I remember liking Tommy's years ago, but I guess I really didn't have a sophisticated palate back in the day. This review is for the chili fries in particular. The fries were cooked perfectly and crunchy but the chili is what the problem is. A good chili has to be a flavorful and delicious chili. Tommy's chili is not flavorful, it's on the bland side. It's not a bad tasting chili, but it needs to be so delicious that I have to keep coming back for more. And when you layer that over their burgers, it's really no big deal. I've had much better chili fries around town and this is not the place to get chili fries at all- in my humble opinion. read more

I was in the mood for some chili cheese fries and a co-worker recommended this place to me. Close by so I gave it a shot. Nice fries. Wasn't blown away by anything in particular. But I'll return for tha breakfast chili burrito. read more

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

The old chile recipe seasoned perfectly and without beans. Good to go there every 30 days. All food is good. Getting somewhat higher pricy. Extra chile and tomatoes, onions, ect. Free add ons. I recommend. Get lots of napkins. read more

Always great!!! Best chili in town!! Of coarse the the OG Tommy's in LA is always best but Long Beach is close so had to get my fix!

Excellent place and great service. I love the chili here and the drive thru is quick. This place is better than Mc Donald's. I highly recommend coming here. read more

I've never had chili for breakfast. It was messy but satisfied some macho "I eat what I want, when I want" craving. My normal morning hipster smoothie just wasn't filling. I enjoyed the pickles, tomato & chili but next time might hold on the onions for breakfast. read more

The best chili everything!! Fans for many years, Hubby and I came back to Cali and this was our first food stop!

just left there 30 minutes ago and they forgot to give me my chili cheese fries, literally what I went for. very upsetting

Havent been here in soooo long. Was super excited. Well that ended quickly. I paid $13 for a meal... came home to find they put cheese on my hamburger (lady even said, do you want cheese. I answered no) but a couple bites in noticed my meat on my burger......... flush pink. I will not be returning. So grossed out!! read more

Original Tommy's - Not cooked patty! - Burgers Near Me - Long Beach, California

The workers were really nice, but this review is strictly for the food. Since almost everyone gets the food to go I think it might be better if they pack the chili separately. We ordered a chili dog, a chili burger, and chili fries. But all of them were completely soggy and unappetizing by the time we got home. If the chili were in a separate container, the food would still be fresh and we could have just poured the chili on top. I really think this would make a huge difference! read more

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

My Favourite to go place for late night meals. Highly recommend the chilli burger if you want to try out something different from the regular cheeseburgers read more

Yummy! I like their chili cheese burgers more than the ones they have at Weinerschnizel. Their quality of chili is better. I recommend that if you get the fries with it, to just get plain fries. The chili in the burger is soo much that it'll spill all over. The extra chili and cheese that falls off can go with your fries. You can save a few bucks. read more

Original Tommy's - Chili cheeseburgers and fries - Burgers Near Me - Long Beach, California

Going between work site locations, I've went by Tommy's more times that I can remember. But thanks to a coworker, I finally did today. No inside dining but that's ok. It was nice out but I don't know how it would be if the weather wasn't so. That would be a downfall. Limited selection for me is great. I just ordered a combo with everything on it but no chili cheese fries. Just thinking about it I could feel my arteries clogging. Anyway - the prices were decent and the food was ok. I had the cheeseburger and it was a little well done for my taste though all the extra toppings made up for it. The fries were clean cut and freshly made and I can now say I've been to Tommy's. read more

I honestly Feel like this place in the early morning or when it opens, really doesn't care about their business. how you going tell me and give me attitude two my debit card don't work but yet I keep offering to give you cash, don't give me ur bad attitude because you decide to work at fast food restaurant, just make the process easier and don't like act like your restaurant is a 3rd world country. read more

If you have not been to Tommy's I need you to stop what you're doing and get your butt over there right now. This place is a Southern California staple. Every time I come home to California for a visit I always have to get Tommy's. The chili is to die for, my favorite is the chili cheeseburger and the chili cheese fries! You HAVE to get the chili cheese fries, omg they are phenomenal. It's a really small little burger stand with a couple tables outside but get this, now they deliver! This time I got it delivered and it was still bangin. I crave Tommy's alllllll the and after you try it you will too. Careful because this place is addicting. read more

