Did you know you can get a quarter pounder at Tommy's? I didn't and I have been eating Tommy burgers for longer than most of you have been alive. Maybe this upgraded burger is only available at this location (and it is off the menu, of course). Or maybe the counter man who suggested it thought I needed something heftier than a single (unlikely). Whatever. The burger was absolutely delicious. Tommy's chili hasn't changed--ever--and I love the stuff. I get the burgers without tomatoes because they are tasteless but otherwise, these cheap delectable burgers are loaded with chopped onions, pickles, a ton of chili, and a ton of flavor. The fries are good and better than In-n-Out fries but that is a low threshold. read more

I have taken many trips to L.A. and I have yet to make a stop at Tommy's. Original Tommy's World Famous Hamburgers was founded in 1946 by Tom Koulax and started out as a food stand on the northeast corner of Beverly blvd and Rampart blvd. The original location still stands today and I have driven by it on a number of occasions. There are several locations across Los Angeles and a few in Nevada. This location was near my hotel in Burbank, so I thought I would give them a shot. Customer service wasn't bad. Tommy's Original has a walkup counter on the outside of an "A" framed building and had a few people in line when I arrived. It moved quickly and I order the classic Chili Cheeseburger and Fries. Tommy's is famous for their chili burger and dogs. The burger itself wasn't bad, just really messy. I think I would enjoy it more late night after a couple of drinks. Parking here is mostly on the side of the road. read more

It had been awhile since one of our So Cal visits included a Tommy's stop. Never disappoints and is always consistent. This time I had the chili tamale , it includes pickles, diced onions, and sliced tomatoes. Also added chili cheese fries. The rest of the fam ordered chili cheeseburgers which come with mustard, pickles, tomato slices, and diced onions. We ordered it to go but they have a few outdoor tables available to eat there. Just love it, even ordered a bucket of chili to bring home!! Yum yum yum read more

Growing up in So CA, Tommy's has been an all time favorite. Now that we live in Northern NV, my first stop on visits to So CA is usually to get my fix! I went to the Burbank location yesterday while on a day work trip to So CA before I had to hop on my flight home. As it's been awhile since I've visited, I decided to go for a second burger! It might have been too much but it was so good! Follow their Facebook page for weekly savings and offers at all their locations. The Burbank location only offers walk up window ordering. There is ample parking on San Fernando Blvd and behind the shack. Ownership, if you are reading this, I'm the one who emails, calls or FB messages pleading to open a location in Northern NV. If you pay well, I will even manage it for you! :) Many So CA people have moved to this area and know your brand. We would love for you to expand your So NV locations in the Sparks/Reno area. Pretty please, with lots of chili on top! read more

Haven't been to Tommy's since I was basically a teen but decided to have lunch here the other day since my bf and I were in the area and he also hasn't had it before! Parking lot is SUPER tiny but we managed to get a spot before it got really busy. They have outdoor seating only, thankful there's shade, but it's almost like on a driveway so the tables and seating are all slanted. Since it's outdoors, it was also a bit dirty. We ordered our food and I grabbed a slanted table to sit on while my bf waited for our food. Scary to think about sitting on these and having your food slide right off if you sit on the wrong side.. The man who ordered in front of us seemed to be a frequent customer and very angry. He had to make sure the worker knew to add the chili on top rather than the bottom, like the photo suggests. It seemed like an ongoing problem or maybe someone keeps messing up his order somehow. As I was sitting, which is on the side of the building but also by their back door which they keep open.. I heard the workers laughing and talking about that customer and his order. It almost seemed like they were purposely messing up his burger.. not very nice but also do they not realize that the door is open and everyone can hear them? Quite rude and what if the customer was still around? Seems like a bad and messy situation overall. We were here around noon on Sunday 3/23/25. Food was great and came out quick. Didn't like the tomato or pickles on my chili cheese dog, seemed a bit weird and unnecessary? The chili cheese dog was also loaded with chili so it felt like a lot, almost too much to be honest. I should've just went for the chili cheese fries since I wasn't very hungry to begin with but also didn't think it would be massive. The double chili cheese burger was also very messy but I guess that comes with the territory, at least my bf enjoyed it overall. Good food but a lot. Prices were right and good for the amount you get. Very filling! IG: @ammysalamii read more

