OINKSTER feels like it's on the border of being a corporate fast food joint when you walk in the door. Things are a little too white and clean to believe there is some good BBQ inside their walls. And even the tray your food comes on reeks of corporate chain evil. But when you sit down with your Pulled BBQ Pork Sandwich and take a bite, you realize these guys know what they are doing. It's not food for the light at heart, or stomach. My meal alone of the sandwich, fries and a drink could do me fine into the evening. You just have to look at the people coming in and out of the place to know that no one is dieting here.
The food is pretty low in sheckels and there is a fairly large menu. There are healthy choices there, like Chopped Salads and Rotisserie Chicken but if you were with me I would suggest ordering something more akin to a Cardio-Vascular nightmare, like fries and a burger. A chopped salad has it's place and time and I don't think this is it.
WELL?
I like it. I would come back. It's in a section of Eagle Rock, known for food that isn't subtle -- Casa Bianca, Blue Hen... So come hungry and don't be shy.
