Clean, easy parking, helpful, kind customer service with a genuine smile, much appreciated. Chili cheese burger and chili cheese fries with a large soda ordered. So affordable, good portions. We've been to the Original so this brings back great memories, and the flavor is still there! read more

Original Tommy's - Hot Dogs Near Me - Riverside, California

Great visit today!! Megan and her team tackled the challenge of a visit from the Tommy's spin the wheel gang that was for the celebration of 80 years of mouth watering chili heaven! They served each person with a smile and hot food! The visitors had a great time getting a chance to add points to their apps, while the Tommy's crew kept the hot food coming just the way every Tommy's Shack treat all us with love, respect and chili products the way your mouth is watering for. From what I could tell we all had a great time meeting the Tommy's family visitors to Riverside. Nice to have met you all. Thanks for the hat! P.S. Loved my chili fries! read more

I've been to Original Tommy's many times, especially the original L.A. location, and that place is always packed from open to close. So coming to the Riverside location was a completely different experience. On a Saturday afternoon, it was surprisingly empty. My wife and I dined in and only saw about two other customers the entire time. It felt unusually quiet for what should be a busy time. Food-wise, no complaints. The chili burger still hits. Messy, flavorful, and exactly what you expect when you're craving something heavy and satisfying. But the location just feels off. It doesn't seem like an area with a lot of foot traffic or the kind of crowd that usually goes for this type of greasy, late-night-style comfort food. Compared to the nonstop energy of the original L.A. spot, this one feels out of place. End of the day, the food is still solid. Just not sure this location matches the brand's usual vibe. read more

Original Tommy's - Order - Hot Dogs Near Me - Riverside, California

My Husband & I stopped late evening after our Family experienced a Death in the Family. We placed a small order in the Drive Thru. A Polite Sweet Gentleman named Luke made our stop very pleasurable. He multitasked his way around the Kitchen (which seemed very understaffed for a Friday Night) and made my Special Order Correctly with a Smile. Thank You Luke for taking Pride in what you do! Great Job! read more

Sometimes you gotta give in when the craving for Tommy's hits. The tables were clean. Food was prepared quickly and served hot. Everything was delicious but I removed one star because: 1. I asked for crispy/well done fries under my chili cheese fries and they were not crispy or well done. 2. We stood at the counter ready to order for several minutes before the employee who was wiping down the tables noticed us even though the restaurant was empty. read more

This place brings back so many memories. What else would you want after a night out of partying after 2am during the early 2000's? We used to always hang out at Tommy's back in my hometown and now every time we visit so-cal we gotta get our chili cheese burger fix and bring back some chili to Arizona for later. The food was and is always on point. Quick and clean service as expected. I mean it's like an art the way the burgers are always crafted fresh and the chili is unlike any other. I have yet to find a place like this out in Arizona. So glad to visit each and every time. The perfect blend of mustard with pickles, onions and a tomato is like heaven and again so nostalgic for those who know, know! You gotta get the fully loaded chili boat on the side. I even got a hamburger patty for my pup. much love from this OG! See you guys next time. read more

I'm bias. I grew up going to Tommy's in LA. I'm obsessed with their chili. Although their prices have risen astronomically, I'm always going to return. In case it wasn't obvious, this isn't a place you go to regularly. It's pretty heavy. So I'd suggest only on occasion. My go to is the chili cheeseburger and regular fries, no drink. Always ask for plenty of napkins. Staff is usually friendly. read more

A classic. The chili cheese fries are the go to and staple. Service has always been great here also clean. Just a bit expensive, but worth it. The only chili cheese fries I crave. read more

Been coming to Tommy's for over 20 years. I enjoy that their food is consistent: plenty of chili on your order, requests followed, fresh fries etc. I always get a double chili burger with regular fries. I add extra pickles and get chiles on the side. Tommy's always hits the spot! read more

ICONIC SoCAL CHILI BURGER FRANCHISE! My parents introduced me to Tommy's when I was a little one and I've loved it since day one! Tommy's has some of the BEST chili burgers in the business. It's a messy delight with classic buns and cheese. I always go full-on with the chili items, I recommend a chili burger and chili fries! You can't go wrong, I'm serious. The patties are a bit smaller these days, but what isn't? Tommy's blows In-n-out "out" of the water, it's a hot take but I will die on this hill. The fries are crispy, the meat is tasty, it's a good time. Service is speedy and you don't have to wait all day for a burger. Riverside's Tommy's is very relaxed and a great place to hang with family and friends. This is the nearest location to me so I try to visit as often as I can! I would say this location is on-par with the LA area franchises. The staff is calm and friendly. Tommy's has a drive-thru, simple menu, and plenty of tables, booths etc. for a quick or "slow-paced" bite. I spotted a soda fountain and a few unique menu items like chili tamales (which are the only item I do NOT recommend). read more

Original Tommy's - Chili cheese fries without the cheese - Hot Dogs Near Me - Riverside, California

Chili-cheese Burger was good. Servers were polite and place was well kept inside and outside! . Good music.

