Growing up in SoCal around the corner from a Tommy’s location pretty much sealed my fate. I love this place! For me, it’s comfort food that reaches the deepest part of my soul. I usually stop at this location when I’m passing through or staying in Vegas. The food has always been good here, as good as any location in SoCal. 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:

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.

I ordered the double chili cheese burger without a bun.
They were a bit confused at first as to how to serve it. But quickly resolved.
Food was good. Chili was good.
Dining area was clean.
Service was acceptably quick.
There were very few people in the restaurant. I was here on a Sunday evening.
The only negative:
No caffeine free diet soda options.

Got Dbl Chili Cheeseburger and Chili Cheese Fries last night. Service was good, Staff were very nice. Food was DISGUSTING. Patties were old and dry. Chili was like slime with skin, no beans, no beef.. just slime. When I first opened the container, I thought it was raw liver, that's seriously what it looked like.
The place was empty at 7pm. No wonder. I'll never eat that nasty garbage again.

Went for the #1 combo and couldn't even finish it all. I don't have a place like this where I live in Arizona so when I get a chance to get Tommy's in Nevada or California I take advantage. Maybe in the future you will open up a place or two in Arizona.
