I went here years ago when there was another deal going on. Today is the 80th anniversary so burgers are $0.80. 5:49 pm is when I got there. The wait was an hour and 27 min. The ambiance was alright. There are at least 4 tables at Tommy's. I like that there's a wheelchair ramp. It's open air so there was a breeze. Artificial lights are on. About 30 people were ahead of me. The line snaked around the parking lot. It seems worth it to a ton of people. I placed my order at 7:16 pm. I ordered the chili cheese burger. I was confused when the employee said it was the special and I said just the burger so it was my fault for being confused. Others ordered combos. The employee was patient with me and respectful. The limit is 3 burgers per person. No wonder the line is long, it snaked around the parking lot. Over 400 people were served so far. I got my order at 7:22 pm. The employee asked me for my number so I could be a rewards member. Then I gave it. When my order was ready, the employee asked if I wanted ketchup or yellow peppers. I answered with ketchup but I should've said neither. The ketchup packets were opened without me opening them. I was a cashier years ago. Sometimes ketchup would leak out of packets if it was too hot. Or maybe if they were packed tightly in the box. So now my bag might be stained because I put the burger inside it. It's a quality control or supplier issue but it still disappointed me. The burger was savory and filling. I got everything on it. read more

Don't judge the burger by the photo! It actually is a great burger! When I lived in Los Angeles this was a common stop for me. A lot of memories with friends and families, as well as for my solo self. Tommy's is an old institutional burger joint of Los Angeles. LA is the only place where you can find Tommy's. The burgers or hot dogs are slathered in their classic original chili sauce. The service is friendly and quick. The menu is simple. The ambience is way casual and basic. It's mostly eating outside under a roof, or getting it to go. Whenever I'm in Los Angeles I always make a stop for Tommy's! read more

I'm writing this with a heavy heart. My brother took his last breath on the lower level parking of this Tommy's property late Saturday night. May I add that this parking had zero cars yesterday and only one car today that belonged to the employee Chris. It was a small memorial with a cross and flowers flickering candles a way to honor him and be closer to him When we returned this afternoon everything had been removed. I asked the manager, Katherine, what happened. She called corporate but refused to give me a name or contact. When I pressed her about where the memorial went, she said, "My guess? They threw it in a bag and tossed it in the dumpster," with a completely cold and emotionless expression. Not even a "sorry for your loss." No compassion. No care. Just dry and ice cold it's policy and indifference. That wasn't just a cross. It was love, grief, the only place we could go to feel close to him as we wait and plan his funeral. And they treated it like trash. Shame on Tommy's and Katherine for showing zero empathy to a grieving family. Businesses like this need to remember we are human beings. Not everything is just "policy." read more

I use a walker to get around. I went to Tommy's in Tujunga today for lunch. The store has a blue handicap sticker on the window by the register. I called the store from the handicap parking space in the parking lot to order a combo. I asked them to bring it out to me. I had cash for the order and a tip for the server. I can't use the walker and carry a food tray at the same time. The store manager answered the phone and refused to deliver it to me. She said she had no protocol for doing so, whatever that means. I asked again, very nicely but she absolutely refused. I asked her what the handicap sticker on their window meant. She said, not that". What a bitch! I won't be back. read more

This place is so, so, so good. When I want a chili dog or burger, this is the place to go. Unfortunately, their prices really aren't what they used to be. The again, isn't that the case everywhere? If they weren't so pricey, Tommy's would get a perfect 5 from me. There just isn't any replacement for a chili-slathered Tommy's burger, dog, or tamale. read more

Wow! I haven't been here in a while, maybe 8 months and their prices are crazy! $13.50 for a regular chili burger, fries and drink. read more

I'm still trying to process the disappointment that was the Chili Cheese Fries I ordered from Tommy's in Tujunga. The fries themselves were lukewarm and soggy, clearly having sat out for too long. The chili was bland and lacked any real depth of flavor, and the cheese... well, let's just say it was more like a sad, congealed oil slick than a creamy, melted delight. For a dish that's supposed to be a comforting, indulgent treat, these Chili Cheese Fries were a total letdown. 2/10, and that's being generous. The guy that was working at the cash register opened the window as I approached to order and he goes "What do you want?" in a very rude and condescending tone. He needs to be retrained because that type of behavior is completely unacceptable. The worst Tommy's in the Valley. Avoid at all costs read more

