Description:
- Penguin Drive-In is a classic workingman's diner. Start yourself off with a pitcher of Yuengling, buffalo wings, pickle chips, and crinkle-cut cheese fries as you revel in the tunes blaring out of the all rock 'n' roll jukebox. Sandwiches with names like "Boss Hogg" and "Tupelo Special" are supremely tempting, while a burger called the "Full Blown Hemi," served "southern style" with chili, mustard, onions, and coleslaw just may be the burger-to-end-all-burgers. Homemade Brunswick stew rounds out the Penguin's hearty selection of offerings. Vegetarian options like a soy dog and black bean hummus are available, and the Penguin does have a full bar. See website for the entire menu as well as a calendar of events.

Pimento cheese burger and pimento cheese fries. Need I say more? Always a wait to get in, and this should tell you something about the food.

Message from Penguin Drive-In
Welcome to The Penguin Drive-In! While our menu still features the basic burgers, dogs, and fries, also offers a house-made Brunswick stew, a Ribeye sandwich and soy dogs and burgers for the vegetarian crowd. On any particular day, or night, you'll find what s a "nice mix" of people enjoying a meal or a cold one. Businessmen lean on the bar, mixed in with a few of the "old-timers." Punks with purple hair occupy a booth. A family of yuppies complete with baby stroller sits in the corner. The jukebox plays every kind of music - from doo-wop to country to new age to punk. The Penguin makes everyone feel welcome. That's part of the tradition. Stop by now and come early, because it's first come-first-serve. Ask for on of our favorites like the "Big Block", Fried Dill Pickles, Sweet Potato Fries, Brunswick Stew, and a cold one to wash it down.
