First time here and beyond expectation. We ordered the chili cheeseburger, chili cheese fries and the New Yorker dog, spicy style.. Too good!!. Quick and good service.. Food was amazing. Everything was good, fresh and done quick.. The setup is pretty chill, eating inside a train car was cool and different. Will be back. read more

Carney's is an LA institution. And while the valley location might not get as much recognition as the original West Hollywood one, it's just as iconic and just as great of an experience. (Plus it has much better parking if you ask me). It's rare to not be here when there is a long line. Trust me. It's worth the wait. The chili here is top notch and the hot dogs have such a great bite to them. You can tell they're using good ingredients. I've been coming here on & off since the early 2000s when I started going to college and every time I come back (now with my wife and kids) it's just a hit of pure nostalgia. That first taste of chili dog just brings me back. I love it. The employees are always so friendly and helpful despite always being on the move doing everything they can to help get orders in and out of the kitchen. They're especially great with kids. Always saying hello (& if they're with you while you order, they often give a little 'freebee' of a fresh French fry or two). I rarely stray from the chili dog, but my wife often gets the double cheeseburger and my sons get either a hamburger or chili free hot dog. They all gobble them up and with 3 picky boys, that's about as good of a review as I can give. Eating inside an old converted train car is also a fun time. Does it make the restaurant small & sometimes hard to navigate when there's a long line? Sure. Does that deter from the experience? Absolutely not. I think it only adds to it. So, if you're in the valley and you want a unique dining experience while also enjoying some iconic food (albiet not healthy in the slightest), look no further than Carney's. You'll have a great time. I promise. read more

This place is awesome! I've brought friends here for them to try it out and they really love and wanting more. The food is amazing! The service is beyond friendly! And the place, the environment is so cool, you're eating inside a train! It's an incredible experience for first timers! Which reminds me, I need to bring my friend who's new to LA from Charlotte, NC. He's definitely gonna love it!!! read more

Crazy to say , grew up around these neighborhoods and this is the first time iv tried this ! Purposely came at non busy time so I can eat in peace LOL. But all honesty it was a good pick up , a train turned into a hamburger joint , pretty cool concept . Inside super clean! Cleaner than most big names fast food chain. Ordered a chili burger give it a 10/10. Now the train wreck fries not my things but it was good I'll do a 8/10 next time I'll just to a Chili Fries . Overall great experience, fast quick service . Can never go wrong with a chili burger and iced cold root beer ! read more

Carneys - Chili Hamburger & Train Wreck Fries - Burgers Near Me - Studio City, California

The hot dog with the Hawaiian mango salsa dog was so good that I came back for seconds the very next day! Workers were nice and patient. But what gave me the ick in my experience was how dirty the patio area was both times (can be very hot inside) and because trash was all over it definitely attracts rodents sadly. I say if you want to eat here, take it to go! I would've gave it 4 stars but the rats in the bushes by the patio just didn't sit well with me, I hope management addresses the waste situation soon. This place has potential, but cleanliness is just as important as good food. read more

I've been coming to Carneys since I was a teenager and they have the very best cheeseburgers and fries anywhere in the Valley. Get the Trainwreck fries, absolutely stellar! Service is fantastic, Bill is very friendly and helpful. Enjoy. read more

Great chili dog. We'll definitely stop by again if we're in the area. Going to try out the burger next time!

We've been craving Carneys for a while and decided to give them a visit thos past Friday. We both got the Carney dog and French fries, I got the train wreck fries and boy oh boy, did they satisfy our hot dog craving! The snap when you bite into that dog, the chili, the onions and the fresh tomatoes on top. The snap is the main thing for me, if it doesn't snap, it's not a perfect hot dog. My husband even went back and ordered himself a second one. There was also a really nice gentleman, Howard that works there and he was just super attentive and friendly. We got to chatting with him for a bit and we shared our love for LA and the iconic places to eat at and how somenof them are closing or being bought out. Carneys is definitely a staple in LA and I hope they continue to serve up their comfort, delicious hamburgers and hot dogs for another 100 years. The restaurant wasn't that busy for a Friday night and the place was clean, the restrooms were well tended to and their music Playlist set the vibe. read more

The food was incredible. The dogs are flavorful and have a wonderful snap to them. My kids are pretty picky, but they loved their hamburgers, and the fries were fresh from the fryer. It's such a simple meal but the flavor blew us away and didn't make us feel too full or gross afterward. Everything was balanced and delicious! All the ingredients were fresh. The inside of the cab is so clean, which is crazy considering how old it is. You can tell the staff / owners really care about this place and their customers because of how well kept it is and how affordable the menu is! I plan to return soon. How could you not?! read more

Who doesn't like eating in an old train? If you have kids, it's a fun casual place to walk around with the youngsters. Nice tables to eat inside and out. Such a classic in the area. I believe the place has been around for like 50+ years. Burgers. Hot dogs and shakes, simple menu. the food in my opinion is ok. Nothing too spectacular but the chili is what gets me every time. Yum! Chili. Cheese and onions on a hot dog. Can't beat it for a lunch time meal. I wish they could modernize it a little, but I guess the age of the place adds to its charm. read more

