Hubbers was in the mood for their one-of-a-kind chili burgers but didn't want to trek all the way to Westlake or the now (as we recently learned) defunct location in Santa Monica. With Yelp to the rescue, we learned the closest location from where we were is here or Huntington Park. This location was further, but we opted for it since the drive was easier. And the drive was easy. What made it more pleasant is that it wasn't busy on a mid-day Saturday. There was only one customer ahead of us already waiting for his order and maybe a couple of cars at the drive thru. It was a simple order to-go: 2 cheeseburgers, one burger, 2 chili dogs, 2 chili cheese fries. (This is for a party of 6.) But for whatever reason, the cashier had trouble with getting our order right. When repeating the order, she forgot the dogs. At her second attempt, she forgot the fries. She had to repeat the whole thing at least two more times after that to get it right. It wasn't long before we got our order and went on our way. Hubbers mentioned he should have ordered another cheeseburger "for later" as he looked through our box of goodies. It's a good thing he did and it's a good thing we hadn't driven too far because he noticed the fries were missing. We checked our receipt and sure enough, this particular order wasn't there. We opted for the drive thru when we returned. Two cars ahead of us. And for whatever reason, it took 20 for us to put in our order, then another ten minutes before we got our missing food and off on our way home. There were no customers at the window, so I'm not sure what the delay was about. The packaging was great because even with the time getting home, the food somehow stayed warm. It is as expected: Tommy's really does have that specific taste exclusive to them. The one thing I love about their chili is that it contains no beans. The portion of food isn't too big either so having the chili burger didn't make me feel like I was overstuffed. FOOD: 5. It is as expected. Most important is that Hubbers is happy the food hit his hunger spot. SERVICE: 2. But I'm hoping the cashier's wellness is okay since it's highly unusual not to get the order right despite repeating it multiple times. VALUE: 3. PARKING: Private parking with only a couple of spots. Street parking also available. OVERALL: 3.25. It's not something I normally crave. The trip was for Hubbers mostly, but overall an okay run. Everyone else in the household enjoyed their goodies. We would return should Hubbers' Tommy food trip kick in again. read more

If In-N-Out is the official fast-food California burger, I nominate Original Tommy's as the official burger of Los Angeles. Started from a small shack in the Los Angeles Rampart district, this burger chain created a new burger with something special - chili. No other fast-food burger chain has replicated this idea in the menu. Here is an insightful tip. Follow Original Tommy's IG, where they promote BOGO deals. I was here a few days to explore my option in getting a BOGO cheeseburger. What I ordered: CHEESEBURGER (530 calories) - Their chili isn't the best stand-alone chili, but it compromises with the burger. The chili's grease bleeds through the paper and makes it transparent. Not sure if that's a good sign, but in the back of the mind, I'm sure the grease and fat are the reason why I crave Tommy's once in a blue moon. read more

Original Tommy's - A plain ass hot dog - Burgers Near Me - Long Beach, California

One of the best burgers in town, perfectly juicy and packed with flavor, and their chili is absolutely amazing--rich, hearty, and seasoned to perfection. Whether you're craving a classic burger or a comforting bowl of chili, this spot delivers every time. The portions are generous, the ingredients fresh, and the flavors unforgettable. read more

Casual burger spot. There's also a drive thru option. I had the Cal Classic Cheeseburger and my friend had the chili burger and we split a side of fries. The Cal Classic was good and the pickles made for a nice crunch. The chili burger was mush and the chili was just okay. I think it would be better on a hot dog. The fries were the thick cut kind and were crispy on the outside. I liked the chilies they provided too. Seating- tables outside Parking - lot, drive thru read more

I'm regrettably writing this bad review solely because of the way I was treated by the 'manager' of this location today. I visited today for the 32oz chili special, advertised on FB and the Tommy's app, and sent through my email. I was immediately told that "we don't have that special", "we never have a chili special like that", and insisted that i show the ad. I told him that I've never had to show the ad, but would this time. Upon showing the FB ad, he said it FAKE. I offered to show the email and he declined, insisting again it was FAKE, and that it's not in the computer. I was aggravated, but never uttered a curse word or called him anything. I said I was calling the corporate office, to which he said " Do what you want to do", and slammed the ordering window screen shut. And I did call, and corporate had to fix it for that employee who should NOT be working there. First, a 'manager' should ALWAYS know what the current specials are. It's not that hard, especially when Tommy's only has a couple promotions going on at any given time. Second, a 'manager' should given the customer benefit of the doubt, and called his manager, or corporate instead of claiming I was trying to use a FAKE advertisement. Really disappointing and worse experience I've ever had there (live local). read more

Hope this reach the right person 10/16/23 930ish. Got home both orders of chilli cheese fries were undercooked. Chewy & not edible. Tried calling around 945 to see if this could be corrected but no answer. I come here all the time and always have a good experience. I'm writing this for it to be corrected not bash the spot. Help me correct this and I'll update/take down this review. Thank you. read more

