Review Tommy's Original Hamburger - Los Angeles

My pops brought me here a couple of times before a Dodgers game. This time, I brought my son before his first game, and he loved it. I don't like to eat these anymore but they are so good!

Grew up with Tommy's. A little shocked how expensive they have become. This is the original Tommy's, food is great but like everything smaller and you pay more. I remember when burgers were about a buck and the goal was to provide good food to the working class. Still make the best chili!

THE ORIGINAL TOMMYS 🔥 💣 🍔 🤤 😋I WAS SO, HUNGRY I DIDN’T EVEN HINK ABOUT TAKING PHOTOS IM CHILLI CHEESE DOG. ALL I KNOW THAT IT WAS DELICIOUS 🤤 😋 ONIONS, 🧅 🍅 TOMATOES AND PICKLES 🥒 WITH CHILLI’S ON THE SIDE. IN THE HEART OF LA EHEN YOUR IN THE AREA STOP 🛑 BY AND SAY 👋 HELLO. EXCELLENT CUSTOMER SERVICE AND QUICK.

We come here when Tommy's has their $2.99 chili cheese fries special and the $2.99 double chili cheese burger and california classic burger specials. A lot of people don't know about the $2.99 deals that Tommy's has. If you check out their Facebook page or Instagram page, it will give you the 411 on these special promotions. I only give 4 stars because regardless of how many times you ask them to make the french fries crispy, they just won't do it. I like crispy fries with my chili because the chili makes it less crispy if that makes sense? The chili is delicious. Today I got the $2.99 California Classic burger promotion (you can get the double chili cheese burger or both kind) with an order of chili cheese fries. TOMORROW 3/11 is the LAST day for the $2.99 burger specials. They usually have these specials at the beginning of the month and the end of the month. Just monitor their social media pages.

First off, the shop's exterior gives off an impressive vibe with its retro American style. The burger is made even better with fresh vegetables.

Born in '83 my parent's where going to this place years before that.. love this place.. Best chilli cheese burgers and fries.. I introduced my kids to this place too.. Their 19yrs old now..

You really have to have a taste for Tommy's to enjoy it. The tamale was okay. Fries good. It's in a strange area, but I felt safe. I don't know if it's like this all the time (because this location is open 24 hours), but you eat outside, standing up, on counters. I was okay with that, but it might not suit some people. It's definitely not fine dining or even close to it, no one's waiting on you, no chairs, etc. But the restroom was decently clean & everything was available; lids, straws, napkins, self-service soda fountain.

Awesome nostalgic spot. Great burgers, great prices. Great spot to eat before a Dodgers game!

Great place to visit. Their Chili burgers are a mess but oh so delicious! This location was used in the 2017 film CHiPS. With plenty of bar top places to eat and two locations to order from, this place has a great selection and plenty of parking. Highly recommend the burgers and the chili dog!

Bare bones delicious food served up to eat fresh. Many happy loyal followers here at the Original Tommy's

Oh boy, where do I even begin? I moved to LA two months ago from Florida. Upon arriving, I was greeted with a plethora of new fast food options: El Pollo Loco, Carl's Jr., and of course the legendary In-N-Out burger. But one of them stands head and shoulders above the rest; a man amongst boys, nay, a god amongst mortals: Original Tommy's. I first went on a chilly February evening after a night out downtown at Clifton's Republic-or as I refer to it, the Endor Lounge-and my experience was transcendental. At the original location on the corner of Beverly and Rampart I first savaged the glory of a Tommy's double cheeseburger and ate the sandwich in near silence, only speaking to utter the phrase "Dude....so good". To me, Original Tommy's gets fast food so right. The vegetables used on every burger are incredibly fresh and crisp. The tomatoes are sliced thick and provide a nice mellow touch to the savory beef. The cheese is a melted mess of heavenly creaminess. Finally, the chili is what takes these burgers from a mere meal to a full fledged nirvana. There is nothing like a Tommy burger. Nothing in this world can compare to how well these bad boys hit the spot when you want something that will satisfy your late night craving. I adore this restaurant and think about it at least once a day. I want to eat here every day. I would. Trust me. Every location is incredibly clean and well managed. Super efficient staff, and so so friendly, even when I stumbled in at 1 minute before closing, the staff at the North Hollywood location was more than happy to accommodate me and my friends. Thanks y'all! I wish I could give this place a 100/10. I will go to my grave spreading the gospel of these burgers. Thank you Tommy Koulax for what you have built.

Tommy's is like home comfort food to me. I've been going to the original Tommy's on Beverly and Rampart in the mid 1950's. My parents brought me up on the chili burgers and hot dogs. Now that I live in Whittier, I regularly go to Pico Rivera with an occasional trip to Norwalk, South El Monte, and La Puente. Tommy's is a legendary fixture in Southern California that I highly recommend -- especially if you haven't tried it before.

I went to the Rowland Heights location I got piece hair up n my food and fries were cold and gave me diet drink I asked for regular pepsi with little ice I was pissed .i reported this I was told I would get voucher in mail and never got it and was promised . I don’t want Tommy’s anymore you lied and never sent my certificate voucher like you promised

This place is pure glory, idk Texas and new Mexico have amazing chilli but this place is something else...

My bf ate there many years ago, loved it! So we had to stop 15 years later so i could also try it. Absolutely horrible. Canned chili, no flavor, thin flavorless patty and a burnt bun. A train wreck. We will never be back. The service was fine but the food was so bad that i felt sick almost immediately. #truthhurts #sorrynotsorry

I remember Tommy's fries were good, nice n soft. Now they are crunchy and not as good... fix your fries tommy's.

It was great just like the first time 17 years ago. The flavor has not changed and the atmosphere as well. Love going down memory lane.

I’ve been going to Tommy’s since the 1980’s and it brings back many memories and is a true comfort food for me but in the last few visits it it has bothered me that the prices have gone up (it seems excessively) and the staff and portions have left me wanting. Maybe I’m living in my glory days but it’s not the same for me~sorry �

I went to the one here on valentine road today 7-12-18 in Ventura California and let me tell you this was the worst experience I've ever had at any restaurant � burgers were alright but the buns were completely wet and ripping apart , we ordered chili cheese fries but didn't get them lady got mad and said well I didn't charge you so that an extra 2.35$ she was very rude won't be returning to this location..spent 26$ for soggy burgers and crappy fries and they refused a refund will be taking this up to corporate

I am 40 years old and have grown up eating at Tommy's. My earliest and best memories are my uncle taking me to Tommy's in Van Nuys across the street from the brewery. During the MLB playoffs the ran a deal on hot dogs. The location I went to did not honor that for some odd reason. I still got the hot dogs because it Tommy's, I would still go back because again, Its Tommy's. I made one comment on Facebook and someone reached out to me asking for my info. I said it doesn't matter I am a customer for life, none the less I gave them my info. I received a card that was good for basicly anything I wanted. I used that card today and was greeted with smiles, and got that world famous food I grew up with. If another chain out there is synonymous with California then I assure you Tommy's is synonymous with L.A. Thank you, Customer for life
