Pinky's Westside Grill

"Pinky’s claim to fame came with its feature on the Food Network’s Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives with Guy Fieri. As for its potential to gain a following with the pre-game crowd, Pinky’s menu is filled with a variety of local craft beer pitchers like Birdsong Brewing Company’s Higher Ground IPA, and fried goodness like Pimp’n Fries (waffle fries slathered in homemade pimento cheese) and fried Greg’s Pickles (dill pickle chips fried and served with ranch dressing). The “healthier” sports fans can dig into popcorn chicken salad and tahini salad (topped with fried falafel cakes)." - Remy Thurston
