Was terrible two days earlier with different employees. Today was great Happy 80th Anniversary

Kevin and I have been coming to this Tommy's location for about 10 years, and it has never disappointed. Whenever we're craving a really good burger with chili, this is our go-to spot. The Double Chzburger Combo with chili fries is our favorite the chili is always rich and flavorful, and the meat tastes amazing every single time. We've tried a few other items on the menu, but we always come back to this combo because it's consistently perfect. The location itself is great very clean, well kept, and the staff are always friendly and welcoming. The only thing to note is that if you go through the drive through and order multiple combos, you might wait 15-20 minutes, which makes sense since everything is made fresh to order. We completely understand and don't mind it's a small trade off for quality food. We've also tried their breakfast burritos, which include chili as well, and they're equally delicious flavorful and satisfying. After a decade of visits, this spot is consistently delicious, reliable, and a true favorite of ours. Another simple stop that turns into a small treat every time. read more

Stopped by Tommy's for a classic SoCal comfort-food fix, and it definitely delivered on that "messy in the best way" reputation. Food: I ordered the breakfast burrito with added bacon, the chili cheeseburger, and fries well-done. * Breakfast Burrito: This thing is hefty. It comes loaded with eggs, potatoes, sausage, and then I added bacon to take it to the next level. Tommy's signature chili ties it all together with that smoky, savory hit they're known for. Definitely a heavy, indulgent way to start the day--and honestly, I'd do it again. * Chili Cheeseburger: Classic Tommy's. Messy, bold, and full of nostalgia. The chili is still the star: thick, beefy, and unapologetically saucy. Exactly what you sign up for. * Fries (well-done): These were the only slight letdown. They were close to what I wanted but still could've been crispier. Not bad, just not quite at that perfect crunch level. Service & Atmosphere: Fast, friendly, and exactly what you expect from an old-school LA staple. Clean dining area, quick turnaround, and plenty of outdoor seating. Nothing fancy--just dependable. Overall: Even with the fries missing that extra crisp, this visit hit the spot. Tommy's is still the go-to for chili-covered everything and an iconic LA fast-food experience. I'd definitely come back the next time I'm craving that classic, no-frills comfort meal. read more

Too much chill, the chill is very very thick. And it's overpowers the flavor of everything, fries, hamburger and hotdog. It's ok but I could never go back and he cool. read more

I feel like Tommy's gets a bad reputation. I was very satisfied with my experience here. I went around 3pm, not too many people and they were very quick with my order. The chili cheese burger and fries were very good. It was made fresh, delicious, cheesy and just as good as I remembered it. The place was spotless which was also a plus. I'd say try it out if you're nearby, it's well worth jt. read more

The food was not good. I tried talking with the manager to tell her we ordered 5 items and not one was correct. She did not care and hung up on me during the conversation. Because of her I will never order from Original Tommy's again. Don't waste your time or money. read more

You don't go to Tommy's for just the burgers, you go for the CHILI burgers. Well every time I go to this location (which happens to just be the closest) they are so stingy with their chili. I'm not even lying when I say it was about 3 tablespoons (if that) of chili and that's it. Not happy I paid what I did for this seriously dry burger. read more

My wife is out running so many errands of late, I can pretty much rest assured that I'll be surprised with takeout brought home from somewhere. Today it was our first try of our local Tommy's, a much enjoyed chili burger for us from various locations over the years. But strangely, never here close to home. So with our son home enjoying a few days off from work, she arrived with chili cheese burgers and fries for the two of us, while only choosing a non-cheese chili burger for herself; no order of fries for herself necessary, just eating from my order is usually sufficient for her. I guess the last time I tried any location, my son and I several years back, was so disappointing I'd sort of steered clear of this spot. But after today all is not lost with Tommy's ( and never was lost with the always enjoyable original LA eatery). These guys pretty much put the chili in chili burgers. And today's sampling keeps the "World Famous" in their name with pride. The fries are decent too, but you come here for the burgers. "World Famous" burgers. read more

Nothing like having a Tommy's breakfast sandwich right before a 5 hour drive home! This location is conveniently located right off the fwy in Valencia. Service is always incredibly friendly and every Tommy's location we've been to is super clean albeit we do usually come in during morning hours. Dining Room is open Monday-Sunday 7am-2am and the drive thru is open Sun-Thurs 7am- 2 am/ Fri-Sat 7am-3 am. Open on Christmas Day! read more

