    Got a Chill Burger and Chili Cheese Fries. If you follow OT on FB, you get updates on their current limited specials. So normally the Chili Cheese Fries are $7.40. The current limited special reduced it down to $3.99. Always been a big fan of their chill. You can actually buy a similar version of their chill at Smart & Final. Look for RC Provisions Chili Con Carne. It comes in a 5 lb frozen tube. My only issue today was that the Chill Cheese Fries were a little too salty. They were crispy. However, next time I will tell them to use no salt fries for the Chill Cheese Fries. Service was friendly and prompt.

    One thing I appreciate about Southern California is how strong our Burger and Fast Food culture is. Honestly, I'd tell people not from the area to try Tommy's before In-N-Out, so they have insight into what an LA burger is. Everything inside the bun comes together harmoniously and I love that DoorDash is offering a BOGO deal on the cheeseburgers.

    I'm a big Tommy's fans from when my father used to treat us to their burgers and hot dogs after his work. My father was as excited as I was. I love following them on IG for their weekly specials. If you don't, you don't know what you are missing. Got my favorite chili tamale this time. Ok, bye.

    Angel had the best customer service, super kind and quick. Everyone in the car said he deserves a raise. Food is always good

    Combo Meal #1

    I'm a long time fan of Original Tommy's having gone to the original location numerous times in Echo Park. Inflation has raised the price of the combo meal 1 to a whopping $18.01. Despite the price, I happen to be in LB and yelped that they have a location here which was on my way home. Pictures never do the burger justice and all I can say is "once you try, you cannot deny - Original Tommy's."

    While we were in the local area after running errands we chose to come to Tommy's. We drove thru the drive thru. We decided we would sit and eat in car. It was not so busy until after we recieved our food. The line got longer. I Just devoured my chili tamale I had been craving for some time now. One thing for sure they are never short of any chili ! There are 3 tables to sit down and dine there. There is no inside dining. We enjoyed our chili

    Rather good chili, I personally prefer the chilies to the burgers. Chili cheese fries are commendable as well.

    I was hesitant to visit this place because I seen a video posted about this location. The video had a rat jumping around the kitchen by the chili. This was about 4 years ago. Nevertheless we were hungry after a concert we attended. It was about 11pm, Ordered a double chilli burger and chilli fries. The food hit the spot! Everything was greasy and my taste buds were roaring with cholesterol! Lol. Overall, I recommend this place regardless of what I saw. Things can be corrected. Plenty of parking and about 5 tables outdoor seating. There is no indoor seating just fyi. I gave this place 4 stars just because of the time I got here. A bar across the street and a few crazies walking on anaheim street. Delicious :)

I love Portabello mushrooms, caramelized onions, and Persian cucumbers, so when I read that on the menu, I knew I had to order this, and I am not disappointed! This hit the spot. The smash patty topped with my favorites made for a perfect burger filling party. -the Don Chendo burger- the salsa Don Chendo on a jalapeño-Cheddar bun - culinary innovation at its finest! For non-spicy eaters like myself, you can eat this. This is definitely tolerable spice with a delicious flavor that overrules any "heat". The buttery, softness of the bun with the cheddar and jalapenos melted into it compliment the flavors of the patty, red onions and Chendo sauce. Having a burger is a rare craving for us, and thankfully our taste buds led us here this time that we did, because we were left, not only satisfied, but can safely say that this is one of the fewest Exceptional burgers we have tried thus far. Burgers are huge too! You def get more bang for your buck here. Staff was very welcoming, friendly and attentive toward us. We truly appreciated the warm greeting and them making sure we felt comfortable with their product deliveries coming in/out of the restaurant while we ate. Not too big & not too small of a place. Ample seating booths make for a comfy social occasion. We highly recommend to All! & will return again!

