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 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 (parking is free). It has been in the same location for 62 years ... more

Why is it that in health- and image-conscious LA, our favorite restaurants are divey little stands that serve greasy food usually smothered in chili Pinks, LAs favorite chili-dog vendor, is no exception; in business for more than 65 years, it may have started the trend. With lines down the block at almost all hours, Pinks is perhaps LAs most beloved hot-dog stand and one of the countrys most famous ...

Orson Welles ate 18 of these hot dogs in one sitting, and you, too, will be tempted to order more than one. The chili dogs are the main draw, but the menu has expanded to include an Ozzy Osbourne Dog (a spicy Polish sausage with cheese, grilled onions, guacamole, and tomatoes). Since 1939 Angelenos and tourists alike have been lining up to plunk down some modest change for one of the greatest guilty ...

New York and Chicago may be better known for their hot dog pedigrees, but L.A. boasts a few sausage eateries that rival Nathan's and Portillo's. At its Hollywood location, Pink 's has been satisfying cravings for its famous chili dogs for almost six decades. And if chili isn't your thing, you can choose just about any topping and combination of complements to the high-quality Hoffy brand beef hot ...

There is a small free lot behind Pink's, but it can sometimes be difficult and time-consuming to get in and out.

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 bun, ...

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 2,000 ...

Worst chili dogs i've ever had! We figured since we were gonna wait in line for 1 1/2 hours might as well order everything we want to try. So we ordered 4 of their specialty dogs and 1 traditional chili dog (its what put them on the map....must be good, right?) Took one bite of each and threw the rest away, even the infamous chili dog. Was sick the rest of the day. Can only imagine if we would have ...

A pair of hot or mild polish dogs sliced open layered on top of melted cheese wrapped in bacon covered in chili and wrapped in a burrito.

Way too expensive over-hyped saturated in grease and simply too long a line for a seriously average food experience.I make better hot-dogs.
worth a visit when in LA

I don't know what the folks that said they accept credit cards were smoking, but I guess that's why they should up at this LA staple for late night dining. I hadn't been to Pink's in years, but visited them again this past Saturday / Sunday morning at 2am to find the chili cheese dogs were still delicious, the lines still long, the crowd dressed for cubbing and recovering from a little too much to ...
