City Pork Kitchen & Pie Review

Went to the new location on Exchequer for lunch today. Been open for right at a month now--here's the Advocate article a little while back.

City Pork Kitchen & Pie

Walked in around 11:30 and the place was already about half full--by noon it was completely full. Very big size restaurant, or at least bigger than I was expecting, and surely the biggest of their three locations. We were seated and waitress was immediately at our service to ask for drink orders. They have specials each day of the week (and I'm assuming they don't change weekly because the picture of the special board on the Advocate article was identical to what I saw when I walked in).

Looks like the menu is much of the same as the Jefferson location as far as sandwiches, salads, and sides go. I decided to go with the Thursday special of Chicken Fried Steak (bottom right in photo--$12). Was topped with some sort of cream sauce that was on point--just the right amount of spice and great consistency--not that thick crap. Sides were the Mac n Cheese and Potato Salad--both very tasty.

Friends got the Big Pig sandwich topped with slaw with fries (top in the picture--$9) and Thursday special of Pig Platter (bottom left in the photo--$10) with Mac n Cheese and side salad. Side salad came after I took the pic but the bowl literally took up half of her tray--thing was huge for a side.

Everyone was impressed with their food and nobody was able to finish everything they received. Food arrived in just over 20 minutes and service was on point the whole time. Total time from walking in to walking out was about 50 minutes.

Overall a very successful trip of what is the first of many. They're open M-F 6am - 3pm--I assume because they're in Industriplex and wouldn't get much business outside of normal business hours--likely a very smart move by the owner. IMO, this is the best of the three locations food quality and quantity-wise.
