in
Sandusky, Ohio Pink's has named several newer menu items after Hollywood
celebrities, some of whom can be seen at the restaurant. A smaller selection of
hamburgers are available, and desserts are a choice of coconut or
marble cake. There is usually a long line of customers in front despite the lack of parking in the area. The often slow-moving line is viewed by some as part of the attraction at Pink's, especially on Friday and Saturday nights when the stand becomes packed with club and concertgoers. Pink's has a parking lot attendant, even though parking is free. According to the menu, Pink's original signature chili dog, with a measure of , remains the stand's top seller. During the
Los Angeles Dodgers'
World Series run against the
Houston Astros in 2017, the restaurant changed its name to Blue's and repainted its pink and white facade for the first time in 78 years, making it blue and white and featuring Dodger logos and player names on the windows. They also challenged Good Dog Houston, a Texas-based hot dog stand, to a friendly bet. The winner would give out 250 free hot dogs courtesy of the losing city's hot dog stand. But the Astros won the series. The restaurant named itself Blue's again when the Dodgers made it to the World Series for the team's battles against the
Boston Red Sox in 2018, the
Tampa Bay Rays in 2020, the
New York Yankees in 2024 and
Toronto Blue Jays in 2025; the Dodgers won the latter three series. In mid-March 2020, caused by the
COVID-19 pandemic, as with other restaurants, its locations indefinitely shut down indoor dine-ins. Pink's flagship location closed between mid-March to mid-August 2020 and shut down again from January 4 to February 2021.
