Today's special is buy one get one free. Therefore, I ordered a cheese burger and got two. The burger is ok. The chili is good as usual. Got a big root beer with little ice. On my way to the Hollywood Bowl to watch a concert by Smokey Robinson and get to watch a second performer, Gladys Knight. It has simply one of these day. Life is good. Ray out. read more

In all my years, I've never been to a Tommy's, even though I had one near me in Santa Monica, and this one here in Hollywood when I lived in the same city. For me, it's the chili that turns me off as I am not a fan of this food at all. Growing up, my family always made it with kidney beans which I don't eat, so I always thought chili was made with these (obviously learned later this was not the case). When a friend was craving Tommy's, I finally caved in to try it for myself. For this visit, I went for the #4 California cheeseburger with fries and a medium drink. I had a little trouble understanding the staff but once we were on the same page, everything was good. This was not bad; fries were decent and the burger was a big one. My first meal at Tommy's wasn't bad. Friend was raving about their strawberry milkshake so I returned later on my own for a chocolate one. Wasn't sure if this was the kind I can't stand (vanilla ice cream with chocolate syrup instead of chocolate ice cream) but I finished it. Glad Tommy's isn't too far, and after a couple visits, I may add it into my rotation- read more

It was my first time visiting this location. I stopped by on a Saturday evening since I was in the area. They have a parking lot and drive thru which is convenient. I decided to dine in and there were only two other people eating inside. There was a security guard by the front door and she had the key to the restroom. I ordered the chili cheese fries and they were good! read more

Tommy's on Hollywood Blvd is a regular stop for me when I am going to the pantages theater. Just off the 101, about 3/4 mile from the theater. Nothing satisfies quite like a chili cheese burger and chili cheese fries. Tommy's still tastes great and reminds me of my younger years. Order and pay at the counter. Grab a bunch of paper towels and grab a table. The counter staff will call your number in just a few minutes when they have completed your personal masterpiece. There's a drive through if you don't want to get out of your car. Once your number is called sit down and revel in the delicious chili covering your burger and fries. Yes I know that I will probably have some heartburn, but it's well worth it. read more

The Original Tommy's marked the third stop for a burger on our trip; one that happened extremely impromptu while searching for a fountain Pepsi for one of our family. On our way up to the desert hills Under the Hollywood sign this seemed like the perfect place as it had a drive through to quickly pick up said Pepsi, and then it struck me... I may as well get their signature burger as I was already here, and that is how I ended up with the monstrosity of Tommy's Original Chili Cheeseburger. While I can understand the potential draw of such a sandwich as it has incredible potential to be delicious, this was definitely the worst burger I had on my trip, and among one of the worst fast food burgers that I have had in my many years. The problem here stems from the fact that I have nothing to compare it to. I have never had one of their sandwiches before and I have not experience a fast food equivalent for something like it. I do know that the burger patty was thin and almost flavorless and the chili was also thin and the seasoning very strange, almost like a Cincinnati chili with a chocolatey sweet flavor. I did not have a chance to go into the restaurant because we simply hit the drive through very quickly. My experience may have been different had I sat down, or even went to another distinct location. If I have the chance to visit LA again, I will give them another shot because the menu offerings were so different and the whole place gives off a very 1970's unique vibe. If you like burgers and are searching for all the strange and wonderful burger types you can try across the country, then I recommend you try Original Tommy's, but otherwise until I can reassess their food, I would steer clear! read more

The gentleman working the counter at 6:15 pm August 31st 2026 was very rude!!!! After ordering food I was presenting funds to use apple pay, I told him it'll be just a second he rudely cancels the order and yells NEXT CUSTOMER! There were only 2 customers in the place which included myself. I'd been a Tommy's customer for 20 years. Not going back ever my friend, humility goes a long way, he should get some. read more

I was first introduced to Tommy's when I moved to California back in 2005. I left California in 2015 and usually try to got back once or twice a year but I always neglect to stop at a Tommy's. Not on this trip. To be honest, Chicago has better food, but every now and then you do crave a nice chili cheese burger. Something Chicago is definitely lacking. I came here for just that. I'm glad to see the flavor and quality is still there. The burger tastes just how I remember it. The prices have definitely gone up, but still worth it for this amazing burger. Their chili cheese dogs and chili cheese fries are good as well but I only had a burger this time. Service was great and the restaurant was clean as well. Would definitely recommend this place. read more

Tommy's on Hollywood Blvd is chaos done right. The burgers? Hot enough to melt your fingerprints. The chili? A glorious mess of molten lava that'll ruin your shirt and make you thank it for the privilege. And somehow, through it all, the service is professional -- a minor miracle in this part of town. For a while, though, eating here came with... extras. Out front was a homeless guy running a full fish tank powered by a generator. I'm talking bubbling water, neon glow, the whole Finding Nemo setup. It was like dining in a deleted scene from Blade Runner. But here's the good news: he's gone. The fish tank's gone. The generator's gone. And for the first time in years, I can inhale a double chili cheeseburger without dodging extension cords or wondering if I'm about to get drafted into some dystopian street cult. Four stars. Three for the food, service, and consistency -- and one extra star because the aquarium-slash-generator situation finally packed up and left. Tommy's is back to being Tommy's, and I can finally eat in peace. read more