I really wanted to love this place but it just wasn't that great. The meat in the burger was pretty tough and it was absolutely the messiest thing ever. The flavor overall was pretty good. The chilli cheese fries were better but I don't think they heard me when I asked for onions on top. Honestly the root beer I got was the best part of my meal. read more

Still tasty burgers , Fries , Chili , Still open late enough , Still constant price INCREASE & Still plenty parking ,

Chili Cheeseburger spot. There is not too many of them, but a now deceased brother of mine introduced me to them when I was 17. Tommy's is what you get if you took the old Carl's Jr moniker of, "if it doesn't get all over the place it doesn't belong in your face." then laughed and said, "Bet!". They use to (I'm not sure anymore) give you free extra chili. I'm talking you can get your burger thru the drive in a paper tray filled with chili cheese and they hand you a fork, 2 napkins, your fries just as loaded with chili and say "Good Luck!" You then proceed to get on the freeway attempt to no ruin your cars interiors but any cars interior in a 73.2569 ft radius. You'll also be full for 4 hours after smoking and surfing all day so there is that too. read more

Service could have been better. Asked for a burger with lettuce and tomato only and received a burger with onion and tomato. When I asked if they offered military discount they asked to view my ID then proceeded to say I need to be in uniform to receive a discount. I explained that USMC is not authorized to wear uniform out in public but my ID has the affiliation. If military discount is offered it'd be nice to include all branches. read more

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

Giving 2 stars for the service. Can't say much about the food. It's the average hamburger stand food. The chili )o: If you read the ingredients, it says chili, flour and something else. And that's exactly what it is. A thick flour paste substance with a chili color and barely a chili taste. Super thick and pasty. Have to say this place is a hype. Nothing like the Tommy's chili I remember from my childhood in LA. I'll have to go to the one in LA to see if theirs has change to this type of chili. Hope not. I think this one is trying to find the cheapest way to make chili and charge a good chili price. I don't recommend. read more

Paper thin burgers, I was shocked! You couldn't even taste the meat. Terrible. And the prices are ridiculous for what you get.

I was raised in Tommy's chili cheese fries and this place is delicious. Not many places in the SouthBay compare to the original Tommy's in the Valley. But I come here at least twice a month. Food is always perfect, never disappoints. read more

WHAT! I haven't reviewed Tommy's!! What's my deal!! I've been eating here for like 8 years... semi regularly. Haha well Tommy's is pretty good if you like really heavy chili. No beans, super dense, filling, satisfying chili. Ok, maybe you can already tell I like Tommy's. I just don't like feeling like I'm gonna have a heart attack after eating there lol. Burgers are good, dogs are good, fries are good, breakfast is good. Everything comes with chili. Ask for extra chili (free) to eat with your fries. No pickles or onions for me, but I do get some ketchup to put on whatever I'm eating since the chili is pretty salty. I don't know what else to say. Pretty standard burger stand with outstanding but heavy chili. Like scary heavy lol. I only come here once or twice a year when I'm having a really bad craving. It doesn't feel healthy to me to eat here... But it's so good. read more

Original Tommy's has always been on point! Don't sleep on the Chili-cheese dog with Fries well done!

I used UberEats to order a Tommy burger and fries for the firs time. It didn't take long to be delivered, but the burger and bun were cold and soggy with ketchup. The fries were not extra crisp as ordered. It was just a less-than- mediocre meal. I believe they took a burger and fries that was sitting around for a while and threw them in a bag. Never again! There are too many good competitors in the area. read more

Our go to whenever we are in SoCal! You can opt or opt out of chili on everything. It's no frills so we usually get it to go.

Awful. Waited in the drive-through for 20 minutes. With ONE car in front of me. They handed the car in front of me one bag only. Figured on the wait it'd be 5 bags. Ordered two chili dogs. And when I pulled to the window, waited another 5 minutes. Specified onions on the SIDE. Sho nuff my chili dog was infused with onions. Failure like crazy. Never going back. 7-11 has better service. read more

I've been to other Tommy's and this one isn't great. Chili was kinda nasty to be honest and I've been to a few of the other LA locations. Dude on the drive thru window seemed like he was on some type of substance with his demeanor and how he was acting. Long wait time at the order monitor before getting to order. Threw out like half the burger since the chili was nasty in comparison to the other tommy locations and kinda wasted my time stopping here to be honest. Had a late night craving and this was my first Tommy's visit in like 2 years and highly disappointed read more

Just spent a week in Long Beach California again. The plane landed, we took Lyft to our son's house and then I walked to Tommy's for a burger! SO GOOD! I remember when my dad took me to the very first Tommy's location in Los Angeles when I was a kid. That small restaurant that started it all. Well I have to tell you that this is still my absolute favorite place for a cheeseburger. A chili cheeseburger! Onca again the food was excellent. The outdoor (and only) seating was nice and clean. The staff were very nice and friendly. What can I say. I ate at Tommy's three times in 7 days. I cannot wait to do it again the next time I visit So Cal. read more
