I will be coming back for my highlights: oysters, triple-cooked garlic fries, london fog milkshake. Eating here got me wondering why other places didn't take the time and care to triple cook the fries lol I have had duck wings before but I gotta say, these were a fairly big in size. I just wished there was a bit more sauce! BUT OVERALL, I would order it again.

Last evening we visited the Hog Shack for the first time. We wanted to try their bbq as a full…read moreexperience. We ordered their wing appetizer with their house bbq sauce and we agreed that their house bbq sauce was really toothsome and delicious. As the main we ordered their Jurassic platter which consisted of pulled pork, 2 Dino beef bones, a half rack of St. Louis ribs, 2x bbq chicken quarters, which all came with four sides of our choice: fries, Spanish rice, cheesy corn and 2 corn bread servings in muffin cups. All the meats were outstanding in their seasoning, fall off the bone ribs, including the chicken quarters which we found from other restaurants to be dry. But not here. Their fries were barely room temp, crinckly and dry, the Spanish rice was almost tasteless, the cheesy corn was very flavourful with just the right amount of spice from the jalapeños, and the corn bread muffins were warm but a bit on the sweeter side for my palate. The best corn bread I've ever had was from Memphis BBQ. We added an extra half rack of St. Louis ribs and a single bbq sausage to the platter to make we tried as many choices that they had. The Jurrasic platter was supposed for 2 but with the appetizer it easily served 3 with extras to take home! They had 3 daily choices of sausages available. I ordered their Tocino sausage which is their Filopino inspired cured sausage that also contained corn kernels inside which we found disapointing in flavour. We spoke to our waitress about the disappointment with our fries and Spanish rice and gave her our positive feedback on the bbq meats. She listened and shared our comments with the kitchen. The kitchen rewarded us with a complimentary dessert of their house made carrot cake with cream cheese icing served hot with whipping cream to share! This gesture redeemed themselves to us for the future, that they listen to their diners and would try to remedy their mistake. Verdict: 5/5 for bbq meats and 5/5 for service. The dining room was an open airy space with large windows facing the main street. The tables had enough space between each for private conversations. The room was nearly full while we there which is a positive sign of their popularity. They also sell their award winning rub and bottled bbq sauce to take home too. Reservations optional but appreciated. Cash and cards accepted.

Updated review…read more.. Still the best bbq around. Beautifully smoked. Sauced just right. Top notch cornbread. Deeply flavourful put beans, and decent corn. Loved the tap list. Loved the bourbon flights. Ambiance is great. Price point reasonable. However...... The manager (or the person I assumed was the manager) was hurried and terse. No rude or anything, just rushed. The servers were good. They had to check when I asked questions regarding vegetarian options - Which brings me to my only quibble... Hubby really wanted to go to Hog Shack for early Fathers Day. He remembered wonderful BBQ meals there in the past. One of my adult children is vegetarian though. I thought Hog Shack might be able to cobble a plate of sides for the vegetarian. We weren't expecting pulled jackfruit or pulled tofu or other options offered by places such as Slims (Vancouver) or Patina (Port Coquitlam). Our expectations were set reasonably low. My daughter ended up ordering the tater tot's, but asked that they not include the brisket topping. She ordered corn bread and a side of cooked veggies. The cooked veggies never came. The tarot tots (sans the brisket) were charged at FULL PRICE! I ended up asking for the veggies to be removed from the bill (they didn't forget to charge for it) and asked why the tater tots weren't reduced in price to reflect that no brisket was included. The manager ended up giving me a small container of brisket - which is fine, because I paid for it lol!! The gator tots came to over $23!!! Yeah - I would expect a reduction in price or the brisket on the side. I still tipped on the original bill - I wasn't expecting happy with our servers. Overall, I wasn't expecting "vegetarian friendly" but I also wasn't expecting "vegetarian hostile" Keep this in mind - if someone in your party doesn't eat meat - go to Slims or Patina. If everyone in your party is a raging carnivore - go at it at Hog Shack.

What we got: Korean BBQ - Korean style Honey beef ribs, and Garlic beef roll. Signature dish - Blaze Galbi Jjim - Braised beef back rib and ox rail, with potatoes carrot onion, rice cakes cheese. Chinese BBQ - Signature beef skeweres and Signature lamb skewers. Chinese BBQ was very decent. It was't too spicy which I liked, and meat texture was juicy and soft. Korean style honey beef rib was so tender and melting in my mouth. It was really great! Garlic beef roll was ok, very soft and tasted fine. And signature item Blaze Galbi Jjim was presented with fire flame by staff. It was definitely instagram worthy presentation. Not only presentation, but taste was very great.. Ox tail and back rib were super tender. Soup was mild and delicious. It was very good item which I highly recommend. Oveall, we really enjoyed dining at Blaze BBQ.
