Mmmmmm......Penguin. A former drive-in that's trying really hard to be funky....I definitely give them an A for effort. One of the first places I came to eat when I moved to Charlotte because, yep, you guessed it......I saw it on the Food Network! The most delicious fried pickles I have ever had....even good the next night re-heated in the oven after several beers. The cheeseburgers are also excellent and the falafal is nothing to sneeze at. Overcrowded? Yes. Tiny? Yes. But, for diner fare at a good price, it's hard to beat this little dive overrun with nostalgia. Try the pimento cheese.....it's the bomb yo.