I've been in Long Beach for years now and have always just passed by this unassuming place, as it sort of blends in with the other small spots around here, but honestly, that should be why it stands out. It's all of these small spots that keep us all fed during these dark times. The atmosphere here is down to earth retro, and takes you back to simpler times for sure. The people here come from all walks of life, enjoying a big plate of something. The workers here are all wonderful and treat you like you came home for a meal cooked by a people who care about you.

Occasionally I would crave the fast food route and just go with something fast and easy. Well, it was wishful thinking. Right from the start with pulling into the driveway, the place was packed. There was 2 spots available for parking as we wanted to walk in and order but that didn't happened. The line to drive through wasn't moving so there was no way to park. Ended up just walking out while someone was waiting to park. Even when you walk in, the place was a little dysfunctional. People were just standing around so you didn't know who needed to order or who was waiting. There were 6 people infront of me waiting to order. The whole restaurant was packed so it must be good. Plus it could also be spring break and one of the places that was still open. Who knows.. The menu was a mixture of everything. You have breakfast dishes, sandwiches, burgers, salads, Mexican dishes and main entrees. A pleather of everything and the prices was very reasonable. I went with an order of the chicken quesadilla which was served with a heap of guacamole and shredded lettuce on the side. Portion was pretty massive for what it was. And an order of the chicken club sandwich which came with fries. Another item that was pretty massive. Plus a medium order of onion rings. If that order was medium, I wonder what the large would be as it was pretty big already. Plus they were ok, not major. They asked if you wanted chili peppers and ketchup upon pickup but ranch was an additional 1.05 if needed. With all that waiting and leaving, we noticed that the car infront of us when we drove in also left around the same time when they did drive through. I don't know what was going on last night but it sure brought out everyone. I guess it's a happening place. For the price, the food was quite nice and decent. It was pretty big for the order and very well priced.

I started with a cup of their beef and barley soup. My wife and I both make this at home from scratch and we're both impressed by theirs. My wife took a taste of mine and instantly ordered her own. Very rich and flavorful. I kept looking at photos of their take on chicken and waffles and knew I had to try it. Seriously epic and was good as it looked. They coated the chicken in a chili rub that gave it a sweet and spicy flavor when paired with their maple syrup. Served on top of a waffle and topped with an egg. I loved it and would probably order again on my next visit. My wife had the American plate which was your classic eggs, bacon, potatoes, and sourdough toast combo. High quality ingredients elevated it beyond your typical diner food. Drinks were great too. I had their house made bloody mary which had a nice kick to it.

TLDR; It's expensive, and not worth the routine visit, but worth the one-time stop in to experience the festivities. The Miracle pop-up at The Ordinarie is somehow even more decorated and extravagant than you'd expect from a seasonal pop-up. The line looks long outside, as there are no reservations, but it moves quickly since they hold everybody to a pretty strict 2-hour time limit. The drinks are good, the cups are cute, and everyone is festive. It's an all-around fun experience.  I think because of this, you do pay a premium price tag for food and drinks that are just good or okay. I think it's something that is worth the visit if you've never been and you enjoy getting into the Christmas spirit. I think that outside of the pop-up, The Ordinarie is a fun spot to check out in Long Beach. It't not a pillar of the food scene if you're a tourist, but it is a good, late night spot if you work in the industry nearby. They have a great late-night menu with a killer smash burger.

Their online menu does not indicate the sides available. It was at this time, 9 minutes later hung up. I tried to call back and the line was obviously busy. I placed my order online for burgers and fries and drove to pick my order up. It's not what I wanted but I knew what I was getting. When I arrived at the restaurant i asked her name. She said, Kate. I explained what happened and she indicated she forgot about the call. I told her good customer service would have been for her to come back to the phone if even to say, I hadn't forgot about you and will be with you shortly. She admitted I hadn't forgot a valid point. I ordered 2 burgers, a double cheeseburger and a bacon cheeseburger both with fries. To make matters worse the cheese was not even melted on the burger. Just a cold slice of cheese on both burgers. I had bit into the burger before realizing the cheese was cold and not melted or soft. I'm going to give Poly Burgers a rest. Today's experience was frustrating.
