In Short
This casual SoCal burger joint inhabits a bright yellow Amtrak passenger car from the 1920s, and its white- and red-paneled walls sport old framed black-and-whites documenting its disco-era construction. T-shirted tourists and local die-hards order at the counter and grab napkins from a bathroom towel dispenser at the end of the line. Trademark burgers and hot dogs are served in cardboard boxes, often drenched in chili and accompanied by bottled beer or lemonade in a paper cup.

I'm a big fan of carney's chili burgers! It's not the healthiest meal to eat but it's delicous. I'm also a fan of they're quesadillas! The only thing I probably don't like there is the hot dogs...they're kind of chewy. But other than that Carney's is great: the location, the service, and the food!

Carney's was a tour de force of scary fake burger meat, which I think is the worst kind of meat and the queen of bad food. Many orders were mixed up and my lettuce mayo burger came out as a 1000 Island dressing disaster. Suffice it to say, I did not enjoy Carney's very much.
