    Chili burger and chili fries
    Lyle O.

    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!!

    Breakfast burrito 8/24/25

    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. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The inside of the restaurant is greasy spoon vibes.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Restrooms are outside with key entrance.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The cashier was polite and efficient. Just 3 stars.

    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.

    Love their chili fries and burgers!

    Post concert meal, double cheeseburger
    Jef H.

    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!

My husband and I have been wanting to try the Ube sliders for a while, and we decided to get that. We also go the Panda Style fries with spam. When we got our food, everything looked so delicious. We've had the Panda Style Fries before. And it never disappoints. The fries have great taste from the seasoning to the sauce. And the spam brings out that saltiness the fries need. I love the grilled onions on top. We usually eat it from the top to the bottom, so we usually don't get much sauce or toppings when we get to the bottom. I think it's meant to be mixed, but we don't want it to get mushy. The be sliders were good. The patty, sauce, and grilled onions were good. The Ube bread didn't have much Ube taste to us (imo). And I felt like I was getting more bread than the actually patty and what was inside the burger. I felt like I could have used more sauce to soften up the dry texture I get from the bed. But overall it was good. This place is located inside the Steelcraft so it has a nice, chill ambiance. The place can get busy, especially when they are showing games. But a nice place to hang out and chill over some food and drinks.

    WOOOOHOOOOO a wonderful experience!…read more Alright firstly is the food great, yes! It's a fast-food drive-in burger joint okay so let's talk about it. When I walked last night 15 minutes before close, no one was trying to rush me out and still asked if I wanted to eat there. This was delightful because usually people are completely poops about it. I wish I knew the young man's name who was the cashier he was so kind, outgoing, and just overall super bubbly and friendly. My had a small baby and I went in first to order and then went outside to trade with my husband so he could use the restroom as we waited for our to-go order. Without me sharing any thoughts with my husband the first thing he said when he got back is how supremely friendly the young man was and how he swears his attitude was contagious because he came out with a smile on his face. The food itself as mentioned was great. We took advantage on the specials for the double cheeseburger and the chicken sandwich. I know people will debate it, but I enjoyed the well seasoned and tasty breaded sandwich much more than In-n-out. The chicken sandwich tasted so high-quaity in comparasion to most fast food sandwiches I've ever had and priced so affordably. The entire resturant and the restroom were impicaly clean, the defintion of "sparkling clean". This location really has it together and the chose the right person to be in the front dealing with their customers. Truly a wonderful experience!

Tasty and good as always, but the Chicken club sandwich was a disappointment. 2 pieces of chicken barely fit the bun with bacon. My wife doesn't squavel like I do. My first job was in food. But she said it was still good. If it's going to be the strips used for the Chicken club make them a bit larger at least sticking out the sandwich. Otherwise....

Love their wide open dining space, kids area and even dance floor. Restrooms require a code, but you can get them from any of the restaurants/long-standing vendors. Food variety is perfect with awesome eats at Tacos Arandas (veggie friendly), Barrio (our friend Sid's favorite), Un Rinconcito Argentino (an instant hit with my Argentinian), Pana's Cafe, Panda Sal's, ChocoFaberries, Off Duty Beer + Wine and others. They even have a full arcade and ample parking in back. Service is top tier. Even the employees who help keep SteelCraft thriving are personable. Family friendly, friend group friendly, pet friendly and very welcoming of everyone. Definitely making Downtown Bellflower even more of a hub. Free Wifi. Free Parking, including street parking with no restrictions after 6pm. Live Music on certain days as well as events. Open at 7am daily at the corner of Bellflower Blvd/Oak Street. Closing hours vary, though go until 11pm Friday - Saturday, and until 9 or 10 pm on other nights. Hope to see a couple more of these in Greater LA especially in big hub areas like the San Fernando Valley, San Gabriel Valley and/or DTLA in the future.

It's nice that parking is accessible in the front on Bellflower Blvd. and in the back parking lots. There are areas where you can sit on stools or on picnic benches. Also several corners where there's shaded trees and a swing bench. It's nice to have the eating area in the middle of the courtyard, but I really don't like the dirt area. But I get that it's probably easier for spills to be soaked up so people don't slip and it's less maintenance. If you're a fur-parent don't worry, there's even a couple bowls from which your pet can get fresh water from their drinking fountain. Or just bring your own bowl and fill it up at the water station. It's really a pet friendly place. We brought our Shih Tzu along and saw another dog sitting on the bench. Food choices are good, you can enjoy a beer and burger, tacos, Filipino/Korean fusion, Coffee, Boba, Argentinian food. There's also a big screen which they televise sports games. Price wise it's about $15-$20 per person for a complete meal.