There are times when you can't just drive by - you have to stop and enjoy the amazing classic Tommy's chili burger!! I love the service - they'll make it just the way you like it, whatever your preferences! And the clean, fully shaded, open air patio with plenty of tables makes for a pleasant spot to savor your meal. read more

Very rude had a big order and instead of getting a heads up he let us stand for 10 minutes before letting us know he had a big order and couldn't help us. read more

Been here for years. Wrote some reviews that weren't as flattering but as of late the people they have hired are excellent. Seems as I've their service is a priority and it's like the old days. Tommy's chili is always good. Parking sucks but it's worth the trade for good only Tommy's. Plus check their Fakebook page as they have specials with great savings once a week read more

Not as good as I remembered. Pretty mediocre really. I loved Tommy's growing up as a kid in LA, but nothing stays the same.

Bomb bomb bomb. Only ever get the chili cheese dog and plain fries with pink lemonade and I have never been disappointed and the drive through is always quick and cashiers are always friendly. read more

Door Dashed Tommy's for 3rd time. Every time it shows up with light amount of Chili No way to fix it. I will no longer order from this store Hugely disappointing read more

Service was shit and the workers are clearly trying to get through the shift don't care about the service. Tried to be clear but apparently to the worker I was not loud enough and he goty order completely wrong. read more

Paid for a burger, waited 15 min, nothing. The people who placed an order before I did, same thing.

This Tommy's has the worst customer service tbh Very hostile That guy named Martin is super rude and condescending I hope he rethinks his career path and finds light The ambience is very hostile I think he's a lead at this Tommy's Supper rude made me uncomfortable to eat my food . read more

Tommy's is a guilty pleasure, not something you want to indulge in too often but it hits the spot every so often. Long gone are my late night binges at Tommy's on Beverly/Rampart after late night partying. It is definitely a morning after go to for us after a bit too much consumption the night before and always hits the spot. read more

I feel like Tommy's is going down hill, they've been getting the orders wrong and barely putting chili on their chili burgers in top of that they are pre-packaging their chilies which dries them out, I use to eat here all the time but it's not the same anymore read more

I'm guaranteed a pimple every time I have a Tommy burger. So, I only go to Tommy's whenever I get that itch every 4 years or so. Angelenos have been coming to Tommy's for years. It's the redheaded step child to In N' Out amongst burgers that originated in LA but not as popular. Tommy's chili burgers is nostalgic to LA. If you haven't had a Tommy burger, you're not a true Angeleno. It's one of the places I've taken every relative who's from out of town. Every time they fly in, it's what they crave the most. Chili is house made here and topped on every burger oozing out with ample onions, mustard, pickles and of course I get mine without that steak tomato. Fries are also covered in chili but I get mine on the side for dipping. If you haven't had a burger from here, baptize yourself to becoming a true local. read more

This place now has Hamburgers just like In-and-Out Burgers. They now have the California Classic, with no chili, but with thousand island dressing and lettuce, tomato, onions, pickles and cheese if you want. I myself enjoy getting the Chili cheese burger with everything and my girlfriend enjoys getting the California Classic and we also get an order of Chili Cheese Fries all for only $9.14...........now that is a deal. Drinks are extra. read more

Hey folks, think twice if you purchased gift cards during the past holidays and got the "FREE" burger certificate with your gift card purchase. The FREE burger certificate expires February 1, 2024 however, the employees at this location have been instructed by Martinez NOT TO ACCEPT THE CERTIFICATES BECAUSE THE HOLIDAYS ARE OVER! Is this manager a half-wit? There is clearly a printed expiration date on the professionally printed certificate. We purchased the gift card and now they aren't going to honor their own certificate? We were forced to pay full price for our food, got home and found they forgot our chili on the side and an order of fries. We called and asked for the Corporate telephone number......NOT SURPRISED.....they didn't have it! There obviously is no Captain running that ship. Should you encounter the same issue before your certificate expires, I suggest calling the corporate office to file a complaint. Tommy's Corporate - 626-357-9201. read more

So my friend and I came here the other day for a quick bite to eat. We both ordered hamburgers with fries. I'm not really a big fan of this place because they're really heavy on the chili. My friend really seemed to enjoy it because he loves chili. If you like chili I would definitely recommend this place. The fries were pretty good compared to the burgers though. The seating was also good it had a nice street view while you ate. The parking was quite spacious. Overall this place was not bad. read more

