    I'm bias. I grew up going to Tommy's in LA. I'm obsessed with their chili. Although their prices have risen astronomically, I'm always going to return. In case it wasn't obvious, this isn't a place you go to regularly. It's pretty heavy. So I'd suggest only on occasion. My go to is the chili cheeseburger and regular fries, no drink. Always ask for plenty of napkins. Staff is usually friendly.

    A classic. The chili cheese fries are the go to and staple. Service has always been great here also clean. Just a bit expensive, but worth it. The only chili cheese fries I crave.

    This place brings back so many memories. What else would you want after a night out of partying after 2am during the early 2000's? We used to always hang out at Tommy's back in my hometown and now every time we visit so-cal we gotta get our chili cheese burger fix and bring back some chili to Arizona for later. The food was and is always on point. Quick and clean service as expected. I mean it's like an art the way the burgers are always crafted fresh and the chili is unlike any other. I have yet to find a place like this out in Arizona. So glad to visit each and every time. The perfect blend of mustard with pickles, onions and a tomato is like heaven and again so nostalgic for those who know, know! You gotta get the fully loaded chili boat on the side. I even got a hamburger patty for my pup. much love from this OG! See you guys next time.

    Been coming to Tommy's for over 20 years. I enjoy that their food is consistent: plenty of chili on your order, requests followed, fresh fries etc. I always get a double chili burger with regular fries. I add extra pickles and get chiles on the side. Tommy's always hits the spot!

    ICONIC SoCAL CHILI BURGER FRANCHISE! My parents introduced me to Tommy's when I was a little one and I've loved it since day one! Tommy's has some of the BEST chili burgers in the business. It's a messy delight with classic buns and cheese. I always go full-on with the chili items, I recommend a chili burger and chili fries! You can't go wrong, I'm serious. The patties are a bit smaller these days, but what isn't? Tommy's blows In-n-out "out" of the water, it's a hot take but I will die on this hill. The fries are crispy, the meat is tasty, it's a good time. Service is speedy and you don't have to wait all day for a burger. Riverside's Tommy's is very relaxed and a great place to hang with family and friends. This is the nearest location to me so I try to visit as often as I can! I would say this location is on-par with the LA area franchises. The staff is calm and friendly. Tommy's has a drive-thru, simple menu, and plenty of tables, booths etc. for a quick or "slow-paced" bite. I spotted a soda fountain and a few unique menu items like chili tamales (which are the only item I do NOT recommend).

    Seriously!? How can you mess up once of the simplest orders on your menu Only three ingredients and you miss the most important add-on, which comes an additional price

    Fat portion of chili cheese fries.  So delicious!

    No napkins? Plus the order was wrong even though they repeated it over the speaker and again at the window.

    Of the three locations I've visited to date, it's clear that the menus vary, and this is definitely…read morethe smallest one. That's reflected in the constricted lobby that isn't suitable for dining in, despite a couple tables and chairs that remain unused by the hot line display. Additionally, the limited space effectively cuts the daily selection in half compared with the much restaurant on La Sierra. Sun faded illustrations of menu items on the west-facing wall are still legible, and a few customers in the crowded entryway were ordering made-to-order noodles and entrées. I, however, just wanted a standard two-item combination of orange chicken and jalapeño chicken with fried rice. Once my turn came it went quick and smooth. Fortunately, there are a few outside tables distributed for the customers of this and adjacent restaurants. I found the orange chicken to be crispy and dry. It was towards the end of the night, but still. A bit disappointed and I didn't eat it all. Their take on jalapeño chicken is actually pretty good. Spicy and a good sauce, which the rice soaked up. Summary: The price was fair for the quantity, but I think the limited space and corresponding reduced selection keeps interesting menu choices offered elsewhere to maybe one or two items, of which one display, didn't appeal. Friendly cashier though, but if they have a prime time, it's probably mid afternoon.

The chicken is crispy, the waffle fries are always a classic, and the food tends to be really consistent every time you visit. Their original chicken sandwich with the pickles is simple but still one of the best fast-food chicken sandwiches around. The Riverside location usually runs pretty efficiently even when the line gets long. The staff is friendly and service moves fast, especially through the drive-thru. The place has a clean, casual atmosphere and it's a great stop for a quick lunch or dinner when you want something reliable.

    "Evil Chick-fil-A"…read more The only thing keeping this review from lowering to a 1 star, is how delicious the food was. By the time I pulled in and was ready to order, I ended up sitting idle for about 3 minutes while the two 12 year olds with iPads giggled and played around instead of taking peoples orders. When the infant finally came up to my window, he was laughing and covering his mouth like a popular girl in high school while looking everywhere but my eyes. I told him half my order before he went, "huh?" and had me repeat it. Repeating an order is whatever because you probably just didn't hear me, but I'm borderline touching ears with you man, come on. I finished submitting my order and when I nicely said, "Thank You!" This toddler goes, "Yeah, Uhuh". Who are you bro? I felt so old this whole experience dude it was bad. Now reaching the area to pay, I rolled down my window once more as this little jizzum ROLLS HER EYES AND SCOFFS at me because I dropped my card at my feet on accident. Like god forbid I have butter fingers, you nincompoop. I said thank you for whatever reason after paying 60 dollars for some chicken and chitlins (she didn't even say anything after that) and drive to the second to last stop. I get my food and encounter literally the only normal, kind person in this whole drive thru. The manager actually said, "My Pleasure" with a huge smile and giddy attitude when I thanked him for being the only good dude in a one mile radius. Finally, the sauce lady at the very end of the drive thru looked so mad to see me smiling and immediately wiped it off my face after giving me a stern, "what do you want." I got my barbecue and left while stuffing my face with food that burnt my taste buds off, ambiance was chaotic, absolutely delicious food though.

We got the Cuban and the bread was soft and sooooo delicious, the filling was substantial the cheese was really well melted and the ham was delicious! it was just a really good sandwich! We also ordered the Cappicola I added cotto salami and red onion and it was fabulous, the seasonings and meats were a perfect combo, the bread on this sandwich was more toasty, the potato salad was a great addition.
