    The whole crew is this guy at Tommy's in Pico Rivera. Was working his Butt off.

    My son & i was at this Tommy. And we Noticed their was only 1 person working everything. This guy Juan was taking drive thru order, inside counter order and making all the food. Service was a bit slow but Much Props to this guy. Food was great like always. Keep up the great work & hustle Juan. I asked for his name and he didn't notice i took him a picture.

    Asked for Chili Dog with onions. Said it twice!!!  This is what I received. :(

    Had the strangest encounter at this location. Speaker box: I would like a chili dog with onions. Window: "Just onions "? Me: " Chili Dog with onions ". Get home: received plane hot dog with just onions. What is also interesting, as I was driving off, line cook comes flying out the back door. Window girl had given me the wrong order. Looking back, I would have been better off with the wrong order.

    Chili Cheese Fries and chili burger
    Ana C.

    Saw this IG special I always was looking into getting the chili fries and I am glad I got them and the burger is awesome. This will be one of my top best food I got for chili. My friends always told me to come to this restaurant and I finally went and I didn't disappoint at all. I really loved it. Will I came again yes and I will also get a cup of chili's to go to eat next time.

    Drye.  Worse chilli I ever had

    Chilli was drye, fries were dried. Was not good at all. Combo to was dried. Not sure what happen.

    Tommy's is a chain in California, especially in Southern California. I don't know if they have also opened out of State yet, but I don't think so. If you are in Southern California and like unhealthy, greasy, amazingly great chili burgers, chili dogs and everything chili it is a must stop. This one is in Pico Rivera. Not all Tommy's are perfect. This one is. We did the drive thru this time, we usually eat there. The line was long, but moved super fast. When we got to the pick up window are food was ready and it was as ordered. The service is really nice and they are fast. Always ask if they have a special going, they often do, but they are not posted at the store, they are on social media. The outside is spotless and they maintain it all so well. It is super cute. The food is great. Now, this is not some expensive chili burger you will get at a mid range eatery, this is the real thing. The chili is great and yes it has grease, just enough to make you love it. The burgers are not huge, you can order a double or triple if you want that. They come with cheese, tomato, lettuce and onion. You can get it without the chili if you want. They are all great. The chili fries are so good. Sometimes we just get the fries because we have chili on everything else, but it is so good and you get a lot. It comes with cheese on it, we order it without it. All their other items from their breakfast burritos, to shacks and drinks are excellent. their shakes are huge, we order a small one. And try their chili dog. YUM If you want health food, go elsewhere. If you want great food and don't care about your diet for a day go to Tommy's.

    Chili fries
    Monica R.

    Big fan of Tommy's. But this location needs some work. The lines take forever to move along. By the time you get your food it's all cold. The fries weren't even cooked all the way and hardly got enough chilli. My burrito was poorly wrapped and has become so small compared to what Tommy's use to serve.

    Chilli cheeseburger. Served cold, as you can see by the cheese, which isn't even melted.
    Ell R.

    2.5 stars. Haven't had Tommy's in decades. I was feeling nostalgic and decided to treat myself. 1) drive through took what seemed like an excessively long time for a chilli cheeseburger and fries with only 1 car ahead of me. 2) the food was cold. Cheese wasn't even melted. Wtf. The Tommy's flavor was there, but the food was cold af. 3) ok,there's inflation and things cost more. I get it. But if I'm going to pay $11+ for a cheeseburger and fries, they better be well made, or at the very least served hot. The fries were like $4.50 and a small portion for that price. So, 2.5 stars because it still tastes like Tommy's, but 0 stars due to the cold food, high prices and small portion of fries.

    Great service and food.  Like the original
    Leslie E.

    I bought a double Tommy chili cheeseburger. It's always good. This location is just a little skimpy on the chili. I asked for extra but they really didn't put any. I asked for double tomatoes and they did that but I love Tommy burgers so this place was good enough.

    combo meal #3 with chili burger and french fries and drink
    Tim K.

