Memories. Nostalgia. Original Tommy's Chili cheese fries were tasty yummy and delicious. Competition is fierce in the fast-food burger world. If you like the Original Tommy's chili then a Tommy's burger will pull hard on your heart strings. But if you don't like it, then an Original Tommy's burger and fries loses all its luster and glamour. This type of burger is an acquired taste. Personally, I still love it. Jordan read more

Original Tommy's - Fast Food Near Me - Norwalk, California

This was my first time eating at a Original Tommy's. A few weeks ago I went to their Long Beach location and found that location had no indoor eating. I came across the Norwalk location which does have indoor eating so I thought I would give it a try. On the plus side this establishment has Pepsi available. The Burger and Fries were satisfactory. I requested the burger with an extra patty with cheese only, no other condiments and no chili and they honoured that... good. However the burger patties were thin instead of non-thin. The inside was on the warm side when I entered. I asked one of the staff to please crank up the air conditioning and the inside eventually cooled down a little. The washroom situation sucks. No, the washroom situation double sucks. Actually THE WASHROOM SITUATION TRIPLE SUCKS!!!!!!!!!! There were no paper towels in the men's washroom. Normally that would result in me dinging this establishment one point. However a key was required for access to the washroom. My policy in this situation is to automatically award the lowest score possible, no ifs ands and buts about it., no questions asked. Furthermore I had to go outside to get to the washroom. I'm glad I tried Original Tommy's but I think once is enough. If I was to assign a letter grade as is done in school this establishment would get an F. read more

Tommy Koulax is turning over in his grave right now. I grew up on Tommy's, mostly in the valley and the original on Rampart. There aren't any near me so when I happen to pass by one I get an instant craving. Happened to see there is one here in Norwalk which is kinda on the path to and from work. Never, ever, again. I should have walked out on first impression. Store was not clean, someone's trash at the order counter, all the employees in the back, nobody up front for a minute. Started to read reviews prior to ordering (good thing they didn't load) before first employee acknowledged me and took my order. He was nice enough. The place is a disaster, and the food is even worse. The savory burger I once knew now consisted of a stale bun, two tiny burnt excused of patties haphazardly thrown in. Chili cheese fries sloppily thrown together. From the look of the employees and presentation of the food, nobody at this location gives two craps and it's ruining the brand. read more

I love going here, especially when they have promotions like BOGO, or $4.99 chili cheese fries. I love that they make your food while you wait so you better not be in a hurry. They have an app, but judging from the low rating and poor reviews I think they need to address the problems and fix them. I just go to the website and click promotions. They seem to have something on special every few days. read more

Drove thru for lunch because had a huge craving for some Tommy's chili so opted to order a chili burger and chili fries to get my fix. Drive thru was fast and easy and all less than $14.00 not bad. If anything it may have been better to eat it while its hot but since I had my little doggie with my, take home was the only option. Burger and fries both hit the spot!! read more

It's been about two decades since I have been to an Original Tommy's! Was recently in the neighborhood and saw the "open" sign after 8am on a Sunday. Perused the menu and opted to get a breakfast burrito for the hubby. For myself I thought something with their famous chili would be too much for me so went with the classic burger to go. The burrito has chili and eggs in it and hubby thought it was tasty. In his college days, he had many of their chili burgers. For my the simple burger was good especially their sauce. Not my favorite burger place but good. The inside of the restaurant is greasy spoon vibes. Restrooms are outside with key entrance. The cashier was polite and efficient. Just 3 stars. read more

I still haven't gone back,,,, But a coworker of mine did and his reaction was about the same as mine. Can't exactly tell you what he said because well I'd probably get dinged for it, but I hope they get their act together because I've been going to the original tommy's spot forever and it's part of my not only childhood but my whole life and it's disappointing to have the name of a place that I enjoy going to look this bad. read more

I've been going to Tommy's for over 40 something years. This was the worst chili I ever tasted. The burger was terrible and it looked very unclean in the kitchen. They have burgers sitting on the counter, ready to go on the grill and they were discolored. I asked the young lady were they fresh she didn't answer. I do not recommend this. read more

Dependable, nostalgic and reliable are key notes that I give Tommy's. For a late night of drinking, Tommy's is open late and always hits a little better on late nights. It's been a few years since my last visit, but a Chili Cheese Burger and hot Cheese Fries were a delicious reminder of my youth when Tommy's was there to fulfill late night cravings, thank you Tommy's. A California institution indeed. read more

We came here after attending the Green Day concert at So-Fi Stadium. Leaving So-Fi is difficult as the police redirect traffic in the opposite direction you want to go. Tommy's was on the way home, and in a safe area so I decided to eat here. I have loved Tommy's since I was a boy and ate with my father. I got myself a double chili cheeseburger, and my son had a chili dog, and a chili cheese burger and chili fries. The food was hot, fresh and delicious. I could have eaten more but had to go to sleep soon. Tommy's RULES! read more

Their chili is the best in the business. On fries or burgers, yumm! If you don't want chili, there's plenty of other options, delicious and mostly fried but delicious nonetheless. Although today's prices on EVERYTHING seems high, imo, Tommys would be considered average. Been coming here for years and will continue to do so read more

I work nights and last night, I worked. I gave a coworker a ride home and she lives in Norwalk, so after drilling her off, I was craving something to eat. Driving home, I passed Tommy's. I ordered a double chili cheese burger combo and a chili cheese hotdog. I, generally, don't like fries, but the fries were good. I then ate the hot dog, it was good. Then I had the burger, it was so mid and dry. The burger bun was tasteless, it does nothing for the burger. I'd go back, but not for the burger. I went through the drive thru and the order taker to the person that passed me my food through the window were warm, welcoming and fabulous. read more

Terrible burnt on my chili cheese fry's. Hot dog overcooked tough as leather. Tommy's has always been very good. Not this time.

