Original Tommy's World Famous Hamburgers

"Tommy's isn't going to win any Best Burger awards, but that doesn't stop the crowds from gathering at this classic 24-hour burger window in Historic Filipinotown after a long night out. If it's your first time, get the double chili cheeseburger with a side of fries. If it's your 50th time, get the exact same thing, and then go eat it while sitting on the sidewalk like everyone else. Expect pretty long lines after the bars get out." - brant cox, arden shore, nikko duren, sylvio martins, garrett snyder

"It’s hard to overstate the importance of Tommy’s to the greater LA burger scene. The restaurant’s branding alone has spawned dozens (if not more) replicators with tonally-similar names, while the heavy use of spiced chili — served atop burgers, fries, dogs, and more — is as ever-present as tap water on hundreds of restaurant menus around Southern California. This is the place that helped to start it all." - Rebecca Roland, Eater Staff

"Tommy’s isn’t going to win any Best Burger awards any time soon, but there’s still something magical about stopping at this classic outdoor burger window in Historic Filipinotown after a long night out. If it’s your first time, get the double chili cheeseburger with a side of fries. If it’s your 50th time, get the exact same thing and then go eat it while sitting on the sidewalk like everyone else.
