Big Tomy's - The Hamburger spot!!!! - Burgers Near Me - Culver City, California

Food was like a 4/10 i had a sausage breakfast burrito. You could tell the potatoes were reheated from yesterday couldent roll the burrito either, and the salsa was flavorless and had no heat like they just blended up some tomatillos and called it a day. The dude that took my order was cool and its located in this cool strip mall with somw cool stores and the saloon. read more

Big Tomy's - Sausage Breakfast Burrito - Burgers Near Me - Culver City, California

There are 2 Big Tomy's in the region. One on Pico and this one on Sepulveda. I was hoping for a better experience having multiple stores. The economy seems to be effecting the food. The pancakes are rubbery in texture and margarine instead of butter. The Chili Cheese Fries appear to have a thickening agent in the chili to offset the lack of meat. Not a good value for the money. https://www.youtube.com/shorts/obV4CBdVdGA read more

Someone should update the prices on their menu. I ended up paying more than I expected but the food was ok. The breakfast burrito is huge but a bit dry, I had pastrami in it and that made it very tasty but I had to add sauce or mayo because otherwise it was too dry. The chili cheese fries were pretty good. Very tasty chili. My friend had their pastrami burger and that was good too. Nothing much to it. read more

This is an old school burger stand with the old letter/number menu. All the specials are listed on the windows and near the counter. Clean and easy to order. The few times I've been here, I've placed my order and received it quick. The staff isn't full of a lot of conversation because they're busy but they're in a good mood. I've only ordered the double chili cheeseburger and fries. No complaints. read more

Terrible breakfast burrito. $15 for a pound of dry potatoes wrapped in a tortilla. I couldn't find a piece of egg in my whole burrito, maybe there was half an egg used to make the potatoes stick together but I couldn't find it. The chorizo was just dry red flakes of meat. Just enough to maybe make the dry potatoes turn red. The Sahara desert isn't as dry as this burrito was. At first I was mad that I had to pay an extra dollar for just a thimble of warm store-bought ranch from a jug but I was thankful I did because otherwise I don't know how I would've gotten this burrito down my throat without it getting stuck. If you like dry potatoes wrapped in a flour tortilla then you're going to love this burrito. Also bring cash because they don't take card. I didn't take a picture of the burrito because after a couple bites I threw it away anyways. But just imagine a piece of 2×4 wood framing wrapped in a dry tortilla and there you go. read more

Great place to eat. I ordered a Tomy's hotdog that came w chili, cheese, tomatoes and pickles. I was in heaven. Going back for me. The food is out of this world! read more

My family and I always come to Big Tomy's for breakfast, and it never disappoints! Their hotcakes and french toast are so yummy--fluffy, delicious, and just what you want from a classic diner breakfast. If you love diner vibes, this is a great spot with that cozy, nostalgic feel. We also love supporting local businesses, and Big Tommy's has been around for decades, which makes it even more special. It's one of those places that truly feels like part of the community. If you haven't been, definitely check it out and support a longtime Culver-local favorite! read more

When you need to clog your arteries and gain 100 lbs., I recommend Big Tomy's. You don't need to get dressed up for this joint. Shoes, shirt and you get serviced. I ordered the green flyer hanging on the wall that says "Big Tomy's Special: Pastrami Burger, Fries and Soda. Aidan ordered the chili cheese fries and a plain chili cheese burger. I got coke with no ice. Bring cash. Because they only take cash. You know this place is authentic when you sit down and the grease is permeated on the table, bench and walls. Bonus, when you pick up your order at the counter, grab any bottles of condiments. It's free. Oh man, I wolfed down the Pastrami Burger, but couldn't finish the super load of fries. This place is five stars, my friend. read more

Prices are wayyy too high now and the food is mid!!! Not worth it. Place used to be good / cost efficient, not anymore

It's like stepping back into the 70's or 80's walking into this place with the colorful laminate booths and colorful special menu postings on the walls. It's also worth mentioning how spotless it is and how friendly the staff are. As for the food, I had the breakfast burrito, which was the size of a newborn, and had the right ratio of potato egg and bacon for each bite. read more

Don't go here! The cook does not use disposable gloves when making your food. He handles the raw ground beef with his hands then picks up the tomatoes and lettuce, etc., to make your burger. I wish I was a health inspector! SMDH! I wouldn't even give the place a 1! read more

Hole in the wall kinda business! Bring cash! & If you don't mind waiting a long time for your food then this place is just right for you "been waiting a little over 25 minutes for a cheeseburger and fries " with two customers ahead of me , as far as customer service I'm not going to say it's bad but it's definitely not the worst ....the restaurant definitely looks run down and cleanliness definitely needs improvement . Price point ? It's pretty ok 14.99 for a burger and fries ? As far as food quality I'll let you know once I'm done with my meal Ok I'm half way with my meal and done complaining The fries get a solid 10 rating alone they are nice and fresh ! The burger it's huge !! So Yummy the meat is juicy and ingredients seem fresh !!! Overall the food is yummy ! But due to the wait and zero communication from staff and restaurant cleanliness the rating I give for This place is a Update this place is BOMB.com read more

I grew up coming here since high school. I'm 46 now so the main guy Juan has gotta have been working here for at least some 30 years. I have moved away up to the Bay Area now but always make it a point to have a chili double-cheeseburger or pastrami chili fries if I'm ever in town. read more

All right, let's start with the basics, the food is good. The prices are great the people that work there are always really nice, to put it as simple and easy as I can. It's just a good burger joint. Everything that they make is really good and I would say it's definitely worth going and grabbing something to eat if you're in the area. read more

Ah man, so damn good! My roommate just moved here from NY and asked me if I had ever been to this place, no I said, so that had to be changed. Man alive, this is a delightful burger! First of all, flavor explosion. Mayo, onion, pickles, toms of avocado, lettuce, this ain't no dainty burger, you got to get nice and messy and use your fair share of napkins to wipe all the goodness off of your chin and cheeks. Second, that chili is sinful as heck! Homemade daily and as good as it gets. Fries... well you can see. There is a whole mound of em here and they are seasoned just right. All of it is made to order, from the burger to the freshly fried fries. Yummm. Cash only but worth it. read more

Old school, traditional. Super good double chili cheese and they have a full cafeteria style menu as well.

