    Asked for Chili Dog with onions. Said it twice!!!  This is what I received. :(
    Tom V.

    Had the strangest encounter at this location. Speaker box: I would like a chili dog with onions. Window: "Just onions "? Me: " Chili Dog with onions ". Get home: received plane hot dog with just onions. What is also interesting, as I was driving off, line cook comes flying out the back door. Window girl had given me the wrong order. Looking back, I would have been better off with the wrong order.

    Chili Cheese Fries and chili burger

    Saw this IG special I always was looking into getting the chili fries and I am glad I got them and the burger is awesome. This will be one of my top best food I got for chili. My friends always told me to come to this restaurant and I finally went and I didn't disappoint at all. I really loved it. Will I came again yes and I will also get a cup of chili's to go to eat next time.

    Drye.  Worse chilli I ever had

    Chilli was drye, fries were dried. Was not good at all. Combo to was dried. Not sure what happen.

    Tommy's is a chain in California, especially in Southern California. I don't know if they have also opened out of State yet, but I don't think so. If you are in Southern California and like unhealthy, greasy, amazingly great chili burgers, chili dogs and everything chili it is a must stop. This one is in Pico Rivera. Not all Tommy's are perfect. This one is. We did the drive thru this time, we usually eat there. The line was long, but moved super fast. When we got to the pick up window are food was ready and it was as ordered. The service is really nice and they are fast. Always ask if they have a special going, they often do, but they are not posted at the store, they are on social media. The outside is spotless and they maintain it all so well. It is super cute. The food is great. Now, this is not some expensive chili burger you will get at a mid range eatery, this is the real thing. The chili is great and yes it has grease, just enough to make you love it. The burgers are not huge, you can order a double or triple if you want that. They come with cheese, tomato, lettuce and onion. You can get it without the chili if you want. They are all great. The chili fries are so good. Sometimes we just get the fries because we have chili on everything else, but it is so good and you get a lot. It comes with cheese on it, we order it without it. All their other items from their breakfast burritos, to shacks and drinks are excellent. their shakes are huge, we order a small one. And try their chili dog. YUM If you want health food, go elsewhere. If you want great food and don't care about your diet for a day go to Tommy's.

    Chili fries

    Big fan of Tommy's. But this location needs some work. The lines take forever to move along. By the time you get your food it's all cold. The fries weren't even cooked all the way and hardly got enough chilli. My burrito was poorly wrapped and has become so small compared to what Tommy's use to serve.

    Chilli cheeseburger. Served cold, as you can see by the cheese, which isn't even melted.
    Ell R.

    2.5 stars. Haven't had Tommy's in decades. I was feeling nostalgic and decided to treat myself. 1) drive through took what seemed like an excessively long time for a chilli cheeseburger and fries with only 1 car ahead of me. 2) the food was cold. Cheese wasn't even melted. Wtf. The Tommy's flavor was there, but the food was cold af. 3) ok,there's inflation and things cost more. I get it. But if I'm going to pay $11+ for a cheeseburger and fries, they better be well made, or at the very least served hot. The fries were like $4.50 and a small portion for that price. So, 2.5 stars because it still tastes like Tommy's, but 0 stars due to the cold food, high prices and small portion of fries.

    Great service and food.  Like the original
    Leslie E.

    I bought a double Tommy chili cheeseburger. It's always good. This location is just a little skimpy on the chili. I asked for extra but they really didn't put any. I asked for double tomatoes and they did that but I love Tommy burgers so this place was good enough.

    combo meal #3 with chili burger and french fries and drink
    Tim K.

    OK fine. I broke one of the golden rules when being out of town and searching for "local cuisine". I had my first Tommy's world famous chili burgers. I told my colleague I wanted something I couldn't get back home and when we drove by one of these locations, we did just that... gave it a try. So the chili burger is a burger with chili, pickles, onions, and tomato's on your basic fast food restaurant bun. As of yet my stomach has not revolting. The burger wasn't quite what I expected. The pickles were piled high, overwhelmed every other flavor on the sandwich. The sandwich was cooked just fine. The portion size was good. But to me it just wasn't that tasty. They do offer quite a few options on this basic burger, but something like the thought of cheese or doubling the burger and chili just didn't seem appealing. With the combo meal, we ordered it came with french fries and a choice of medium size drink. The french fries I must say were excellent. Not much else to say, but when in Rome...

