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.

From the moment we walked in, it felt like we were at home with family. Uncle Darrow greets everyone like you belong there, he remembers you, makes you feel seen, and creates such a warm, welcoming atmosphere that you instantly relax. And the food? Absolutely delicious. Every bite was full of flavor and clearly made with love. I highly, highly recommend this restaurant if you want great food and an experience that feels like community. We loved it so much, we're already planning to come back next month to celebrate my birthday there!

I ordered the soft shell crab po boy with red beans and rice on the side,…read more The po boy was the star. The soft shell crab was crispy, flavorful, and packed into fresh bread that held everything together without getting soggy. Messy in the best way and exactly what you hope for when you order one. The red beans and rice were comforting and well seasoned, a perfect side to go. The place has a laid back, welcoming feel, and the staff was friendly and attentive. The owner was super friendly and very hospitable. Definitely living up to the southern hospitality. Food came out hot and fresh. Definitely a spot I'd come back to when I'm craving New Orleans style comfort food.

Eat here all the time - best shrimp boil ever. Their add-ins (corn, red potatoes) and appetizers…read moreare great, too. The thing I've discovered more recently is that ordering take away is really good, too. The broth is so rich that I can eat some and save it in the broth overnight and it reheats REALLY well - just had yesterday's lunch leftovers for lunch today and it was a dream!

Order: Shrimp Burrito, carne asada burrito, fries, calamari, chips. Garlic bread, rice, bang bang…read moresauce Pros: Reasonable prices, pleasant customer service,cleanliness was on point. The music was good and sports were available if that's your thing Cons: It took 30 minutes to receive our appetizers and at that time I was told they could not fulfill a portion of my order, I withdrew my order of rice and bang bang sauce. After 30 more minutes most of our order came out with the exception of the garlic bread. I was told that it takes a significant amount of time to make and asked if i wanted something else instead. I felt an hour for two burritos was excessive so declined adding anything else. Moments later my bread appeared. It took a full hour and some change to receive our order which I thought was unreasonable, especially since at this point we were the only patrons. Overall: Food was alright, reasonably priced, and portions were aligned with the price. However, I would recommend ordering ahead or anticipate a long wait time. When we went we were one of two patrons but it seemed they had a fair stream of take out orders. I frequent the area but do not live nearby and nothing caught my attention enough to return.

Very Disappointing Experience…read more If I could give Zero Stars (0) I would! Although this place was next to the gas station on the same lot I went ahead and decided after seeing a few positive reviews on Yelp to order from here because, there are many fast food places on the same lot of gas station, McDonald's being one which I normally only go there now if I want a medium coke once in awhile and some hot fries. So I had it delivered via DoorDash. I ordered a 3-piece white combo with one biscuit, specifically requesting a breast and two wings in the notes. I also added an additional breast, biscuit and a side of red beans and rice. When my order arrived, I received thighs instead of the requested breasts. I don't care for thighs unless I'm cooking boneless skinless for my gumbo. This food was horrible. Greasy chicken, not thoroughly cooked, the red beans and rice looked weird and the biscuits tasted like Play-Doh with sugar added - I'm sure many have tasted a little Play-Doh when you were a kid. Furthermore, when I make a specific request and ask for a refund if something is unavailable, I expect that request to be honored. Instead of breasts, they sent thighs without any communication. If breasts aren't available, refund me and remove them from the menu, especially since I paid extra for something I didn't get. To sum it up, I won't be ordering from here again, nor will I be visiting in person. I suggest others think twice before considering this place too.

This spot is inside the 76 gas station. We wanted to call to get our order done ahead of time, but…read morethe number didn't work. (FYI! Here's the new phone number after new management: 424-264-5305) Ana was super helpful. There was another guy who was also super helpful that cooked some of our food and helped us take everything to the truck. This is what we tried: -Fried chicken. Crispy. Great taste. Even crunchy the next day. 5/5 -Biscuit. Perfectly sweet. But weird crunch to it lol. 4.25/5 -Potato wedges. Thick and not enough seasoning. 2/5 -Mashed potato. 4/5 -Mac and cheese. Tastes like Popeyes Mac and cheese. 4/5 -Buffalo wings. Very wet. Literally in a pool of sauce. Big size wings though. 3/5 -Boudin bites. Interesting. But they're taking them off the menu. 4.5/5 We will be back and totally recommend!
