Overall a really tasty cheat meal option in Eagle Rock. They have been open for many years and have served many hungry diners. They specialize in pastrami, but also have burgers, shakes, and chicken. You can dine in, but most choose to do takeout. There are about five parking spaces, otherwise it will be street parking. It’s a 4/5 for me because there are many other burger places I enjoy more, there are other deli options that I would prefer to get pastrami from, however I would definitely return to try other dishes.
Tonight we tried the Oinkster Pastrami, which was very good, although I like my pastrami a little, more seasoned and crispier. It comes on a French roll as well, and not like the usual rye or other types of bread it is typically served with. We also ordered the 1/3lb Burger and it was very good, although I would not call it a unique burger, and there are many others around LA I prefer more. We also tried the Cluckster with cheese added and that was my favorite of all the things we ordered. I would definitely go there again for that sandwich specifically. The Chili Cheese Fries are also worth ordering and we’re probably my second favorite thing that we ordered.
Overall a really great cheat meal, although each of the items we ordered have better versions from other places around LA.
Super tasty burgers and milk shakes ! They were out of tater tots but the fries were good too. The spicy ketchup I was great and was glad they had jalapeños available. There’s plenty of seating outside on the patio and inside too. Lots of parking too so this place definitely has a 90s fast food vibe. Workers were friendly and food was great! High chairs available.
Been coming here since it opened. Love their food and it tastes great, but I feel like the bread just gets a bit too soggy by the juice of their sandwiches and burgers. It's the only detraction from an otherwise excellent food experience.
My cousin recommended this place, very good, I had the Pastrami sandwich, and my wife a burger, she ate the whole, meaning she liked it.
I think about the Oinkster Pastrami sandwich at least once a day. It's simply the best.

The food was decent but a little expensive. I ordered a fried chicken sandwich, it was juicy and flavourful. We ordered the chili cheese tater tots. I didn't really like the chili, but the tots were crunchy and delicious. I would like to try the pastrami next time.
Will this restaurant make you happy? I don't know, that's kind of a personal question, but it has a much higher chance of making you happy than any other place I know.
The pastrami is awesome, the tots are phenomenal, and they even make their own ketchup. I make sure to visit every time I'm in town. It may not extend my lifespan, but it makes me happy! Find out for yourself.
I've been going to the Oinkster since they opened so when i heard they were having their 16th anniversary and featuring the Pork Adobo Burger, i was all in for it. As part of the celebration, they offered a free beer which was some kind of light-bodied lager served in a sweet 16 cup. Very cute. Very appreciated. The only negative was that they omitted the sauce from my burger for some reason and it would have really upped the flavor profile. Still not a bad sandwich - big, meaty, porky - all the things a place called the Oinkster should highlight. This is a top of the line joint and I'm hoping to be able to make it to their next major milestone (25th maybe?). In the meantime, I'll keep going back as often as possible.
My once a year pig out, moved out here in the area and had to revisit my old favorite the royale a foodie treat and a feast to behold!
Great friendly service.
If you love pastrami, great place to try out.
Slow fast food done right. 👌
This place is pretty good. Burgers are tasty and the pastrami is good quality but a little dry. They have their own sauce mixtures like a chipotle ketchup. Loved it. The tots and fries are really good. Crispy and well seasoned. The outside seating is nice, just watch out for mosquitoes. Other than that I recommend this place. Better than your average burger joint.
