Is the Pickle a good place to eat? Every time I go in there there is an hour wait.... Not sure if it is the beer that's good or the food. Always end up over at jimmy johns. Please advise.

Not great, but not bad, typical sport bar food imo, good beer deals here and there. (I believe tuesdays and Fridays) are the best deals.
Surprisingly enough I have never had a wait, though I typically do not go on gameday. My lab is close enough for a quick lunch or drink post work.
The Parthenon or Taco Bell was the place to go for nourishment when I was there. Quincey's, Nicks, Edo's (aka Stabalizer), Pete's were the main places(besides Harrys) for the alcohol fix.
Oooohhh all you youngsters!!! Anyone besides me on here remember the Pig & Whistle or the Loose Caboose???
Pig was a happening place late 60's to early 70's. Peanuts on the floor.
I went once as a student back in early 80's and a couple of times when my kids were at Purdue recently. That's it.
I only went into Harry's one time, didn't know anybody and left. My crowd was not into Harry's.
This was 1968-74.
Was the loose caboose a strip club?
No...lol! It was a bar just next to the original Pub as one crossed the bridge from West Laf into Laf....The front entrance was a red train caboose that had been expanded into a bar and pizza place...The football players use to like to hang out there..
Sounds like a great place. Sorry I missed it. I was there in the later half of the 80's.
It's a decent place. I worked there for a couple months and I would say the food is pretty good, especially the fried pickles.
One thing I'll point out is that the people who who BOH aren't the most sanitary

Voted last year as #1 College bar in the country....You really shouldn't miss it next time you return to West Laf...
