    My order
    Shanoah N.

    Always a delicious chili cheese burger. Tried the Caliente hot dog. It was definitely caliente, spicier than I thought it would be. Chili cheese fries are always my absolute favorite. Chili cheese burger is always a must as well. All the me workers were super nice and helpful. This place is classic and still looks and reminds me of eating there when I was a kid.

    This shows/proves potential for each and every store.

    This particular Tommy's is special to me because it was the first time I ever had a Tommy Burger, back in 1969. It was crowded then and crowded now. Just as tasty as ever. I'm wondering how such a long-standing successful money making operation looks like a garbage dumpster? It is shocking at what a dump this place looks like. Bathrooms are always an indicator of what the owner cares about his image and customer experience. These guys obviously don't give a crap. Yet, with all that being said, the food and service are amazingly on point! A Tommy's should always be a 5 star, no excuse. Hopefully management will spend some of their gold bars on fixing this place up, one day!

    Anytime we're in town, a visit to Tommy's is a must. Chili cheese fries and burgers are always good, but my favorite is the chili cheese hot dog, That wiener has got to have a natural casing because it's got a good snap, the chili, cheese, onions, and a whole tomato on top all work in harmony. Add a bite of chili to cleanse your palate and it's all good. The staff are always quick. The location is in the hood, but that's what makes it taste better.

    Ordered through the drive thru; it was quick & they got our order correct. Their chili cheese is the best thing about this place & it's nothing special tbh. Their burger buns and meat are super dry & their patties are not snag burgers but are super thin. They upcharge so you can get a thicker meat patty 1/4 pounder Haven't come here since hs & probably won't be back unless it's super late at night & nothing else is open

    I live in Louisiana and I have to be on vacation in LA to get my fix. I left LAX and headed straight here. The burgers are excellent! Thick slices of tomato pickles onion mustard and a healthy dose of chili! The staff is right there serving food from the counter and getting it to you hot and fresh! They have plenty napkins (I used 5 or 6) and they keep the place clean. It's well lit plenty of seating. I'm gonna come back on my way home, and visit another Tommy's in Palmdale too!!!

    Chili mess and reciept

    I go two to three times a week for the specials. Today I ordered two double cheese burgers with no chili, Extra tomantoes and pickles. One chili cheese Hot Dog, light chili. What I get, heavy chili..... scrape off the chili, no onions now, no cheese. He repeated the order and said heavy chili. I said no light chili. Oh that's what I meant Ez chili.... Bull THE KID GOT EVERYWHERE. Thanks

    Hey, living in the bay has me craving Tommy's because it's not around . I went to my hometown Tommy's and it was a great moment in time, especially because I happen to go on the chili cheese fries special for 2.50. Taste was on point like Chris Paul

    UNPROFESSIONAL AT 4am

    Came to eat late at night here and was rushed and forced to wait 20 min in drive thru only for my order to be incorrect and have disrespectful service by this grown man. It is 4am I don't wanna argue or have a re cook I rather get my money and leave If you guys see this guy double check your food.

    This Tommy's is just as good as ever! I ALWAYS come here for the Classic breakfast sandwich with Chili! It's always loaded, messy, and delicious! Even though the price has increased a bit since the 2010s, it's definitely one of those classic places that's worth your Money!

    Todays drive-thru line took longer than I excepted, but nonetheless, I survived and left home a happy camper with my chili cheese fries and my raspberry ice tea. Still made it home warm enough for me to enjoy.

    Chili cheese fries w extra raw onion in the flesh...

    Been a staple for years, literally grew up on this stuff, chili cheese fries w extra onions is a personal favorite, I've heard the world famous chili can be found at Smart N Final under a different brand, I've also heard the secret ingredient is chorizo

    I love this location because it is opened 24/7. That means you have access to the best chili cheese fries in Los Angeles County. Coming in a close second is the Hat and third and fourth would be Bobo'd and Johnny's Pastrami but I digress. This chili is best eaten hot, with melted cheese and I like grilled onions. They also have pickles, banana hot peppers and ketchup. I enjoy the chili cheese hamburger as well. They have double and (I think) triple burgers but one layer is plenty for me especially since I add chili and all the fixings (onion, pickles, tomatoes). This location is pretty fast whether you walk inside or go through the drive thru. Good customer service as well. They are also reasonably priced for the portion sizes. They package the meal well, and yes I do lick the chili off of the parchment paper it's wrapped in lol. Yea, I have nothing bad to say about this place.

    cleaning equipment left out in case you need to clean up after yourself or your kids oops mess.

It would be helpful if the contact information could be updated so customers can get assistance when needed. If my Meta Ray-Ban case has been found, I would greatly appreciate a message or callback.

I ordered the signature Goldburger and decided to add pastrami! Look at that! It's sliced thin and comes across kind of like a mound of bacon, melts in your mouth along with the rest of the burger. Very interesting combination it comes highly recommended! We went with curly fries cuz we are from the Midwest and there are no Arby's out here lol but I opted to grab a side of their classic sauce, which ROCKS!

Only real downside is seating... but honestly that's kinda the deal with all their locations. You either find a spot or you're eating like you just made a life decision on the sidewalk. That said, it's still one of those spots you can just pull up to, get a good burger, and keep it moving. Next time I already know -- I gotta try the patty melt.

There is some metered street parking available and a giant lot across the street but the lot may cost $10 or more. You have to scan the QR Code to find out. Are the burgers here worth they hype? I would say yes. The meat and the buns are very high quality. The DH burgers costs a stiff $21 but it's a huge fat patty, caramelized onions, cheese, and a little sloppy with the burger sauce (but in a good way). The meat is very juicy and flavorful. It is a delicious beast. The rest of the burgers they offer are smash burgers (single for $10) and the quality of the meat and buns are excellent. That is a very good price for this burger. We tried the cheese fries, too, and they were very nice. They are ordinary looking fries with house made cheese melted throughout them. For $8, you get a huge pile of them and plenty to share. They weren't extraordinary but they were still very good. The sauce is not incredibly flavorful but I liked it well enough. You will probably wait a while after you order so settle in. There was almost no line during our visit (mid-afternoon on a Sunday) but they take their time preparing your order. For quality food such as this, I am fine with it.

It's unfortunate that there is no where to sit and that's why the fries get soggy. Let's now talk about the process. They accidentally messed my order by missing fries. Not the end of the world but in order for them to correct their mistake, I had to take all the food they put in the bag and give it back to them. That means while I waited over 25 minutes for my order, I had to wait longer for them to see what's in the bag to see the mistake. Who is to say that if I was crooked, I would simply remove the fries from the bag. What this ultimately means is that now my family is eating colder food. I didn't even bother for the fries anymore since I didn't want to either have my food get colder or wait another 20 minutes for them to remake all the food. I simply wouldn't go back. I do hope they stay around because we are losing small business but the owners should really reconsider the policy for missing food.
