    It had been awhile since one of our So Cal visits included a Tommy's stop. Never disappoints and is always consistent. This time I had the chili tamale , it includes pickles, diced onions, and sliced tomatoes. Also added chili cheese fries. The rest of the fam ordered chili cheeseburgers which come with mustard, pickles, tomato slices, and diced onions. We ordered it to go but they have a few outdoor tables available to eat there. Just love it, even ordered a bucket of chili to bring home!! Yum yum yum

    Perfect for a rainy day. No drive thru, outside seating but window service is fast and friendly. Wow they switched up the menu for a limited time you can get pepper jack cheese on any menu item taste amazing. They should keep this on the menu

    Growing up in So CA, Tommy's has been an all time favorite. Now that we live in Northern NV, my first stop on visits to So CA is usually to get my fix! I went to the Burbank location yesterday while on a day work trip to So CA before I had to hop on my flight home. As it's been awhile since I've visited, I decided to go for a second burger! It might have been too much but it was so good! Follow their Facebook page for weekly savings and offers at all their locations. The Burbank location only offers walk up window ordering. There is ample parking on San Fernando Blvd and behind the shack. Ownership, if you are reading this, I'm the one who emails, calls or FB messages pleading to open a location in Northern NV. If you pay well, I will even manage it for you! :) Many So CA people have moved to this area and know your brand. We would love for you to expand your So NV locations in the Sparks/Reno area. Pretty please, with lots of chili on top!

    Haven't been to Tommy's since I was basically a teen but decided to have lunch here the other day since my bf and I were in the area and he also hasn't had it before! Parking lot is SUPER tiny but we managed to get a spot before it got really busy. They have outdoor seating only, thankful there's shade, but it's almost like on a driveway so the tables and seating are all slanted. Since it's outdoors, it was also a bit dirty. We ordered our food and I grabbed a slanted table to sit on while my bf waited for our food. Scary to think about sitting on these and having your food slide right off if you sit on the wrong side.. The man who ordered in front of us seemed to be a frequent customer and very angry. He had to make sure the worker knew to add the chili on top rather than the bottom, like the photo suggests. It seemed like an ongoing problem or maybe someone keeps messing up his order somehow. As I was sitting, which is on the side of the building but also by their back door which they keep open.. I heard the workers laughing and talking about that customer and his order. It almost seemed like they were purposely messing up his burger.. not very nice but also do they not realize that the door is open and everyone can hear them? Quite rude and what if the customer was still around? Seems like a bad and messy situation overall. We were here around noon on Sunday 3/23/25. Food was great and came out quick. Didn't like the tomato or pickles on my chili cheese dog, seemed a bit weird and unnecessary? The chili cheese dog was also loaded with chili so it felt like a lot, almost too much to be honest. I should've just went for the chili cheese fries since I wasn't very hungry to begin with but also didn't think it would be massive. The double chili cheese burger was also very messy but I guess that comes with the territory, at least my bf enjoyed it overall. Good food but a lot. Prices were right and good for the amount you get. Very filling! IG: @ammysalamii

    Chili cheese dog with grilled onions.

    Here is the Chili Dog with grilled onions topped with all the garnishments. Absolutely delicious? Add the Yellow peppers and WOW, what a combination. Tommy's has been a staple in Los Angles for as long as I can remember. If you wish to experiment: Get the Chili cheese fries with grilled onions and all the toppings.

    Great customer service. The man behind the counter taking my order was super friendly and likable. 27th of July before 5pm. The man who offered me my food too was very polite. The tables were clean and no trash anywhere. The amount of shade was great and the parking lot had a good amount of spots. Without asking for a fork the man offered it. My food didn't satisfy me and I'm not a fan but I'll keep it a solid 3/5 Favorite spot for chili cheese fries is The Hat in Simi Valley or Pasadena.

    The place to go when craving chili! If you are only going to pick one item off this menu, make it an order of chili cheese fries! So good.

    Got the Breakfast Sandwich with some Crispy Fries, a side of Chili's and an Arnold Palmer. It was good, convenient, searea. quick and it was just across the street for where I was. I love the old school A-Frame building. Can't complain!!! I would return if I was in the area. Enjoy!!!

    Original Tommy's is absolutely a must-visit to experience the LA late-nite food scene. It is unique to say the least. The original in Hollywood at Beverly and Rampart is the mecca, but this location rocks the calssic menu when you are in Glendale/Burbank and need a fix. For any true food lover, this will be a category by itself. ! They feature a limited, but creative menu that they will do their best to make your burger 'your way. the fries are to die for as well. No alcohol, there is a dive bar accross the street for that though. The eclectic atmosphere in line will be a story to tell as well. a true LA original.

    On today's work trip I stopped by Sharky's Mexican, and right off the bat, I was impressed. The…read morerestaurant was spotless, the service was fantastic, and then I spotted the Wagyu Philly Burrito on the menu. Wagyu beef, sharp white cheese, poblano peppers, caramelized onions, crispy potatoes, au jus, hot sauce... and sesame seeds on the outside of the tortilla? I was all in. On paper, this thing sounded like it couldn't miss. Unfortunately, it just didn't deliver for me. I was expecting the Wagyu to have more of a ground beef crumble--something with a little texture and bite. Instead, the meat was so finely blended that it almost had a mushy consistency, and that threw the whole burrito off for me. The flavors were there, but they never really came together into anything memorable. Also the potatoes had no crunch to them so I think my mouth just wanted texture where as the burrito texture was just mush...It wasn't bad... it just wasn't something I'd find myself craving again. The silver lining? I didn't finish it, so I accidentally saved myself a bunch of calories. Now, the chips and salsa? Absolute fire. And one thing Sharky's definitely doesn't skimp on is portion size--you'll get your money's worth. Overall, I'd absolutely go back because the service and atmosphere were great, but next time I'm ordering something different.

    Not bad actually. Good food and service. Only negative is that it's pricey. So expect $4+ tacos,…read more Worth going to, but just set expectations for paying a bit more than you want to.

The way you felt in my hands the way you looked at me before I devoured you. Those small drips of burger fluid mixed in with sauce that splattered on the table and occasionally seeped into my clothing. The smiles and the people who are dealing deliciousness behind the counter. The way that I could sniff you out with a three block radius. The long lines at the drive-through where Word salad order combinations sound incredibly hard to comprehend anywhere else, but make all the sense when you're ordering. The way your fry cook slams the fry slicer above the deep fryer. Your delicious pink lemonade. How I would take an order food to go and sneak it in my hoodie into the nearby Burbank theater. The elation of having your number read out on loudspeaker and the anticipation of walking up to the counter to retrieve your delicious meal served on a red tray. I miss you with all my heart. I love you.

We ordered the bacon and carne asada with avocado, expecting a good breakfast burrito. What arrived looked like it had been lifting weights. It's short, stout, and surprisingly hefty. What really stood out was the filling-to-tortilla ratio. Instead of being packed with potatoes, this thing is loaded with bacon, carne asada, eggs, avocado, and cheese. I'd guess well over three-quarters of every bite was protein. The creamy green sauce brought just the right amount of heat without overpowering everything else. Our only mistake was ordering two. One would have been plenty to share for our family of four while trying a couple of other items. This burrito is far more filling than it looks. Now I have an excuse to come back. The basturma (Armenian beef) burrito and the sautéed tomato version are already on my list. Some breakfast burritos rely on size. This one wins because it actually fills that size with the good stuff.
