Horrible service. Placed a simple cheese burger combo and 30 minutes later nothing yet. Forgot all about the order. read more

Their chilli is to die for! It's really thick, super meaty and the seasoning is so so good! I love getting their chili cheese fries. read more

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

Tommy's is always good! I always enjoys the chili cheese burger and chili fries. Can't go wrong with a chili dog! Best chili joint in LA read more

Whenever I'm in the LBC, late at night and craving for some grub-- I go to Tommy's! Burgers-- Hamburger, cheeseburger or double cheeseburger with an option of adding their signature chili inside. Honestly, I'm not a huge of their chili but when I'm in the mood I ask for easy chili since they really smother it on. Ordering a grilled cheese is always a good choice as well. Fries-- I love their fries! Hot, (semi greasy) diner fries that are meant to be dipped in ketchup. For an additional price you can also have them make your combo with chili cheese fries. Peppers! The peppers are the best! You can even order the peppers in a jar so you can have a stash at home. I haven't gone that far yet, but I am completely addicted to these little things. Yum! This location is the best when it comes to service. The employees here are always so helpful and my order is always on point, when I ask for no onions or pickles and extra peppers. FYI late at night, this location can get kind of rowdy with the after clubbers or the drunk people from the neighboring bars. read more

OH MY CHILI! Talk about a good meal. Although the chili cheeseburgers look small when you first get them, don't be fooled. These little guys know how to fill you up! I'm one to judge a chili cheeseburger since you can say I have an addiction. I feel like most places that serve them, don't have the right ingredients to pull it off. I was a little hesitant at first since I haven't had Tommy's in years. After ordering a combo which consist of fries, medium drink, and your burger, my taste buds were in love. What I really enjoyed was how everything was cooked perfectly and went so well together. I've tried plenty of chili were it ruined the rest of the a the burger. Tommy's on the other hand, got it right. I recommend basically everything on the menu. The chili cheese fries were very appetizing and a must! They put the right amount of chili where your fries won't get soggy. The most memorable was of course, their burgers. If you're ever in LBC or LAC, stop by Tommy's and enjoy their original world famous burgers! read more

Tommy's is one of my favorite California hamburger food chains (the other one would be In-n-Out). The chili is what makes me come back every time (it's pretty good) the chili can be bought separate. The fries are good but that chili tho! They have locations through out So Cal Btw chili to-go for breakfast eggs the next day could be a good thing ;) read more

A billion apologies. How in the world could I have left this place out in LBC??!?!?!?! Upon working in LBC, I craved missing out on the big T and I heard a rumor that there was one in LBC but rarely do people go. WTF? As soon as I investigated, I rounded up about 10 coworkers to get their grub on and appreciate the sloppiness, the jalapenos, the CHILI, the burger. Happy smiles all round till about 3-4pm when everyone was slowly disappearing from their desk area/cubicles..... hmmmm. So what if I got cursed at for taking them to Tommy's and they had weak stomachs? You know damn well that it was all worth every bit as you're lying in fetal position..... ))====3333 read more

Grab a .38 caliber snub nose pistol. Place one bullet in the chamber. Spin the chamber and close it. Put the weapon in you're mouth and pull the trigger. This is the experience of eating at Tommy's World Famous Hamburgers. Explanation of the High KOO (get it Haiku) is this place sends such an amazing fast food rush through you're body. A rush complete with piles of chili and cheese on your burger and fries but if you mess around with Tommy's too much it just might kill you. read more

BASURAAAA!!! The food is trash! The chili looks like a dog had diarrhea and squatted over my burger, and it was soggy on top on that!! The burger patty itself was bland and disgusting. I would not recommend this food it was a complete waste of money. read more

Wow!!! After one too many a drink at Iguana's, I stumbled over here. What is it about grease and fat that sounds awesome after drinking!? Their chili was awesome, their cheeseburger was fantastic, and then it happened... its 4am...and daniel is in the bathroom making sounds as if he's going to die! I'm going to find other reasons for this mistake rather than blaming it on Tommy. I said Oh, it was probably to much drinking, or maybe it was the smoking, or you haven't thrown up like that in a while, so you were long overdue! ...don't worry Tommy, I got your back! read more

I have to give a review for the guy that's answering the phones right now I recognize his voice from when I go into this Tommy's location instead of ordering on doordash I'm sorry I don't remember your name but you are awesome you have such a kind caring personality both over the phone and in person .. night shift workers dont always have the best attitude so I appreciate you being not only helpful but just a over all good person . Give this man a raise ! read more

Ugh. I never learn. Tommy's was a bad idea the last time I had it and it was a bad idea again. I am being reminded of just how bad an idea Tommy's was a day later. I guess you can say it's the gift that keeps on giving. If you enjoy that "I just ate a brick" feeling, this is the place for you. read more

This is our favorite go to for anything chilli. My fav is the chilli.cheese dog with everything. Nice, easy location on Anaheim in long beach read more

