Pros: free parking from the plaza, big space inside and out, open late in culver city. FOR BAR FOOD & a place to YAP. This is good I get all the Michelin hype. For REGULAR FOOD it's only OK. Think American food seasoned with Korean sauces. They are anti ketchup & ranch but that's chill the thin fries came with their own sauce and food was already well seasoned Office burger 8/10 their most famous thing tasted like a burger with galbi sauce Fish sandwich 8/10 was like an elevated mcd filet-o-fish Basket of thin fries are a must needed for a yap feast. I liked them and tbh I am always a person who complains about fries but these were fine Beers on tap paired well with the food. The stuff we wanted ran out or was low so the staff was friendly despite being so busy and gave us new suggestions and an extra drink on tap read more

Placed a pick up order with Uber Eats. I immediately realized I ordered from the wrong location so called the restaurant to tell them not to make the order. The hostess told me that's fine they won't make the order but they will need an Uber Eats team member to reach out to confirm. An Uber Eats team member reached out to them and told them the order needs to be cancelled. The restaurant refused to cancel the order as they said they are already making the food even after the lady told me they wouldn't. I've been eating at father's office for years. read more

Father's Office has one of my favorite burgers around, easily. The burger is rich, juicy, and packed with flavor. They tend to cook it a little more on the rare/medium-rare side, which honestly works really well for this style of burger and keeps it super juicy. If you're okay with that style of cook, it's absolutely worth it. The atmosphere is cool, especially if you want to grab a drink late at night and just enjoy a solid burger. They also have a great draft beer selection and a good overall vibe. The only downside is that the service can sometimes feel a little quirky or inconsistent, which is probably where some of the mixed reviews come from. But overall, if your goal is to get a really good burger, a drink, and enjoy the atmosphere, this place definitely delivers. read more

FO has great beer selection! Honestly one of the best beer programs I've seen anywhere! Good bar food, a large patio with communal tables, and a really fun atmosphere. Great spot for any night of the week or to hang out all day on the weekends! read more

It's been a few years since I've been to FO, and I'm glad it's still the same. The office burger is top 3 for me, and it is consistently delicious and well balanced every time. The beer selection is always great and rotating, and the full bar is perfect for my wife who doesn't like beer. Service is always good and is at the bar. read more

This place has been on my list for a while, and I was finally able to stop by on a Wednesday night. To my surprise, it was still pretty busy. It is a pub with a few TVs, and there is an outdoor seating area. Very casual. You order at the bar and they give you a number. The bartender was great and super friendly. I ordered the Salt & Vinegar Tots and Pork Belly Al Pastor. Both were very delicious. The tots were hot and perfectly crispy. I would highly recommend. Parking: Free parking garage read more

Came here for the burger and decided to try the crispy fish sandwich too. Both absolutely lived up to the hype. The food came out surprisingly fast, and everyone working there was friendly and welcoming. The outdoor seating gives the place a great vibe, making it an easy spot to hang out for lunch or dinner. I'll definitely be back the next time I'm craving one of the best burgers around. read more

Took my 16-year-old to Father's Office for a Thursday lunch and immediately got hit with the "everyone must be 21+" rule... which I definitely knew... and definitely forgot. Not only can kids not go inside, they can't even sit on the patio. Lesson learned. Silver lining: I ordered takeout, and there are picnic tables right across the street. The hostess was amazing and even walked our food over to us. We ended up having a perfect little outdoor lunch under a tree. Burger = worth it. Fried chicken sandwich = skip it. Salt & vinegar tots = also worth it Parking was easy. read more

Yummy bar foods with Asian flare. Got the ribs, salt and vinegar tater tots, and asparagus. Ribs were a bit too sweet for my taste, tots were a fave, I'd totally order again, and asparagus was lovely I would order again for sure. Service is chill. You order at the bar and you're given a number for the food. I've been here years ago like maybe about 15+ years and got the burger. I wanted to try it again since it's been so long but felt a bit heavy for the night. Ribs were good to eat enough and pack up the rest plus I got to try the other sides which were tasty. Salt and vinegar on a tater tot- genius! Packed with flavor- reminded me of something Filipino. read more

