Editorial Description by Citysearch
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. T-shirted tourists and local die-hards order at the counter and grab napkins from a bathroom towel dispenser at the end of the line. Trademark burgers and hot dogs are served in cardboard boxes, often drenched in chili and accompanied by bottled beer or lemonade in a paper cup.

YUMMY!  4 Star Rating - Very good

By Kelsey T. | insider Insider | Rank: 18,685

I'm a big fan of carney's chili burgers! It's not the healthiest meal to eat but it's delicous. I'm also a fan of they're quesadillas! The only thing I probably don't like there is the hot dogs...they're kind of chewy. But other than that Carney's is great: the location, the service, and the food!

Ewwwwe Garden burger hell 1 Star Rating - Unsatisfactory

By jimmynomates

Carney's was a tour de force of scary fake burger meat, which I think is the worst kind of meat and the queen of bad food. Many orders were mixed up and my lettuce mayo burger came out as a 1000 Island dressing disaster.

Suffice it to say, I did not enjoy Carney's very much.

Turkey burger! 4 Star Rating - Very good

By planetb

I'm a huge fan of the turkey burger at Carney's - it's very very good. Not 'gournet' good...just plain tasty. It takes about 10 minutes to cook - always a good sign - meaning they prepare it fresh. Thumbs up.

Tasteless hot dogs 1 Star Rating - Unsatisfactory

By LAN92

The hot dogs were tasteless and when I asked for ketchup instead of mustard, I was made to feel like I was a freak.

Pros: Clean eating area
Cons: Don't ask for anything special.

Probably NOT the best hamburgers in town! 1 Star Rating - Unsatisfactory

By braunb

Probably NOT the best hamburgers in town. Alright, its junk food, and in that category they're OK. But these are grease burgers, just watch the way they cook them. Its cholesterol city. And the burgers do NOT look like the pictures on the billboards. Fries are OK, but too thin for me. I don't go here any more, I'd rather spend a bit more and get something better.

Pros: Huh?
Cons: Greasy burgers, thin fries.
