Great, But Long Lines
You don't go to Pinks to have a healthy meal; you go to have a chili cheese dog and double chili bacon cheeseburger. Pinks is definitely an LA experience--lots of hype, lines, celebs and no parking. It's always busy and the food is good, so be patient and prepared to wait or walk over and back. I recommend parking on La Brea mid-day during the week in the Fall or Spring. Forget about it during Summer--it's way too busy with tourists. The food and staff are both first class.

Pink's Hot Dogs is probably the most famous hot dog stand in Los Angeles! Located near the corner of Melrose and La Brea, Pink's can be found by looking for a crowd of people and following the aroma of fresh meaty chili and soft hot dog buns.
Pink's is unlike any other hot dog stand in America. For example, it has its own parking lot attendant. It has been in the same location for 62 years. It... more

Get in line, son. No matter the time, you'll be waiting for the city's oldest dogs. Gets pretty heinous pretty quickly. We like the Guadalajara with guac and sour cream, cuz hey, it's all pink on the inside. Try to beat Citizen Kane's record of 18 down the gullet and realize your belly is resembling the third man's. Themed hot dogs morph as the trends come in and out, just like Hollywood.

The Scene Everyone loves Pink's, from lunching businessmen and penny-pinching families to ravenous club kids at 3am. Even celebrities wait in the perpetual line. Orson Welles used to come once a week and down a dozen chili-cheese dogs. The Food The chili-cheese dog is the end-all and be-all of Pink's. A long, thin, 100-percent beef Hoffy is snug in a lightly steamed...

Pink's isn't your usual guidebook recommendation, but then again, this crusty corner stand isn't your typical hot dog shack. Name another hot dog stand that has its own valet who deftly parks the stream of Rolls-Royces and Mercedes that pull up regularly. This L.A. icon grew around the late Paul and Betty Pink, who opened for business in 1939 selling 10ยข wieners from a used hot dog cart. Now...

LA Staple

What can I say? It's an LA staple -- along with Musso and Franks, Mel's, Canter's, etc. The hot dogs are all great, and the variety is exhaustive. My favorite -- the Chicago, spicy Polish. You can't miss.

Having eaten some tasty sausages from some tasty sausage joints (see Hot Doug's in Chicago), Pink's dog is definitely a standout in the plain wiener department... they do the classic dog as well as anyone. The toppings are clever and tasty, and it was worth the 45 minute wait. Probably wouldn't do it regularly if I lived in town, but I'd call it a must hit for anyone visiting L.A.