Got the #1 Combo w/o pickles. The service was courteous and prompt. Received my order within 5 minutes. The soda had good carbonation. The burger had that Tommy's chili goodness. The fries were golden brown but needed a little more crispness. Overall still good. read more

The best Tommy's location. Food is fresh and tasty. Friendly ladies who care about quality.

I recently went and asked for my food to go, the guy serving it got a little upset with a cook who didn't take my order, but I apologized saying I thought I made it clear my food was to go. I've made multiple complaints about this place and it's abhorrent that nothing has been changed or improved about it. I love Tommy's and this is the closest one located where I live and visit a few times a month for a meal. I come with my kids most of the time. The service sucks and is dreadful, a heavy set girl who always takes my order is always in a mood and rolls her eyes and seems bothered! I've talked to the manager about her and still getting served by her is the worst, she's given cold fries and rude service. When is management going to change? I might have to just change locations and try out a new Tommy's or just stop getting business with them in general! read more

We stopped by here while waiting for our car to finish at the car wash across the street. We ordered #1 combo: double chili cheeseburger and chili cheese fries with it. Overall, burger is decent. Fries are freshly cooked and not sitting in the warmer. Fries are not oily and soggy. Chili is good on top of fries. We'll eat here again if there's no other options around. Get more napkins, you'll need it. It'll be messy. read more

Very happy with this Tommy's the one on Pioneer and Alondra in Norwalk. The kind lady, Martha, who takes the orders in the morning is thorough, pleasant, and considerate. I appreciate her attention to detail and focus; sometimes her male coworkers speak loudly and it makes it difficult to hear her and for her to hear me, but she's certainly more patient than I am and she always gets my sometimes-complicated orders correct. The food is always fresh and well made, the way we all expect Tommy's to be. read more

Best chili cheese fries. Don't sleep on the breakfast burritos, they make the eggs fresh.

My husband and I had a late night craving for chilli cheese fries. We went to our local weinerschnitzel but they were closed at 1050pm. We passed by this Tommy's and decided to try it. We made it to the drive thru 3 minutes before closing and got 2 chilli cheese fries. The two ladies at the window were friendly and efficient. The chilli fries were BOMB! Great deal to for the amount. Late night craving satisfied! read more

Haven't had Tommy's in years. Had a craving for their famous chili cheese burger and chili cheese fries. It still tastes as good today as it was years ago. Ingredients were fresh and we ate it all up! Sooo yummy. I brought a friend here and he said he's gonna back next time he's in town. Also has a patio so we brought my dog Would recommend to others read more

BOGO chili cheese dog when you show or mention the Facebook promo thru 9/7/20 *Social Distancing Review* I remember having Tommy's chili cheese burgers once or twice, back in my high school days. The only thing I recall was how messy eating Tommy's can get. Listening to a Youtube "Let's Talk Fishing" show, someone mentioned to the host about the BOGO chili cheese dog promotion. Not one to pass on a good deal, especially when it comes to food, I saw the opportunity to patronize an eatery I haven't been to since many moons ago. Normally, Tommy's open at 9 am. Arriving about 9:30 am, I was greeted by a locked door w/ a sign showing hours are now 10 am - 10 pm everyday. No problem. I spent the time by taking pics & vids of the exterior, along with the adjacent businesses. Some staff came out, and were informed I was customer, probably thinking I might have been up to no good. Can't blame them, really. They let me know about the 10 am opening. Chili cheese dog- Heavy & a lot of food, I was quite disappointed. Tommy's is popular for their chili, and I found it bland. I liken it to eating mud. The onions, pickles & tomato really helped add flavor to a lackluster menu item. I also appreciated the snap of the hot dog. Again, a lot of food, but a lot of boring. Chili cheese fries- Big, thick, crispy fries, which unfortunately, smothered under that nondescript chili. This time, w/o onions to break up the monotony. I found this hard to finish, because, to echo my previous statement, it was if I were eating mud. Service was fine. I was the first in line, and fries were freshly deep-fried & my order came out in a little bit. Parking is via private lot at the Alondra Square, with a drive-thru for those looking to stay in their vehicle. My triumphant return to Original Tommy's, and I was let down. I'm glad I had the BOGO chili cheese dog promo, as I would've been more disappointed if I spent regular price on the food. Wienerschnitzel is much better & more delicious, in my opinion, and there are several locations closer to me than Tommy's. I won't be coming back. read more
