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

    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.

    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.

    Chili Cheese Fries and chili burger

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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

    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...

    WOOOOHOOOOO a wonderful experience!…read more Alright firstly is the food great, yes! It's a fast-food drive-in burger joint okay so let's talk about it. When I walked last night 15 minutes before close, no one was trying to rush me out and still asked if I wanted to eat there. This was delightful because usually people are completely poops about it. I wish I knew the young man's name who was the cashier he was so kind, outgoing, and just overall super bubbly and friendly. My had a small baby and I went in first to order and then went outside to trade with my husband so he could use the restroom as we waited for our to-go order. Without me sharing any thoughts with my husband the first thing he said when he got back is how supremely friendly the young man was and how he swears his attitude was contagious because he came out with a smile on his face. The food itself as mentioned was great. We took advantage on the specials for the double cheeseburger and the chicken sandwich. I know people will debate it, but I enjoyed the well seasoned and tasty breaded sandwich much more than In-n-out. The chicken sandwich tasted so high-quaity in comparasion to most fast food sandwiches I've ever had and priced so affordably. The entire resturant and the restroom were impicaly clean, the defintion of "sparkling clean". This location really has it together and the chose the right person to be in the front dealing with their customers. Truly a wonderful experience!

    Well need a lil dinner so our best friend and God mom of my daughter and my wife decided to dine…read moretonight. Well wasn't disappointed with 2 double cheese burgers made to order. Tasty and good as always, but the Chicken club sandwich was a disappointment. 2 pieces of chicken barely fit the bun with bacon. My wife doesn't squavel like I do. My first job was in food. But she said it was still good. If it's going to be the strips used for the Chicken club make them a bit larger at least sticking out the sandwich. Otherwise.... Place is clean and busy as always and counter staff as friendly and helpful as always Thank you for dinner

    World Burger is such a hidden gem. If you're into burgers with bold flavors, this spot really…read morestands out by using seasonings inspired from all around the world, and it works so well. The Guadalajara burger is a favorite--packed with flavor and perfectly seasoned with chipotle sauce. The Nashville burger brings just the right amount of flavor with onion rings and BBQ sauce without overpowering the meat, and the California burger is fresh, balanced, and super satisfying. Each one feels distinct, not just a basic burger with a different name slapped on it. Don't skip the fries either--they're tossed with the same global seasonings, which makes them way more interesting than your standard side. Overall, World Burger is absolutely worth checking out. Great flavors, creative twists, and one of those places you're surprised more people aren't talking about yet. Highly recommend.

When I first came in I asked to use the restroom because I was with my 7yr old and she was about to pee her pants. The guy just looked at me and was going to say no but then he processed what I had asked and he said yeah but gave me a look. I told him I was going to order but my kid needed the restroom first and he then told me where the bathroom was. When we came out I went to the register and the guy came up and just stood there. I then told him it was my first time and looked at the menu. I then asked him if there was a favorite burger and he quickly said "argentine" and just stood there again. He took my order and honestly it seemed like he was checked out or zoning out consistently. The order then took 20 mins to complete and it was To Go. I also was hearing as the lady cooking the food was just slapping the burgers on the counter as she finished them, without any care or decency. When I looked at my order I saw the fries were just in small paper boats covered with another paper boat, not something I expected for $6-7 for fries but I digress. First off, I got 3 burgers and 2 fries plus 2 Brazilian lemonades. While I was paying the screen gave me the option to enter my phone number and register to save points, well I wasn't even done registering when the cashier just processed the order and asked me to pay. I told him I was trying to register my phone and if he could get the option up again and he said no I can't. So he just said I had to pay for it and that he was sorry I couldn't get the points. This was extremely rude and felt rushed. I was the only person there ordering too and I told him it was my first time being there so I didn't appreciate the fact that he did that and didn't offer to fix the issue. Secondly, the lemonade was disgustingly bitter. It was gross and I had to throw both out. It tasted like they had blended overripe limes into the drink and they didn't even bother to see that the limes had gone bad. The burgers themselves were honestly average even with all the different flavors or toppings. I got the Nashville, Guadalajara and the Argentine burgers and they all tasted the same. Nothing special and actually tasted quite flavorless. The only difference was that the Guadalajara bun was soggy due to the juices that leaked to the bottom and it tasted mainly like cilantro. The Nashville burger tasted like bacon and that's it. Nothing special. The Argentine one had some flavor in the arugula/chimchurri sauce but aside from that again, the patty was bland. The Parmesan fries lacked flavor and the bacon/cheese fries were just sad. It felt like the just microwaved velvetta on top. Luckily the guy at the register disrupted my registration process because I will not be coming back. If you want plain burgers you're better off going to BK or McDonalds down the street.
