Worst place in LA! – After waiting in line for an hour, there was no place to sit, no place to order at the bar. After looking and hunting for a table for another twenty minutes we hovered over someone leaving and snagged there table. They we had to save the table and then go to the bar and order. Not that easy. The bar is crowed next to impossible to place and order. Chaos! Finally I place and order for two beers and two burgers. The beers came back with half full and half full of foam. Not good. After an hour of waiting fo... read more

Rude service, unpleasant experience, rude owners – I love a good burger and I used to go to this place quite a bit. But after it got crowded, the owners didn't seem to adjust. Try to get your order in at the bar, good luck. Try to get a table. Good luck. Try to ask the people who work there or own the place for a little help dude? Good luck. I once complained to the owner that 5 people behind me at the bar ordered before me and he 1. ignored me and walked by. 2. i stepped into his path and asked again. His response? "Get ove... read more

burger snobbery without a cause – You think your burgers are too good for ketchup but not too good for that mayonaise-intensive sauce? Please. They're not that good, and your restaurant is not that cool now matter how dis-interested your moody bartenders act. Burger is good and scene is good from social standpoint, but neither are outstanding. And I've been several times.

What's The Hype About – I have heard everyone rave about Father's Office so I was so excited when I finally got to try their burger and fries. You have to wait on yourself and then the burger finally arrives. It was ok not the best I've had better infact I got a stomach ache from the burger. I was able to get a table when I walked in but the place soon become like a college party. For a $12 burger with no service go some where else.

Best Burger in Santa Monica!! – This is probably one of the BEST BURGERS I've had in MY WHOLE LIFE!!! It is sooo yummy!! Medium Rare like i Like my burgers!! It might gross you out a little if you don't like medium because some of the bloood soaks into the bun.. haha.. mmm blooody bread mmmmmmm. Good selection of beer, but it does it INSANELY busy so be ready for a wait! Also, they DO NOT HAVE KETCHUP for the fries - boo on them! but seriously, you have to come here and try the burger YUM YUM YUM!!

Let me begin my saying that we show up and stand outside in a line for about 15 minutes to get into this place. Once we get in...we basically have to scout and literally hover over people for about an hour to actually find a place to sit and eat (we had to earn a spot to hang/eat at this "covered" establishment). Once we find a spot we are told that they are essentially out of their specialty...BURGERS. How does a restaurant that only has about one item on the menu run out of it??? We gave this place a shot...not once, TWICE... read more

The burger is good but really, don't bother wasting your time (or theirs) – Let me start by telling you, my good friend, that the burger is pretty darn good. That said, I would not recommend that you even bother trying to go to My Father's Office. Here's why: 1. They don't take reservations. Forget getting a table without having to negotiate with people who are currently eating their meal to get their table when they're done. 2. They don't appear to have dedicated waiters, you have to get your menu from another table or at t... read more

Burger and beer lives up to the hype – So many people were talking about the burger here that I just had to try it. And now I can hardly stay away. At $12 bucks a pop and around $6-8 for a beer, this isn't a cheap meal, but if you're craving a good burger or are taking a friend out from out of town, this is a great place. It can get incredibly packed at night, and even after they let you in (and take your order, and bring your food), you're likely to find yourself standing in the middle of the crowd, table-less, juggling an ... read more
