You've probably waited in line outside Pink's hundreds of times at this point, mostly around 2:13 a.m. Here are 10 mind-blowing things you didn't know about Pink's. Read more

“A Hollywood Legend Since 1939,” they serve a vegan veggie dog named after a LA-based radio and TV personality. Become part of history by braving the lines and order the Patt Morrison Baja Vegan Dog Read more

The whole menu. This is a once a year treat. Might as well do it up right. Native New Yorkers will have the Carl Reiner - mustard and sauerkraut . It goes well with the Emeril Dog.

Mohammed Abu Hajar

The LA most famous Hotdog , i tried the classic chilli Cheese hot dog with onion rings , it was tasty but there is a nice outdoor backyard to dine in, parking an an issue all the time. Enjoy it ????

Stacy Bo Bacy

If you’re gonna wait in line for one of these monstrosities, don’t be boring. I got an Emeril “bam” 9” dog (mustard , onions , cheese , jalapeños , bacon , and coleslaw ) and am beyond satisfied.

Anastasia Giorgiova

My first time here ... Arrived 4pm on a Tues, with only a few people in line . Tried the Chicago Polish Spicy Dog (mustard , relish , lettuce, onion , tomato ), fries & a diet cream soda . All delicious!!

Melody Scott

I had the New York Dog-regular dog with onions in a mild sauce . It was a little messy but yummy. Onion rings were good too. All drinks are in cans or bottles. No fountain .

Chris Cookson

a quintessential hot dog pilgrimage, huge menu with a lot of options which is probably for the better given the line . If you are visiting Universal Studios, there is a Pink's on CityWalk with no line .

Eater

Founded back in 1939 as a street cart, Pink’s has attracted a wide range of celebrities over the years, a fact that it proudly touts with the celeb-themed dogs on its menu.

Catsi Catalan

Line is relatively long during our visit but is definitely worth the try. It’s a popular fast food serving hotdog buns for decades. It’s affordably good!

Dee Dee

The Fonda: chili , cheese , onions , and mustard . I substituted relish for onions ...delicious! The line is long, but moves fast and definitely worth the wait! They accept credit cards.

Justin Ordoveza

There's always a line but it's still worth it. Get the hot dogs with the crazy toppings well worth it every time. Get the onion rings always good.

Yvonne Colocho

Yes the lines are long and they only take cash but its one of those places you just have to cross off your list when you're in LA. :) I've been to three different locations and they never disappoint!

Kassi Nopratvarakorn

An LA classic with a massive menu and something for everyone. I recommend the Huell Howser - all the hits like chili , cheese and onion + 2 dogs. The perfect combo!

Jason C

I got the Mulholland Drive dog that came with bacon . The bacon was crispy and delicious, but also took over the entire flavor of the chili dog . I kind of wish I had just gotten the plain chili dog .

Alesha Dailey

If in LA you have to go here! There is ALWAYS a line (even at 1am!) so be prepared! Get the Pastrami Dog with mustard onions and tomatoes . Sooo delicious! This is the place where LA gathers!!

Josh Compton

Grab a menu while you’re in line…it’s a lot of pressure to decide last minute

Scott Bradley

Mornings are a good time to beat the line - between 10 & 11 am. Chili cheese dog with everything is a must, don't be afraid to try some of the fancier dogs & sausages too! And chili cheese fries !!!!

Zozela

1h waiting (queue is moving slowly) but the hot dogs were amazing! The Chili cheese , the ozzy, the Lafd, the curuy!

Chad Tovar

Amazing dogs!!!! Waiting in line is not a problem because this original classic is worth the wait!! Once you get your dog you hear the snap of the dog and it's a special sound!!! Yum yum!!

Michael

Tasty hot dogs and onion rings ! Crazy unhealthy and messy though! The line is also unbelievably long, but thats since it's so popular.

Buford Barnes

Best hot dogs in the West since 1939! Try one of their exotic and unique specialty dogs like the Huell Howser Dog or the Planet Hollywood Dog , but leave time - the line can last an hour even at 2 A.M.

