I liked Pink's hot dogs when I tried them. They were kind of rubbery and chewy compared to the store bought Ball Parks and Whatnots. But the chili was outrageous! It is loaded with yellow grease (animal fat probably) and has to be the least healthy thing that can be eaten in LA. The taste is delicious, but the calories,... more

I went to Pink's a few years ago and have forgotten to write my review...until now. I went after watching the Travel Channel's top 10 hot dogs in the country. I have tried most on the list and Pink's is one of the best!! I waited in line to have one for over an hour, but it was well worth... more

So, I'm glad I went to Pinks just so that I can mark that one off my list, but to be honest, it was nothing special. As a matter of fact, I've had better hot dogs in much less famous places. If you go, be prepared to stand in a line, and be sure to bring cash because they do... more

My wife and I went to Pinks after a Lakers game and stood in line for over 1 hour. Our expectations were high as we had heard such rave reviews from everyone and I can't say we were let down at all. We chose 3 dogs between us and had a chili dog, hot polish chicago dog and a chili... more

I am a hot dog lover and I can't tell you how many people over the years have told me to eat at Pink's. I finally did, and the disappointment on my face was visible from bite number 1. I believe that no one that told me to go to Pink's ever had the hotdog at Costco. Let's start now... more

On the positive side, it is way better than Cupids but not close to as good as Costco. Fab's on Tampa at Vanowen in "the Valley" is vastly superior, better quality dog, tastier toppimgs and no long wait. As for Pinks, the dog is ok, just, but what is that onion slop about? The chili tastes canned, the onion rings... more
