Absolute garbage. Gross

Disgusting. Why would anyone ever eat here. First and last time. $17? What a joke. I hope i dont get sick.

Delicious food. Service was somewhat slow and it wasn't busy. Nonetheless the cashier was apologetic and friendly. A great place to stop for a taste of nostalgia and deliciousness.

Stopped by Tommy's for a classic SoCal comfort-food fix, and it definitely delivered on that "messy in the best way" reputation. Food: I ordered the breakfast burrito with added bacon, the chili cheeseburger, and fries well-done. * Breakfast Burrito: This thing is hefty. It comes loaded with eggs, potatoes, sausage, and then I added bacon to take it to the next level. Tommy's signature chili ties it all together with that smoky, savory hit they're known for. Definitely a heavy, indulgent way to start the day--and honestly, I'd do it again. * Chili Cheeseburger: Classic Tommy's. Messy, bold, and full of nostalgia. The chili is still the star: thick, beefy, and unapologetically saucy. Exactly what you sign up for. * Fries (well-done): These were the only slight letdown. They were close to what I wanted but still could've been crispier. Not bad, just not quite at that perfect crunch level. Service & Atmosphere: Fast, friendly, and exactly what you expect from an old-school LA staple. Clean dining area, quick turnaround, and plenty of outdoor seating. Nothing fancy--just dependable. Overall: Even with the fries missing that extra crisp, this visit hit the spot. Tommy's is still the go-to for chili-covered everything and an iconic LA fast-food experience. I'd definitely come back the next time I'm craving that classic, no-frills comfort meal.

Chili Cheese Fries

I feel like Tommy's gets a bad reputation. I was very satisfied with my experience here. I went around 3pm, not too many people and they were very quick with my order. The chili cheese burger and fries were very good. It was made fresh, delicious, cheesy and just as good as I remembered it. The place was spotless which was also a plus. I'd say try it out if you're nearby, it's well worth jt.

My wife is out running so many errands of late, I can pretty much rest assured that I'll be surprised with takeout brought home from somewhere. Today it was our first try of our local Tommy's, a much enjoyed chili burger for us from various locations over the years. But strangely, never here close to home. So with our son home enjoying a few days off from work, she arrived with chili cheese burgers and fries for the two of us, while only choosing a non-cheese chili burger for herself; no order of fries for herself necessary, just eating from my order is usually sufficient for her. I guess the last time I tried any location, my son and I several years back, was so disappointing I'd sort of steered clear of this spot. But after today all is not lost with Tommy's ( and never was lost with the always enjoyable original LA eatery). These guys pretty much put the chili in chili burgers. And today's sampling keeps the "World Famous" in their name with pride. The fries are decent too, but you come here for the burgers. "World Famous" burgers.

Double cheeseburger with chili fries!!

Drive from San Francisco to LA we stopped and had a chili burger, cand on our way back up we stopped for a breakfast burrito. The chili in the burrito is great! See you. Next time

Nothing like having a Tommy's breakfast sandwich right before a 5 hour drive home! This location is conveniently located right off the fwy in Valencia. Service is always incredibly friendly and every Tommy's location we've been to is super clean albeit we do usually come in during morning hours. Dining Room is open Monday-Sunday 7am-2am and the drive thru is open Sun-Thurs 7am- 2 am/ Fri-Sat 7am-3 am. Open on Christmas Day!

$23 for this! But good
Rosa R.

Fantastic !!!! Flavorful as all Tommy's. I ordered my burgers with extra chili because I heard two people complain about not putting enough chili. Service was good! Clean restaurant for sure. Indoor and outdoor seating. I'm giving 4 stars because it's higher in price here than other Tommy's. I paid $23 for a cheeseburger and a #2 . Too expensive.

Double Cheeseburger but where's the chili!

A ghost kitchen with several other businesses…read more There was always a person at the front counter answering questions. The gentleman told me to head over to the screen to order from any of the restaurants located there. The people working the front, they get a notification and go pick up the food from the various other restaurants inside. Once I ordered, it took about 10 minutes to receive my food. It tasted freshly made. The smash burger was crisp and hot. The burger bread was buttery and moist, not dry. The thin fries were slightly seasoned. The soda was a fountain drink with light ice (very good, unlike other places where they fill up the cup with ice). Also, once the food was ready, I also received a text message that it was ready. The location has a few tables inside and some tables outside. Some of the tables outside have umbrellas. Overall, I will be coming back when in the area.

