| - Pinky's is one of those places that I have been to so many times and just never got around to reviewing. I think that part of the reason for that is that there is no way to do it justice. This is probably my favorite burger spot in Charlotte. It used to be the Penguin, but that is no longer the case (a different story entirely).
Pinky's serves up a great burger at a great price. It also has a funky/eclectic atmosphere that keeps things interesting. I've tried just about every combination of the burger here and they all have their merits. My normal go to is the "White Trash Burger" which comes with fried pickles, onion rings, and spicy ranch. Another good option is getting a burger "ding dong" style. This style consists of crunchy peanut butter, honey cilantro slaw and sriracha. I know this sounds odd, but this combination of flavors just works. I could go on and on about the burger, but I don't want to write a book here.
The appetizers/sides are just as good as the burgers. I would highly recommend the fried pickles, which are lightly breaded dill pickles that come with ranch. They come out hot and their is a big pile of them for just a couple of dollars. I would also recommend the Pimpin' Fries which are waffle fries smothered in pimento cheese. You can also add chili which just makes them all the more delicious. I know all of these things sound greasy and they are, but they are delicious. If you are looking for a healthier option, I've heard from many that their veggie dogs are some of the best.
The service at Pinky's is always friendly and efficient. I've never had too much of a problem with slow service, but they do tend to get very crowded. That being said, there is a good amount of seating, especially during the summer when the outside space can be utilized.
Pinky's is a great price and they run some good specials throughout the week. One that comes to mind is their craft beer special on Tuesdays that offer all drafts for $2.50. They have a pretty good beer selection, and they always have some local Charlotte brews on tap.
Parking is nearly impossible in their main lot, but there is overflow parking available across the street at the Dunkin' Donuts.
Pinky's is a funky local place that is great for residents and a great place to bring visitors to the area. The food is delicious, interesting, and cheap. It is a great place to grab lunch or a beer after work. I highly recommend.
