    Large Chili Cheese Fries
    Brenda P.

    Chili cheese fries were good just a small amount of fries, smaller portion than other burger spots. The restaurant was very clean inside and good customer service.

    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

    Famous is solid. Food service prices all good. The Carson locals spot for sure. Burgers Tacos Fries etc I've prolly eaten here over a hundred times tried numerous items and it's always good. Especially love the onion rings and fried zucchini. If you're in the neighborhood stop by and you won't be disappointed.

    BLT Sandwich with French Fries
    Chloe T.

    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.

    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!

    This place should be called "Famously Thin Burgers". The meat patties here are as thin as ham.

    Don't you ever order a breakfast burrito from here. By far the worst I've ever had. If you can take more than 3 bites you deserve a medal.

You can tell she genuinely cares about the people who walk through the door, and it makes such a difference. I also love their daily specials -- there's always something fun to look forward to, and it keeps things fresh. The camaraderie here is unmatched. It's the kind of place where you can relax, have a good time, and feel like part of a community. Highly recommend if you're looking for a laid-back spot with great energy and even better people.
