Tommy's Burgers - CA and NV


Many moons ago when I lived in Pasadena, CA - it was 2AM and a couple of friends and I were craving a juicy burger. I had never indulged in the CA icon Tommy's Burgers until then - I will never forget that night, good friends, laughs and a big, messy, tasty chiliburger at 2AM.

Here's some Tommy history:

Tommy’s World Famous Hamburgers are definitely one of the best you can find in the Los Angeles metropolitan area. Founded in 1946 by Tommy Koulax on the corner of Beverly and Rampart, the burger chain has taken other fast-food competitors in stride and expanded to include several locations all over the Los Angeles area, including the Orange, Riverside, and San Bernadino Counties, as well as all over southern California and into Nevada. An LA icon, the burger chain has been rated the best in Orange County and expects to retain the title for years to come. The natives and tourists of southern California all seem to agree that it is easily the best burger in town and possibly the best in Southern California, while some enthusiasts are ready to crown it the best in the world.
Made with basic, but quality ingredients, all Tommy’s burgers’ 100 percent beef patties are topped with ripe beefsteak tomatoes, freshly chopped onions, thick slices of real cheddar cheese, pickles, mustard, and of course a heavy dose of their famous chili. With each burger made to order, they come out fresh and piping hot. In addition to their popular burgers, the chain also offers custom made hot dogs and tamales. Burger lovers from all over California and the world are drawn to the ramshackle hut for its retro charm and outstanding chili. The combination of the freshly prepared ingredients and ambience makes Tommy’s one of the best, most beloved, and fastest selling burger joints on the west coast, and maybe, in the world.
