first off .... who sells thigh meat as "tenders" or as they call them "tendies"…read more this is a huge scam. I have eaten chicken tenders for 40+ years .... never have I had them served to me as thigh meat the thigh meat was from a low end source a very poor and cheap cut of meat, fatty, greesy, un-seasoned and just plain gross. the sandos ..... again thigh meat ........ any "chicken sandwich" you order from a restaurant is breast meat unless they make it clear. again, I have 40+ years of experience here. spice .... non existent and had a faint curry taste to it. this is not nashville hot chicken. breading .... gross ... no flavor. no crunch. straight up gross. the comeback sauce .... so gross. also ... in the photos on their instagram the sandos .... have coleslaw in addition to the pickles and sauce. both our sandos came with no coleslaw. what the heck? I have had nashville hot chicken in toronto, los angeles, vancouver and nashville. this place does not at all taste like that profile. also not one of the places I have been to served gross thigh meat instead of breast meat. we spent $40 and had a couple bites all of it went in the trash. and even then I felt indigestion for hours. gross all over. this is the worst restaurant experience I have had in over 5 years. do yourself a favour and drive into vancouver and go to downlow chicken, frying pan chicken or cream pony. these places all have real traditional nashville hot chicken sandos. do yourself a favour and avoid this place!!

My friend said "hey, wanna listen to some heavy music while having a good meal?" I wasn't sure of…read morethe music but I would never say no to good food. Last night my 3 friends and I visited this awesomely eclectic, dimmed lighted little dive on East Hastings Street. If you don't like heavy metal music then still run to this awesome little place to enjoy delicious homemade food. Service was prompt and friendly. Truly enjoyed looking at their decor of vintage animals and rock/heavy music. We had: Jackalopes Lager, Strathcona Pilsner and Pickle Back (Canadian Club Rye with a shot of pickle juice). My friend said the pickle juice made the Pickle Back surprisingly refreshing. The Rib Splitter: The blackberry bbq sauce ribs are insanely good. The meat just falls off the bone. The vegetables were seasoned perfectly and cooked to perfection. Loved the hot skillet that kept the mashed potatoes temperature hot/warm. Hands down, the best ribs in town. Bake-up the Dead: breaded chicken breast served with mashed potatoes and vegetables. The chicken was seasoned well and juicy. The house made gravy added another dimension and depth to the already perfectly cooked chicken. Veggie Burger: my friend said it was an excellent veggie burger in that the homemade patty was moist and very filling. Wouldn't miss beef eating this veggie burger. Bead pudding: 2oz of bourbon solidified this light and sweet dessert. My friends liked the bread pudding but I didn't as I usually don't like sweet bread. Hoping For another option on my next visit. There are vegan options so filling a range of eaters. Will be back to try the nachos and another supper meal. Tips: The tables in the back are not as loud with music compared to the front. Hastings Street is now all meter parking so go to the side streets. Weekend open till midnight.

Tried many places and porkmafia was on the recommendation list. Preorder and then went to their truck location and picked up my food. Paid around 30 bucks for 1 lb of smoked beef brisket. Long story short : meat was juicy (it was cold when I got it btw) , very thick cuts ( 3 pieces for a whole lb) while thinner ones would have been much better , not a lot of flavours in the meat itself. I ve tried worse but for sure I ve tried much better. It s was a fine brisket. Would I go back ? Dont think so

Special deals like bottomless lemonade and iced tea is available in the afternoon for dine in customers. Platters are great way to taste the meats of your choice. We ordered bbq pulled pork and grilled chicken with the side of coleslaw salad , corn bread and bowl of beans. Everything was super delicious. So, if you are not hungry then this would be sufficient for two people else you can order two platters for a tummy full meal. All kinds of Sandwiches are also available with chicken, beef , pork or fish. Small bar with mainly beer wine and hard liquor options. Nothing fancy though. Would like to go again and try some more.

We ordered the Char Su Pork for an appetizer, I had the steak and my husband had the fresh fish. For desert the peach cobbler. The carrots and potatoes on my steak plate were very yummy. The bad... The Char Su Pork I would not recommend. I had no idea that it was bbq pork (served cold) and the plate did not make sense. It hit my stomach like a lead balloon. The steak was a little underwhelming. The dessert I would not order, it was total cinnamon overload. The ugly... No live jazz! We were looking forward to that.

I visited…read morea few weeks ago and tried a unique hot chocolate item, and I revisited for the new limited item for the festival. #139 Maple Nutty Bliss Hot Chocolate - This decadent treat combines the deep, roasty flavors of maple pecan beer, creamy cashew purée, and the classic warmth of hot cocoa. First, maple pecan beer is reduced to a syrupy sweetness, enhancing the chocolate with nutty, caramelized notes. Then, smooth puréed cashews are stirred in, adding a creamy texture that balances the rich chocolate base. Served with velvety squash purée swirled into a rich traditional vanilla custard in a buttery croissant cup. The hot chocolate's cashew nut puree was very unique. I stirred it well, and it made the drink even creamier. Before stirring, I tasted a bit of the puree, and it was so nutty, flavorful, and had a great texture. The hot chocolate itself wasn't too sweet, with a subtle maple pecan beer flavor. The squash puree into vanilla custard in the croissant cup was delicious. The vanilla custard melted like lava, and the croissant cup was crispy. I hope I can have it again, even though it's a limited item. Service was very friendly and attentive. It is a very popular brewery, and I will revisit to get a beer again.
