After reading the menu... Even higher. \n\nWow was I let down.\n\nPinky's is on the corner of Morehead and Freedom Drive. Across from The Burger Company and a Tattoo Parlor. The exterior is actually pretty cool looking. There is an old VW bug on the roof, a triceratops statue outside, and the building looks like an old garage converted to a restaurant. Inside has some interesting decor, seems they're trying to be a little unique and they are.\n\nParking... wow. There are about 6 parking spots, don't even bother pulling in. Just park across the street and walk. Seriously, traffic can be bad and the one way in one way out can be a pain when there are 6 cars in the lot.\n\nI hate to give a bad review and I will come back, but my experience wasn't the greatest. Walking in you'll have a small waiting area with a hostess stand with a hostess present most of the time. To your right you'll have the dining area and bar. The night I went there were two servers, and a bartender. To place an order you go to the bar which is typical, but be careful waiting in the waiting area. You'll have to check on your order. There were two men in Pinky's uniform in addition to the women working the floor and bar. I asked one for some help or if he could check on my order and was told \"I'm not working I'm just making sure things go ok here.\" Yea well 20 minutes after being told 10 minutes and I still dont have my order, things aren't ok. Turns out it was just sitting behind the bar. I guess I should have asked more often.\n\nI ordered the Ding Dong Chick and crab puppies. I'm not sure where they get Thai style with the chicken, tasted exactly like it sounds. Is that even possible? For sound to taste? Anyways you know what I mean. Ding Dong Chicken: Grilled chicken breast, crunchy peanut butter, cole slaw. Just didn't do my palette justice. But hey they say not to try it first so its hard to knock it. I just expected a little more spice or flavor in the chicken.\n\nThe Crab puppies... think hush puppies with crab meat in them. Thats what the description says, what they lack is actual crab meat. They were big deep fried hush puppy balls, I tore every one up and had others try them. No taste of crab what so ever nor site of any meat. Pourina tried them too and his elite taste buds could not sense any crab either.\n\nNeedless to say, sounds like growing pains. I will try again but my lord if your going to offer crab puppies put some damn crab meat in them!!!"^^ .
