Midnight munchies MAY2026
Franklin M.

If you want the best chili burgers in LA County make sure to stop at one of the Original restaurants. We ordered a #1 combo double cheeseburger with chili cheese fries and requested the burger to be cut in half. It was served extra sloppy with additional chili and it was delicious as always. The shared combo was more than enough to satisfy our midnight munchies.

Chili Cheese Fries
Vickie V.

I had this food delivered and the order error is no fault of the driver but of the restaurant. All of my food was ordered WITHOUT onions. What does the restaurant do? Douse my chili cheese fries with onions. I detest onions except in very limited circumstances - this was not one of these circumstances. Tommy's ruined a beautiful pairing of food by having me go without my fries. I know what you're thinking, just remove the onions. Can't do that because onions leave behind their flavor on whatever they touch. Now that I've complained enough about my fries, onto the other items. My burger was tasty but it was a mess, it definitely wasn't prepared with care. The entire burger fell apart but you betcha I ate every last bite after my fry disappointment. Since I was having this delivered, I needed a certain order total to use a promo code so I got a chili hotdog. I never tried this item before and I was surprised at how good this was. When I think Tommy's, a burger immediately comes to mind but this is a definite must try item, guys. The pairing of the chili with pickles and a tomato on a crunchy dog was . We all know this is "trash" food and as far from healthy as you can get but it's oh so yummy, especially when they don't eff up your fries. This will satisfy a comfort food craving, but I would probably recommend picking up your order to ensure the workers understand your order. I've been to this location and can assure you street parking is easy to find.

No extra chili at all.

Sad that the manager refuses to make the food per the order. I orders two chili burgers and a chili dog with extra chili. They usually put the extra chili on top of the patty. No more. Extra chili is like a regular chili burger.

Special discount deals/ads dropped into your news feed if you follow Tommy's on their IG .

Let me tell you one thing....this place most definitely hits the spot after a night at the bar...actually vefore, during and after. I put down three strong margaritas at Amigos restaurant and cantina in Pasadena and wanted some kate night eats. Say no more...Tommy's to the rescue: I ordered the chili tamales..on other days I opted for delicious and filling chili cheeseburgers or chili fries. Sho' am good. Mention the special discounted ads that run every week and eat damn good for a bargain...definitely sho' am good!

Sausage and Egg Sandwich with Cheese

Breakfast of Champions... chili-cheese fries and sausage breakfast sandwich! Wanted something different for breakfast and this is perfect!

Great food, prompt and friendly service with a nice al fresco sitting area. Tommy's won't ever go out of fashion! Most slept on menu item, their breakfast burrito. It's so unique!

Had to stop on my way to BUR airport.

Fast friendly window service. The fries were the best fast food joint fries I've had in years! So crispy on the outside and soft and pillowy on the inside! Yum! I ate it right there at the side tables, so everything was hot! Stuff may not be good for me but damn, it's so good!

Chili Cheeseburger! So messy but oh so good!
Jan Z.

Oh Tommy's, how I love you so--but as I've gotten older, my stomach seems to like you less and less! Nowhere is it more fun to grab a late night bite of hot, cheesy chili cheese fries and a messy chili cheeseburger than this decidedly un-fancy, non-pretentious burger stand on Colorado Blvd. in Eagle Rock. This is a place that knows what they're good at--their food--and doesn't put too much effort into things like ambience, overly friendly service, or amenities. You know that things are about to get messy when your meal comes with a small stack of paper towels! My favorite dish here since childhood has been their one-of-a-kind chili cheese fries, featuring thick-cut fries, a ladle full of slightly spicy no-bean chili, and a slice of American cheese served in a little boat in a cardboard box. The nostalgic taste, coupled with just the right amount of heat from the chili, the cheesiness, and a little messiness can't be beat. Their breakfast burrito featuring chili and a crispy hash brown are an unexpected surprise as well. Lately, they've upped their social media game and now offer periodic coupons/special offers on their IG and Facebook pages, so follow them for sporadic special offers--many of which are a great opportunity for a cheap and delicious meal! Tommy's accepts credit card and Apple Pay as well for your convenience! So overall: -The Good: Affordable, delicious food. Just a little messy, probably just a little unhealthy, but their chili game is strong here! -The Bad: Lines can be long and parking spots are hard to come by here! -The Ugly: No healthy options to be found here. Bring a Tums or some Pepto Bismol if you've got a sensitive stomach. You have been warned :)

All the food but no fork for the Chili tamale
Rosa V.

