The Penguin Drive-In serves well-made and tasty food, including their famous burgers. This great little place offers both inside and outside seating, along with a nice bar area. It has a history in Charlotte, and the atmosphere is enhanced by historical artifacts scattered throughout the restaurant. The wait staff is friendly and attentive, providing good service and recommendations from the menu. While service can be slow at times, the food is delicious and served hot. Guests can enjoy a variety of options, including the Philly cheesesteak with fries and the tasty spinach dip as an appetizer. The Nashville hot tenders are a must-try, especially if ordered XXTRA HOT. The truffle fries are crispy and seasoned well, although some guests feel the portion sizes could be improved, particularly for the fried pickles. The drink selection is decent for a smaller place, with unique options like strawberry jalapeño lemonade. Overall, it’s a spot worth visiting for a great meal and an enjoyable experience.
