This is a small burger joint in a strip mall. They have a pretty big menu and they serve a variety of burgers, sandwiches, and some breakfast items. Is it a good burger? It's not a quality burger like The Habit. Is it good pastrami? Not the same as Johnnie Pastrami. The prices are very reasonable. $5.99 for a chili cheese burger combo. If you order a burger combo, be prepared to receive an unholy amount of fries. Seriously it's enough for three people. They do have daily specials. Sundays is the fried chicken combo. Four pieces of chicken and fries and drink for $6.99. The chicken is nice and crispy and again you receive a lot of fries. So come by and eat a burger combo in the dining area watching busy Sepulveda traffic go by and listening to the sounds of the lone arcade machine. One last note, this place is CASH ONLY. read more

Big Tomy's - Fried Chicken Special on Sundays - Burgers Near Me - Culver City, California

See all

Big Tomy's is great. Four words: Double Chili Cheese Burger. That's the short of it, anyway. The long of it is that it can get a bit messy. While the double chili cheese burger is good (all of their burgers are good, really), it has the tendency to fall apart. Definitely be prepared to eat it with a fork and a knife as the chili can be evasive and escape off to the sides amidst slippery vegetables and mustard. Unfortunate burger mishaps aside, they provide large portions at a good price for their fries as well as most of their menu items. The joint has the tendency to get pretty hot inside, so brace yourself! However, without question, if I'm in Culver City and I want a good burger, this is the place I'm going to go just about every single time. Also, everyone that works there is extremely humble, down to earth, and are overall just great people. Grew up talking to them for the majority of my life, from teens to adulthood. Love these guys. read more

My favorite is the chili cheese burger w/ fries combo. Their seasoned fries are so good and they give you a huge pile. I tried the chili cheese fries w/ pastrami a few weeks ago, and I'm still feeling fat. It took me 2 days to finish that giant order but it was worth it. They have great drunk food but too bad they don't open very late. The guys that work there are very friendly and they work fast. read more

Big Tomy's - Chili cheese fries w/ pastrami - Burgers Near Me - Culver City, California

I live close to this place so I checked it out. Best deal in town. I had the Spanish omelette with avocado- 11$. It was very good. They give huge portions. The menu is well priced and the food doesn't taste cheap. They only take cash. read more

It would be tough to beat this old-school chili cheeseburger. I get the single; it's pretty darn close to perfect. Very friendly staff and cook love it if you can speak a little Spanish with them even if you're a gringo. Cash only. read more

This spot is amazing have been going here for 4 almost 5 years now and the food is really good so is there chili cheese fries and prices are low and affordable. Food portion size is really good for what the food cost. read more

Good food Great prices! A ton of fries! If you like Tommy's you don't have to go searching. Also a much bigger menu.

This place never disappoints. If you're a chili lover you'll love their amazing chili cheese fries! So yummy and delicious your mouth will water seeing the melting cheese. This restaurant is the prime example of "hole in the wall", Staff are also very friendly. if you're in Culver City Area I recommend (Be mindful it's cash only) read more

Very friendly staff and reasonable prices. Impressive menu selection that offers a classic dining experience. I highly recommend it!

Pssh the best turkey burger on the westside used to be grilled and served up here. Any idea if Big Tomy's will be opening back up?

Solid hole in the wall burger joint. Locals love this place as it has been around for years. Fries are good, burgers are good. Have been here twice and I remember it being a great value. Will be back read more

Came here today and was so excited for some fresh cooked food. Ordered the 2 hot cake, 3 egg, 2 bacon and 2 sausage meal to go. Ate one of the hot cakes and then opened the other container, dug into my eggs and they were a grey green color. Had to throw the whole thing in the trash I was so disgusted. read more

Big Tomy's - My scrambled eggs were all green just under the surface. Never coming back - Burgers Near Me - Culver City, California

The perfect place if you're unemployed or just plain drunk. Besides the obvious alcoholic hot spots (Pink's, Of The Taco, the local bacon wrapped hot dogs stands), this fast food sit-down serves up a wide variety of grease-gorging treats. Try the classic grilled cheese (my personal fav) for under $2. Or how about "the beast" (that's my secret name for this devilish delight) - fries topped with chili, cheese, sour cream, tomatoes and pastrami. It's not on the menu, so this is going to take a special order. Or try the zucchini fries (a healthier alternative for those on weight watchers.) Whatever you choose, it will hit the drunk spot. Just don't order plain chili - it looks like blown chunks (or maybe you just spewed up your dinner.) read more

