Very good burgers with the tasty addition of chili. Almost as good as In-N-Out Burger. Service is very fast and friendly. Sadly this San Diego location is scheduled to close for good in Tuesday, 3/14/23. Got the special $2.99 Double Chili Cheeseburger. It was very tasty. Got a spoon to not waste any of the chili that fell out of the burger. After Tuesday, I'll only be able to get these burgers if I drive over an hour north. Update: Went back and got two of the special $2.99 Double Chili Cheeseburgers. Both were good and had more chili than the last visit.

This is a great place. Love their burgers; super fresh and hot. Their tomatoes always good ripe and fresh. If a fast food restaurant always uses good quality tomatoes, everything else is just about guaranteed to be excellent as well. Staff at this restaurant is exceptional. Friendly and always accommodating.

First time at Tommy's for me. Very satisfying meal. Ordered the chili cheese fries and chili cheese burger. It all came out hot, fresh, and delicious. Root beer float was amazing too (love their soft serve).
I don't think this food survives well on a delivery order. You need to eat it fresh, right away.

Great customer service. The chili cheese fries were the best! Celebrated my son's heavenly birthday by eating his favorite.

Great staff, the two ladies there were really nice. You don't usually get that at most Fast food places. As usual, Tommy's was great 👍. Will be back next trip. We stopped on our way home to Arizona, we were here for the Mustangs by the bay car show.

Always a great burger and fries. Make sure to use your fries to get any chili left on the wrapper. Alicia was great, and took care to wrap up my food for a nice presentation.

Still tastes the same as when I was a kid. The chili has a deep thick taste that's so comforting. Not the tomato-y paste/diced tomatoes provide. I ordered chili fries and a cup of chili to go. When I got home I added shredded sharp cheddar cheese. Turned out delicious. Now I'm in a food coma:-)

Tommy’s is a good, solid burger joint. The ingredients are high quality, especially the meat and chili. It’s definitely got it’s own style though, which is a bit subdued for some people’s taste.
Some people complain about there “being chili on everything,” but you can actually order regular burgers and fries without chili. It’s not just a chili joint.
Personally, I love the chili cheese fries and the chili cheeseburgers. They’re amazing. Definitely heavy so you’ll be able to skip a meal. Don’t forget to grab your yellow chilis!

The burger has it's own taste going. It helps not to closely compare to other burger places. The food was fresh and hot. The meat was seasoned well and all toppings worked well together. The hot dog was delicious so I might go as far as eat it without the chili if I ever get it in addition to a burger.

I have visited Tommy's since the mid 1970s. And they have kept the same recipe for the chili which is delicious. Used to go to Tommy's in Eagle Rock California growing up.
