Tomboy's Famous Chiliburgers - Lawndale, California

Stephen C.

First time having Tomboys, I was working down the street at Northrup Grumman on a project. There are some pricey restaurants in the area, I wasn't looking to go that route. This place was located near a transit center, so can be a convenient option for those traveling city transportation. Serves American and Mexican breakfast, lunch and dinner offerings, pretty much a typical hamburger joint. I was supposed to find they also sell pizza there, an unusual offering for a place like this. I have a bacon hamburger, which comes with bacon, crisp iceberg lettuce, tomatoes, white onion, pickles and 1000 island sauce. Served on a toasted bun. Shoestring style french fries seasoned with a Lawry's type seasoning salt. Overall the burger in my opinion was fresh and tasty served as is, you may opt out to some of the ingredients, such onions, as I do occasionally 🤣. The drive thru is a little narrow, so if you are driving a bigger vehicle, be careful or park and go inside. My friend in Chevy Silverado drove over the curb. ♿ Handicap parking and entrance.

This was a surprise. After getting gasoline at Costco, I needed a bite to eat while on the run. This was certainly a surprise as the food was made to order - it took several minutes versus seconds, like the typical fast-food drive-thru. Yet, the wait was worth it as the food was tasty, newly cooked and prepared well. Produce was fresh and fries were toasty, not oily. Having this my first time, the menu was overwhelming - and many restauranteurs recommend sticking to smaller menu joints for the best quality. The rule may not apply here at Tomboy's - so I will be back to try additional menu items. Bag-to-go works well to eat behind the wheel, But ONLY while parked. This is hefty food stuff, so there was no need to drive while eating this. It's definitely not fast-food. The very nice lady who took our order with patience also served us with the utmost kindness - she gets 5 stars!

The pics before I devoured my Chili Dog and French Fries lol 😂. This is from Tomboy’s Famous Chili Hamburgers on Marine Ave in Lawndale, CA. I was craving a chili dog today for some strange reason, so I ended up eating lunch there today. Tomboy’s has one of the best Pastrami sandwiches in California. I also highly recommend their Onion Rings. Their French Fries are seasoned with Seasoning Salt and are a hit with any sandwich you decide to get from their menu. I’ve been coming for many, many years and their food is always prepared fresh and hot. They have a nearby location in Manhattan Beach on Manhattan Beach Blvd, just west of Aviation Blvd.

5 stars for the food. Chili burgers were great and the fries were crunchy. But minus 1 star because unfortunately they didn't have any tomboys...

If you are in the mood for old school diner food you have come to the right place. The fries are utter perfection with the right amount of crisp and seasoned correctly. The burger is moist and hits all the right tastes. And then there's the pastrami sandwich, this thing is girthy so bring your appetite. I know I will have the meat sweats after this one, but it's so good. The decor is dated which lends to the old school diner ambience.

I really wanted to enjoy this place. I ordered the pastrami but it soaked the bread and way to stacked and wife the burger. I ships have tried their chili as this is their claim to fame. 3 stars but will return to give them a second shot.

We came to Tomboys to try their chili dogs and end up eating breakfast. The food was delicious, the French toast and pancakes taste home made. The hash brown were nice and crispy. Overall great breakfast experience
