My father's legal office has better taste. – After reading all the hype on Father's Office, and being a beer and burger lover, naturally I had to make an appointment. I rode my bike and was eager to drink a beer ASAP when I got there. I didn't realize I was in for a 20 minute debate between bartenders as to which beer they thought I would like best. I love knowledgeable people and I respect their opinions however, while I was sitting thirsty and ready for a cool beer to quench my thirst...I never thought I'd cry out for a Bu... read more
No service – There is no table service. You have to go to the bar to order, hoping no one grabs your seat while you're trying to wriggle through the drinkers 3-deep around where you have to go to order. You've heard of Sushi N*zis? This guy's a burger N*zi! You vill take it his way or you won't get it. With a bouncer out front yet? I get a better burger at Louise, an italian restaurant, a few doors makai, and infinitely better service. It's only a block from my home, but I'll never go back.
Best Beer and Burger Combo In the City – 5 of us had five different beers and each of us had the same burger. 5 for 5 on both so I give this place 20 stars. the beer selection is astounding, even for a beer nut like me. great place to watch the lakers. cheers
Awesome beer + burger – I love Father's Office. I love this particular FO even. The beer selection is great, the burger is AWESOME (granted, you cannot substitute anything in it) and the fries are great (ketchup lovers beware - they don't offer it). The only issue is trying to get a table. It's neigh impossible if you get there around 6-7. I've once stood in line to get in as it opens and the place was full within 30 mins. This space issue is the reason why I never go here anymore but instead go to the FO in CC.
awesome – this place was packed to the super extreme, and once i got a little alcohol in me, i fell right into the crowd without missing a beat, fun place, great music........ check it out
great beer - good food - crowded – This super popular santa monica bar has a fantastic beer selection (esp. Belgian and hard-to-find California brews). The food is pretty good too. The only drawback is that its usually very crowded - go early in the afternoon if you want to get a table.
For Burgers and Beer – Voted a few times to have the best burgers in Los Angeles, Father's Office definitely knows how to tantalize the taste buds with their one of a kind non-editable burgers. That means no changes! You get the burger as is no adjustments are catered to. You can order sweet potato fries or garlic parsley fries to accompany your burger, but beware if you're a Ketchup lover as they don't serve any! The fries come with a yummy garlic dipping sauce. Best is to enjoy the beach in the morning, don't eat all day, ... read more
Amazing Food Terrible Wait – The food is spectacular hence the wait, but it is almost impossible to get in 30 minutes past opening and it stays that way until it closes. You order at the bar and when you tell them what you want on your burger they get irritated because they serve it one way. Now, as soon as you taste it you realize that they have a right to be annoyed. It's the most unique tasting thing you've ever had. Mix in an amazing offering of draft beers from all over the world and you have a memorable lunch or casual... read more
Best place in greater L.A. – To the dude who believes Carl's Jr. is better than Father's Office: good, go to Carl's. I don't want to run into you here. Father's Office can tout the best burger in L.A. because they use aged beef, arugula (NOT spinach - get your veggies straight!), an awesome carmelized sauce and incredible sides like skinny fries with garlic aioli (keep your ketchup for your fast food hockey puck). All of their food is excellent. Excellent beer collection for the connoisseur, and also FOOD for the connoisseur... read more
