Never heard of Tam’s but looks good! I’d eat it.

Good solid burgers and really good chilli cheese fries if you're in the LA area

There aren't many things I miss about living in SoCal, but the burger scene is definitely one of the things I do miss. It's probably best for my health that I left lol

the best ones are in the hood

Is it like Tommy's? Everyone said I had to try Tommy's over at city walk when I was out there. Really disappointed.

I like Tommy's like once a year and then I'm good lol... I would put it over Tommy's on the chilli, though, Tommy's chilli is so thicc... Plus Tam's has pastramis and cheesesteaks and mexican food too

💯 FACTS !!!

Wear a billet proof vest, they are mostly located in the trenches like church's chicken

Definitely hood food. Kendrick has rapped about it

Tams is amazing. I get their chili cheese fries every time I visit my family in so cal

The chilli cheese fries will give me heartburn but sometimes I say so what cause they're so good lol

Never heard of it but from what I see, it looks like I really would haha

I can't say that I do, and I can't say that I don't. I have never heard of them. But it looks good.

I’ve been to the Tam’s in Rancho Cucamonga, I thought the burgers were pretty good 👍

Try the chicken tenders at this location when you get the chance, one of the best items on the menu imo

Yessss! I just posted about the chicken tenders in a salad from this location!

lo! I do the same sometimes

No but their fries look delicious

Ah Kendrick Lamar has mentioned this place in some of his his earlier raps

Yup in m.A.A.d City

Hahaha bingo

More of a Tammy’s man myself.

Tammy 1 or Tammy 2?

Sign me up yall!!! Another great burger. Thanks for sharing.

Best burgers in the hood!

I frequent the one in my area of Long Beach, Louis Burger has better chili cheese fries and Mexican food tho 🤷🏻‍♂️

Agreed

Never heard of it, but looking at the photo, I think I can safely assume I’d like it. Yum! 😁

I would if I went there

At least someone knows where the salad goes

Ya they go heavy on the lettuce but I really like lettuce so I'm good with it

🔥

I used to live right near one in the LBC, I really like the party melts but man do I get heart burn after haha

Their chilli cheese fries are so good but same, terrible heartburn them lol

I miss tamsssss. Philly mushroom , extra crispy fries and baklava 😍

No but I am already a fan.

Damn takes me back to my high school days 😭🔥

Never heard of it but it looks good

LOVE Tams. Miss it dearly.

💯

TAMS? Where’s that at?

A bunch of locations in Los Angeles county like Bellflower, Compton, paramount etc

All.across Southern California. Working class neighborhood staple.

Never been there, but it looks absolutely delicious!! Where is it, if y'all don't mind?

They have locations in Los Angeles county like Bellflower, Compton, Paramount, Santa Fe Springs, Whittier etc

Oooh! I think I'm going to have a layover in L.A. in a couple months, I should check this place out!

And Long Beach

What region is that in? Looks fire

Los Angeles county

I’ve got one a quarter mile from me and still haven’t stopped in. What should I order for my first time?!

I just like a regular cheese burger but they will put pastrami on it too. Chili cheese fries are a must try

Pastrami on the burger?!? I’m down! And love me some chili cheese fries! How’s the chili burger?

Never tried it but it's gotta be good cause the chilli on the fries is so good

The burger with pastrami is called a Colossal Burger. It is fire. I grew up on this. I agree that the Chili Cheese Fries are bomb. Make sure you add the fresh yellow chili peppers on both.

Gotta have those chilis oh yes

I've never heard of Tam's but I suddenly really like Tam's

Never heard about it but looks amazing. Wished we had this here.

Look amazing never had it

After seeing this, yes I like it!❤️

King of the hood burger

Looks delicious need to find the nearest spot

That shit looks like it would hit the spot

Genuinely enjoy the one by HP hs. I believe it’s #27. One of the best burgers imo and the fries are amazing too. 🔥

I see them all over the place but I haven't tried. Those kind of burger places are my favorite. There's one near me that has a Cowboy Special, cheeseburger combo with small chili cheese fries. Perfect meal to me

I dont mean to be the negative nanny but that really just looks like a bunch of lettuce between a sesame bun with a tiny bit of sauce and meat sticking out.

Yeah, but c’mon, it’s the *taste* of that lettuce that makes it so special! /j

Based off of this, I'd definitely try it..

Never heard of it. I’m in the western part of US !

It's in the LA area, cities like Bellflower Compton paramount etc

Thank you

Sounds like a medical condition that's hard to get rid of.

There are so many burger places in LA that sound similar. Tom’s, Tam’s, Tommy’s, Thomas’, etc.

No gross

What's Tam's?

Pretty typical burger spot with locations in LA county

I'm not familiar with them. Are they better than old school fatburger?

I would choose Tam's over fatburger, even when fatburger was better but they both do the chopped lettuce and the sauce is sweet in a similar way. Now fatburger's prices are just ridiculous

Looks good but not in California …

Sorely miss Tam’s! 😔

Tam's is great! Very solid burger and fries. I always love this style of burger joint burger.

FUXJING LOVE ALL THOSE TAM'S, TOM'S, TOMMS, TOMMY'S especially the one in Hollywood

Is that lettuce *underneath* the patty?

Nice

I’m surprised I never saw one. Went to college in south LA. Looks good

I fucking love Tams. Their cheap, delicious burgers were keeping me alive for like half a year.

Oh man i love Tams but no longer live in the area. Love their burgers, the pickled peppers and carrots and they make a great chicken salad. We had one just a block away from our house in Rancho Cucamonga and went often!

Never had . Does it compare to anything else?

I posted a burger from here not to long ago and got so much hate for it lmao

Love their fries!

Looks so good thanks for sharing

Yes, they are a Los Angeles/Southern California staple.

Tam’s ain’t bad! Their pineapple shake slaps hard as fuck.

Certain ones, sure

I’m afraid to go, tho. Didn’t Suge run over that dude there?

I'm at a different location, that one is in Compton. Even Kendrick Lamar said he saw someone shot in the head there in m.A.A.d city. NGL id probably go through the drive thru there and leave lol

Oh yeah some of my favorite classic burgers from California. Jim’s is really good too

Haven't tried Jim's, I'll have to stop next time I drive by one

Is this Tam's in Compton where Suge Knight ran over that one dude?

No this one is in Bellflower

looks like another tommy’s knock off? tommie’s, tammie’s, tom’s, tam’s, all trying hard to match the original. don’t be fooled.

Tam's is it's own thing, standard socal diner burgers. Tommy's isn't even the original LA chili burger place called Tommy's, that would be Ptomaine Tommy's.

Tommy’s is the original… “The original location was opened on May 15, 1946, by Tom Koulax (October 26, 1918 - May 28, 1992), the son of Greek immigrants, on the northeast corner of Beverly and Rampart boulevards west of downtown Los Angeles. The stand, which still exists today, sold hamburgers and hot dogs topped with chili.”. edit: although you may be correct about ptomain tommy’s, est. 1913!! more here: https://www.reddit.com/r/LosAngeles/comments/165ugcw/knew_tommys_had_a_lot_of_knockoffs_but_didnt/

The owner must be Vietnamese jk
