Pulled pork and pastrami offerings here are really good... juicy, tender and good portions. They make custom burgers of the day that's worth checking out... but sometimes it seems they overdo it with the different combos and end up overwhelming your taste buds.

It is a nice place to hangout.
I tried their pulled pork sandwich yesterday, which I think had a good quality meat. However, I didn't like meat's seasoning.
Will try their pastrami sandwich next time.

Delicious sandwiches (especially pastrami), fun beer list and nice outdoor patio dining (it also has inside). Prices are reasonable, and it's a good hang. Recommended!

Good burger - juicy and good size - he fries are just okay, not a lot of taste. Sit on the patio if it is a nice day - very relaxing!

One of my favorite burgers in town. I’m a burger purist so I generally stick with the basic cheeseburger. The beef is super fresh and flavorful. Fries are also hard to resist. The chicken salad is pretty good too.

Every time I go to The Oinkster, I promise myself to order something other than their pastrami or pulled pork; needless to say, I fail every single time!

Pulled pigs is the best kind of sandwich. Those pigs are tasty!

Not bad for Lunch.
I checked in 11:45 a.m. on a Friday yep long line, waited about 10-15 mintutes.
they have a good selection of food and the workers were friendly.
They make a pretty good cheeseburger. cooked right, juicy and fresh - 8 out of 10.
fries not so good - 4 out of 10.
I really liked sitting out on the patio, and the wait was not real long for the food - another 10 mintues.. I will be back.

Cool and happening. Was there for lunch and while there's only a limited number of vegan items, I enjoyed my lunch of garden salad and fries. Absolute plus is the outside area with lots of tables. This is a friendly place with reasonable prices. My lunch partner raved about the pastrami sandwich.
Glad we went early for lunch as the place was filling up fast around noon.

Pastrami is one of those things that I have grown to expect to be the same...or at least relatively so no matter where I go. It tends to be a little too salty, a little too sinewy.
Then Oinkster shows up and RUINS PASTRAMI FOR ME! Actually it ruins pastrami for everyone else.
I think they were on the food network. THey cure their own pastrami and make, among other things, the Oinkster sandwich - gruyere cheese, dressing....the pastrami is tender and juicy and NOT overwhelmingly salty. I urge you to order this sandwich with some belgian fries.
I was amazed at how AMAZING something pedestrian and boring like pastrami could taste, you will too!