The food was excellent and so was the service, however, as we were leaving, the female cashier and male cook, were making rude comments about my boyfriend and l, we're a gay couple. He has a disability. l am 100% proficient in Spanish. I understood everything they said. Not cool. That put a damper on things. My boyfriend was very uncomfortable by their behavior. I didn't want to cause a scene because he would get upset. I will never come back, but l am sure he will since he likes the food and lives nearby. Hope he get treated with the respect he deserves. Owner, you reading this? read more

The chili cheeseburger is really yummy. My parents took me here since I was a kid. What I didn't know was how amazing their vanilla ice cream is. Next best thing to foster freeze. People who work here are always nice. read more

As always chili cheese burger and chili cheese fries with lemonade. Not too much to say service is good food is good.

I have been eating Tommy's in Hollywood since I was a teenager. I started eating at the Long Beach Tommy's 25 years ago and I recently tried it and it was everything. Tommy's make the perfect chili cheese burger. I plan to go back today. Keep up the good work Tommy's! read more

I've been coming here since I was a kid. Since it was mcnarys. I have never got a burger here. I get the hot dog with cheese mustard pickles onion tomato. No chili. I get chili cheese fries though. read more

Made a quick stop here because dear husband wanted to try there burger. The burgers were very disappointing. Soggy buns and the chilly cheese fries were stale. Never coming back again. read more

Damn ya'll, what happened? We saw a billboard for Tommy's and we're like that's for dinner! My husband went to go pick it up after I ordered for takeout on Yelp, and the service was horrible when he got there. Why can't we all be nice to each other? :( The food wasn't good either. The burgers were cold, the buns were cold, the chili cheese fries looked like a blob of doo doo and they were cold. Stop being cold ya'll! read more

This spot is not like the original Tommy's on Rampart/Beverly. Not much I can say that hasn't been said: -poor quality of meat -soggy buns -greasy, can tasting chili -fries undercooked some overcooked in same batch We won't be back. We'll make the trip to Rampart/Beverly! read more

Tommy Chile Burgers Are The Best! Plus they put a Giant Slice of Tomato on it and Pickens. You can't find a better Chile Burger! I highly recommend Tommy's read more

This is the spot to go for a Tommy's original chili fries. I only come here now when I want to go to Tommy's since I live in Lakewood. I use to go to to the Norwalk location but man that location is horrible! The service sucks there and they screw up your order every time. The chili fries there is small as well. Here in Long Beach is the complete opposite. Service and portions on point. Check out these pictures of the chili fries in Norwalk compared to here in Long Beach. read more

well not like the ones I ate few years back, I wonder if it's different compared to the downtown location..

A fabulous cheat meal, fast food, guilty pleasure, what have you. I mean you will feel bloated after eating here, so if that's not appealing to you then just stick with Micky Ds. However, this burger is pretty awesome. I like a little spice with mine so go for the caliente burger! The fries are a great combination with this tasty burger. But the real attraction here is the chili. Absolutely legendary chili. Nutritious? Eh probably not so much. But beyond delicious! Slather it on the burger, on the fries, Get extra on the side, go to town with their chili! If the burger was not so good then the chili alone might be enough to make this a five star place, but luckily the burger is very good and this is a superlative fast food joint with standout ingredient! read more

No stars if I could put one up.. the manager is rude ! The workers don't help i was standing in line for 10 mins and no one attended me with no one in line or no one at drive thru... very unprofessional and seemed from a different culture who don't know about customer service, they should not be working at tommys or any other food service ... these people make the business terrible! I WILL NEVER RETURN TO THE TOMMYS IN LONG BEACH!! read more

Unsatisfied with the chili on my visit last night. Chili overload resulted a deception as it was very goo'e and did not taste fresh what so ever. Ordered multiple items like the chili cheese burger, chili cheese dog, and chili cheese fries all mediocre because of the chili. Not a huge fan of tommy's as is, but after this occasion I probably am beat off with even Weinersnitzel, or of course The Hat. The attention by staff was pleasant. read more

Bruh wtf, their chili cheese dogs are horrible now. The glizzy was horrible, it wasn't even straight up cooked all the way. I almost threw up. Don't go to this Tommy's anymore, it seemed like over the years the quality of their chili has gotten worse. read more

