Original Tommy's - My receipt - Burgers Near Me - El Monte, California

I ordered a basic cheeseburger, and the workers still managed to give me the wrong order :(

Best food and service, Maribel has great customer service as she was very helpful and quick!!

until i find a better place for chili, Tommy's my #1 go to place as of right now. I normally get a chili cheese burger (or the chili cheese hot dog) and chili cheese fries...mmmmm...even though it's a heart attack waiting to happen but it is just soooo gooood. I dont even know how to describe how good it is. Yes, it's a bit (okay, fine..it's not "a bit") oily, but the taste is just filled w/ goodness. It's got the perfect consistency of chili..it's not beany nor is it dry (there are chili out there that are just dry..like filled w/ a whole bunch of stuff, which i personally not a fan of) their burger & hot dog are pretty big. And it does get messy when you either one. I personally like their chili dog more than Pink's chili dog.. u can actually hear the "crunch" sound at Tommy's. it's a good size of hot dog for their price and it's not far .. and u wont have to wait in long lines like at Pink's. people say The Hat has "the best" chili cheese fries, i disagree. Yes, The Hat gives a bigger portion, but the taste is just okay. Jim's burger...oh please step aside. cannot compare. don't even bother. mmm..just typing up this review makes me want to go to Tommy's right now; good thing they are open 24hrs. read more

Pretty pleasantly surprised about this place! It was my first time having Tommy's despite always seeing them all over (I know, how un-American of me right? Lol). Finally stopped by for lunch because a classmate suggested I try their chili. And holy moly so glad I did! I'm sucker for chili cheese fries, but decided to get the chili burger combo instead (not a fan of chili burgers because of how messy it gets). I asked them to cut the burger in half just so it's easier for me to eat. Their chili burger is really good! Loved how their chili tasted! Definitely not your regular chili. You can tell it's their actual recipe not just from a chili can. Didn't know what I was doing not giving this place a try before. The place is pretty clean and they have a pretty big eating area. Parking is also available so you don't have to park on the street. Going back and trying their chili cheese fries! Already know I'm going to love it lol read more

Tasty but greasy. This place is like In-n-Out with a bunch of greasy chili dumped on it... They serve the food on those wax coated cardboard trays with a sheet of wax paper on it. I was disgusted by the fact that half way through the meal, the oil had leaked through to the TABLE. When we ate here, we could tell who the regulars were because they tended to be the ones that looked like a pimply comic-book-guy from the simpsons. Chili... tasty but shouldn't be this greasy. read more

Amazing chili cheese fries! I knew my hubby for nine years and he live so close to this place but I never thought of going to try it out. I never thought I would like it so much. I'm a huge fan of fries and especially with cheese and some good old chili on it. Their chili is pretty good. I never had it with their burgers or anything else. Just the fries. Whenever, I'm eating at the in law, I just want to stop by here afterward and get be some of the yummy goodness. OOOooo so bad but yet soo good. read more

I love Tommy's... but this location is Not it. Robert in the drive thru has the worst customer service skills I have ever experienced. Robert does not know How to treat people or take orders, he also rushes you and gives you attitude. The food was also cold and not up to standard. If you Love Tommy's please visit another location. This Tommy's in El Monte is not it. read more

Walked in and was greater by a gentleman who said he couldn't take my order because he was not on the clock. Which was fine. I was willing to wait. I waited 10mins in the lobby without a soul to take my order. Both Drive through and lobby was empty and the back of kitchen was filled with voices. I understand that he was off the clock but why not call another employee to assist.?? Very disappointed. read more

The best service !!! The staff is amazing . I am one picky customer and they are always accommodating to my requests . Thank you !!! read more

Classic stop for the late-night munchies!!! Chili is out of this world good; chili could be used on a topping for just about anything, including but not limited to: burgers, fries, etc. Not much else to mention about Tommy's since they are "World Famous"... lol As of this writing, portions for their fries seem to have shrunk down a bit :( read more

