I love the hotdog with everything. It's a full meal on a bun . Ask for a knife and fork

The Calif Classic rivals In n Out. Tastes fresher but pricy at $3.50 for a double (single cheese ). Drink prices too high: $1.55 for small that is really small, not self serve, 1 refill only.

Tommy's is and will always have it's own distinct delicious flavor! Now, try the fresh made frie's!

The Chili is not what is used to be. Now I got to add salt, black pepper and and chili pepper juice to make it better.

A classic L.A. spot.

The employees are very unprofessional. They cuss while customers are present. They don't take orders very well . Food is alright.

Customer service sucks!!! Burgers are ok not world famous! Had better...I think it was the rudeness that messed up the food

It’s pretty interesting walking around spotting the stars you know and love (as well as those you don’t). It’s a pretty seedy area overall, not as nice as is made out in film and on TV. - Paddy
