There food is goood, From breakfast to dinner all solid selections. I eat the pancakes combo, and breakfast burrito a lot but also the chili cheese fries and cheese burger combo, and chicken strip dinner. I still have a bunch of things to try. Plussss, customer service is , and their prices are fair and portions are bigger. read more

If you're ok with missing items AND your orders being done incorrectly then this of the place for you. I always order the same thing. Chicken tender dinner and a chili cheeseburger combo. The ALWAYS mess it up. First time there was no chili on my burger, then my combo was missing the fries and now they didn't add ranch despite me asking specifically for it. There's always some new excuse for their ineptitude. Should've gone to McDonald's across the street. Imagine being worse than McDonald's... read more

It was 11:40pm and the line was around the block and instead of coming out telling the cars that they are closed they waited until you got up to the window read more

When I came to order two separate orders they complained about taking the order. The lady that took the order went to break right after she said finish at window. There was now a new man saying he didn't know what the orders were. After taking a few minutes they charged me for both orders on my card when they just asked and specifically said no. read more

I ordered the cheeseburger special. The burger I had was fresh and the sauce on the burger was very tasty. One thing I really loved is the seasoning salt on the fries. The meal came out to $9 even, which is not bad considering a meal at a big chain will cost over $11. I've only gone through the drive thru so I can't comment on the inside. There is a bullet proof window that you pay and get your food through so it can be a little off putting. However, I understand it is for their safety and that is most important. Overall, I really love the food here. The gentlemen who took my order was very nice and made sure to give me yellow Chile's. I've only had the cheeseburger, but my dad said the ham and cheese grilled cheese is very good as well. read more

The food was good and it didn't make me sick. The place is a little run down and the bathroom was gross.

You can't go wrong with Tams! The burritos and burgers are the bomb! Try it and you will see

Never again! Ordered bacon burger special and was given old hard crunchy fries. They were so burnt that my baby thru the fries down. I took them back inside and let the manager know & he tells the workers to give me fresh fries and what i get?....soggy, bland, mushy french fries! All for $13! No thank you! I will not be spending my money here anymore read more

So along with Louis Burgers, Tams's is a staple in my hometown. I lived literally a 10 minute walk from here my entire life so I've seen where it used to be to what it's become. Pros: LOTS of food, lol. My dad said that's how they stay in business, they give you too much of everything you order. Also, the breakfast plates are great and very filling. Same with the dinner plates, especially my fave the chicken strip dinner with fries, a salad and a hot butter roll, sooo good! Great shakes too, so thick it may as well be ice cream. Cons: They raise the price of stuff like every 2 weeks. Do they really think we don't notice 0_o, lol? Also, some of the food can be bland and blah. It's like some items have gotten worse over time, idk if there was a new cook or what, but the pastrami really took a hit. It's just flavorless and rubbery to me, I have to add a lot of pickles and mustard if I get it, which i rarely do now whenever I visit home. So yeah, bullet proof glass is to be expected round those parts, so don't be scurred, lol. There have been a few isolated insidents at and around Tam's though. If you are scary just get your food to go, or don't go super late. I like the joint, not the best it could be, and def past it's prime, but overall really good food. read more

What a waste of money, time and appetite. Came here looking for a decent ALL MEAT burrito. However, when I received my order my burrito was skinny, small, and flavorless. In addition, this burrito came with two packs of ketchup and no napkins ( who eats a steak burrito with ketchup?). I was very disappointed with this place. read more

Very rude they kept hanging up on my face and and wasn't letting me order only let me order one things and they hung up in my face

Fucking gross and disgusting. I usually always get a ham breakfast burrito with extra cheese and an extra SIDE of salsa but today they gave me a disgusting, cold burrito drenched in salsa, non-melted cheese with a lovely extra ingredient inside that was not asked for...a brownish-red hair (my hair is black as fuck so it definitely wasn't mines!)! If I wouldn't have cut the burrito in half, I would have never seen the hair...actually, the burrito was already falling apart because it had soooooo much salsa in it! I asked for an extra SIDE of salsa! NOT for the burrito to be drenched in it. I am sooo disappointed because those burritos were my fave but I'll just go to the Tam's on Long Beach Blvd. for now on. Grossssss! read more

Yes its in the hood. Yes there are bullet proof windows. Yes its sketchy depending on the time your there but hey its totally worth it all. I always come from the bay to la and this is my first stop every time. The tuna melt is to die for. Have tried many but none compare. read more

Great food for a bargin. I've been going here for a long time and they've never let me down. I think the bad reviews are because of high expectations for a hole in the wall place. It's not perfect but it's not bad either. The burgers are big, there're very generous with fries, and every meal is made fresh and served hot. If you're afraid of going into the hood to eat, then they have plenty of other locations for you. Overall, it's a good eat. Give it a chane read more

Some things never change and sometimes that's a good thing. With Tam's you know exactly what to expect hood, no frills, just good indulgent food. I will drive across town passing a number of places to get some chili cheese fries. You can't go wrong with anything off the menu. read more

First time here and I'm going to have to give this place five stars based on their speedy service and their tasty Asada Burrito! I ordered two burritos for me and my friend and they came out within a few minutes it was pretty fast. The burritos were huge and full of meat. The meat was very flavorful and their salsa was also pretty good. read more

