    Here's Nickie making sure the dood's right
    DianaLee B.

    OK...This is a straight up burger joint. Owned and operated by a family. They founded other burger joints like Queens in Pacoima, so they know what they are doing. They had a rough start of it, but they are formulating a place that will serve the Tujunga community for decades. They have a decent menu-burgers, dogs, grilled or fried chicken sandwiches, Mexican (THEY NOW ROLL THEIR OWN TAQUITOS), BLT, salad et al...! Fries and rings are good What I love is that everyone involved is eager to serve and please. They added back Pineapple shakes-yummy. I've eaten here aa few times now. Loved the old fashioned goo grilled cheese on sour dough, the BLT looked a bit short on bacon, but it tasted awesome-tasty bacon, yummy tomato & fresh crunchy lettuce perfectly balanced. I stopped for fries on my way to class a couple times...they kept me waiting for 5 minutes or so...and it was SO WORTH IT- hot, perfectly salted dinner fries. They do use some typical frozen goods here like most of Queens' competition, however, they mix their own sauces like the super spicy cocktail sauce that came with the shrimp dinner my buddy ordered. He couldn't finish it was so much food. It's no In & Out, but the service is Great, they are keeping the Newly renovated store clean, and like I said- I just love good, fun and happy people...who else would you want to prepare your good???

    Ehhhh... Pastrami or uncooked bacon?

    Ehhh... Not impressed... They used old fries for my chili fries not fresh fries like they do at the Hat. Chili tasted pretty good but there wasn't enough of it :/ Pastrami burger was very weak tasting and thrown together like a mess. If you guys don't believe me look at my pictures. #BringTroysBack! However, staff was super friendly and service was fairly quick! That's why I'm rating 3 stars.

    So much mayo it fell apart! #nasty

    I wish I could give it a 2 star but I wasted 20 bucks on 2 dinners I didn't eat!! We haven't eaten here in years, I believe the last time was 2000, Hubby and I decided to take a stab at it and go in. I can't tell you how disappointed I was. I ordered a club sandwich, it had so much mayo on it that the sandwich literally fell apart. all you tasted was MAYO. I took one bite and wanted to gag. Onion rings tasted OLD. Burger was just as bad, if you're a mayo fan,. have at it. Besides the food being bad A man lives behind the trash can in a tent?! Is this even legal? Do the owners of the business even care?

    I've been meaning to try this place for quite sometime, as it's been in the neighborhood forever, and I have not. They must be doing something right, I reckon. Well, it's not the roast beef sandwich. It's as if they went to their food supplier and ordered "non-perishable roast beef food product." It had no flavor, it was just a bunch of non-lethal meat on an average hoagie. It's probably not fair for me to judge them on a mediocre sandwich, but it left me no reason to go back again.

    I went here years ago when there was another deal going on. Today is the 80th anniversary so…read moreburgers are $0.80. 5:49 pm is when I got there. The wait was an hour and 27 min. The ambiance was alright. There are at least 4 tables at Tommy's. I like that there's a wheelchair ramp. It's open air so there was a breeze. Artificial lights are on. About 30 people were ahead of me. The line snaked around the parking lot. It seems worth it to a ton of people. I placed my order at 7:16 pm. I ordered the chili cheese burger. I was confused when the employee said it was the special and I said just the burger so it was my fault for being confused. Others ordered combos. The employee was patient with me and respectful. The limit is 3 burgers per person. No wonder the line is long, it snaked around the parking lot. Over 400 people were served so far. I got my order at 7:22 pm. The employee asked me for my number so I could be a rewards member. Then I gave it. When my order was ready, the employee asked if I wanted ketchup or yellow peppers. I answered with ketchup but I should've said neither. The ketchup packets were opened without me opening them. I was a cashier years ago. Sometimes ketchup would leak out of packets if it was too hot. Or maybe if they were packed tightly in the box. So now my bag might be stained because I put the burger inside it. It's a quality control or supplier issue but it still disappointed me. The burger was savory and filling. I got everything on it.

    Don't judge the burger by the photo! It actually is a great burger! When I lived in Los Angeles…read morethis was a common stop for me. A lot of memories with friends and families, as well as for my solo self. Tommy's is an old institutional burger joint of Los Angeles. LA is the only place where you can find Tommy's. The burgers or hot dogs are slathered in their classic original chili sauce. The service is friendly and quick. The menu is simple. The ambience is way casual and basic. It's mostly eating outside under a roof, or getting it to go. Whenever I'm in Los Angeles I always make a stop for Tommy's!

I always wanted to keep giving them a chance because it's not like we have a lot of similar options locally, but this was the last straw for me. The quality doesn't even come close to justifying the price. I could get teenagers to whip me up any crazy drink within minutes at Starbucks, but the simplest order here requires that I've got nothing else going on in my day. And don't get me started on ordering food here. Let's just say last time it was a similar story but no coffee, just a lemon square... that was already made. Also, one of their young male employees seemed to be on break and used the female restroom when the male restroom was free. Just a little strange there. Cute ambience and I like the paintings from local artists they have up, but it isn't a place I'd recommend to anyone. The workers are mostly smiles and friendly demeanors, I just wish they'd be more efficient and thoughtful.
