    Kevin and I have been coming to this Tommy's location for about 10 years, and it has never disappointed. Whenever we're craving a really good burger with chili, this is our go-to spot. The Double Chzburger Combo with chili fries is our favorite the chili is always rich and flavorful, and the meat tastes amazing every single time. We've tried a few other items on the menu, but we always come back to this combo because it's consistently perfect. The location itself is great very clean, well kept, and the staff are always friendly and welcoming. The only thing to note is that if you go through the drive through and order multiple combos, you might wait 15-20 minutes, which makes sense since everything is made fresh to order. We completely understand and don't mind it's a small trade off for quality food. We've also tried their breakfast burritos, which include chili as well, and they're equally delicious flavorful and satisfying. After a decade of visits, this spot is consistently delicious, reliable, and a true favorite of ours. Another simple stop that turns into a small treat every time.

    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.

    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!

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!

I ended up eating it with a knife and fork. I was happy about the generosity of filling but as a wrap it just did not hold up. I think next time I will just get the plate. There were only 2 staff members when I went but they were pretty efficient. Plenty of seating inside and area seemed fairly clean.
