    Decided to take advantage of this week"s FB special - buy one Chili Cheeseburger or one California Classic Cheeseburger and get one free. I always enjoyed OT chili and especially dipping my fries with the leftover chili on the wrapper. The fries were hot and crispy. Service was extremely friendly and prompt. There is only outside dining. No issues with parking.

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

    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.

    Alexandra amd Jackie were amazing!!! This has always been my favorite Tommy's since it was the first time I had their chili cheese fries many years ago. Super frieny and professional. They both mad

    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!

I ordered the Western Bacon Cheezburger Combo, with Onion Rings as my side, and, a Raspberry Iced Tea as my drink. The place was busy-ish, with people eating their food. It's outdoor seating, only, which presents its own challenges when there's a wind blowing. But, I digress. Aside from maybe a couple people conversing, and, the music playing, not to mention skaters from the neighboring skate park rolling up, and/or out, it's relatively quiet. Just as an aside: That wasn't a complaint. In fact, it's primo Real Estate being next door to a Skate Park, as far as I'm concerned. My food was ready in about 12 minutes or so, which was nice. My burger was bigger than the last couple of burgers I've eaten fairly recently , which was great. Definitely tastier than the last couple of burgers I've had. I'll have to eat here a couple more times to truly give it a final verdict, but, I was pleased with my burger. I have yet to give a mention of my onion rings, so, here goes: This is how Onion Rings should be done! Golden Brown, and, not Orange. Tasty, for sure! Overall, like I said, I'm pleased with my experience. I'll have to eat here at least once more to truly get a feel(taste) for their food, but, like I said, I'm pleased.

The order process was pretty simple -- I responded to their Instagram story and they reached out with follow-up questions, menu options, and pickup details. The pickup was from a home residence in the city of Garden Grove (off of Brookhurst Street and Hazard Avenue), nearby Pho 79 if you're familiar with the area. The exact address is provided with your order! The owner, Aamir, was very friendly and professional when I picked up my food and the burgers were packaged very neatly in separate boxes. I ordered two smash burgers that included three patties each, which cost $15 per burger. They included caramelized onions and jalapenos, which were a delightful surprise. The patties were a little salty, but upon reading the other reviews, I see that the owner pre-marinates the patty meat. The prices were also steep for just the burger, and I thought my order would come with fries on the side, but that doesn't take away from the quality of the food. All in all, I would return for future orders and would love to see them open a brick-and-mortar restaurant someday, ideally in Garden Grove still. 10/10 rating and five stars all around for a seamless ordering experience, delicious food, and timeless customer service.

The owner is super responsive, and you can tell he wants to provide the best service possible. During this special pop-up event, they were serving two's a tango that features their warm brioche bun along with two halal patties smashed with cheese and carmelized onions on top. The burger itself was massive, with one being more than enough to feed a hungry person. After talking to the owner, he mentioned he pre-marinates his meat, so that could be the reason why the taste was a little salty for us. The sauce is awesome and complimentary, so when ordering, if you don't plan on eating the burger right away, to prevent sogginess, ask for extra on the side. I know some people prefer the meatiness, but I am a sauce type of girl. Overall, the flavors of the burger meshed well! Thank you for adding another place for halal goodness. I'm hoping you guys do well and keep quality up.
