    Ordered the brisket platter and while the meat had a good flavor, it was very fatty- not much of the meat was edible! Baked beans were good, Mac n cheese was just okay! I honestly was a bit disappointed because I felt like I paid $22 and waited 30 minutes on a lunch plate only to eat a few bites from the sides!

    1-10 scale Food- 7 Atmosphere-10 chilled Parking-Free parking lot Service-9 Cleanliness-10 Price-$8-$45 So I just left from here eating with my friends the food was cool, but I wish I got meat on my beef ribs. There wasn't any meat at all. The chicken sausage was really good and juicy. The brisket was tender.

    Reallllly good BBQ food. The beans caught me off guard being my favorite side dish. The sweet potatoes were my second favorite dish and the toast was a great addition. The spicy bbq sauce was great.

    I was picking up lunch from another restaurant and while I waited, I went on my trusty Yelp app to see what else was around and realized that My Father's BBQ was in the same shopping center. I figured, why not pick up dinner... Been awhile since I'd had BBQ. I ordered a two meat combo with two sides. I chose the pork ribs and brisket, since they didn't have the beef links. The lady was super nice and she suggested calling before to see what meats they had for the day. She did say that with Covid, deliveries had not been easy, which I can totally understand. The meat smelled very good when I opened it. You could definitely smell that they smoke it. The ribs were delicious, meaty, and tender! I have to say that while the pork ribs were a good portion, the brisket was not. I had major hunks of fat attached to mine. If it's weighed like most BBQ places do, it would have been nice if they'd added a little extra meat, seeing how the big hunks of fat were inedible...at least for me. My dog sure enjoyed the fat! You can choose to get your sauce on the meat or on the side. I chose on the side, simply because I like to taste the seasoning on my meats before I add the sauce. I feel like sauces should enhance the flavor, not be the flavor. I like that they offer mild, medium, and hot BBQ sauce. I chose the hot and it was very good. I also like that it was rather thick. I hate super thin BBQ sauce, so that was a nice surprise. I ordered the greens and yams for the sides. The greens were good, but very mildly flavored. I was surprised that it wasn't straight greens, but greens and cabbage, which is still a good combination. I did have to add a little salt and pepper for flavor. The yams did not do it for me...I really hate to say that. They were not flavorful at all, and even worse was that several of the larger chunks of sweet potatoes were still hard, not fully cooked. Besides needing to be cooked longer, they also needed more cinnamon and brown sugar. I could have easily added that to doctor it up, but with the uncooked chunks, there was no point. Overall the food and customer service was great! I would definitely go back again. I want to try more of their meats and sides, including the brisket chili! They also give a discount for ILWU, which I thought was fantastic! So don't forget to show your card for discount. They are very Covid friendly, taking in person walk up orders, as well as phone and online orders. They also offer large family and party meals, which is great for the holidays or if you just don't feel like cooking.

    Turkey Leg Dinner
    Magno P.

    This might be the best bbq joint in Souther California. I was immensely impressed with the items I got to try. First was the loaded fries. I honestly don't think I can eat loaded fries anymore unless it's from My Father's BBQ. So much flavor and the sauce's compliment each bite. The turkey leg with the Mac & cheese was also delicious. The turkey leg here destroys any turkey leg including the one sold in Disneyland. The bbq plater with the ribs, brisket, chicken, and chicken sausage was good. You can eat the ribs without sauce but if you add their house made sauces it doesn't hurt either. The inside gives me texas and Alabama vibes and it's very clean and neat and TVs around to catch a game. If you're a bbq lover you should add this place to your list.

    I'm so disappointed. Came here hungry and was excited, got here before 5 pm and waited 10 minutes just to place my order? Why? there was not a line in front of me! finally get to order but you are out of iced tea, mashed potatoes, and greens, how it's not even 5 pm! ok whatever, now I wait 20 minutes, n nothing. another 5 minutes n I get water n bread. wait another 10 minutes to get room temperature food, no drink or utensils. come on really! my brisket is mostly fat, and now I listen to the cook threaten to walk out, while 2 other employees watch her rant! dirty tables too I would rather have good hot food without the side show! and after all that she stayed! My Father should tighten up his house!

    Dryyyyyyy tips
    Teresa C.

    Ordered the 2 meat combo(chicken& rib tips) . My total was $39 and some change. I got there a little before 7, they close @8. Came home and opened the plate to find 1 leg quarter and 9 dry ass tips!!! So let's due the math.... That's $20 for a leg quarter and 1 side and $20 for 9 tips and 1 side. That seems a bit over priced. I'm not really upset with the price. It's the quality of the food. The leg quarter was decent. Those tips had HEAVY SMOKE, and was DRY as the Desert. I'm not going to review the sides, I went for BBQ!!!! I'm so disappointed!!!!!!

