Where in the CLT can you find a place that has it all: fantastic food and excellent service? Loved the Mexican Theme! - Made the place super fun and relaxing! The wait staff is highly knowledgeable, friendly, and makes it a point to really spoil the customers. Fried Pickles and the Fried Chicken Bites were absolutely off the chart. Save room for the incredible Banana Pudding that I saved with my fried. Next time, I may curtail the appetizers and have one of those excellent triple custom hamburgers that were truly delicious—had a great time! Plenty of parking is available, but you will need to walk a block. It was well worth it. Tasty and excellent service!

It’s definitely got a cool vibe going on inside. Most of our food, although, delicious was served cold. My salad came out perfectly as did our Pimento Cheese Wonton appetizer (SO GOOD). However, The El Santo hot dog was so cold that even the cheese came to the table without melting. The Popcorn Chicken Salad, too, was cold. We figured the food may have sat while waiting for the salmon to cook for my salad. Our server was attentive and friendly. The gentleman that sat us and helped run food lacked personality.

Another Uber Eats from: Pinky’s Westside Grill. Absolutely recommend their food! As you can see, I tried a variety of items. Everything was excellent. I have to admit one of my favorites - other than the shrimp - was definitely the crab hush puppies! If you do the onion straws, it’s probably best eating them fresh on site so that they are crispy. They were understandably softer, but the flavor was good. Rueben Dog, Falafel, Skrimpz, White Trash Burger. Highly recommend giving them a try.

Pinky's Grill was good. The burgers were on point!! I had a double patty (no smash burgers here) with FRESH jalapeños ketchup & mayo. I saved 1 patty and bun for later as it was enough for 2 meals and the fresh cut waffle fries were crispy. The drink menu not my favorite as I prefer bar drinks not ready-made pour cocktails. I requested Tequlia sunshine & it was juicy!! My daughter has a Shirley Temple with pretty halloween garnish with a Salmon ceaser salad wrap. Total meal was about $50 for drinks & meal.

Fabulous spicy Bloody Mary. The burger was amazing. The corn dog battered fried skrimps were incredible. You HAVE to get their waffle fries with pimento cheese on top. Everything was awesome! Great service, as well!

This place has two locations. I went to the one near the west side of Charlotte. First off discounts,, military ID 10% 33% in uniform for like some of the first responders. This restaurant gives you like an island vibe. They do serve mixed drinks, although I didn’t have one. My friend got a salad with chicken on it and crispy fried onions. It was like the freaking best! I do recommend it. I got the steak sub with mushrooms. I would give it a 6 out of 10. It was cooked great and looked good but didn’t have much flavor at all. I probably wouldn’t order it again. I also tried the fried shrimp. It was fried perfectly but again it lacked flavor also,,(to me.)The restaurant has a nice vibe to it. I would suggest anyone to try it. I can see a nice time could be had here. They have an outside deck and inside and outside bar. I met the manager by the name of Analie. She was a kind warm person. Parking could be kind of difficult in this area, but they did say it was a parking lot on the side of the restaurant this kind of hidden, but it also is free.

This is by far one of my favorite places to visit anytime I’m in Charlotte! Could there be a better burger out there….possibly, but I’ve yet to find one! I love how everyone there works together, and it’s a cool vibe! Do yourself a favor and stop in, you won’t regret it. There’s plenty of parking just behind their place.

We ate at Pinky’s based on the good reviews and we’re not disappointed. The service was literally the best I have ever seen. Although you may have a waiter assigned to your table, if any other waiter sees a need… they just jump in and handle it with a smile. Service is wicked fast. We liked the pimp n fries and the white trash burger best. They also had a nice selection of drinks and draft beer. It was a great meal overall. We’ll definitely be back.
