Dining Pick of the Week: Tommy’s Original Hamburgers

Tommy’s Original Hamburgers

Craig Marketplace, 7070 W. Craig Road at U.S. Highway 95, 702-207-6361

Tommy’s standard hamburger is a chili burger, and it sure is good. But feel free to request to have the 100 percent all-beef hamburger made any way you like it by adding double-thick slices of cheese, chopped onions, beefsteak tomatoes, pickles and mustard. However, the chili burger is what made Tommy famous, and you have to try it just once. Also say yes to the yellow pickled chili peppers, which are cascabella peppers. They will warm you up on a winter’s day. The limited but always fresh menu features hamburgers such as double or triple hamburger or cheeseburger, hamburger with Thousand Island dressing and the exciting Caliente burger. Ask about the various combos that include fries. Other selections are chili hot dog, chili tamale, chili boat and veggie or cheese sandwich. There are various fries (french, cheese, chili and chili cheese), milkshakes (chocolate, strawberry and vanilla) and Famous Amos cookies. Breakfast is served until 11 a.m. with sausage and egg sandwiches (cheese optional), breakfast burrito, and eggs and hash browns. Hamburgers begin at $2.15. Tommy’s Original Hamburgers is open daily from 7 a.m. to midnight.
