    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.

    Mother's Day Dining Experience ​To the Management Team,…read more​I am writing to share my recent experience at your establishment this past Mother's Day. As a long-time fan of your restaurant, this was one of my favorite places to dine; however, my experience during this visit was deeply disappointing due to a lack of communication and poor service standards. ​My primary concerns are as follows: ​Limited Menu Communication: Upon arriving, I was disappointed to find a restricted holiday menu that did not include the dishes I had specifically come for. While I understand the need for a limited menu on busy holidays, this should have been communicated to guests waiting outside. Waiting an hour to be seated only to realize the items I craved were unavailable was a significant letdown. ​Inattentive Service: Despite the restaurant not appearing to be at full capacity, the service was lacking. My father's meal arrived significantly later than the rest of the table's, and basic needs--such as coffee refills for my mother and water for the table--were never addressed. No one checked in to see if we were satisfied with our meal at any point. ​Gratuity Policy: Regarding the 18% gratuity for parties of six or more, I completely respect the policy in principle. However, when the service does not meet basic expectations, being told I must pay a specific dollar amount--in this case, $40--feels intrusive. I am someone who genuinely enjoys leaving generous tips in cash to reward good service; being forced to pay a set amount for a subpar experience felt less like a gratuity and more like an unjustified surcharge. ​I believe your establishment is capable of much better. I hope you take this feedback into account to ensure future holiday guests receive the transparency and quality of service that originally made me a loyal customer.

    Such a cute spot! Met up with a friend here to catch up for breakfast. We grabbed a table outside…read moreand servers took order and brought out food quickly. We were sad to not see any cocktails yet, hopefully mimosas coming soon. I tried the horchata and the signature chilaquiles. Everything was great, fresh ingredients. Good food and good company!

    I've never had mac nut pancakes before and was dreaming for months about trying them. When I had my…read morefirst bite, that exceeded all my expectations!! Already planning my next visit :) Clean interior, quick service, order and pay up front and choose your own seats! TIP: ADD $4 FOR A SIDE OF BANANA MAC NUT PANCAKES TO YOUR CHIMICHURRI STEAK Chimichurri steak with 2 fried eggs and 2 banana macadamia nut pancakes: 5/5. I'm always conflicted between sweet or savory for breakfast, but this solves all my problems. The banana mac nut pancakes were perfect - so fluffy, not too sweet, so many bits of macadamia. Chimichurri steak was yummy, but I'll try ordering it medium rare next time if they allow me to. All this for $24 is such a steal. Chicken katsu with rice and mac salad: 5/5. Bouncy, snappy pieces of chicken that are not dry at all. Seasoned so well!

Luckily, we were able to find…read moreparking easily, though I wouldn't say the same on a busy day. 7/10 First Impression - The restaurant looked clean, but there were no booths available. 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...
