I am from Atlanta, so I don't know or care about the politics of the ownership of this place. All I know is the Penguin Burger I had (pimento cheese and fried pickles) was DEE-LISH-US. It's tough to find a good burger in Charlotte, because of the dumb medium well law, but this place is fantastic. All the other burgers looked good too and very inexpensive. The staff was a little flirty (just the way I like them) and they even have cheap booze.
