No Contest – Best burger in LA. Period.
Oh so overrated – This is one of those pretentious places that people love because it makes them feel in the know. If you enjoy standing in line to get in, being squished between hipsters while you wait for your beer, watching people eat like vultures so you can swoop in and steal a table as soon as the seated guest sets their fork down, over priced foods that you are not allowed to alter (allergic to onions? toughen up!), and people breathing down your neck as you sit at tiny tables scarfing down your ridiculously sweet ham... read more
Great Food, Great Beer - One of the Best Burgers in Los Angeles – After reading other's reviews, I decided to give this place a try. It was well worth it. The standard (and only style, not modifiable, mind you) burger was better than I imagined it would be. Hands down, next to The Edison and Pete's Cafe and Bar downtown , this is one of the burger places in Los Angeles. Remember, they do not take American Express. The only con is the seating situation. On a crowded night, you may be standing for quiet a bit while waiting for... read more
Terrible service, terrible pours, overpriced beers – I had heard good things about this place. I went the other night and was extremely disappointed. Neither of the bartenders could provide a decent pour (and let's face it, when your beer costs >$8 it would be nice to get more than 2/3 of a small glass) and the service was next to nonexistant. What service there was bordered on rude. The beer is extremely overpriced compared to other good bars in the general vicinity, and the food is mediocre. Take it from me, there are far ... read more
Worth the Wait – If there's a crowd, then there must be something worth waiting for. Definitely true for this place, so get there early if you want a seat. The burgers melt in your mouth, and the sweet potato fries more than lived up to the reputation I had been hearing about. Best to go with someone who's been there before and can show you the ropes.
Over Hyped and Over Rated – I went here with a couple of friends from work after having heard it hyped up for months. My expectations were very high. I was told that we needed to rush and be first, so we don't have to wait in line. Not being a senior citizen on the early meal plan, we did not make it by 5pm, but rather 6pm.....there was of course a line...the last time I waited in line was a Vegas night club at 2am, so needless to say it felt rather silly. They are strict at the door, so they only let 2 out of 3 of us in the... read more
Best Burgers And Beer – I went for the first time on a Thursday night - So crowded... there was a line to get in the door - but they were so friendly and when I made it the bar only had to wait for like a minute for a beer. The burgers are so good and you sit wherever there is space so you make some unexpected friends! Just a good chill hang out and the food and beer so worth it! Try it
Great Burger but no rhyme or reason for the seating. – Went back to father's Office after being out of town for 3 months and was disapointed. Arrived at 5:30 & when I finally found a seat at the bar I ordered a bear & a burger. I ordered the burger medium, it came out well & the bun was not fresh. The quaility has gone down in the past year. I aslo have a problem with the seating. You get the feeling that the owners/management have the feeling if you don't like it tough go somewhere else. While this may stroke their own egos... read more
Great food and atmosphere spoiled by terrible customer service – The food is outstanding. The beer selection is excellent. A bit crowded - but a fun environment. UNFORTUNATELY THEY NEED TO FIRE THE ENTIRE STAFF! The staff are rude, self-absorbed, arrogant and not terribly helpful. Bad service is an unfortunate hallmark of LA dining but this place is among the worst. Even excellent food isn't enough to excuse the "I'm too cool to be serving you" attitude. I am not writing this review to trash Father's Office. On the contrary,... read more
