Kendrick Lamar led me here. From Haeundae to Compton. I enjoyed the burger and fries and my aunt was happy to welcome me from Korea.

Every time I can, I find an excuse to go get my usual cheeseburger combo! Place is always clean and the food is fresh and delicious. I have only tried their cheeseburger, but from what I see all their food options look yummy.

Classic LA burger stand with a huge menu. The breakfast burritos are underrated. Service is quick and no-nonsense. Parking is limited. Always affordable and filling

Worker was super nice at the drive thru. Great portion size of fries and burgers. I came for dinner but theor breakfast menu looks amazing. This Tams is the one that was featured in Kendrick Lamar's Not Like Us music video so it was cool to see a piece of pop culture history

Affordable fast food with big portions. The chili cheese fries are a meal on their own. Staff is friendly and quick. Parking is limited but manageable. Always satisfying

One of the best tastiest Tam's in L.A. The grilled chicken dinner is a must have! I like to call it a Kings meal, good portions, with a savoring taste.

I have nothing but great things to say about Tam's burgers. The food is always fresh. Consistent and taste good be it to the French 🥖 Fries to the most expensive dinner plate. I never have anything to say bad about this chain.

Good food. Fries are well seasoned, not salty, and crispy. Chicken strips were good, too. Small dining area but the people were nice and friendly.

Passing through the day before, I went through the drive thru just to get a large orange soda and I was amazed by how good it was, nothing like orange soda I had previously. The next day my family and I decided to go sit down and eat inside. They had a family 4 pack and it consisted of 4 cheeseburgers, 4 fries and 4 soft drinks all for under $25 with tax. Food was amazing, the portion was more than enough and the price point was good. I reccomend.

First time eating at Tams and the food was definitely worth buying. Jumbo cheeseburgers and fries and they were surprisingly good. I’ll definitely come back over here again when I can and also recommend anybody visiting Compton to check out the spot.

I've been going to this location for over 25yrs. The food has always been good. It's great for after the club, feed the alcohol food. But now a days my family loves the breakfast. Customer service has always been pretty good. But now that all the TV and rapper publicity they have gotten very busy. Great for them and business. Bad for ppl who hate long lines. Definitely a to go order place, not an eat in place.

They put fake cheese on the chili cheese fries. Not only is it disgusting it's probably super unhealthy probably closer to plastic than food. I threw it in the trash

Please stop hiring lazy people. Idk if it's the cashier, or the cooks that can't get it right. Either they can't read or follow simple insructions. DON'T spend your money here.

Been coming for lunch for some time now but not anymore. Some woman kept coughing inside and walking around so me other customers have to handle it while the workers didn't do anything. Order was not accurate and didn't get any syrup for my boss's pancake plate(we literally seen the woman filling up syrup as we walked in) A sea of ranch, shredded lettuce with sliced veg is not a salad. Jumbo shrimp plate was awful stick to a glass of water

I ordered a pastrami and got something else. I had to go back a second time . They gave me attitude for they wrong doing. Prices are extremely too high. 29 dollars for a pastrami and 2 orders of fries I doubt if I will be going back

Had a pastrami combo. The meat was scorched & smelled bad. Requested a refund. Manger refunded only the sandwich. I personally would have apologized & offered a different meal or 100% refund. Kids running in and out, riding bikes with loud profanity. Definitely a zero.

I was at this Tam's two (2) weeks ago and ordered a pastrami sandwich which was nice and tasty. Why did I order three (3) today and the pastrami was extra, extra spicy. I should have known something was up, when the yellow bag was red instead of oily. Not everyone wants spicy food. One of my friends ate it with no problem, I will NEVER eat at this place again, because I'm sure they did this on purpose. Horrible
