Customer Reviews
This place had been on the top of my list that ive been wanting to try for a long time. Finally glad I got around to trying it cause it did not disappoint. Really good quality meat, and the fries are really good too. Definitely coming back
Slow fast food? More like full-speed flavor. The Oinkster absolutely hit my cravings out of the park — my pulled pork sandwich was juicy, tender, and Carolina-sauced perfection, and my partner’s grilled chicken sandwich packed big-time flavor from top to bottom. The fries? Two types of crispiness: classic Belgian beauties and over-the-top piggy fries smothered in cheese, onions, and creamy sauce — both dipped in their addictive house ketchup. Everything just delivered exactly what it promised — no frills, all flavor. One bite in and you’ll know this is Eagle Rock comfort food done
I'm giving it 3 stars because the pastrami sandwich I had there was disappointingly average. We were one of the first customers after it opened, and I wonder if I got pastrami from the day before? The service was good, and the vibe was nicely casual. If I go back, I'll try one of their burgers.
What you want in a pastrami is ribbons of fat and a good with the grain cut. That way you get nice strong tendons to catch in your teeth as entirely strips of pastrami get pulled out of the sandwich into your lap since pastrami cut with the grain has some real strength - like a good belt! $20 for the most unique with the grain high fat pastrami cut.
The Oinkster is ultimately so swine! Stopped in for shakes and saw the various sandwiches, beer and wine available. Impressed by the staff and quality of ingredients and taste. The Ube shakes are hands down our favorite and are large enough to split. The Oinkster pastrami sandwich is deliciously smoked and seasoned to perfection. To say it's large is an understatement and can split to satiate the pickiest of carnivores. Overheard kids raving about the burger and fries so I'll have to save that for another trip to LA.
