Its website promises "epic bbq." We had a pretty epic disagreement over the burgers here. One member of our group thought the Flatline Burger (double patty between two grilled cheese sandwiches) lived up to its "to die for" reputation, and even outranked a similar offering at Burger Heaven. He was particularly impressed the mammoth burger stayed intact down to the last bite. But another member complained the burger lacked char and that its flavour was flat and the rustic bun was a bit "chewy." A third member said he quite enjoyed his burger. We enjoyed the fries which reminded us of In-N-Out fries in the States.
AMBIENCE
Nice, airy hangout spot with red-checkered-tablecloth charm, albeit a bit quiet on the weeknight we visited.SERVICE
Friendly, attentive service, though we were a bit gobsmacked at the lack of response from staff when a small, four-legged rodent was seen scurrying about in the dining area.
Classic burger meal is $10. Dressed up burgers range from $13 to $18. If we come back we'll definitely want to give their bbq ribs a try.
Summing it up, eating at the Hog Shack is like driving a Scion XB through Drumheller, Alta., with Jenna Fischer in the passenger seat and Billy Joel's "Piano Man" playing on the radio. (Visited on Sept. 24, 2013)
