Food was pretty good, didn't really understand all the hype from everyone saying it was Lompoc's best burger, it was good but not fantastic-out of this world. Pricing was what you would expect, employees were pretty nice and assisted in helping with deciding which burger to enjoy. The atmosphere could have been a little more welcoming and updated, but besides that- would return! :] read more

WAY TOO MUCH SALT AND PERHAPS MSG I had a pretty good burger but had a really significant reaction consistent with way too much salt and/or MSG . Lasted for hours. Sorry because I was hoping to find a local place with great burgers. read more

One of the Best Burgers I have ever had. I was stationed out at Vandenberg AFB back in 2003 and ate here only twice but still compare all others burgers to the masterpiece Tom's had. They have so many burgers it will make your head spin. They are seasoned and cook perfect and no condiments are necessary. Like I said I still compare other burgers to this place. Wish I was back here again to have another. The prices are great compared to what you get in a restaraunt anywhere else. Enjoy it! read more

I have been eating burgers here for years! Their fries and onion rings are great, too! Be sure to ask for your onion rings crispy. They have 26 burgers to choose from, plus more... The grilled onions are killer! read more

Best burgers in Lompoc! Great service every time and you can't beat a Y burger with cheese , raw onions, and added bacon. Although the onion rings with ranch are pretty rad too. One other thing that is super convenient is they take debit/credit cards. read more

Tom's has really good tasting burgers & for a good price. They have an excellent variety of different burgers too. You will leave very satisfied. read more

Best burgers in the area, their burgers are tasty with generous portions, very friendly staff!

A to Z hamburger menu, so there's something for everyone! Good breakfast and sandwiches if your not in the mood for a burger. If you travel to Lompoc Tom's burgers is definitely a good place to visit. Service is always fair, and the fry orders are large. Prices are reasonable for the servings. read more

Huge burger selection and good size burgers. A basket of fries comes with a enough for 4 people. I wish the menu items didn't have such long descriptions. I know its suppose to be cute, but not when I'm starving! Nevertheless, I enjoyed my mushroom burger with pepper jack, hold the onions. I scarfed it down pretty quickly. This place is cash only, and I'm glad the cashier didn't give me crap for giving her a $100 bill. Fast and friendly service, which is what I needed after sitting in a long meeting for work. Om nom nom nom. read more

-1 star right off the bat for not taking card and making my buddy go to the atm at the liquor store. Maybe if this was a tiny, tiny mom and pop store/restaurant then I'd be more forgiving, but it's a busy and popular burger joint. Maybe have a $10 minimum or something... but anyway... The popular A-Z menu... most of the items are legit, some seem like fillers for the alphabet menu lol. Ive had the jalapeno burger (i forget which letter that is... maybe its a J), the banana burger, and a few others. The burgers are prices right and exactly what one would expect for a typical hole in the wall burger place. The burgers dont come with fries and they need to be ordered separately, however they are reasonably priced as well and a basket of them can easily feed 3-4 people. You can do half-baskets and stuff but I've yet to do that. This place is easy to miss if you're not familiar with the area. I've been to Lompoc several times in the past, but when I heard about this place and tried finding it (with help from my phone), it was still a little hard to find. Even when I saw the little strip mall it's located it, it can be missed. I like how they also serve beer. beer and 26 different burgers to choose from?... sounds like a good spot to me! read more

Best burger the taste is amazing ! the size of the burger and fries were enough for two although I ate it all (well almost) and the service great ;) read more

Just revisited Tom's--and I've got to give them 5 stars this time. I'm still not eating beef (and now I am done with pork, too...) but I'm still cramming BBQ wings and turkey bacon into my gob so I took a chance on their 'turkey burger'. It was GREAT!!! Really...the best turkey burger I have ever eaten. I know, I know, it's silly to go to a burger place and then not eat the beef. But I gotta tell you, if you wander into Tom's at a time when you are off beef, and want to try an alternate, get the turkey burger. I had it with avocado, swiss cheese, grilled onions, and tomato. And it was fantastic. read more

Very good. A marvelous place for a good burger lover. They have some pretty unique selections, come here if you feel adventurous.

