    Right off the bat, the place is like if In-and-Out and Wienerschnitzel had a baby. Tommy's started two years earlier in LA than In-and-Out so it's actually the older of the two. Though compared to the OG location, this place feels much corporate but there's indoor dining. Though, a bonus tip is to check their socials for any promos prior. The interior and color palatte of the place are very similar. The main difference is that Tommy's has more menu items and all of them center around chilli. Which is why Tommy's is slighty more expensive due to the added chili that's typically the default. It's a good opinion for late night if you think In-and-Out is too crowded. The chili is decent. Compared to other places, the burger and chilis are greasier (which is how I like it) but it does seem certain facilities are dated. Not as good as the one in Rampart but it scratches an itch.

    05/28/2025 Came in and ask if Maribel was working today? Maribel is the Manager and always makes me my order. She knows how to please. When I asked for extra chili my order gets overlooked and I'm often disappointed. I showed Eric a picture of how Maribel made my order. Huge Props to Eric for making my order the way I liked it.

    when did Tommy's get so expensive?! dammmm!

    I haven't had Thomas in such a long time and I was craving it. There's one right around the corner from my job. I was really amazed on how high those prices are Now!! I ordered the cheeseburger special with added chili cheese it was close to $20.. The hamburger bun was super hard. I only ate the hamburger patty and even that was OK chili cheese fries are always good. Hit the spot fresh.... I'm not saying all locations but definitely this location. I will not be coming to. I do have to say they do have the freshest unsweetened iced tea and it's freshly brewed... This establishment is pretty clean. If I was to come back, it would just be for the chili fries and iced tea..

    The empty drive thru ! No one gets up early in this city !

    Clean calm and quiet! Not sure any one knows but you can get xtra chili on everything here for no extra charge and they have a hearty breakfast the young men and their metabolism can handle it ! Service is polite and friendly helpful and kind and for the most part quick if you order slightly ahead of time.

    Basic chili, basic burger, basic fries, and coke. Will come up $14 for #1 combo. Inflation or highway robbery? I really wished i had gone across the street at Burger Joint that advertised $1.99 hamburger. I feel bad that i got stuck with basic corporate garbage. Service was fast and efficient, however. I just wished the price matched the product... which, unfortunately, did not. I recommend any other burger because at $14 a pop for a combo, I'd rather cook up a frozen burger patty. Just my opinion. Lower the prices, or people will stop coming.

    Dirty counter I notified the staff but was never cleaned.

    Food quality here has gone down. Been coming here for 20+ years and it has been always good. The past two visits have been very disappointing. Old bread, cold burgers, even the chili was cold and I dined in. Will have to make a trip to the Whittier location from now on. Plus the soda counter was dirty and it wasn't busy in the restaurant.

    Flat on one side. Should not leave kitchen looking like this.

The WORSE thing about this is that the worker at the bar area told him if he was looking for someone & he said he was waiting for an interview & the man said WHAT NO & laughed about it, instantly the man waiting for an interview looked discouraged especially since he said it where customers can hear , that to me was a bully comment. Some older lady came and said the manager was in a meeting & to come back later, but he wanted to wait so she offered him coffee or water. Caramelo is way too good & customer service is great to have bullies as an employee. Obviously if the gentleman is waiting for an interview Is because there's space for more employees to work.

    Before I go into the bad, of which there is plenty, let me preface this by saying that despite a…read morewave of 1 star reviews the place was packed on a Tuesday at 10 am. So do with that as you will. Locals must think this is good food. Located in a tiny corner strip mall on a desolate street is this little breakfast/brunch place. I wish I had listened to the 1 star reviews and not gone in. I especially wish I had seen that Yelp had their health listing rated at C before I ordered. Isn't it the law that a restaurant must display their health rating in the window, cause it wasn't displayed anywhere to be seen. So first they brought out a large jug of water with some fruit slices and mint in it. Would've been nice if the water wasn't room temperature. Is the ice machine not working? Then came the best part of the entire meal - my hazelnut latte. The coffee was good and the cup is gigantic. My teen had the french toast, eggs (scrambled), and bacon plate. The one slice of french toast was okay but nothing special. The eggs were bland and lacking any seasoning including salt and pepper. The bacon, of which I got a side for myself, too, was absolutely disgusting. At first I thought the bacon had been cooked possibly on a dirty grill in old grease or right after something else had been cooked, as it had a horrendous aftertaste like rotten meat and sweaty gym socks. They made a new plate but this one was raw, despite being ordered well done and crispy. Raw. And it absolutely stunk. That was when I came to think it might be uncured pork belly like you get a Korean KBBQ and not bacon at all. Luckily they cancelled the order. I also got a side of the breakfast (rosemary) potatoes, which I also ordered crispy and well done but arrived as a scoop of mush. They tasted okay but I saw crispy potatoes at numerous other tables. Don't know why they couldn't cook as ordered. I also had the dutch baby. I'm sorry but this is a dessert bread pudding and not a real dutch baby pancake. The inside should be airy and fluffy, not sopping wet. I'm not sure if the inside was undercooked and possibly raw dough or if they make it with some sweetened cream inside. It was not good, and it was way too sweet. Instant diabetes sweet. I will never go back. I strongly recommend that all people stay as far away as possible. The service was good - friendly and attentive, but what good is that when the food is so awful? I also had severe stabbing pains in my stomach for a couple hours after getting home. Avoid at all costs!

The cashier at the front was friendly, welcoming, and patient while we looked over the menu. Now let's get down to business... the food! 8/10 Banana OREO Pancakes Great pancakes ! You'd think it would be overwhelmingly sweet, but it wasn't at all. The pancake batter itself was fluffy, moist, buttery... just perfect. 5/10 Crab Omelette lt wasn't dry and had a buttery flavor, but something about the crab tasted fishy.The spinach and mushrooms are great.Just not my cup of tea. 4/10 PotatoesThe potatoes on the side were cooked perfectly and cut into large pieces, which I liked. However, I felt they lacked seasoning. After a few bites, you kind of get over it. 6/10 Mexican Iced Chocolate Pretty straight forward tasted like a light chocolate.More like milk with a whisper of Mexican chocolate. 6/10 Pineapple Juice Refreshing and tasted freshly made. You could tell because of the pulp. Only Complaint:They forgot our pineapple juice, and when the server was about to bring it over, the cashier stopped them and said, "Wait, come over here! Let me see!" Then once he saw us, he said, "Okay..."We had gotten our food to go received the food no pineapple juice. A few min before we got the Whisper... chocolate. On a hot day, waiting for drinks? Not cool. Total: Over $50 for 2 people.The portions are large, but for the quality and presentation, I'd say it's a bit overpriced. Would I recommend it? Yes...
