Just stopped by there today, after a morning at Disney Gay Days... and discovered that Pinks Hot Dogs now has a branch in the Knotts Marketplace! It doesn't seem to be a full menu, but hey... at least there's no line. So far.
I saw that at the Haunt but wasn't sure it was the real pink's. It did have a smaller menu but Knott's has Disney's number when it comes to food options.
I haven't been to Knotts in years, but I love Pinks. It's rare for me to drive by Pink's in Hollywood and the line isn't very long ... So when I do see the line is short, I almost feel like I have to stop.
if your going south on 5 exit el toro make a lft at el toro go under the 5 freeway take your first right after you go under the freeway. hardy ever a line there.
-_____- i went there Friday for Haunt, and i always thought it was there. well, im not sure if it's just the name that has changed because i remember some snack place there before. we ordered chili cheese fries, it was funny. it was chili fries with a slice of unmelted cheese. it was good still.
It may be part of the same company, but sorry - there's only one Pink's, and that's the one in L.A. Others are not the same, merely facsimiles.
i've never been to the one in Hollywood but some of my friends lived in La and went there they said the one in El toro is as good as the on in La and these were guys in there 40's.
The haunt was my first time at knotts, so I had thought it had been there forever, We ordered a burger and dawg, It was pretty close to perfection. Im planning out my week off in october thinking to myself, "Self should I plan a trip to or near knotts just for the pinks, I think I might. But all and all my review is a solid two thummbs up. Pinks Knotts is great "Just watch out for the dawgs with jalepeno, wowza hot stuff.

I'm just saying it's kinda like Tommy's. They have lots of Tommy's burgers around that serve burgers that are probably just as good. And I patronize them when I can, just like I would the Pinks in OC if I were there.
I'm just saying to me, in my warped brain, there's only one Pinks - the original - and there's only one Tommy's - the original.
I hope that makes sense.
God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference.
i totally agree i'm like the too. There might be alot and in a pitch u will go some where different, but the one u first went to some how is always the best.
http://www.in-n-out.com/images/history_people2.gifIn 1948, the first In-N-Out Burger was founded by Harry and Esther Snyder in Baldwin Park. Harry's idea of a drive-thru hamburger stand where customers could order through a two-way speaker box was quite unique. In that era, it was common to see carhops serving those who wanted to order food from their car. Harry's idea caught on and California's first drive-thru hamburger stand was born. The Snyder's business philosophy was simple: "Give customers the freshest, highest quality foods you can buy and provide them with friendly service in a sparkling clean environment." These principles have worked so well over the years that they are still the company's fundamental philosophy. Quality, freshness, and service were very important to Harry and Esther. Their sons, Guy and Rich, learned the business from the "ground floor". From an early age, Guy and Rich worked at In-N-Out, learning the principles that were to become the cornerstones of In-N-Out's philosophy.
It was almost three years before a second In-N-Out was opened. By the time of Harry Snyder's death in 1976, there were only 18 drive-thru locations. Rich took over as President at the age of 24, and with Guy's help, established a commissary at the Baldwin Park Headquarters. This new facility allowed In-N-Out to have total quality control over all In-N-Out ingredients. In addition, they created the In-N-Out "University", where new managers are trained and the In-N-Out formula for success is consistently reinforced. While Rich was President, In-N-Out grew from those 18 locations in 1976 to 93 locations at the time of his death in 1993. Guy Snyder became Chairman of the Board and CEO in 1993.
As Chairman of the Board, H. Guy Snyder, (the H. stands for Harry, named after his father) led In-N-Out into the future with continued expansion throughout California, Nevada and Arizona. Guy carried on the same tradition that was set in 1948 by his parents, stressing the same basic values that helped make In-N-Out so successful. While Guy was Chairman of the Board, In-N-Out grew from 93 locations to 140 at the time of his death in 1999. http://www.in-n-out.com/images/history_anniversary_nobg.gifThe atmosphere of enthusiasm for serving customers the freshest quality hamburgers and french fries can be seen all the way from the many store locations to the office Associates.
