This is the location where I was initiated into the cult of Koulax that is Tommy’s. I grew up around the corner from this Tommy’s location and it pretty much sealed my fate. I love this place! For me, it’s comfort food that reaches the deepest part of my soul. The food at every Tommy’s I’ve been to is consistent and delicious! I usually come in the morning so that I can get my go to Tommy’s breakfast sandwich and chili cheese fries with tomato pickle and onion on top. The breakfast sandwich is one of the wonders of the industrial age. Just the combination of Tommy’s chili, cheese, sausage, and a fried egg is sublime, but that’s not all. They pair that combo with pickle, onion, tomato, and mayo, and then wrap it all in an English muffin-it’s pure umami Nirvana! The chili cheeseburgers and chili cheese dogs here are the best I’ve ever had. I usually don’t have space for them though. I reserve filling in the nooks and crannies of what’s left in my stomach for Tommy’s chili cheese fries. If you like chili cheese fries you need to try Tommy’s version. Again, they are the best! (in my unbiased opinion, of course) Personally, I think they’re even better than the best if you add tomato, pickle and onion on top. And by the way, the tomatoes at Tommy’s are amazing! You’ve never had tomatoes this good at a burger joint. For the uninitiated, it’s best if you wash down Tommy’s with Mountain Dew, or if you’re like me, Diet Mountain Dew. If you haven’t been to a Tommy’s before you need to make the pilgrimage and put your faith to the test. I am confident that once you do, you’ll kneel at the Altar of Koulax and pledge your undying devotion just like I have. Some of my favorite items are: Tommy’s Breakfast Sandwich (with chili, everything on it, English muffin) ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ (yes 6⭐️ out of 5) Chili Cheese Fries (with tomato pickle and onion on top) ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Chili cheeseburger ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Chili cheese dog ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Chili tamale⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Containers of chili to go ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ My guide on how I use the 5 star system: ⭐️ = Not good ⭐️⭐️ = Not terrible, but would not get again ⭐️⭐️⭐️ = Solid, but I’d try something else before this again ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ = Really liked it! You should try this ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ = Loved it! Must try I’ll make adjustments to my ratings after subsequent visits. If you see a .3 or .7 it means: .3 = Wasn’t as good the 2nd or last time I tried it .7 = This was better the 2nd or last time I tried it.

Tommy’s is definitely world famous and their chili does not disappoint. Come for the chili burger, stay for the fries. Limited gluten free options (but that’s probably obvious).

I have been eating at Tommy's for years and it never fails to satisfy. You get exactly what you order, a big burger (sometimes with chili) on it and fries etc. Hard to find a fault in this establishment, open late and convenient! Try it!

Chili is a bit pasty,there's too much crushed beans. Patties were ok, not spectacular. The price is less than others but portions are bigger than normal. Fries are good, and good milkshake. The hype was more than it is. The staff was friendly.

Many restaurants promote themselves as using the best of every ingredient. Tommy's has achieved greatness with frankly grade B fries. True greatness on the shoulders of their spices and sauce that if you had better fries, the whole meal would not be better. As a friend described, "It's disgusting but you have to take another bite." Just look at the photo of my chili fries. Unappealing to say the least. But that right there is the best meal you'll have this week. Do not miss.

I love Tommys quarter pounder with just chili and cheese. The chili cheese fries is bomb. Tamales is excellent. Chili cheese dog is great.

The Golden Age of Tommy's is officially over. Half the appeal of coming here was because it was so cheap. Now it's just way way way too expensive, with just one chili cheese dog costing $8. Hamburgers are just as crazy averaging between 8 and $10 a piece. Goodbye forever Tommy's, it was nice knowing you.

It's the nostalgia of having a Tommy's burger that always gets me. The burgers are delicious. Just need a little more chili on them.