Tom's Hamburgers is the BEST!! What else can be said? We went last night and again the service was GREAT!! I get to a point when I go to places I like my same waitress as much as possible, in this case Marie she is the best always remembers what I drink I rarely have to ask for a refill on my drink and never have to ask for my check when I'm done eating its always on the table ready to go. The Hamburgers get an A++ always juicy and cooked perfect and we love the sweet potato fries they offer, soups are good as well. Locally owned and operated for as long as I can remember, Yes they only take cash or check but really what's so bad about that? GO PREPARED!!! read more

Best burgers in town.! Make sure to bring cash or check.

Horrible menu , gone 2 times and thier ABC menu don't help me choose the burger I want , pictures would help as we'll

Honestly, I don't know why everyone is obsessed over this place.. these burgers taste average and the prices should be much lower.. Eddie's Grill beats it by far! and cheaper! Once I tasted Eddies Grill I stopped coming here : AND they don't charge for ranch dressing! read more

Good burger. I had the bacon swiss and it was pretty good. However the interior of this location makes me think "yeah, i'll go for takeout next time with this place " ... I don't expect a "fancy" old school burger joint by any means but I believe they are overdue for an interior update with regard to comfort. Feels like you're eating in a high school cafeteria. Sorry. But them's the facts. Our waitress was professional, kind and courteous with my grandparents which was welcomed. However, when my party ordered water I could overhear them in the background complaining to each other that all we had ordered was water. Pretty un-pro. Do that crap on the off time ladies. read more

I would have given five stars but I don't like carrying a lot of cash, just my cards. I wish I have read reviews first and heard about the no card rule lol luckily we had some cash on us. My boyfriend and I ordered the z burger and it was really good. With the amount of meat I expected it to be dry but wasn't, it was well cooked like Iliked and the burger was well more than I could eat, for my boyfriend it was just enough lol. I definitely want to try some more of their burgers! read more

In the mood for a burger in Lompoc? This place Dosnt look like much with its hidden from the street view. But Toms has the best and satisfy any craving from bacon burgers to avocado burgers. Burgers from A to Z and if you finish the whole alphabet you get a T-shirt. Don't forget onion rings or french fries but only a 1/2 order of fries unless you have a lot of people. Sweet potato fries are really good. Ask for the fried zucchini it's off the menu item. The full order is huge! They also have breakfast. Now accept credit cards. Great place to get a burger, best in town burger. read more

This was my first visit to Tom's. Because this restaurant had decent reviews, I decided to give it a try. I had the "B" with avocado. For us first-timers, the menu takes a while to read as you have to take the time to through each of the A-Z descriptions to know what each burger is. Now, as far as burgers go, it was great! It has the home-cooked flavor, definitely better than the fast food chains. I will definitely come back when I'm in the Lompoc area! read more

Love just about all the burgers. They also will customize a burger to your liking with any of the items on the menu. The onion rings are awesome. Service is great! And now they serve this delicious baklava. It's a generous piece for two people and fresh! you can taste the honey, butter and the pistachios. This is the best I've ever had at any Greek or middle eastern restaurant. You gotta a try a piece. read more

My family and I enjoy the beacon cheese burger with fries and onion rings. The restaurant is family friendly and we have always found the service to be great. They offer many different types of burgers and if you like biscuits and gravy, this is the place. Enjoy! read more

Tom's burgers is one of those places that is a classic hang out to the town and to people who have lived here a long time or maybe grew up here. I did grow up here but I only went to Tom's burgers for the first time in the past year. They were a little busy the time that I went there and think seemed a little bit disorganized. To me the prices were a little bit high in relation to what we were being served. I think I could've bought the same thing elsewhere for maybe 10 to 20% less. If anything the prices, and I did not have a hamburger I had breakfast, might be what would deter me from becoming a regular customer. I wouldn't be against going back to try some of the hamburgers that everyone raves about but I can't see myself becoming a regular. The crowd seems to be baby boomers and I just wasn't overly impressed. read more

I dug this place. Fast, good service, great burger (stayed together, not over-charred, tasted great), crispy onion rings, average fries.