Classic burger and endless chili options ! Chili burger, fries, tamale , bucket of chili ! Simple menu little pricey for the combos. Old school thick fries ! Lots of onions and pickles. Got the chile tamale and other was a heaping lump of chile and tamale masa old school would not order again. Classic burger was mehhh

I have to make this stop while I'm in California.. so far only unique to So Cal. The taste has so far been always what I remember, warm chili on two hot hamburger patties with a thick juicy slice of tomato, sprinkled with onions. The Eagle rock one I went last night had a drive through, the service was fast and good , I was given extra yellow peppers. Even though this is a new location to me the ambiance is very similar to the original location with the red roof.

I have carried life's burden and traveled continents, but one thing remains the same after my many moons of life, the taste of a Big Mac. The taste of a burger so consistent and familiar, that my tastebuds can traverse continents and taste fermented shark in the Netherlands, broiled Mackerel in Kyoto, or a cheeseburger in Reykjavik. The Big Mac stays the same. I went to LA to taste, apparently, the best burger in LA at For the Win. I paid $25 for two smash burgers and had high expectations. After all, when you click this joint on Google Maps, a fancy review pops up. Nice! However, when the smash burger entered my cave and caressed my buds, my mind instantly recognized it as a Big Mac. Therefore, my brain could hardly differentiate between a McDonalds burger, and the "best" burger in LA. I haven't eaten at McDonalds in 14 years, but my mind still knew what a gentle and warm face looks like. So overall, it was alright! As the reverend Shane Gillis says "Not Bad". The service was good tho. And the ambiance was a bit weird because the music was off. Haha bye!!!

This…read moreplace has amazing burgers when they actually follow the receipt and do what they're supposed to. However on more than one occasion they have failed to live up to that expectation. At first I thought it was a discrepancy on the sites I was using but their carelessness on their be half has continued to show. In my most recent experience it has led me to write this review. I came here on Sunday night after working a twelve hour day doing hair and ordered $63.94 worth of food. When I received my food I was given four burgers. I originally ordered 3. The young man at the counter was saying he didn't know why but I could have it and it was fine. After I received my food I went to the drink fountain which was completely overfilled and leaking on the floor as well as the drink counter space making the area look nasty and unkept. I notified the young black guy and he walked over and proceeded to clean it and I ordered my uber home. My uber was 37 dollars. When my uber driver asked me how I liked IRVS I ranted and raved with nothing but compliments expressing how pleasing their burgers are. When I arrive home I opened my food and my entire meal with the exception of one burger (which was messed up since they ran out of bacon) was wrong. Not to mention they upcharge for any little changes you make to your food so to get home and see my order was messed up had me extremely disappointed. When I went to call them nobody would pick up it's as though the phone was off the hook. Two people in my household said they'd make due with what they had and I'm sorry but my taste buds wanted my chili con carne ($4.55 up charge and my added grilled yellow peppers another upcharge) so I did uber back up there and at this point I am fuming. I asked for my money back and in an attempt to hurry up and get me out the facility I was given it back. However I also wanted my burger. I was still willing to pay however the Hispanic man with the stretchers in his ear thought it was cute to say I already gave you your money back and you didn't even bring all the food back. A part of me wanted to take the burgers and throw them at him but instead I looked laughed and said yeah I won't be ordering here anymore and proceeded to let the customers in line know they have a tendency of messing up orders and to be sure to double check their items. This location sucks as mentioned before they have messed up my order on a good amount of occasions and I just chunked it up to the fact that those times I was on a courier app but to have my food messed up and then they knew they messed up they tried to throw in a free burger to compensate is just trifling. I spent 70+ dollars just on ubering from there and back up there and they didn't even try to remake the burger is just crazy. I would've been okay even with a discount on making a new burger. Customer service is f***ing 0/10 . I should've known it was going to be a mess when they said they were out of bacon and when I looked at the disgusting soda machine. These fellas didn't care about customer retention or keeping loyal customers satisfied. Throw the whole crew away or at least get a better crew.

I think it was the Chinatown location that didn't work for them. However, the good news is that they do have three other locations and if you have never been, I suggest you check Kroft out if you love burgers, especially smashed. The other locations are in Long Beach, Anaheim, and Rancho Cucamonga. I wish them luck and I will definitely be stopping in their other locations if I am ever in the area.
