If you were to do a "gut bomb" search on Google for Charlotte, Pinky's would not show up (I know, I checked). But it should. And I mean that as endearingly as possible.
Sparing you from the whole drama that was Pinky's, Penguin, Diamond, the menu has somewhat the same feel as The Penguin did with burgers, hotdogs, fried pickles and a few other things.
I ordered a burger with two patties and did not get a side since we were getting an appetizer (more on that in a bit). The burger was delicious!! I actually could not finish it because it was one of those really good greasy one that you know spoiled your workout on the first bite but is so good you don't care. I may have been a little weighed down already from our appetizers.
I normally don't do appetizers but my friends and I decided to split some fried pickles and the waitress convinced us to try some Pimp'n Fries. It seems like everyone in Charlotte does fried pickles these days but these were towards the top end as far as how good they were.
HOWEVER, the Pimp'n Fries were unreal! They are waffle fries piled high with pimento cheese and chili. I have never been a huge pimento cheese fan but these were among the best appetizers I have ever had in my life. If I were you (and what I will do again), is go ahead and order a burger (maybe one patty for me next time) or sandwich or whatever, skip the side all together and then spilt the Pimp'n Fries with your table. Five grown men were able to be satisfied.
I started off saying this place was a gut bomb. And it is. But it is worth every bite.
