Tam's Burgers is an American restaurant chain based in Southern California. Founded in 1971, it has been seen as a symbol of Compton, California.^[1]

The restaurant is not to be confused with another chain based in Southern California that has the same name. That chain split from the original Tam's in 1992 and serves the Inland Empire, with six locations.^[2]
