Tommy's been around for so long. The first visit was years and years ago at a different location. Haven't had a chili cheeseburger in a while so decided to drop by. Their chili was still good as before. Makes me wonder why I haven't been back. Nothing really changed except for the prices lol still same old good chili cheeseburger. Service was ok. They packaged the food pretty neatly. They wrapped the burger with like 3-4 sheets to make sure the chili didn't leak out. Thanks!! Gonna get it again when in the area =] read more

Unfortunately, my boyfriend's experience at this Long Beach location was very different from the consistently great experiences he has had at the Los Angeles location. The tomato was hard, the bread was disappointing, and the overall presentation was not as appealing as expected. He also felt that the flavor and quality were noticeably below what he normally associates with Tommy's. The service from the night crew was also disappointing. About an hour before closing, he was told that the ice cream machine had already been turned off and that they did not want to turn it back on. He would give the Los Angeles location five stars, but based on the food quality, presentation, and service during this visit, he rated the Long Beach location three stars. read more

Original Tommy's in Long Beach always hits the spot; there truly is no better chili cheeseburger in the world. The fries are consistently crispy and have a great snap, making them the perfect pairing for dipping into that chili-cheese gooey goodness. The ambience is straightforward, featuring only outdoor seating. They also have a solid drive-thru game, where you are usually in and out within five to ten minutes--though you might run into a longer line right after a local high school football game. To top it off, the staff is always friendly, helpful, and completely locked in. read more

Good burger spot. Easy fast food. A little more pricey than I expected. Service was awesome, very polite and our food was made fresh. Outdoor seating. read more

This spot has its own parking lot so there's plenty of parking. Wanted to kill my craving and it's been years since I've had a Tommy's chili cheeseburger and that's exactly what I ordered a number one combo with regular fries cooked well and honestly, their burgers got smaller for $20 not worth it. I was looking at their menu prices for à la carte items and the prices don't add up. I shared this with my friend, and it hit the spot though when I come back again anytime soon? NO. read more

A little Tommy's love here. Been stopping at various stores for almost 4 decades. Including one that was 1hr + drive away - it was the closest one. Since we don't come to SoCal frequently, Tommy's is required. Like the original location this is a stand, tables with umbrellas for dining. Great for today's sunny day. Just the Cheeseburger and fries for me. Nowhere near the taste I've come to expect. The burger tasted off - best description I can give. It wasn't the chili it was messy and greasy as expected and tasted good separately. So it must have been the meat, veg or both. Took the innards off and ate the chili with my fries. Disappointed in the taste but the chili was good. read more

Got a Chill Burger and Chili Cheese Fries. If you follow OT on FB, you get updates on their current limited specials. So normally the Chili Cheese Fries are $7.40. The current limited special reduced it down to $3.99. Always been a big fan of their chill. You can actually buy a similar version of their chill at Smart & Final. Look for RC Provisions Chili Con Carne. It comes in a 5 lb frozen tube. My only issue today was that the Chill Cheese Fries were a little too salty. They were crispy. However, next time I will tell them to use no salt fries for the Chill Cheese Fries. Service was friendly and prompt. read more

I'm a big Tommy's fans from when my father used to treat us to their burgers and hot dogs after his work. My father was as excited as I was. I love following them on IG for their weekly specials. If you don't, you don't know what you are missing. Got my favorite chili tamale this time. Ok, bye. read more

One thing I appreciate about Southern California is how strong our Burger and Fast Food culture is. Honestly, I'd tell people not from the area to try Tommy's before In-N-Out, so they have insight into what an LA burger is. Everything inside the bun comes together harmoniously and I love that DoorDash is offering a BOGO deal on the cheeseburgers. read more

After our cruise, I had to stop and get some Tommy's! First time here at the one in Long Beach. Its a cool building. You can tell its old school. I hit the drive through and went with an order of well done chili cheese fries with onions, and a breakfast burrito (check their Facebook/Instagram for weekly deals....the day I came, they had a breakfast burrito for $3.99!...cant beat that!). How was everything? Chili Cheese Fries- If you have read my previous reviews, you know how much I love Tommy's chili cheese fries. They are THE best! None better, anywhere! These were the same! Super fresh, crispy well done fries, topped with some slices of American cheese and drowned in their delicious chili with onions on top. Perfection! Breakfast Burrito- For $3.99, this is a GREAT deal...not always that cost, check the Facebook and Instagram posts for the specials of the week/day. Anyways.....Huge burrito with eggs, cheese, hash browns, sausage and a ton of chili. Fresh and hot, the chili really goes well with all the other ingredients. Super delicious! Service was great from the guy at the register/drive through! Glad to know this Tommy's is here in Long Beach for future stops! Can't wait to come back! read more

I'm a long time fan of Original Tommy's having gone to the original location numerous times in Echo Park. Inflation has raised the price of the combo meal 1 to a whopping $18.01. Despite the price, I happen to be in LB and yelped that they have a location here which was on my way home. Pictures never do the burger justice and all I can say is "once you try, you cannot deny - Original Tommy's." read more