Here is the Chili Dog with grilled onions topped with all the garnishments. Absolutely delicious? Add the Yellow peppers and WOW, what a combination. Tommy's has been a staple in Los Angles for as long as I can remember. If you wish to experiment: Get the Chili cheese fries with grilled onions and all the toppings. read more

Tommy's has always been a favorite restaurant to go to from time to time. The chili cheese fries is my absolute favorite item on the menu. The staff has always been friendly and they don't skimp on the chili like one of their locations does. Parking can be challenging depending on the time of day. A tip: if you are trying to avoid carbs, try their burgers as a lettuce wrap. read more

Great customer service. The man behind the counter taking my order was super friendly and likable. 27th of July before 5pm. The man who offered me my food too was very polite. The tables were clean and no trash anywhere. The amount of shade was great and the parking lot had a good amount of spots. Without asking for a fork the man offered it. My food didn't satisfy me and I'm not a fan but I'll keep it a solid 3/5 Favorite spot for chili cheese fries is The Hat in Simi Valley or Pasadena. read more

One of The Best chili ever, Tommy's is a classic and we have been coming here since The 90's. The food is always fresh and hot and it never disappoints especially when you have a craving for something savory and delicious. Highly recommend try it out. Don't come here if you are on a diet read more

Got the Breakfast Sandwich with some Crispy Fries, a side of Chili's and an Arnold Palmer. It was good, convenient, searea. quick and it was just across the street for where I was. I love the old school A-Frame building. Can't complain!!! I would return if I was in the area. Enjoy!!! read more

Original Tommy's is absolutely a must-visit to experience the LA late-nite food scene. It is unique to say the least. The original in Hollywood at Beverly and Rampart is the mecca, but this location rocks the calssic menu when you are in Glendale/Burbank and need a fix. For any true food lover, this will be a category by itself. ! They feature a limited, but creative menu that they will do their best to make your burger 'your way. the fries are to die for as well. No alcohol, there is a dive bar accross the street for that though. The eclectic atmosphere in line will be a story to tell as well. a true LA original. read more

I stopped by this Original Tommy burger place this morning because I saw their Instagram stories deal on the Double Classic California burger. I was already across the street getting something for my parents so it just made sense to stop by here. I came in the morning so finding parking in the back parking was easy since I came right when they open. I showed the person taking my order the Instagram stories and he honored the price. I also got French fries on the side to finish my order. It didn't take long for my order to be ready and I left to eat it at home. They have some seating here if you're planning on eating here. I thought my burger was delicious but the fries seem very plain. Usually the fries are good here but it was plain today. read more

I didn't grow up here with Tommy's, so I don't get the affinity that some people have for it. it's definitely not always on my radar to stop and grab some grub. However, as a change of pace one in awhile, I'll swing by if I pass one (not on my normal routes) as the food is generally fast, decently palatable, and one of the more fiscally friendly options left in the world. Definitely a throwback to a bygone era of drive-up joints with outside seating, sometimes it's fun to hangout with friends on a summer night, shoot the shyte, and have an old fashioned chili burger and fries! read more

Food that takes you back...use to eat here in the early 90s and it's still amazing food, love the chilli fries and the burger was extremely delicious! Thank you! for providing us with the best chili burgers in the San Fernando valley. read more

