Dubuque Restaurant Guide

I used to eat there all the time when I was a kid, and now that I have moved back to the area 20 years later, I realized how much I missed the place. Pickel Barrel has all the chain sub shops beat hands down!

We went to the pickle barrell on main street for lunch yesterday and we were very happy with the whole experiance the service was fast and efficient as well as friendly and the sandwiches were dynamite!! my son had a walking taco and he said it was the best one he ever had!!

Went there for subs last night and they were out of ham, bacon, and pickles! We were very discusted with this and the steak sub was not even offered to us warm and there was nothing on it!

Hey, this is a great little place to get some subs. Ya know, if they're actually ever open. I show up at the Key West location at 8:00 on a Monday, when according to the business hours which are located right on the window, they're supposed to be open until 9:00. Guess what? They're closed! I guess that's the part of the business they just don't get, if they're supposed to stay open until 9:00, they should stay open until 9:00. I've been in there before so the food and value and cleanliness are great. But since I couldn't even dine there because it closes before most grade schools do, I have to give this place just 1 Star, at least until they expand their hours to the crowd that eats dinner later at night...

I MISS THIS PLACE SO MUCH. OTHER SUBS JUST DONT COMPARE

WOW the best subs i have ever had in my life. If you haven't had the subs before, then you are retarded. The service is great, the food is awesome, and it is way better then any other deli place in the world.

Best subs EVER eaten, and we've tried dozens of kinds. All meats are from local packing plant so its really fresh. The bread is the best! It's kind of a small place, so don't plan on having a big party there, but you could always get them to cater! We NEVER miss Pickle Barrel Subs when we come to town on our yearly vacation!
