When I first originally moved into the area I was excited to find this place. After years of coming here I have since become a little disappointed in their customer service and the quality of the food. Everything normally taste pretty good. Until my experience yesterday. I called my order in to order a fried zucchini and cheeseburger. The zucchinis are clearly frozen out of a bag zucchinis. The cheeseburger is the typical quarter pound burger it was about 10 inches thick with nothing but lettuce and other toppings. The bun was dry. Or I come back here? If I do it will only be for the chicken wings and chili cheese fries. Other than that I am no longer excited about this place. read more

I raised my daughter on poly burger breakfast. The owner is a real cool dude who loves the community he serves . I came here every day during the pandemic and nothing changed . It can get busy at times but thats also a testament to how many people eat there read more

The foods are overpriced and not worth the cost. Alone, a large drink is about four dollars for a medium at McDonalds.

Oh the memories!!! For all my fellow Jackrabbit Alumni, Poly Burger will forever be known as TOMY'S BURGER. Tomy's holds a dear place in my heart, This is where all the high school kids used to come and grab food before and after school for a cheap price. As I recall this was also a frequent hang out spot where kids would often get into trouble, never me of course lol.... Location- on the corner in a plaza about a block walking distance from Poly. Parking- is readily available in the plaza's parking lot, watch for pedestrians that often walk or ride their bikes randomly around the parking lot. Atmosphere- Fair warning, this isn't a 5 start joint, heck they barely started accepting debt cards here, so don't expect anything fancy. There are about 5 tables inside and about 5 or so available outside for dinning in, depending on the time of day you might want to take your order to go because it's not in the best of neighborhoods. Food- French Fries- to this day probably one of the best fries i've had. Something about the seasoning salt you add yourself and the fries being served in a paper bag that you shake to mix the seasoning salt just makes me feel all warm and toasty inside. Don't forget your side of ranch to dip your fries. Chicken Teriyaki here is also one of my favorites, I practically grew up on that stuff while in high school. It normally comes with rice and salad, but you can opt to swap for french fries. I normally get no rice and all toss salad or if I'm feeling dangerous a combination of 1/2 salad and 1/2 french fries. Soft serve Ice Cream is a must if you can squeeze it in, and for about $1.75 you gotta make room. Definitely a childhood favorite... makes me miss the good ol days when coming here. read more

Really tasty food. The cheeseburger meal is delicious and you can extra season your fries (they have the seasoning on the counter). The portion size is good and the chicken nuggets are nice and crispy! I would highly recommend if you're looking for a tasty burger that's more traditional in style. read more

Price is very good for the food. Portions are good & milkshakes are fire. Large fries is a whole back, I come back often!

we ordered the bacons double cheese burger, onion rings, FF and 12 wings. The food was absolutely amazing with huge servings! The customer service is outstanding ! This restaurant did not disappoint read more

Clean and efficient. The buger was great and simple. Fries not soggy. Owner was courteous. You wait outside and order when called. read more

Poly Burgers - Great simple burger! - Burgers Near Me - Long Beach, California

Probably the worst burger and fries Iv ever had, the fries were soggy and had no seasoning. The burger bun was soggy and was pulling apart when I grabbed it. And the soda was flat. Horrible horrible. read more

I came here to get some chili cheese fries and a burger and it was very basic. Your better off making a burger at home and the chili for the fries must have been a week or more old because it was very dry and dark. Also the bacon on the burger had a very weird taste to it. N E Ways 0/10 would not recommend. read more

Stay away from this place , I ordered a steak sandwich and the meat was spoiled and I tried to tell the owner/worker about the issue and he was very rude and said I was wrong. read more

Amazing place , reasonable prices, in business for a long time ! Loved their grilled chicken sandwich.

I've only been here a few times, but the food is great, the customer service is great and the malted milkshakes are awesome!