Nana Apostolopoulou

Wait wasn't that bad, about 15 minutes. Super cheap and tasty hot dog ! Definitely the best I've had in the States so far!

g oconnor

Three of the finest Dr. Brown's sodas are available: Black Cherry , Root Beer , and Cream Soda .

Glow Bie

A great stop for variety. The times I've been had a long line in the afternoon (up to an hour). Got lucky the most recent visit...but it was 11pm :p You gotta try it at least twice imho.

Dwayne Conyers

So many choices! Service is VERY friendly and helpful. Valet parking was excellent. Our go-to stop for a quick bite at all ungodly hours of the night. Enjoy!

Duncan PJ

Great hot dogs . While your waiting take a look around at the amazing collection of signed celebrity photos.

Michael Neal

All American dog and Brooklyn pastrami dog were awesome. Fries were delicious too. TIP THE STAFF !

Chris Carroll

Of course the hotdogs were good but it may have been the best Spicy Polish sausage I’ve ever had

Richard Revilla

Don't be afraid of the line the dogs are unique and amazing. So many to choose from. Cash only .

Ryan Buenaventura

Just make sure you have chilli and cheese in whatever you choose. The dogs have the snap that is a hallmark for a great wiener.

graceface killa

Ask for 4-12" wieners in a tortilla with chili cheese , bacon strips , jalapeño , grilled onions , mushrooms , roasted red peppers , wrapped & topped w/ nacho cheese , chopped tomatoes . Grace special.

Larisa Grollemond

Touristy and the line is neverending, but it’s a classic spot and a must-do if you’re in the mood for super unhealthy food (no shortage of nacho cheese here!)

Nicole A

Ozzy spicy dog! Fantastic! Must eat stop when in LA! Quality is still consistent since our last visit few years ago. Best hotdogs !

Thomas Colton

There will be 3 or 4 dogs that stand out to you on the menu. You Must. Not. Get. All of Them...excuse me while I go barf with happiness

John Hankus

Must visit when in LA. Chili cheese fries . I like the three dog night or the one with the Polish sausage and pastrami .

Offbeat L.A.

Opened 1939. This famous chili dog stand was started as a push cart. The current building was built in 1947.

Adam Louis Friedman

Everything on the menu is great. You never know what celebrity is standing in lounge with you any day of the week! Very cool spot and affordably priced .

Thirsty James

HALLOWEEN DOG: Spicy polish dog w/ nacho cheese , American cheese , grilled onions , guacamole , and chopped tomatoes

Kelly ????

Rosie O'Donnell dog isn't overwhelming. Royal Dog is for those who need two dogs. Chef Jamie's dog is super messy and has fajita mix, ranch, BBQ sauce , and guac . Get frings. It's good to try once only

Jill Fitzpatrick

Best hot dog place in la. Order anything and you won't be disappointed

Joseph Fein

Damn good dogs. The line is long after 8pm but less busy around 6(during the week). Any dog is good just bring cash. Good service too.

Gina Nupp

The best hot dog *ever*. Great "snap". The bacon chili cheese dog was fabulous, and so were the bacon ranch fries . Definitely worth the wait in line .

Joseph C

Emeril Lagasse BAM!???? Dog: 9" Stretch Dog, Mustard , Onions , Cheese , Jalapeño , Bacon & Coleslaw ! $7.25 (+Tax) ????????

Rayshawn Williams

You can't go wrong with a bacon chili cheese dog topped with tomatoes here.

There's always a line but it's worth it, chilly dogs and the chilly fries are good they serve burgers too

VGRevolution

There are 3 places we go when on the west coast, Pink's is one of them. Amazing hot dogs and great onion rings , don't forget the BBQ Sauce .

Jinnie L

I love their bacon chili cheese dog , lord of the rings dog, n jaws (huge~burger) :D yumyum! long lines but worth the wait ;P

Christopher Kenney

Greatest hot-dogs ever. It's 24 hour , so the wait can sometimes be long seeing as it is in LA. Highly suggest the chili cheese dog .
