On Sunday, following a big day of boating and night of drinking, Nick, Reed and I were a little worse for wear. After some coffee and lounging by the pool, food was (very) necessary. The day before, Reed was telling tales of a restaurant that served a sandwich ding dong style. That name had us convinced, and we knew we had to go. Pinky's Westside Grill is housed in what used to be an automotive repair store, which has maintained the auto body shop feel while making it eclectic and funky. We sat in the indoor/outdoor area in what used to be the car bay area, garage doors intact!
Upon sitting and looking over the menu we could tell straight away that this food was going to be fun and adventurous. When I eyed the Crab Puppies on the menu, I knew they would have to be ordered - hush puppies are a must when in the south. The crab took them to a whole other level. The outside was a perfect golden crispy brown that had just the right amount of bite to them. Even from the picture, you can tell these were also overflowing with crabmeat - there was some in each mouthful. Served with a cool, creamy tartar sauce, these were an amazing start to our meal.