Killing Time..*My kid was in the dentist* Starving...*Hadn't eaten all day* In Culver City...Fast food Much??* Didn't want Jack. Didn't want the cheesy 1 dollar Chinese food Ghetto Burger that's what I need, but where in Culver City???? So I am driving down Sepulveda and I see it!! Its near my old Target and next to an old school toy store. Well I walk in and I see the order for this guy come out...OMG it looked delicious. So I order the pastrami burger special... 5 minutes go by... I am in heaven.. Hot fresh and effing tasty. Good portions, lots of fries...nice and crispy. I hate when fries are cooked in oil from 20 years ago...lol I was all about it. Craving satisfied!! read more

Another icon I've past by for years, but have never given a fair shot. Three stars is generous, but this place offers some nice n greasy, over the top bad for you kinda food! Came here on the way to work since CDM was a let down. I ordered another breakfast burrito. Theirs was sausage links, eggs, cheese, and salsa inside(bonus). It was good. Not great. But for four bucks and change, it was nice. I do want to come back n try the pastrami, chili fries, and a chili cheese dog! Well, maybe not all in one seating. Cash only. read more

Big bacon cheeseburger. Huge portion of fries. Cold root beer. Hit the spot. I came here for the first time today. It is located on an interesting portion of Sepulveda, lots of different restaurants and merchants. It is located next to a sword collectibles shop if that gives you any idea. Rudy's Barber Shop is also 30 feet away, and a couple of dive bars. It's a standard greasy spoon burger restaurant. The guy at the counter recommended the burger or the chili cheese fries with pastrami on top. I'll have to return to try that monster. read more

I usually order burgers and fries only and wont comment on other items. The burgers are great, good portions and price. Try it yum!

The good is pretty good but it's way too expensive. Double cheeseburger + fries + small soda = $8.77 What?? This is a standard LA charburger joint. There are hundreds around the city, and pretty much all of them are cheaper. The ones in Torrance that I'm familiar with are definitely a couple bucks less for the same thing. Oh yeah, cash only too. read more

Hole in the wall. But when it's late and I've been partying all night, it's the equivalent to a 5 star restaurant for me. Always get the chili cheese fries with pastrami on top and double chili cheese burger. Their breakfast burrito is decent, but that's about it. Watch out, it's cash only, and it's not rare to see cops eating there late at night. So becareful. read more

This place never does me wrong. Quick and easy. I usually order there bacon cheeseburger with grilled onions and avocado. It is always cooked as requested and when I order fries they are fresh and crunchy and they definitely give alot If you are looking for something late night this is the place to go.Its not a fancy place but the workers are very nice.There is an outside and inside to eat and enjoy your meal read more

This is one of those perfect, greasy-spoon, places that are rare these days. The chili burger and the fried chicken in particular are delicious. The only drawback is that it's cash only. So, when I have cash in hand, I pay them a visit. read more

If this place wasn't so over-rated by the others here, I'd probably give it a two, but never anything higher than that. This is the best source for chili burgers in the area, but that's the best compliment I can give it. Don't get me wrong, I still go here from time to time, but typically at someone else's insistence. The serving sizes can be large. I usually can only eat about half of my fries. The fish is definitely so-so - absolutely not what I'm looking for in fish and chips. read more

Great place for a large greasy all American breakfast burrito ! With sausage or bacon ! This is a no bullshit restaurant just great food for a great inexpensive price. If you want warm smiles and your food to be carried to your table by a cute bubbly waitress then this is not your place. If you have $6 in your pocket and need a fat large breakfast burrito then welcome home ! read more

Big Tomy's - Burgers Near Me - Culver City, California

The Department of Health grade when I went was a B, which wasn't super inspiring. The smell inside, however, was awesome; my mouth was watering non-stop. The food I ordered - double cheeseburger with everything and a large french fry - was so greasy that the bag it was in nearly split apart from absorbing the grease. Then again, there was so much food in the bag (they don't play around with tiny portion sizes at Tomy's) that it couldn't help but be a grease sponge. My meal was decent, especially for the price - less than 8 bucks. I think I'd go there again if 1) I was in the neighborhood and 2) I was inebriated. The massive chili list on the menu seems to imply that chili+something is an establishment specialty. I'd go with that, especially if point #2 is in play. read more