I told myself that I would get some Tommy's before I left LA. Well, Riverside is close enough. I stopped here on my way back to Phoenix for some lunch. I went with a breakfast burrito, and an order of chili cheese fries with onions. How was it? Probably the best Tommy's I have ever had! Chili Cheese Fries- I ordered these well done and they were fried perfect. These chili cheese fries were HOOKED UP! They were busting out of the box! A huge portion and everything tasted great! Couldn't ask for a better order of chili cheese fries! Compliments to the chef! Breakfast Burrito- I had never had one of these from Tommy's before, so I took a flyer on it. Turned out, that it was DELICIOUS! Huge, heavy burrito filled with thin eggs, sausage patties, hash browns, melted cheese and chili. It was so delicious, and surprisingly, not that messy. I ate the whole thing clean without it falling apart. Once again, compliments to the chef! This was a great last stop meal on my drive back to AZ. I will definitely come back to this one on a future trip. Food was perfect and it really hit the spot! Good customer service from the kid at the front counter, too. read more

Pretty fast service. I've grew up going to Tommy's.originally the one that started it all on Rampart in L.A. that seems to be the only Burger franchise that will send out specials on your phone like buy 1 chilli burger get 1 free or Didcounted Double cheese burger/chili cheese fries or Beef Tamale's. read more

Yesterday I went to this Tommy's and I asked for extra pickles on my burger. Maybe 3-4 pickles would've been good. However I got a soggy burger with at least 15+ pickles. I can take a prank. But considering they were playing with my food I threw my 20.00 meal away because who knows what else they did with my meal and I wasn't willing to take that chance. Just posting so others are aware to be careful when eating at this location. read more

Today March 22nd stopped and took family to enjoy the world's famous Tommy's when ordereding our food first disappointment was they did not have shakes second disappointment was the cook was slow and yawning over food constantly sat in drive-thru for about 20 minutes before receiving food upon receiving food fries were uncovered and barely any in the boat yellow peppers not covered really disappointed with location and sad to say this location gives a bad name to a historic name, worst location ever will never be coming back. read more

The guy working today was an ass....... We said allergy to onions please no onions. We didn't see no onions on the receipt so we kindly made sure to let him know. He then with an attitude said oh you don't want onions ok. We get home and there's a ton of onion on the burger. Obviously he hates his job. We have eaten there 2 other times with no issues. Why work somewhere if you hate your job. Poor service today. So sad. And the burgers are not cheap. $7.70 for just the double burger. read more

First of all, my husband and I were not sure if we should eat here since they didn't have that many selections. We decided to give it a try. We are so glad we did. Chili cheese burger was excellent, fries were fresh and hot. I even bought my husband a T-shirt! It was that good. Manager was very nice and friendly, food was fresh and hot, small place but very clean. read more

Megan was awesome! The food was delicious! We appreciate the promo offers. Clean restaurant! Great experience! We've been going to several locations for over 50 years! Still the same great food! The manager on duty was appreciative of our comments. Thanked us for coming and mentioned to keep an eye on the specials! New ones each week read more

I've been eating at Tommy's most of my life (a LONG time). I can't get anything like it in the desert where I now live, so I have driven and hour and a half to this, the closest, location. I believe this is my fourth visit to this location, and I have to say, not all Tommy's are created equal. I ate at another location several years ago and literally threw it away. Mission Grove i the exact opposite, the best iteration of this franchise I have tried. The food is fantastic, made-to-order hot. Nice, clean presentation. And of course the taste is simply the best. Greatly adding to the experience is the restaurant and staff. All of the employees are exceptionally nice and friendly--and accommodating. Always with a smile, never annoyed or looking like they wish they were someone else. You can tell they like their job and making people happy by serving them great food in the nicest way possible. And the cleanliness is off the chart. The restaurant is spotless, and when an employee is not busy, they are cleaning, on both sides of the counter. My wife is not a big chili person, but she never complains about going to the Mission Grove Tommy's because of the friendliness and the cleanliness, not necessarily a hallmark of similar restaurants. Food is 100% consistent as well, which is another huge positive--I know that I will not be disappointed, making the long drive totally worth it. Big thanks to the employees for enhancing each visit, and hats off to the owners/management who are clearly doing something right to have such an efficient and pleasant staff, and consistently great food. read more

Service was quick. Megan was amazing!!!! The chili cheese fries totally hit the spot.

Tommy's has been a part of my life since a kid. Never had a bad experience with the food, service or personnel. Today's order was no less different, but rather stepped up a notch. Megan took my order and had such an enthusiastic personality over the speaker box. After pulling up, I learn she is the GM for this location. She and her other crew member were knocking out the orders despite being a skeleton crew. Megan created good vibes from the get go. Folks like that really change up the fast food experience. Thank you Megan and your team member for today's order. read more

I've gone here since my undergrad days, and the food has remained the same. Which in their case is a good thing. Price has gone up, but that is the constant trend with everything now. Double Chili Cheese Burger $5.95 Chili Cheese Fries $6.20 Chili fries $5.45 Single Soft Serve Cone $2.99 (soooo not worth it) If you're looking for a fast and freshly made meal, you found it. Service is always good too!! read more

I'm honestly not the biggest fan of chili but this spot was pretty good. This spot is kinda expensive but it makes up for the portion sizes that they give you so somewhat reasonable. It's not something I would immediately consider but service was fast, food was somewhat presentable, and had big portions. read more

Been a while since I've had Tommy's and it's the exact same great taste that I remember.. food was great the service was good and we got the food pretty darn fast and some chill music in the back .. thanks again original Tommy's team read more

Stopped in today, for an early lunch. First time having Tommy's. First off the place was very clean, the staff was very attentive, greeted us as we walked inside, the food came out fresh, hot, full of flavor, and fast. We will be back. This is our new go to place read more

The chili dog was made with lots of love , the bun was. fresh, staff were friendly, The person working at the window serves you with lots of mustard , pepper. But doesn't put a fork or napkins in the box. Might need a checklist so they can remember how you complete the order... read more

Stopped for a bite to eat, hoping that this time would be better then the last two visits. Unfortunately it was not the case. I should not have to ask for fresh hot fries, not refried- dropped twice.. fries cook so quick cmon. Also the chili.. stir the pot!!! It tastes dry and so plain. These are things that can be changed easily with good training/management. I am gonna have to write this location off for awhile, hard to find a good Tommy's now a days. Shame I grew up loving this place. read more

No napkins? Plus the order was wrong even though they repeated it over the speaker and again at the window.