So far this is the only Tams that has never did me wrong I well always come here today I'm getting the bacon and egg omelette

This is definitely my favorite Tam's...trust me you won't be disappointed. Here are my faves...Pastrami Burger, chili cheese fries and fruit punch. The customer service is great!!! Sometimes there's a line in the drive through but trust me it's worth the wait...the line usually moves rather quickly and your food is HOT and FRESH!! read more

Tam's Burgers - Pastrami Burger - Burgers Near Me - Compton, California

I eat their burgers but like the breakfast best, I get three huge pancakes,4 bacon, two eggs, hash browns, and coffee for under $10. for that the price can't be beat. If you are a grits fan this is not for you. Located just off Central @ Rosecrans, come and be patient as lines can be long. Entrance is off Central @ 142nd but you must exit onto Rosecrans west. So be careful, there is also a bus stop there so drivers beware. My food there has always been hot an my order correct, they have great pastrami sandwiches with the meat piled high. However ensure its is fully cooked before you leave. read more

New owner? This place is garbage now. They cut back on the fries n chicken! Place sucks balls. Too expensive

Great Breakfast Burritos ... IF you're in the area, it's definitely worth your time and money!

I have been going to Tam's Burgers for over twenty years and their food, their specials and the experience of getting a good quality meal is still AMAZING! read more

I got killed here eating a #5 or i would have given it 6 stars. I should have just had the fries with Game. Dang it

I just ordered the most flavorless Pastrami of my life!! The meat had zero flavor .. Like it had been boiled in water twice and the bread was hard and I was unable to chew it. I think the bread was in the microwave too long. I am seriously disappointed as I had to pay 11.00 for something I just can't eat!! SMH!!!!! #NeverAgain They got two stars for giving a metric from of fries .. Other thank that read more

If giving 0 stars was an option I would give it. I went to Tam's, ordered a burger and found hair in my food. My grandma also had a similar experience, she found a clamp in her burrito. Definitely disappointed and WILL NOT eat here ever again. read more

I ordered a breakfast burrito with bacon, the menu showed breakfast burrito w/ meat 5.49. The lady quoted me 7.71 I asked how it became 7.71 when the menu says 5.49. She had a very bad attitude, shecwalked away and another lady came to the window and said, "the menu said without meat". I said that is not what it says, she apologized and said it should say without meat, she did not honor the price on the menu. Spoke some words to the people behind her in Spanish. Apparently Tam's has a new crew or has sold the business to them. Customer service is very poor. read more

This is the infamous location where musical overlord Sugar Knight "allegedly" and "intentionally" ran over another man, his friend, murdering him with his truck. The pastrami burrito allows chef to showcase his Haute/Californian roots, while paying respect to traditional Mexican/Jewish cuisine. read more

Can, we say YUCK!!! This place is horrible. I ordered a chicken grilled salad. The grilled chicken looked friend and taste old. I asked for the dressing on the side and they included the dressing on the salad. All I can say is WOW!!!. Not a good place for a salad. Will not try this place ever again. read more

If Yelp was available in 1986, I'd be the Supreme Duke of this place. I've been eating here since I was old enough to drive. I remember when you could hear the person's order behind you in the drive through through the speaker at the window. Glad they fixed that. Anyway, the chili cheese fries are already great. Hamburgers are thin but well put together with lettuce, tomato, and thousand island dressing. The drive through wait is ALWAYS long but worth the wait to avoid going inside with the bullet proof glass. read more

Nastiest chili cheese fries I ever had in my life the steak taco was so bland it had no seasoning or taste I will not come back ever again learn how to make chili tht actually is worth buying not taste like dog food I cldnt even it them waste of money. read more

Best burger/burrito place in all of Compton. Prices has been steady going up the last few years but Has everything you could want in a fast food place. Best thing is the pastrami chili cheese fries. read more

Wow I ordered a grilled chicken salad.... It was huge but what a waste!!!! Fries where bland and soggy, chicken was burnt and flavorless, and the salad was white looking dried lettuce on the most part. Felt insulted when I saw my order! First and last time going there..... read more

They have new staff they are terrible and lazy as for the original staff they are great, speedy service...

Went to this location solely due to the fact that Suge Knight killed someone by running over them and I saw the security video. The drive thru window is a turn style even during the day which speaks towards the perceived safety of the location. Lots of food for the price though, I will admit. Delicious breakfast burritos and legendary killing spot for Suge Knight. What's not to like ? read more

Worst place ever, I ordered my food through the drive thru & this Hispanic with a accent took my order rude as mother$&!?. Not sure if he is the manager or what ever he is, he needs to work on his service. He got me so mad that I was talking smack to him . He is always rushing people like really .. smh read more

Burgers are good. I do not know about anything else. Tam's Burgers is known for their traditional burger sold in the hood!

My food was made to order and in a timely manner. I was impressed so much I'll be back to this location and I live on the other side of town! Keep up the good work read more

This one of the best burgers of Southern California, the workers are very friendly and helpful as well I've been coming to this place for years and I wouldn't change it for nothing lol the fries are always fresh and so as the burger buns read more

Nasty bland food. I mean who messes up on fries? Chili cheese fries are disgusting and overly pack with red chili sauce.