While we were in the local area after running errands we chose to come to Tommy's. We drove thru the drive thru. We decided we would sit and eat in car. It was not so busy until after we recieved our food. The line got longer. I Just devoured my chili tamale I had been craving for some time now. One thing for sure they are never short of any chili ! There are 3 tables to sit down and dine there. There is no inside dining. We enjoyed our chili read more

I've been going to Tommy's for over forty years, and they've been consistently excellent every single time! The combination of their signature chili, thick and juicy tomato slices, crunchy pickles, melted cheese, and just the right touch of mustard makes this burger truly unbeatable. There's nothing else quite like it -- messy in the best way possible, full of flavor, and uniquely Tommy's. You just can't duplicate this taste anywhere else. It's a California gem and a must-stop spot for anyone who loves a great burger. After four decades of visits, I can confidently say -- Tommy's never disappoints! read more

I was hesitant to visit this place because I seen a video posted about this location. The video had a rat jumping around the kitchen by the chili. This was about 4 years ago. Nevertheless we were hungry after a concert we attended. It was about 11pm, Ordered a double chilli burger and chilli fries. The food hit the spot! Everything was greasy and my taste buds were roaring with cholesterol! Lol. Overall, I recommend this place regardless of what I saw. Things can be corrected. Plenty of parking and about 5 tables outdoor seating. There is no indoor seating just fyi. I gave this place 4 stars just because of the time I got here. A bar across the street and a few crazies walking on anaheim street. Delicious :) read more

Ok, call me crazy, call me weird, call me whatever you want! Just don't call me late for dinner! Ba dum tss! Ok enough of the jokes! hahaha! Whenever I feel like having a chili cheese dog I come to Tommy's. Yes, it is a burger joint, famous for their chili burgers, however their chili dogs are delicious as well! Can I get an amen?! Staff are friendly and ready to take your order. The place is small so I usually take my food to go and enjoy my meal in the comfort of my home. Conclusion: Need a a classic chili cheese burger or chili dog come to Tommy's! Don't forget to ask for extra napkins, you'll thank me later! P.S. Their chili tamales are amazing! read more

Original Tommy's - Tommy's drive thru - Burgers Near Me - Long Beach, California

Waited for 40 minutes, there were only two cars in front of me, and one person in the walk up line! The two dorks working there, looked like the bottom of the barrel. Gave me a Pepsi, that was overfilled and spilled all over my car. This location has always had poor service. It's a poop show there!! Never going back. The two useless workers there, will never amount to anything in life! I hope they don't procreate! read more

The food here is really good -- no complaints there. But the service? Kind of threw me off. We waited in line and not one person acknowledged us. No "Hi," no "We'll be right with you," nothing. Just weird energy. When someone (a guy with glasses) finally acknowledged me as I was about to order, he suddenly stopped and said he was going to help the people behind me first because they were picking up. I get it -- pickups can be quick. But the way it was done felt rude. No explanation, no courtesy, just brushed off like I wasn't standing there ready to order. I'd come back for the food, but definitely not for the hospitality. read more

Today I decided to try something different and have a Breakfast Burrito at this location. After being greeted very coldly, I began to place my order. Unfortunately they are out of sausage patties today. Being an idea type of guy, I suggested they put a hamburger patty on the burrito instead. The lady told that would be an extra charge. I stated would my breakfast burrito be any cheaper because they're out of sausage patties? The lady said no, and that's why she told me they're out of sausage patties before. A huge difference from my last review here. I left hungry and we ate someplace else. read more

This is is the worst food ever and unpaid 8 bucks for the worst ever. I ordered chill cheese fires, they gave me fries with horrible disgusting chilli..What a waste of time and money. read more

Some of the best chili for burgers and dogs out there. Been around for years. The chili fries while not a huge portion fill you up all by themselves! Excellent chili to fries ratio. No frie will be uncovered! Chili burger and chili dogs both good. I buy a pint of chili to go for chili cheese omelettes. read more

They offer good email coupon deals every week and food is good but you have to like chili! Friendly service too!

The meat was cold in some places. Not as good as all the hype. The cost was ok. Would not go back.