    After a morning hike with my best friend, we decided to stop by CAVA in Whittier, and I'm so glad…read morewe did! From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with exceptional customer service from Angie. She was incredibly sweet, welcoming, and genuinely made us feel valued as customers. It's not every day that you come across someone who is not only friendly but also takes the time to make your experience feel personal and enjoyable. As for the food it was absolutely delicious! Everything tasted fresh, flavorful, and perfectly prepared. After working up an appetite on the trail, this meal hit the spot. The ingredients were vibrant, the portions were generous, and every bite was packed with flavor. Ambiance inside was a 10/10 but it was a nice day so we decided to eat outside. Between the outstanding food and Angie's wonderful customer service, this visit exceeded our expectations. Employees like Angie are the reason customers come back. We'll definitely be returning to this Whittier location soon!

    The food is good, but unfortunately the service is ruining my post-gym dinner experience…read more There is a female employee who is usually working the bowl station, and she never seems to wear a name tag. The three times I've visited over the last month, she's had the same negative attitude. She doesn't greet customers, serves noticeably small portions, and comes across as though helping customers is an inconvenience. On my most recent visit, I politely asked if I could have a little extra olives. I understand there are limits on proteins, rice, and greens, so I wasn't asking for anything unreasonable. It was just olives--a topping--and I wasn't even getting every topping available. Instead of simply saying yes or no, she let out a loud sigh, which made the interaction feel uncomfortable. Everyone has bad days, but after experiencing the same attitude on multiple visits, it seems like a pattern rather than a one-time issue. CAVA, I hope you'll check in with your staff. I enjoy the food and would like to keep coming back, but consistently poor customer service is making me reconsider.

    I got to try their burgers for the first time since I moved to the area and was really impressed…read morewith the cheeseburger. I used their BOGO promo that came up on Facebook. The buns here really make it stand out from other local dinners. It's really good because they're big and have a different texture than other smaller plain buns. After trying that burger I'll be back but I'll probably add bacon or another patty just to "fill up" the burger and bring it a little more flavor. Service was straightforward, I went through the drive through.

    Well came to get my Bogo I got in my messenger…read more Small a quaint place seem pretty clean we ordered the counter staff was very friendly and patient. We ordered our burgers and a large chili fries. Order was in good time. The large chili fries fills a to go box. Fries chili and cheese well mixed my wife aproved with; there bomb. Chili fries are so good I have to clean off my phone a few times even my phone likes the Good size burgers a lil messy I like it this way you know it's freshly cooked. Cooked well and very tasty. My wife says the burger could use seasoning I thinks it tastes fine with fresh lettuce tomato and request grilled onions. Grabbed some fountain drinks and a pretty good selection as well. They have a large screen TV up towards the ceiling booths and chairs make of the dining area. They have a good set of combos including what that call Doublz boxes prices are reasonable in this economy that also have sandwich breakfast and Mexican food selections. Atmosphere = 6 Customer service = 8 Counter staff = 8 Cleanliness = 6 Price to product = 7 I will return I want to try more of their menu. I have had there breakfast burritos via Uber eats my son order me one and wow I could not finish in one sitting

Half Azada & Half Adobada salsa on the side to it would get Soggy !!! . I got it to go cause i was didn't want to be stuck in traffic continuing home . Got home decided to eat my burrito came with sides red salsa , cebollitas , cucumbers , pico de gallo , guacamole , lemons , oh and a roasted jalapeño pepper Exacellent the Asada meat was great , the adobada meat didn't tasted like adobada was not bad but wouldn't get it again. if i come back ???? the bad part of this whole taco spot was that having only 2 customers in line me and this other guy and 2 other already sitting and eating and 4 taco crew members No one thought of sweeping the floor where they are preparing the food , a bit disappointing to see that... it's not like they were busy ??? they had more then enough time to Clean the Floors or sweep the floor so you won't see all the shit on the floor as you order ', you can't miss it .. it's right in front of you . Good service though .. the cebada water is really good . would i go back maybe soon, we will see if the floors are clean this time . over all food was great , salsa was also good . just little things that will defenetly make this place an awesome Taco Spot one Day !! i hope ....guac was also good

    Super friendly and quick service. One of my favorite asada steak tacos in the area at the moment…read more Some might find the meat a tiny bit dry but it was still deliciousThe adobada meat was flavorful and delicious as well. 3 or 4 tacos will get you really full.