What a bummer!! We have been going to this location for years and were always satisfied. Last Thursday, we walked in and ordered a couple of chili burgers with extra chili. My husband looked at the burgers they gave us and went back to the counter and asked if they added extra chili because the chili was sparse. The young man at the counter said, "Yes we did." He lied. Either he was telling the truth and they are no longer giving extra chili as an option (at which point he should've said so), or he lied and was being lazy. Our burgers were dry. If you've eaten here before, you need a spoon to eat the burger with extra chili. Nope, no spoon was needed that night. I don't believe this is the original Tommy's way of serving their food. We might give it one more try on another day. If we ever decide to return, I will give an update of that experience. read more

Fantastic !!!! Flavorful as all Tommy's. I ordered my burgers with extra chili because I heard two people complain about not putting enough chili. Service was good! Clean restaurant for sure. Indoor and outdoor seating. I'm giving 4 stars because it's higher in price here than other Tommy's. I paid $23 for a cheeseburger and a #2 . Too expensive. read more

Original Tommy's - $23 for this! But good - Burgers Near Me - Valencia, California

The food is good when I the mood. The wait til is forever and the people actually making your food look like they are there cause a judge ordered them to get a job. A burger, no cheese combo and a regular hot dog= 25 bucks! Get in my car and go to Jack in the box. Double burger combo with cheese and 2 tacos=14 bucks! Just saved 10 dollars by driving across the parking lot and not waiting but 4 minutes! read more

The lady that took my order was just rude from the beginning. Sounded like she didn't even want to come to work today or take my order. Attitude from the start and even worse when I paid for my food. Drive-through shouldn't have you waiting five minutes for them to acknowledge that you're there waiting to place an order. read more

I've been going to Tommy's since I was a kid. We came here tonight for a chili dog and a chili tamale. The food was good, as usual but the restaurant was not very clean. The floor was dirty and most of the tables had not been cleaned and some of the customers had to clean their own table before sitting down. read more

Really impressed with the quality and consistency across the board. It's clear that the kitchen takes its craft seriously, especially the Hispanic older woman in the morning and the staff adds the extra touch of care. Happy that I chose this place! Going early in the morning is amazing knowing the workers love their jobs also the young Chunky girl with glasses in the cashier was very welcoming 10/10 experience will be returning read more

I ordered the new cliente items which was a cheeseburger and chili fries and they were bomb! Perfect comfort food when you want something a little naughty lol the customer service was great! A really kind and professional crew. The inside has the classic old school burger joint feel which I liked. I will definitely come by again for a meal soon! read more

The chili is amazing But I must say it really stands out with hot dog Chili and fries are a meal by themselves Will rearrange my next trip to include Original Tommy's read more

Besides the consecutive 20 minute waits, not sure if the people taking orders are stoned out of their mind or if they can't hear because of a crappy speaker/mic at the drive thru. "I'll have a number 2 with regular fries and a large Pepsi" "What drink what you like?" "Large Pepsi" "What size?" "Large Pepsi" "Do you want regular or chili fries?" "Regular fries and that'll complete my order" "Will that complete your order?" "Yes" "okay so I have a number 2 with regular fries and uh um uhh iced tea" Food was okay. But I think im done with this location. Had similar order issues last time I was here. read more

The food is always great bit I really want to shout out the great team working here. Jonathan greeted us with a smile and warm welcome. He appears to be the manager and is doing a great job with his team. He and Antonio were great! The other staff were great too, just didn't get their names. Thank you for giving us great, welcoming service. See you soon. read more

I love Tommy's. Grew up with it. Must have had the #2 a million times. That being said this particular Tommy's is no good. Long wait in the drive thru line and the food is just terrible. Find another location. This ain't it read more

Quick and friendly service, nice vibe with music playing. The food is okay the chili they use tasted mushy. It does have a good taste and somewhat spicy. I got the chili dog, I felt the Weiner was a tad over cooked it was tough to bite into. The chili cheese fries are really good but the ratio of fries to chili isn't well proportioned. My friend also got the chili cheese tamale which was surprisingly tasty. However, be warned it's very messy and greasy. read more