Cashier at the drive thru had problems using the gift card we had so we had to pay with my card. He said it wasn't working. We checked online and there was money on it. When we went to use it at another one they said they could've typed it. That's what they did. So he was more concerned with speed then customer service. Another time we came here the cashier got smart when we were asking about a deal they had. She said what deal? We told her and she said we call it special not deal. It's the same thing. Sometimes its hard to get in and out because it's on a busy street read more

The young Drive thru girl has a stank attitude. The other older ladies we usually see are nicer. Foods great though. Just work on your customer service. read more

Really good hamburger, nothing fancy, but if you find yourself hungry at 11 pm in El Monte, that's the place to go. I had the one with chili sauce, pretty unique and memorable. read more

The best chili ever! This place isn't for someone who's trying to watch their calories! If you're gonna come here you gotta try the cheeseburger + the chili cheese fries! The chili dog was just okay. Oh btw, please Tommy's get your roof fixed! read more

I'll give the restaurant a 2 because I came in yesterday night, had me waiting for 5 minutes till the crew leader came and it just looked like she was in a hurry, and when I got my order I told the lady it was to go and she just gave me a ugly stare and I felt uncomfortable when she gave me that stare, I asked for some extra yellow peppers and I only got three that's all didn't like her service, change or fire that lady Lupe. read more

Paid $7 for chili cheese fries. Received a sad soggy plain order of fries. No chili. No cheese. Thanks For ruining my lunch hour.

They never Get My Order Right. Food always cold. They overcharged me twice all ready. An for Delivery just TERRIBLE

It's not the original location. But the same burgers, not the same experience. But, fits the bill! Come here when I am driving home from the Club and get the urge for a Tommy Burger, but unwilling to drive to the Original location.. read more

If a boy can't go inside to order when your drive thru is still open then fuck y'all. Chile on it bish

So AMAZING!! Never had a burger from here, saw the cute sign, and I adore the name (it's my dad's and brother's) and my husband and me follow in the que. And oh my goodness, burger was amazing!! But what we didn't know was the chili to come on it!!! Guys, the chili is PERFECT, OFF THE HOOK, FANTASTIC!! Super messy in the car, but we didn't care. This was a great stop in between SF to AZ. Such a treat!! And thank you!! We ate EVERY bite!! read more

Tommy's is always good however the prices are kinda high lately, therefore i haven't been a regular like before. I'll still go due to the fantastic flavor but not as frequent. read more

I ordered a Chili Burger and Chili-cheese fries and large drink a Hispanic woman was professional and patient with me. I have to say I would come back and I recommend this particular place. read more

Not that impressive, the chili dogs weren't good at all, not much flavor in the chili. The burgers aren't flavorful like most places usually have them, I feel like I overpaid for the meals I purchased. Luckily I don't live out here and don't have to run into this place again. I was better off going to McDonald's next door. read more

Hmmmm, don't know what the hype is all about their chili, sad to say it does not have much flavor. The prices are expensive for the food you get. The burgers are small and pricey we came here cause of the BOGO cheeseburger on Facebook good this Monday to Wednesday. Prices I heard went up due to Covid understandable. Chili cheese fries $5.50 for small portion. Stars are for the friendly staff. read more

Wow just came to Tommy's amd the cashier had no personality at all. not even a smile and when I said Thank you he did not respond. Wen we got our order the lady food server sounded like she was yelling #418 not 14 so I didnt understand her. wen I apologize she didnt acknowledge that either. I recommend Tommy's should really teach thier employees some good customer service read more

Does Tommy's even need a Yelp page? It's a freaking classic. Their Spackle-like chili is like mortar for my heart (probably literally), but also romantically. This location (El Monte) has not disappointed. 'Nuff said. read more

Someone last week mentioned to me that Tommy's has a breakfast burrito. I knew about the breakfast sandwich, but I must have been living under a rock not to know about their burrito. Needless to say, today was my first chance to try it, and it was delicious. Every thing seemed balanced and tasty. The only challenge for me was to get there before 11am. It's part of their breakfast items menu.so if you want to get one, you need to order it before 11am. While I was there, I had to get some chili cheese fries to have later today. Delicious. read more

