My niece and nephew love this place! The dining area is always nice and clean. There is a good amount of space inside as well as outside. The service has always been amazing! They always go out of their way to check in on the kids and make sure that they are enjoying their meals. Food is what you would expect for burger and fries. Burger is a good size and fries are good but I'm not big on shoestring fries. Overall always a good experience. Bathrooms are ok, they could be a bit cleaner at times. But I get it, people also need to be responsible for themselves.

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.

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?!

On Veteran's Day my son was off school so I decided to bring him here for lunch. He hasn't been here before and was surprised to find this train restaurant here. I have been here many many years ago. We got here around 12 and there was a big line. I guess it's a holiday and everyone is here. My son and I enjoyed our time here it's a very cute restaurant with great ambiance. We chose to sit outside cause it was a beautiful weather. I ordered us 1/2 pound Angie's burgers. So delicious. Very big, I couldn't finish it. We also shared a chili fries and New Yorker hot dog. Everything was delicious. Not my typical choice for food but it's a nice treat once in a while. I'm not a fan of burgers but my son is. We both loved our burgers at Carneys. Great customer service and reasonable prices.

The Place- This is a dining car from a train. Nice to do something different. The Service- Friendly Parking- Nice size lot with plenty of parking. The Food- Chili Cheeseburger- Good and recommended. Chili Cheese Fries- Delicious and highly recommended.

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.

Always a good visit to this establishment. Food and service are both good and I recommend the place for both adults and kids.

I've been eating Tommy's for two decades and everyone knows it's an institution as respectable as In-n-Out. Carneys chili is more delicious and the vegetables taste fresher in the chili cheeseburgers when compared to Tommy's. The Train Wreck Fries are also better than Animal Style Fries. The service was decent and the food was ready very quickly. Aside from delicious food, the establishment is located inside a Santa Fe Railroad car. The Santa Fe Railroad was one of the largest railroads servicing Southern California in addition to Union Pacific and Southern Pacific.

I absolutely love Carney's! I use to come here as a kid, now as an adult I bring my husband and children. The fun part about this place is your dining inside a vintage Southern Pacific railroad coach car. Small outside patio available as an alternative. Fun nostalgic vibes. Menu is simple: Burger, Sandwiches, Hot-Dogs, Fries, Salads, Shakes... but you are here for the Chili! It's mild yet flavorful all-beef chili. Get anything with chili on it is my recommendation. -Parking available in front/side - a private lot. - Cash/Card accepted. -Wheelchair/Stroller accessible (side ramp-on the right side of the train).

This a must have for me whenever I visit LA! This time I struggled with my decision, but I decided to get my usual: chili cheese hotdog with onions and fries! It was good but not as good as I've had in the past. The fries tasted like they had been cooked in old grease, hence the 4 stars! Next time I think I'll try the Red Eye which is a polish sausage without cheese though. My cheese was not melted on my chili cheese dog and that's a pet-peeve of mine! . I'll be back because I love the atmosphere and the service! However, it wouldn't hurt you to change your oil more often!!
