“ Wonderful experience at Pinks at Universal City Walk! Chili Cheeseburger was so delicious. We finished it off with a strawberry funnel cake that was to die for!! Highly recommended! Something for everyone at this restaurant! ”
“ Decided to kill some time before universal studio horror nights and grabbed a bite to eat. I got the El cucuy hot dog while my husband got the burrito hot dog. My hotdog was ginormous,delicious and messy. Fair warning be ready for juice to squirt and drip when biting your hotdog weenie lol. My husband very much enjoyed the burrito and was super full. I would say good amount of food for the price. We got the regular chili fries to share, we barely finished them because how full we got. The chili was very delicious as well. ”
“ I still prefer the original, but this is almost as good. I wish the menu was bigger, but I guess with the topping I can make most of my favorites. They always make everything fast. With universal pass they give a discount too. ”
“ First time trying Pinks Hot Dog in SoCal at Universals CityWalk! This place has a flavorful Bacon Chili Cheese Dog with tasty Bacon Ranch Fries! But to be careful, food is messy but its worth it! I would come back here again when visiting LA along with Universal Studios nearby with its upcoming Nintendo World next year. ”
“ The atmosphere of this little spot is pretty nice. Very Mulholland drive sunset drive vibes. If that makes any sense to anyone iykyk lol. I tried the pastrami burrito dog. A big flour tortilla wrapped around 2 dogs, grilled pastrami, Swiss cheese, chili, and onions. This thing was delicious! A bit on the small side for me, but thats my opinion. The dogs were cooked just right, no rubbery chew to them. The pastrami with chili was a great combo, and the cheese was a perfect addition. I will definitely go here again and try one of the classic hot dogs. ”
“ After a long day at universal studios, I stopped in to give this place a try and it did not disappoint! The service was great, my order was made promptly and with great care. Beautiful presentation and the flavor adventure was I got the spicy ozzy dog and the bacon ranch fries. The bacon, was delicious! The hot dog, makes a mess, but thats ok, no one is allowed to judge you while eating a messy hot dog! Give them a try! Youll enjoy it! ”
“ Its a secret place for Pinks lovers away from Hollywoods busy and long line. You can get your regular hotdogs in this place. Although not all of the menu items in Hollywood. Nice service. This area is in City Walk food court area. ”
“ Bottom line the fries and the dogs hit the spot. We tried Pinks Hot Dogs and I can see why all the celebrities are enjoying these sausages. Theyre tasty, simple, and with a chili recipe that doesnt over complicate a good dog. Fries were delicious too, we got the orginal chili dog and cheese fries with bacon. Staff super nice Price Yum? Simply, yes! . ”