Pretty cool place. Especially for Tujunga area. The employees are really nice and the food is average. If you love chili I recommend Tommy's. They aren't easy on chili which is a bonus I'd guess. My friend really lived the fries as well. Given its location I'd say it's very clean as well and the atmosphere is average as well. The seating is outdoors though so be mindful. read more

Time for an update. I went through a period of not eating meat products lasting a few years, but that time is behind me now and I am continuing my mission of finding the best burgers in the Los Angeles area. Today I went back to Tommy's in Tujunga for the first time in a few years. This place is closest to home, so today I stopped in for lunch. As is my habit, I eat lunch early so when I hit Tommy's at 1015 today I was the only customer, and the food came out quickly. I ordered the #1 combo, which is double chili cheeseburger with a medium drink and fries. All was perfect: The site was clean in spite of being at a busy traffic location on Foothill in the windy part of Tujunga. The lady order taker (no name tag) was friendly and helpful and also attempted to up-sell me on a couple of items. Good sales training! Burger patties were cooked just right, and Tommy's puts just the right balance of pickles and onions in the burgers along with the cheese and chili. The french fries are even more outstanding-completely peeled and bereft of all skin and sliced medium-sized. Perfect cooking today as well. Side note-many other burger places should replicate the french fries the way Tommy's does it. Recently I have run into a streak of places which have served outstanding burgers but which offer terrible fries because they are too damn cheap to peel the potatoes of all of the potato skin. Tommy's does it right! Will I go back, yes, but not too soon, since I need to watch my weight! read more

good burgers quick service, no inside seating but they are open till 1 am. its a good switch from in n out if your craving a quick burger. Its nothing special but the chili is world renound or else they wouldn't still be in business. nothing to hate about this place the service was quick and they're not busy read more

I just moved to Tujunga and I was very happy to see a Tommy's. I have been here a few times and the food is always delicious! They are always very nice and courteous. Sometimes it takes a bit to get your food but it's always fresh so no complaints out of me read more

I miss this Tommy's. It's located in a dicey part of town but after living in the IE during college, I've come to realize that it's not all that ghetto after all. I like this Tommy's better than the LA location because it's never crowded and when I lived in LCr, it was one of the few places that were open late. I can FEEL their thick chili clogging my arteries when I eat there. That coupled with a buttload of their fluorescent yellow chili peppers does not make for a pleasant BM the next morning, but it's never kept me back. read more

What can I say? This is my favorite place to go for a chili craving. I don't know what's in it- but it's like human catnip. There are other chili places out there, but for me, this is the best by far. I get the single cheeseburger with extra chili and I practically lick the overflow chili off the yellow paper wrapper. I also like their chili fries with cheese and onions. Over the years, there have been small changes...now they serve breakfast, accept Visa/MC and have a caliente burger that will threaten your nostril hairs. If I ever get married again, I'd be tempted to hire their Shack on Wheels for the reception. And I wouldn't be able to wear white... read more

I've been a huge fan of Tommy's Original, for well over 30 years. My grandmother and some of my other family lived right across the street from the original location in Los Angeles. This location makes the exact recipe for the chili. Usually a franchise location isn't as good as the original, but this one was delicious! The staff here is friendly and welcoming. Trust me, I've been to quite a bit and not all locations have the best staff! I ordered three double cheeseburgers, two french fries, one chili fries, and one tamale with chili only. I requested double chili on all the hamburgers and on the chili fries and the chili tamale. The fries and the tamale definitely had the obvious extra chili. The hamburgers did not have the extra chili, which is disappointing because I paid for the extra! We didn't eat at the restaurant because we were hoping to get on the road quickly. This location is in Tujunga and we live in Carson. It's very disappointing to open your food while you're on the freeway, heading back home, and you discover your burger has less than normal chili! The worst part is I paid for it and didn't get it! That's why I purposely said no other condiments except chili only and extra chili! Otherwise this place is one of the best locations I've ever been to, food and staff included. Because of the lack of chili I paid for, I'm only reviewing this as adequate and NOT 5 stars. read more

Ok , to many homeless people lingering around . I do not feel safe picking my food up or ordering. The employees are cool.

I love this location of Tommy's Burgers it is really good. And they prep the food really quick it is a little pricey but you do get a fully loaded Burger. It sucks that there isn't any inside seating but that's the case with Tommy's if you can't sit outside or take it home then just don't go there LOL. The people that work there are really nice really fast and the food is great. enough said give it a try. I go for the calienta burger and Caliente fries and I make it a double. read more