After having Cambodian food at La Lune Restaurant, my friends decided, let's get ice cream. I don't know if I was or was not feeling it for ice cream but I saw they had malts. When I ordered, I asked if they take cards and the guy said yes but they charge $0.40. Dammit, a small malt is $1.75 and that will now be $2.15. Let me order a small malt because I'm stuffed. Chocolate, strawberry or vanilla? Wow, I didn't know you get flavors with them. I picked Strawberries and someone ordered a medium shake and someone else had dipped cone ice cream. Malts and shakes were up but the size difference is rediculous. Small is a small but a medium should be called a large. Mine actually has real strawberries in it. Is that cool or what? They ran out of cones so they asked if it was alright to serve the ice cream in a cup with the chocolate on top. Sure, why not. ha ha. Well, it's a cool treat just to get when around this area but i doubt the food is really good here after the meal we just had. Next time I'm making sure I have cash if I stop here for desserts next time. read more

Born X Raised On the Turf This is a Long Beach OG. Back then this was Tomys and because all us poly students would basically live here it was renamed to Poly Burger. I use to live on New York & Linden. My family is still in this area and a lot of the homies. Skating up and down the hood you needed to fuel up. We didn't have much so when we had that money we'd be here. use to end up costing $1.25 with some ranch. Take the seasoning salt put it in the bag and shake. Take some ketchup and mix it with the ranch and you gone!!!! The homies and I would share this. Carb up for the day and continue. Thank you for these memories. They also got legit good burgers and bomb pastrami. If your ever in the hood stop by and get you a bag of fries. It ain't nothing crazy to you. It's a Long Beach thang. read more

I grew up eating here when it used to be Tommy's. When I was a kid we would do laundry across the parking lot and get fries and onion rings afterwards. I say this with pure honesty, nothing has changed except the name and the seasoning for the fries is no longer tethered to the counter. LOL. The food still tastes exactly the same. Portions are still massive. If you're looking to try this place don't come at night or when schools out. It's chaos and may be dangerous. There have been more than a few incidences in the surrounding areas. No joke, be careful when the sun sets. Their chili cheese fries are pretty good, but with pastrami it's delicious!! Omg it's my new discovery and will probably be why I check in here more often. read more

I love this place tommy u rock best burger place hands down in LB.... Long Beach poly supporter since day one we love u tommy

I saw some nice reviews and decided to try this place out while I was out and about Sunday. Ordered the teriyaki chicken with the salad and it was okay. The bits of chicken were small, but you get ALOT of it. The staff was friendly, the price is definitely budget friendly, the parking lot wasn't bad, and you get your food rather quickly. I only waited a few minutes and there were quite a few people who ordered before me. Definitely a nice place to swing by for some fast food. read more

Don't come here that often but when I do, they never disappoint your girl. Couldn't go hard because I'm changing my diet, so I just got a chicken salad yum!!! Thanks guys for hooking me up read more

Fantastic small business in the area! The food is good, though sometimes it can be inconsistent by being charged for extras.

A friend from work rec this place to me. Love the burgers and fries. You do have to season the fries yourself but I love that cause you get them exactly how you want! No more over or under salted! The cashier girls here are so sweet! New favorite spot!!! read more

Everytime I'm in the city this is my go to! Consistency is key and Tommys(Poly Burgers) always comes through! My kids already know when we visit So.Cal we are going straight to Tommys. Love this place!! read more

I like going to Poly Burger; the food is cheap and the fries are delicious! Everyone here are so nice too.

First time eating at this place today and I gotta say its disgusting. The burger had no flavor and smells really bad inside.

The place is a lil sketch but honestly food is so BOMB ! I would recommend calling ahead and ordering & pay once arrive for faster service (: read more

Every time I come here I ask for my fries crispy & they never are, always wiggly & greasy , no longer coming back how hard is it to leave fries in the fryer for 2 minutes longer read more

Been coming here for years.. since a kid! Always enjoyed the food. I know its a hole in the wall kind of spot...but as i was ordering there was a huge roach crawling on the wall right behind the cashier. This was during the day... I can only imagine the infestation at night. Sorry, but I wont be coming back. read more