Tommys......I would go when burgers were $1.25. The meat was hot off the grill with that thick chili. Now it's substandard with fries a soda fountain...back in the day it was the burger a bag of chips & a can soda, delicious! The original on Beverly now serve soft ice cream cones, tamales, hot dogs.....get outta' here w/that. The workers are not friendly and the ambiance remains, grab your food, eat outside on one of the wooden counters or in your car: read more

Los Angeles institution. Always a great experience. Food made well and fast. I personally don't think it's the tastiest chili but I'm never not getting one when I visit Los Angeles. Open until 2a helps too as I was staying in the area and hungry after walking back from Hollywood Bowl after a concert. read more

Tommy's rule! The ingredients are fresh, the food is tasty and the chili cheese fries are so good! What I love about them is that it's always consistent and tasty. The employees are nice and they make great food! read more

Breakfast burrito: Tasty, greasy, an absolute gut bomb but satisfying. They offer hot pickled peppers on the side, which are great and just about necessary to cut through the grease. Definitely tastes like fast food but in a nice satisfying way, with that signature Tommy's chili flavor front and center. Plan on having light and healthy food for the rest of the day if you start your morning with this. Definitely an occasional splurge - it will be a while before I do this again. $10.13 out the door, and this will satisfy even the mightiest appetites or worst hangovers. This location, right on Hollywood Boulevard at the intersection with the 101, is reasonably clean and has cheerful service, with plenty of indoor seating. Ample parking at 8:30 AM on a Thursday. read more

The service was horrible. They acted like we came in 10 minutes before close! Completely rude and made us wait over 10 minutes to get our order taken and then we ordered peppers on our fries and they gave us 2 little chopped pieces. The tables were dirty and the area wasnt great. I love Tommy's but this location was so rude read more

From time to time when we have family coming into town and do the whole touristy thing, we like to swing by Tommy's for their chili burgers. This location is off the 101 on Hollywood Blvd across from the 76 gas station. They carry a variety of menu items like their chili burgers, chili fries, chili dogs and even chili tamales! You don't have to get chill on everything they do have breakfast items, fries, regular hamburgers, and so forth, but they are known for chili burgers! Whenever we have gone, we have never had problems with the service as they are usually pretty quick and friendly. The bathrooms are not really all that great so I try not to go unless I really have to go. Usually have to retrieve the key at the counter in order to have access. I don't go here for the bathrooms though..I come here for the food. Parking outside is usually pretty easy to find parking. All in all, Tommy's is not a bad place for a quick bite. Just get a lot of napkins as it can get a bit messy lol! read more

I was traveling on the Hollywood freeway when huger hit me like a ton of bricks. As I exited the freeway at Sunset Blvd, Tommy's was the first place I noticed It is 845 and I am not in the mood to have a burger for breakfast but my hunger is greater than common sense at this point so I entered the drive-thru. I noticed a breakfast sandwich and burrito on the menu so I ordered the breakfast sandwich. I didn't know what to expect but I was pleasantly surprised as I ate my sandwich. Though I requested no pickles, a English muffin and no mayo, somehow the lady who took my order somehow understood me to say extra pickles, burger bun and add extra mayo. Oh well! Despite this miscommunication, service was good and the employee was very friendly I am sure my stomach will be a bit bubbly later this morning but it's all good read more

This place sucks waited in line for 1 hour with 2cars in front of me and 3 people who walked up. no clue why the wait was so long

Every single day I pray on your downfall. Huge parking lot: always empty. Disgusting food. Disgusting smells emanating over the intersection of hollywood and bronson. No one is ever inside ordering. No one is ever picking up food for Uber Eats delivery. You're in such a prime spot on hollywood blvd. Please dear god sell the land to someone who actually makes good food. How are you even still open? The only time I ever saw anyone there was when you sold your shit product for 80 cents. RETIRE!!! read more

Very Meh. I guess it is a place for chili cheese burgers, but the food is generally not very remarkable. Burger paddies are super thin; the chili is more like a gravy; and they wrap the burger in paper that partly dissolves when in contact with the chili. Not sure why this place is "world famous" or really why it is still around. read more

I live not too far from this Tommy's and I was usually stopped in to get a combo meal, The service was atrocious and first they made my food not to go then they remade my fries and in chili I requested on the side but what had happened ISIS that they totally changed their burger recipe there was no large tomato or lettuce in my burger it was totally greasy the food was unsatisfying the chili was old and gelatinous I do not recommend eating it this time the only thing that was decent was the salty fries and even they were not fluffy and as good as usual I don't know what happened to the quality at this Tommy's cause I just ordered a couple of months before the same combo and it is totally gone downhill If I could give 0 stars I would this was the atrocious experience and I will not be coming back! read more

