| - Yet another on my quest to try the "Best" burger places in Charlotte. I had lunch at Pinky's on a Saturday afternoon. In a common trend now-a-days, Pinky's is in a repurposed gas station. The weather was nice and they had the garage doors open. I got there about 15-20 minutes after they opened so it wasn't too busy yet. I ordered the mammoth burger, which is two 5 oz patties. I opted for everything, which is mayo, lettuce, tomato, onion & dill pickles. I also ordered a side of waffle fries and a side of onion rings. My food came out very quickly, I don't think I even had time to read the front page of my paper yet. All the food looked delicious. The burger was juicy, but didn't have as much flavor as I wanted. Still it was very good, cooked to just being legal. The waffle fries were hot and crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside, cooked perfectly. The onion ring, well what can I say about those rings. If I had to pick one word it would be nirvana. They were some of the best onion rings I have ever had. They were sliced thin, with the breading barely clinging to them. The onions were sweet tasting and the breading had a nice flavor. They did have quite a bit of grease though. The service was fantastic. It might have been because it was still slow, but most of the staff that passed by asked how everything was and if I needed anything, not just my server, but all the wait staff and even the hostess. Not quite the best burger I've had in Charlotte, but it is close to the top.
