The Hog Shack Cookhouse

It's been a while since Michael and I has gone out to eat. Out of a random thought today, Michael suggested we go to The Hog Shack Cookhouse on 160-3900 Bayview St. in Steveston Village.

Fish Tacos

The ambiance was like a classic country style steakhouse. I have always passed the place but never thought I would give it a try. The menu was the usual steakhouse affair. I try to not eat beef too much and try to cut that out of my diet, so I ordered the Fish Taco, $12, that arrived with a light salsa on it and a mixed green salad on the side. It was a decent taco, but the tortilla wrap tasted kind of stale and the fish was a little too crunchy to my liking - to the point that the fish was a little dry. But other then that, it wasn't bad. The sweetness of the salsa balanced out the dryness. I didn't pay too much attention to my mixed green salad, it was a little overdressed, so I had just eaten the bits of cucumber and nibbled on Michael's side dishes.

Hog Shack Baby Back Ribs

As for Michael, he likes meat as much as the next guy. Beef, lamb, pork, you name it Michael will eat it. This time, Michael ordered the Hog Shack Baby Back Rib, $17. He said his ribs were very filling and very meaty. He enjoyed  his side dishes, and told me the mashed potatoes were filled with herbs and tasted good. As for the yam fries, they tasted like any other yam fries with chipotle dipping sauce. 


The total of the bill came to $35.56 with one glass of coke including tip,  we haven't decided if we would return to this restaurant any time soon though. Maybe not too soon?
