Tasty but pretty expensive food truck. Came across this in Port Moody by Rocky Point Park…read more They only really have a few items. Of course everyone goes for the brisket. I must say it was nice and juicy. With that said, wow it's pricy. The "Vancouver's Best Cornbread" is a pretty tall claim, but this place delivers. The cornbread is suprisingly moist and sweet. Of course, try not to think about the ingredients. Definitely worth trying. Pretty solid food if one has deep enough pockets. Recommended.

Maybe it's better in the prairies but here I've find it hard to find either beef or pork cooked right with most it either being dry, unseasoned or undersmoked. The big plus for Rosie's is they actually seem to know how to cook brisket using fatty cuts and smoking it long enough to breakdown the connective tissue without it getting mushy. It could have been smoked even longer but it was probably the best I've had in BC. They don't have burnt ends and at least the server I dealt with didn't seem to know what they are. They at least know you never serve Texas BBQ with sauce on it. It's expensive for BBQ which seems to be standard in Canada with 18 dollars for just 1/2 a pound but it's good enough I'll pay it. They didn't ask if I wanted lean or fatty which is traditional in BBQ joints. I found the pulled pork to not be as good. It didn't have the flavour or moistness that I expect especially compared to the South Carolina pulled pork that I prefer and eat when visiting family there. Also it looks more chopped than pulled. If that is Vancouver's best cornbread I'm guessing the bar for cornbread is pretty low too. It's too sweet. Cornbread is a savory dish. The moistness was good. This would be bog standard Q in Austin or Charleston but for Vancouver it's very very good.

Good place for a relaxed night out!

Even after waiting and asking for help, they say they are busy. Obviously, not a service oriented business. This has happened twice so it's not an occasional occurrence.

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.

A…read morefriend pointed out their all day happy hour from Monday to Thursday so we decided to check it out yesterday. Upon arrival, it was quiet and we were one of the few tables inside. For a group of four, we settled for quite a few items as we wanted variety. My friends also ordered the Hog Shack Caesar which is a Bourbon twist on a regular caesar. Apart from some standard cocktails, they also had additional happy hour beer/wine specials. For regular menu, we settled on the Jurassic platter to get a good variety as well as the brisket plate. Within the platter, the dino bones and the chicken leg stood out the most. The dino beef bones had good flavour and texture. To my surprise, the chicken was super moist and aromatic. The pork ribs and pulled pork were okay in our opinion. As for the sides, I always love corn bread so that didn't miss, but the other sides didn't impress me - I was especially hoping for yummy cole slaw but it was a bit bland. They had a feature side which was a fennel sausage pasta salad, but it came out piping hot which confused us. Unfortunately, the beef brisket plate was dry (as mentioned in the other reviews). I also picked the spring roll special which was a pleasant surprise as they were delicious! They came out piping hot and the filling was flavourful and not too salty. Unfortunately I did not snap a picture of the actual happy hour menu items (oops), but we ordered the brussel sprouts and pulled pork alfredo pasta. The portion size was excellent and I especially like the pasta and found the combination of pork and penne delicious. Needless to say, this was far too much food for 4 people and we left with an extra 2 people's worth of food. Hog shack is great to satisfy your cravings if you're in the area, but real Southern food lovers would likely find it hard to eat the bbq here. However, I still enjoyed the meal and service overall and immediately went home after to enter food coma. :-)

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

I forgot that that charge for refills on soda. I asked for a non alcohol beer and they were out of the kind I wanted. The place was busy. After dinner it was over 20 minutes before the table was cleared. Always had to hunt down the server for anything extra. I hand the lamb shoulder which was over cooked compared to last time. It was stringy and boney with more fat on it than last time. I ordered the zucchini sticks as an appy and they were hot and plenty for four of us. 2 of us ordered the lamb. I was disappointed and the other person said it was ok. Greek lemon chicken was plentiful and about half was taken home. Lots of garlic on the prawns, hot and very tasty and enough for the person. The ambiance was no different than before. It could have been an off night and I know it was busy but I felt we were ignored.
