Time Out Los AngelesMay 13, 2015Once just a Burger of the Month, the house-made veggie burger is now a permanent menu item — and thank goodness, because it's delicious (and only $6). Farro gets top billing on the ingredient list.
John StevensonOctober 18, 2016The Oinkster pastrami is the bomb especially with their house sauces !!! Fantastic piggy fries .... root beer floats are the business as well... I am satisfied !!!
Los AngelesAugust 1, 2013Work up an appetite by exploring the hidden gems of Highland Park during NELAart's Second Saturday Gallery Night, then tackle the Oinkster's over-the-top burgers and pastrami.
JenniferNovember 3, 2014The Oinkster is my go-to here. Peppery pastrami, extra pickles... Make it a meal for $4 extra. The fries (with aioli!) are the best.
First We FeastAugust 3, 2014Each day of Burger Week, they do a special burger—anything from a Star Wars-themed burger, to a deconstructed Taco Bell burger, with the patty deep-fried in crushed Doritos. Read more
ErickaFebruary 11, 2014Best burgers and pastrami in Eagle Rock. Yummy fries & cupcakes make everything complete. Brand new interior has nice eat in areas & brand new flat screens. Worth the 10 minute drive from Pasadena.
Matt A.June 3, 2013For their burgers, you can't beat The Royale. A chili cheeseburger with pastrami AND bacon that appears monstrous and absurd, but is actually a delicious medley of flavors and textures.
Sean O'HaraDecember 31, 2014The Oinkster Pastrami is good. Piggy Fries and Chili Fries great. Awesome selection of craft beers, with a good rotation of new brews coming in all of the time.
Adrian PhillipsJuly 20, 2015First time visitors should try the Pulled Pork or Pastrami sandwiches. They come with a ton of meat piled in so prepare to be stuffed. Fries are ok, I stick to plantains and red cabbage for my sides.
Andrew RafnerJuly 26, 2015Veggie Burg is top shelf. Word to the wise, the Belgian Fries as-is are NOT veg-friendly. Ask for them to be prepared without the beef shortening.
Belgium fries w/ Garlic Alioli sauce..BOMB! Love their chopped chicken salad too. Nice beer selection. The fact that the patio is dog friendly is a huge plus for me :)
💋 KTMay 1, 2012Piggy Fries is a MUST. I've ube shake is to die for! My favorite is the classic burger with gruyere cheese and their garlic aioli sauce!
Lizzy SaxeDecember 22, 2014Pastrami sandwiches and the chicken with brie are fantastic. Also, check out the ube shakes for maximum happiness.- Chris EckeardJanuary 11, 2016Good food but prices are on the higher side. Most things are made in house including how the meats are prepared and condiments. Good beer.
Matt QuinnJanuary 27, 2013The Oinkster is featured on this new iPhone app for Diners Drive-ins and Dives. Has all other places on the show. Pretty cool. Check it out
There's a Happy Hourt Special Monday thru Friday from 3 to 6. Burger, frys and a drink under $8. They have great selection of beers. I go there often.
Joseph COctober 21, 2014Yes: Pastrami, Burgers & Fries BUT, what is missing from the tips is their Awesome Chicken!!! 🐓 Don't Miss Out on Their CHICKEN!!!👍
Arlyne D'AlessandroJuly 17, 2011Their roast pulled Chicken Salad Sandwich on foccacia bread was delicious, including their fries and homemade ketchup, yummm, I'd definitely go back and try the other stuff!
Lia ReconsalMarch 17, 2011Must haves:rotisserie chicken plate with rice and plantains/ube shake/pb and j cupcake...the pastramis are "just ok" and as for the piggy fries??ask for animal style well done!
FabFitFunDecember 1, 2011Get the pastrami sandwich (with gruyere) or the chicken with brie sandwich. They may also have some of the best fries around — with perfect crisp outsides and soft insides.
Abby PalarcaOctober 13, 2011Hi. So i saw the pics that ppl left here on foursquare and the fries with cheese on them look REALLY good! What is that called? If someone can help me out, that would be cool :)
Kyle FowlerJuly 30, 2015The atmosphere here is awesome. The smell just draws you in. Pulled pork is A+ and the fries are great too.
Today I'm getting Chinese chicken salad and piggy fries. Oh yeah, add the bottled coke! Great combination that gets you less guilty~
AD NysMay 28, 2012Bring snacks and drinks for the kids. No kids menu and there can be a 30min+ wait during busy times. Draft beer selection helps ease the wait.
The Oinkster Pastrami and Belgian Fries are to-die-for. Beer selection is pretty good too. Order the Ube Shake for your sweet tooth.
Brandon HoangDecember 10, 2017Oinkster pastrami is enough to feed a small army. Homemade chipotle ketchup is delicious
rogerallenwardMarch 18, 2016Great Reuben sandwich. And their house aioli is delicious on their fries.
DamonAugust 2, 2010Go to oinkster. Park on the street. Notice the Guy Fieri stencil. Order the Royale burger w/ gruyere, and a reg. Belgian fries w/ extra garlic aioli. Reward yourself with some local oat sodas.
Matt LewDecember 13, 2014You’ve never seen pastrami like this. Check out the new Hollywood location at 776 Vine St.
Get the house cured pastrami. That's the better pastrami sandwich.
The Carolina style pulled pork sandwich is the best in the west. Not to be confused with other types of BBQ, Carolina style is herbs & spices wig vinegar. My fave.
Claudia A.August 22, 2014I can't decide.. But please order the chili cheese fries. Just think of gourmet fast food going into this place.- Nina NMarch 3, 2014Yummy BBQ pulled pork sandwich and piggy fries. A little too packed. Had to fight over seats with other customers.
Josh TesslerNovember 24, 2011Get the Piggy Fries. The homemade thousand island is great. The ChipotleKetchup is definitely one of a kind, must get it!
Sarah KelsonSeptember 15, 2014They should do a chili dog, it would be fantastic. The chili fries are great!!
Jazz up your chili cheese fries by throwing some of their fantastic pastrami on top.- Great Belgian fries. The pulled pork sandwich is also delicious.
Pulled pork with extra caramelized onions. Look up "Oinkster" on YouTube and watch their segment on Diners, Drive-In's and Dives. Shows you how it's made. :)
Melissa NemethSeptember 13, 2012Love the seasonal pinacolada shake! Chicken salad sandwich and garlic ailoli and fries is a must try.
Kristen OrienMarch 11, 2013Come weekdays from3-6 for their happy hour special, burger and fries for $4.50 with drink purchase