Been craving Tommy's chili cheese burger. Disappointed in quality of the lettuce and tomatoes. What's changed Tommy's? Had to go back again to make sure it wasn't an off day. Same poor quality. Mushy tomatoes and wilted lettuce. Thank god Tommy's has more than one store. Good news Had a better experience at the Pico Rivera store read more

Burgers barely had chili & that was even after I asked for extra chili. Chili cheese fries were 1/2 the size of a normal order of fries & also barely had any chili as well & those too were requested with extra chili. I was really disappointed with the service we received coming from a place I've loved as a child growing up, so I know what a real Tommy's burger & chili cheese fries looks like growing up blocks away from the Original Tommy's on Beverly & Rampart. I will never return to the location in El Monte & I will let all my friends & family know that although we all love & crave that chili that this location is not the 1 to go to. No matter how desperate we are for a Tommy's burger. I really wished they kept things the way they used to be & wonder if it is this way they are because they have not been around as long as the original location on Rampart & Beverly & really makes me wonder if all the rest of the Tommy's are following suit with this location. read more

i think this is one of the oldest burger places i know and it's excellent. The burgers are quite messy because the sauce is the sloppy joe, and they make it pretty good, and the meat is not cheap, but it looks expensive. The chili fries are bomb not going to lie i like this chili fries more than the hot chili fries. Since the fries are thin slice and compare to over place, for example, the hat fries are too thick-cut, and i dislike about that, and thin slice are better because it stays crunchy more and tastes better. read more

Chilli cheese fries are awesome. My dad hadn't tried one of Tommy's burgers in 9 years... Since we came to visit from Colorado, we went to this location yesterday, and he still says it's his favorite burger! I tried it for the first time and they are great for sure. read more

Horrible drive through service! I was placing a large order and after every item the cashier would say "anything else" really rudely. He was no better when we got up to the window. We had a total of 7 drinks and he didn't think to hand me cup holder, I had to ask. Twice. Then we pull away and I said that doesn't look like everything we ordered. Turns out we were missing a cheeseburger AND 3 orders of fries!! I parked and went in and Lizbeth was really rude to me saying she made the burgers herself. I showed her everything we got and she told her crew to give us what we were missing. Now she told them in Spanish so my coworker asked her for straws in Spanish. She looked at him like he had grown another head and played stupid like she didn't understand him. Not a very good example for her crew considering she was the "crew leader ". You just lost a whole office of customers! )Our order was $97-so not worth it. read more

First they got my order wrong. Second I found a string in my chili fries. Way to go. I love this place and they ruined my day lol read more

Original Tommy's - First they got my order wrong. Second I find this string in my chili cheese fries. - Burgers Near Me - El Monte, California

The original Tommys! Classic and doesn't get any better. This location is clean and has a lot of seating compared to the last location at peck and ramona. Price is good for the classic food. Air condition. Trying out the caliente burger. I like this location. Right off the freeway. Now the cons, the soda!! They used to have coke cola but now switch it to pepsi. Which is a disappoint since i love coke. Also the staff is pretty good. With the exception of one staff member . Pros A lot of available parking Clean tables and floors Good price for classic tommys food. read more

Weren't taking drive thru orders for no specific reason saw several people drive off after being ignored after I had gone inside and waited for my food read more

I believe the managers name is Lupe, she was very helpful when the drive thru person messed up my order. When I went back to exchange it she was super nice along with a different guy at the drive thru. Didn't catch his name. But they were very helpful. read more

Just discovered Tommy's the last year or so. Pretty legit. Chili burgers and dogs are no joke. Food isn't heavy or greasy, kinda like the in n out of chili burgers, fresher ingredients without a lot of filler (I can only assume anyways). And for this particular location, this has to be the cleanest fast food place I have ever been in. I washed my hands by rubbing them on the floor, that's how clean this place was. If Tommy's was a woman, I'd let her have her way with me. read more
