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

Best Pimento Cheese ever!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I was so excited to see this episode of Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives! The Penguin is one of the things I miss most since... moving to western North Carolina. I have never eaten at at place where there may be a judge on your left and an up and coming punk star on your right! The staff and food here are always terrific. If you are ever in Charlotte, NC you simply have to take the time to go to The Penguin to eat.Read more