Yum! 1st time here I couldn't decide on what to get so I got a dbl cheeseburger, small chili cheese fries, train wreck fries, and a hot dog :-p hubby got the Chicagoan hot dog (we split the fries). Wow! I'm a lil piggy! lol I really enjoyed everything I ate! The hot dog (I got plain) was one of the best hot dogs I've ever had! Such great flavor and snap and it was piping hot (which I lie and appreciate). I tried the hot dog with ketchup and then with a lil chili from the fries and both were great! Would absolutely get this again! The cheeseburger was yummy! Glad I got a double instead of a single. Got it with let, tom, grilled onions, mayo and ketchup. Really good! Also put a little chili on the burger and wow! I will get that next time. The chili cheese fries were delicious! Yummy!!! Would definitely get these again too! Train wreck fries were good too but the chili cheese I liked more. Don't know what took me so long to eat here but better late than never! I will be back for sure....just not too soon! This is a meal that is a 3 or so times a year type thing (for me). Not the healthiest but so very good! Line was long but moved pretty good! Service was nice. Train was fun to eat in. Place was clean. read more

Been eating at Carneys for years, probably the best Burgers and Hotdogs you'll get in LA.

Consistently great quality. Fresh. Local. So grateful to have Carney's in the neighborhood as our go-to post golf range treat. read more

This place is my all time comfort food spot, with the best chili fries and chili dog in LA - much better than Pinks and their chili beats Tommy's, though that's more subjective neck and neck. It's also the type of spot that makes your order exactly how you want it so if it isn't the best hot dog you've had, it's because you didn't order it right! I get my chili dog split and grilled, grilled bun, no tomato, grilled onions and it's a dose of cheat day meal perfection. Carney's has an above average sized menu for a Burger, hot dog, and fries spot with wraps and chicken salads I frankly can't speak on because I always come for my old favorites. Oh and can't beat the old train car ambiance. Carney's is an LA institution and beloved locals spot. I've been going here over 30 years and it will be my greasy chili, tasty food about monthly treat to myself till I die. As a true born and breed Los Angeleno, if I had to decide between keeping In-N-Out or keeping Carneys and only one could remain, it would be sad but hands down easy decision... Carney's. read more

Yum!!! How fun to eat on a train! My 3.5 year old had such a fun time! The food is delicious and affordable. We got so much food and a giant drink for $30. The chili is amazing and the fries are so crispy. The hotdogs were so flavorful and delicious. It's definitely an experience to be able to eat inside a train. The line is long but it moves pretty quick. The food comes out hot and fast. I can't wait to come back! read more

Ah Carney's! A classic Los Angeles place to get a hot dog or a hamburger. We've always had a good time when we've come to this location, although there are some minor issues that are a recurring pattern. The food is always good, although I'm not a huge fan of their chili. The food is also reasonably priced and you always get good portion sizes. So what are the issues? Well first of all (and this is a big one) the line and check out stand are very poorly run. It's not uncommon for them to get your order wrong, and then it's not uncommon for them to give your order to another customer when you're waiting to pick up. I have watched them give my entire order to a customer who ordered after me, and then that customer tells them it's also the wrong order. There's no way around it, This just needs to be organized better. The other issue that we've had is that there's very limited seating inside the restaurant. I understand this means they're a victim of their own success but it would be nice if there was more seating at this location. But again, the food is good and my kids always have fun when we come here because they get to eat inside a train car. read more

This place is always a great experience. The Hawaiian Dog (photo) has easily become my favorite. Spicy Polish dog with a special mustard and LOADED with the absolute freshest mango salsa. It is THE BOMB!!! The women behind the counter can get a tad grouchy, but it's hot, and they are working the grill at breakneck speed to keep up with the lunch rush. I think we can forgive ... it's hard work. Despite the crowds, they keep the place clean and the food is always fresh. It's always worth the wait. read more

Carneys - The Hawaiian Dog is BOMB!!! - Burgers Near Me - Studio City, California

We had a great experience here... we were randomly craving hot dogs and searched online and found this. The restaurant is an old train which was so cool. The people working were all so nice and friendly. This is a classic late night bite - hot dogs, burgers and fries. All very tasty. We had the chili and cheese class dog, a New York dog and a Hawaiian dog. They were so fresh and the hot dog itself was delicious! Highly recommend! read more

I was reminded just how yummy this LA iconic stop was when stopping in during the pandemic; we were trying to find a place to escape to. We have so many burger options in LA & many have a place in my heart, but this is one I needed the reminder to not neglect stopping in once in a while because when it comes to burgers & hot dogs, this is a place you can get some of the best. The food reminded me of being a little kid when burgers were the filet mignon of eating out, & fries were my happy place! My burger was fresh & tasty & our hot dogs were exactly how I like them, lightly crispy on the outside & super juicy on the inside. The fries are some of my favorite, long & thin. All of the condiments are fresh & I love the shredded lettuce & hot dog toppings, it's all perfect tasting. The service was amazing, when they're busy with orders, they're so efficient at processing them all & getting their orders ready, I always notice that when waiting for food- such pros! I'm so glad we stopped in when we did, because we've been making a point to go more regularly... & right now in the summer months, it's the perfect spot to take your family- you can sit outside & not worry about making a mess in your kitchen. read more

