Heck yeah I recommend this burger joint! As long as they are consistent with the way the burgers are cooked and the tallow fries! Oh my gahhh!!! I look forward to going back again! I may have to bring my own freshly sliced serrano peppers to stuff in my burger bun! read more

Tommy's Burger Co - Tallow fries!!! - Burgers Near Me - Richmond, California

I LOVE THIS PLACE! I always order them on DoorDash, but I need to try these at the restaurant because it's sooo goood when it gets delivered. I can't imagine what it tastes like fresh! These guys know how to cook a good burger! My husband loves them too! read more

I walked in on an 85 degree day to get a burger, and there were two guys beyond the counter slinging burgers onto a hot grill. My single burger with everything (lettuce, tomato, onions, boss sauce) plus jalapenos was perfect - the burger perfectly charred and smashed, the jalapenos perfectly crisp, the ratio of vegetables to meat perfectly adjusted. The hot stayed hot and the cold stayed cold, even after a ten minute walk back to my house. A legit burger joint in the 'hood is everything. Richmond is a food town and I'm tired of pretending it's not. read more

Where's the meat? If you are spending $13.50 on a burger should be able to taste it . The patty was so thin I had to take the other piece of bread off . Definitely not paying $17 + for a double . Shoulda went to Johnny boys smh If fries n drink were included woulda been a fair price but they want another 5.50 for a thin burger patty I'd rather eat at a fast food joint than this place . I don't see them being open for business very long maybe by end of year read more

Tommy's Burger Co - Thin burger patty had to take bread off couldn't taste the meat - Burgers Near Me - Richmond, California

Let me tell you something! I love this place. I stop there waaaay too often. I wish they would open other locations. I've gotten everything on the menu. Nothing was bad. I prefer getting my loaded fries from here vs. In-N-Out. The onion rings are nice and hot, lightly salted with that side of ranch. The burger is always on point! I would bring a drink because the sodas are a bit pricey. There are tables for dining in. The music is nice, and so are the staff. The inside is nicely painted. Bringing an old school vibe. I like it. The owner also has a BBQ spot in Hercules, I must try. read more

Tommy's Burger Co - Double bacon smash burger - Burgers Near Me - Richmond, California

Smash burger, smash burger, make me a smash. Finally getting a chance to leave a review for the new Tommy's Burger Co in Richmond off San Pablo Ave. Grateful as always for spots emerging in this area servicing the good good. Tommy's Burger Co focuses on only a few items, and executing a few items really well. Located near Factory Bar (essentially across the street), we grabbed a few burgs to-go with street parking adjacent to the restaurant. We ordered the Tallo Frys, the Single Burger with Cheese, and the Double Burger with Cheese. There's limited tables indoors, and the burgers do hold up nicely for to-go service. Friendly service, cool vibes. Great meat quality and taste, a bit on the salty side seasoning-wise, but super solid nonetheless. Love the packaging (think elevated fast food), juicy ingredients, and fair pricing. Oh and that sesame seed bun with 'Boss sauce'...nice touch. Would love to come back over the next holiday break to try the fried chicken sando and onion rings. Yum! read more

I love this place. It's a cute little burger joint that prides itself on putting out quality burgers to order. The fries are my favorite b/c they are fried in beef fat. What could be better? The staff is very friendly and since I stop by at least once a week they know my face and treat me so well. I am always greeted with a smile. Give Tommy's a try, you won't be disappointed. read more

Tommy's Burger Co - Single cheeseburger with raw onions and their famous Boss sauce. - Burgers Near Me - Richmond, California

I stopped in earlier to get the skinny. Then I came back later with my family. These guys have a solid background with the barbecue place in Hercules, so I got high hopes for their burgers here, too. Burgers are gooooood! They're put together with boss sauce, which is slightly spicy, but not too much, even for my tender tongue. Even Sara who has high standards in burgers smiled as she gave approval to the owners--and that was for lettuce-wrapped burger due to her gluten allergy. Fries are good too! They're cooked with beef tallow rather than vegetable oil. I expected greasy grossness, but didn't notice anything like that--just good ol' fashioned french fried potatoes, skins and all. But if beef tallow ain't your bag, you can get sweet potato fries or onion rings, which are both cooked with regular ol' vegetable oil. Friendly and knowledgeable service--they answered all my questions. Clean facilities. Bathroom is clean, with a diaper changing table. Free parking on the street. Easy access to and from the freeway, ice cream dessert across the street, can't ask for a heck of a lot more than that... And there's other nice amenities nearby in this up-and-coming 2 blocks of Richmond's North & East neighborhood. e.g., tacos, ice cream, cocktails, thai food, coffee shop, sandwich shop, etc....! If you choose to give a thumbs-up or not, I hope you found my review helpful! read more

Tommy's Burger Co - double cheese burger & fries and single with onion rings - Burgers Near Me - Richmond, California

The burger just didn't have any flavor. I've been there twice. The fries were good though. I was really hoping to be impressed cause the reviews are great. The first time I went I said let me give it another try. Waited a month. Same. I won't be back. There's better smash burgers and burger joints in Richmond. It is what's it is. Maybe my palate is different lol. Cause I don't even like the bbq spot. It's not my type of bbq. Good luck to the owners tho. Looks like other people enjoy it. I wish I did. read more

Tommy's Burger Co - Menu as of 11/19/25 - Burgers Near Me - Richmond, California

Saw this new burger place opened across from the Factory Bar, had to try. Good burger from hubby. I went with the fried chic sandwich which tasted great. The slaw wad vinegar based and delish. If I had to nitpick, I would say that the chicken (which was juicy and tender) had too much batter for my liking. Overall I plan to come back for more! read more

Tommy's Burger Co - Fried chic sandwich and cheeseburger - Burgers Near Me - Richmond, California

