pickles

We stopped here for lunch as we were travelling through on I-​94. The service was meh. The girl taking our order just sort of stared blankly at us and entered our requests.
We had 2 young kids with us and there was no kids menu, per se. However, when we got our sandwiches my son’s was smaller than the rest of ours and was on the bill as a ¼ sandwich. Wish I would have known that was an option, I would have gotten it for my daughter too. The sandwiches are huge, even a half portion was more than I could eat.
There was nothing special about them. Pretty basic, bland sub sandwiches. I’d pass on this restaurant.

Who the heck doesn’t love Pickle Barrel?! You can almost go to any location and the food is always amazing, but not every single one has such top notch, caring, and compassion owners, who seriously will go above and beyond to make sure you are have the best experience ever and provide a such a fun atmosphere to hang out, or grab a quick bite.
I can honestly write this and say that if you swing into this one, you will truly be treated like family, and the genuine love that will go into the making and preparation of your food will make it taste better than any other location you have been to. Everyone likes to be liked, recognized, and appreciated in life and you get all of the above here.
Stop in. Enjoy, and make sure you say hi to Chelsea and Dan! They are two of the most awesome people you will meet and most definitely make your experience the best. I only wish I still lived in Billings… I would be a frequent diner for sure! I can’t wait to be back in B-​town this summer. BEST Pickle Barrel, ever! See you guys soon! :)

Fantastic food and great value for the price. The location is a bit interesting to get to but the atmosphere is fun and the food is fabulous! It’s worth the time to find and eat here!

Stopped in today for the first time since reopening. Sandwiches were just as good as we remembered and had been missing. Great, prompt service, very clean. We will be returning again and again. So nice to have them back. One thing I was concerned to overhear: one of the food preparers had dreadlocks and was rubbing her hands in her hair complaining that it was heavy and that she hadn’t done anything to it for four years. I was glad to see that she put on rubber gloves when working with food, but I wonder if she should even be around food preparation with that shaggy, dirty mess.

I love PB so much. Here is the bobcat. Freaking Re-​Donk! Basically 2 fistfuls of turkey and roast beef and tasty as hell.

Had a great lunch!
We got some sandwiches and chips, the food was hot and fresh, the pickles were really good, service was fast and friendly. There is plenty of seating and overall we had a wonderful time, definitely coming back again!
