    Chili Tamale with everything
    John T.

    Always consistent taste! Definitely a good spot to get your chili craves when their promotions are advertising on IG.

    Haven't have Tommy for decades and was craving for the world famous chili. Drove by and got to go in since my chili craving is hitting the fan. Plenty of parking and convenience since it located right on corner of Goldenwest & Westminster. Clean & spacious with only outdoor seating - both covered and none. It's a drive-through and walk up. I walked up and with small menu as I remembered back in the 80s-90s. The smells of fries and the chilli just bring me back to my HS memories. Service was nice, friendly and fast. Got chilli fries & chilli double cheese burger, skipped the drink (think I got enough calories & fat for the day). That good old taste, crispy fries with that thick yummy tasty delicious chilli on top...I forgot to ask for onion, but it just as good as I remembered. Same goes for the burger, just abit messy but all good time. Yup, hitted all the spots and I'm just loving it.

    Always great, been eating here my whole life. I always get the california classic cheeseburger and a chili cheese fry with pink lemonade I like putting the chili on myself so it doesnt get soggy.

    If you live in Cali, you'll learn to like Tommy's. Is it the healthiest meal? Of course not. It's probably over indulge at a level that will give you a food coma. It's a nice burger with great flavors. Fresh vegetables, the pickles, tomatoes, really helps cut the richness of the chili. The bread is soft and pillowy, I did ask for extra toasted bun but the employee I would assume had a language barrier so it was hard to understand her. The burger has a nice beefy taste. The chili cheese fries, I mean oowy, gooey, crispy, crunchy, dark n cheesy flavored, great amazing fries. I had Tommy's in Vegas, just didn't hit the same unless you come to Cali, then you get the real deal chili with great flavors, the chili is beefy, oily, and seasoned well. Gotta ask for extra white onions and the green peppers on the side. Bite into the pepper to squeeze out the pepper juice, another layer of tangy on the fries.

    This place is perfect for chillicheese fries and well if you are in the mood for some good old fashion burgers with chilli! This particular place is small, but the service was excellent. I had their number 1 . If you're in the mood to get your hands dirty this is the place! Enjoy fam!

    This place is such a hidden gem!…read more I was craving chicken teriyaki one day and passed by and smelled the grill. I knew I had to bookmark and read mind myself to pass through one day, So today was the day. I got the double chicken bowl which means more protein. This bowl was hearty? Enough for two servings. There's vegi's underneath! $15 and they have awesome sauces on the side. The original doesn't come with anything extra saucy so I liked it because you can be intentional about how much you want on it. Teriyaki could be sometimes overwhelming. The space is simple and the people were really friendly. Steady stream of customers. They also give us stamp cards, so don't forget to ask for that! I will be back.

    I wasn't asked white or brown rice!…read more Gnat a problem. The rice is too clumpy! Gnat a problem. The chicken is too tough! Gnat a problem. There are way too many gnats! Gnat a problem. I went a little out of my way to stop by this Flame Broiler in Garden Grove since I was also planning to get a drink nearby. To celebrate the start of the college football season, Flame Broiler was offering 40% off plates, excluding the Korean BBQ Short Rib plate. Between bowls and plates, I prefer getting plates because they also some with a small cabbage salad as well as a half orange whereas bowls do not. This Flame Broiler in Garden Grove is located in Chiana Plaza on the southeast corner of Valley View and Chapman. It's the westernmost business in that plaza closest to Carl's Jr, which has its own lot. Soon after I came inside, there was a customer placing his order, which gave me time to think of what to get. Amongst the plates, I noticed that the Chicken was the cheapest at $12.15. The Tofu plate was 60 cents more, which I found odd because at the two locations closest to me, it's at most 30 cents more. However, they're also more expensive than this location by almost $2, so at least there's a good reason to drive further for this Flame Broiler lol. While I was waiting to order, I pulled out my calculator to determine that between the Chicken and Tofu plates, I'd still earn the same number of points after the 40% off, so I settled for the Chicken Plate. When it was my turn to order, I showed the 40% off a plate offer on my phone to the female employee at the front (Julie?), but she mentioned that particular deal would only work online despite the "Redeem in store" button on my phone. That confused me, but she also mentioned another customer was having trouble with a similar offer. At the locations closer to me, I'd usually provide my phone number, so I gave her my phone number to see if the 40% would come off. Sure enough, it did. I quickly paid, hoping that the register wouldn't reverse course, and asked how long I'd have to wait; Julie estimated about 5 minutes. I think it was more like 3 minutes, but during the short wait, I noticed the receipt had said "white rice" when I would have much preferred brown rice, which is way healthier than white rice. There were several customers who followed me inside, so I really didn't want to be that one customer to hold up the line. When Julie called my order number, I brought to her attention that I wanted brown rice instead of white rice. I almost thought she'd say "too late", but she was able to send my order back and tell the female chef in the kitchen to remake my plate using brown rice instead. I thought it would have been as simple as scooping brown rice onto another plate and emptying the contents from the first plate onto the second, but surprisingly, it was a longer wait than for the first plate! When Julie announced my number again, she asked which sauces I'd like, and I went with the usual one of each except for the Seoul Scorcher, which I must forewarn is not for the faint of heart. I also asked for a water cup. I took the plate to the table in the near corner, but once I removed the lid, I saw a gnat on the edge of the plate! I really didn't want them to remake my plate a third time, and I didn't see the gnat on the food, so I just kept it as is. The cabbage salad already had the sesame dressing on the salad as opposed to the dressing on the side like I usually see. However, the cabbage was finely chopped as if to look like very thin rice noodles. I felt there was less salad here than what I usually get. The half orange was cut up into thirds, which I'm not sure why they had to go through the trouble of that, but at least it did make peeling the orange a little easier? The brown rice, chicken, and steamed vegetables tasted fine for Flame Broiler's standards, but I didn't like how the brown rice was so clumpy. I have a feeling Julie assuming I wanted white rice instead of brown rice may have played a factor in this. I don't think I had ever seen brown rice this clumpy at any Flame Broiler location, and the oddity continued with some pieces of chicken being tough to chew, almost as if there were soft bones randomly in the chicken. But the worst part? The abundance of gnats inside. It was a pretty warm Saturday, and I saw a couple of ceiling fans spinning pretty fast. I had to keep an eye on the gnats and shoo them away pretty frequently while I was enjoying my Chicken plate. Needless to say, it got annoying. There was a steady flow of customers placing their orders, and I didn't recall Julie asking even one of them white rice or brown rice, so I suppose the norm here is that you have to specify "brown rice"; otherwise, it defaults to "white rice". Also, most of them ordered to go as there are only about five tables inside. Overall, I'd only consider a return visit for the lower prices. And I hope they realize that gnats aren't gnat a problem.

Crispy, golden, and so good. I really appreciate that Bunz is seed oil free and sources only the highest-quality ingredients. It's so nice to find a place where you can enjoy an amazing burger while also feeling good about the quality of what you're eating.
