Original Tommy's has been a lifelong favorite of mine while growing up in The Valley. This location has a drive-thru and also a handful of booths inside. Tommy's has a small, straightforward menu with a few hamburger, hot dog, and fry options where you can add chili, cheese, and/or bacon. They also have chili a la carte, shakes, soft serve, and a small breakfast menu served all day that includes a sandwich, burrito, and hash browns. Most recently I ordered my usual: double cheeseburger with chili cheese fries. The burgers are grilled to order and the patties are flavorful. Their fries are a must order: crispy, hot, and perfectly salted, with chili and cheese. These days I can't do chili on both the burger and the fries, but I do recommend trying the chili cheese burger! It's classic, a bit messy, and totally worth it. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Tommy's is definitely more of a hole in the wall, but this location is clean, employees are friendly, and the food is delicious while being slightly greasy.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I wouldn't have it any other way!

I like places that are reliable and consistent and yummy. Tommy's fills the bill. After seeing many Facebook deals I decided to give it a go. It's been a minute since I last had Tommy's chile. So a chile tamale for me! Same great taste. It might not be the most nutritious meal yet it's a really great tasting one. read more

Fast service, great crew. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The place is very clean and parking lot is real clean[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]], will go back again.

The older guy taking the orders by drive thru was funny and quick. He had a positive and attentive attitude, which is greatly appreciated. I went today because it's a good deal: regular double chili cheese burger combo for $8 bucks. Large parking lot and outside was clean. read more

One of the worst customer service ever I was in the drive-through and by mistake they gave me extra set of fries. I could have just drove off, but that's not mean it's about honesty and integrity so I told the female employee what happened she told me let me have the whole box I'm not sure why I could have just given her the small box of extra fries. She took it from me walked away and said nothing ,no thank you ,no we appreciate your honesty; Nothing horrible experience. read more

Employees are always nice and the food never disappoints... Chili tamale hands down the best item on the menu for me personally Can't go to Tommy's and not get chili cheese fries Get in my belly!! read more

Okay, I am biased but I really like the burgers! Not really a 5-star restaurant but I give 5-stars to the dedication and the legacy! I just tried the California Classic for the first time and it was very good. If you like In-n-Out then this is similar but it's a double beef patty and for a limited time it is only $2.99 for one with cheese. This burger is mouthwatering and meaty. I don't eat meat that often but this is definitely splurging. The lettuce and tomato were fresh and juicy. Then with the slather of spread and a pickle it had that tangy sweet flavor to meld with the soft bread. I put my cheese on the side because I like to eat my burgers without melted cheese (most of the time). The drive thru is pretty fast and the people are nice enough. They also have a root beer float for $2.99 (regular price). My husband got the double chili cheese and sopped up the chili paper (yes, that is a thing). read more

This place is a true classic and I usually have a great experience. However, I just had an experience where the manager was a little weird about me telling him that the fries were cold. Usually something that would be replaced without question, but today was different for whatever reason. read more

The best chili burgers and chili fries for many decades. Friendly staff and open to 2am.

Like everything I've tried but I do have to say that their chili/cheese fries are the best I've ever had!

Tommy's is an LA institution and way better than In N Out Double California Classic and fries! You can't go wrong! Fries aren't the greatest but still way better than the cardboard's you get at In-N-Out My wife wanted breakfast though so she ordered a sausage egg and cheese. Surprised that it came with chili, pickles, onions, lettuce and tomato. Well. They're known for their burgers. What else would you expect? Finished off with 2 vanilla cones. It had been 35 years since I had Tommy's. I need to get back to one of them next time I'm in LA read more

Been talking about grabbing some Tommy's again since it's been years but never made the trip out since we were always busy and craving other things. Finally my coworker wanted to get some, crazy coincidence, so we had him pick some up for the entire office. It was a bit early and I wasn't starving so I only got an order of chili cheese fries but man did I forget how good it was. I ate it as soon as they brought it back even if I wasn't exactly hungry yet but I managed to finish the whole thing. It was very heavy but super delicious. I wish the fries were a bit crispier but I guess it's not meant for this type of thing. The chili and cheese were amazing and packed so much flavor. The only problem was that it was so heavy, I was tired at work the rest of the day and then had an awful stomach ache later that evening. Might've just been too early to eat for my tummy to handle and it's never done that before. Definitely want to get their burgers and maybe even the chili cheese dog some time soon!

Normally tommys is good but today what happened ? We ordered "chili on everything" including fries, he, Mario, even asked us if we wanted chili on our fries and we said yes. We opened up the food on our way home and no chili cheese fries. Chili on the burger? Barely! No chili to scoop up with the fries. Stingy af. What was that?? 6:43pm on 4th of July.

