    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.

    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

    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!

Art is the owner and he is so helpful and friendly, he made ordering a breeze and was incredibly accommodating to our requests and needs. We ordered a variety of burritos, chicken, carne asada, and fish. They were so delicious, packed with a perfect balance of ingredients - (not like the overrated place that gives you a brick of rice with meat sprinkles). There was not a single complaint on the food among my 40 coworkers and that's very very very rare! Art highly recommended we try their breakfast burritos the next time, so most recently, we ordered that. We had the chorizo breakfast burritos, bacon burritos, and plain - all had eggs, hash browns, cheese, chipotle aioli, and salsa. Once again Art delivered outstanding service and food, no complaints, just happy, full bellies. And for this kind of customer service and quality food, I'd expect to be paying a high price, but Brick and Flour is extremely budget friendly. Please go in and support this local business because they are truly exceptional!!

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!

    Amazing!! I wish we had one of these in the SGV! We stumbled upon this place on a recent weekday…read morewhen we were in the area for a photoshoot. My husband had the steak gyro with fries. The fries were cooked fresh in a special seasoning and were a huge hit, even for my very picky 3 y/o. My husband devoured the wrap and said it was bomb.

We'd been shooting for hours and hadn't eaten that day, so were starving, yet I still couldn't finish it. Ingredients were fresh, and portion was very generous. There's an ice-cream shop on 1 side and a cookie shop on the other side of this place, so plenty of treats nearby to keep your toddler busy while you enjoy your meal (like we did lol).

    I've stopped here a couple of times on frequent travels through the area, and I'm going to return…read more The gyro sandwich is large, easily shared by two people unless particularly hungry. They load it with so much meat that it's hard to get your mouth around it! The pita is thick and soft, and you choose your own protein, sauce, and other fillings. Price is reasonable for this type of food. Side options for the sandwich are fries, rice, or salad (slightly higher charge for salad). The rice is fluffy but could use a little more flavor. We added a spanakopita, and it had wonderfully flaky philo dough and tasty filling. With the sandwiches, there was enough left over to take home and reheat in our air fryer. I haven't tried the dolma but look forward to those on a future visit. The shop is easy to access from I-5, just a little way off the freeway. It's in a shopping center, so there are many other restaurant and store options nearby, including a stuffed cookie shop right next door that is tempting. Counter service, with a few tables inside. If you like Mediterranean food and aren't looking for a full-service restaurant, it's worth a visit.
