It's the @light_skin_dragon. Coming to you with some fiery chilling combination! Well it wasn't spicy I'm coming to you to talk about some chili place haha. The food is good but a bit pricey. During my first week. I came here for lunch on my break from school with my classmate which is my friend Dre. The service was quick and fast. Wasn't to many people in the restaurant around 11:30am. The place is casual so nothing fancy and overall good if you wanted something quick. I had water on the side. Been drinking plenty of water since my fast in January which helped cleared the chilly faster as well I ordered some shills fries and a hash brown. That hash brown was pricy and not the best I ever had for 3 bucks read more

Another LA staple , if my family and is craving some fast food it's either in n out or Tommy's. It just really depends on how we are feeling. The service is always kind and friendly and the place is always usually clean especially for a fast food place . It's probably not the healthiest but it sure does taste good. A nice cheat meal that hits the spot for fast food craving. I always get the chili fries with the fries well done. The food honestly isn't the most aesthetic but that's not the vibe here. Just typing this review makes me want to go back. Great bang for buck food I'd say especially when they have deals going on. read more

A lot of 5 stars for taste of nostalgia. Sorry I disagree, 3 stars for thee. I hope they improve the flavor. It's just a burger with textured soy protein "chili" in it. The patty wasn't seasoned (no salt) and the chili is really plain, no flavor is what I'm saying. Wendy's and Wienerschnitzel chilis have more flavor no doubt. I got it at $4 during their promo, and even then I don't know whether I would want it again. $16 for a combo and $18 for a burger, drink, and fries is really pushing it for this kind of fast food. Chili's and Applebee's offer a better value, even taking it to-go. Don't get me wrong, I get up eating a lot of these; from Rick's to Jim's to The Hat, I'd love a good greasy spoon because it's tasty, greasy, and indulgent. This place is just greasy sadly. I don't get the "it's so good, I don't care how many calories or saturated fat this has" feeling here. Service is quick and dining area is clean though. I like the white tile design indoor, reminds me of a simple In-n-Out read more

With the expansion of the restaurants, you no longer need to go to Beverly & Rampart to get your fix. I ordered 2 chili cheese dogs, fries and a drink. The food was great, as usual. The Monrovia store was very clean, both inside and out. The service was fast and friendly. read more

I've tried many chili cheeseburgers at greasy spoon restaurants and no one beats Tommy's. I was in the area and craving a burger so I stopped by and ordered a number 1 combo which included a double chili cheeseburger, fries, and a fountain drink. The cashier talked me into upgrading the fries to chili cheese fries for a low price. As always the food was delicious and dripping with chili. read more

Original Tommy's - Stay Thirsty JUL2025 - Burgers Near Me - Monrovia, California

Famished from a hike, i thought I'd give em a try from all the great reviews on Google. The restroom was pristine and order was easy/customizable just like other reviewers said! Stoked to try my first ever Original Tommy's meal, I went all in and ordered their double chzburger and chili cheese fries: well done fries, extra chili, extra pickles, side of ranch, side of yellow peppers. The two items came out to be $15.77 with tax which is totally reasonable but i would've paid an extra buck or two for some higher quality ingredients. From the first bite to the last, i kept looking for the flavor. Bland and tasteless, the food was a real let down. For being a lasting chain and the chili looking so luscious, I felt mislead and disappointed. Though they didn't look happy, the service was fairly friendly so i appreciated that as a first timer. read more

haven't tried Tommy's in years so I thought I might give it a try, but I was disappointed, it was way too thick, and it didn't wow me My caregiver had a chili cheeseburger and it had no bun. Sorry, but I think I'd rather have T-Burgers or Derweenie. read more

This was my first breakfast at Tommy's. I got the breakfast egg and sausage sandwich with tomato, onion, pickles and chili. It was so delicious. The food was hot, and made right on the spot. The restaurant was super clean and the wait staff were very friendly. I haven't been here before, it was a delightful morning, the sun filled the 50's style restaurant and reminded me of a simpler time in the world. I loved coming in for this visit. I'll have to come back soon! read more

The price is outrageous, that's why I don't come here anymore it's not worth it. The # 1 combo is almost $20 are you kidding me! No wonder why I don't see customers here. read more

Food is always fantastic. There service is always killing it with the extra pickles and mustard. We always hit the drive thru though so I'm not familiar with the inside ambiance. Probably Tip: add extra chili to the burger to sweep up with the fries instead of ordering a whole side of chili fries. read more

