"Yum!!! We got the classic grilled cheese w bacon and a side of tomato bisque. Both were SO GOOD. My daughter loved it too. We will definitely be back!!"

"One of the many spots in the Ferry Market and it’s definitely worth a try.
We started with the garlic knot tots what had a strong garlic and parm flavor that went together well. The Shack Mac was good; a lighter Mac & cheese with a lot of good toppings.
The Figgy Piggy sandwich was good not great. Not sure how well the fig and Brie paired with the pulled pork. It was also pretty expensive for its size."

"Stopped at the Ferry Market and ordered from The Pork Shack. Ordered the Grilled Cheese with bacon, The Rabe and the BLT tots and were extremely satisfied! Food was made fresh. The guy behind the register recommended the Rabe and it was excellent! I also ordered the Strawberry Lemonade which was also fresh. The price was right and glad we found this gem 🐷"

A Date Weekend in New Hope, PA
We ultimately settled on the “Slop Tots” at The Pork Shack, one of the stands at the New Hope Ferry Market. The guy at the register was super cheerful, and you can’t beat the pig jokes available to read while you’re waiting for your food. For under $10, our “Slop Tots” included 1/4lb of pork, roasted red onion, cheese sauce, and green onions served over tater tots.
