    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.

It's either Riverside or Los Angeles. The Los Angeles location is nice because it has standard restaurant seating and the vibe is full on Monty's! It's so cool! I hope they grow and open more locations. My husband and I just drove an hour to get to the Riverside location. We're only able to come once a month because it's so far away. We would hit it once a month if it were closer, maybe more than once a month. Service is always great at this location. They have stickers and buttons available. The seating is bar stools at a counter inside the food lab. The food is amazing! It's always perfectly made and it hits the spot when we miss the Monty's plant-based chicken. The burgers are good. Love the fries and tots! Definitely do the "maxed out" tots or fries. Those are the best! I love the kale salad and add chicken on top. My husband loves the chicken burgers. We always bring friends here to try Monty's plant-based grub! This place rocks.

I absolutely love their mascot though and they have free stickers that look like him. All food is vegetarian friendly! 100% plant-based.

These aren't just burgers, they're the best rated LA burgers now brought to Riverside, and the hype is 100% real and deserved.

You're not just eating something delicious, you're eating something you can feel genuinely good about. And the flavor? Every single item on the menu is addictive. I have yet to find a miss. The side sauces alone are absolutely elite!!!! The kind you think about days later and use as your excuse to come back sooner than you planned. Knowing that this place started from humble beginnings , literally setting up tents and grew into the brick and mortar gem it is today in Riverside makes every bite taste even better. You can feel the passion, the pride, and the hard work baked into everything they do. The staff moves at the speed of light, endlessly accommodating and genuinely friendly every single time. I've dined in and DoorDashed multiple times and it's always amazing, that consistency is rare and speaks volumes. Urban Skillet deserves every single star and more. A true Riverside treasure.

The restaurant has a casual, trendy brunch vibe and the menu is full of creative options that sounded really good. We tried the Brisket S'Mac Wrap, the Eggcelent Morning, and the truffle fries. The brisket wrap was flavorful and filling, with a nice balance of savory and cheesy. The Eggcelent Morning was solid comfort food and definitely satisfied a brunch craving. The truffle fries were crispy, well-seasoned, and a great shareable side. Service was the one downside. It was not very attentive, and we waited longer than expected for check-ins and refills. It was not terrible, but noticeable enough to impact the experience. Not to mention, it was not very busy at all around the time weren't, which was on a Wednesday around noon. Overall, the food was good and I would come back, especially when in the mood for brunch. With a little improvement in service, this could easily be a great go-to spot

Situated in a seedy corner lot on Magnolia and Harrison, don't let the semi-dilapidated surroundings fool you; this place is no joke. Try not to let your guard down while you are eating truly the best burger you can get in Riverside. The price is fair, but can add up quick as refills are not self serve or free and additional sauces (beyond ketchup and similar condiments) are not complimentary. Ranch is just shy of a dollar at .90¢. As much as I loathe paying extra for sauces, the amount of fries they give you seems to justify the upcharge, but, in my opinion, they should charge for EXTRA sauces and maybe include one with a combo. Seems nitpicky but those who need ranch with their fries can sympathize. Their breakfast special is fine, and you very much get what you pay for price and food wise. Again, start adding sides and the price becomes reminiscent of non-fast food sit down diner prices and, to me, that is not justifiable here. As far as other things on the menu, I cannot vouch for the wildly popular breakfast burritos but they were being ordered nonstop while I was visiting. I have tried the pastrami but it was very salty; but that's the nature of the game. With a menu like this, you are bound to hit a roadblock at some point. Just come back and try again. All that being said, this place really is quality and gives a quantity that you don't really see very often. My personal suggestion would be to get a chocolate milkshake with the burger combo, that's what really makes this place a 5/5. You won't regret it. Those in the know, know about George's. Try to be in the know.

Just don't go when the "owner" (old white guy with glasses) is cooking because apparently since he is incapable of folding a breakfast burrito with eggs overeasy he won't do it. A ten year old can do it but it's too messy for the owner and he refuses. Any other day it's never been a problem for the other real cooks. Imagine being a restaurant owner that serves half Mexican food and American and you can't fold a burrito because the eggs are overeasy? If you are incapable, stay out the kitchen and stick to running the back end. The cooks probably despise when he shows up to "help" as he slows everybody down with the pace of a turtle. But he's the owner and it's his restaurant so screw the customer, no exceptions. It was a simple request but I guess he doesn't need the business and he won't lose any sleep over it.
