The beer is good with a wide variety, but food is not as expected. The ingredients listed on the menu are not included in the dish. For example, while The Office Burger is supposed to have bacon and Maytag blue (cheese), there’s no bacon and the staff response is that the blackened, sweet onions are cooked in bacon fat. Later, the manager mentioned there were bits of bacon, which other customers also say they cannot taste in the dish. The Gruyère and blue cheese melded together have no distinct taste. The Arancini tomato sauce seemed like it was out of a jar. Enjoyed the Berbere Cauliflower. The fried chicken sandwich was the best thing on the menu, but the bar is low. Good portion of shrimp on the shrimp and grits though…One of the only redeeming qualities is that the bartenders are knowledgable about the beer and offer tastes to determine the right fit.

It was walk up to the bar service. We sat at the bar and see videos fe was excellent. They are on top of orders and made very good food and drink recommendations. It is a pub atmosphere. They couldn't tune into the local ball game unfortunately.

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.

If you're vegan don't bother unless you feel like filling up on Brussels sprouts and fries. There are several other items that are close to being vegan but since they don't allow ANY modifications, even deletions, vegans are screwed. Pretentious, anyone?

Loud and overcrowded place, would not recommend to go if you are hungry, tried Fat shrimp and burger both were mid, nothing special. Also ordered French fries which never arrived although the tables around us who came later received theirs.
Disappointment.

Nice presentation, but for me too spicy, heat overwhelms the food. Good place for beer drinkers. If you drink wine your mouth will be chard. Nice service and staff. I Was told they do not accept cash? What happened to “good for all debts public and private “? discrimination for people without a credit card. Is it that legal?

Food is tasty, the fish sandwich is amazing. Large selection of beers and they provide tasters. Only two small tv's at either end of the bar, so a good place for chatting and hanging out

Poor service. The bartender ignored me for at least 10 minutes even though it was dead. Probably won't be back.

Cool atmosphere. Came after hearing hype about the burgers. Overall, a huge letdown. My take:

The Office Burger: honestly, not very good. The caramelized onions were the best part, but it just wasn’t that good. Plus, tiny portion size

Fried chicken sandwich: cheaperc larger, and better tasting than the burger. Still not great though.

Reason for visiting: happy hour after work

Date/time of visit: Wednesday, ~6:00 PM

Parking: there's free parking in the structure and in the lot shared by other businesses. If it's full, there's street parking in the back on the street directly behind the parking lot(s); meter parking is good for 2 hrs at a time. ~$2.00 for 2 hours; meter parking ends at 8:00PM. Free after.

Party size: 8 people

Environment/ambience: loud but fun. TVs around for a few games; we sat at the bar. I got there a few minutes late but seems not too hard to find seating in the bar area; we did have to split up but near each other.

Service: was great; both the bartenders were great. Friendly and offered suggestions. Really chill peoples.

Food: had the Kolsch lager and a few fries. Everything was good.

Cost: I bought 1 round; ~7 beers and sweet potato fries. $105 with tip.

Would I go back (yes/no): 90/10

The fish sandwich was a decent size, the fries as well but everything is on the pricey side. The sandwich was $19 and the fries were another $9, already making it a $30+ meal without tax/tip or a beer. At least I split the fries but it's crazy they aren't included with the sandwiches or $4-5.
