    Cheeseburger, Chili Cheese Fries
    Jasmine B.

    Haven't been to Carneys since I was a little girl. I was feeling nostalgic and stopped by for a cheeseburger and chili cheese fries. Taste just how I remember with a slightly smaller burger patty. Service was A-1 and my food was ready quickly. Best of all parking was a breeze. Love that it's still a train car.

    We are always down for a good smash burger and this one here is definitely a top contender! The restaurant is a literal train. Inside was clean and service was quick. They are most famous for their chili cheeseburger and chilli cheese fries, which is what my husband ordered. I opt to go just a little lighter with a regular cheese burger and a side of fries. Everything is made to order and super hot and fresh. It's what a burger should be! On the side they have those little pepperoncinis and it's always a perfect pairing. They were more than generous with the chili on the fries, enough so that I was able to get a taste and some. This is easily a spot that I would add on my go to places when in the area.

    My family and I have been going to Carneys for as long as I can remember. I haven't been in almost a year and it's just as good as it was before. I always go with the same thing. A cheese burger and chili cheese fries. For your chili cheese fries ask for the shredded cheddar cheese. Parking is super easy and sitting in the train is so nostalgic. Service is fast and easy. I love this place. You really can't do wrong with anything.

    After realizing the Saddle Ranch wasn't open yet, I decided to stop here for a quick lunch. I'm glad I did! The hot dog and chili fries were delicious. I've heard of this place before, but I never had a chance to stop in. The staff was very friendly and went out of their way to help me. Excellent service!! The seating inside the train was exactly how I imagined it to be, very small, and the Parking lot was the same.

    Closed at 11:25, not 12:00. Disappointing and rude to customers. I understand not taking orders at 11:58 but this is sad.

    This is such a fun and affordable burger stop. It's super fun being inside a choo-choo train car. The vibe is good. The cooks are energetic. They have fun names for everything. They had a delicious vegan burger and the prices are great and their fries. Oh my goodness, large size, please! It's just very good vibes and a fun stop if you're in West Hollywood highly recommend!!!

    Cute dog promoting the chili. Dog looks similar to ours.

    I've passed this place several times over the years, always meaning to stop in for a meal and this time my daughter and I were focused on going to a few businesses in this area and I made sure Carney's was part of it. The iconic bright yellow train cars at a bend on the Sunset Strip in WEHO are easy to spot. The entrance is a the end of a train car and the inside is an actual train car with ordering, the cooking and seating in the main car. Very different sort of setup here. The line was short and our servers were nice. The food came out in a reasonable amount of time as well. We shared a chili dog & fries. I loved the food for the simplicity of a good chili dog and ate all of it. This place is iconic and has good food. I will return here one day to try the burgers and perhaps another chili dog!

    I went to Carney's on Sunset yesterday. I had a regular tuna melt, chili cheese fries, and a root beer. The tuna melt came in a hamburger bun, but I thought sourdough toast would have been better. Also, the tuna didn't sit well in the bun. The chili cheese fries had a bit of a spicy flavor and I noticed a lack of fries for the amount of chili served. The root beer was refreshing. I love the location for the restaurant. I love the idea of dining in a railcar.

    If you're cruising down Sunset Blvd. and looking for something fast, fun, and full of flavor, Carney's is a must. Built inside a vintage yellow train car parked right along the boulevard, this spot has been serving up some great food since 1975. It's got that nostalgic feel, and once you step inside, you're hit with the old-school energy. Today I ordered their Carney's Original Chili Dog and a Double Cheeseburger. The chili dog was one of the best I've ever had. The hotdog had that perfect snap when you bite into it, juicy and smoky, with a ton of their house-made chili. Super rich, hearty, and seasoned just right. They top it with chopped onions, mustard, and two thick fresh-cut tomato slices, making it messy, bold, and packed with flavor. The Double Cheeseburger had two beef patties, American cheese, shredded lettuce, pickles, tomato, and mayo all stacked on a soft bun. It's a classic diner-style burger, not over the top, but definitely enjoyable. Whether you're a local grabbing a quick bite or a tourist checking out the Hollywood sights, this place has something cool that feels like a little escape from the city buzz.

