What People Are Saying About Carney's
Featured Review

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.
Editor's Tips
- The Extras:
- Carney's also has a second landmark location on the Sunset Strip.
- When to Go:
- Lunchtime tends to be very busy. For a more mellow meal, consider going for dinner during the week.
- Know Before You Go:
- All sandwiches are available "low-carb style," wrapped in lettuce.

Used to love it, now won't go.
by FairDeal4all at Citysearch
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.

Polish Dog Red Barron Is The BEST Hot Dog Ever!

I love this Hot Dog so much I make a trip from Thousand Oaks craving it. You must try the RED BARRON POLISH DOG. You will not be disappointed. Love it! Wish they would open up in Thousand Oaks
- Pros: Best Hot Dog- The RED BARRON POLISH DOG. Casual, comfortable train seating environment
- Cons: none

Searching for a "real" Chicago Style Hot Dog
by TdogKing at Citysearch
I went looking for a " real " Chicago Dog and what I found was a standard relish dog called a " Chciagoan ", I also tried the Carneys which is a chili dog. The hot dogs were good as regular hot dogs could be, so my search is still on .

Classic No Frills Burger Joint wins by sticking to the basics
by lxmadrid at Citysearch
Had a great burger and chili dog meal. Burger was bloody as hell and juicy to an insane degree. Chili dog was solid, using Hoffy dogs (the choice of all of LA's classic hot dog joints), but not great. For my money I'd stick with Chronis. Fries were great. Setting had tons of personality.
Solid B
- Pros: Juiby Awesome Burgers, Unique setting

Great Hot Dogs with a Snap!
by porkjello at Citysearch
One sign of a good hot dog is if it snaps when you bite into it. There are many hot dog places in L.A. but only a few places do hot dogs right and Carney's is definitely one of the top hot dog places in the southland. Unlike another crowded hot dog stand, Carney's keeps their menu simple. I recommend the standard chili dog or the Chicagoan with relish, onions and mustard.
- Pros: Hot Dogs and ample parking
