I had the mushroom burger. I'm a beef person, but thought I'd give it a try since it's one of their specialties. I really liked it and was pleasantly surprised. I still prefer a beef hamburger, but would have this mushroom burger again if looking for something different. The homemade chips were also a winner and very good soup as well. I liked all of it.

If you are ever near you need to stop. Hands down the best food. Burger did not disappoint and macaroni was the bomb. I definitely will return next time I'm in California.

We really enjoyed our lunch at Dad’s Luncheonette! The food is “classic California” the vibe is surfer, and the seating situation is precarious at best lol. I came here with my wife about a year ago on a Saturday and it was mayhem ordering/getting a table. But today we came on a Friday at 1pm and it was glorious. Got the happy meal which I split with my wife, and was very glad we did so. I would not sleep on the mushroom sandwich, I feel it is not only delicious but unique, using a wood ear style mushroom. The bread was great, quite buttery. And the sides hit the spot as well. Most people might gravitate towards the Mac n cheese, which was very tasty, but honestly I felt the herb salad brought the right amount of freshness and zing the meal needed.

Overall a great experience and would highly recommend to anyone in the area! The staff is extremely friendly as well

We waited about 15 minutes before being seated. Ordered the burger, salad, soup, and dessert. The salad was quite herby and a bit hard to chew, and the burger was just okay. The place itself is cute, with a big parking lot, but the menu is quite limited. The service, however, is very warm and enthusiastic — the staff are kind and even chat with customers while they wait for their orders. Overall, it’s not really a spot I’d go out of my way to visit.

4.3/5 for the hamburger sandwich. It was kinda pricey but taste wise it was really good. Definitely come here if you’re in the half moon bay area. The taste reminded me of beeps burger but a little but better and lighter. My photos dont do justice here lol

We stopped due to reading reviews of how awesome this place was. Wish the menu would have been larger as we had to settle on the burger(wife and I aren’t eating a mushroom sandwich). Homemade chips were good but nothing spectacular. Mac and cheese was unique and the crunchy rice added a great twist but the mac could definitely use more bold, flavorful cheese. Bees all outside in the waiting/ eating area so we decided to eat in the car.

Truly a Gem 💎. The burger with a side of mushrooms were out of this world and the herb salad was soooooo good 😊.

very disappointed by the mushroom sandwich. The bread was so soggy that it basically fell apart. Also the flavor was plain (possibly because the soggy bread overpowered everything else?)

Ordered the hamburger sandwich. Patty was very well done and dry. Did not taste cooked to order. Did not taste much of anything else. One thin leaf of lettuce. Cheese had no taste.
