| - Let me begin by saying that I intend to visit again and amend my review thusly.
I dropped into Pinky's for the first time today around 3:45pm with my wife. I ordered the Southern 500 and she ordered The Stray Dog with the slaw on the side and cheddar cheese added. We also got an order of waffle fries and onion rings.
Ok. They were SLAMMED. It was truly unbelievable. Totally understandable to expect slower service, but even still we were waiting for food until 4:36pm. To me, it seemed there was a shift change which perhaps contributed to the delay. The kitchen guys were busting their humps and the hard-working wait staff seemed unable to keep up completely. Not their fault, really, it just seems like they could have used several more hands.
The food: My wife's soy dog was the most revolting "hotdog" either of us have ever tasted. I mean honestly. Barfaroni. Her slaw was forgotten and the cheddar they added was laughable. Not enough to justify asking.
The waffle fries and onion rings are awesome. Waffle fries could come in a larger portion for cost, but the same cannot be said of the onion rings. Plenty of them and deliciously fried.
My dog was awesome. Truly delicious from start to finish. The slaw is reminiscent of tartar sauce, which isn't necessarily a bad thing but definitely not what I expected.
The place has an amazing ambience. Powered by a jukebox, we were treated to lots of Slayer, Jay-Z and The Cure to name a few. Oh, and Kiss pinball. It's pretty loud inside which doesn't bother me, but you will want to speak loud and clear to be sure your unsweet tea doesn't get mixed up with sweet as mine did.
Again, I'll be back. Lots of menu items to check out. With a congenial staff and great atmosphere, it's most definitely worth a return visit.
