    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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."

    Angel had the best customer service, super kind and quick. Everyone in the car said he deserves a raise. Food is always good

    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

    Rather good chili, I personally prefer the chilies to the burgers. Chili cheese fries are commendable as well.

    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 :)

    I had a really meaningful experience at this location thanks to Christina…read more I had just gone through a pretty devastating situation before coming in, and I was a bit all over the place. Christina met me with such a genuine smile and an eagerness to help that immediately made a difference. When I mentioned I wasn't quite myself, she showed me so much patience and grace and it didn't go unnoticed. Her kindness and understanding turned what could've just been a routine stop into something I truly appreciated. It's rare to come across someone who treats people with that level of care, especially in a busy setting. Thank you, Christina, for being so thoughtful and compassionate. Your service meant more than you probably realize.

    Warning: Do not use this drive thru. It is the worst fast food drive thru I have ever experienced…read more Getting in is a car accident hazard. Finding where the line starts is an adventure to say the least. The young woman who took my order outside was very slow and was allowing the cars to pile up behind her. I told her I needed to move forward after she sauntered over towards me. She took my order from the passenger side so I was basically screaming at her and she didn't take that as a social cue to move to the drivers side. She heard my dog barking in the car and was appalled, stepped back and gave me a dirty look. She corrected me after I said "animal fries" and called it something else...overall it was a terrible experience. My cashier was much lovelier and kinder. It seems the younger generation is less concerned with customer service and manners. I highly recommend going to a different location for your drive thru needs.

    Recently stopped by Beach City Deli & BBQ after seeing recommendations online and decided to order…read morethe Big Kahuna. Honestly, one of the best sandwiches I've had in a long time. The pineapple added to what's basically a Cuban style sandwich sounds different at first, but it works perfectly. The balance of sweet, savory, crispy, and smoky was spot on. Everything tasted super fresh and the bread held everything together perfectly without getting soggy. My original plan was to eat half and save the rest for later... yeah, that didn't happen. Ended up finishing the whole thing because it was that good. Service was friendly, food came out quick, and the whole spot had a really chill local vibe. Definitely a hidden gem if you're in the area. Highly recommend this place and I'll for sure be back to try more off the menu.

    BIRTHDAY MONTH=BIRTHDAY COUPONS=HAPPY RODNEY…read more Free 8 inch cold sandwich for VIP members (6 Way Italian not included) Big Bucky (choice of 3 meats) 6 way Italian is my usual go-to, so it's unfortunate the sandwich is no longer included in the birthday month promo. But, I understand. That particular sandwich is loaded with 6 kinds of meat. The contingency sandwich became the Big Bucky, w/ the choice of 3 meats. Soppressata, mortadella, bacon, extra onions, pickles & tomatoes. A satisfying, filling sub sandwich that made for a pleasurable lunch. A nominal wait, the meat were freshly sliced, and assembling the sandwich with plump & crisp vegetables, it was worth every minute of delay. The cashier was friendly & a pleasure to deal with, too.
