This is a quirky neighborhood spot with excellent food and a good beer list. Beer aficionados will find some unusual offerings here, and the bar tender had an almost encyclopedic knowledge of what they had on offer. I feel I know a lot about beer, but I learned a few new things here. The burger was excellent, if slightly underdone to my medium specification. I went for lunch, and the place was full of ‘Norms’… ha. Still, I felt welcome and so will you… unless you ask for ketchup. Never ask for ketchup here! (Same as the original burger place, Louis’ Lunch in New Haven). I wish I would have had room for the Bratwurst as well. It looked good.

Finally checked out Father’s Office in Santa Monica—one of the burger joints on my LA bucket list—and I absolutely loved it. The vibe is low-key and cozy, with a laid-back atmosphere and a great selection of beers on tap.
But the real star? The burger. One of the best I’ve had—simple, flavorful, and just perfectly done. Definitely a spot I’ll keep coming back to. 100% recommend if you’re into elevated comfort food in a chill setting.

Casual dining, Exceptional Quality!
Great spot for a date or happy hour. Father’s office ambiance is intimate, you order all your food drinks at the side of the bar and choose an open table. They have both outdoor and indoor seating.
The food is absolutely incredible, not what you’d expect from a ‘bar’ and there’s a wide variety of beer options on tap. We ordered the shrimp appetizer, sweet potatoes fries, the Fathers office burger and lamb skewers. Nothing disappointed.
It’s nice to take a little walk down Montana after your food, so the location is also nice as well. My lady and I have been a few separate times and we always remember Danny who provides great service with a smile!
Would highly recommend Father’s Office.

Was In town for a work trip and someone from the hotel recommended fathers office. Ended up being the best food place of the week! The small plates were phenomenal, we got the salt and vinegar tater totes which were so surprisingly delicious, the goat cheese peppers, and the mushrooms – soooo good! For mains we got the fathers office burger which also very well done, and shared the cauliflower plate which was the only plate we weren’t over the moon about. The ipas and beer assortment were extensive and we were all very happy with the different beers we tried! Recommend the tropical IPA

Father’s Office in Santa Monica feels like a masterclass from someone who’s seen the world, cut the fluff, and come home to serve only what matters.
You walk in and the room has that quiet confidence of a place built by people who believe in standards, not suggestions. The Office Burger lands like a sermon dry aged beef, blue cheese, sweet onions, arugula all working together with the kind of bold harmony that makes you wonder why anyone ever asked for ketchup in the first place.
The staff moves with the precision of people who care, not because it’s cute but because details are the difference between forgettable and unforgettable. There’s humor in the attitude too a kind of “we’re protecting you from your own bad taste” wink that somehow makes you trust them more. It’s smart, it’s flavorful, it’s unapologetically itself, and walking out you feel like you just tasted something honest in a world that keeps trying to sell you shortcuts.

Wow! So far this is one of the best places I’ve been traveling to have a beer! The selection on tap was awesome! The servers were amazing helping me choose a beer (s). Oh and the Manager running these stores took the time to talk with me as well as advice on the beer and . The menu/food I had a hard decision on with such an amazing selection of bar? food, but this was not bar food, it was the best bar food! They touted the best burger, which I almost did and would have been amazing but instead I went with the “if anyone puts this one on the menu it’s going to be good” and went with the Grilled Artichoke 😉 OMG it was fawesome! I could eat all my veggies that way forever! Oh all while I I listened to Earth Wind and Fire … ENOUGH SAID

Not that many places leave you craving a bite consistently for over 20 years. We’re blessed in Santa Monica to have a place on Montana Ave offering fine dining type dishes at bar food prices. Say what you want about the burger, but you’re still talking about it. Smart thing to do is to try for yourself and form your own opinion. I can eat the tater tots daily and sometimes do. I appreciate that there are seasonal dishes and the attention paid to plating. Obviously no one will impress you more with their beer selection and the bartenders are some of the most knowledgeable in town. Never change FO.

Okay. So, with reading all these great reviews, I decided to try this place out. Coming in, I was sort of disappointed with the interior. But, it was okay. It’s 21+ so they check your I.D right when you come in. We ordered the burgers w/ frites (fries) aaaaaaaaand it was meh. It wasn’t exceptionally great. They also don’t have ketchup. Which is something I personally don’t mind, but two people next to us asked for ketchup while we were there, and when they were told that they don’t have ketchup… they were very disappointed. They also made the comments that not having ketchup is quite snobby. So, yeah. The place was alright. Would I come back? No.

The greatest bar on Montana avenue without any doubts. Decent variety of drafts, unique seltzers, and, the most interesting part is food, that isn’t typical for the bar: we rarely our lamb skewers and pork belly as 20/10! Bravo to the chef!