Original Tommy's - Double Chili & Cheese fries - Burgers Near Me - Valencia, California

I haven't eaten at a Tommy's in 20 years. A friend of mine was telling me about how great their chili dogs were so I gave them a try. The place was empty and I can see why. The chili dog was really bad, it was cold and so were the fries too. Very poor food and the employees were very unhelpful. This place is exactly opposite of In & Out which is right down the street. I'm not sure how they stay in business. I read more

First time to this place. I ordered and it took 25 minutes to get my order!! I went to the counter to pick it up and it was not what i ordered!! I should my receipt and they said ok we will fix it. Another long wait and the second order was wrong!!! I ordered my meal with NO CHEESE!!! Three times the order came with melted cheese all over my food!!! People in line were complaining about their order was wrong. Six people ordered and Six orders were wrong! Needless to say but I will . I will never come to this unorganized unprofessional place again!!! read more

I grew up enjoying and savoring Tommy's burgers at all hours of the day and night, the service has always been great and the ambiance varies depending on the location but always positive and sometimes festive. I'm particularly fond of their original location (the corner shack on 3rd and Rampart in Los Angeles) and have driven down to LA from the Bay Area to satisfy my chili burger cravings. You have been to LA if you haven't had Tommy's burger! read more

Tommy's makes the best hamburgers in Southern California, and this outlet is no exception. What keeps it from getting five stars is that, unlike every other Tommy's I have ever been to, the service here is very slow.. one of the great things about the original Tommy's at Beverly and Rampart is how incredibly fast they get your order out. The ones in the Valley are not quite as fast but still quite good. This one, you seem to wait forever. It is still worth the wait, however, if you're not in a rush. read more

Original Tommy's is a classic favorite, and I'm absolutely hooked on their Chorizo breakfast burrito. It's the perfect combo when paired with their signature Thousand Island dressing. A must-try! My favorite spot on a Sunday read more

Stopped by with my girlfriend for a quick bite after a day in Santa Clarita. We both ordered the chili cheese burger with chili cheese fries, the chili never disappoints, it's always fresh and with the cheese just makes it even better. Come here at least once a month or maybe 2 if I'm working in the area. Local is always clean, with great service. read more

Walk in couldn't get someone to take our order girl was cleaning a fryer . Probably for the best place didn't look clean at all

Great location right by the I5 in Santa Clarita. The food tasted as good as always but took a long time to prepare. I wish the one in Santa Monica did not close down..... read more

I've eaten at this Tommy's since it opened. I have been a Tommy's customer for more than 30 years. I love that breakfast is now available all day, because my favorite thing here is their sausage and egg breakfast sandwich. I get it with mustard, chili, and cheese only, and it's simply the breakfast of champions! Beyond the breakfast sandwich, their hot dogs and chili burgers are worth trying. Everything comes with chili unless you specify otherwise. My wife is starting to shy away from red meat, and has been getting the "cheese sandwich" , which is their classic chili burger with no meat patty. All the Tommy's goodness without the meat! Thank heavens she likes Tommy's, otherwise, I'd be going there myself. The dining room is kept very clean, but I wish they'd wipe tables and seats a bit more often. With few exceptions, the crew here is friendly, fast, accurate, and efficient. The silliest thing about this review is how long I waited to write a review for Tommy's. Long overdue. read more

Tommy's is an iconic restaurant to me. There's not much to say, other than it's a restaurant that has always been there and always been doing things right. The fries at this location needed some seasoning, and the chili cheese fries needed more cheese, but the burger was spot on, and the chili was thick and rich and delicious. read more

How do you review a place like Tommy's? It's an L.A. institution, the chili cheeseburgers are one of a kind -- delicious, sloppy, great chili which is not too spicy, tomatoes, pickles, more chili..... Every time I go I leave satisfied and ready for a bath. I like the original location on Rampart the best because of the atmosphere, but you don't eat atmosphere and you do eat, or wear, the chili burgers. Yummy. Highly recommended for a fun meal. We prefer to eat in. If you're doing take-out, make sure you've got lots of napkins and good luck. Merritt Weisinger Sparks, NV read more
