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!

Menu. July 2025.

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.

Not the best pastrami sandwich I've had, but solid. -side of fries - great with the garlic sauce! -filipino burger - forgot the name of this, might have been a special, tasty burger filipino style with longganisa, would get this again!

Their classic burger has a perfectly toasted bun, it has a really beefy burger patty, and it has that perfect balance of all the veggies. If you want a bacon cheeseburger, their "bacon crispinator" doubles down on crispiness with their bacon and onion strings, but it's balanced with melty cheese. My wife ordered their oinkster pastrami, which we also enjoyed thoroughly. They serve a thin pastrami here, but our sandwich was absolutely loaded with it. Their mustard has nice flavor and a kick that balances everything. My favorite thing here are their fries with garlic aioli. Make sure you also get their house made chipotle ketchup, which has addictive sweet and tangy flavors. Overall, Oinkster was far better than I remember from my last visit over ten years ago. This is not a mom-and-pop burger spot - the food and condiments are definitely elevated and homemade, which makes a difference, and I'll definitely be back.

The Bucket was one of my favorite places to get a filthy burger, and in Eagle Rock, several of my favorites could be found, such as Original Tommy's Hamburger, The Oinkster, and Pete's Blue Chip. A very good friend of mine recently mentioned that this place had reopened and enjoyed a burger without inviting me! So, I had to see and taste for myself. If I remembered correctly, they had been closed for a while, and then I guess got resurrected. Apparently, they had been around since 1935, and when I started eating here, they had hilarious burger names, such as Cardiac Arrest, Heart Attack... you got the idea. Would this bucket contain all of the fond memories of years past!? PURCHASE(S) Firestone Walker Brewing Co. Trumer Pils German Pilsner Beer 4.9% ABV 16floz Draft ($7.00): Clear amber color, cider hoppy aroma, low body, crisp light hoppy flavor, smooth finish, and dry light hoppy aftertaste - a very easy brew. Double Western Burger ($10.35): A simple burger made with American cheese, lettuce, tomato, pickles, onion rings, and BBQ sauce all between a fluffy bun, this messy two-hander was strong with its thick patties and stuff squeezing out all over the place. This was a finger-licking good burger at a really nice price! [ONION RINGS/STRAWS/STRINGS ALERT - 4.0 of 5.0 STARS] Onion Rings w/Aiolo Dipping Sauce 7pc ($5.65): A small portion with rings of large sizes, these were hot, dark golden browned, crunchy, and had a tendency to crumble when bitten into while the onion ring (not sweet Maui) pulled out at times. They were lightly oily while the aioli helped to give them more flavor. Mango Habanero Hot Wings & Veggie Sticks w/Bleu Cheese Dipping Sauce 6pc ($8.25): Somewhat small drummetes and wingettes, there was just enough tender meat on the bones while the mango habanero sauce was surprisingly hot and sweet, I also used the very tame bleu cheese sauce although it wasn't needed. The veggie stickers were small, fresh, and helped to cleanse the palate. At about $1.38/piece, it was a relatively good deal and tasty for what you got. SERVICE You had the option to order at a kiosk or with a friendly young man at the order window (I chose the latter). He easily and quickly took my order, gave me my beer while I waited, and less than ten minutes later, everything was packed up and ready to go - easy-peasy! PARKING (Varied: FREE this instance): I found a spot in their tiny lot (less than five spots). Otherwise, there seemed to be plenty of spots along the main drag of Eagle Rock Blvd. (be sure to read all posted signs) - 'nuff said. ATMOSPHERE, DÉCOR, AMBIENCE Basically a takeout business with a handful of communal metal tables, chairs, and some barstools in an outdoor covered patio with a lone order window. This was very barebones, rustic, and practical. There was plenty of natural lighting while some electric lights filled in the rest with some possible help from the nearby street lights. There was one TV but no background music. ATTIRE Totally casual, so I would normally be in a t-shirt, boardshorts, and flip-flops. OVERALL I was very glad to see that The Bucket had returned (when, I had no idea), and I planned to reacquaint myself with their entire menu. Speaking of the menu, it now had a Mexican portion (burritos, tacos, tortas) that I didn't recall from previous times; furthermore, their burger selection has been scaled back with none of the earlier-mentioned burgers that led you closer to a hospital visit. Regardless, the food was very good, affordable, no frills, and the service was straightforward. Plus, I always preferred to give my business to local small mom & pop businesses. I found complete value based on the prices, service, and experience noted above (TOTAL paid experience was around $34.00 BEFORE any discounts, points usage, and/or tip). And, they accepted my credit card of choice... AMEX! 5.0 STARS

You order at a kiosk right in front, and you pay and grab your own drinks from the fridge next to you after paying. They receive the order and make your pizza. They do make shakes and coffee, so if you order that, then they do come out to the coffee bar area and make it for you. The place is huge and spacious and fun for kids. There's plenty of seating inside and outside in the front and the back. The back also holds the play area for kids. Plenty of stuff for them to play with; however, I do feel like there is a lot of space that is not being used or filled with other great stuff. For example, they have an area where they can make alcoholic drinks, but they don't. There's also plenty of more space in the play area to add more stuff. They barely had any inflatables when we went, and I've seen videos and pictures of them having a lot and bigger ones, but on this day they only had two very little ones. My kids still had a blast! The pizza is great! It tasted good. We got a cheese pizza for the kids, and it was pretty big. They did not finish it; we had plenty left over between their cheese and our pepperoni. They have no parking here, but it is okay because there is plenty of outside street parking. My kids loved the pizza and the fun they had here, so we will most likely return multiple times from now on.

I do not know exactly what they season these with, maybe a little MSG, maybe a little sugar, but there is barely any sauce needed. People add hot sauce if they want, but on their own these wings are crispy and they always hit. I know this place sometimes gets a B grade, but that has never stopped us. This has been our go to for family parties for years. We order the trays in large, medium, or small and they are very affordable. They fill these trays to the brim and then some. Even a simple to go order in one of those little white boxes gets packed so full they have to put it in a plastic bag just to keep the chicken from falling out. This is a real go to spot for a lot of Filipino families, myself included, when it comes to party food. I have also brought it to non Filipino events and it is always a hit no matter who is eating it. Whatever the seasoning secret is, keep doing what you are doing. We will keep coming back.
