One of the first California meals I ever had was at this location quite a few years ago. I don't eat Tommy's often but when I do I always want to go here for nostalgia. Usually after a night out Tommy's hits like nothing on the planet. Except maybe white castles iykyk. I've always ordered the same thing. Double chili cheeseburger light onions light mustard. Chili cheese fries and a soda. Sometimes it's just really good and some times it's incredible. This recent time it was incredible. Went through the drive thru. Got home about 15 mins later. Still piping hot. Tommy's is an institution and I'm here for it! Everyone deserves to spoil themselves. read more

If I could give this place negative stars I most definitely would. I miss Tommy's burgers, Bakersfield shutdown all locations. As I drove to Target I spotted it and stopped for the epic fries I grew up with. The fries have changed, the cut and seasoning is no longer what once was. I simply ordered fries and a large water with no ice. I was charged for the water as a regular drink and as I stated the fries sucked! The drive thru time to receive my items was ridiculous. I get change is good but this changed worked for the worst. I guess only good thing I can say about this place is that it is open 24hrs othet than that nothing else and their drive thru is shaped weird, it's easy to scratch a rim or your mirror if you not very careful. read more

I stopped by this Original Tommy burger place after seeing their Instagram deal on the chili double cheeseburger. I haven't came to this place since my college days. I found parking easily in the private lot this place has. When I walked inside, they were not busy and I was the only customer. I asked about the deal and they honored it. I got the chili double cheeseburger, asked for no chili,onion or pickles on it. I also ordered fries and a pepsi. My food didn't take long to come out and I ate it inside of the place. I thought the burger was okay and the fries was fine too. It just needed a little more seasoning which they used to give before. read more

Always a delicious chili cheese burger. Tried the Caliente hot dog. It was definitely caliente, spicier than I thought it would be. Chili cheese fries are always my absolute favorite. Chili cheese burger is always a must as well. All the me workers were super nice and helpful. This place is classic and still looks and reminds me of eating there when I was a kid. read more

This particular Tommy's is special to me because it was the first time I ever had a Tommy Burger, back in 1969. It was crowded then and crowded now. Just as tasty as ever. I'm wondering how such a long-standing successful money making operation looks like a garbage dumpster? It is shocking at what a dump this place looks like. Bathrooms are always an indicator of what the owner cares about his image and customer experience. These guys obviously don't give a crap. Yet, with all that being said, the food and service are amazingly on point! A Tommy's should always be a 5 star, no excuse. Hopefully management will spend some of their gold bars on fixing this place up, one day! read more

my big sister came from tennessee to visit and she wanted tommies too expensive but she loved the combo she got!

Awesome! Food was great our server in the drive thru was Isabella and she nailed the order. Not easy to do when we were ordering for 8 people!! But she got everything perfect! Bagged and boxed well. I love this location they always get it right and the food is always so good. In and out of the drive thru so fast. This restaurant is always so clean. Love it here!! I have worked in a drive thru before it's not so easy getting all that perfect but she did thanks for making our night great!! read more

Anytime we're in town, a visit to Tommy's is a must. Chili cheese fries and burgers are always good, but my favorite is the chili cheese hot dog, That wiener has got to have a natural casing because it's got a good snap, the chili, cheese, onions, and a whole tomato on top all work in harmony. Add a bite of chili to cleanse your palate and it's all good. The staff are always quick. The location is in the hood, but that's what makes it taste better. read more

Ordered through the drive thru; it was quick & they got our order correct. Their chili cheese is the best thing about this place & it's nothing special tbh. Their burger buns and meat are super dry & their patties are not snag burgers but are super thin. They upcharge so you can get a thicker meat patty 1/4 pounder Haven't come here since hs & probably won't be back unless it's super late at night & nothing else is open read more

Went to Tommy the other day the. Food was ok not great the large drink had no flavor that was disappointing

terrible experience with Manuel C in the drive through today because I heard about a special on a double cheeseburger for only $4.99 for national cheeseburger day. Once Manuel C told me it was almost $9 I told him about the special. At the window, he lectured me that his boss and his bosses boss and his bosses bosses boss does NOT want anyone to know about this specials price. He was so rude and I don't really think it's my fault that they are having a special is it? read more

Lazy lazy lazy lazy ... I asked for chopped chilies in my burger like the Caliente burger they have on MENU ... and the employees on duty said they didn't have chopped chilies. Then I got up to the window & asked for chilies & got some to take home ... make it make sense y'all. Tommy's used to be ran like a well oiled machine. You'd ask for something & the people in the kitchen would step up & try & accommodate. It was amazing Now, however ... they won't even pick up a dang knife & chop the chilies for you because "I don't get paid for that." This is why In-N-Out runs circles around y'all, because you employ LAZY LAZY LAZY people that don't care about servicing the customer. read more

I live in Louisiana and I have to be on vacation in LA to get my fix. I left LAX and headed straight here. The burgers are excellent! Thick slices of tomato pickles onion mustard and a healthy dose of chili! The staff is right there serving food from the counter and getting it to you hot and fresh! They have plenty napkins (I used 5 or 6) and they keep the place clean. It's well lit plenty of seating. I'm gonna come back on my way home, and visit another Tommy's in Palmdale too!!! read more

