I haven't been here in years so we decided on a lunch pickup. I ordered the mini stop with cheese and a side of fries. From what I can remember, I had trouble finishing the regular sized burger. Even though it was lukewarm by the time it got to the office, it was the same as I remember. The veggies were fresh and crunchy and the meat was flavorful . The fries were also well seasoned. It ended up being the right amount of food. read more

Ballad of Sweet Charlotte Oh sweet Charlotte, Grill queen divine, Your sizzle and smoke Are a love song of mine. Buns warm and toasty, Patties that sing, Each bite is a chorus-- Oh, joy that you bring! Through years and through cravings, You've never betrayed, The mushrooms, the cheese, So perfectly laid. So here's to your burgers, Juicy and true, Dear Sweet Charlotte, forever-- I'm loyal to you! read more

Good service, I like the outdoor seating. Shake was delicious. The burger and fries were mediocre. $30 is a lot. I guess I don't understand the hype. Maybe I caught them on an off day ‍ read more

Iconic. Slamming. Like very busy. It's a small dive place with 4 tables inside and more on the patio. None of this matters much because people go here for the amazing burgers. Simple to complex, it is all done well. We had to wait and were accurately told how long. Seriously good burgers. Worth it. read more

Their original location and the best in my opinion. The food is always piping hot and tastes simply amazing. The Cajun seasoning on the fries makes them where you can't stop eating them. The food is pricey, but you get a large amount. The weekly special for $18 is where it's at, as you get the fries included, and I have not been able to finish both the burger and fries so far. Some of the weekly specials have been the best so far, which unfortunately means you cannot get them unless it's the special, as they are not on the standard menu. The staff is always friendly and takes your order within seconds of walking in after greeting you. read more

I'm sad to have to do this, as Tommy's is somewhere I've been going to for years, but last night's experience was so disappointing, that i don't want to go back anymore. I have literally NEVER had anything from Tommy's that I left most of, but I did last night. Normally I leave some fries as I'm too full to eat more. Last night, i left over half the meal, because it was awful. I ordered a Philly Cheese Steak, with Cajun Fries. When it came, the fries were almost cold, and the seasoning was erratic - some had been seasoned, some had no seasoning at all. The sandwich however, was hotter than the surface of the sun, and i couldn't eat it. When something is THAT hot, I can tell that it's been microwaved, an opinion that was confirmed by how tough and chewy the bread was. This was not a fresh piece of bread, it had definitely been microwaved, (i know this from microwaving bread rolls at home, how they get if you go a few seconds over) and judging by the internal temperature of the filling, i think the entire thing was microwaved. Because the bread was so tough and chewy, the filling just squished right out of it when i attempted to take a bite. My husband ordered the Hot Chef Salad, which normally comes with 2 pots of salad dressing, he specified at the counter, that he wanted Ranch. His salad came without any dressing, and when he asked one of the girls who were walking around, she seemed surprised, and brought him 1 of the small pots of Ranch. We have, between us, had this salad dozens of times - IT HAS ALWAYS COME WITH 2 POTS OF DRESSING because it's a big salad. The price of food here is not cheap, and i don't appreciate disappointing food on date night, so i doubt I'll return. Whether they were having an off day, or training a new chef, i can't say, i wasn't made privy to such information. The lady at the counter staff was as good as always though. read more

First time here. Had burgers and fries/onion rings. They were huge and fantastic. Also had a wonderful chocolate milk shake. Only three tables inside so unless you arrive at an off time you won't have a place to sit. I would go back for eat in or take out. read more

Fantastic everything!!! I had the bacon cheeseburger with fries and it was wonderful. The ranch was good also. It was a bit of a wait but that just means it's the place to eat. 5 Stars Would eat there again!!! read more

We have been hearing great things about this place for a while and we're excited to try it...but. The cashier was rude to start off. And the food took 25 minutes longer than they said it would to be ready(almost an hour total). Once we got the food, the fries were already room temperature and had little to no flavor, and were overcooked. The burger was decent but definitely not worth the hype, maybe a 5 or 6/10. I will say the inside of the restaurant was pretty cool, but it was super crammed and there was no room for people to walk in and out. Overall I would not waste my time or money coming here again. read more

