    Drive thru
    Kiki T.

    Today is their 80th anniversary!! They selling their World-Famous Chili Cheeseburgers for 80 cents today from 12p to 8p...the standing line was decent and went smoothly. We only stood in line for 1.5 hours. Drive thru on the other hand was horrifying, because there was a line formed from Topanga Canyon Blvd and another lined formed at the alley way. Here is the kicker, cars coming from the opposite side of Topanga Canyon Blvd was cutting into the line. Such rude people. Inside is casual.

    Today is the 80 anniversary of the opening of the first Tommy's . Great chili burgers . Fast service and old time ambiance .

    I don't know if the guy is on drugs or what I told 20 times regular cheese burger he kept reply yea yea ok chili cheese, finally he say oh regular cheese burger and I still got a damm chili cheese. When I was at the widow he had the worst attitude and looked half in the moon, I don't know what type of people they are hiring.

    Original Tommy's has been a lifelong favorite of mine while growing up in The Valley. This location has a drive-thru and also a handful of booths inside. Tommy's has a small, straightforward menu with a few hamburger, hot dog, and fry options where you can add chili, cheese, and/or bacon. They also have chili a la carte, shakes, soft serve, and a small breakfast menu served all day that includes a sandwich, burrito, and hash browns. Most recently I ordered my usual: double cheeseburger with chili cheese fries. The burgers are grilled to order and the patties are flavorful. Their fries are a must order: crispy, hot, and perfectly salted, with chili and cheese. These days I can't do chili on both the burger and the fries, but I do recommend trying the chili cheese burger! It's classic, a bit messy, and totally worth it. Tommy's is definitely more of a hole in the wall, but this location is clean, employees are friendly, and the food is delicious while being slightly greasy. I wouldn't have it any other way!

Very thorough to make sure our order was correct. And respectful at the window!! Ambiance- I went drive thru at night so I didn't get a chance to go inside.

    The older guy taking the orders by drive thru was funny and quick. He had a positive and attentive attitude, which is greatly appreciated. I went today because it's a good deal: regular double chili cheese burger combo for $8 bucks. Large parking lot and outside was clean.

    Hard to pass up on their social media specials. I couldn't decide on which one to get, so I got both!

    If you're following the this deal is for you until 8/13/2023!! Don't forget.. Last day is Sunday!

    Okay, I am biased but I really like the burgers! Not really a 5-star restaurant but I give 5-stars to the dedication and the legacy! I just tried the California Classic for the first time and it was very good. If you like In-n-Out then this is similar but it's a double beef patty and for a limited time it is only $2.99 for one with cheese. This burger is mouthwatering and meaty. I don't eat meat that often but this is definitely splurging. The lettuce and tomato were fresh and juicy. Then with the slather of spread and a pickle it had that tangy sweet flavor to meld with the soft bread. I put my cheese on the side because I like to eat my burgers without melted cheese (most of the time). The drive thru is pretty fast and the people are nice enough. They also have a root beer float for $2.99 (regular price). My husband got the double chili cheese and sopped up the chili paper (yes, that is a thing).

    Been talking about grabbing some Tommy's again since it's been years but never made the trip out since we were always busy and craving other things. Finally my coworker wanted to get some, crazy coincidence, so we had him pick some up for the entire office. It was a bit early and I wasn't starving so I only got an order of chili cheese fries but man did I forget how good it was. I ate it as soon as they brought it back even if I wasn't exactly hungry yet but I managed to finish the whole thing. It was very heavy but super delicious. I wish the fries were a bit crispier but I guess it's not meant for this type of thing. The chili and cheese were amazing and packed so much flavor. The only problem was that it was so heavy, I was tired at work the rest of the day and then had an awful stomach ache later that evening. Might've just been too early to eat for my tummy to handle and it's never done that before. Definitely want to get their burgers and maybe even the chili cheese dog some time soon! IG: @ammysalamii

    Where's the chili?

    Normally tommys is good but today what happened ? We ordered "chili on everything" including fries, he, Mario, even asked us if we wanted chili on our fries and we said yes. We opened up the food on our way home and no chili cheese fries. Chili on the burger? Barely! No chili to scoop up with the fries. Stingy af. What was that?? 6:43pm on 4th of July. Cleanest tommy's experience ever. What are napkins for?

