    This shows/proves potential for each and every store.

    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!

    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.

    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

    Chili mess and reciept

    I go two to three times a week for the specials. Today I ordered two double cheese burgers with no chili, Extra tomantoes and pickles. One chili cheese Hot Dog, light chili. What I get, heavy chili..... scrape off the chili, no onions now, no cheese. He repeated the order and said heavy chili. I said no light chili. Oh that's what I meant Ez chili.... Bull THE KID GOT EVERYWHERE. Thanks

    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!!!

    Hey, living in the bay has me craving Tommy's because it's not around . I went to my hometown Tommy's and it was a great moment in time, especially because I happen to go on the chili cheese fries special for 2.50. Taste was on point like Chris Paul

    UNPROFESSIONAL AT 4am

    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. It is 4am I don't wanna argue or have a re cook I rather get my money and leave If you guys see this guy double check your food.

    This Tommy's is just as good as ever! I ALWAYS come here for the Classic breakfast sandwich with Chili! It's always loaded, messy, and delicious! Even though the price has increased a bit since the 2010s, it's definitely one of those classic places that's worth your Money!

    Todays drive-thru line took longer than I excepted, but nonetheless, I survived and left home a happy camper with my chili cheese fries and my raspberry ice tea. Still made it home warm enough for me to enjoy.

    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

    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.

    cleaning equipment left out in case you need to clean up after yourself or your kids oops mess.

    May 2026 - 2nd Visit…read more A girl broke things off with me today, and yet somehow eating here was the lowest point of my day. I don't understand how this place has won awards. I ordered a double hamburger and sweet potatoes fries bc I knew better than to order the sprouts after last time. And I have to say, the burger outdid itself after last time -- I've easily had dozens of better burgers in backyards. This burger had NO flavor. None. Halfway through eating it I realized they didn't put any effing pickles or sauce on it. WHAT?! How did you forget this?! But still, even without those, are you guys not smashing any season into your burger? I feel like I've discovered a conspiracy on par with the Da Vinci Code, which if I'm honest I'm not sure if that's a proper conspiracy analogy bc I never saw or read da Vinci code. Sucking a ketchup packet would've resulted in a more flavorful dinner. Licking a Hollywood blvd sidewalk for 3 seconds would give you a better sodium intake. But I digress. For health and digestive reasons (bc my digestive system is not really functional) I snuck in a radish to eat post burger. I am not kidding when I say the grocery store GMO Monsanto radish had more flavor than the burger. The sweet potato fries were the "highlight" of the meal and tasted as good as anything you'll get in a grocery store frozen aisle. There's no reason to ever go back.

The lady at the window was super nice! We decided to eat in the hallway adjacent to the kitchen, it was a nice warm night and the hall has a bunch of cool plants hanging Let's get into it!! I ordered the signature Goldburger and decided to add pastrami! Look at that! It's sliced thin and comes across kind of like a mound of bacon, melts in your mouth along with the rest of the burger. Very interesting combination it comes highly recommended! We went with curly fries cuz we are from the Midwest and there are no Arby's out here lol but I opted to grab a side of their classic sauce, which ROCKS! It was so good I was pouring it on the last few bites of my burger. Do yourself a favor and get some classic sauce and pour that stuff right on your burger, you won't be disappointed! Check it out!!

No overthinking it, just burgers done right. Both were solid, no complaints. Staff is cool too. Nice, patient, not rushing you even when it's busy, which I always appreciate. Only real downside is seating... but honestly that's kinda the deal with all their locations. You either find a spot or you're eating like you just made a life decision on the sidewalk. That said, it's still one of those spots you can just pull up to, get a good burger, and keep it moving. Next time I already know -- I gotta try the patty melt.

    May 17, 2026 12:15…read more Server Yaya Hawkins House of Burgers is a historic, family-owned restaurant in the city of Willowbrook/Watts area, Cynthia Hawkins is the owner. If you find yourself in the neighborhood you will realize quickly that it's not the best of neighborhoods. However you must stop by at least once at Hawkins to enjoy some hommade food. I had been wanting to come here for more than several years. Since I knew I'd be driving by them on my way back from visiting someone. I made sure to stop today and try them. There was several people sitting in cars and standing waiting for their orders. They have door dash and all these other delivery options. Most of there orders are delivery. We overlooked the menu and decided what we were going to get. We ordered 1 fat cheese without onions and tomato combo 1 triple cheese burger combo with large chili cheese fries added pastrami 1 peach cobbler The order came to $52. And some change There menu is American, specializing in burgers, but also serving tacos, hot dogs, chili cheese fries, and burritos. Menu highlight is the "Farmer Otis Burrito" (a 2-foot-long burrito) and options with pastrami and hot links. There menu options are huge just keep that in mind when ordering. We waited for our order for about 40 minutes. Remind yourself fresh and good things take time. My burger was so fresh packed with flavors the meat crispy the mayo and mustard on my buns made me wanting more. The pickles were delicious. Now for that triple burger make sure you bring your hunger that's no burger to play around with. 3 large patties just might send you into burger coma. Those large chili pastrami fries are a meal within themselves. We barley put a dent into them and gave up we were full. Now for dessert that Peach Cobbler was deliciously homemade. Only thing missing was some whipped cream. The cinnamon and nutmeg in each bite was mouth watering.