Driving around today and was passing by all these potential lunch spots. Out of the corner of my eye... I pinged this Tommy's and swerved in. I didn't know how badly I needed Tommy's chili today. This location was spotless and the staff was friendly and fast. Plenty of patrons already there when I arrived and a few more poured in during. Ordered the double with chili cheese fries. The fries were so perfect. I mean perfect. I ate those first. Too fast actually. Wanted them to be magically bottomless. No such luck. Reluctantly moved on to the burger. The onion and tomato were that brightness in flavor that contrasted the chili. Oh the mustard. Can't forget the mustard. Hit the spot!! read more

The workers here are really friendly. It's my first time here and she helped me with my order and suggested the yellow peppers. I ordered the double cheeseburger with chili meal, upgraded to well done chili cheese fries. I added extra tomato, mustard, and the yellow peppers on the side. I would order extra pickles instead as you need the acid. It tastes exactly as you think it's going to taste. Mild chili, there's not a lot of spices or flavor in my opinion. This is the seling point as it's on every menu item, but the chili overwhelms the flavor of anything else and I didn't think it tasted very good to be the highlight of the chain. The chili cheese fries was the chili with a slice of cheese on fries. I wish it was shredded cheese and onions. I did find the yellow peppers and mustard added flavor to my meal. It's probably a better option to try the chili dog instead, but I wouldn't get the meal I had again. read more

Strange story, but I had the worst sore throat and I could barely eat due to the intense pain. I was resultantly very hungry and thought for some reason that some soft chili fries would do the trick, and boy, was I right. The pepperoncinis on the side were extremely spicy and acidic and the meal soothed my throat. It was nothing short of miraculous. In a world where food only gets more expensive and comes in smaller portions at the same time, Tommy's hooked it up. You could eat their chili with a fork and none of it would spill. It is so damn thick and savory, and the portions were huge. Thank you to the team at Tommy's for that surprisingly healing experience! read more

I come for the chili cheese fries, onion rings, zucchini, cheeseburgers, fish sandwich, and hardshell tacos. They have a great thousand island dressing. There's all you can eat little carrots and jalapeños if you're crazy like that too. You can get something to eat for less than 10 bucks 10/2025). read more

It has been YEARS since I had Tommy's! I used to go consistently when I was working in DTLA and our director would take us there for a yummy team lunch, resulting us coming back to the office with food coma. BF had a hankering for some Tommy's, which we both haven't had in a long while, so we drove to our nearest one in Monrovia. I still remember food OD'ing with both the chili burger and the chili fries so I was hesitant to order the same again, but BF convinced me that we got this. So we ordered a chili cheeseburger ($4.45 with no pickles), double chili cheeseburger ($5.70 with no pickles, no mustard, and extra onions), and chili fries ($5.30). We both love that there was a graphic at the register of what's in a typical burger so you can quickly and easily modify your order. Food was out in a reasonable amount of time and we enjoyed it back home. While we would've loved to have more chili on the fries and we remembered the burgers bursting with chili back then (maybe it's less due to costs nowadays), it still hit the spot. We weren't too food comatose afterwards, so that's a plus (or minus if you think of it on the other side of the coin). We're eyeing their breakfast burrito (available all day and comes with chili) and their breakfast sandwich next! They have their own parking lot, so it's not too hard to get a spot. Decent amount of seating indoors too. read more

Came to Tommy's for the first time last week and ordered a double chile cheeseburger, chile cheese fries and a soda. I thought it was quite expensive as it costed $18. My order took a very long time too. The person who ordered after I did got my order before me. I think I waited around 15-20 minutes for my food which is quite a long time for fast food. However, when I got my order, one of the employees apologized to me for the long wait and threw an order of regular fries for me which was nice of him. The fries were really crispy and fresh. The chile cheese fries were ok. The chile was good but they didn't put that much cheese. I think after like two bites I didn't see any cheese left. I really liked the burger. It was juicy and the chile was good, just like the chile from the fries. Despite it costed more than expected and the long wait, I will probably come back again for their burgers and fries! read more

Tommy's Monrovia is always a disappointment. Every three or four months I get a hankering for a chili dog and a chili burger. I grew up close to the Tommy's in Eagle Rock and grew accustomed to FAST AFFORDABLE AND good friendly service...Not so at the Monrovia Tommy's. AGAIN yesterday the chili dogs arrived home literally cold after only five minutes in the car and the window person might as well have been a robot..dont' know if male or female as the individual did not show its face and the voice was barely audible as it announced the outrageous price for two hot dogs and a burger..Not a thank you from said faceless person..In the future I will return to Tommy's Eagle Rock for good food and service.. read more

