The first time we came to Pinkies was almost an accident. We had planed to be at Food Truck Friday but were rained out.
So, group of 16 people, Friday night, and no reservations anywhere. Crap!
Somehow we ended up at Pinkies. If you've ever passed this place then you know it's impossible to miss. The giant VW Beetle painted with Stars and Stripes on the roof is hard to ignore.
We shuffled in and luckily we are all friends because the waiting area it kitchy and fun, but also small! Thankfully none of us had B.O. and impressively we were all seated in less that 15 minutes!
Now the menu! Pinkies is like no place I've been before. There are some "normal" choices but most of the menu is a hodge podge of odd combinations most with interesting names.
Things like Wasabi Ranch Dressing are available and leave you in a strange place of excitement to try something unusual and fear of having no idea what anything will taste like because its all so different!
I can't remember what I got but I ordered the strangest thing I could find on the menu and it was amazing!
I've been back three times and ordered different items and found them all somewhere on the scale of decent-to-great. Nothing has bombed yet!
The food is interesting and they do a great job of combining odd things and making them work. The prices are fantastic, especially for the adventurous menu, which is further encouragement to try new things!
Service is hit or miss like many places. It really depends on the night and the server but if you come with a group of friends and share a beer or two, you'll probably not even notice.
Overall, Pinkies is a great place for "Foodies" and budget minded people alike.
