Not all Tommy's are created equal. The original on Beverly and Rampart in Los Angeles is still the best, and that's what gets the five stars.

Tommy's is a great place if you have a hankerin' for some great chili on burgers, fries, hot dogs, and yes, even tamales.
Also, Tommy's isnt as cholesterol laden as some may have you think.
Its chili burger has 55mg of cholesterol (source: Tommy's official website), not healthy by any means, but less cholesterol than a quarter pounder (no cheese), a big mac, a whopper (no cheese), a carl's jr. famous star... and many other burgers found in those chains.

quite possibly the best burger in the west, hot dogs aren't bad either

The ulitmate Los Angeles cholesterol time bomb. Do it with chili and a fried egg. Then lay on the couch and let it settle like a stone. Lethal, but a true El Lay experience...

There's nothing like a Tommy's chili burger and chili cheese fries. Although this is a heart stopping cholesterol laden feast, you gotta have it every now and then. Not a whole lot of locations though. The only place that is better is not a chain, but if you're ever in Los Angeles, you must make it a point to eat at Carney's.
