They have to be putting something in the chili! Never been to a place that has you licking fingers, spoons, bowls, wrappers, etc. They know this and offer it as a stand-alone item. Burger patty is delicious too. It's not quite homemade but more like a "Bubba Burger" and not like a gas station or lunch line burger patty that a lot of other places serve. Very easy ordering process for a picky eater. read more

Original Tommy's - Burgers Near Me - Palmdale, California

Too slow. I drive up to the speaker and it takes them literally 3-5 minutes to take my order. Ridiculously slow. Kiddie corner is Chi-Fil-A with no wait for orders. You could get your order in 1/2 the time across the street. I literally made this review while waiting. read more

Had the Caliente Burger and Chili-Cheese Fries. Great chili as always. Must try read more

Original Tommy's - Burgers Near Me - Palmdale, California

Walked in and placed our order. Maria who took our order was rude. No personality what so ever. We said thank you and she just rudely walked away. What a shame. Not like they were busy inside. We were the only customers in there. What a shame. read more

I didn't do any research. I didn't ask for recommendations. All I did was open yelp and order. With a name like World Famous, you have to try it. Well, I'm not a fan of chili in my burger and the chili was not good. I didn't read the description. All I wanted was a double cheeseburger. Nothing really stood out about the burger to make me go back. read more

Just the best in the unhealthy food group lol. This is one of my favorite places when I go off my diet and want a treat. Order the fries well done for extra crunch and flavor. The staff is always nice seem to like working there read more

They wrapped my chilly cheese fries in paper. So when I open the cheese and chilly was stuck to it. So had to scrape that off.. Plus found a HAIR! So just ate the hamburger and now u find myself hold back puke. AKA good poisoning from bag chilly.. I will NEVER return and I advise you to do the same. read more

I like this place for my cheat meal days! :) Yes the food in on the higher calorie count scale, but it's a good treat to enjoy! I love how clean it is for a fast food restaurant, management does a great job! The staff is well trained, very nice and professional. read more

This Tommy's seems to have a problem with their chili dogs! Using old un- edible hotdogs ! The last 2 times we picked up food at their drive through, we have had the same results! I order the double cheeseburger , no problem with it, but my wife and sister ordered the chili dogs and they could barely bite into them and had stomach aches an hour after! Don't order chili dogs here! read more

Always good for a quick lunch having a chili burger n fries. Grew up eating tommys chili fries and burgers since high school and never gets old. read more

Just came here because my mom was craving it. The burgers are ok nothing like the tommys in Van Nuys (with the full menu). My mom changed her order from a chilli cheeseburger combo to a double chilli chesseburger and all I got was additude from the male employee. I even appoligized n he stayed silent. Employees are rude. Maybe that why this place is empty. Improve customer service and more people will stop by. I will not be back. read more

Came here for a late night meal , never been here before. Fast easy service from the employees, no issues with my order in the drive thru. Thank you. As person below stated , a little pricey for a burger place. But you get what you pay for. Quality food! read more

I've been eating Tommy's for about 41 years. We've been frequenting the Palmdale one since it opened, until recently. There used to be lots of baby boomers (most of whom started their Tommy's habit at the original one at Rampart & Beverly like we did) in here enjoying burgers, fries, sodas and classic rock, but not anymore. A while back they changed the radio station to young people's music and now you never see very many boomers in there, and we can't stand the music so we rarely go now. The last two times we were there we saw only a few teens and one family with young kids (it used to always be busy). No older folks. Both times I suggested they need to bring back the classic rock and got laughed at, so apparently the manager there prefers fewer customers. We have obliged him. We won't be back unless we somehow find out that the classic rock is back. We've been fans all these years; I wonder how many years the younger generation will frequent Tommy's. I'd bet it won't be anywhere near 40+ years. I took away one star for the noise they call music. The food is still good, and we would come back if there was no music at all (but we'd prefer classic rock), but otherwise we won't darken Tommy's door in Palmdale. read more

Around 11:55pm Nov 16th. Drive-Thru. Ordered a Caliente burger with NO cheese. Got home and discovered Caliente burger WITH cheese. I placed un-eaten Caliente burger back into box and bag. Drove back to the same Tommy's drive-thru and explained (politely) that I specifically DID NOT want cheese on my Caliente burger (which my receipt reflects) and I am here to return the wrong burger for the correct burger. Window clerk took my returned burger. Moments later provided me the correct burger (so I thought). I drove home and discovered that the burger did not have cheese (thanks) but it was NOT a Caliente burger. It had no peppers anywhere on or around the burger, like it was supposed to. I have no interest in driving back to the drive-thru a third time to return another burger. Why is this so difficult to get right? It's only one item I ordered to get correct. How much patience should I have for this? read more

skinny white girl taking my order had a bad attitude. bad manners. haven't tried the food but so far their attitude earned them a bad rating. read more

