Since we lost 'Jay's' on Santa Monica and Virgil I have been on the hunt for that perfect burger experience. ”

The Oinkster is a slow- food joint. ”

just went back to find the the pastrami was still awesome, but the fries had gone cold and the tables left greasy. ”

The fries are good as well and they come with a yummy garlic aioli. ”

As mentioned in other reviews, the Belgian fries are a must-order-- extra crispy but not too oily-- and excellent with their homemade ketchup and garlic mayo. ”

The idea of "slow fast food," while not original, is well executed here and the service is friendly and good. ”
- “
Although it is in a completely different realm of cuisine than his other two restaurants, he has managed to twist the out dated concept of fast food with a more modern concept of slow cooking classics. ”
- “
The only downside (if it even is one) is that the service has been slow each time I have been, not overly slow but just not as fast as you might imagine with a walk up counter (even when we were the only 2 customers it took about 10 min to get the food). ”
- “
When my roommate told me that this was the best burger in LA, I was like, ok, sure. ”

recently brought a guest over from North Carolina and she loved the pulled pork sandwich, it reminded her of home. ”

They get soaked with the juicy burgers. ”
- “
do think that for as much as they put into the outside appearance (nice modernistic take on the old fast food place that was there) the inside appearance is cold and unappealing. ”
- “
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. ”

And it is "slow" fast food, so be prepared to wait a little bit for your food. ”

Just the meat alone is tasty but you can get it with Grueyer cheese. ”

Their pastrami sandwiches are one of the 5 best sandwiches I've ever had in my life. ”

Seriously, the Oinkster's pulled pork sandwich is mindblowing, and I'm not usually a fan of cole slaw or onions (both of which come standard with a generous heap of tender, flavorful pork). ”
