    Chili Tamale with everything
    John T.

    Always consistent taste! Definitely a good spot to get your chili craves when their promotions are advertising on IG.

    Haven't have Tommy for decades and was craving for the world famous chili. Drove by and got to go in since my chili craving is hitting the fan. Plenty of parking and convenience since it located right on corner of Goldenwest & Westminster. Clean & spacious with only outdoor seating - both covered and none. It's a drive-through and walk up. I walked up and with small menu as I remembered back in the 80s-90s. The smells of fries and the chilli just bring me back to my HS memories. Service was nice, friendly and fast. Got chilli fries & chilli double cheese burger, skipped the drink (think I got enough calories & fat for the day). That good old taste, crispy fries with that thick yummy tasty delicious chilli on top...I forgot to ask for onion, but it just as good as I remembered. Same goes for the burger, just abit messy but all good time. Yup, hitted all the spots and I'm just loving it.

    Always great, been eating here my whole life. I always get the california classic cheeseburger and a chili cheese fry with pink lemonade I like putting the chili on myself so it doesnt get soggy.

    Alexandra amd Jackie were amazing!!! This has always been my favorite Tommy's since it was the first time I had their chili cheese fries many years ago. Super frieny and professional. They both mad

    If you live in Cali, you'll learn to like Tommy's. Is it the healthiest meal? Of course not. It's probably over indulge at a level that will give you a food coma. It's a nice burger with great flavors. Fresh vegetables, the pickles, tomatoes, really helps cut the richness of the chili. The bread is soft and pillowy, I did ask for extra toasted bun but the employee I would assume had a language barrier so it was hard to understand her. The burger has a nice beefy taste. The chili cheese fries, I mean oowy, gooey, crispy, crunchy, dark n cheesy flavored, great amazing fries. I had Tommy's in Vegas, just didn't hit the same unless you come to Cali, then you get the real deal chili with great flavors, the chili is beefy, oily, and seasoned well. Gotta ask for extra white onions and the green peppers on the side. Bite into the pepper to squeeze out the pepper juice, another layer of tangy on the fries.

    This place is perfect for chillicheese fries and well if you are in the mood for some good old fashion burgers with chilli! This particular place is small, but the service was excellent. I had their number 1 . If you're in the mood to get your hands dirty this is the place! Enjoy fam!

There's casual seating with shade, which is nice for a laid-back burger stop. We ordered the Double Smashburger with chili on the side, Bacon Cheeseburger, Western Bacon Slider, and tater tots. The beef had a really good texture and didn't have that overly processed or filler-filled feel. The Double Smashburger especially had those crispy edges that make a good smashburger so satisfying. And the chili?! I cannot stop thinking about it. It was so flavorful that I wanted to dip every single tater tot in it. Food came out fast, and the customer service was awesome too. Definitely worth seeking out if you're in the area!

I loved that same attention to detail on the loaded fries too. The perfectly caramelized onions on top added so much flavor and made them feel like more than just your typical loaded fries. Everything tasted fresh, well-seasoned, and thoughtfully put together. It's one of those little hidden gems you could easily pass by without realizing how good the food inside actually is. Definitely a spot that deserves way more attention! Also the owners are SO nice!

The order process was pretty simple -- I responded to their Instagram story and they reached out with follow-up questions, menu options, and pickup details. The pickup was from a home residence in the city of Garden Grove (off of Brookhurst Street and Hazard Avenue), nearby Pho 79 if you're familiar with the area. The exact address is provided with your order! The owner, Aamir, was very friendly and professional when I picked up my food and the burgers were packaged very neatly in separate boxes. I ordered two smash burgers that included three patties each, which cost $15 per burger. They included caramelized onions and jalapenos, which were a delightful surprise. The patties were a little salty, but upon reading the other reviews, I see that the owner pre-marinates the patty meat. The prices were also steep for just the burger, and I thought my order would come with fries on the side, but that doesn't take away from the quality of the food. All in all, I would return for future orders and would love to see them open a brick-and-mortar restaurant someday, ideally in Garden Grove still. 10/10 rating and five stars all around for a seamless ordering experience, delicious food, and timeless customer service.

The owner is super responsive, and you can tell he wants to provide the best service possible. During this special pop-up event, they were serving two's a tango that features their warm brioche bun along with two halal patties smashed with cheese and carmelized onions on top. The burger itself was massive, with one being more than enough to feed a hungry person. After talking to the owner, he mentioned he pre-marinates his meat, so that could be the reason why the taste was a little salty for us. The sauce is awesome and complimentary, so when ordering, if you don't plan on eating the burger right away, to prevent sogginess, ask for extra on the side. I know some people prefer the meatiness, but I am a sauce type of girl. Overall, the flavors of the burger meshed well! Thank you for adding another place for halal goodness. I'm hoping you guys do well and keep quality up.

We ended up getting the Bulgogi burger, a bacon cheeseburger, some onion rings, and a carne asada fry. Ok. The food doesn't photograph well for your instagram, but it's delicious.
