    Perfect for a rainy day. No drive thru, outside seating but window service is fast and friendly. Wow they switched up the menu for a limited time you can get pepper jack cheese on any menu item taste amazing. They should keep this on the menu

    Chili cheeseburger with no tomato.

    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!

    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

    Chili cheese dog with grilled onions.

    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.

    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.

    The place to go when craving chili! If you are only going to pick one item off this menu, make it an order of chili cheese fries! So good.

    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!!!

    Original Tommy's Restaurant in Burbank, CA

    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.

    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.

    Classic double chili cheese burger!

    Classic straight forward burger stand style burgers and fries and more. Nothing fancy or gourmet but hits the spot just right! This Tommy's location is very clean, safe, fast and friendly. Consistantly fresh good food.

    Need to say, I'm not a big fan of chili. I came there for burgers Mmmkay. So I decided to try one of chili-burgers and it was delicious! Don't be afraid to try something new! Go and try chili burger!

First off, the restaurant was incredibly clean and welcoming. You can feel it the second you walk in, everything just feels dialed in and taken care of. The service, though, is what really stood out. The woman at the register could not have been kinder or more helpful. Super friendly, patient, and just had a great energy about her. She walked us through options, made us feel welcome, and honestly set the tone right from the start. Then the person who brought our food out was just as impressive. Polite, efficient, and checked back in multiple times to make sure we had everything we needed. Even came back to clear things and thank us as we were leaving. That level of attention is rare, even at higher-end restaurants. At one point, I believe the manager also came by to check on us, and I noticed him doing that with other tables too. That kind of leadership shows. And the food absolutely delivered. I had the chicken power plate, and it was honestly better than I remember it being. Super tender, flavorful, not dry at all. The yams and broccoli were both excellent. My wife got the steak nachos, and everything from the meat to the chips tasted fresh and spot on. From top to bottom, this was just a really well-run operation with a team that clearly cares. Big thank you to everyone working today. You made a simple lunch feel like a standout experience. THANKS!

I was totally regretting ordering from Sharky's and I don't see why I would again. Sharky's Santa Fe Burritos come with cheese, guac and pico. But having a pinch of protein in a burrito that is over $16 is culinary robbery. Others in our group ordered a Fiesta burrito and Sharky's burrito and were not impressed. They werent missing as much of the protein like mine but they thought it all to be lacking. Our orders were to-go so we had no recourse for them to make us new ones. Sucks. Lesson learned. Never again.