Fresh and hot but chili needs improvement. Service was friendly, alert and active. It was filling. I had a double cheeseburger

The food here is very tasty, rich, salty, and greasy. And that's obviously the whole point! Service is always prompt and friendly and the ambience has a classic California 50s vibe. We love Tommy's because it's one of those institutions that gives California a unique character. I really like their regular cheeseburger when I'm not in the mood for chili. But, oh boy,you do have to taste their chili cheese fries: they are bar none the best of any fast food chain by far! read more

This was my first visit to Tommy's burger. It has been my partner's favorite burger spot for decades and finally I got to see what he's been talking about. The hamburger is delicious with tons of chili and cheese, pickles, and onions on a toasted bun. The chili cheese fries are steaming hot with lots of chili and cheese. absolutely delicious. Our bill was about $16 with tax and we were both stuffed. Highly recommended. read more

Tommy's! Old fast food & iconic favorite. Can't go wrong if you love chili fries. If you're hungry get a burger combo. Simple menu because that's really all you need. Chili cheeseburger, chili cheese fries, & a cherry Pepsi make up the best combo in my opinion. I hear the chili dog is great but I've never had. Feel free to try & share your experience. All I know is that when I want chili fries, this is my go to. Happy they have expanded & I don't have to drive to the original location in Echo Park, downtown LA adjacent. The original place gets busy during Dodger season, just so you are aware. This place has a parking lot & a drive through woohooo!! If you're headed home & stuck in traffic & need a break, chili fries to the rescue ! Lol read more

Beware of overcharging. We ordered the Tommy's triple play deal. They double tax us. The crew leader even acknowledged we were correct with the double tax but cannot override it. He said to take my issue with corporate. Also I asked for a receipt and they said that their printer was down all day. Not acceptable!! read more

The moment I saw gen z behind the counter i knew I should have walked back out. Against my better judgment I dined in because I love Tommy's but this was the worst location I've been to. Gen z is going to slowly destroy the food service industry. They always seem to get orders wrong, always seem to be in a bad mood and look like everyday is their first day on the job. read more

Not as good as In-N-Out, Culver's or Shake Shack, but the chili sauce is really delicious. I tried the Caliente burger $5.50, double cheeseburger $4.95, and fries $2.90. I loved all of the chilies on the caliente burger. It comes suped smashed ans mostly I could taste the chilis and the chili. Ok The double cheeseburger was better than the Caliente burger. The chili sauce is everywhere, but other than that a regular burger. This one also comes super smashed. The best item I tried was the fries. They come super thick and salty! Loved them! I'd come back just to get fries! read more

On a Saturday late afternoon in May, I drove to Monrovia Tommy's for a drive thru from San Gabriel. I was sad of the Pasadena location was closed. The closest one is Monrovia or El Monte. Anyways, I seen the Facebook posting of the anniversary burger meal $4.76 which was cheap. The cashier was nice and seem to being trained. It took 25 min to get home and the burger was still yummy. The fries was nicely fried. read more

Best chili burgers anywhere. There is no better burger than the original Tommy's! Delicious and reasonably priced.

I haven't eaten at a Tommy's in yearsss, I used to eat their chili fries before it started to give me heartburn. lol However a friend of mine mentioned their soft served cone and I feel this treat itself deserves a shoutout! I visited recently on a Sunday afternoon and there was no other customers inside. The soft serve cone is only $1.75 and it's definitely sharable! It's tall, creamy, and not too sweet. Hey dairy has calcium and good for the bones right? Now I need to eat one from McD and compare it side by side. But I think Tommy's might be a bit better! A great summer treat! read more

Good Tommys here, bring back good memories, although I didn't eat here much back in the days of living here. Anyways we stopped here at the drive thru to pic up something on the way home. I have eaten inside here many times which is fun. Like the Cheeseburger I had with chilli. But no chili on the fries this time. So it was all good. They didn't mess up on our orders. So it was a good experience. read more

Picked up food 2 previous times with no problem. Smooth experience. This time though I opened the bag to discover several ants crawling on the food. I quickly checked the surrounding area of my kitchen where I opened the bag. No ants. Hopefully this Tommy's will remedy the problem. read more

Food was good, they got my order right and the service was friendly. Place was clean. My order was ready on time.

This is tommys is way superior than the El Monte location. The Chilli is always hot , unlike El Monte.

The chili was watered down today. Had no taste or substance. Very disappointed because the biggest draw, normally, is the chili.
