June 06, 2025Underseasoned Nightmare at Original Tommy's
I'm still trying to process the utter disappointment that was my last visit to Original Tommy's. As a self-proclaimed burger aficionado, I'd heard the hype and decided to give this LA staple a try. What I got was a lackluster experience that left me questioning the sanity of the culinary world. The Caliente Burger, which I'd been told was a must-try, arrived at my table looking like it had been sat out for hours - the patty was dry, the cheese was congealed, and don't even get me started on the 'chili' which tasted more like ketchup with some sad, limp onions thrown in. The 'world-famous' chili cheese fries? More like lukewarm, oil-drenched sticks with a faint whisper of chili powder. I mean, who seasons their food with what appears to be a light sprinkle of desperation and regret? The service, while friendly, seemed completely disconnected from the kitchen's apparent meltdown. Our server seemed put off when I politely asked for a refill on my drink, and the manager on duty looked like they'd rather be anywhere else when I brought my concerns to their attention. For a place that's been around since 1946, you'd think they'd have their act together by now. Maybe I just caught them on a bad day, but until they address their quality control issues and work on actually seasoning their food, I'll be taking my business (and my appetite) elsewhere. Original Tommy's, you've got some serious soul-searching to do if you want to keep your loyal customer base from dwindling.
