Penguin Point (Elkhart, IN)

840 W Bristol St, Elkhart, Indiana, T: 574-264-5252
(there are 12 other locations in the North Indiana area)


Let's face it, who can resist a burger place with a penguin??? Well, clearly I couldn't, while driving through the desolate town of Elkhart, Indiana. Penguin Point is a local chain that sells chicken, burgers, and tenderloin.


I was very hungry, so I ordered a Super Wally value meal, which comes with a medium drink and medium fries ($6.09). A Super Wally is a kind of Big Mac (TM), but spongier and drenched in "Wally sauce" (a kind of salty, fatty Béarnaise sauce). The wrinkle fries were barely warm and cardboard-like.


VERDICT: 45/100
Do look at the website of Penguin Point, enjoy their logo, but stay away from their food (unless you are really starving and can't find a McDonalds or any other fast food place around)!

  1. I used to work at a Penguin Point back in 2001 or so. Get their tenderloin if you're ever near one again; they're made when you order (since they're deep fried and hard to keep fresh) and just heavenly.

  3. yeah, what he said (above)... Penguin Point is the bomb. Their fries blow away the competition and I enjoy the burgers too.

  4. Penguin Point is hit-n-miss at best ... the tenderloin sandwich is very good, and the fries are usually blistering hot ... but they do have very slow service so sometimes the fries do have time to get cold before your sandwich is done.
