I was hesitant to write a review for The Penguin because it is very popular and I am sure 90% of Charlotteans have sampled what it has to offer but I figured it wouldn't hurt to share my thoughts.
I have been to The Penguin quite a few times and I consistently get delicious food at a very reasonable price. Their burgers are juicy and their fried pickles are crispy. Their menu is small but big on flavor. It is always so busy but worth the wait. I recommend going in the evening around 10:30 or 11:00, their is usually no wait then. I have recommended it to so many new Charlotteans and have never had someone tell me they didn't enjoy it!