What can I say about Tommy's. I have been eating their food since I was a kid. The chili is awesome the burgers taste great and the fries are always crispy. The staff is very friendly. The place is super clean. Even the drive-thru is pretty fast. Great for a late night snack and they even serve breakfast. The breakfast burritos are pretty tasty too. They are open late which is great if your craving that awesome chili. read more

Waste of money. I wouldn't feed this shit to my dog. Thanks for nothing. It tasted like how I imagine diarrhea would. Nasty ass fucking food, spend your money elsewhere, this shit isn't worth a fucking penny. read more

While running errands for my father in law, my husband decided to pick up burgers from Tommys. I've never eaten here, but he had and said it was pretty good. I just got a cheeseburger and fries, and my hubby got the double chili burger, and chili fries. My burger was decent. Pretty thin meat patty, but I don't mind the veggies taking over my burger sometimes. The veggies were fresh, and crisp. The fries were hot, and perfectly cooked, but could have used a little salt or seasoning. My husband let me taste his chili fries, and I wish I would have ordered something with their chili sauce. It's that good! The service, while decently fast, leaves a little to be desired. Our server seemed miserable and was terribly unfriendly. It wouldn't deter me from future visits though. Would definitely splurge on my diet here again if only for the chili fries. read more

Yea, this place is awesome. Much as i like their chili hamburger, i can't eat here everyday. If i did, i would have a heart attack by next week. But their chili hamburger is just packed with flavors. Unfortunately, i like mine spicy, so i always ask for extra peppers on the side for extra kick. They don't have 100s of things on the menu, they only make chili hamburgers and maybe one other thing. Even tho, they have very limited items, but they are very good at making them. Anyways, if you are ever in CA, must stop by this place. read more

Rude !!! One of the workers there called me fat in Spanish as tho I didn't understand her all because I asked if she can repeat my order cause I didn't think she got it right . When I asked if her comment was referred to me she looked at me shocked that I understood what she said . Never will I go back read more

best chili burgers in the world along with the chili cheese best heart attack from the west to the east n everything in between read more

I go out of my way to enjoy Tommy's coffee! Their food is fabulous... But I fly by Starbucks to get a cuppa.

Where do I begin? I love tommys. I grew up in la walking distance by the original tommys by rampart/beverly. I used to always get their chili cheese dog and chili cheese fries. But then I was introduced to their breakfast burrito... omg... one of the best breakfast burritos ive ever had. I wouldnt recommend eating tommys everyday though but their food greasy, messy, but sooo gooood. But like I said, I dont recommend it everyday lol. I knocked off one star because the wait takes soooo long in the morning. I think they only have two people working that shift or something. And also because they seem to be making the breakfast burritos smaller..... Tommys, you didnt think I would notice?! I did..... but I still enjoyed the burrito read more

So what if it's greasy. It's soooooo good. I watch what I eat, but this is worth the splurge. The Best. I have the chili chees with everything and my kids get plain hot dogs. Always right on with the taste. Great fast service. The best. read more

The food is delicious, but the rating is for the sorry staff and how the restrooms are neglected. We told them the men's room needed attention. The employee says, "OK" as she walks away. Forty-five minutes later, the restroom remains unattended. The ladies' room was also in need of replenishing supplies. The employees were standing around yakking. They are neglecting their duties. Also, these people are the sorriest staff. They are such sourpusses you cannot even get a smile out of one -- not one of them. You keep thanking them for everything: taking your order, giving you your cups for the sodas; then, later handing you your meal and you cannot get one of them to say that you are welcome. We've come to Tommy's in Palmdale since they opened. They used to have nicer workers. Absolutely every single one of their workers needs professional training. It does not matter what time we visit the restaurant. As things stand, they have no business behind a counter and dealing with the general public. We continue to return because the food is delicious knowing that once again we will be dealing with unprofessional people. They are the pits! read more

Ordered the Classic burger and got a mess. Drenched in onions and the buns were hard. Tables were also dirty. Not the best experience - sad to say read more

Recent order had a suspicious amount of ants in the soft drink cup. I am now starting to understand why a lot of people refuse to eat and support fast food establishments. Do your part today and prepare your own meals. read more

I know it cant be good for you but it doesn't stop me from eating the breakfast burrito! Its so damn good. A nice sausage burrito with Tonmys famous chili inside!! Staff was cool too. I showed up a few mins after they stopped serving bfast and the cook overheard me and said "its no problem" #saint read more

I grew up eating at the Tommy's off Roscoe and the 405 so when the built one in the AV I was overjoyed! Soo good! Sometimes you get that Tommy's craving that you just cant shake! yum yum - read more

Loved their vanilla/strawberry milkshake! :) friendly service went for lunch and they served the food fairly quickly.

