Amazing food, great service, good beer and a great atmosphere. Look for the Volkswagon Beetle on the roof.
Rumor has it that this place is run by the people that ran The Penguin (a Charlotte institution) for decades. They've split with ownership and opened Pinky's. It has the same vibe and great food at inexpensive prices. I haven't confirmed all of this, but it's generally accepted as fact in Charlotte...maybe its just an urban legend.
I had the Ding Dong chicken sandwich, which is slaw, sirachi, and crunchy peanut butter. I was suspicious of this combo at first, but am now a believer. I didn't expect it (maybe I'm just slow), but the combination tasted Thai inspired, almost like pad thai. I also had the sweet potato fries, also good.
Definitely will be going back to check out the rest of the menu.
