I've been a reader of reviews for years but never actually written one. But after reading what seemed like a horribly unfair review, I felt I needed to balance it with our family's raves. We Love The Oinkster! We love the french fries, we love the Pastrami and the pulled pork, the hamburgers are fantastic, and the Aioli dipping sauce is out of this world! The sandwiches are big enough to share so that you can have room to fill up on the best fries ever. Did I mention that the Beet/Spinach Salad is a delightful healthy option on their ""specials"" menu? The place isn't perfect, however. The milkshakes are good, but not great. The brownies are way too dry, so we go for the PB&J cupcakes now when we want a sweet treat. But the core menu of the place is solid and dependable.
What makes the Oinkster the family favorite is Manager Josh, who goes out of his way to make sure our dining experience is perfect. The crowd is delightfully eclectic and between the indoor tables, the outdoor tables and the low bench seating, there's a comfort level for everyone.
When we leave the kids at home, the grown-ups enjoy the beer selection which seems to have been carefully picked to go with the food. No place is flawless, but we're almost always leaving very happy and very full!
Pros: Fabulous Food and Manager Josh
Cons: Dry Brownies
