    Original hamburger

    We were cruising through the quiet streets of town as my husband waxed nostalgic about his college days--back when this now-quaint town was even more modest, if you can believe it. As memories swirled, the name Tom's popped into our heads like an old favorite tune, and we knew we had to stop in. From the moment we stepped inside, we were struck by the charm of the place: sparkling clean, well-kept, and exuding small-town warmth. The atmosphere was welcoming, the kind that makes you want to linger a little longer. Staff greeted us with bright smiles and attentive service--quick, courteous, and genuinely kind. I ordered the mushroom burger, and let me just say--this was not your average roadside meal. The burger was perfectly cooked, tender and bursting with savory flavor. A generous helping of sautéed mushrooms and gooey melted cheese blanketed the patty, while crisp green lettuce, sweet vine-ripened tomato, and snappy red onions added the perfect contrast of freshness and texture. It was, without question, the best mushroom burger I've ever tasted. And those onion rings? Divine. Golden, thick-cut, and shatteringly crisp on the outside, with tender-sweet onion inside that melted in your mouth. Each bite was a satisfying crunch of perfection. The portion was large enough for the two of us to share comfortably--though we both secretly wished we didn't have to. My husband went with the classic original burger and couldn't stop raving about it. Juicy, flavorful, and cooked to perfection, it reminded him of the kind of burgers that made diners legendary. If you're ever passing through this town and consider yourself a burger enthusiast, Tom's is an absolute gem you won't want to miss.

    Half pound burger on French bun, shoestring French fries.

    Got to go to Tom's!! At first I did not want to visit due to the menu being formatted in an unfamiliar style, but then I decided not to be deterred by the creativity. (The burger menu is written A-Z and you need to read it carefully to decide which style burger you want). I'm glad I did not stay away. The service was very nice & took the review from four to five stars. The waitress was super busy but she hustled from table to table being so sweet to each person. I had the big long 1/2 pound burger, which is served on a long bun with all the fixings. I also had French fries. I wanted a shake too but they did not have that available. The burger was EXCELLENT!! It was cooked just right, very hot and all the toppings were in perfect balance to highlight the juicy hot flavor of the burger. The fries were very good too. Just your basic shoestring style, very little salt so you can add more if you like. They were served fresh & hot with ranch but there is ketchup on the table as well. Great experience at Tom's, thanks!!!

    The burger with the bacon and roasted chili pepper in it.  Great stuff.

    I haven't lived in Lompoc since the 80's but I'd go to Tom's with my parents once in a while when visiting through the years. Somewhere along the line I forgot about it for some reason -maybe because of the location. But, I was in town recently visiting the siblings and I thought I'd look to see if Tom's was still around and was glad to see it was. I got the burger that my parents always got which is the one with the bacon and grilled green chili (ortega?) in it as did my sister. Her husband was intrigued by the burger with the sauerkraut in it so he gave that a try. We all loved it. Picked up the half order of fries and onion rings. I remember one of the things about Tom's was the gigantic full order of fries. Everything was great and I'm sure we'll be back when we're in town.

    After a brief absence from Yelp, I am back! Today, I went to Tom's Burgers. The home of the educated burger. They offer choices from A to Z. Tom's is a large diner with a hometown feel. I ordered the cheeseburger and fries.. Delish! For dessert, I had a cup of coffee with a side of friendship. Whether you order a chicken Cobb salad, clam chowder, a burger, or breakfast, you won't be disappointed. I promise you will leave with a new friend, feel happy, have a full tummy, and still have money in your pocket. Enjoy your alphabetical burger experience, and please look for Jakob. He is the artist in the kitchen. He also has a great attitude towards life. I'm glad to be back in circulation. Signing off for now, Nanu Nanu.

    I knew I was in for a treat when the waitress confided in me "we have very good ranch". Me and my kids all throughly enjoyed our burgers. "Possibly the best burger I've ever had!" One of them declared and I have to agree! A rare case where the food looks better than the photos. Even the gum ball machine (normally dry and flavorless) was a hit!
