Founded in 1989 by George Markou, Mega Tom’s Burgers leaned into a simple promise: great fresh food, friendly service, and a fun, casual atmosphere that feels more like a community hangout than a quick pit stop.

Add in extended hours, a drive-thru, and efficient counter ordering that still feels personal, and you have a spot that quietly became a Murrieta institution for breakfast, lunch, and dinner.