While driving in the area I needed a snack, just wanted a dog with mustard, relish and onions. What I got was a mustard, relish, onion loaded bun with a burried soggy dog. Attempted to salvage by freeing the encapsulated wiener, but it was a lost cause. I guess Tommy's is great the closer one is to .08 BAC. read more

Not a real Tommy's. Not even half the menu of others. Didn't even waste the time or money to order.

Tommy's #31 (Palmdaq 25) presents chili with a worker's informal modes, dishing out customer instructions and meal observance for all batches that aren't cardinal because of every human motive; at the source of burger spices or purchase aid, together with a ranch look of one boulevard, Tommy's Original #31 doesn't have a workforce's call to kitchen comments with my sheer absence of speed, so the condiment meal restaurant takes out x-chili, double cheese, and precious water near desert places in references to change and coming again. "!!!!Duplicate!!!!" In voices driving through, there's messages: cashier on public demand, sequences over reminders, an issuer's approval or rebuke of menu questions, deciding with something which gets enormous or petite, money behind these totals and thirsty wrappers, plus this combining style from pitching fries to licking straw. Cardinal buys are targets above square feet when requests on want actually let that crew's machine turn its wheels with pressure eating on those moments; thus, my father's Visa is a weapon for Original Tommy's Los Angeles compromise, providing that sweet pickle moisture I hint around with robust taste after beef sinks into my vocabulary. Now, an employee who has given hot dogs to children may be rare if Tommy's vegetable imagination goes along with a cook's patty contemplation, but Palmdale is the golden azure of burning school recess until I see brisk snow frosting people's lawns at the break of city morns; just tinker with the chili towels during heavy sausage breakfasts since a mopper's language is like the joint's popularity of silence, although Drive-Thru invoices involve some talkers' organizations of wit at communication levels. Really understand that various meals at Original Tommy's housed shacks are confused with levels of messiness; the splattered chili is red brown and conceptual with flour I dig into a congealed condiment layering meat sizes, thick tomato slices, fresh onion blocks, accommodating buns for dining hands, sandwich trays even. Fast food isn't gavage but a possible gift for tender identity. Rapid customers maybe think of meetings as something other than time; that is, I can relate to winners and losers, munching on, smooth chews, attempting to introduce cultural substances which relate with Tommy's magnetic gusto of romantic attention, generally recognizing sticky food and cold milkshakes as effective toward our pacific hunger bodies when a Julian family brings me drinks that aren't the courses yet. World famous sandwiches can't always be popular because televisions serve as electronic mediums about random information; still, my comments for Palmdale Tommy's are as secondary as other customers', so my childhood favoritism becomes the reader's consciousness while he or she leers into text to observe my slow attitude. Tommy's Original Chili is scrumptious with enough play weight and bumpy appearances, served on finely designed rations before I leave for society's futuristic touch also brief shine. read more

This place has absolutely flavorless chili...the food is a waste of money... It's way too expensive for what you get... You're better off going to Wendy's or in n out... For that matter even McDonald's read more

Always love this spot! Only reason I didn't give it a 5 is cuz it's not the original Rampart location. BTW if Joeys working the drive thru your order is gonna be hilarious! read more

Love this place!! I'm hooked it's never too busy cause the employees know how to hustle!!! Hats off to you ladies in there. The 4 stars is simply cause I had to yell into the speaker box for the person to hear me but hey what can you do there's a lot of traffic nearby. read more

I was soooooo dissapointed!!!!! Everyone told me how great it was, so I was excited to try it. Big mistake!!! I ordered a 1/4 pounder and I got some small burnt piece of meat on a bun with a glob of mustard, a handful of onions, and about 7 pickles. Ruined my appetite!!! Really pissed me off because I was really hungry!!! read more

This place is awful, the burger was like rubber and the chili taste like canned dog food I will never go back.

I have always loved Tommy's, chili, burgers. Great food, good prices. I think it is just the location. I feel like if I am going to Tommy's, it is like, to go out of my way, to go there. It is also almost always empty, like a weird vibe in there. I love it, just don't go there much, due to weird parking lot layout, and location. Location, Location, Location. When I was a kid if my Dad got paid, he would drive the extra mile out of the way, to go to Tommy's off the 405, on Roscoe, in North Hills. It was always hopping in there, not like this place, this place is so quiet, I feel like I am at a funeral. read more

Good tasty burgers. Very sloppy. Add peppers makes it spicy and its great. Chili cheese fries are great too. Super filling.
