Carney's

Probably the best hamburgers and hot dogs...in the world.

  • Outdoor patio
  • Open late
  • Family-friendly

Carney's is a family-owned, casual burger and hot dog restaurant, housed in an 1920s Amtrak train car. Regulars and tourists alike pile into the diner-inspired interior featuring original signs and vintage photographs and sit down for a satisfying, yet affordable, meal.

The menu includes such items as cheeseburgers, chicken, wraps, sandwiches, salads, chili fries and a few select desserts, such as the chocolate-dipped frozen banana. Hot dogs range from the Carney's Hot Dog (chili, mustard, tomatoes and onion) to the Spicy Polish New Yorker (sauerkraut and mustard). Delivery is available until 4:30pm with an $8 minimum.

Editorial Review for Carney's – by Shelley Stein

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, plus historic photos of the area. Tee-shirted tourists and local die-hards order at the counter and grab napkins from a bathroom towel dispenser at the end of the line. Burgers and hotdogs are served in cardboard boxes, often drenched in chili and accompanied by lemonade in a paper cup.

Cons: none

I went looking for a " real " Chicago Dog and what I found was a standard relish dog called a " Chciagoan ", I also tried the Carneys which is a chili dog. The hot dogs were good as regular hot dogs could be, so my search is still on .