Thank goodness for the internet and finding places open late when you're passing through an unfamiliar area. I really wanted Mexican food but this was the perfect reward after a week of clean eating. I got a cheeseburger with no pickles and after the first bite I wish I would've upgraded my patty! read more

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

Came here after the bars. If you got a DD that doesn't mind making a drive here and waiting for your orders, then you're all set. I don't remember what the food tastes like but I can tell you it was exactly what we needed then. We didn't have to wait in a line that late at night, from what little I remember. The service was nice, I think. And the food was dank, probably. read more

Been going to Tommy's for over 50 years. I ate here yesterday and had a cheeseburger besides 3 additional burgers for others. I have always enjoyed there food but not these cheeseburgers. The buns were hard and dry and the meat patties were also hard and over cooked plus they skimped on the chili. Tasted like they had been sitting there for a while. I have come here before and never had this happen. The food always tasted fresh and good. Don't know if it was an off day. Guess I'll never know as I will not be returning to this location. PS: Should be ONE STAR! read more

I may have been to the original Tommy's location in LA on Rampart & Beverly, but it's been so long I can't remember. A month ago I was watching Diners, Drive-In's & Dives and they went to that location. Seeing that show gave me "the bug" to go get some, so I looked for a closer location and found this one. https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/tommys-original-world-famous-hamburgers-long-beach?select=7PmJAmquHIOhzkgB_o9s1g FYI... all 33 "Tommy's Original World Famous" locations are family owned, not franchises. SERVICE: Order, pay and pick up at the window when they call your number. My orders were ready in 10 minutes or less. Staff was nice enough. FOOD: Items I tried between two different visits were: Chili fries w/onions ($3.95) Very good! Good balance between fries & chili (I OD'd on their chili during my 2nd visit, LOL) https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/tommys-original-world-famous-hamburgers-long-beach?select=4NK1ixBrNmhN_iNjwOU9Qw Chili cheese burger ($3.10) Good and a bit messy (as with anything served here). https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/tommys-original-world-famous-hamburgers-long-beach?select=cHLSsGy75V6GzyZQZpzecQ Box the burger is served in. https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/tommys-original-world-famous-hamburgers-long-beach?select=QYCwMc_EaOpgck0QYsnsVg Chili dog ($3.45) LOTS of chili (since it wasn't to-go) with onion, pickles & a whole slice of tomato on top. Cheese is 50 cents extra. The hot dog was down in there somewhere, LOL. I won't order this again, didn't like the flavor of the hot dog once I found it. https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/tommys-original-world-famous-hamburgers-long-beach?select=d9s96WDenKDCQNj8tu2cmQ Chili boat ($3.25) Nothing but Tommy's chili (onion, pickles and a tomato slice on top if you say "yes" to everything). Great if you love their chili and I think it's really good! I ordered this and the chili dog in one order - - TOO much chili at one time! I OD'd on their chili that day! https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/tommys-original-world-famous-hamburgers-long-beach?select=tAyKM0fyiASV8NYYf0i2sw As served when you eat there. https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/tommys-original-world-famous-hamburgers-long-beach?select=l7gGoC5tHexNHbYGvVk3Ww OVERALL: Really good chili in my opinion and it's on just about everything. Even though they have some tables out front, the majority order to-go. Good burger & chili fries, only because of their delicious chili. I'll have to try the chili tamale next time! read more

Tommy's is classic, been there my whole life. Makes me think of summer, my dad taking to get a chili dog and fries. The recipe hasn't changed and I think it's absolutely delicious. read more

Always quality and consistent. One of the best Tommy's locations. Ideal on cold day, chili

Fantastic as always. Drive thru moves quickly and the food is always hot and fresh. Employees are always on point and get you in and out quickly. Easy to reach location is a plus. read more

Came here on a late night. Wasn't too busy. Fast service. Now for the food.. I ordered chili cheese fries and a triple cheeseburger with everything on it minus pickles. The chili they use was bland. Had zero taste to it. The burger was pretty good only because it had a good amount of cheese. Would come here again but get regular fries and no chili in my burger. read more

Double check your order before you leave this place. Attention to detail is not a priority for this Tommy's. The drive thru cashier was counting my change while taking the order of the car behind me. I appreciate the multitasking but get the order right. I ordered 2 chili cheese dogs no pickles. Of course they gave me loads of pickles. My mistake was not checking before driving away. read more
