Customers don't have much to choose from at Tommy's, which is exactly the way they want it. First opened in 1946, Tommy's has captured Angelenos' hearts and cracked their weight scales with a simple, heart-stopping menu of hot dogs, tamales and burgers loaded with a thick coating of Tommy's chili. Some find a taste of heaven in the Tommy's Original, which somehow manages to fit a 100% all-beef patty, a double-thick slice of cheese, slabs of tomato, chopped onions and a couple of pickles between two buns, while others take advantage of Tommy's "made-to-order at no extra charge" policy, opting for a scaled-down patty. The limited menu makes it hard for even the most indecisive to ruminate over choices, and with Tommy's locations open 24 hours a day, it's only a matter of time until you're on the receiving end of a chunky wedge of salty fry or juicy burger.

    The absolute best. I started going there in 1963. At noon we would encounter a very long line but the wait was well worth it. I have only recently moved back to California and one of my day trips out of the desert will be to have a burger at Tommy's. My mouth is watering just thinking about it.

    oh yeah, Tommy's is the stop every now and then, the sauces they use instead of mayonnaise, I believe thousand island, is all in there sloppy, but tastes so fantastic! Way better than In-N-Out, because Tommy's lines are never too long, and Tommy's actually hooks it up with seasoned fries all greasy! Oh my goodness, I am turning into Homer with Donuts! Boy, am I lucky I have a Tommy's near my job! Better quality, better quantity, and way better price!!!!!!!

  • They really are the best in the world

    Tommy's is by far the best chilli cheese burger in the world. Where else can you just order the greatest burger there is and have money left in your pocket. I have never seen the original Tommy's without a customer. You can go in there at 3 AM and still wait in line. I have to hurry this report, I got hungry and have to head down to Rampart.

    I grew up in Pacoima California now living in Meridian Mississippi and when I come home to Pacoima on my way home from the airport Tommy's is always, yes always my first stop. Once I came home to visit and I had Tommy's twice in one day. My mother could not believe it. Needless to say I'm longing for a Tommy's Double Chili Cheeseburger right now with fries a pepsi and of course some California chilis hmp hmp hmp...................

    When I first moved to SoCal 20 years ago, my first week here I had the great fortune of being taken to the original Tommy's. I've eaten at every location at least once since then. The one at Warner and the 405 was my favorite for a long time. Over the years I have lived as far away as 30 miles from the nearest Tommy's, and still ate there at least once a week. My first date with my future wife was...you guessed it, Tommy's. When she ordered the chili-cheese fries, I fell in love. I now have my own Tommy's in Riverside, 2 blocks from the house. I don't think I could ever move away. Recently I wore my Tommy's T-shirt to Vegas and was amazed at the reaction it garnered. Locals were coming up to me complaining their closest Tommy's fix was Bakersfield. By the way, I always get 6 paper towels and eat inside. Tommy's having a drivethru is like a driveup ATM with braille, I don't get it. For those of you who need to take some home, they will sell you a gallon container of chili for a modest fee. I've used it on grilled burgers, steaks and over spaghetti noodles. Gotta go, I'm suddenly jonesing for chili.
