  Food same quality as in and out. Double the price. Took 30 minutes to order during non peak hour. Atmosphere is cool but stuffy in the train.

  Love Carneys have been going there for over 40 years. It was so cool to go to the sunset one and see the minions took over. Really cool. Oh and the food is always great!!

  My parents were passionate about Carneys. It's located on Sunset between the house where I grew up and where my dad worked for most of his life. My mom, a gourmand like myself, was very fond of the hot dog. (My haute taste favors the veggie burrito, which has nothing to do with Carneys.) In the 1970s, we went there all the time, so every inch of this train car diner is nostalgia to me. You know how you walk into a place you once frequented and memories surge, pleasant or otherwise, especially when everything is much as it has always been. I see the wooden stairs from my once pint-sized perspective and I'm still overcome with the excitement I once had about eating hotdogs in a train car. Though now, I have been a vegetarian for decades and there isn't a vegetarian hot dog option, so I ordered The Hungry Planet vegan Burger. My order wasn't quite right, but I was too famished to mention it. Like Pink's second cousin, Carneys is the sort of unique spot that you don't find everywhere and should be just as cherished by Angelenos.

  Lunch in a train car!!! First time going to Carney’s, but not the last time. There are a good number of tables, even if it is packed, it seems like tables open up all of the time. And with a great, elevated view of Sunset. There is parking, some of the spots are a bit tight, but there are a good amount of spots. There is a lot of history on the walls, definitely a classic restaurant. And restrooms you do not need a code for. If the door is locked, someone is in there. The restaurant is clean and full of character. The menu is small, but well thought out with dogs and sausages, as well as burgers, salads and wraps. I have been wanting a thick burger for a while, everything seems to be a smash burgers right now…. This hit the spot. Thick and juicy quality meat and not over cooked. I got the half pound burger, med rare. With a New York style turkey dog for my partner. Split the train wreck fires and we were stuffed. The burger was well cooked, not dry at all. Very substantial. The turkey dog does take a bit longer to cook, but was told that it was worth it. It was cooked well and was full of flavor. The fries are really good and are very messy, better than the competitions.