Safe bet. aka Delicious Burger…read more I decided to try this place on my birthday. You can get caught up in the minutiae of this place being a food hub which is a "new wave eating experience" but I think Yelp reviewers want to know flavor, and the "double quickie" I had, had just that. Good smashed burger with crispy beef patties that taste freshly cooked off a black top griddle. The cheese melds well, and the carmelized onions are long and stringy and give the needed texture to the burger. Pickle for acidity. Magnifique. What more do you need? Also: The fries were delicious and freshly cooked and salted too and echoed in n out fries(ish) flavor and texture, but had twice the quantity. I'm not a burger guy per se, but I do enjoy good food, and this is a great quality burger ESPECIALLY compared to what is out there ESPECIALLY online for delivery. Price is about "market", which is fair, and I say pull the trigger if you are cool with that. Staff was courteous and helpful, place was clean yet small, but it's kinda chill to sit out front and enjoy the food. Thanks Wanna Smash!

I think you will like this place, they also have super sandwiches and I love their chicken sandwiches. I am pretty sure they have a vegan burger as well.

Hooked on their delicious menu items and incredibly affordable pricing…read more I was passing through Santa Clarita and looking for a quick and cheap lunch option. Yelp recommended Hook Burger, so I listened. This local burger joint serves up all your favorites: burgers, sammies, salads, and more. I ordered the chicken caprese sandwich. Since this meal was around $13, I expected it to be pretty average. I was shocked to find the sandwich was absolutely delicious. I devoured it in minutes. While the concept is fast-casual, they have a pretty large dining space. This place is great for big groups, family outings, etc. I could easily see myself stopping here on my next road trip!

Service? What Service?? Drove through this Jimmy Dean's on…read morethe old road to get a char grilled chicken sandwich, one of my favorites for many years. My "lack of service" experience began at the drive-through order box. To be fair, there's a loud air conditioner next to the drive-through making it harder to hear. There's also a car wash next-door, adding noise. I asked for a chargrilled chicken sandwich, she replied back a tropical chicken sandwich, I said no a chargrilled chicken sandwich. She replied back "thats what I said". She repeated it again, sounding like a tropical chicken sandwich, which is another choice on their menu, but I cut my losses here. Decided to ride this one out at the window. Now, at the window, 2:30 PM, this female ( wore glasses, dark hair pulled back) attendant was on her headset, obviously listening to somebody, as she was talking to me, so clearly distracted. Took my credit card, gave it back with no interaction. No smile, she acted as if I was bothering her & the last priority on her mind truly. Then gave me my food with NO thank you, no smile, as a matter of fact, a grimace face the whole time! I remained there after she walked away, since I decided to get ranch dressing too. When she came back to the window, she acting annoyed that I was still there, I said "I'd like some ranch dressing, please". She replied, "75 cents" ". I said, "sure no problem" & gave her the .75 cents. She then gave me the dressing without thanking me again. She had three opportunities to thank me but elected not to do so. She didn't smile once, and remained listening to her headset. Call it a sticking point BUT leaving restaurant establishments feeling neglected and miss treated is NOT ACCEPTABLE! There's an obvious lack of monitoring employees by the afternoon shift manager at this location. I felt her poor attitude and even anger. shift Managers need to be watching their employees consistently & provide real - time customer service training, with consequences for not providing it. I left there so annoyed! After two days, I'm still annoyed enough to write this review. She was rude and I found this unacceptable in a service business. I probably won't go to that location again. She lost my business for them.

Was once SO GOOD. Now the food is practically unedible. It's not like they switched ingredients,…read moreits literally just overcooked, undercooked, or salted to the point where it's like someone wants you to die eating it. I got their fries, and I swear it was like chewing rocks.

It might be because I talk to them all and I visit so much they appreciate me which is why they stand out. The store is always clean and the condiments are always stocked! The front person works very well with the cooks and o have never had a wrong order or meal! I give them a lot of respect as they work very hard. I also see them treat every customer the same! Every customer get A+ service. There is one front person...a chubby girl, Hispanic who seems lazy, never turns on the drink machine and when I ask her if they have a certain thing she tells me she's tired or it's too early and she will get to it when she can. It's a bit off putting to be honest! She is the reason for the four stars instead of the five star review! Plus the $10 dollar deal is absolutely the best price in town. Times are tough these days and because of Ha bit and their $10 dollar deal it allows thousands of people to afford to eat! Plus it's a lot of food and taste great! Keep it up Habbit!
