| - Was paying off a bet so I decided to take my friend here for lunch.
For those that haven't been, Pinky's occupies a restored car repair garage - has kind of a retro-Americana vibe but is also quite bright due to the lage windows. Seating is a bit tight, but overall it's a fun place.
The back story of Pinky's is the old chef from the Penguin (Greg) moved across town and opened Pinky's. As a result, some of the menu is a carryover from the beloved Penguin while other items are net new (especially the salads!). For example, the out-of-this-world friend pickles are here, as are the tasty burgers.
However, what sets Pinky's apart are the new food options - the funky burger combo's, the excellent hot dogs, and the cool vegan options (Falafel and Veggie Chili). On this visit I had a double Ding Dong burger - two 5 oz patties topped with chunky peanut butter, cole slaw and Sriracha sauce. Yes, it sounds like a weird combo, but is exceptionally tasty (think Pad Thai sauce on a burger).
My buddy had the Southern Chicken sandwich and gave it a thumbs up. Service was good, not fast but also not as inconsistent as others have found.
Overall this is a good option for those looking for a good burger, great sides and some solid items for the non-burger lover.
