Reviews Fickle Pickle Restaurant

2107/01/15
On our way back home we stopped at the Fickle Pickle in Stouffville for dinner. It is a medium-sized eatery with a family-style menu, plus some featured Greek food. It was just after 6 pm, and the restaurant was mostly empty, so getting a table was not a problem. We were served by an older gentleman, who seemed to move pretty fast, despite his years.

SWMBO chose the Chicken Parmigiana. What arrived was a huge portion of chicken alongside a pretty large portion of spaghetti. When the server brought the plate he smiled and assured her that he would provide a container for any leftovers. She decided then and there to have only half, and to take the rest home. The chicken was reasonably tender, and was smothered in melted mozzarella. The pasta could have bees drained a bit more before plating. She's had worse, and she has had better.

I asked the server if the Moussaka was good, and he said "it is always good," so that's what I ordered. It came with Greek Salad and Garlic Bread. The salad and bread portions were large enough for the two of us to share. The moussaka was an average size. It was tasty, and the bechamel was good, but I prefer my eggplant cooked until it is mostly mushy, and for me this was a bit underdone.

So the food was average, but the service was very good.

I've been going to the Pickle for over 30 years and have never had a bad meal there yet. Even when my wife and I moved out of the area we still come back occasionally to eat. Their all day breakfasts are the best and I've made an eggs benedict addict out of a friend of mine. Its just a great little place to eat; good food at very reasonable prices.

Good specials, good home cooked meals. Needs fixing up inside but true fickle pickle lovers look past that. Best eggs benedict i have ever had!
