Oink Oink — Restaurant in St. Gallen

We were initially very happy with the place: the ambience is nice, the waitress kind, and there is a vast selection of beers. The pulled pork burger I had was a little dry but nothing too bothering. What happened in the ten minutes before leaving however cannot be ignored, unfortunately. We were served a second round of beers, both beyond expiration date (we didn’t check the first round), by 5 and 9 months, respectively. We kindly made the waitress aware, in case she had others in stock but we refused to have them changed, as they still tasted good enough. When we were charged full price for them we were though quite surprised, as well as when I was informed after paying (and still giving a tip above 5%) that there was a surcharge of 2% for paying with credit card (seriously??) that was calculated not on the original price but on the one including the tip. Now let’s make it clear, it’s not about the money. It’s about the lack of style, common sense, and customer centricity. Check your beer expiration date in case you still wanna give...

Beer selection is small but varied, and it is full of local craft beers instead of the usual Schützengarten. Give it a shot, you won't be...

Mandé un email para reservar y no hubo respuesta. Aún así fuimos porque queríamos probar, la atención fue muy buena, el camarero muy amable y atento. La sorpresa fue la comida, pedimos varios tipos de Pulled Pork y que no estaban mal excepto el mío, parecía que lo habían sacado del congelador para ponerlo en el horno y me trajeron un plato con el queso casi evaporado en vez de derretido, la carne muy pero que muy seca y debajo patatas fritas totalmente churruscadas, de un marrón oscuro casi huecas, no comestibles. Dejé el plato a la vista con todas las patatas quemadas a la vista, estuvimos en la mesa mínimo 45 minutos en las que pedimos varias bebidas y el camarero aunque estuvo presente, no preguntó qué tal estaba la comida. No vamos a...
