Charlotte's Restaurant voted #1 Hamburger in the nation!
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.Visit Citysearch.com

    I do enjoy the food at this establishment but, staff is rude and as an afro american who lives in the Chantilly neighborhood and love the fact that I could walk to the restaurant. I will never go back. I sense that staff and racist to me and others of color. I thought maybe it was just my subjective perspective, but others have had similar experiences...I think is just sad.
