The fried catfish was the best I ever had. Better than fried catfish I have tasted in Chicago, Il and Joliet, IL.. My salad was freshly delicious and left me wanting a second bowl. The hush puppies were lite golden with a soft crunch. Cooked to perfection!. I cannot wait to go to Pickles again when I'm back in town visiting.

This place is an iconic staple in Amory! We love this place! It is locally owned and operated as long as I can remember. My family has eaten there for years. We always go back. The food is always consistent and the people are friendly. We sometimes have a large group and they always accommodate us. Once you eat here you will be back!

A great place to stop for a quick bite. They have all the usual local drive-in food... Cheeseburgers, steak sandwich, catfish plates, etc. They also have a well stocked salad bar. Service is usually fast and friendly.

Warm welcome and greeting. I do not like ordering at the front window but it is what it is. The staff is friendly and patient. Food was good and hot. A waitress made sure we had what we needed to enjoy our meal.

Great little home-town restaurant. Reminded me of an old-school dairy bar. Order at the register, then they call your number to come get your tray with the food is ready. We had chicken tender plates (one with fries and one with baked potato). We both ordered the “small - 4pc tender plate”, but the tenders were really large and we each only ate 3 of them! Service was fast, and the sweet tea was extra good!

One of the best cheeseburgers in the area! Even when they are busy, you always get fast and friendly service and excellent food made-to-order!
