Clean, well lit with drive through. Consistently good food. Can't go wrong with chili burger, fries, and a drink. Fries are slightly crispy on the outside. Chili is great! Service is spot on. Open late so it's a great place when you are craving a little something to tide you over. read more

I normally don't eat at Tommy's. I used to as a kid, but my family went so often that I quickly got tired of it. Still, I decided to give it another chance around 8 PM yesterday since my family was visiting LA and this was their choice. That turned out to be a big mistake. The experience started off poorly at the register. Since I'm not familiar with their menu or promotions, I asked a simple question about a deal my mom mentioned to confirm whether it was valid that day. The cashier immediately snapped and told me to "either speak up or have your driver talk for you." It was unnecessarily rude and caught me completely off guard, especially because I was already speaking clearly imo. When my boyfriend tried to ask the same question, she didn't even answer it. Just repeated a price, which wasn't helpful at all. At that point, we gave up and just ordered. Even then, the ordering process continued to be frustrating. She repeatedly got our order wrong when reading it back, and we had to correct her multiple times. The whole interaction felt rushed and unnecessarily tense. Better customer service training would really go a long way here. Then came the food. I ordered chili cheese fries, and at first, I thought maybe this visit would redeem itself. They tasted decent, which I appreciated because I was hungry. But halfway through, I started getting sharp stomach pains and had to stop eating immediately. I gave the rest to my boyfriend (who thankfully didn't get sick), but I ended up with a pretty bad stomach ache and we had to go home, smh. So the one time I decide to give this place another chance, I get rude service and feel sick afterward. Between the attitude at the register and the food making me feel unwell, this experience was frustrating from start to finish. I do understand why people feel nostalgic about this place since my own family has been coming here for years but unfortunately, I will not be returning. read more

If you want the best chili burgers in LA County make sure to stop at one of the Original restaurants. We ordered a #1 combo double cheeseburger with chili cheese fries and requested the burger to be cut in half. It was served extra sloppy with additional chili and it was delicious as always. The shared combo was more than enough to satisfy our midnight munchies. read more

Original Tommy's - Midnight munchies MAY2026 - Burgers Near Me - Los Angeles, California

This place is unbelievable. This place is never open on time in the mornings. I went again this morning on the way to work and sat at the drive through for 15 minutes. This was shortly after 7 am. Which is the time they are supposed to be open. Finally and employee comes out and says no not open nothing is ready. This is not the first time. I've been coming to this location for over 30yrs. And it's sadly declining. If they can't be open on time. Don't bother being open at all. read more

I had this food delivered and the order error is no fault of the driver but of the restaurant. All of my food was ordered WITHOUT onions. What does the restaurant do? Douse my chili cheese fries with onions. I detest onions except in very limited circumstances - this was not one of these circumstances. Tommy's ruined a beautiful pairing of food by having me go without my fries. I know what you're thinking, just remove the onions. Can't do that because onions leave behind their flavor on whatever they touch. Now that I've complained enough about my fries, onto the other items. My burger was tasty but it was a mess, it definitely wasn't prepared with care. The entire burger fell apart but you betcha I ate every last bite after my fry disappointment. Since I was having this delivered, I needed a certain order total to use a promo code so I got a chili hotdog. I never tried this item before and I was surprised at how good this was. When I think Tommy's, a burger immediately comes to mind but this is a definite must try item, guys. The pairing of the chili with pickles and a tomato on a crunchy dog was . We all know this is "trash" food and as far from healthy as you can get but it's oh so yummy, especially when they don't eff up your fries. This will satisfy a comfort food craving, but I would probably recommend picking up your order to ensure the workers understand your order. I've been to this location and can assure you street parking is easy to find. read more

A great place to go for late night eats. I like that they are open until 2 am on weekdays and 3 am on weekends. They regularly have specials that you can find if you subscribe by email. Service is fair however it appears they might be short staff at times. Parking is easy and they also have a drive thru if you prefer not to wait. read more

Fast friendly window service. The fries were the best fast food joint fries I've had in years! So crispy on the outside and soft and pillowy on the inside! Yum! I ate it right there at the side tables, so everything was hot! Stuff may not be good for me but damn, it's so good! read more

I like to go here when I'm on my way home late nights. A few years ago, most of the Tommy's had a dip in service and quality. But over the past year this one, in Eaglerock, has been great! For now this is the only one that I've been going to. In the past I'd hit multiple locations. But when the service and quality went bad, I stopped. But the Eaglerock again, has been excellent. Also, all of the order takers at this location have been pleasant and professional. "May" has been the person that usually takes my order, and she is excellent! So I just hope they keep up the good work. Because when Tommy's does it right, they have some of the best burgers, hot dogs, and fries in California. So keep up the good work! read more

