| - I reviewed the other location when it was younger than this location is now. And of course I LOVED it.
I was nervous-ish about the other reviews on this site, until I realized where they were coming from...people in Huntersville kind of aren't ready for a restaurant like this. If you want a place to bring your screaming children after soccer practice, and also want your food served on china, this isn't the place for you. It says right on the menu, 'low brow food and drinks'! Pinky's Huntersville, PLEASE don't change your 'paper basket' serving style. It's what gives the place its charm.
The food was perfect. I got the pterodactyl burger with cheese. I modified it by putting fried pickles on. Normally I put my burger down between bites to have some of my side, but I could NOT put this one down. The quality of food definitely doesn't vary between locations, which is a huge plus. For my side, I skipped the fries and got the fried squash. Heavenly. Hea-ven-ly. Crisp but still soft on the inside, just like fried squash should be. Fried pickles were on point, of course. (Don't forget to try them with honey mustard!!)
The 'team service' was what I was mostly worried about, but I needn't have worried. A girl came by to take our drink and appetizer orders. A perfect amount of time later, a girl came by to take our food orders. Another girl brought our food, took our to-go order of fries and pickles (for my parents at home), and our check and food came out promptly after that. Maybe service has been bad on other days, but our waters were filled and our tummies happy. I had no complaints on that score, or any score. (Except that the weather was terrible but that's someone else's fault entirely.) Also, $30 for 2 orders of pickles, two sides, and two entrees? It's a steal for food this delicious, that you don't have to drive all the way to downtown Charlotte to get.
Even the music was awesome!
It was pretty full when we went, which is good. I hope this location lasts and isn't edged out by its location in suburbia and people not understanding the point. As for the person calling the food 'Penguin wannabe'.....well....do your research.
Eat at Pinky's!