    Angus Brisket, BBQ chicken. Spicy sauce
    marco s.

    First and foremost, yes, it's expensive. I had the 2 meat combo 2 sides and a roll: $34. I had Angus Brisket and bbq chicken plus baked beans and coleslaw. Both Brisket and Chicken were smoked to perfection. The meat was tender and juicy. Had the spicy bbq sauce. Perfect. Pricey but worth it. Pls don't change.

    Here for the bbq!

Pancakes were also very delicious with good flavor and fluffy height. The pancakes had a brown butter topping that he really liked, didn't even need syrup. Sausages didn't seem homemade but were very tasty. I ordered the Eggs Noni, which is a version of Eggs Florentine, plus a side of bacon. The Eggs Noni came on two pretty hard small sourdough discs. I had difficulty cutting through the crust with a knife. There is a lot of cayenne in their hollandaise sauce, not my favorite version. The thick slice of tomato was the highlight. Side of bacon $6 for two measly pieces - overcooked and too crunchy. I could tell the bacon would have been good if it was more on the meaty/chewy side. This came with a potato pancake which was like mashed potatoes mixed with cheese and then fried. Service was okay, I think because it was pretty busy. They may need more staff to help the servers with drink refills and to check in more frequently. Lastly, our table was very wobbly and we had to fix it with sugar packets otherwise our drinks would have toppled.

At many brunch restaurants, you can sometimes sense when the basics -- like pancakes or French toast -- aren't given the attention they deserve. They may look appealing on the menu but feel rushed or underwhelming when served. Here, however, the fundamentals are done right. There's care in the texture, balance, and execution, and that consistency makes all the difference. Weekend mornings often find us slightly sleepy and very hungry, searching for somewhere comforting to begin the day. What we want is warmth and familiarity -- something that feels almost as cozy as staying in bed. And when the craving for sweet carbohydrates hits, we're not looking for restraint. We're looking for soft, fluffy, fully satisfying bites. If that's what you're after, this location delivers. You'll likely leave in a better mood than when you arrived.

The service was prompt and we got seated immediately when we came on a Monday. The bad: The blueberry lavender matcha was $8 and was too sweet. I don't think there was outside seating options. The burrito could have used more pico de gallo. It was a good burrito but not outstanding or something I'd order again. The interesting: They sell lots of drink options and lemonades from a different vendor (?) inside. They even had a mangonada!

The staff was incredibly sweet and welcoming, which always makes a meal that much better. To start, we shared the coconut shrimp and the crack fries, and wow... the crack fries absolutely lived up to their name. They were dangerously addictive. Crispy, flavorful, and impossible to stop eating. We kept reaching for "just one more" until the basket was empty. The coconut shrimp was also fantastic and a perfect starter to share. For entrees, my parents split the vegan Korean glass noodles and absolutely loved them. They were packed with flavor and surprisingly hearty. I ordered the Korean breakfast, which was my favorite dish of the meal. I'm a huge bulgogi fan, and everything on the plate was savory, flavorful, and satisfying. My sister-in-law got the kimchi fried rice, which was also delicious, and my brother ordered the Filipino breakfast burrito. It was good, but compared to everything else we tried, it wasn't the standout dish for our group. My only real complaint was that it was pretty warm inside the restaurant. The AC didn't seem to be running, and there was only one small window open, so it got a little uncomfortable during brunch. That said, the food, service, and overall atmosphere more than made up for it. We all left happy, and the ultimate seal of approval came from my mom, who said she'd happily come back. Considering she usually hates eating out, that's probably the highest compliment a restaurant can get.

Ie. banana turon or ube pancakes, Filipino inspired burrito with longanisa. I chose the bulgogi plate and asked for no white rice and was offered fruit or salad in lieu of. Tasty bulgogi w/a small egg on top yet the portions are very modest. In the middle of my meal, I ordered one more item- the krak fries which were very garlicky. They go for the presentation with the floral and greens to jazz up the look. Hubby's dish was straight ahead- Bulgogi cheesesteak and fries. Also modest in portions. Iced decaf Americano in a plastic cup and OJ in a plastic cup. Kinda odd considering their price points. Some beverages are in mugs. This was more like a 2.75 stars rounded up to 3.

The fillings were good, but adding jalapeños felt like a questionable decision.