I have always been obsessed with Father's Office, especially with their NO SUBSTITUTION policy. There is nothing more that annoys me than someone ordering a burger and modifying everything on it. Of course, I happen to love everything on the Office Burger-Dry Aged Beef, Caramelized Onion, Bacon, Gruyere and Maytag Blue Cheese and Arugula. The quality of the beef on this burger is outstanding. We also love the Frites in a Basket with the Garlic Parsley Aioli. The frites are addicting! Service is very friendly and I love the large outdoor patio. This was a perfect lunch after our Ikea visit! read more

Ive been going to Fathers Office since they only had their Brentwood location. When rhe Culver city one opened up I was elated and have been going there ever since. Located in the plaza with the old Helms Bakery, Fathers Office is both a bar and a food place. There is ample parking in the nearby structure. Upon viewing Fathers Office you'll notice it has a open air design with a huge patio and a bunch of bench seating. During the summer there's nothing nicer than sitting outside drinking a beer and chatting with friends. Fathers Office is known for their burger! A succulent patty of meat with blue cheese, spinach, and a special sauce. If you've never had it, you have got to get it. The burger is like nothing else! Ive never had a bad service experience here, but then again, just dont be a jerk and they'll probably be nice. read more

Felt completely ripped off by the server. I came here because I heard this was one of the best burgers in LA. The burger was actually good, but the server asked me to add fries and mushrooms without telling me they were separate charges. I was shocked when I got the bill: $23 burger + $8 fries + $12 mushrooms, nearly $47 total with tax and tip. I had no idea the mushrooms were an extra $12 until I saw the bill. To make it worse, both the fries and mushrooms were extremely salty. The owner/manager really needs to train the servers to clearly tell customers when items are additional charges and how much they cost. I will not be coming back. read more

After moving away from LA for several years, I wanted to revisit the Father's Office burger during my trip back. It was good as how I had remembered it!!! I love the well-seasoned and juicy patty, onion jam, and blue cheese with the crunchy and fresh arugula leaves. The baguette is able to soak up all the sauces. Something about this combination just hits and I find myself coming back every time I visit! The sprouts were also much tastier than expected - it had a nice crunch on the outside but well cooked on the inside. Enjoyed the addition of pine nuts on top. Father's Office has always been a great pub to chill and get some drinks. Good amount of indoor and outdoor seating options. I love sitting there with a craft beer and watching the sunset. read more

I've been coming here for years, and the burger and fries are still a must. The Office Burger absolutely lives up to the hype; juicy, flavorful and worth ordering every time. The skinny fries are excellent too. As I've gotten older, I've found the restaurant a bit too loud and dimly lit for my taste, so it's not somewhere I stay for long anymore. But if you're looking for one of the best burgers around, this place is definitely worth a visit. read more

Father's Office is a gastropub with a lot of different craft beers. Heard a lot of great things about the burgers here, so was excited to visit. Came here with my mom on a Saturday during the day. It was moderately busy. Upon stepping up to the entrance, we were greeted by the hostess and told to seat ourselves. Menus are accessed via QR codes at each table and orders are made at the bar. We ordered The Office Burger and Mushroom and Grits to share. I'm not a fan of blue cheese so when ordering, I asked if it could be placed on the side, but unfortunately, they do not do any substitutions or modifications. The staff member I ordered with did explain that he's also not a fan of blue cheese and he didn't mind it on the burger since it's not too strong, so we went with it. When we got it, the first things we noticed were that the burger was very bread-y and very greasy (our hands were dripping with grease after taking the first bite). Flavor was good. Lots of arugula and cheese, but there was more gruyere than blue cheese. The Mushroom and Grits dish was solid. Not sure what we were expecting, but it was essentially a few different types of mushrooms on top of a crispy grit cake. Flavor was good on this one as well, but we felt the portion was a bit small. Overall, giving Father's Office a 4/5. For hearing so much about the burgers, we were surprised that there was only one on the menu. Flavor of the food was good. The service is a bit different with the self-seating and going to the bar to place orders a day get wager refills. Staff are friendly. The space is a bit dim which gives it a cozy vibe. There is also a decent amount of outdoor seating. Would be a good place to hang out with friends. read more

I live very close to this Bar/restaurant... It's in this Helmes bakery area where my favorite bookstore is too... They have so many beers on draft! I really loved the Bartender being so knowledgeable to talk about the beers. That is an amazing quality to have in a bartender, when you're going to try a beer you don't know if you're gonna like and of course I asked to sample it, - but to tell me why it's like my other favorite beer or why people like this one the most; was great, super cool atmosphere, super clean, friendly vibes. There's indoor and outdoor seating. I didn't try any of the food, but I might get a bite to eat there next time! read more

