Original Tommy's — Restaurant in Burbank

WHERE'S THE BEEF!!!!, you ask? Oh, it’s buried somewhere under a mountainous pile of lettuce at Tommy’s Famous Burgers—because who needs protein when you’ve got greens, right? This place was an absolute delight—if by "delight" you mean a sad, lettuce-drenched tragedy. If you're in the mood for a salad that just pretends to be a burger, congratulations, you’ve found your culinary nirvana. Honestly, I can’t even fathom how this place got its “famous” status, unless it’s for breaking records in burger patty paper-thinness. The patty was so thin, I half-expected to see through it. I’m talking ghost patty thin.

The cheese? Oh, bless its heart—it was thicker than the actual meat. And that tomato? Somehow it became the most substantial thing in the burger. Who knew a humble tomato would outshine a burger in its own burger? But the true star of the show was the lettuce, obviously. At some point, I had to double-check if I was in a salad bar or a burger joint. The lettuce seemed to have staged a coup and was trying to overthrow every other ingredient in the sandwich, suffocating everything with its leafy dominance.

As for the flavor? Lettuce, with a hint of tomato. It was like chewing on a garden, with only a whiff of meat trying to remind you of its existence. But hey, let’s give credit where credit’s due: the fries were actually fantastic, like they were the only thing keeping the whole operation from falling apart. And speaking of speed, the service was so fast it was like they knew their “burger” couldn’t stay together for more than a couple of seconds. They probably just threw it together in a rush—who can blame them? That patty was practically air.

And at $34 for two burgers and fries, I think I just paid the world’s most expensive lettuce sandwich. Never again, Tommy. Next time I crave a "burger," I’ll make sure it’s not a leafy disappointment with a...

My husband loves and enjoys Tommy's Burgers however, he said he does not like the location and it's building situation lacks in appearance. The food is fantastic and is happy there is a Tommy's in Burbank where his parents reside to eat at when he visits. There is no inside dining; there are only a few outside tables to eat at. Parking is HORRIBLE and occasionally have to park within the Carl's Jr. parking lot next door. The establishment was previously an old Der Weiner-Schnitzel" A-Frame building with the red roof and lacks in appearance as I stated earlier. The lot itself is too small for Tommy's to even consider rebuilding on. Also, the price for a meal has increased substantially. A double cheeseburger Combo (with fries and medium drink) is now $12.95!!! On a more positive note, employee customer service was good (friendly) and the wait time to receive the food order for take out was within five minutes or less. The food is tasty but the building lacks in appearance which could hurt...
