  • Pink's at night - Los Angeles
    Pink's at night
    by Erin74
    Send Photo to a Friend
    Pink's Hot Dogs started as a small push cart in 1939. Hot dogs were originally sold for 10 cents. More than sixty years later, Pink's is still in business and more popular than ever. The stand is now a small building and patio located at the corner of Melrose and LaBrea. The walls are covered with signed photos of famous actors, all proclaiming their love for Pink's. The line stretches down the street. At lunch and dinner time (and after the bars close at 2am) you can easily wait for 45 minutes to order your food. But it is well worth the wait! The Hot Dogs here are juicy and flavorful. Pink's offers tons of varieties (including the more healthy turkey dog) and has even branched out into burritos and burgers. Pink's is famous not only because it's been around so long that it's become a L.A. landmark.... it's famous because the food is so darn good!

    The chili dog remains the most popular hot dog at Pink's. Their chili is REALLY outstanding. Even if you don't get the chili dog, you should get a bowl of chili on the side. Go ahead and clog those arteries with a bacon chili cheese dog-- it's good. Pink's offers lots of special dogs, including the Martha Stewart Dog, The Ozzy Ozbourne Dog and the Matrix Dog. But I just stick with the original chili dog. Why mess with perfection?

    This is a little hotdog stand on the corner of Melrose Blvd. and La Brea Ave. It is open until 2 or 3 AM and the line is always at least an hour long, no matter what time it is. There are many different types of hotdogs all yummy and well worth the wait.

    This place looks like a hole-in-the-wall type place, but damn... the hot dogs are amazing! Its probably the most famous hot dog restaurant in the whole Los Angeles area... its not a five star place or anything, yet its always mentioned in guide books. Of course, because of its popularity, waiting to be served can be quite long. The restaurant isn't that big either, so finding a table an be difficult. The restaurant stays open late as well. Its one of those restaurants that apparently gets a lot of celebrities cos the walls are filled with autograph pics. Yet, when you go there, you never see anyone famous...

    Chilidogs are the best!

    Pinks is one of the best Hot Dogs in LA, right up there with Tommy's. Pinks is definately the most famous dog stand in SoCal, perhaps in America. There will be at least a 30 minutes wait at all times, sometimes up to an hour on busier days. The line actually wraps around the building and through the rear lot.

    Eat Pinks to say you did it, especially after a long night clubbing for that great, greasy dog! If you drive down LaBrea and ever see a short wait, you should stop in and enjoy your lucky find! The dogs are THAT awesome!

  • Get ready for long lines day and night as well as get ready with some cash before you go! There are many autographs of Hollywood stars who ate there and I personally like to sit inside than outside because there are so many autographs surrounding me.

    I went there twice and tried the Stretch 10 inch dog, Planet Hollywood dog, Chili Cheese and Chili hot dog. I enjoyed them all but the Planet Hollywood dog did not come out to be as good as it can be. The Polish dog is good too but I love the Chili and the Stretch 10 inch dog the most. Make sure you try the Onion Rings, they are great.

  • While I have not personally ever had Pink's Hot Dogs, I know people who swear by them, and friends who will wait over an hour just for their hot dogs! On La Brea and Melrose, this fixture is incredibly famous, and you will see incredibly long lines waiting for a hot dog at Pink's. For tourists, this seems to be one of the ultimate Hollywood experiences.

  • This were some of the best hotdogs I ever had. You can smell the place down street. A small stand but crowded.

    Hot dog with onions and chili.

  • The line is daunting but well worth the wait. Every possible combination of ingrediants make up these stellar dogs. Friendly cashier people make up for the wait, and there is a reason for the wait! Fantastic quality dogs. Mostly at night you see drunk clubgoers in search of food. Daytimes consist of everyone, from little old ladies to business men.

    Polish Bacon Burrito Dog. They have to wrap it in a tortilla its so big and its filled with Smoky bacon, flavorful polish sausage and cheese. Amazing!!!