Awesome Burger joint, gives you great selection of burgers of quality and great taste also a very friendly staff.

Best burgers in town. Locally owned for decades.

I hVe only had one burger from here and it was the banana one. It was amazing. Never thought it would be good but I was wrong. The fry basket is huge. Bought 2 for my family and I, we barely ate one and there were 4 of us. read more

Went here for a family gathering, and they handled the 20+ group and multiple checks very well. Burger selection is a eclectic albeit a little dated. The only issue was one of the toppings, don't know if it was the tomato or grilled onions, was completely rancid. Ruined the experience. Could have been a one-time thing, I suppose... read more

The burger meat is really thin! It's not the best burger restaurant in Lompoc and their fries are okay! I think the employees are nice. However, their burgers are mediocre. I really appreciate how it's nicely grilled but I prefer my hamburgers with a more gourmet flavor. This is not my go-to place! I recommend it for people to just try. read more

Finding good little places wasn't easy until Yelp! Tom's place in Lompoc, CA is one of those. Great food at a Better price. Now that works for me. Thanks Tom's !! read more

Must go to olace to eat. Graeat wait sraff with freat food. Great food with a good price.

This is the best little burger joint in town, and yes... They do breakfast, with a never ending great cup of coffee and comfy home town atmosphere. One of my top three spots for breakfast! Eggs always fresh and the waffles are fantastic topped with fresh local berries! read more

The food is great and this is a great local restaurant but I just witnessed the manager on duty, Jimmy, behaving in an extremely unprofessional manner and displaying abusive behavior to employees. On Friday, November 30th around 5:40 the employee was screaming obscenities and at another employee in the kitchen, loud enough for the entire restaurant to hear and for people to become alarmed. The behavior was completely unacceptable for restaurant guests but more so for employees. It was a hostile work environment and the owners of the restaurant need to remove that employee, especially considering that he is an a manager role. read more

Staff are very inviting and friendly awesome prices and amazing food. haven't had a burger I haven't liked thus far.

Tom's has a good assortment of burgers, with one for each letter of the alphabet. They have normal burgers and funky ones like peanut butter or sour cream and olives. They also have other non-burger menu items, but their main draw is the burgers. The beef vegetable soup broth can tend to be a little salty. The fries and onion rings are also good. If going for lunch, get there before noon because the place fills up at that time. Warning: Tom's does not accept credit cards, so bring enough cash with you. read more

I ate at Tom's about 9 years ago and to this day I can't find a better burger place. I loved it!!! I wish I still lived in Lompoc so I could eat there again. One things for sure, I will definitely eat there if I ever visit California again! read more

They don't take card- cash or check only. The restaurant has a VERY casual atmosphere. The service is decent if it's not busy. If it's busy... Well, I hope you aren't too hungry because it takes a while for the waiter/waitress to get your order (don't know why...). I would not recommend this for groups bigger than four; the place is really small and doesn't take reservations. The food is pretty good for a mom n' pop place. The burgers are are the smaller side and the fries come unseasoned and unsalted (there's season and salt on your table so that you can put it on to your liking). Is it the best place ever? No, but it's a pretty decent meal, although I won't be coming here again because while their burgers are really inventive and fun to eat, I don't think it's worth the wait for the burger and the cramp space of the restaurant. read more

The service was nice and we got our food pretty quick but I think they are way overpriced. I expected an out-of-this-world burger (I ordered the mushroom burger) for the price and it was just plain to me. Barely any mushrooms on it and it just tasted like a burger I could have made at home. My husband got the taco burger expecting the same thing and he said the same thing: "just tastes like a regular burger". I probably won't go back. read more

Don Willis burger? Hmmm. My grandfather's name was Donald W. Willis and he was from Lompoc, California. He has passed away. I wonder if this burger was named after him? read more