    I haven't been here in years and still love their chili dogs! Those buns tho!How do they get them so perfectly soft Guess we came at a perfect time for a Friday nite! Right before we left, the Friday nite crowd started to fill up this iconic Union Pacific rail car on Sunset Strip. It was a nice nostalgic cruise!

    Amazing 5/5 stars. Best chocolate chip cookies ever. The sweet potato fries were amazing and the train-wreck fries were so so good. I got a lettuce wrap burger with a hot dog in it, I mean I was living my junk food dream (I was training for a pageant for 6 weeks and burgers were all I could think about). Open late! Chill service and ambience, youre in a train! Pretty cool

    If an old friend happened to be coming back in town would you comp him one of your fantastic burgers?

    It's Carney's Burgers, not mine ( I wish ! )- but yes, would comp any friend to a terrific burger at the place. Wouldn't think twice. What's not to love- the Train, the service, The Sunset Strip but number one- The Food !

    We steam our hotdogs and grill our Polish dogs and turkey dogs but you could have any of them grilled and any of them steamed. Any way you want them!

You can also find these tasty treats calling your name after a night on the town after partying it up at a club in downtown Los Angeles or Hollywood. As you stroll out of such venues, if you're lucky, often you'll find a little latina lady in her 40s, handling a jerry-rigged shopping cart, with a hot oven pan used as a hot plate, stacked on top of the shopping cart, with a disposable flame underneath. Laid across that pan, you'll find several sizzling hotdogs wrapped in bacon, along side sizzling onions and jalapenos, and some warm hotdog buns. There are often several carts in various corners; sometimes they compete for your business, sometimes, everyone falls in line. Whatever the situation, you're either drunk or severely excited to have one or five. "You want Eryting?" (meaning grilled onions, green bell peppers, ketchup, mayo) , the hotdog lady asks? Yes, as you get ready to hand her your $5 bill getting ready to devour your hotdog immediately after the exchange. Tijuana Dogs are a Downtown Los Angeles staple. They are like cheesedogs to Philly, reindeer dogs to Alaska, Halaal carts to New York, deep dish pizzas to Chicago. I've seen the police come by and snatch a poor lady's cart once.

No matter the reason, they're more tasty than they smell (if that's possible). Many have some hot dogs in all stages of their cook state (cooked enough, some char, lots of char, almost overcooked). A lot of the hot dog vendors have their PayPal/Venmo QR codes taped onto their cart. You can't tell the difference between the TJ dogs sold here and the ones in Tijuana. I've personally never gotten sick after eating these. Service is quick, there may be a bit of a language barrier, but not enough to prevent your purchase of a hot tasty TJ dog.

    Horrible customer service by the girl cashier!…read more I went there this past weekend with my kid. We come from Murrieta to LA to do shopping at least once a month, and little Tokyo is one of our first stops. The cashier has always been extremely nice and helpful. This time, when the guy cashier was about to help me, some girl cashier interrupted and took over. I thought it was a bit rude, but ok. She goes on to help me and I pay. Soon she gives me my drink. I ordered pink and she gives me a blue. I'm like, I said, PINK. She then says they don't have any with a serious face. The guy jumps in and tells me It's not ready and that I could wait, but he assured me my daughter will like it, so I said OK! (she did end up liking it) A few min later.. I get called for my order. They give me 1 hot dog instead of the 2 I ordered. Apparently, the young Asian girl cashier messed up again. I tell her I ordered two, and she's looking at me confused. She says she only charged for one. I pay and the guy the guy apologizes for it and says it'll be ready in 5. My kid is halfway done at this point and I'm still waiting for my order. I noticed the girl starts making it this time, and when it comes out it's smaller than usual. The WHOLE time this girl looks like she could care less about her job. At this point, I'm like regretting coming here and regretting not having lunch in a proper restaurant instead. I then go to the line to get validation and they have me waiting. It wasn't until a group of kids walked in that the girl quickly came out from the back (I'm sure they have cameras at the back). Anyway, I don't know if she is just new, having a bad day, or even tired of her job. But regardless, it shouldn't be taken on paying customers. This is why I give this place a 2 star. Corndogs were really good though, no issues there!