Went to the Dimond restaurant & ordered the sweet Charlotte burger. I'm 73 & this was the best burger I have ever had. The service is great & it's a nice place to eat at. 10 stars. read more

Tommy's Burger Stop - The sweet Charlotte burger from Tommy's. So good. - Burgers Near Me - Anchorage, Alaska

When I googled the best burger in Anchorage, I had no idea how right they would be! This was by far the best burger and experience I have had in a long time. Be prepared to order fast when you walk in. The waitress is fast! There are only 3 tables inside. Small patio area but it was raining so I wanted to eat inside. Luckily two young men ate pretty quickly and gave us their table. The burger was hot, fresh and very tasty! The bun was perfect! I chose the cheeseburger and fries with a side of homemade ranch dressing along with an iced tea. I could literally eat here every day! Best. Burger. Ever. No lie. Friendly staff. Five stars! Don't pass this one by! It's worth the price. read more

Food was delicious, my little brother liked it so much he finished before me, I had to go for a second one because it was that good, fries are decent. Service was alright, lady at the front likes to talk a lot, they do have seats outside, since it's summer outside would've been a better choice to sit. read more

It's a really great place. The food is good nice place to sit down and if you can find a place limited seating and just eat your burger or whatever you ordered read more

Some of the best burgers I have eaten are from Tommy's. Anytime I am in Anchorage I must have a burger from here! read more

Tommy's Burger Stop - A burger and an order of onion rings total $38 - Burgers Near Me - Anchorage, Alaska

Every time I'm back home Tommy's is a must stop. I've been going here since I was kid. First place I ate fresh off the plane. Was kind of surprised with the price increases but the quality of food was still there. I had a burger one day and a Philly cheesesteak the next day. 10/10 as usual. And the fries are fire read more

We sat outside as we devoured our huge burgers. We went in a little later in the day, between lunch and dinner, so I don't know if they're typically busy or not but we went right to the counter with no wait and the food came quickly. We visited in the summer and were able to sit outside, but I don't know how they accommodate people in winter when you can't really use the patio. The inside of this joint is tiny but the portions are huge! read more

Went there two days ago & I was standing there for at least 15 minutes behind a guy and the cashier skipped me and helped the four guys behind me. My order was a pickup order and that was unacceptable. The Philly was mediocre and the bread was almost the re warmed it up wasn't fresh and the fries was trash! read more

Very good burgers. Definitely a place to stop if in Anchorage. 4 tables inside a few outside so generally "to go."

Burgers done right!!! Highly recommended by other family members. This was the first time eating there and we dined in at the Dimond location. Everything was clean, comfortable and tastefully decorated. The gentleman that took our order was very pleasant. Our burgers were EXCELLENT; flavorful, fresh and cooked as we had requested. Love that they offer unseeded buns! Hubby is normally very picky about his food and he was impressed. Finally, someone that knows how to make a good burger! We'll be back and will recommend Tommy's to everyone that we know. read more

I will just throw my 5 star rating for this place on top of all the other ones that they got. This place is amazing. Their food is life changing. They do not have indoor dining. They only have outdoor patio dining and carryout. Either way, I recommend you save some time and call your order in ahead. They have an adequate sized private parking lot and upon first look, the place does not look like much. However, that could not be anymore far from the truth. They have some exotic burgers and shake choices and I love exotic so I ordered an Aloha Burger and a Fruity Pebbles shake. I called my order in and got it to-go. It took about 30 minutes for my food to be ready. And they do something that I have never seen before to let you know your order is ready. They write your name on a big white board in the window. I guess so that people are not crowding inside, since it is kind of small in there. The staff there is very friendly, courteous, and helpful. They were really awesome. The food did not disappoint. It was very tasty. I would put the burger up there with the best of them. The shake was awesome too. I am definitely going to try and make it back here. Especially after seeing their Donut Burger that was not on the menu. I highly recommend checking out this local staple. They have grade A service, top notch food, and an amazing atmosphere. Over 500 people cannot be wrong. This place is amazing. You will not be dissapointed. read more

