The Best
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I am from Charlotte, NC, where The Penguin is located and it is one of the best places I have ever eaten. Everyone from the... County Commissioner to a family of five, to your punk rock teenager can be seen here on a Friday or Saturday night. The Pimento cheese is one of my favorites and is one of the reasons I enjoy eating at The Penguin. If you are ever in Charlotte, NC you have to stop by and try the food!Read more

Easy and delicious
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

This recipe was so easy. I didn't have the granulated onion and it still turned out incredible. This is a great pimento... cheese, especially if you like a little more spice.Read more
