I'm not the least bit surprised that they finally closed this location. It was way overrated and overpriced. They had a long line when they first opened but that went away quickly. For the past year or so it was no more busy than your average Der Wienerschnitzel...and that's saying quite a bit. Anyway, another over-priced fast-food joint bites the dust.

Did not have pinks kick like what you get at original pinks on la Brea in LA. The location at Knotts berry farm was even better.could be the freshness was missing. Everything was medium warm.Parking: Parking was great it's at the mall near the entrance

Lady was rude. Was taking to a coworker while I was telling her my order. They don't have lids for the drinks and utensils for the food. How will I eat my chillie fries and drink out of my soda with no straw?

Happy to see that there's a Pink's Hotdog in Brea mall food court after we finished shopping. I was supposed to get their classic Pink's dog but we were craving for Pink's burgers instead. We ordered 2 cheeseburger and a kids meal corn dog combo with fries and a drink. The cheese burger tasted so so, I was a bit disappointed by the bun coz it was not soft and the meat quality was mediocre except it was big and thick. They put a lot of mayonnaise in between. The corn dog was not bad but we like the fries the most. They gave us a big portion of fries on top of two corn dogs. I can only give 3 stars at this location this time but I will try their chili cheese dog, onion ring and mozzarella sticks and write the updates next time.

Pink's chili cheese dog was really good. Extra long weiner and a very meaty tasting chili ...perfection.

Food was good. I’m particular about bread on sandwiches so I’m docking a couple of stars because the bun used is disappointing. For it to hold chili and hotdog, the bun should have more structure than what was used. It was mostly air and broke apart once you lift it to take a bite. Other than the bread, everything else was fine.

I wish there was a way to give less than 1 star. The only thing this had in common with the real pinks was that I think I ate a hot dog. Stale bun warm dog . So extremely disappointing.

Heard about how good Pink's is but didn't want to drive all the way to LA. Since I haven't tried this place before I can't say if it is comparable but the hot dog quality is pretty amazing. I got Italian hot dog because of mushrooms and peppers, and the result was very enjoyable. The snappiness of the sausage mixed with melted cheese and mushrooms created a combo that is a recipe for food coma. It is located in the brea mall food court so there are a lot of people and seats around. Service was quick and efficient, they have condiments like relish ketchup and mustard for self service. If I am in the area I may come back to try other options like Chicago and OC, their polish hot dog is something I am curious about for sure!

First time trying this place. Happy to see they have a beyond meat hot dog. Ordered the beyond meat hotdog Chicago style and zucchini fries. Um first off. All the sausages are way too big for these puny hot dog buns. You pick it up and it just falls apart. Second, the beyond Chicago dog was nothing like a real Chicago dog. It was just some pieces of onion and tomato and relish. Portillos and weinershintzel are by far better. Hate to say it. don't see what the hype is about this place. Zucchini fries were okay.wont be coming back

Charge extra for everything. Fries are cheap and unseasoned now. smaller portions too
The food went from the restaurant style ww used to love to fast food, the chili was made with like shredded beef. It is not the same quality

Zucchini fries were extremely disappointing. This is what I got for $5.50. Not a huge hot dog fan so I tried their burger which was pretty good!

Super huge dogs and sides are delicious. I would've given a 5 if it wasn't for the parking and long wait line.

I first had a Pink's about 25 years ago somewhere in Hollywood...tried about 5 things somewhere after midnight and wound up sick the next day. Nevertheless, I hold a special place in my heart for a good hot dog. I ate here at Brea mall after shopping for some gifts. It occupies the old Hot Dog On A Stick location and honestly that should have stayed. Whatever. Pinks is so-so. Taste is so-so. Quality is so-so. Staff is so-so. Price is overpriced. But...but...but...when you need a hot dog in the area, what else can you do? Costco wins 1,000 times over, but this is convenient if you're in the mall which makes it a winner. Maybe Costco can open a pizza and hot dog stand in the Brea mall food court? There would be a line out the door, I'm sure.

Very disappointed. Showed up at 7:41 pm on a Saturday night and they would not take my order because they claimed this shut down at 7:30. Who shuts down that early on a weekend in a mall food court? Checked yelp and it said they shut down at 8. This is operationally a bad move to shut down during the dinner time on a Saturday night. Be better Pinks.
