I stop every time I’m in Long Beach!
Place is amazing. Bacon cheeseburger is huge and made perfectly, no grease dripping.
The fries, however, my god. I’ve never tasted fries so crispy, warm, and seasoned perfectly. Not to mention, they don’t skimp 😂 on them.
They also have their own brand soda, which is cool and tastes great. My one thing is, after the diner closes, you can only get it through drive thru. A walk-up window or to-go option would be clutch
Only 4 stars cus manager got mad for me using the restroom before ordering and he charged me everything seperate instead of combo prices, but besides that, food was tasty and my 12 mile round trip walk easily burned the calories of that triple cheese and chili fries and large root beer

Original Tommy's is a well-known burger spot in Los Angeles that offers classic, greasy, and satisfying fast food. The restaurant has an old-school roadside stand vibe, with outdoor seating next to a busy street. Despite the windy conditions, customers enjoy their hearty meals outside, often needing to secure napkins from blowing away. The menu features the famous chili cheeseburger, which is juicy and covered in thick, savory chili, making it a messy but delicious experience that requires extra napkins. The chili has a rich flavor with a little spice and soaks into the bun perfectly. Chili cheese fries are also popular, piled high with chili and melted cheese, ideal for sharing. The restaurant has a long history, serving chili burgers since 1946, and is recognized as an iconic part of LA food culture, especially loved for putting chili on almost everything on the menu. Visitors often comment on the tasty food and quick service, with some noting that the food can sometimes be thrown together sloppy. The location does not have inside seating, only outdoor tables, and can be affected by weather conditions like wind. While the manager has been described as strict, overall, the food remains a favorite comfort choice for many, especially late at night or after a walk. With a reputation built over decades, Original Tommy's continues to be a must-visit for those seeking a piece of LA’s classic burger history.
