Tom's Take Out — Restaurant in Santa Maria

Myself & a friend stopped into this sweet little burger joint on our way to Santa Cruz from LA last week & wow was I completely surprised. I ordered the fried chicken burger combo and an order of Diablo fries. What transpired next was utterly amazing. My chicken burger came out & I took about 2 bites before the Diablo Fries came out & after I saw those fries. I got a box for my chicken burger combo & preceded to dive into the Diablo fries. Words cannot describe how incredible it was. I’ve eaten plenty of loaded fancy fries meals from alot of different places all over the country and these by far are my favorite. Keep in mind these fries are on the spicy side of things so if you can’t take the heat then try something else. These fries aren’t even on the menu, it’s on a piece of paper handwritten on the counter by the register.

And the old Tom's was the best burger in town! The only reason they got 4 instead of 5 is because they don't use the old Tom's sauce. (at least I didn't taste it) Plus, there's no breakfast. But they surpass that by being open 7 days a week, and during the weekends, they are open until 2am! the old Tom's was open 6 days a week until about 5pm. So this Tom's is the best burger in town. Blows away King Felafel - and they are really good! Although quite pricey, this new Tom's is the best burger in town! When you're in the mood late night for a really good burg, this is the...

The crew at Tom’s is cranking out the good stuff all the way up to closing time on a Saturday night. Our first time but hopefully not our last bc those Mafioso Fries are stunning to behold and even more so to consume!

They are gussied up asada fries: crinkly fries covered with cheese sauce, beautifully seasoned asada beef, sour cream, chopped onions, tomatoes, cilantro, and guacamole. With a sprinkle of bacon to complete the masterpiece.

McReeves and I split the fries and a Beast Burger (double cheeseburger with pastrami) which was just pretty good, but no competition to those fries.

Thank goodness we didn’t get anything else bc as it was, we could only finish half those fries between the two of us.

A little spendy at $34 for two items but worth it bc of the...