Father's Office Culver City continues to be a favorite. The Office Burger remains legendary, order it as is and enjoy. The salt & vinegar tater tots are a must as well, perfectly crisp and addictive. This location is larger than Santa Monica, which makes the experience more relaxed. You order food and drinks at the bar, then settle in either inside or on the outdoor patio. The full bar offers an excellent selection of beers and spirits, and free parking is a rare and appreciated bonus. Great spot to grab a drink with a friend or enjoy a group outing. read more

Father's Office on Helms is a great spot to eat and have some drinks with friends after some shopping in the little plaza. Although it's got a huge selection of drinks as I personally feel like it's more of a bar, they also have a good selection of food for a good dinner! I've liked their shoestring fries, spanish mushrooms, brussels sprouts, and deviled eggs as starters/shareables, as well as the fish sandwich for my main dish. I'm only giving it 4 stars because while everything is good, I've had better versions elsewhere. Still, this is a place I'd be willing to come back to should someone suggest it! read more

Dinner at Father's Office in Culver City - a gastropub with great food (and a few Michelin awards)! It's been on our 'restaurants to try' list for years - it did not disappoint! The service was prompt and the atmosphere was relaxed & fun! We had the following items (all were tasty): -THE OFFICE BURGER®. Caramelized Onion, Bacon, Gruyere, Maytag Blue, Arugula. -CRISPY FISH SANDWICH. New School™ American Cheese, Butter Lettuce, Spicy Tartar Sauce, Sesame Brioche Bun. -SALT & VINEGAR TATER TOTS. Garlic Parsley Aioli. Highly recommend! read more

Not sure why I would have given this a bad review. This place is great. I mean, they can use more vegetarian options. But I always tell people it is one of the best burgers in LA. And also, I miss having servers that come to the tables. read more

Father's Office is an interesting combo of quality and casual. They have unique beers that are some of the best in the world. And the food is very good and high quality. I got the duck confit salad which was refreshing and rich. The sour salad cut the richness of the duck well. And they spiced the duck which was nice since often the flavor comes just from the fat. The portions are kind of small and it is pricey but it is probably worth the quality. read more

What's not to like about GastroPubs?!? The food is usually pretty darn good and the vibe is always lively! Father's Office was featured on Food Network 14 years ago and showed how their burger is made. The choice of several different cuts of meat ground to make their patties, the bacon/onion compote, topped with Swiss Gruyère/Bleu Cheese and arugula on a toasted French roll. What could be better!?!? Then there's the beet salad, oh my. Did I mention the Deviled Eggs? Service is always attentive and if you like libations, they have plenty to choose from. The Office Burger before Covid was probably 35% larger but with the way the economy is, I don't fault them for shrinking the burger and keeping the quality! read more

Came back to Father's Office after about 10 years, and both the restaurant and the surrounding neighborhood have upgraded. The space has a dark, cozy ambiance with wood-paneled ceilings, and there's both indoor and outdoor seating. It wasn't too crowded on a Saturday night, about half full and not too loud, which was surprising, so maybe they get more weekday traffic. I ordered The Office Burger, which was delicious and definitely not your standard burger, different ingredients and unique in flavor. With a beer and tip, you're looking at $40+ per person. There's free covered parking, and the area is walkable, with other cafes, restaurants, and home design stores nearby. read more

Updated review since I've matured since I last reviewed lol Their burgers albeit are not customizable but the chef knows what's best for the burger. They're looking out for you and that's what I'm here for. I've preferred the sweet potato fries and beet salad before. All hits-no misses. Drinks-wise I used to stick to their ciders but recently have been getting into the pilsners. I recommend the kasteel wit- ginger and citrusy notes. My partner ordered an ipa. He liked it. I'm not into them yet. There's plenty of parking either attached, street, or even the parking lot across the street that helms owns. This is a go to date night spot. read more

