The Pickled Owl is a great addition to Main Street in Hurleyville, NY.

Evan and I (Brynn) have strong roots in Sullivan County. Evan, a Liberty native, and I, born and raised in Hurleyville, both have large families in the area. After we married in 2008, we knew we wanted to stay close to family and bought our first home in Hurleyville. Opening a restaurant was never a question of if, but a question of when.

Wow, oh wow. The best and most underrated restaurant i've ever been to in my life. Staff did an outstanding job and were very nice and welcoming. Had many gluten free options as well and the staff was extremely accommodating. Went back multiple times during my stay nearby. Would 100% recommend anyone in the area to make sure you try the Pickled Owl

WOW!!! The food at this little restaurant is absolutely delicious!!! It's a little hidden gem in a small, sleepy, upstate town...but BAMMM, this place hits all the right spots!!! The pickled eggs and seasonal pickle dish was drool worth! The egg was nice, has a good tough, springy exterior and perfect sour, puckered lips inducing goodness. The chicken liver pate was beyond perfect. The deviled eggs did not disappoint. I'd come back here just for the drinks and those snacks alone! The entrees were equally yummy and huge portions. We over-ordered and over-ate. Probably should have stopped

Absolutely the worst experience at a restaurant ever.. would have Given 0 stars if it were an option. Had a party of 12. When we walked in we were told that we could sit but not order food until 1245 even though they open at 12 and the other 3 tables inside had food. Plus they weren't even busy.. After waiting for 25 + minutes we asked if a waitress could at least get our drinks. Finally one comes over and takes our order. After another 15 minutes I walked up to the bar and she had not even started our drinks yet as she was just standing there. Finally we said that we were leaving and they acted

Had a very odd dinner here a few weeks ago. First, we walked in without a reservation and there were 3 tables seated. We were told it'd be a 20 minutes wait for a table. When we requested a table outside, we were told it'd be an hour wait. We were seated 2 minutes later outside and there were 2 empty tables besides. OK...
I asked a few basic questions to the server, ie what is the difference between your 2 veggie burgers? What are the current toppings on your deviled eggs?
She couldn't answer any of them. Then, for a gastropub with a relatively extensive beer selection

Extremely disappointed with service and food quality. We normally love it here but last night we waited over 20 minutes to order drinks and appetizers and then it took forever for them to arrive and the order was not correct for our table. Then it took forever for our dinner order to be taken and when the food arrived it was kinda warm and again not the quality it used to be. No one apologized and the staff acted like they didn't care! We will not be back and we will no longer recommend to others!

We stopped here to get a beer and some appetizers and they have a wonderful menu. They have a really nice patio out back with outdoor seating. The zucchini meatballs were heavenly, a must have! I'm not a fan of feta but the watermelon salad was fresh and a delicious blend of flavors! Highly recommend!

There is a new salmon special on their summer menu. It is a winner, so creative, well presented and most of all delicious! The outdoor dining has a quaint country ambiance and the staff are so friendly, attentive and accommodating. Had a delightful evening dining at The Pickled Owl. Bonus: Went early enough to take a nice stroll on the nearby rail trail after dinner. Divine!

We had dinner on their deck during a break from the thunderstorms, and it was delicious! The house-made pretzel with cheddar cheese sauce was so good - the sauce was clearly made with real cheddar cheese, not bright orange stuff, and I wanted to lick the container it came in it was so good. The seasonal pickles were great fun - my favorite was the pickled eggs! Speaking of eggs, the home-made tater tots with a duck egg on top was lovely. Basically everything was good, the waitress was very friendly and helpful, the beer was delish, and it was fun to watch the groundhog as we ate! Will definitely

Went for the first time, last night (won't be the last, as I was checking out all of the dishes coming out of the kitchen, that meatloaf looked delish! & many are on my must try list!)
I had the house blend beef burger with cheddar & bacon. The burger, OMG!! Cooked perfectly medium as ordered, juicy & had so much flavor that the ketchup was almost an insult to it, so did not use. This may be the first burger that I did NOT put ketchup on! The bacon could have been crispy, though was still delicious. Fries, also, crispy & had so much flavor on their own that they needed no

I cannot say enough about this amazing place and wonderful family-friendly establishment. It's a gastropub and many might not know what that means if you look up on their website about them you will understand what a gastropub is and what they are trying to achieve with their food wine and spirits carefully created, heartfeltly made delectable Delights that your palette just wants to savor.

Not impressed with the food at all. Service was ok nice atmosphere BUT food was not good burger tasted "funny" overdone medium fries were cold the blue cheese I added tasted like ammonia the bun was stale and the appetizer was not worth eating. The Cesar salad had way to much dressing with a weird lemon taste??
Fritter dessert was soggy and way to greasy. All in all maybe a nice place to have a beer. Eat dinner elsewhere!

Had a great meal here. I started with the homemade pretzel followed by the trout as my entree. The pretzel was delicious and the fish was perfectly cooked, though the purple grain (I forget exactly what it was - some type of rice) was a little underdone. Still, the fish was amazing and I'd definitely recommend it. I also had a vodka gimlet, but it tasted like it had some sort of artificial or maybe just very cloying syrup in it. Friendly service and live music some nights!