Absolute garbage customer service anymore. I was told 10 minutes on the phone and paid for my meal 15 minutes after ordering and waited another 20 for it to be ready. When I asked for my money back it was suddenly ready to go. Ever since the Dimond location opened the service and quality has gone down dramatically. read more

This is my favorite burger stop in Anchorage. Hands down. Their a cajun style burger joint that goes out of their way to make sure that the food is to your liking. The spices that they put on the fries and the burgers are a combination of a lot of different cajun spices. The fries are one of the many things that keep me coming back because they're so addicting. I still have yet to try their Po-Boy and a few other items on their menu. The burgers are pretty hearty and filling. My favorite is their mini stop burger. It's one of the smallest ones that they have. The service is very attentive and professional. The ladies that work there are really nice and will make sure your needs are taken care of. The building itself is pretty small, so there's very very limited seating inside...but the vibe is packing! You get the sense that their affiliated with the local roller derby scene because of their style and decorations (because they are). You can tell they love Alaska and they show it with pride! Overall, it's a fun place to enjoy a burger at, especially during the summer time when they have seating on the outside. read more

Tommys, a local favorite, a Spenardian staple! Don't forget to lock your car. Tiny interior. Always busy. It's best to call-in your order ahead. I've eaten inside, outside on the patio, and I've taken orders to enjoy at home. The Spenard burger, philly cheese melts, and cheeseburger po boys, are a few of our regular orders. Tommy, is the son, of the owners of Double Musky Restaurant. His family's' popular desserts (pies) are known to be available for purchase. Highly recommend Tommy's for delicious quality burgers and sandwiches. read more

I wrote this review with a heavy heart. Tommy's used to be *the* place for burgers in Anchorage. I've been going to the Spenard location for over a decade, and the drop in quality has been noticable after the pandemic, and especially after they opened their second location on Dimond. Prices tend to be higher than any other burger place in the city and three of the last five burgers I received were undercooked and still pink and cold in the middle. Between the massive drop in quality and consistency and the astronomical spikes in prices, I can no longer recommend Tommy's to any burger afficiando in good faith. Your money is better spent at AK Burgers and Brew or Altura Bistro if you're in search of an excellent burger. Spending nearly $30 for a burger and fries with a shake is insanity. read more

A solid burger spot that boasts a vast menu of different burger varieties. Needless to say, I got the aloha burger, which has pineapple and bbq sauce. It was pretty good, nothing that stood out, but definitely hits burger craving. Just a delicious amalgamation of flavors that satisfies! read more

Tommy's Burger Stop - Aloha Burger - Burgers Near Me - Anchorage, Alaska

Tommy's is a hole-in-the wall that serves delicious Cajun spiced burgers and other sandwiches at good prices. It is tiny with maybe three tables, so don't plan on dining in unless you are prepared to get chummy with the stranger next to you. But the onion rings are great, fries are tasty and the burgers are delicious. Prices are affordable. This place is a keeper! read more

The halibut strips tasted no better than frozen grocery store food, and the petite burger reminded me of something from Carl's Jr. The fries were decent, but unfortunately, they were cold. Overall, the food is overpriced and overrated--I wouldn't recommend it! This building also needs better ventilation according to my Aranet monitor. read more

Fun, eclectic spot in Spenard! The interior is small with 3 tables that seat up to four people each, but they open up fairly quickly. We ordered and hung out for about 20 minutes, right as we sat our food was ready. The burger was delicious with great toppings. All the choices looked delicious! Ended up going with the western style burger with homemade onion rings on top. Super tasty. The only negative was that the bun was a little on the dry side. Will definitely be back to try the cheesesteaks! read more

