Oink Away! It's a comfort fast food joint. Burgers, pastrami sandwiches, fries, shakes..you name it. It's kind of different but still has the same feel of a burger/diner joint. There's a parking lot. Prices are typical. Good clean fun.

Quality has gone down :( – It was pretty good in the beg. but the last 2 times I have gone the service was bad and the food (Burger and Pulled pork) was not as tasty as before. The pulled pork barely had any well pulled pork and the burger was bland and over cooked when it should of ben med rare. Hope the restaurant picks up its act as no one wants to pay their prices if the foods quality is not going to match.

not worth the hype – We've been there 3 times in the past 2 years. The "kids" behind the counter could care less. The pastrami, which has a great flavor is very fatty. When you ask if they can trim it, they just say no because it's all been sliced and is in a steam table behind the counter. Most places trim that huge hunk of fat off the brisket before slicing it, but not here. The ketchup containers were almost empty, so my son encountered an air pocket and got covered with ketchup when trying to get some out. The crew behin... read more

you've got to be kidding – it's not that cheap and the bbq is far below pat and oscars (which i consider pretty bad). did someone pay for this review? there is never a crowd there for a reason...it's just not that good compared to the selection you have all around that area.

Much Improved--now a favorite! – I have to admit, when Oinkster first opened, we were somewhat disappointed, but over the last 6 months or so, the food has just gotten better and better. The pastrami is made from high quality meat and is moist and very spicy. The cheese burgers are fabulous and you can even choose from a variety of cheeses. While I'd prefer thicker-cut french fries, the garlic-mayonaise dip is wonderful. They also have added a selection of beers on tap. And, if you even have room, their desserts are fun. It'... read more

Too Over Hyped – Pastrami was not all that. (very dry) The Hat is much better for pastrami. Fries were like In-n-out fries, nothing too special. Place is okay but not worth the steap prices for a city search "Cheap Eats" pick. The Chef has a restaurant called Max that's in the Valley. That's an upscale restaurant that is pricey however worth every penny. Not so much with the Oinkster.

Good. – The first time I came here I almost cried b/c the fries were soo good. Now as Ive broadened my selections Im still happy. The rotisserie chicken is really good (but I'd ask to make sure it is fresh out of the oven, its been dry a couple times) and so are there black beans. The pulled pork is of course the best, though. Yum!

Amazing burger and fries – Living only a couple miles away from Oinkster, I regret waiting so long to finally try it. Their burgers are the best burgers I've had from a fastfood restaurant and their garlic sauce perfectly complements their amazing belgian fries. I have to say it is a bit pricey, as you'll have to spend about $10 for a burger combo, so try going in between the 3-6pm M-F for their happy hour special. You can get their burger and fries for $4 which is a bargain. Their costumer service is excellent and the outdo... read more
