Original Tommy's Palmdale Reviews
I’ve traveled the world and have tasted food from all over this world and I’ll tell you… coming home to a Tommy’s chili cheese burger is the best! Either Tommy’s or In-N-Out make America the greatest.
Always a favorite I've been a customer for 41 years. And it tastes the same every time I love it
I Love Tommy's I'm always satisfied, hope one opens in the Sacramento area. I May have to do it myself.😁🤔 Service with a smile always 👍🏾
Always confidant with the workers and know the exact flavor. Nice workers. Had chili dogs. Yummy hotdogs. ❤️❤️
Delicious food! Great chili cheese fries and chili cheese burgers too! Great customer service too. Nice clean restaurant.
Absolutely outstanding flavors and quality! I ordered late night and was worried the chilli dog and the chilli cheese fries would be cold and soggy. They were fresh and outstanding!
It's Tommy's....duh. I enjoy Tommy's because I know exactly what to expect and it does not disappoint. Tommy's has been and always be the go to for me and chili cheese burgers or chili cheese dogs. Been going there since at least Jr high. Always good.
Now I'm from the valley so this place has definitely some nostalgic Memories by being up here in the AV I love it this place is what I go to when I want some chili you're craving. The staff is very nice and the drive-thru is very fast absolutely like coming here late at night though
I must be fair, this was my first time eating at this restaurant and I was blown away by the burger and the chili! If you've never been here, get a burger and chili fries and enjoy. I had the mega combo which was a 3 pattied cheese burger with chili with chili cheese fries and a large drink and it was worth every cent! Come hungry and leave stuffed!

Usually Tommy's isn't the greatest place, but this spot was pretty dam good. Food was really good, the place was nice and clean and location was in a good spot.
I really enjoy their burgers this is my favorite fast food restaurant in Palmdale. I don't like to wait at In-N-Out to order or for my food. This is much faster. The only negative is they have limi…
We needed somewhere to eat very late night and this was one of the few options available that I couldn’t get in MN. The cashier was very friendly and accommodating, she made sure we were well taken care of and satisfied. They had a buy one get one free burger deal which made it even better. The burgers were decent, we didn’t get chili because I didn’t want to suffer at work the following day lol. But my criticism is the burgers had to be some of the thinnest patties I’ve ever seen on a burger. Overall good spot for night time cravings or a quick dinner.
Gave me a stomach ache, the chili smelled like "meat" n not so pleasant. I went 1/11/2026 evening.

Needs improvement in speed of service and paying attention. Hardly any customers but have many employees standing around socializing.

I usually come here for their chili cheese fries however they weren't the star of the show today. They were dry and something tasted off. The Tamale does not have a bad taste, however it was soggy …
Burger was okay. Tasted like a Wendy's double stack but way more expensive. Fries were cold, steak style. They aren't fresh. I tried it because they had burgers on sale. I wouldn't go back. I would…
I have been going to Tommy's since the early 80's. I have even been to the original location a few times. Most of my life, I considered this a place for the average worker to eat. The prices have gotten so out of hand that this place is just a once-in-a-while treat. I cannot understand how a burger combo costs $15 now. The food has always been DECENT but not great. The workers treat you like it is your duty to spend money there. They forget that we have options (including eating at home for a fraction of their prices). I could handle the prices a bit better if the employees showed a bit of gratitude. Once thing to note: Many years ago, their tables always had a card that listed the ingredients with a big note across the bottom: AS ALWAYS, EXTRA CHILI IS FREE. Those cards are long gone and the burgers are now much smaller. A double chili burger, chili fries, and large coke used to be about $5.
I noticed that this time is doesn't have the same specials as the one in norwalk, the mega deal, which makes it extremely expensive. I mean, if you like, tommy's it tastes just as good but they just don't have the same deals.So I wouldn't go there regularly.Special occasion only something like that.

The chili burger is not good. I didn't like their chili and the combo prices are too high for what you are getting. The seats for a group of 4 feel cramped. This is the only Tommys I have visited.
I’ve been eating Tommy’s since the 80’s and for the first time today the chili tasted spoiled at the Ranch Vista (Palmdale). I’ve eaten at this location for the past 3-years and I don’t know what happened‼️ I called and asked were there any other complaints about the chili cheese burgers today, and they said no…. 🤷🏾
Ordered food, I'm pissed they didn't give me half the stuff I ordered. It was a large order. Make sure they give you everything.
The food is NOT what it used to be! The tomato was larger than the burger! The prices are high for the quality of food received. The ordering was good and service workers were polite. The food is what is getting me the chili is not the same something changed and the burger was so thin. Chili fries barely had chili and so did the burger. The tamale was all masa! Taking this one off the list of places to eat just not worth the money
I go to these off and on when I travel to the Inland Empire and they can be very good. But 2 nights ago I grabbed a california burger+fries in Palmdale location and was terrifically disappointed.…

Just tried to order waited a few minutes at the box and no one answered-pulled around and there's 3 people working and not acknowledging us even after another few minutes so we drove off.
Service was horrible there were 4 people at the counter and not one would take my order. Finally they realized that I had been waiting for someone to help me after 10 minutes someone finally realiz…
Blond woman at the front tells me im in the wrong for picking up the wrong order when the older gentleman can’t hear me properly after telling him my order name 5 times. I don’t argue with food workers but this left me so baffled at the poor choice of workers giving out online orders. 🤡
Tommy's in Rancho Vista use to be good but now there burgers lost touch there very greasy check your veggies inside your burger to make sure there fresh and as you can see i got some nasty old Raw tomatoes also the chillies beans tastes so different. Never again Tommy's lost my business 😒 so sad that they lost there touch.
They don't offer the deals that are posted they will charge you full price and tell you there is nothing they can do,charged me 25 $ for 3 chilli dogs ,Beware.
Changing my past past review to current 7/28/24.. paid almost $40 bucks to get the wrong order! Even the receipt didn’t match the other. We asked for a number one so the no onion's with regular fries!! That’s a double double… another number one again double with Chili’s cheese fries… got home looked for the no onions… bothered burgers were single patties!!!!!! Both onions… both chilie cheese fries… they did not hit the mark.. also it was out together so messy and squished and so much onions. Yes it’s meant to be messy but it was beyond messy and didn’t look a good at all. It’s a few minutes from closing time so can’t go back to get the order fixed. Disappointed.. smh. Store #31 only thing that was correct was root bear float and one chilie cheese fries… the chilie cheese fries was all basically chilie and fries.. and we come here a lot during the day and late nights.. it’s like they tried to hide that they didn’t give us fries and that the extra patty wasn’t there his with chilie.. she did say they ran out of yellow pepper chilies.. the onions smelled awful.. just terrible.
bland no flavor. They got my order wrong I tell them no spicy pepper they still put it in my burger. The chili was watery and barely tasted like meat, most of the chili was on the outside of the burger. Never coming back here again. No wonder no one comes here they need to shut this place down
