The food is so outstanding you don't need ketchup, the beer is so good you don't need hard liquor, the chatty atmosphere is lively and entertaining. ”

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. ”

The downside is that you have to wait in line to get in, so you can't have one of their great beers or a glass of wine while you are waiting (wine list isn't bad, not a full bar). ”

DON'T GO , EVER, ( and maybe that way I can find a seat for myself to have some awesome beers and the best burger. ”

- “
Overall its a cool place to grab a bite and have some good beer, but the whole seating situation can be annoying. ”

The bar is way in the back and they make you get up and order each beer individually and buss it back yourself, which is annoying, due to the cramped-ness of the place, but their beer selection is good enough to allow them to make any rules they want. ”

For some reason I thought they had a full bar. ”

great beer - good food - crowded ”

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 extrem ”

Father's Office is great for their Belgian beer selection. ”

Just go and sit at the bar and enjoy the outstanding beer and food. ”

Good crowd of 20-30somethings who appreciate good beer. ”

While they do have a great selection of beers and a good burger and great sweet potato fries. ”

- “
love knowledgeable people and I respect their opinions however, while I was sitting thirsty and ready for a cool beer to quench my thirst. ”

Good burgers, good beer, good crowd. ”

thought the burgers here were fantastic, and they had a great selection of beers to go with, but on a Friday evening, I think I would go somewhere else. ”

On the plus side, their beer selection is extensive and the menu is creative. ”
- “
the bartenders are very knowledgeable about each beer, and make great recommendations! ”

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). ”

since i was born and raised in LA i've visited a plethora of burger joints and Father's Office is the absolute best, bar none. ”

they have a really nice peach cidar and hazelnut beer which have become the usual when coming here! ”

Chicks love the sweet potato fries, but we go for the eel scandinavia style. ”

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 eight dollar Chimay and a mini-shopping cart full ”

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! ”

Medium Rare like i Like my burgers! ”

Went for that "famous" burger that I heard friends rave about. ”
- “
That IS a tasty burger ”
- “
The food is outstanding. ”
- “
Their burger and sweet potato fries are unbelievably delicious, however the fact that there is no waiting list, no hostess, and no reservations, are the reasons I did not give this place a 10. ”

So the sweet potato fries are great, but then how do you screw up a sweet potato fry? ”

All those reviewers who think this place has the best burger in town doesn't know what the **** a burger is or should be. ”

Great beer selection and friendly bartenders. ”
- “
Hard to find a place to sit, and hard to get the attention of the bartenders, but still a great place to go when you just want to chill somewhere good and don't want to deal with show-offy folks. ”
- “
Terrible service, terrible pours, overpriced beers ”
- “
If the service is bad leave a one penny tip. ”
- “
Also, seeing as how their beer is actually interesting and well-selected (and therefore does not come by the yard), I'm sure some people would be opposed to the "small portions. ”
- “
Great food, bad bartenders. ”
- “
few things I did enjoy were the sweet potato fries served in a charming mini grocery cart and the company of friendly people. ”
- “
Not recommended for anyone who is meeting friends or family there since they have a strict occupancy policy of no more than 140 people at one time. ”
- “
can't imagine a business thrives with such poor service and weak concept for a restaurant. ”
- “
Everyone was really friendly, but it was kind of a bummer to have to share a tiny space at the end of the bar to eat our meal. ”
- “
The burger was very good, as were the fries and the bartenders recommendation of beers. ”
- “
This is one of those pretentious places that people love because it makes them feel in the know. ”
- “
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 extrem ”
- “
In addition, the cramped accomodations force you to mix it up with people - which is great, reminded me of some old English bar in the UK. ”
- “
I'm not a huge beer drinker, but the bartender helped me choose one I've never even heard of (and can't remember the name) and it was delicious! ”
- “
Rude service, unpleasant experience, rude owners ”

... , if you like to beg for silverware for your overpriced food, if you like to beg for a napkin, if you like to reach across the bar and scream and yell for service ”
- “
The burger was REALLY GOOD as were the sweet potato fries (both really expensive). ”
- “
All the folks bagging on the burgers are just trolls; It is damn good and worth the drive. ”
- “
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 eight dollar Chimay and a mini-shopping cart full ”
- “
Lines, no space, crowds, overpriced food, rude/cocky staff, nuff said. ”
- “
Terrible service, terrible pours, overpriced beers ”
- “
The burger is quite amazing, but whether you think it's worth the wait and the hassle is up to you. ”
- “
Burgers are good, but they better be if someone's going to fork out $12 bucks. ”
- “
The beef was so good, you didn't think twice about spending nine bucks on a hamburger. ”
- “

I've had better burgers for less money and less wait time, but hey it was still a good burger. ”
- “
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. ”
- “
Just a good chill hang out and the food and beer so worth it! ”
- “
But then I was jostled by some frat boys and I remembered why I don't come very often - there is always a huge crowd in this tiny space with very limited seating. ”
- “
If the employees were as nice as the people I've sat next to at this bar the place would be worth it. ”
- “
Also, seeing as how their beer is actually interesting and well-selected (and therefore does not come by the yard), I'm sure some people would be opposed to the "small portions. ”
- “
There are plenty of other great places to spend your money. ”
- “
One last thing, why are the beers so expensive and so damn tiny? ”
- “
If you just have to try the place I suggest getting an overpriced beer and an order of $6.50 sweet potato fries and see if you can get that far. ”
- “
It's a very small space, but has a huge clientele. ”

but I'll get beyond that long enough to say, OH MY HOW GREAT IS THE FATHER'S OFFICE BURGER! ”

I've once stood in line to get in as it opens and the place was full within 30 mins. ”
