Creatively topped dogs (some named for celebrities) draw long lines at this historic roadside spot.

I’m back at Pink’s, and honestly, it never gets old. This place is a legendary L.A. staple for a reason, and even after multiple visits, it still hits the spot every single time.
The energy here is classic Hollywood—between the long line of fellow hot dog fans and the walls covered in celebrity headshots, you really feel the history of the place. Despite the crowd, the service is always efficient and friendly, which I really appreciate.
I went with the Chili Cheese Dog again because that secret family recipe chili is unbeatable, but I also tried one of their celebrity dogs this time. The snap of the Hoffy-brand franks is exactly what you want in a gourmet hot dog, and they definitely don’t skimp on the toppings.
Whether it’s your first time or your fiftieth, Pink’s is an absolute must-visit landmark. I’m already looking forward to my next trip back to try another one of their 40+ combinations!
Since you enjoy the celebrity-themed menu there, would you like me to find the ingredients for a specific star’s hot dog so you can plan your next order?

Super popular place for chili dogs, but I don’t see why. They don’t taste very good to be honest. The atmosphere was eclectic and it’s a really cool place to be and see photos of famous people who have frequented here. However, the food just didn’t taste that great. I asked for the pink famous chili hamburger, with added jalapeños, and it just didn’t even have any flavor. Their french fries with chili also were not appetizing. To be known for their chili and the chili have zero flavor, is really a no-no.
The service was outstanding, however very kind friendly people.

Looking for an iconic place to eat and have a good meal? Pinks is loved my many and a lot of movie stars and famous people have come here to enjoy their food. There’s a huge variety of special hot dogs developed and those are given and named after famous people. There are photos of all the famous people who have visited and signed their pictures with autographs. The menu has so many different types of hot dogs developed and sides to choose from to make a great meal. It is so hard to choose just one and their fries and onion rings are so good too. The combos come with fries and a drink; you then select the best drink in a bottle for you. There’s plenty of seating to accommodate you or more people in which accessible accommodation is available also. Parking is free and available for all. This is a kid friendly restaurant and you can dine in or have your order for takeout. If you want a sweet dessert, there’s Voodoo donuts next door. You cannot miss both places, they are both hot pink and stand out. The prices are reasonable and the hot dogs are very good and can fill you up.

Finally checked out the legendary Pink’s Hot Dogs! Since 1939, they’ve been serving up incredible hot dogs at the exact same spot.
It’s a favorite for everyone from Hollywood stars and sports icons to tourists from all over the world.
Even in the rain, the line was out the door! ️ After nearly 40 minutes of waiting, I finally got to order.
They have so many different styles of hot dogs and burgers to choose from—definitely worth the wait!

The best hotdogs here in Los Angeles! Service was fast and friendly (the lady who took our orders memorized everything which kinda shocked us) the place was a little too small for such an amount of costumers, however, the outdoor sitting saved us. Food was decently priced and really delicious. I really recommend this place and if you go there, try the Shaq dog!

Ok, so I will tell you my experience, here, though thousands of others have come here over multiple decades.
Be patient in line. Today the line wasn’t really too long, but you need patience to get up to the place to order. So, choose what you want before you get there, which will make other’s behind you happy.
My choice was the LaLa Land dog. Look it up online in their menu, its easier.
Nostalgic place, some seating out back, park on LeBrea or Waring, its easier.
Look at all the pictures there, and funky Pink’s stuff. Enjoy!

Pink’s Hot Dogs, a Hollywood icon since 1939, started as a $50 pushcart slinging 10-cent chili dogs and has grown into a Fairfax District landmark at 709 N La Brea Ave, famous for snappy all-beef franks, celebrity-named specialties (like the Martha Stewart Dog with sauerkraut and sour cream), and walls plastered with signed star photos from Orson Welles to Snoop Dogg.
It’s beloved for its nostalgic vibe and endless toppings, but lines can stretch an hour, and some say the hype outshines the “average” dogs.
If you pass through LA, you should visit.
A classic LA spot with history… loved the outdoor garden and celebrity wall.
Fabulous spot, and their chili is delicious.

Iconic Hollywood chili dogs – count me in. We only waited in line about 15 minutes at a 1:00pm time. We tried the dog and the burger. Both good. Prices were good and the staff was nice and welcoming. Worth the trip.

Finally tried Pinks Hot Dogs, the legendary hot dog joint that’s been on my bucket list. Featured in movies, TV shows, and travel books for a reason! I had a Bacon Chili Cheese Dog and a Double Bacon Chili Cheeseburger – wow, just wow. It’s always crowded and chaotic, but the staff is super nice and the food is worth the wait. Parking can be a bit tricky, though. Congrats on their 85th Anniversary!