Good Ol' Tommy's. It's not my favorite burger, true. But when you want what they got, there's no substitute. Their burgs piled with chili, cheese, and pickles are coma inducing, then add a side of their thick-cut fries, and you'll be knocked out for the day. Stick with the #2 cheeseburger combo and you can't go wrong, and be sure to get a side of peppers. Heck, they even have Cherry Coke and Coke Zero, for those who don't like diet. And even if you don't order their chili cheese fries, just eat your burger above your fry tray, you'll have an order ready halfway through your burger. Your mouth wil be happy even if your stomach and colon get angry. read more

I always stop by here late nights for chili cheese fries when I want a fast food fix. Food was good as usual. My server, Enedino was the nicest guy and has good customer service skills. Give him a raise Tommy corporate! Will go back again. read more

Oh boy what have I gotten myself into. Wish I knew beforehand that the chili cheese came on the burger automatically. Wasn't really looking forward to all that, or maybe I just don't read the menu well enough. I have to say, the value here is not that great. Especially since I can go up the street to Jim's and get a much bigger and better burger for only a dollar or two more. Probably won't be back for a while until the management changes. read more

One of the best burgers and fresh ingredients and comparable to In and Out. You can choose to have a burger with out without thousand island sauce in the burger. The fries are thicker too. They even offer spicy jalapeño peppers and great service! I recommend this joint for a juicy burger and fries. read more

I must say the food is good here, but no one understands what lite, a little bit or not much chili means. I was so irritated to find my whole meal packed with chili 4 items over $30 spent to be unhappy. We we're still at the window so the young lady stood there and looked at me. I would have at least liked her to say we can make you another one or take some chili off. Nope she just stood there while I was saying for a 2nd time this is too much chili ma'am. Since she made no effort to correct the problem I didn't want to ask to send it back and they do something my meal so I just left. So I won't be going back but the food is good read more

Tommy's is hands down the best/worst food ever. A love/hate relationship if I have ever experienced it. You love it at 2 am when you are shoving fries down your drunken face but hate yourself for all of your weakness the next morning. The greasy chili and cheese is good on burgers and on fries. Heck if you are eating one food item with chili you might as well eat both with chili. My favorite part is the sign that says "Keep the Noise Down." You know you are in a bad part of town when there is a sign that reminds you to be quiet when you are eating your chili cheese burger! read more

Not a fan. I thought the chili had no taste. Actually, the whole burger had no taste. The fries were excellent along with my fountain drink, but that's it. oh, and it made my farts smell like garbage!!!!! read more

One star for Tommy's quality not service. Service was average, didn't have to wait long for my food and I like that they're open late. Quality and taste gets one star because, well, I find the chili burger and fries to lack flavor. I always expect a hint of something that makes it juicy, or spicy, something, but I don't. It's bland. read more

I was promised the most amazing, savory, delicious, like no other, best darn Chili Cheese fries of my life. Nope. Not in my book. Tommy's isn't bad, don't get me wrong. All I'm saying is that I've had better chili cheese fries. Their chili burgers are a different story! What a delicious chili burger, I don't regularly consume chili other than chili cheese fries every once in a blue moon, and this was so satisfying. It came with all the fix-ins, tomatoes, onion, cheese, even pickles. They serve your food in paper box trays, like the ones you get at school cafeterias. Ah, good times. The menu is very small, and I believe everything has chili unless you ask for it not to. Prices are standard, very good. At this location there are only outside seating tables, and a nice little parking lot where you can enjoy your meal. They are relatively fast paced, and as far as I can see, everything is made to order. There are windows all around, and you can see the employees preparing your food. They can also see you. This is especially great in my experience, as, I went to use their restroom (which is located outside as well) but it was locked, so as I came back around to the front window to ask for a key, an employee had seen me and already had the key in his hand waiting at the window!! How very sweet! Let me mention that their bathroom is very clean! Quite surprising, considering they are located outside. With that being said, that man, along with the cashier and others whom I encountered, allow me to conclude that service is wonderful! There is nothing better than running into hardworking smiles. Tommy, don't take the Chili Cheese fries thing personal, 4 Stars. read more

Enedino from Tommy's in LB assisted me. I've been a time Tommy's fan, the chili cheese burgers at this location are as expected for a Tommy's burger, although in recent times the flavor and several changes in their menu has disappointed, and with that in mind today Enedino(gentlemen who took order and delivered burger, provided superb customer service and an excellent meal. Their service is no fluke, I've eaten there on numerous occasions and food and service is first class. Update: this place has RATS, big fat rats...google it or YouTube, video of rat inside restaurant. read more

Tommy burgers are not for burger aficionados! They are for when you want greasy and cheesy and bad chili stuffed into a commercial bun and topped with canned pickles. Perfect hangover food or party food. You almost have to have a craving to eat here. This place became famous with their original location off the 101 and have expanded from there. There are a lot of imitators, but, only one truly greasy Tommy burgers!! Drink a six pack before arriving and you'll love this place. Enjoy read more