Burgers are good but the fries are amazing!!! The portions are sizable as well. The hours feel a little inconsistent but I usually just call in advance. Love this place. read more

Polish sausage breakfast here is right down tasty. I substitute fries for the home potatoes which they do no problem. The same guys have been here years and years so it's always consistent and tasty. Also their fried chicken here is pretty good, not the best but good. read more

This is the go to place for late night food. Open 24 hours and a convenient location on your way back from the beach areas to West LA/Palms, I love their fried zucchini. It's long strips of zucchini fried in batter served with ranch. Once the club/bar crowd lets out it can get pretty crowded but otherwise it's normal, cheap, greasy American and Mexican food. Parking lot is right behind the restaurant. read more

Big Tomy's may not look like much from the outside but they can make a meeeaaaannn burger! Transport back to the 70's in this old school, simple restaurant and grab yourself an awesome burger for cheap! Let me stress, cheeeaaaap! With burgers under $5 and combo meals under $10, this is the ultimate place to come and stretch your dollar while getting some good grub. Big, juicy meat patties, fresh tomatoes, lettuce and onions, delicious fries that should be covered in chili and cheese if you know what's best for you and all served to you in under 10 minutes, 15 max I'd say. I love Big Tomy's because it's good and cheap but also because whenever I come here starving I know I'm never going to have to wait awhile for my burger to be served after ordering. Even when they have a sizeable line, they still churn out the burgers quickly while maintaining the quality of each and every one. A great spot and my go-to burger joint in Culver City. read more

This place will always have a special place in my heart since this is where I had my first chili cheese fries. Even though I live in DTLA, I still drive here to satisfy my craving. I'm not a fan of anything else on their menu. I think it's very generic, but the chili cheese fries is usually great. I would give this 4 stars for the extremely friendly service read more

Yes, go. Looks like an hourly rate motel, but the burgers are insane, huge, and they do not go light on the side of fries. Best part is you can get the whole meal for less than $10. Last I saw they were "grade A," also. read more

Big Tomy's is one of the best burger joints that i've been too in a couple years. Their burgers are delicious!

Every time I eat here i get diarrhea. every single time. But you always get a lot of frys and the chili is great.

For beign a knock-off of the orginal Tommy burger this place is awesome, I also hit up the barber shop next door so this place is great if your waiting and want to catch a huge breakfast or chiliburger. I kid you not and am not exaggerating when I say their chili is as good if not better than the Original Tommys chili. read more

The chili burgers are delicious,the chili is thick Not watered down. Only problem is it lacks deserts that most burger spots carry such as a shake. read more

I love this place !!! I've been going since I was little. They do cash only but they give you so much food .. I am always satisfied !

Yes, it's greasy and unhealthy, but it's relatively inexpensive and I'm hooked on their pastrami chili cheese fries. If you want a total cheat meal, this would be it. read more

Place is great food, I eat lunch here I'd say weekly on my day off, and whatever you get is always stellar. Juan does amazing work and is friendly as can be. Lately there has been a newer Asian worker who is nothing but problems... Orders not right, I swear I ALWAYS pay more with him vs others because he has no clue how to use the register and today when calling in an order got told it would take 30 minutes (in his shrewd I don't give a damn tone and attitude) I CAN GET SERVED AND PAY AT A RESTAURANT IN THAT KIND IF TIME. If you business has been suffering this guy is why. I plan to only eat at your establishment when The normal cook is there from now on this guy is so bad. 4 stars for the food, 5 if this guy was gone. read more

I have a little obsession with the chili cheese fries. There is just something about chili and yellow peppers that is just perfect. Even their plain grilled cheese tastes amazing. It is suppeeerrrr greasy but I don't care I love them. Also they are cash only read more

Basic cheap, cookie cut patties thrown on a grill. Nothing worth going out of your way for. The bun is basic. This reminds me of crappy beach-hut style food, but in a greasy strip mall. I wish In and Out would move in across the street. Should be a buck or two cheaper due to crappy quality. You can get a MUCH better burger for the same price elsewhere. read more

Okay, seriously... I love Big Tomy's. I'll get the bacon cheeseburger with orange bang, please!! Their cheeseburger is grease roll down your fingers DELICIOUS. They're generous with the bacon, not like some other crappy places. Nice and crispy, too!! I try to convince my co workers to come here more often. Oh! Beware, cash only!! read more
