What People Are Saying About Original Tommy's World Famous Hamburgers

The Scene – The original Original Tommy's is a far cry from the sanitized, white-tile chain it spawned. The kitchen is a shack, the dining room is a parking lot, and Angelenos couldn't be happier. At any hour of the day or night, expect to find folks from all walks of life wiping their satisfied mugs with paper towels from dispensers located every two feet along the outdoor stand-up counter. – – The Food – When Mom cooks, the extra ingredient is love. When Tommy's cooks, the secret's in the chili. Give in to your inner glutton and enjoy a meaty burger smothered in the…

The best Victory celebration meal ever
by Phroggy at Citysearch
I eat here A LOT.
Put it this way...we go to Tommy's after every USC victory.
There's nothing better than a Tommy's burger after a game, spending time with our fellow Trojan Family. There's usually a pretty long line, but it's so worth it. It's under 5 bucks for a burger, fries, and a drink. Don't bother to get chili fries because you can always dip them in the chili from your burger.
Feeling drunk? Tommy's will help you sober up!
I once came here with a friend who had a stomach ache, and after Tommy's, she felt better! True story
The bottom line is, Tommy's is a Los Angeles staple. Forget pink's, Tommy's has the best chili in LA.
- Pros: Everything
- Cons: None

love it

I have been coming here since I was a teenager. I stop by at least once a month to help "last nite's" hangover or as a pit stop after a long nite out. I get the chiliburger with a huge side of peppers. not the healthiest meal but so satisfying.

I think fasthorse is just on meds. Tommys is the best. It has been for years! I love everything on their menu. Hot dogs, hamburgers, chili-fritos, chili-fires. I cant belive fasthorse gave such a bad review. Obviously her and her husband arent used to eating good quality food if she is used to pouring hormels all over her burgers. Sounds like she should have paid attention in home economics. Tommys is not just a burger joint it is a landmark. Millions of other people have been satisfied and in love with their burgers for years. I would recommend their breakfast sandwich! it is only served until 11am. but it is to die for. IT is only like $2 dollars and you get a delicious heartattack on an english bun prepared by the chatty spanish speaking crew!
- Pros: All the food is delicious.
- Cons: Make sure your heart is healthy!

Know Before You Go:
When you order your Tommy's burger with "everything," that includes chili.
Where to Sit:

Parking:
There's ample parking, but after 10pm there's a 15-minute limit to prevent impromptu parties.