    OK fine. I broke one of the golden rules when being out of town and searching for "local cuisine". I had my first Tommy's world famous chili burgers. I told my colleague I wanted something I couldn't get back home and when we drove by one of these locations, we did just that... gave it a try. So the chili burger is a burger with chili, pickles, onions, and tomato's on your basic fast food restaurant bun. As of yet my stomach has not revolting. The burger wasn't quite what I expected. The pickles were piled high, overwhelmed every other flavor on the sandwich. The sandwich was cooked just fine. The portion size was good. But to me it just wasn't that tasty. They do offer quite a few options on this basic burger, but something like the thought of cheese or doubling the burger and chili just didn't seem appealing. With the combo meal, we ordered it came with french fries and a choice of medium size drink. The french fries I must say were excellent. Not much else to say, but when in Rome...

    Wow! Just by chance found this place! Plenty of parking…read more We went on a Sunday mid morning. There was a smell of old cleaning towels and the table we sat at was quite dirty.... However.... Placed our order at the counter and 5 minutes later, table was wiped down, the cleaning smell was gone, and things seemed overall cleaner. I think we got there right after a busy morning. Then the food came out and was brought to our table and the waitress talked for a little bit! At this family owned fast food/ drive through/ pick up place... and there was table service ?!!! Wow!!! I gotta say that the food was pretty decent. I got the steak and eggs bfast with hash browns. I was happy about that! But the 4th star that this place got was because of the wonderful waitress that was so kind and helpful! She was also quite attentive and stopped by a few times to see how we were doing! For services at a fast food place, that also has a drive through window, that was amazing!! Thank you young waitress!!! The food was good, but the service that we got.... if I am anywhere near this place againI'll stop by!! Thank you!

    I give this place 5 stars with the assumption that people realize it's a 5 star mom and pop burger…read morespot. The food is all Sysco/Restaurant Depot frozen stuff, but, despite that, my family and I really enjoy it. The chili cheese fries and onion rings are a hit in our house and the burgers and chicken strips satisfy the kids. Service at the drive through is usually pretty good. I cut them a slack when they sound annoyed/low energy because I know the work is tough. I've only ever been through the drive through, so I've never sat inside. When you're hungry and don't feel like making dinner, this place hits the spot.

    Well well well!! Now I love me some In and Out but I was burnt out. So needless to say, when my…read moresister wanted a burger one afternoon, I was like gahhhhhh give me a salad but here we were. At this new joint- and boy was I glad and full after I enjoyed a classic American burger. My sister had the Argentine burger and my brother had the Irish burger. Deeeelicious. Absolutely amazing. Fries were homestyle, crispy and fresh. I was absolutely floored with the Mac and cheese in my southern burger. I could have used a bit more bbq but hey, still a 10. Need a good burger? Have at it!

    this is without a doubt the weirdest burger place I have ever stumbled on. What it's trying to do…read moreis to offer burger selections "inspired" by other countries. so the korean burger has kimchi on it and so on. There are about 10 different ones from different countries. It's very gimmicky for starters. The other problem is none of them are all that appealing. So I opted for thier basic double cheeseburger. I was pleasantly surprised that this is indeed a very nice burger. Fresh and meaty with a nice spread on a nice bun with actual cheddar cheese. Zero issues with this burger whatsoever. Very tasty. Would I come back here again? highly unlikely and I'll explain. First the location is in a really odd place in a building in a strip mall and you have to walk behind another business to get to it. Second, this is in a location where there is a Chili's right next door and plenty of other burger places not far away. No way I'm walking around a building just to eat an ok burger when other locations are much more convenient. Third, some of these country options are kind of weird with really weird toppings. I could see this place getting more business if it was inside of a mall food court or an airport lounge. Probably best to make this into a food truck instead of a stand alone place in Whittier.