    I've been coming here consistently for about a week now, and after trying multiple items, I feel…read moreconfident saying this place does high-quality burgers the right way. So far I've had the patty melt, the avocado cheeseburger, and the double bacon cheeseburger, and every single one has hit. First off, the bacon deserves its own mention. Whatever bacon they're using is clearly top-tier quality. Thick, flavorful, cooked right, and definitely not an afterthought. No flimsy strips or skimping here. The burgers are big. Like, legitimately big. These aren't sad, flattened patties. They're hearty, filling, and actually justify the price. They also don't hold back on the cheese, which I appreciate. Everything tastes fresh, well-balanced, and made with care. What really surprised me, especially with inflation being what it is right now, is the value. Their combos are around $16-$17, and for that you get a large burger, a solid portion of fries, and a drink. And it's a fountain drink, not a can, which matters. You're not leaving hungry, and you don't feel like you overpaid. The fries are good, the specials are very reasonable for the quality, and they also have other drink options if you're not in the mood for soda. The vibe is another big plus. You can sit inside or outside, the atmosphere is relaxed, and the people working there are genuinely nice. It really feels like a family-owned spot where customer service still matters. You're treated like a person, not just an order number. For anyone in the neighborhood looking for a good burger, good people, and a comfortable place to sit down and eat, this place is absolutely worth checking out. Oh, and yes, they do have restrooms, which always matters more than people admit. Overall, this is one of those places that gets the fundamentals right: quality food, fair pricing, and good service. I'll definitely keep coming back.

    Walked in with one rule. No fillers. Just hitters…read more The pastrami burger is the headline. Thick beef patty. Griddled hard. Real crust. Juices locked in. Pastrami piled reckless but purposeful. Salty. Smoky. Slight chew. Melted cheese sinks into the meat like it belongs there. Bun barely survives and that's the point. Grease soaks through. Flavor stacks high. This is old-school LA energy. No edits. No apology. The patty melt understands the assignment. Toasted rye with actual crunch. Buttered deep. Beef smashed thin and wide. Onion cooked down until sweet and jammy. Cheese fully surrendered. Nothing sliding. Nothing dry. Every bite hits the same as the last. Comfort food with discipline. Diner logic executed clean. The western bacon burger goes loud and earns it. Bacon crisp. Not floppy. Sauce sweet but controlled. Beef still leads. Lettuce and tomato barely make an appearance and that's fine. This is about salt and fat and nostalgia. Feels like eating something you were never supposed to give up. Fries are the right kind of boring. Golden. Hot. Plenty of salt. Built to scoop. Built to rest between bites. They know their role and stay in their lane. Service is straight to the point. Orders taken fast. Food lands heavy and hot. No hovering. No theater. Just efficiency and muscle memory. The room feels frozen in time. Bright lights. Laminated tables. People eating with purpose. No one here for vibes. Everyone here for food. It's giving... old Twitter when food discourse was undefeated.

Let's start with the double Kburger look 5/5, cooked 5/5 texture 5/5 taste -1/5 for real over salty can't taste the Korean sauce flavor they talking about had to google it up and it said sweet and savory ain't nothing sweet about it just very salt I ask for extra sauce try it! Very salty and oily like just soy mix with mayonnaise very little flavor of the Korean fermented chili. I'm just like wtf is this shit, like McDonald's could have pull off a better one with off the shelves leftovers from last event promotion. Even the drink was okay. My best experience here was the fries it reminded me of high school fires we get for lunch and that's not saying much. Even the staff was kinda off when you bring up an issue about your burger not tasting anything Korean you don't tell them that the Korean burger. Fix the issue at hand ask the Question like what's it take like! Like it's my first time having it and all I could say is it's nothing like what google said. Flavor matters when it taste like a salty burger it's a salty review Had to add this, should have check the reviews first everyone is saying this place is just too salty like I'm not the only one

American cheese melts straight into the meat like muscle memory. ShackSauce hits sweet and tangy without stealing the show. Bun is soft. Slightly shiny. Built to hug everything together.

Rich without tipping into too much. This is the closer. This is the reason you forgive everything else. The staff is what seals it. Management leads with warmth and it carries. Smiles feel real. Hellos land. Eye contact matters here. The line moves but never feels tense. Questions answered clean. Mistakes handled without drama. No attitude. Just fixes. You can tell the team actually works together. Orders called clearly. Help offered without asking. No panic energy even when it's busy. That calm sets the tone. You feel taken care of. That counts. The room stays bright and orderly. Busy but controlled. Families. Couples. Solo diners. Everyone moving in rhythm. No chaos. No lingering stress.