So many people told me to try this place. I was shopping nextdoor with a friend and he asked the staff. 'where was a good place for lunch?' They recommended the hamburger. We met several other staff in our journey around the store and they all recommended the same place- Father's Office. So, we were starving and excited to try it. Walking in, we saw an amazing ing dish in a server's hand and immediately asked what it was- deviled eggs. We approached reception and were pointed street side and loved they had a lower garden area for dog parents. We had my friend's Yorkie with us so I found us a table while he went to order. I tried to find a chair that wasn't broken and a table that didn't wobble. Just about every chair was unraveled and, honestly, they were uncomfortable. The silver tables were dented and wobbled. I wanted to leave but my friend came out with a table flag and receipt. There were a lot of dog parents and the pets were calm and enjoying themselves. My friend upon seeing the condition of the tables and chairs went back to ask if we could sit at the tables on the porch or inside. She reluctantly agreed but even the concrete picnic tables were uncomfortable. He put the dog in the car and left it running g with AC on and we awaited this much anticipated food. The deviled eggs arrived first. He ate one and then asked me to try before making a comment. I nearly spit it out. So much pickle juice and a caper on top. I will never eat a deviled egg again. We pushed those to the side just as the buyers came. If you've not had a burger here, it is a surprise to get an oval bun with what appears to be Salisbury steak smothered in BBQ sauce and arugula. We each forced ourselves to eat half of our respective sandwiches. Neither of us like them. The flavors were all over the place and not harmonized at all. Lots of vinegar in the BBQ sauce echoed the deviled eggs we just passed on eating. This was not going well. Then the fries he surprised me with arrived. These were cut down small and seasons so much, there was no potato taste. It was like the chef was trying way too hard. Both of us felt sick. He spoke with the manager who was kind enough to credit us for the uneaten food. We left feeling sick for the rest of the day. I would not go back. read more

The staff were very friendly and helpful, and the restaurant is always kept in great condition making you feel clean and comfortable. I got THE thing to order here, the burger.

What an amazing surprise My wife and I had left Rancho Park heading back to Orange County and just bumper-to-bumper traffic So we looked for a place on the way home to stop and have a beer Wow, what a fun spot in the old Helms bakery location Great service from Billy the bartender, wonderful heifer Van two different types amazing selection of beers. I think at least 40 on draft step. We stopped earlier to eat so I didn't think I was going to eat, but we ordered some salt and vinegar or tater tots that were world class and then Billy mentioned they were famous for their Michelin star burger Say what? Bring it Billy and he did and it was so freaking good. It's good a burger as you will have anywhere; its flavor is inspired by a French onion soup. You need to go visit father's office. read more

Overpriced and inadequate. Eating here tonight really punctuated that feeling I've been having lately whenever I eat out, it's not as fun anymore. Chicken sandwich had a very over powering ginger slaw not communicated and the chicken itself was flat and frozen, the tots ware way too salty, and why can't people just enjoy them with ketchup? Burger bun not as tasty as I've had in the past, too much cheese, not balanced.three good items, two drinks, a little under $100. I'm so over LA. read more

Nice place to get a drink with friends but the food was only okay. They don't allow modifications to anything and the burger comes with blue cheese.

This spot is in a nice, but busy area. The outdoor seating was great. As this was my first time here, it was a little unclear where to order food at first, but you go up to the bar for food and drink. I got the Chorizo Fritters, which were delicious, but a smaller portion than expected. My friend got the chicken sandwich (their go-to order, so it must be good) and it was quite large. There are no photos of the food, so you don't know exactly what you're getting. The menu is very unique for a gastropub, but a few additional options would be nice, especially since no substitutions or removals allowed. But they have multiple Michelin awards, so I respect the rules. Great drink menu and great vibes. This place is pricey, but normal for this area and quality. I'll be back and I can't wait to try the Santa Monica location. read more

Ordered at the bar, not a problem, bartender was great! We then discovered Father's Office is cashless (we avoid these establishments), then requested certain condiments be removed from our sandwich "we allow no changes"! Food was brought out separately, so meal was waiting the entire order (5-10 minutes). Requested ketchup, "we don't offer ketchup"! Not a pleasant experience and will not return. For what we paid we will support a business that makes one feel appreciated. Restaurant business is a tough business, we get it, but the restrictions placed on just merely trying to eat a relaxing meal are difficult to justify. read more

Father's Office had a great deal this weekend with the Office Burger at just $9 instead of the usual $23 which is crazy, but at this price, it's easily a top 10 burger in LA. Super juicy, thick patty with a grilled onion jam that really took it to the next level. Service was great, super friendly staff. Also tried the fish sandwich, but it didn't do much for me. Thick cut of fish but a bit bland, and the lettuce on it felt out of place. Stick with the burger, it's the real star here. read more