Came here to try it for the first time and the cashier Jovany D. Needs a raise. The way she guided me through the menu and was very patient with my questions made me feel less annoying. She even explained add ons and substitutions for me. What a wonderful experience!!! read more

This place is my favorite breakfast spot for a quick (big) bite before work. I would highly recommend the breakfast sandwich with egg. It comes with a a sausage patty, egg, their famous chili with tomato, onion and pickles all wrapped up in a hamburger bun. You can add cheese if you want. Not the healthiest breakfast but a it sure it delicious. The tamale with the chili on top is another honorable mention. The services is fast although they take a few minutes to make your food. There is a drive thru for convenience. Shout out to Manuel and Jamilette who always get my order correct and my yellow peppers. read more

Came to eat late at night here and was rushed and forced to wait 20 min in drive thru only for my order to be incorrect and have disrespectful service by this grown man.

I work graveyard so I I have come into this location several times and both times in the late hours the crew does not heat up the chili every time I've eaten it. It's not even warm very disappointed. I do not recommend this location late at night as the crew seems a little lazy, not wanting to do the extra step & reheat the chili very disappointing unfortunately I no longer go to this location and I would suggest you avoid it late night. read more

I love this location because it is opened 24/7. That means you have access to the best chili cheese fries in Los Angeles County. Coming in a close second is the Hat and third and fourth would be Bobo'd and Johnny's Pastrami but I digress. This chili is best eaten hot, with melted cheese and I like grilled onions. They also have pickles, banana hot peppers and ketchup. I enjoy the chili cheese hamburger as well. They have double and (I think) triple burgers but one layer is plenty for me especially since I add chili and all the fixings (onion, pickles, tomatoes). This location is pretty fast whether you walk inside or go through the drive thru. Good customer service as well. They are also reasonably priced for the portion sizes. They package the meal well, and yes I do lick the chili off of the parchment paper it's wrapped in lol. Yea, I have nothing bad to say about this place. read more

I have never picked up a delivery that took more than 30 minutes for a store to make. I understand that the receipt machine wasn't working, but it should not take that long to make an order as my customer began arguing with me through text and ended up losing two orders. I tried my best to be nice and patient, but really I was very frustrated and there was a group of drivers waiting a while for the orders. The customer service here has always been OK as the workers aren't that friendly to interact with. An example would be today when I asked if the order for the customer was ready, the worker wouldn't even answer me as she shook her head and didn't respond and continued working when I already waited over 20 minutes at that point. I don't appreciate losing half an hour of my night and the lack of communication of when the orders will be ready. Also, they were giving too much help for one customer as he gave multiple requests and asked a lot of questions about what he wanted for his order when I arrived before waiting the 30 minutes. This place needs to do better and I hope that this changes for the better. read more

slowest drive through out of all restaurants in the World!! I must be on Candid Camera? Did they bring it back.

Been a staple for years, literally grew up on this stuff, chili cheese fries w extra onions is a personal favorite, I've heard the world famous chili can be found at Smart N Final under a different brand, I've also heard the secret ingredient is chorizo read more

We didn't take advantage of Tommy's while it was just down the street from us. The chili looks unappetizing but it is so good. Their chili cheese fries is one of my favorites. We went late at night so food came out quickly and we devoured it so fast. Service was ok. read more

Just had the chili dog and it seems they replaced the original hot dog. The dog was so dense in texture without it's juicy bite that I remember. The fries were cold and so was the chili. Not to mention I was given the wrong drink with not enough ice. What's going on... customers love hot steamy food especially if going through the drive thru! It's called a hot dog for a reason. Don't blame the tomato for the coldness either because if the hot dog was hot and the chili was too it would warm up the tomato! So disappointed # ( read more

If you wanna get high blood pressure this is for you. The worker is SO RETARDED I wouldn't come here if the food was good though. We had to go back in there TWICE for the same thing got wrong. We made it clear and specific. Most likely not coming back. read more

Drive thru too long of a wait to get your food! Been to others and never have taken so long. 30mins wait!

Drive thru took forever. With no explanation, no apologies, nothing. It just took forever.

Great late late night snack if you are looking for a cheap burger. If you are down to wait 20 minutes in the drive through line, then Tommys is the way for you. Chili cheese fries and chili burger are pretty decent. The chili here isnt bad but not that great in my opinion. read more

This company trys to bar you from sueing them via arbitration where they have leverage I suggest you file complaint with (Civil rights department) and recover unpaid wages through (labor commision).This company is greedy and treats their employees bad.This company is bad news.

Manuel C. Is awesome. He's provided the best drive thru customer service experience in my entire adult life. Very articulate, very knowledgeable of the price and comprehensive of the menu. It was the most impressive and pleasant experience I've ever had at 6:36am . He needs a raise. Not the mention the food was great as well. Thank you read more

It's the same thing over and over rude attitudes from the cooks to managers. The Manage (I believe it was) ask another employee to take my order and she literally looked at her rolled he eyes and turned around. If they don't like working and love there job they need to go and take customer service classes. The only main reason I come here is cause my son likes the chili cheese fries after school read more