WHERE'S THE BEEF!!!!, you ask? Oh, it's buried somewhere under a mountainous pile of lettuce at Tommy's Famous Burgers--because who needs protein when you've got greens, right? This place was an absolute delight--if by "delight" you mean a sad, lettuce-drenched tragedy. If you're in the mood for a salad that just pretends to be a burger, congratulations, you've found your culinary nirvana. Honestly, I can't even fathom how this place got its "famous" status, unless it's for breaking records in burger patty paper-thinness. The patty was so thin, I half-expected to see through it. I'm talking ghost patty thin. The cheese? Oh, bless its heart--it was thicker than the actual meat. And that tomato? Somehow it became the most substantial thing in the burger. Who knew a humble tomato would outshine a burger in its own burger? But the true star of the show was the lettuce, obviously. At some point, I had to double-check if I was in a salad bar or a burger joint. The lettuce seemed to have staged a coup and was trying to overthrow every other ingredient in the sandwich, suffocating everything with its leafy dominance. As for the flavor? Lettuce, with a hint of tomato. It was like chewing on a garden, with only a whiff of meat trying to remind you of its existence. But hey, let's give credit where credit's due: the fries were actually fantastic, like they were the only thing keeping the whole operation from falling apart. And speaking of speed, the service was so fast it was like they knew their "burger" couldn't stay together for more than a couple of seconds. They probably just threw it together in a rush--who can blame them? That patty was practically air. And at $34 for two burgers and fries, I think I just paid the world's most expensive lettuce sandwich. Never again, Tommy. Next time I crave a "burger," I'll make sure it's not a leafy disappointment with a side of regret. read more

I came by after I did my metabolic panel at the lab to come see my favorite people at Tommy's Original in Hollywood. I haven't seen them in a long minute since I went LCHF. It was perfect timing as they had their double cheese promo going. I ordered two doubles without the bun. I had to pass on the fries but I wanted them so badly. Lol. read more

This Tommy's is our favorite. This one is on Hollywood Blvd. and it is a storefront, new, spotless and clean. You can go through the drive thru, eat in or take away and there is a third party delivery service. If you like greasy chili burgers this is the place for you. They are the best. They also will put chili on anything, fries, hot dogs or alone. It is never super crowded and the service is fast and very nice. They make your food to order and it will come to you hot and ever so tasty. It is just the best junk food you will ever have and forget your diet and you may need a Tums after with all that chili. They also have chicken and a good selection of soft drinks and shakes. Parking is free and always easy. Have the best time. read more

My mother & I came here after a Long Griffith Park hike ! The chili cheese from here is the best!

Never had a problem with service. Love how they have shakes & the place is always clean! read more

I've been doing to Tommy's for as long as I can remember. I usually go to the OG one but this was a last minute impromptu 12 am drive thru extravaganza. Convinced my bf to drive before they closed by paying for the food! That's how you bribe him. Anyways we got there no line of course, the worker was really nice to us lol for arriving there 1 minute till closing. But anyways we're simpletons and just wanted two chili cheeseburgers and a side of fries and the bf got a root beer float The food has tasted the same all these years but something about it being from the Og shack hits different. Again i was hungry and just came to this one as it was closer to me. But Yupp I'll be a Tommy's girl till i die don't care how ugly the food looks, it's the taste that magg read more

I won't eat it all the time but when I do it's just bomb. No other place has better chillie than Tommy's Burgers.

headed to this place for some breakfasr burrito with chili. place is located in its one stand alone building. plenty of parking. exterior and interior has the look of and old school 1950s diner. with its employee uniforms and decor. clean and chain store type of look layout and decor. simple menu of burgers and hotdogs with their signautue beanless meat chili on everything. they also have breakfast items. so decided on their breakdast burrito with sausage patty, hasbrown tater tot style patty, folded egg, amerixan cheese, and their house chili on the side. total damage $12. waited 15mins amd got the food. and the verdrict? its good. burrito was decent size, tortilla hot and crispy, sauasge hashbrown all hot amd nice flavor and doneness. and their house chili also good. but little too gummy like they added too much thickener or something but tasty anyway. will get again anytime. they also give you some banana peppers. nice spice when eat it with the burrtio. simple and good food. will comeback for their chili burgers and dogs. read more

This Tommy's location is beloved by many late night club goers as a place to sober up and recap the night after clubbing on Hollywood Blvd. The service is great and the food is still tasty, especially the chili cheese fries which held up well during a 45 minute drive. The breakfast burrito was also a hit with my friend who plans to make it a regular breakfast choice, although the menu is not the healthiest option. Overall, a hearty stop for food at the end of the night. read more

My first visit I would have given it a solid three stars, the chili cheese fries were all right, the regular fries were good and I was pleasantly surprised by the Caliente Burger. It's close-ish, it's open 24 hours and it will do the trick when necessary. At least that's why I thought when I went again, later in the evening and this time instead of going with what I knew thought I would try a chili-cheese dog instead. I thought the chili was okay the first time, so on a hot dog? Would be a pretty safe bet. I was wrong, I think the the 7-11 has better chili cheese dogs. In fact, I know they do, because I've had 7-11 chili cheese dogs (don't judge) and they were better than the flat, tasteless meat tube they have here. I will probably come back again when it's on the later end of an evening but it will be a while before the memory of that hot dog passes from my mind. read more