Original Tommy's - Where's the chili? - Burgers Near Me - Canoga Park, California

7/4/2025 around 6:43pm picked up some Tommy's. Haven't had some in over a year from Topanga location. Asked for a number 1 chili cheese everything for myself Ordered a number 2 chili cheese everything for my girl. They then asked if I wanted chili on the burger. I said yes "everything chili" Peppers for the burgers I said "yes" Got to the window got my food in a timely manner. Got halfway home and checked the fries. Regular fries... I was like okay no big deal I'll scoop the chili off the burger, not a dealbreaker Got home and unpacked the burger, there's no chili. And only chili was around the edge of the burger. My hands didn't get dirty. My face wasn't covered in chili. So what's the deal. Is anyone else having a bad experience as this location? I spent 34$ and got no chili. This was my cleanest Tommy's experience ever. read more

10 out of 10 experience. Ali was amazing nice and dedicating. We appreciate you all here. -Denise

I was in Canoga Park, CA, driving down Topanga Canyon Road when I eyed this Tommy's Burger. What caught my eye first was the iconic sign, it's an old fashion sign that sits on top of a tall pole overlooking the street. It was all lit up. What a beautiful sight on a calm early evening night. This shack has a small dining area and a drive thru. Score. I was in a lazy mood and I used the drive thru.I pulled into the parking lot and initially was a bit perplexed on how to get to the drive thru. I figured it out quickly, I had to drive through the lot and into the back alley taking a right turn and the another quick right. If you want to avoid driving through the lot, you can enter the alley off Wyandotte Road. The person staffing the intercom was awesome. Very patient. He repeated our order back and made the requested changes. Kept a great tone and demeanor. 5 star service! I ordered a chili hamburger and fries. The fries were thick cut. I reached into the bag immediately to grab some fries, they were were soggy and not crispy. Oh no. That was disappointing. My traveling companions ordered a chili hot dog and chili cheeseburger. We didn't dig into those until about 20 minutes later. Yes, I forbid them from eating those in my car. My chili burger was good. Even 20 minutes later. It was consistent to the standards of the other Tommy's. Tommy's chili burgers are served with a slather of chili on the hamburger patty, pickles, slices of tomatoes, and yellow mustard The chili is thick tomato less and bean less but packed with good strong seasonings. It has a thick consistency that holds well to the patty and between the toasted buns. read more

Got the Tommy 3:49 special with my coworkers . 3 double cheeseburgers and 2 tamales. Except the cheeseburgers were single patties, I called and spoke with the place and they tell me to bring the food back and they will remake it. I appreciate the offer but I'm on a 30 minute lunch break and work 4 miles away so I'm stuck with the food. Make sure you check your food before leaving. Always had a great experience so this is a first been coming here for a few years now. Gotta better train the staff to check the food read more

I was in the mood for some Chili Cheese Fries and landed upon Tommy's! I decided to go through the drive thru on my most recent trip but they have a small seating area inside if you want indoor dining. There were a lot of cars in the drive thru but it went pretty fast. The food was hot and it's a good combination of chili and cheese and doesn't feel like an overload. I couldn't judge much on the service as it was a quick exchange but they were fast and efficient. read more

Tommy's is intense, gut busting, goes down easy and comes out hard. What can I say it's a staple for LA and probably the top 3 drunk foods to eat when you're in the city. No matter what time of day it is, Tommy will set you right with his greasy chili and long and juicy slider. Don't think about it, just take it down. read more

I finally tried the California Classic Cheeseburger Combo. That means no chili. I love the sauce:) Next time, no tomatoes and pickles. Add pinions instead. I think that will be the winner for me. The fries are pretty standard. I give this place a 4 star rating not necessarily because of the taste specifically. It's more about the fact that the chain has been around for 75 years and offers an alternative to the larger chains. And sometimes, you just need a break from In n Out, Shake Shack, and even Chick-fil-A. Thank you Tommy's! read more

Great for late night eats. I have on multiple occasions gone to this location for post concerts/events meals on the drive back home and it usually hits. My favorite is the caliente burger , it comes with a generous amount of topping including Chilis. Tommy's chili is satisfying and too often overlooked by people not from california as a place to stop by for a chili cheese burger. Their breakfast burrito also shouldn't be slept on and they'll serve it outside of breakfast hours. read more

I ordered my chili cheese burger, NO PICKLES, light onion and reminded them it is advertised at $2.49. He said "no". Then he said "oh yes". I ordered chili cheese fries, on the menu for $5.90. The employee says total is $11.45. I asked him why? Employee stated "it's the double cheeseburger for $2.49". So I said give me the double then. Then he states the fries are $7.90, not $5.90 like on the menu board. So I cancelled the fries and ordered two double cheeseburgers NO PICKLE, light onion, for $2.49. I pay him and he gives me extra change. I said you gave me too much change and he looked confused. Then he says sorry about the mix up. I said ok. I get home and I have single cheeseburgers, with pickles and lots of onions and barely enough chili to taste it. I DROVE 15 minutes to Tommy's FOR A CHILI BURGER!!!!!! Instead I got a burger with barely any chili and when I opened it, the meat had HOLES IN IT!!!! Holes!!!! I scraped off the onions, and cleaned off the pickles and ate a barely identifiable Chili burger!!! I have been going to Tommys on Rampart since I was able to eat table food as a baby. Then we came to Northridge to live and it's a tragedy that you call this a chili burger on Topanga. Tommy Koulax would be turning in his grave if he saw what you are serving. He and my dad were friends. I won't be eating here anymore. Roscoe Blvd has better service and prepares the burgers correctly. 25 minute drive but I WANTED A TOMMY's CHEESEBURGER... not some hole laden meat party and a half teaspoon of chili. [[HIGHLIGHT]]we don't eat inside because it's dirty and seats are uncomfortable. It's always super cold in winter and blazing hot in summer.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The cashier can't tell between coins and he lies about prices. Tomorrow I'm going to report this to BBB. read more

I came for chili cheese fries that I was craving and it hit the spot. Not the best I've ever had but did the trick. I'm not a big chili cheeseburger person. I'm more of a chili cheese fries only person. I prefer my burger plain. But I do want to try to the chili cheese dog next time. They have a small outdoor patio on the side for outdoor dining. read more