To be honest, I haven't had a burger here in a long while. I remember them being delicious, along with their chili cheese fries. But, the main reason I come here is their breakfast burrito. Top three for me. If you enjoy Tommy's chili and appreciate a tasty breakfast burrito, give it a go. The burrito is a good size. It comes with egg, cheese, sausage patty, crispy hash brown, and of course their chili. I add chopped yellow peppers for an extra punch. This is the way. After placing the order, it usually only takes about five minutes, so this is a great spot to grab a quick and delicious breakfast burrito. read more

Tommy's is an original around here if you grew up around the area and for most of the years, I'd say they were quite consistent. Especially with their chili which in my opinion, is their specialty. Though I will say, after a long run I think either their recipe changed or maybe I had a bad experience? But overall, it just didn't taste the same anymore and tasted a little off. The prices aren't that bad, but for how messy and fatty the burgers are, which obviously means lower meat quality. I feel as though they could be a little cheaper on the price. Other than their chili and prices though, they're a pretty okay establishment. read more

This place has gotten much better since my last review. It is Tommy's, so you know what you are expecting to get. Service is good, and now that you can order in the app and slide in and grab it, it is much more convenient. It is not as good as the first Tommy's location in K-town, but that one is amazing. read more

Great place Togo get some chilli fries and burgers is next is close to a park there is also Carl's jr next to it

Very disappointed and upset! I ordered 6 burgers to go. I ordered them fixed in different ways. One of them was a single cheese burger with only pickles. I get home with my order, I'm not very close to the resturant. The single cheese burger with pickles only HAS NO MEAT!! It was only a set of buns, cheese, and pickles. That's it!! I was so upset! Who does that? What kind of idiot would do that? I tried calling them twice at the number on the receipt, but it just rang and rang. They never answered. I sure wanted to release a lot of negative energy on that business. But nope. So here is my Yelp review. It was order #37 on 7/20/24 at 9:26pm. read more

This Tommy's is old school. There's a shack with outdoor seating only. A sign clearly states no public restroom. The service is fast, the customer service is excellent, and the food was delicious. It helps to download the Tommy's app and keep track of any deals. Sometimes chili cheese fries sell for $2.99, a double chili cheeseburger or a chili cheese dog can sell for $2.99, and the cheeseburger can sell for $2.99 or $2.49. read more

Tommy's has been at this location in Burbank since forever. Let's face it. You either love Tommy's or hate it. As I get up there in age, it's getting harder and harder to indulge in Tommy's more than twice a year, so I savor every opportunity . On my last visit, I started sweating grease and having heart palpitations while polishing off my double cheeseburger, chili cheese fries and soda. I continued eating anyway. The employees get the orders out quick and make sure the line moves swiftly. This location has a nice size patio with plenty of tables and a parking lot in back. Unfortunately, this isn't a 24 hour location. They operate 10am-10pm. read more

The food tastes the same as it has since the 80's.. one of a kind. BUT..the prices are ridiculous. $18 for a single chile cheese burger and chili cheese fries & drink. The burger was about half the size it used to be. All from a hut that I'm sure has been paid off for decades! 3x more than In-N-Out Burger. Crazy. Prob won't be returning. read more

Maybe I'm just getting older and my taste's change but as a kid, I loved going to the one on Roscoe across from the AB facility. You could smell the beer hopps while pulling into the parking lot. The chili burgers were awesome and was always thankful when my folks took me. So I decided to go to the one in Burbank while I had time to kill. To my dismay, it was just okay. Maybe my tastes have changed, maybe the burgers have gotten smaller, don't know. But it didn't taste the same 30 years later. Not sure I'll be back but thanks for all the memories!! read more

I've eaten at a couple different Tommy's around the valley. I really like the way they prepare their burgers/cheeseburgers. Taste wise, I can say the 3 I've been to are consistent in taste, which is a good thing because Tommy's does have it's own flavor. Great fries and those little pepprocinis they give if you ask. I usually eat the California cheeseburger, my bf eats the chili burger. Big drink sizes, too. I will say that you either like Tommy's or you dont, and that's ok. There are a plethora of burger joints here, but try Tommy's at least once. read more
