The baron of new-style cheeseburger : beef cooked exceptionally rare, onions cooked down to the sweetness of maple syrup , Gruyere and Maytag, smoky bacon , arugula and a tomato compote, on a French roll Read more

Alexa Whiteside

So Foursquare has this as only the second best burger in LA . I gotta say, after sampling fifteen joints so far, the Office Burger is the #1 BEST Burger in Los Angeles. Great beer selection as well .

Whitney Y.

I get the Office Burger every time. SO GOOD! Remember no subs . The frites are amazing as well , and they an extensive list of beers on tap ! Gets crowded though, so be prepared to squat for a table...

Ron

One of the best beer lists in LA to go with a great burger .

Edlin Choi

Awesomely awesome burger . Tough to find a table but it's definitely worth it. Get sweet potato fries , a side, and wash it all down with a beer from their big selection. (4 of 4 petals via Fondu) Read more

The Office Burger - definitely a must-try. The patty was perfectly cooked and the cheese and caramelized onions balanced themselves well ! They have excellent fries , thinly cut and not too greasy.

Vivian Vo

The burger is delicious. However it's order at the bar and find whatever seating is available. They do help you find seats though...

Chrysanthe Tenentes

people love the burger here. I love the french fries served in tiny shopping baskets. they won't give you ketchup but you just have to go with it. great craft beer on tap .

Car Parts

Expect a bit more but these are amazing tasting. Good beer selection . It’s not worth the hassle though. Only go on off peak days and times. Like Sunday night.

DxbM

Great burger and mean fries but house rules quite anal. They can't change ingredients or add them and they don't entertain sauce requests even if only on the size

D.j. Lloyd

Anything and Everything.. If u can't eat pork stay away. They pretty much cook everything in pork and they don't make edits to the menu.. But if u like all things beers and burgers , this is your spot

Pocket Sun

Good duck salad ! Sweet potato fries were good but not amazing. Native foods cafe does it better with chipotle sauce ! FCFS seating, little service, order at the bar .

Ron

The burger is deservedly most popular but don't forgot the board specials. Knowledgable staff will steer you through the beer/wine menu.

Alex Still

Good selection of local craft beer and friendly bartender . They don't allow changes to the burger , which is too bad because there's so much crap on it you can hardly taste the beef .

Jon Ferrara

The burgers are great but the other food is fantastic. Next time share a burger and fries and try anything else on the menu like a salad .

Janet H

The burger !! You don't need ketchup . And the sweet potato fries comes with a yummy dip

Buford Barnes

One of the best burgers and beer selections in LA, with each beer served in its correct glass. But save your pennies! A burger and beer will be at least $30. Also, food can't be customized.

Voice Places

Our members agree, "If you are visiting Santa Monica, you must visit Father's Office. Great gourmet burger . No ketchup allowed!" and "the sweet potato fries are as good as they are popular." Read more

Rod Findley

old speckled hen. if Sang tries to ply you with some fancy home-fermented sour brew from northern cal, politely defer. obviously the burger is the best

Melissa Rogers

With caramelized onions , bacon , gruyère , maytag blue, and arugula , the "Office Burger " is known to be one of LA's best burgers !

Bianca

The burger and fries are perfect. They did invent a new burger , so expect to be surprised.

Melanie Collins

Don't say to the bartender , "OMG I've heard SOOO much about your burger ...!" and expect a surprised look. They hear that crap all day long. Just order it and move on. It's good and they know it.

Amanda Tomaszewski

Absolutely no substitutions. Glass-bottle Mexican Cokes . Tons of beers on tap . No one under 21 allowed in. Delicious food. Steak was wonderful.

Untappd

Burgers and Beer , how can you go wrong? This place will definitely let your pallet run wild with the numerous taps and amazing burgers .

John Cassillo

Small but endearing, they have the best burger in LA and one of the best beer selections too.

Thai Liu

This is an amazing burger and beer joint . I believe their burgers have been dubbed "crack burgers " because you just can't get enough. There beer selection on tap is also outstanding! LOVE THIS PLACE

Juston Payne

While everyone works themselves into a tizzy over In-N-Out, go here to get a seriously delicious burger . Great beer selection , too.

Elizabeth Mitchell

Amazing food and incredible brews. Sassy staff and a great crowd. First stop when I'm out in LA. Eat all of the things

Jeremy Krantz

You must order their Office burger , it's legendary. Also pair it with a Russian River Pliny the Elder.

Jean-Michel Hoffman

Great beer selection . Head in on an off night to not get swarmed or go there for some early fun on a Friday.

Ron

A great burger and a very good selection of craft beers .

Stephen Koontz

Give yourself ample time, there is always a line and the window for an open table is smaller than the time between Samuel L Jackson movies .

Mike Moss

Fantastic beer selection , and one of the best burgers you'll ever eat.

Ben Tepfer

This place is a beer lover's heaven! More draft options than you will know what to do with! Get there sober so you can try lots of different types!

Rem Koning

The "burger " is fantastic, meaty and full of umami flavors. Wide range of beers .

Ron

Best burger and beer list on the Westside.

Grex Hochmuth

Don't leave without a getting burger . Better yet: Split the burger with a pal so you can have more of all their other amazing food.

Raj S.

Been almost 8 years since I've been here, and it's still just as good as ever. Great beer . Great burger . I hope it never goes away.

John Tashjian

My father's office had a dry erase board, coat hooks, and a picture of Muhammed Ali on the wall. This one has 37 beer taps.

Daniel Markham

Great selection of craft beer and a delicious — and legendary — hamburger

Jacquie Lenick

The burgers were so fresh and I loved the remoulade sauce for the fries !

Ryan Budke

The bartender Ed took care of us all night. Even when we were behind other customers. GREAT bar , great service. Definitely coming back because this feels like "my" neighborhood place .

Despite one too many rules, Sang Yoon's burger joint is straight-up killer, and serves a vast selection of craft beers . [Eater 38 Member] Read more

Excellent food and extensive beer menu ! Note: you cannot modify any menu items, so if you like everything "your way", don't bother eating here.

Ayan Kar

Excellent low-key atmosphere. Perfect for a relaxed end to a night.

Mike Dillin

Burger is awesome. .. bring your own ketchup because they don't have any!

Stefanie S

Limited seating do head in before the rush. The bartenders are awesome, ask them for their beer recommendations, it's always delicious!
