Oinks

So once again my groupon experience was sub par.  This time it was oinks on East colfax about a mile past Colorado.  We went on a wednesday night and were the only customers around 6:30.  Located in a strip mall, the lady at the counter was friendly and suggested we order the smoked pork since it came out of the smoker this morning.  It certainly made me wonder how old the other meats were.....Anyways i settled on the pork platter with coleslaw and my friend had the pork sandwich with ranch dressing and fried onions.  Drinks are served in mason jars and service was quick.  Upon our food's arrival,  my friend's first complaint was the cold bun, my first complaint was how dry the meat was.  I couldn't say much since the lady was 10 feet from us shredding the "freshly" smoked chicken behind the counter.  They have a whole collection of do it yourself sauces at each table including texas or kansas style sauces.  They all sort of tasted the same to me.  My friend said her sandwich when piled together with the lots of ranch, bbq sauce and fried onions was actually quite enjoyable.  Our sides were less than memorable, mine was a fancy coleslaw with a little sriracha and sesame seeds and my friend had a sweet potato salad with eggs.  The sweet potatoes were slightly undercooked and covered in mayo.  We finished our meal with a heath bar brownie bite which was wonderfully soft and chewy.  Overall Groupon, you disappoint me again....