WARNING! If you are like me.. Don't go back to work after you eat Tommy's! Just stay home.. How about only eat it when you're not doing anything all day! I'm not a big chili fan but dang! Tommy's chili is amazing! Their chili burger and fries are tasty! Their chili is so good on a burger, a hot dog or fries!! You can never go wrong with any of those combinations! The service is great, the food is tasty and the location has great parking! What more can you ask for? ooh maybe the "moment after you finish" feeling. The "oh my gosh what did I get myself into" mood. Because all those questions about WHY DID I do this will come to your mind! But was it worth it?! Worth it indeed! read more

Tommy's is an institution. Live in SoCal long enough and you will end up here eventually. In-N-Out is nice, but Tommy's is down and dirty. It's the gut busting chili that makes it my guilty pleasure. Chili on the burger, chili on the fries. It's thick as plaster, delicious and will probably kill me one day. I love eating the chili cheeseburger and having the pickles try to escape from the bread. There's no way out, fellas. Your days are numbered. It deserves five stars. It is what it is. It doesn't purport to be anything else, and I never want them to change. I did try their Caliente burger but was not impressed. I'm old school. read more

It's a California original, and it's something that is really good after a night at Alex's Bar. It's greasy...it's sloppy...it's just incredible. The chili cheese fries are just heaven in a brown bag/box. Yeah my ass paid for it the next day, but dammit it was worth it! read more

I love Tommys but this one was a bit short on everything. I ordered the MEga Combo with extra onions and pickles plus pickles on my chili fries. Nope got none of that on there. It was still good but I still wanted my extra kick of sourness with the pickles. The other downside is if you use the drive thru you can totally see how dirty it is in the back. Its a bit concerning when you see junk, dirty and dirty mops all over the place. The worker could care less who you are and what you wanted based on his attitude but I was just happy I got my burger and fries. read more

ahhh.... so disappointing.... lookie here Yelpers..... I LOVE greasy, clog artering "OMG I think my heart just stopped!" food. I've always wanted to try Tommy's but was afraid to stop by cause I heard the cholos and the crips kick it there. Once my bullet proof vest came in the mail, I was ready to try Tommy's. I wanted to play it safe so I got a double cheeseburger. C'mon Tommy, why put tomatoes and pickles in a chili burger? A greasy burger should just include meat, cheese and chili. No veggies. The chili wasn't even good yo. It was bland, it needed salt. I had to hold my head down in shame as I finished the burger (of course I finished it, I wasn't going to let a burger go to waste!) I cried a little for Tommy's that day... my heavenly like vision of Tommy's had disappeared... read more

online ordering makes it so much easier for the phone savvy. quick easy and on time always! cheese fries FTW

Nothing better on a Sunday than a couple hours of yard work followed by a Tommy's chili burger, a couple of beers, and a nap. This is the very best, and I will be coming here for another 20 years. read more

Meh. I don't see what's so great about this place.. My friends were craving this the other night, and I tagged along. They were shocked to hear that I've never had Tommy's. "An LA landmark". My bad, guys. It's been around for decades, I get it. We ordered a chili burger, chili dog and chili fries. Might as well have ordered a heart attack. I felt no pleasure in this, just GUILT. read more

Wait, a review, really? This is Tommy's. this is what late night eating is all about. It is open 24 hours a day. The chili an the burger go together like they are supposed to. Yet they spread that chili love all over the fries, the hot dogs. It is a condiment that no one has discover before. Ketchup, mustard, pickles are on the way out. This is what make the food here is their chili. Worry about the chilis the next day, enjoy them with your meal. read more

Stopped by Tommys this afternoon for some lunch. I ordered the cheese burger combo at the drive thru, which was pretty quick. The burger was delicious, I hadn't had a chilli burger in years. I smashed that thing! The fries were really good as well. The best $7 I spent all day!** **it was the only $7 I spent all day. read more

Go through Drive Through and don't wait in line. I made that mistake tonight. I saw there were 6 cars total in lime which if you've ever been to this Tommy you know that's a lot!! I saw no one in line (although about 5 people were already sited with their food) and despite no one being in line it took them Aprox 24 mins for my order and I saw every car in the Drive Through helped before me which was very disheartening. I worked 12 hours today so it's 10:08pm and I'm just eating my first meal. Let's please prioritize the customers who aren't in a car please. We matter just as much. One LOVE read more

I like to eat here after a night of drinking and then give my girlfriend a dirty tommy while she's asleep. You know.... when your fingers smell like chili and onion and then you take your finger and drag it under the nose real slow? haha! No, really the only time I eat here is when I'm close to being blacked-out because the grease from the food will be soaked up in the booze. I get the TRIFECTA which to me and my friends is: 1 Chile cheeseburger, 1 Chili cheese dog, and 1 chili cheese fry. With a diet coke of course. Then it's time to get your spackle on! Usually I will be awakened about 4 AM by the violent gurgling in my stomach. Really, its usually a quick butt-death tho like a buckshot......."BLAM!" I don't recommend wiping to hard - just give it a little dab. Be sure to have an industrial-strength toilet scrubber too. Plus, Tommy's is the gift that keeps on givin' cuz you will burp that shit up for a good day or so. Have the Tums on standby. read more