Great customer service and food! I have been to a good amount of burger places in LA and surrounding area. I definitely can say this is one of my favorites. Food was fresh and delicious. read more

Close to the bar, which is my home base in the local dart league I throw out of - I end up here for dinner when I have a craving for some greasy, unhealthy diner food. Aka gut bombs. Prices are surprisingly low and the portion sizes are large. It's counter service - order, sit and wait for your order to be called. Lots of parking behind the strip mall and it's cash only. Know that the quality of the food won't be something you'll be remembering for the rest of your life but know that if you want something cheap and fast - and you're in the area, Big Tomy's definitely isn't a bad option. read more

Always loved all the big tomy's and Thomas's, that was the hole in the wall go to growing up as a kid and loved it every time. Anything on the breakfast or lunch menu is a banger, so you can't miss with whatever you order. read more

Okay, don't look at the place--just go enjoy it--and bring cash. I'm thinking that people in Bakersfield had told me about this place as being somewhat famous. There appears to be another location on Pico Blvd., though. There is a similar restaurant out in Upland (Tom 1?) and a couple out in Bakersfield. It seems the Chili Burger is something to be admired. Doesn't Wienerscnitzel also have one? I was down the block for something else and returned to eat here. I ordered a cheeseburger combo. They have Coca-Cola products and didn't have much selection of drinks, although they additionally had bottled and/or canned drinks. Prices are really good for the food, and service is friendly and respectful. I don't think I've heard "sir" more in the last 30 years than in the time I was here. I couldn't eat much but wow, oh, wow. I wish I could return once a week. Forget the fancy stack-em-high burger places. The taste is what matters and this place has the taste. There is only one problem--parking. If you can walk, park at the mall and walk here. Parking behind the store might work, but holy shhhhhh, it's crowded and busier than a bee hive and it's not easy to see. read more

Big Tomy's - Cheeseburger in a combo - Burgers Near Me - Culver City, California

Great people awesome food. Always my go to when I'm in the area. Consistent in quality and quantity.

This place is just super legit dive-y food. The patty melt is EPIC. The prices are insane as well. And when they say small fry, they mean they pick up a small paper bag and FILL it with fries. We usually use the leftover fries for at home taco fries throughout the week and they reheat pretty well. We can't wait to try more! There's a parking lot that makes pickup convenient, but it is cash only. The two guys that are always behind the counter when we visit are great. We usually don't call in, we just show up, and it takes about ten minutes to get our food, which is crazy pants fast for how small the staff is. 10/10 for the price! read more

Spent my day running around with my grandson. Once done, my grandson wanted Big Tomys. We go in and the negative energy nearly drained me...The portly man taking orders was sooo stand offish and anti social. No good morning, afternoon nothing. Giving off " I'm mad at the world...So I go to order our food and give him my debit card.. " we don't take cards, cash only"..so ok, I tell him I'll go to the bank across the street..he asked is he still making the food, I say yes. When it was time to pay, I hand him the money in his hands. He in turn placed my change on the counter. As a customer I would like my change handed to me as I gave it...It's just out of respect for customers who patronize your business...My grandson is young and I'm teaching to pay attention to how people treat you when money is being exchanged. Do not patronize business that indirectly disrespect you....I did tell I'm I will not be coming back...he's gonna need to find another burger spot. I gave it a one star...because of the negative vibe, the lack of reciprocity of returning my change to me as he received it, but after all that, I get home and my fries were missing. It's rush hour traffic and I'd spend more money in gas going to get the fries than I actually paid for the fries...I did not feel welcomed.. read more

Omggggg sooooo goooood! CASH ONLY. I went for the chili cheeseburger combo. The chili is delicious, I actually wish there was more of it on my burger as it seemed to just be thrown on one side. The fries are my definition of perfect. Perfectly crispy, golden, well seasoned fries. The place is super inexpensive. They have banana peppers if you want them. Highly recommend! read more

I love the other Big Tomy's as much as one can love a greasy burger joint. http://www.yelp.com/biz/big-tomys-los-angeles, but this location is just disgusting. First off, B rating. Dirtier than 99% of the hole in the wall random burger spots in LA. But that never stops me from trying a new place. I've been on a chili cheese kick these last few weeks and I decided to come here to get my fix since it's a mile from my house and closer than the other one. I ordered a large chili cheese fries thinking it would be just like the ones at the other Tomy's. But no, not even close. Other Tomy's: http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/04C-GtR046FWDe96IQ1AuQ?select=xWoh3w1HPTawqliCUMmmRA This Tomy's: http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/IxqfRUOL3A5rUaAyPZc23g?select=UkXat3pMtSDywzdjINCQmg The good Tomy's chili was a nice brown, chunks of meat, nice yellow cheese, crisp/soggy fries, everything cheap chili cheese fries should be. But this Tomy's was just sick. The chili was smoother than a baby's butt and an eerie shade of gray. The cheese was white and had no flavor. Even the virginal fries, untouched by this pureed chili, were soggy to start. I managed to eat half of it before I felt sick. It just wasn't good. Thank god I didn't order a burger! read more
