    3/15/24 Tommy's has always been a go to spot for me in Cali . Any location . Met family and got some good chili burgers and fries and was delicious as always . Great friendly service and all of our food ordered was all correct . This location has covered outdoor seating only but was a nice day out we didn't sit out We took to go . Enjoy !!!!

    My brother took his last breathe in the lower level parking of this property late Saturday night.

    I'm writing this with a heavy heart. My brother took his last breath on the lower level parking of this Tommy's property late Saturday night. May I add that this parking had zero cars yesterday and only one car today that belonged to the employee Chris. It was a small memorial with a cross and flowers flickering candles a way to honor him and be closer to him When we returned this afternoon everything had been removed. I asked the manager, Katherine, what happened. She called corporate but refused to give me a name or contact. When I pressed her about where the memorial went, she said, "My guess? They threw it in a bag and tossed it in the dumpster," with a completely cold and emotionless expression. Not even a "sorry for your loss." No compassion. No care. Just dry and ice cold it's policy and indifference. That wasn't just a cross. It was love, grief, the only place we could go to feel close to him as we wait and plan his funeral. And they treated it like trash. Shame on Tommy's and Katherine for showing zero empathy to a grieving family. Businesses like this need to remember we are human beings. Not everything is just "policy."

    High prices!

    Wow! I haven't been here in a while, maybe 8 months and their prices are crazy! $13.50 for a regular chili burger, fries and drink.

    This place does not need a review. Tommys is tommys!! They have hands down the best chili and burgers in town. This is such a original and staple to our community. Ive been eating here since i was a little girl and nothing had changed. The seats are outdoor seating and its really nice and refreshing. Employees have been there for a very long time so they always remember you. Definitely check this place out.

    It's a Tommy's day.

    The double chili cheeseburger is a must-have classic! Their fries are also awesome, especially when ordered extra crispy.

The food was outstanding, flavorful, & exceeded our expectations. We ordered the Cauliflower Sandwich w/Fries & Cauliflower Wings with mild heat sauce. It was perfect! The service was just as amazing because Jesus took great care of us & made the whole experience even better. He was friendly, helpful, patient & gave great recommendations. So happy we finally tried this place. We'll definitely be back! Thank you, Jesus! :)

The restaurant was…read morebasically empty, and I was still looking at the menu trying to figure out what to get for myself. Food was good (according to my friend who regularly orders from here). It looked good too bad service was bad. The employee helping me, Jesus, had an AirPod in, barely acknowledged me, and made me repeat parts of the order multiple times. When I asked for one sauce, he rolled his eyes at me because apparently one was already included. I've never been here before. How would I know? A simple "one sauce is included" would've been enough. After I paid, he walked away without giving me a receipt, estimated wait time, anything!! Thankfully, the other employee who brought out my food was sweet! I was going to order food for myself too, but at that point I didn't bother. I went across to Thai Avenue instead and received GREAT service there. Jesus really needs to work on his attitude and customer service. Maybe he was busy with Togo orders, but please communicate wait times or say I'm sorry I'm short staffed now...Maybe it was a bad day, but there was no reason to make a first-time customer feel like an inconvenience. Literally felt like HELL.

I just wanna throw this out there, I noticed a particular night on Valentines day like around 6 or 8 pm? This employee was one of the night shift as cashier helping this woman who was clearly in a bad mood, determined to be angry standing with her phone and yelling at her man loudly all while being disrespectful towards the employee but he handled it under pressure and went above and beyond for her. Please treat your fast food employees with respect, they serve you fresh and hot food ready to eat to keep you fed and they deserve better treatment. Everyone deserves to be treated like a human being no matter the level of job. Always respect fast food workers. Thank you to that guy he was cool as hell too. Give him a raise!

Not only are we, as customers, paying for the food, but we are also paying with our time to try to figure out systems we're not familiar with and aren't very intuitive. It took so long to place an order for Dear Hubby, Sweet Granddaughter, and me that it was annoying. The only one who enjoyed the process was the 6 year old. Yes, the future will be hers and her generation's before very long! Even with the computerized system, the order was incorrect. We got the wrong dipping sauce, and didn't receive our drink cups. We weren't charged for SG to switch from milk to a milkshake. Didn't realize that until later when I was taking a look at the receipt. I would say that JITB is losing out with the computerized system. This is not customer service - it's customer torture! As for "ambiance", this location is sorely in need of a makeover. Fully half of the barstools in the main dining room area have their wooden veneer either partially or extensively peeling off from what's left of the seat. Not attractive, and could snag their patrons' clothing. All this "charm" because SG wanted either McDonald's or Jack In The Box, and we missed the one in La Canada Flintridge on Foothill. It was a long drive westward before we found this next option. I don't think we'll be repeating a visit to this location.
