We really enjoyed the fun of eating in this converted railway carriage. Food was good, we both chose the burgers. Fairly priced.

Quite a long wait to be served on this quirky train, plenty of time to look over the menu, that boasts No. 1 Hot Dogs in LA! We grabbed a hot dog and chili fries and enjoyed the difference in what we were expecting and what we got. Being from Australia, I have just had a basic hot dog with... More

Everybody raves about Carneys, it's mentioned on every tour and in every guide book so I was eager to visit. I must say that I was disappointed. It is a lot more rickety inside than I expected and to be truthful I was eager to leave. The food was very average!

This is a must stop for late night drunken food. Chili cheese fries and hot dogs are perfect grease filled wonderfulness that you need after the bars. Probably won't taste the same before 11pm so be warned if you are not under the influence, better idea to go somewhere else.

Famous for its hot dogs - and deservedly so. They also make a good burger. Hot dogs, hot links, and chiliburgers all come in at less than $4. Ingredients are very fresh and all food made to order. The location is tough to beat. Plenty of window seats looking out on Sunset Boulevard and ample parking behind the restaurant. Great... More

The chili cheesedogs and burgers are simple and perfect. This Los Angeles chain which is housed in old train cars is a LA institution. The food is cheap and great. There's a reason they've been around for so long.

I have been coming to Carneys for over 30 years. I don't live in LA anymore, but try to get by when in town, when the urge hits. It's a so bad for you treat. The double chili cheeseburger with Everthing, extra pickle is my thing. The wet chili is different than the loose meat style in the Midwest. Beware,... More