I was craving a smash burger and this local joint hit the spot! The food was good -- I ordered a single smash cheeseburger with bacon and fries, and everything tasted fresh and well made. My only knock was the pricing.... With bacon ($2.50), the cheeseburger came out to about $15 and the fries were $4.55, which feels a bit high for the area. Overall, I enjoyed the meal, but for Richmond specifically, the prices are on the higher end for a simple burger and fries. I would still come back to support my local business! But just more as an occasional treat. read more

We had their smash burger and the ingredients were fresh, flavor was simple yet tasty. The 5 stars goes to the tallow fries-- deeFREAKINlicious. read more

The burger tasted amazing. The fries were also amazing. The people working were welcoming and friendly. My burger came out pretty quickly, though i could see things getting a little slow if it got busy. That said, it's not perfect and I almost gave 4 stars but couldn't bring myself to tarnish the perfect rating, so 5 it is! My biggest gripe is the price. After tossing in a few dollars in the tip jar, my total was over $30 for a double bacon cheeseburger combo. This wasn't a $30 burger. The whole point of smash burgers is that you can use slightly cheaper quality meat and you won't be able to tell the difference compared to better meat as much as you would with a more traditional non-smashed burger. At least that's my experience. And when you pay $30 for a burger, you enter 'great burger' territory where the star of the show is the meat and the way it's seasoned and prepared. And this just isn't in that league. The burger started falling apart and at the end I had a big chunk of patty still remaining which I ate carefully to really get the taste of the burger without anything else and yes it was great! But not on that next level. I didn't finish the remainder of the meat patty and I think that says a lot. It was super delicious with the cheese and bacon and the special sauce they use, but once I got to just meat, it was fine but nothing super special. If you don't mind the price, this is a great place to go get an incredible burger. You're supporting local people just starting out which is a great thing! Enjoy! read more

Really good burgers. I ordered from doordash and was able to get 2 double patty smash burgers and loaded fries for around $26 dollars with a BOGO burger coupon. Pick up was easy and food was ready when I arrived. Staff was also friendly. The burger and fries were very delicious. Price of the items for me were a bit steep, however, I would definitely come back. read more

The fries are wicked good -- enough that I didn't even think of adding some ketchup until I was already halfway through them. The burger, meanwhile, has a texture that's every bit as good as its flavor: each bite starts with the soft body of the uncrushed bun before getting to the solid, delicious core. Definitely one of the best burgers I've had in a while; I'm looking forward to sampling other parts of the menu the next time I'm there. read more

One of the best burgers out here in Richmond CA. What sets Tommy's Burger Co apart from any other burger spot I've been too is the quality in ingredients and flavor. Despite it being a busy full house the service was great and food came out pretty fast. A perfect small hole in the wall that allows you to sit down and enjoy a nice burger.

This spot is a little small on the inside, but still very clean and cool with the tattoo parlor style art. Food was top notch! The smash burgers with the boss sauce was amazing with great flavors. They even made mine a lettuce wrap with green leaf lettuce, which held all the ingredients in place. The fries were beef tallow and were the best I had ever had. The service was friendly and fast! My husband and I will definitely return! read more

New spot on San Pablo. I ordered the Fried Chicken sandwich and the single hamburger. The Fried Chicken joint was flavorful and cooked well. It was a decent size also. Love the hamburger, seasoned well, the sauce was a nice touch also. I recommend. read more

Honestly save your money. Wanted to give this place a try and I did but 15$ for just a burger & no fries or drink is outrageous. And the food could've been better. More seasoned or even a better portion. I'd rather try some where else then this place . It sucks & prices are ridiculous read more

Cheeseburger was delicious. Hot and well seasoned fries. Customer service was good. Place looked pretty clean. But... I did find a long hair in my burger. That's why 4/5 stars. Y'all need some hairnets. :) read more

Little hole in the wall that just opened in Richmond on SanPablo Ave. My boyfriend and I love trying new burger joints and this spot was nice to try. I got a single patty cheeseburger with jalapeños and my boyfriend got the same but a double patty and we both shared chili cheese fries which to our surprise was made with skinny 'regular' style fries vs a crinkle cut fry. The burgers had good flavor and the service was friendly. The restaurant is small so I believe there were no restrooms at least for the customers so just a heads up. read more

I ordered through DoorDash so this review is simply based on the quality of the food and not the actual location or service. I'll update the review once I go. OMFG probably the BEST burger I've had since living in the East Bay. It was still delicious and flavorful despite it being delivered. I've gotten burgers delivered from Al's and smokehouse and although good, it's not the same as eating at the place, but this burger, those fries were 1000/10! Unfortunately I didn't take a picture of my food because I devoured it after the first bite! It's sorcery what they do to those burgers, I tell ya! I had to leave a review! Tommy, whatever you're doing, keep it up my man!!!! read more

If you are in the mood for a quality smash burger this is a great spot !!! Excited you opened in the neighborhood and just across the street from the factory bar. Ingredients are definitely good quality and fresh. I had a double smash burger and my partner tried the chicken sandwich. Chicken is thigh, and they give you a huge piece. We love your bbq spot, and would love a non fried chicken option if you expand the menu (smoked chicken maybe?!) Also very clean and some inside seating. read more

Very good food, they even bring it to your table. The chilli fries are amazing, it's a must! I just wanted more beverage options, like lemonade and juices. Other than that, it was a good experience. read more

My husband and I had their double smashed burgers yesterday, and we are back today for more!! Such a gem to have this spot here!

20/10. Everything was good. We had chili cheese fries, a hot dog with all the trimmings, fries, and a smash burger with bacon added. Services was great and fast. They take the time to provide answers for all the questions we had. Will revisit ASAP. read more
