    Sunday, April 13, 2025, 1:00 pm. Just finished our last shopping run and decided to go to Tommy's at Imperial & Beach. They had their $3.49 double chili cheeseburger or chili dog promotion happening. It was a good time to visit this location as I've never been to this one. We ordered takeout via the drive thru. There was only a single car at the pickup window. Always remember to announce that you're ordering the promotional item. If you don't tell them, you'll be charged full price. My son and I got two each. I got mine with the lettuce wraps. Service was great. The order was repeated back and the total given. At the window we were offered yellow Chile peppers and ketchup. The bag included napkins and a single fork. It took a few minutes to make the burgers. I was handed bag of burgers and off we went. This location is newer so it was very clean looking compared to the OGs in LA.

    I would rather drive all the way to the Tommy's in Eagle Rock before I ever come back here. I gave this location many visits and each time, it finds new ways to disappoint. Never again.... 1. Service -need better training 2. Food- Employees need to get orders correct 3. Ambience- there is none. Its always empty and the orders still take 20- 30 minutes in the drive-thru. I love Tommy's, it's nostalgic to me. But this location ruins it! :) Thanks for reading my rant! :D @just_._jax

    There are times when I really need a pick-me-up after a monotonous day, and without heeding my diet. Tommy's original burger fits the bill! It's greasy, messy, and unhealthy but it's also intensely flavored, fun, and iconic! This junk food is a must-have. This specific location is in a strip mall anchored by a Trader Joe's and a Burlington coat factory, with ample parking. Drive-through service is also available. Chili peppers are available on request!

    I drive a total of 45 mins for a tommys $8 SMASHED tamale....never doing that again. I always order my chili on the side but never have I gotten a smashed tamale for $8!!! Ridiculous

    Deal !

I'm surprised that this place specializes in brisket but does not have a basic brisket sandwich on the menu. They do have a brisket grilled cheese but that wasn't what we were going for. I even asked if we could get the brisket grilled cheese without the cheese, but apparently they don't do that.... Make it make sense... Why do you care if I have the cheese on it or not. I don't understand how you have brisket tacos, brisket quesadilla but don't have a basic brisket sandwich? Seems odd. In the end it didn't really matter because the brisket was terrible anyways. It was definitely not fresh (a dead giveaway was it was about 50% cold and 50% lightly warmed) pretty good indication that it came out of the refrigerator. It was also very dry and when I say "fell apart" it was more like crumbled apart. The one positive though was the mac & cheese! It was out of this world delicious, over the top amazing probably the best mac & cheese I've ever had. It was piping hot and cooked perfectly! I feel like it must've been a very off night for this restaurant, based on the majority of their reviews, I had very high expectations that it would be amazing. I was kind of bummed that it fell very short of amazing.

But bonus points for Speed and Simplicity I've never eaten-in there but I take food to go all the time. Or I use to, but it's gotten a bit too expensive for me now considering it's mostly just good, staple food. The service is great. They're direct and it's nothing fancy. I love calling to place an order. No fluff, just place the order, show up in 5 minutes to pay, grab it 5 minutes later. In particular, I use to get the burgers a bunch and some of their breakfast burritos. They're all generally solid, and I think I've had almost every combination they offer over the years. It's just not worth it to me anymore when I've gotten better at home cooking and can make it for a fraction of the price. But it's still good in a pinch when I'm lazy enough to want to pay!

In town for family stuff, so when we were deciding where to go eat, I automatically said, "Pastrami at Imperial Burgers." My cousins come here all the time, but they agreed. The pastrami is thick, flavorful. The juices soak into the roll. The pickle and mustard just add to the deliciousness of this sandwich. This is your west coast style pastrami... not your East coast dry pastrami on rye. We ordered onion rings to go with our pastramis. So crisp and flavorful. We got ranch on the side to dunk the giant rings into. Hot and cool. Yum. The service was quick. The building isn't much to look at... some benches outside or inside, but everything was clean... even the bathroom. Whenever I come home, I'll always come back to Imperial Burgers.
