best beer selection in town – I go to the FO...... on the regular and it is only getting better and now with a new location I am in heaven. The old one is closer to my house but i find myself in culver city more these days. I hope this turns into a non corporate chain, so I can have it whenever I travel
Just bar food but it is GREAT bar food – Maybe the best burger I've had in my life. You can't make any substitutions but who cares, it's perfect the way it comes to you. They also have an impressive selection of beers with bartenders who actually know something about the beer. Bartender beer knowledge is something that is usually sadly lacking here in LA but Father's Office makes up for that.
best restaurant in l.a., the place we want to go everyday, favorite for out of towners, best specials in l.a. – Father's Office rocks, it's always packed and has a great buzz but there is always room in the new spacious location, and the owner is a famous chef not just some bar guy, so his specials are the best in town, and no tax, what a deal. A must have is the soft shell crab, fried crispy and with a spicy thai red chili sauce and a perfectly simple corn relish, and don't miss the steak frites, now with au poivre sauce, i... read more
the owner is right--it's just bar food – Sadly (really) never acquired a hardcore taste for alcohol--just a social drinker here--so my interest in My Father's Office was geared towards the food and I'm now guessing that the positive buzz about the burgers and fries is probably derived intoxicated taste buds. The famous burger is tiny, served on a prone to sogginess bun and only mildly enjoyable--it's a little tangy, too moist and not particularly filling. It's not unlike air plane/airport food--really nothing special--unless... read more
Not What I Expected... – I think I expected a much less uppity, more vintage feel from Father's Office than I ever got. While they do have a great selection of beers and a good burger and great sweet potato fries. They don't have great service, and by that I don't mean I was ignored or something. I understand it's a place you have to make yourself know, that it's thing and I get it. But there's a difference between that and just being rude which is what we got. I think this place relys too much on it's reputation, and while ... read more
Mysterious burger! – So, I just went to the Culver City Father's Office in that Buttercup complext or whatever, on a Sunday at 5:30pm. No lines. No wait. I went up to the bar and asked the bartender if they did take out.. He was cool. He said, um, not really, but I can bring the food to you and give you a box. Score! I ordered a beer in the meantime, but I only finished about 1/3 of it, cuz the food was ready in about 8 minutes. Shazzam! Let's just say we're not talking about a traditional burger. It's interesting. Good. I g... read more
BAD Service and rude staff – Lines, no space, crowds, overpriced food, rude/cocky staff, nuff said... What's there to like? A few friends and I wanted to see what all the "hype" was all about and we'll never go there again! Very overrated.
If you like to be ignored ... – If the employees were as nice as the people I've sat next to at this bar the place would be worth it. But I long for a self-serve, self-checkout like at CVS or Ralph's. If you like to just sit at a bar and be ignored, if you like to die of thirst w/an empty beer glass in front of you and an open tab, if you like to order a $12 burger w/$2.50 fries and get a bill for $27 ... , if you like to beg for silverware for your overpriced food, if you like to beg for a napkin, if you like to reach acros... read more
Big, Juicy Burgers on Firm Buns – I love me some father's office. Mmmmm. I'm going to go get one right now! I really like dipping sauce. Yummy in my tummy. I wish there were more seats though.