Original Tommy's - This is a burger with extra chili what a joke - Burgers Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Oh Tommy's, how I love you so--but as I've gotten older, my stomach seems to like you less and less! Nowhere is it more fun to grab a late night bite of hot, cheesy chili cheese fries and a messy chili cheeseburger than this decidedly un-fancy, non-pretentious burger stand on Colorado Blvd. in Eagle Rock. This is a place that knows what they're good at--their food--and doesn't put too much effort into things like ambience, overly friendly service, or amenities. You know that things are about to get messy when your meal comes with a small stack of paper towels! My favorite dish here since childhood has been their one-of-a-kind chili cheese fries, featuring thick-cut fries, a ladle full of slightly spicy no-bean chili, and a slice of American cheese served in a little boat in a cardboard box. The nostalgic taste, coupled with just the right amount of heat from the chili, the cheesiness, and a little messiness can't be beat. Their breakfast burrito featuring chili and a crispy hash brown are an unexpected surprise as well. Lately, they've upped their social media game and now offer periodic coupons/special offers on their IG and Facebook pages, so follow them for sporadic special offers--many of which are a great opportunity for a cheap and delicious meal! Tommy's accepts credit card and Apple Pay as well for your convenience! So overall: -The Good: Affordable, delicious food. Just a little messy, probably just a little unhealthy, but their chili game is strong here! -The Bad: Lines can be long and parking spots are hard to come by here! -The Ugly: No healthy options to be found here. Bring a Tums or some Pepto Bismol if you've got a sensitive stomach. You have been warned :) read more

Original Tommy's - Chili Cheeseburger! So messy but oh so good! - Burgers Near Me - Los Angeles, California

I have to make this stop while I'm in California.. so far only unique to So Cal. The taste has so far been always what I remember, warm chili on two hot hamburger patties with a thick juicy slice of tomato, sprinkled with onions. The Eagle rock one I went last night had a drive through, the service was fast and good , I was given extra yellow peppers. Even though this is a new location to me the ambiance is very similar to the original location with the red roof. read more

Tommy's Burgers... 1st visit! (6/6/21) * I have heard of Tommy's and driven by a few Tommy's locations over a lifetime of living in Southern California, yet I had never been. I finally made my first visit! I got the Caliente Burger. It has the perfect amount of spice! They give you a lot of food! If I ever go back, it will be for chili cheese fries. I would also like to try out their cones. * They weren't horribly busy during my visit and it took them some time to prepare both my friend's and my order. So, be prepared to have that as a possibility for you as well. There is a dining patio to the left and another one to the right... Pretty tidy too. read more

BAND AID IN MY FOOD. June 2, 2023 at about 5:30 PM I ordered 3 double chili burgers and 2 chili fries. I made sure to tell the cashier to not add cheese on everything. I have stomach issues when it comes to dairy so it was important that they get it right. She repeated the order and it was correct. I went home and saw that there was cheese on the chili fries and I was disappointed to see that since I live a couple miles away and the traffic is terrible around that time. I decided it wasn't worth the drive to go back there and ask them to replace it. I just decided to eat some of the fries underneath the chili since it would be a waste just to toss it. I would've been fine with just that, HOWEVER, there was a LITERAL USED BANDAID on the bottom of the fries. This was unbelievably disgusting and UNSANITARY. We literally had to drive back to this location and ask for our money back. We talked to the manager and she gave us our money back, but she took the receipt and just threw the food away in the trash. It seemed like she just wanted to refund the money back quickly and deal with the other customers since it was busy day. Seems like there were no repercussions to the workers who made my food and it really makes me question their cleanliness/health standards. We complained, asked if they prepare all their food with gloves and they just looked at us with a blank stare, didn't say anything. Like I said, I ate some of the fries and since there was a bandaid in there I do not know if I'll get sick now or contract some kind of disease. This is not what I expected from a food business that has been serving customers for years. Do NOT eat at this location unless you want a surprise BANDAID in your food. I legit have never written a review for any business. Unfortunately, my first review on yelp is for Tommys. Seeing the BANDAID made me feel so unbelievably disgusted and I think you understand why I give this place such a terrible review. I'd give 0 stars if I could. Update June 3, 2023. After posting the bandaid I found on my instagram story and tagging originaltommys, they decided that blocking me was the best course of action. Instead of apologizing or making things right, that's how they decided to handle the situation. Looking back, it seemed like the manager at the eagle rock location did not want to make a big deal out of it since there were a bunch of customers that were waiting in the drive thru. They should have been grateful that we did not cause a commotion, as we tried to keep it professional. If we had gone around showing every single customer what we found in our food, I'm sure they would be just as disgusted as I was from the sight of the used bandaid. It's clear that they lack proper food safety measures and it begs the question of what other sanitary issues are happening while food is being prepared. Gloves are clearly not used when preparing food. If gloves were used, then this situation could have been easily avoided. Proper food safety/handling should be of the utmost importance when preparing food. People should not have to worry about getting sick due to foreign objects being mixed in with food. It's utterly disappointing to know that a company that prides themselves in serving the community for countless of years is not treating their customers with common decency. I would have returned to their other locations as a valued customer if the originaltommys apologized/alleviated my situation, however it seems that by blocking me, they do not want to deal with me. read more

The bun says it all. It was stale and cracked. Please see the pic I posted. I paid about $18 for this "lettuce" cali burger that had half a pound of meat, no drink and chili cheese fries. Regardless of how much meat they put, there's no flavor to the meat. The buns were so stale I just took it off and ate it with a fork. Basically had a salad. Everyone laughed at my lettuce "burger" that was actually a salad with croutons in disguise. I wanted to give Tommy's a chance again years after my first horrible experience and I did and I'm glad because now I know to never come back. The service was super friendly though and I liked how much parking and tables with proper lighting they had. Chili cheese fries were warm which is why I gave it 2 stars but it only tasted like chili, you could just get chili and have the same experience. With all the new smash burger places serving flavorful meat that's properly seasoned and never frozen, there's no reason to come to Tommy's anymore unless you want to pay much more for a horrible "burger" and go home unsatisfied. read more