Awesome idea of having a restaurant inside a train cart. It definitely is what attracts people to come. Ordered a red eye the carneys way and it wasn't too bad. The chili could use some more flavor and the bun could have been toasted to prevent it from being soggy. Would not come back for the dogs but the burgers are for-sure the way to go. 4 stars if the price wasn't so high! read more

Delicious Hawaiian dog! Mango, salsa, mustard... Really hit the spot for Sunday, afternoon lunch

It's always a pleasure to eat here when in LA. Good food, friendly service, fun and clean environment. Cant go wrong with burgers and hot dogs, among their other choices. Their beef patties are on the thinner side but still flavorful (get a double!). When dining in, I find it most appealing to get a table away from the ordering counter/kitchen. If it starts to get busy, the line builds around those tables, making the meal seem crowded and uncomfortable. The parking lot can get busy but offers enough space for everyone. Family friendly, budget friendly, life friendly. read more

I've taken my kids here probably 20 times now. They keep wanting more, it's amazing! The burgers and the sweet potato fries are their favorite - and always the vanilla milkshake. read more

An all American food staple. The burger was exactly what you'd expect at a family BBQ. Hot dogs & fries are nothing to write home about. The service is dry, even for a slow Thursday night there was not smiles behind the counter. The atmosphere is very casual, quick wholesome bite that beats a fast food spot any day. Didn't wait much for our meals. A spot to visit in the summer as they have a nice large patio with large picnic tables. read more

1-8-25 I'm so grateful for Carney's! It's like a journey back in time, vintage train car seating and mouth-watering burgers and hot dogs! Their staff is always so warm and welcoming, making me feel like I'm part of something special every time I visit! I definitely recommend them, especially if you have that Saturday morning downtime with your kids!! read more

chill atmosphere, easy to order, good burgers, but $7 for a large fry that isn't big is criminal

Saturday 11am pickup Double chili cheese burger is always a classic at Carneys. Juicy burger with a nice savory chili makes for a perfect bite. Coupled with some sweet potatoe fries, and that's a good meal. They have a parking lot with plenty of seating inside a TRAIN!! Wooden outdoor seating too. Service is always fast. Make sure to get some self-serve hot peppers while you wait. Been coming here since I was a kid. Top notch burger in Studio City. read more

"Probably the BEST hot dogs and hamburgers in the world" - certainly the best Carney dogs!!! The dog is superb, the chili is sublime (yes, sublime! Get w/fries)) all the way down to the beefsteak tomato slice on top. Classic train diner decor also. I've been eating these since 1981, and 'Mr.Bill' and crew always serve up the very best!! Tommy's? Pink's?? Don't make me laugh... read more

I love the food here wish they served beer like the other location on Sunset Blvd. Their chili is amazing, and definitely one of a kind!

Nice to be sitting inside an iconic train for lunch! read more

TLDR; Come for the aesthetics, not the food. The only good thing about this place is the train. The food was disgusting. We ordered the turkey burger, turkey hot dog, tuna melt, and a regular hamburger. The turkey burger was whiter than Casper. The fries had no salt. Everything was, well, frozen. read more

Carneys is one of my favorite places as of yesterday. I first went to the original Carneys on Sunset Boulevard in Hollywood over 40 years ago. It has only gotten better as time goes on. The first thing that comes to mind is the fact that the burger is made from prime beef. The size and value along with sweet potato fries are just so delicious and not too be missed. I personally would put them on par with Pinks. The dogs have the snap you'd expect from a perfect dog. The beef and again size of the burgers are just about as . good as it gets. I highly recommend Carneys. The ambiance is very cool with the train cars and overall vibe. The service is really good. Employees are very friendly. You just can't be disappointed. If it's dogs and burgers then this is the perfect place for you. read more

So I heard about this place thru my oldest son who said he used to go here all the time and hasn't been back since joining the military, he is currently stationed in N.C. so we both flew into California for my youngest son and his brother's graduation so we all decided to go check this place out. When you get here its really cool looking, its a train caboose. The menu is really cool and the food is delicious. I had a Red Eye Carneys Original with Train Wreck Fries. The hot dog was VERY delicious but being from Detroit you really can't beat any Coney Dog in Detroit or Michigan for that matter but it really was delicious. The jalapeños, onions, and sauce was very good and the fries were amazing, it had 1000 Island dressing, cheese, grilled onions and meat. Definitely worth the visit. read more

Not too bad not too great, good spot to grub at. Not sure how late they are open as I didnt see the hours but this would hit just right for a late night munch attack. Train wreck fries were good but exactly the same as in n outs. Except for the fries, obviously, which gave the whole thing a different taste. The burger was just ok, personally im not a fan of the big tomato slice. Theres more that I'd like to try so im sure id be back read more
