What People Are Saying About Carney's
The Owner
Carney's
Owner
Carney's is a family-owned, casual burger and hot dog restaurant, housed in an 1920s Amtrak train car. Regulars and tourists alike pile into the diner-inspired interior featuring original signs and vintage photographs and sit down for a satisfying, yet affordable, meal.
The menu includes such items as cheeseburgers, chicken, wraps, sandwiches, salads, chili fries and a few select desserts, such as the chocolate-dipped frozen banana. Hot dogs range from the Carney's Hot Dog (chili, mustard, tomatoes and onion) to the Spicy Polish New Yorker (sauerkraut and mustard). Delivery is available until 4:30pm with an $8 minimum.

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, plus historic photos of the area. Tee-shirted tourists and local die-hards order at the counter and grab napkins from a bathroom towel dispenser at the end of the line. Burgers and hotdogs are served in cardboard boxes, often drenched in chili and accompanied by lemonade in a paper cup.

Used to be a great place for burgers. Hot dogs are still okay but the last few times there the hamburger meat was paper thin and tasteless. Double cheeseburger came with one slice of cheese, I ask for another slice and they charged fifty cents more with a bad attitude to boot. The man that owned/managed(?) from a few years ago is not there. He built up a good business with good food and service. They must have sold the franchise and the new owners have gone on the cheap. I miss the place but will go elsewhere for a good hamburger.

Carney's is a restaurant located inside of a train box car. They are known for their tasty hot dogs and other foods of that type. Carney has a cool theme and a cool vibe. It's fun to go there.

Located in an old box car, this is a taste of true old Hollywood, where it used to be. The food is good and reasonable. If you work in the area, great place to grab lunch.