Oh Poly Burgers (it was called "Tomy's" back when I was still in high school)... You were probably the reason for my on/off diet during my teenage years--- I, and probably any other former Jackrabbit out there, simply cannot resist your fries! (And for ~$2 a pop, how can anyone say no!?) The fries here are the biggest hit ever, probably the best you'll ever have. I remember my Political Science teacher referring to the fries here as "bullet fries" because of the stereotype that you might get shot while you place your order in a neighborhood such as this. LOL! After I graduated, I would secretly hope my sister would ask me to pick her up so that we can get some of these infamous "bullet fries". The staff is always nice, despite how annoyingly busy and ghetto it can get in here. I have a somewhat embarrassing but funny story to share with all you yelpers---- I would always put a lot of seasoned salt on my fries (since all the salt would fall to the bottom) so one day the owner of Poly Burger got confused to find me shaking the salt shaker for so long... He then tried to see what was wrong with the salt shaker and to his dismay when he looked inside my bag of fries, he saw that it was DRENCHED in season salt. "No more! You kill yourself" he said! LMAO. read more

I have been coming here for many years. My kids love their fries. Unfortunately, I will not be going back again. The Asian guy, who maybe the owner or manager was very rude! I almost asked for my money back! I noticed all the usual workers are not there. Perhaps, he was rude to them! It's trying times right now for many due to the Pandemic... however, it's no excuse to treat customers badly especially when they are nice! I will pray for this guy that whatever has him in a bad mood shall pass. I will no longer recommend this place or will I return again! I go to places based on the taste of food and descent customer service! Customer service today was a negative 5 stars!!! read more

Mmm mmm Good! Been coming here for almost a decade now since it was called Tomy's. The french fries topped with their seasoning is great, burger's delicious, and they also make a mean beef/chicken teriyaki salad. If you're in nearby, definitely give this place a try! read more

I like to live dangerously. Sometimes that means playing Wii without the safety strap, other times it means eating a burger in a place you feel you could get mugged at any moment. That's this place. I've been here several times and 9 out of 10 times there's someone shady outside, or someone crazy inside. But that's part of the experience here. The food here is good. It's whatever you'd expect from a mom & pop burger spot. Prices are also reasonable, and that right there is reason enough for me to keep coming back. This place is right next to Poly High School so I wouldn't recommend coming here during the after school rush. I made that mistake once. Never again. read more

THIS WILL FOREVER BE KNOWN TO ME AS TOMYSSS! If you don't know then you're too young.... Everything is greasy so therefore delicious. I would cry sometimes because it was so good. I owe thanks to Tomy's for so many memories whenever my friends and I ditched class just to chow down on fries, chili cheese fries, bacon cheeseburgers, ice cream and whatever else that is on the menu. read more

They need to update the photo about the menu prices because it's inflation and things have gone up by $2. I didn't take a picture because I was too hungry and just got my regular fries. I was going to upgrade but it's not in my budget yet to go do a combo meal. The fries are always off the hook :) read more

I've been coming here since I was in high school (and it was still called Tomy Burger). I drop by every now and then to get my fix! Delicious, juicy burgers, salty, large cut fries, greasy grilled cheese sandwiches, and chicken teriyaki grilled to perfection! Mmm. The owner is a nice, friendly guy and he seemed surprised when I told him I graduated college already. Time sure flies! Regardless of the time that has gone by, the food remains consistently good. Definitely avoid the rush right after school, but other than that, swing right by! read more

This used to be "Tomy's Burger" when I first moved to California roughly 8 years ago and up until I went to high school at Poly. Regardless of the change of name, the food has always been amazing in terms of the rich flavor and the cheap price. Yeah, it may be in the hood, but to be honest, the best type of food are the ones deep in the neighborhood. It's symbolic of the culture. Poly Burger definitely is famous for their large and cheap fries. But my favorite burger has to be the steak burger; hands down, there is no other fast food joint that can make it like them--succulent steak, baby! Yeah it's greasy and I am fully aware of potential arteries clogging action, but for this one food item, I'll take that risk. The place is extremely tiny and it's located by a high school, so it's packed usually after school (2 PM - 4 PM) = avoid at all cost. There is no bathroom because from years of observations, the kids overcrowd the area for 5/7 days and these teens would tag and destroy the bathrooms. Just like high school. Ah-huh. The staffs are relatively nice and admirably patient--I don't know how they can put up with the demands of teens the way they do. Go for the fries--it's what they're ultimately best known for. The burgers are recommended. The steak sandwich is a must. read more
