It’s Tommy’s for goodness sake.
Always good and always the same quality regardless of location.
Patio was a great spot for dogs. Clean restrooms too.

I haven’t had a Tommy Burger in 15 years… Went to L. A. from Northern California for a business trip, and made a point of hitting Tommy’s in Fountain Valley. Got a #1 with everything, and it was exactly as I remembered. Fresh hot fries, killer burger… Service was excellent and fast. You should open up a store near Fairfield/Vacaville/Davis in NorCal..
Thanks for a great experience!

I love this original Tommy’s. The usually have special during the week that are very inexpensive. I have had the double Chile cheese burger. I have had the Chile cheese hot dog and the regular hamburger. All were excellent. I recommend grabbing a lot of paper towels as the Chile can get very messy.

I’ve always been a fan of Tommy’s the chili is one of the better Chili’s you can get in fast food my problem is how high the combo prices are I mean a number one is $16 you can go to a sit-down restaurant for cheaper and this location doesn’t have the greatest parking as well

Best chili burger in the world.
Never disappointed when eating here.
Always order the fries with chili and cheese and eat with a fork.
The chili is what sets this place apart from any other “chili burger”.
Excellent customer service: fast and friendly.

Tommy’s is hands down one of my favorite fast food places to frequent when I’m in Cali! Not too frequently though because their food is definitely heavy and will make you gain weight just from staring at it.
But there’s something about their chili that’s just different than other places. I’ve been going to Tommy’s locations throughout Southern California since I was a kid and my order is always the same. Chili cheeseburger with chili, cheese and onions only. Then chili cheese fries on the side with added onions. I highly recommend if onions are your thing, but obviously omit them if you don’t want to have strong onion breath for the next 24-48 hours.
Service has always been good at this specific location. The drive thru can have a little bit of a wait depending on the day and time that you go but it’s honestly worth it to me. Nothing can really compare to Tommys chili cheeseburger and chili cheese fries! It just hits the spot every time.
I’ll post pics with my review but be warned the fries I order is literally SMOTHERED in onions. It’s on the cheese burger too but you can’t see it as much.
Highly recommend trying Tommys at least once in your life! You never know, it may be the best thing you’ve ever had. I know I’ve been a fan ever since I was a kid, and I still am! Five stars for delicious chili! Tommys never disappoints.

Back in the 90s this was a really nice location with a pretty miniature golf course across the street. Not today, barely any air conditioning and only one customer me. Meat paddy was greasy slightly over done and bun was too wet making it kinda soggy
Update: came back again, place is like a ghost town and too many employees babbling to each other in Spanish – Chile dog meat was old bun was soggy
Had to do a milk hack since Tommy’s doesn’t sell it anymore – Walk next door and get some half and half with a free cup of water @ Starbucks and make your own
Barstow location same deal

Tommy’s is one of those rare places that just is SoCal. No pretense, no frills — just burgers, fries and world famous chili. I’ve been coming here for years, and it’s never let me down.
Back in the day, after every USC band gig, we’d stop by the Tommy’s on Rampart. That was the bands “pay” a chili burger, chili fries, and the best post-show hangout in town.
Even now, decades later, Tommy’s still hits the same. The chili is legendary, the burgers are messy in the best possible way, and the staff keep things moving fast with that classic LA energy.
If you want to taste real, old-school SoCal — not the trendy version, but the authentic one — Tommy’s is it. Always has been, always will be.
Fight On!
