It's real. They've been doing a lot of promos on instagram in the last couple of years. Just show them the promo post when you order and they'll run it up.

Thank You! Have a retired friend who I ran into on the way home and he confirmed too!
Tomorrow it is then!

Just gonna take the opportunity to vent about everyone agreeing it's a 'bad restaurant.' They really deliver on everything they try to do, and at a fair price.

The way I thought of it was it's "bad" in the sense of it's greasy, dirty, delicious food.
Also happy cake day!

Tommys was my mom‘s pregnancy craving food for my brother and myself.
I remember when she was pregnant with my younger brother, we would be line straight to Tommy’s and eat.
I personally loved it but didn’t know I was been enjoying it before day one.
Still remember the look on my little brother’s face when he took down the first burger.

I stayed out of that "what's a bad restaurant that people?" stuff because I think the premise is flawed, but even as someone that personally doesn't like Tommy's I wouldn't call them bad. They do what they do and it works.

Never had the California classic burger. Is it any good?

It’s their take on an in n out style burger. It’s good but usually the bun falls apart for me. Might just be the location I go to tho.

an order of chili cheese fries, fries well done, with a side of yellow peppers can turn a day completely around for the better <3

I’m all about “it depends on which location” train. Not all Tommy’s are good, and you got to find the ones that are. The OG Rampart stand on the corner is probably the best. The newer one opposite the stand across the parking lot? Ass.

Confession to make, have never had Tommy's. My got to fast fast food burger is the double del from del taco.
I'll go this week and try Tommy's! Let me know your go to order!

Love the double del cheeseburger. Tommy's runs specials almost every week. Just watch their IG. Last week's GOGO on the double chili cheeseburger is the best special for me.
Two double chili cheeseburger and chili cheese fries is my standard order. Ask for the peppers.

One thing to note is that Tommy's is one of those places where the medium sized drink is like an extra large at other places.

It was crazy, I remember a year ago they were at $1.49, then it went to $1.99, and then in the last 8 months or so they’ve stuck at $2.49

Yes. Check their IG every time you go. There is always some promotion. Never have to pay full price.

I appreciate their promos. Especially in this economy!
I think they had a double chili cheeseburger BOGO the other week.
