Famous Cafe

Been coming to Famous Cafe for over 20 years and they still have my absolute favorite chili cheese fries. This casual diner is a local staple. Service is quick and easy, and it's also super convenient that I can call in my order for takeout when I leave the office and pick it up on the way home. The chili cheese fries are packed with hot, crispy french fries, covered with delicious chili, and oozing with melted cheese. The only downside is the price going up compared to 10 or 20 years ago, but that's just the norm with inflation. Whenever I'm breaking my diet, I'll come back to Famous Cafe for my #1 guilty pleasure.

Had to come back again I had to babysit my nephews kids and they wanted burgers and it's 50 leven degrees outside so I decided to go to famous Cafe they have 1.99 hamburger specials and the customer service is awesome and the kids loved the burgers will come back anytime it's to hot to cook and on a budget

Came here for a quick lunch & was very much satisfied! There were so many choices to choose from!! I got the BLT and it was great. I really liked how they seasoned their fries. The service was very nice and patient when I was choosing from their menu. Grabbed a nice spot in their outdoor area to enjoy this meal.

Food is good, staff is amazing and I realized I'm blessed to have a restaurant like this down the street from my house. I come here at least once a month and they never disappoint

Big breakfast burritos. Very good! Great service everyone was nice and helpful! Clean and nice inside.

Just moved into the area and have been here quite a few times and I have to say I've never had a bad experience with the staff. Yes, the food is someone greasy when you order fried food but isn't that why it's called fried food? If you want something fancy go to a fancy restaurant not a local diner, you get local diner food and local people instead of fancy, expensive, small portions . 2 personal favorites are the Fried Zucchini and the onion rings with orange bang.

I'be beeb coming here several times a month for ~4 years. The steak is never cooked wrong. When I order my bacon crispy, it's always perfect. The soda fountain always has enough syrup. The fries are always crisp and delicious. No other diner in the area is this consistent.

Terrible, terrible, bad, awful service. The cashier woman with a nasty short Karen hair style has a matching nasty attitude. I just got back from there and I had to share it with you guys. I got bad vibes from her as soon as I walked in. I can tell she was flustered. I don't see why, as there was just 1 person in front of me and none behind me. My son wanted a burger with fries and a drink. I said no drink because of the sugar you know. Plus it's usually another dollar or so. If she had told me the differnce would be 16 cents, I may have changed my mind. So I asked her why she hadn't informed me. She said she can't "keep telling people" pointing aoround the place. I told her, "It would be good customer service if you did." I guess she would rather give crap service. I feel sorry for the other workers here. She seemed frustrated and I heard her yelling at them too. I wanted to try something different from Monks on Vermont. Famous Cafe definately don't not deliver. I was having a great day and this person tested me.

Since I'm a time traveler and all; I've been coming here since the 80's when it was called "Fantastic Burgers". Despite all the super-biased hate by many people with less than 20 "reviews" on their "profile"..... ; Famous Cafe has to honestly be one of the best damn locally owned restaurants ever! I remember going here as a kid with my father eating breakfast every weekend while watching their TV at the back. It can get so packed during the morning because their breakfast deals are so random and affordable. Famous has been uniting Greek and Mexican workers for decades while doing such a fantastic job treating their multi-cultural fan base for so many years. They used to have a bunch of old Carson-related black and white pictures hanging around this place. I sort of wish they still did too because it made things more homely. CORONAVIRUS ERA - With this "new normal" ...Famous has been top notch when it comes to quality, speed and service! I mean damn... one of their cooks has been there for a long time, but he gets my food done super fast! They even keep things extremely clean and sanitized with Purell-like containers around out of safety/courtesy. If you look at all the pictures I posted, you can see some of my favorite meals. My go-to as a kid, was a nice bacon cheeseburger with their tasty zucchini fries with their homemade ranch. The new, beautiful young, strong female cashiers (along with the older ones) do a kick ass job as well because they know how to balance great customer service with getting sh*t done. Parking is never a hassle unless it's a busy weekend and the strip mall is packed...; which is normal. Always look at their windows and signs for random specials!!!! Famous Burgers to me was and IS a huge piece of Carson's heart and soul! Keep up the great work!

received superfluous service. will come again. Make the chicken more tender and go easy on the fire.