Tommy's Burger Stop - The Gunslinger - Burgers Near Me - Anchorage, Alaska

Super slowly working our way through the must haves of Anchorage and Tommy's was way up there on that list. After deciding the night before that burgers were the answer to that age old question of 'whats for dinner Thursday night' we gave Tommy's a call. The lady manning the phone was polite, cheerful, and informative - giving us the estimate of 15 minutes for our order to be ready. We headed out the door, got there about 12 minutes later to discover our name was on the whiteboard! They have a nice and simple system of putting the names of those whose orders are ready up on a whiteboard in the front window, definitely effective! After we got the order we rushed home, the smells absolutely took over the cabin of my truck - a plus I think. The burgers were juicy, well seasoned, and come with a great selection of fixings for us at least. Lettuce, tomatoes, pickles, mayo and onion... not much else needed! The buns held up nicely, and both the potato roll and sesame seed bun were great! The fries were a bit of a let down, super duper salty. My wife who loves salt maybe more than me felt they were a bit much, although ketchup made them a lot more palatable. They weren't very crisp either, but this is nitpicking - we still ate them all up, although knowing what we know now we'd probably opt for a small fry to share and not a large! The double musky? Idk what it is, but there's meringue, brownie, pecans(I think?), wedged out in pie form and it was delicious way to end the meal. I'll be back to work my way through the menu, shrimp po-boy I've got my eye on you! read more

I was really excited to try Tommy's Burger Stop, especially because holes in the wall are usually pretty good. Overall, I wasn't blown away by Tommy's. I had the Mini Stop and it tasted alright, nothing special, not even a special house sauce or anything. It comes with lettuce, tomato, pickles, and cheese. I also had the onion rings and they were okay--lots of breading and not much onion to them. I'm glad I stopped at Tommy's but I don't think I'd go out of my way to eat here again. Plenty of parking for this hole in the wall. Four tables available in the patio. read more

Tommy's Burger Stop - The Mini Stop - Burgers Near Me - Anchorage, Alaska

I had just gotten off the plane and I needed food. Tommy's was the recommended first stop. We called in our order from the parking lot per the instructions. When the order was ready, they posted our name on the board. I had the Papa D Burger and onion rings. The burger was amazing. It was bursting with flavor and was cooked perfectly. It had the right balance of heat, where it was flavorful, but not burn your mouth kinda hot. Totally worth the stop! This is the classic old-school burger joint I love! read more

By far the best cheeseburger I've had in Anchorage. I've always said, go to the small hole in the wall for some good food. I got the basic cheeseburger with bacon, mustard, ketchup, lettuce, and tomato's. So juicy and delicious It's a little out of the way from where I live but it's worth the trip every time. read more

I'm sorry but it's just not "it" for me. The coziness inside was nice for me and hubby. The onion rings are decent, fries are basic. We had the Aloha burger and the Gunner burger. Gunner was tastier by far. Aloha burger was a sad fail for me. I had high hopes for this place but they didn't deliver in my opinion. Another thing I noticed was burgers were well done which is not my preference. Honestly burger fi or smash burger waaayyyy tastier!! read more

I went there yesterday and while standing at the register to order a girl came up and said something and started cleaning a short fridge by the register. About 4 or 5 minutes later she finished cleaning and asked what I wanted and l said well four minutes ago l wanted to order food but I had to watch you clean, she said l told you l would be there. l said you should have taken my order first as the customer pays your salary and she told me l could leave as she was refusing servic, and that is the last time I will go there. read more

This business is very constant in their food, flavor and taste! Their service is always on point and the setting is real laid back. My family and I have been to both shops and we love it! We always recommend this burger deliciousness!!! read more

This place is awesome! The neighborhood and look of it from the outside could easily give you second thoughts but it was the highlight of our brief stay in Anchorage! It has eclectic decor that is immaculately clean and gives it a fun whimsical feel. Almost every burger item is Cajun seasoned but not spicy. I had the Stella Bleu Burger and I don't think it could be replicated anywhere else, it was delicious. The fries were crisp and seasoned perfectly. I don't think I'll be back to Anchorage but if I am I'll be sure Tommy's Burger Stop is at the top of my list of things to do/places to visit. read more

This has been one of our favorite burger places in the past, but the last time we ordered we were not thrilled. We ordered a bacon cheeseburger, kids burger, and a mushroom Philly, small order of onion rings and an order of fries. It was $80 and the tip was a mandatory 10%.. the Philly was completely soggy with grease. The burgers were good, but for a family of 3 to get burgers for $80 we will not be going back. Super bummed. read more