Total waste of money, the "chili" is like dog food so gross. I was extremely disappointed and should've just went to Wiener schnitzel. EXTREMELY greasy wouldn't recommend read more

Another trip down memory lane! We were in Long Beach for the weekend and saw this, which caused us to make a left turn for an order of chili cheese fries! As we remember it, greasy chili with tender perfectly cooked fries underneath. And the taste of Tommy's is still there! The three stars is really more about the wait time to order, through the drive through. It was several minutes for sure! When we got up to the window, I only saw two people so asked and he said there were actually three of them. Also said that management won't bring on any additional people so the result is a long line and long wait. Not the employee's fault, blame the management/ownership for wanting to keep costs down I suppose. But you risk losing customers! We saw two cars actually move out of line and drive away. I may have done the same except for our draw of wanting to have Tommy's!!! read more

We spent $150 and each time was wrong. We ordered regular cheeseburgers and got chili burgers. The amount of chili that added seemed like a Taco Bell bathroom gone wrong. It did not taste good one bit. Not sure how they're able to use the "world's famous" phrase. Their service is alright but wouldn't say the best. They just want you out of the drive thru which may explain why all of the food was wrong. It's a small spot that you can tell it's been around for a while. Anyways, wouldn't be back nor recommend. read more

Wasn't my favorite. I was a fan of the Original Tommy's in LA off Rampart. Unfortunately, it seems like the Tommy's recipe and quality varies from location to location. I was craving chili cheese fries and Tommy's is open nice and late. The staff was friendly and they came out relatively quickly, so neither one of those parts was an issue. When I opened the box it was like a bomb went off in there. The fries weren't crispy, the cheese was cheese slices, and the chili was simultaneously greasy and absent of flavor. There are so many places in Long Beach to get a good chili cheese fries. I would not order these again. read more

Horrible customer service the workers are trash. Need new workers. if the food is decent.

Not sure why Original Tommy's has so many locations, the chili burger is overpriced and the chili is pretty bland in my opinion. All I taste is chili in the burger and it's not particularly good. read more

Poor service I told them about the deal chilli cheese fries and double chilli cheese burger special till 1-12-2026-1-15-2026 they said they don't do it but they knew it was a special but because of my race they wouldn't give it to me 7:20pm 1-7-2026 2 workers male & female. read more

The service sucks, great food, I actually just left after standing at the window being ignored for 5 minutes....

The losers working 5/19/25 need to find a job that doesn't require them to stay open until midnight, or they need to learn how to SUCK IT UP. Turning off the grill 30 min before closing is one thing, but being extremely condescending and visibly angry is just unacceptable. This behavior had us questioning if our food was even safe to eat. read more

Food is good per usual but customer service at this spot is shidt. I asked for 2 covers for to go with my large order and they refused to give me 2 after the employee asked his manager a short heavier set Latina. I asked for her name to put it here and the employee said "I don't know her name" lol the dude is committed to her cause! Young guy looked like he was 15. Also, Lady acts like she's in the back making those boxes. That's why I only go to the rampart location and keep it original. No consideration over the amount of food carried. At least charge for them like store do for bags. Box gate keepers. Our food got cold and sucked of course after the drive home. They also forgot to add 4 burgers to my order which I paid for. Clowns at this location. read more

Classic walk-up joint to get some good chili! First time trying this place. And I loved the chili cheese dog - perfect amount of chili and toppings. I had a good laugh about how they put a whole slice of a tomato instead of dicing it up haha! Be prepared to get messy when eating xD I was surprised that they were open so early - this spot definitely satisfied my chili cravings. Service was fairly quick as well. Ample seating outside to grab a quick eat. I will be coming again to try their other meals like the chili burger! read more

I would not have written this review but I called and left a message with corp. on 10/4/25 and called again on 10/6/25 because I never got a call back. I called again on 10/9/25 because I did not hear from anyone after being told on 10/6/25 I would get a call. On 10/9/25 I did speak with someone from corp. I explained that on 10/4/25 I ordered a chili cheese burger I live 20 miles from this location. I get home and I have a hamburger with lettuce tomato bacon . I tried calling no one picked up so I drive back my order was taken at 6p.m I returned around 7 p.m. I get to the window this young mgr. come to the window I tell him the problem hand him the bag and give him my order number. He then ask me if I have a receipt which I do I asked him if he could pull it up by the order number. He then tells me that it is my place to keep the receipt I am thinking it is your job to get the order right. I give him the receipt and ask him to you really think that I have to lie about a burger that is in your bag. he says yes people lie I am not sure if it was the color of my skin or the people that come to this location . I was going to have them remake the burger I explained that I had to drive 20 miles to bring the burger back and another to get home I asked what can you do for the mistake he said remake the burger because of he was so rude I asked for a refund oh when he saw my receipt he said one burger as if one burger was an insult but he did not bother to offer me one free burger for the mistake not even a soda. he then gave me the bag back with the wrong burger I said I asked for a refund as if he did not hear me. I asked him why would you give me this back I said di you even look at it I took it out the bag and showed it to him he then said oh . My receipt was correct with a chili cheese burger. I have gone to other location this was my first time and last time coming to this location. I waited in drove thru before I could order almost 20 minutes. One person was at the window the other person was sitting where you order but for some reason they could not take his order until the person at the window left. I blew my horn at some point because I thought that they did not no that someone was at the speaker to order. After seeing the reviews about this location I take it that they really do not care because it seems that the correction have not been made about the rude behavior. Without customers even buying ONE burger you would not have a job to be rude read more
