    Gotta hit the spot anytime in Cali
    Adam R.

    3/15/24 Tommy's has always been a go to spot for me in Cali . Any location . Met family and got some good chili burgers and fries and was delicious as always . Great friendly service and all of our food ordered was all correct . This location has covered outdoor seating only but was a nice day out we didn't sit out We took to go . Enjoy !!!!

    My brother took his last breathe in the lower level parking of this property late Saturday night.

    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."

    High prices!

    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.

    This place does not need a review. Tommys is tommys!! They have hands down the best chili and burgers in town. This is such a original and staple to our community. Ive been eating here since i was a little girl and nothing had changed. The seats are outdoor seating and its really nice and refreshing. Employees have been there for a very long time so they always remember you. Definitely check this place out.

    It's a Tommy's day.

    The double chili cheeseburger is a must-have classic! Their fries are also awesome, especially when ordered extra crispy.

    Bomb food. Late night cravings satisfied!!! I usually order twice a week, if not at least once a week and they never disappoint.

The portion was absolutely massive and definitely worth it if you're sharing. The chopped chicken was super soft, flavorful, and went really well with the mashed potatoes and sauce. Everything together was rich, comforting, and honestly way better than I expected. My only complaint was the bacon bits because it was just a little too much and kind of threw the flavor balance off slightly. Next time I'd definitely leave those out. The atmosphere is really relaxed, and every time I've gone it hasn't been overly packed or busy, which I appreciate. Service wasn't necessarily super fast, but it was reasonable considering everything tasted fresh. Also a bonus: plenty of parking since it's located in a large plaza.

Not only are we, as customers, paying for the food, but we are also paying with our time to try to figure out systems we're not familiar with and aren't very intuitive. It took so long to place an order for Dear Hubby, Sweet Granddaughter, and me that it was annoying. The only one who enjoyed the process was the 6 year old. Yes, the future will be hers and her generation's before very long! Even with the computerized system, the order was incorrect. We got the wrong dipping sauce, and didn't receive our drink cups. We weren't charged for SG to switch from milk to a milkshake. Didn't realize that until later when I was taking a look at the receipt. I would say that JITB is losing out with the computerized system. This is not customer service - it's customer torture! As for "ambiance", this location is sorely in need of a makeover. Fully half of the barstools in the main dining room area have their wooden veneer either partially or extensively peeling off from what's left of the seat. Not attractive, and could snag their patrons' clothing. All this "charm" because SG wanted either McDonald's or Jack In The Box, and we missed the one in La Canada Flintridge on Foothill. It was a long drive westward before we found this next option. I don't think we'll be repeating a visit to this location.
