We were in the area running errands and we thought that bar-b-que sounded good for dinner. I started Yelping places in the area but many seemed to close really early. We landed on My Father's Barbeque and I remembered hearing radio ads from the local radio station. as we pulled in the whole strip mall is under construction. Parking was easy but there's no marquee signs on the building nor addresses so we had to look for a small banner on the chain-link fence out in front of the business. We walked in and the hostess was taking a phone order and right away the Chef said WELCOME! and came over to greet us and showed us the limited menu since they and just reopened due to the construction, she told us items they had but were not on the board. The young lady thanked us for waiting and asked if she could help us. Ok many have said the customer service was bad but that was not our experience, we had very pleasant and friendly the WHOLE time we were here! We placed our order 2 dinner plates - 1- 2 meats(brisket& pulled pork) w/bacon potato salad & greens; 1-1 meat(rib tips) w/macaroni & cheese & beans. As we were waiting they offered some Texas toast, they checked on us as we were waiting and time seemed to go by. I think we waited about 20 minutes for our food to come. Everything was fresh and tasted amazing! Hot food was hot and cold food was cold. The meats were seasoned well and very tender. The macaroni & cheese was cheesy and tasted great. The greens were cooked with cabbage and smoked turkey, the beans had a slight sweetness and had some brisket pieces and the potato salad was made with red potatoes with the skin left on it. It was filled with onions, celery and bacon yummy! While there Chef Sharlamar Lane came over and introduced herself again and checked in to see how everything was tasting. We gave her our honest opinions and she appreciated us for coming in. We had the opportunity to taste the brisket chili fries......OMG y'all those were fire and the fries were still crispy even though all the veggie, chilli, chees & brisket were on top. Oh we also got some peach cobbler which was heavy on the crust, it wasn't too sweet and it tasted really good. Overall this was a really amazing meal and enough food for left overs. i love supporting our black-owed businesses and putting the $$$ back into our communities. Please go visit My Father's Barbeque in about 3 weeks when they're up and running back to normal with all the favorite food options on the menu, we'll definitely be back to get the whole experience. Food - 10 Service - 10 Ambiance - 10 Price - $$$ (you get what you pay for)

Turkey Leg Dinner

I'll start off with saying the service was trash off the rippa!!!! The young lady was nice but she knew nothing about waiting tables or taking orders, if she's new I'll give a pass but the knowing to bringing people water and bread for the table should come naturally. I'll jump into the food it was a$$$$$$$!!!! I'm sorry but coming from Texas this is not smoked meat!!!! This is steamed at most!!!! My turkey was hot on the outside ice cold in the middle, my Mac and cheese taste like a white handkerchief (had no taste) my cabbage greens had a lot of vinegar, I'm ok with a dab but it was ounces. The brisket should've been a treat but it was really fatty no flavor. The wings were decent the sauce made them edible. I would say improve on your sides and the art of smoking meat!!!! Out of the 3 dishes I'll give 1 star each. I might give them another shot just to see if they were having an off day

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!

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.

The servers, although polite, were not very friendly, quiet, not warm. The girl who brought out our food was creepy and quiet and barely spoke. Did not bring us utensils with food. My husband had to steal the utensils off the next table. The people working there don't seem happy. No music playing. The place is oddly quiet and dead, could only hear some conversations from nearby tables. Large tv playing Bob's Burgers just felt very empty and dead, no life. Almost $4 for a cup of coffee and they bring out the little mini moo creamers that have chemicals in them. I asked the server for some whole milk instead and it took forever to come. Save your money and time and just go to Eat At Joes in Redondo. That place actually has life and they know how to run a business.

What a cute and innovative restaurant! We found ourselves in the area this morning for a doctors…read moreappointment and wanted to grab some breakfast after and found the amazing little place on Yelp - so glad we did! We talked to chef Julie who is the owner and she told us that they get all their ingredients from their local farm up on the mountain! ...so it's all literally farm fresh. She did not set out to have a restaurant, but her daughter talked her into it because she wanted a place to get their favorite coffee (and it's amazing)which they could only get in Silverlake, so she opened Bites and Bashes. You can really taste the love and meticulous attention to detail in this food! From the reviews we read, the breakfast burritos and pancakes were the standouts so we decided to do a split on both. We got the Pop's Pastrami breakfast burrito ($18.95) which is delicious pastrami, organic sauerkraut, eggs, crispy tater tots, provolone, scallions, house thousand island, and the secret standout ingredient - B&B's signature chopped pickles. I've never had pickles on a breakfast burrito but believe me when I say it was an amazing add and experience. The taste of this burrito came alive in my moth like a beautiful symphony orchestra giving attention to notes that you love but didn't know they played so well together! So great!! The second item we got was not on the menu but they had it featured in a displayed at the register where you order. It was the Banana Turo Pancakes ($16.95) and they were beautifully fantastic - in flavor and presentation. They are banana pancakes with salted caramel, crispy lumpia filletine, sautéed jackfruit and plantains. These pancakes were amazing! We also got vanilla lattes ($6.50) which are made with the beans of their favorite roaster and these lattes were wonderful. 5 glowing stars all the way around!! So glad we made it to Lomita this morning!

We started off our breakfast with delicious vanilla lattes (6.95). Perfectly made & not too sweet and hot and creamy. Delish coffee with a proper coffee machine. I wish I had a whole vat of that elixir! Then we moved onto the banana caramel Turo pancakes ($16.95) and the pops pastrami breakfast burrito ($18.95). Wow. The massive 3 stack of banana pancakes are visually a work of art and are so divine in taste. They remind me of a mochi pancake in the delightful light yet spongy texture and I am one picky pancake eater. We will be taking half home. The whole thing is drizzled in a sweet caramel sauce that is so yum. They have carmelized plantains on top as well as jackfruit. Chefs kiss. Onto the burrito. It is creamy, savory and sweet due to the best homemade pickles wedged in there (b&b signature chopped pickles) and has pastrami, eggs, taters, and sauces and other yum all rolled up. This place is really inventive and flavorful! Gaby was on point and did a great job running front of house. Chef Julie came out and we had a lovely convo with her. A lot of the food comes from a family farm that is run just up the hill! Her passion for food is obvious and she was quick to credit her amazing team. I can't wait to come back and try a salad with fresh veggies and other items. All in all, a great experience!

You'll need to find street parking, but there's plenty in the nearby neighborhoods. The restaurant itself is really small too, with just a bench outside to wait on. We came on a Sunday at brunch time and it was pretty busy, but we only waited about 15 minutes before being seated. The inside is small as well. Our server was really nice. We couldn't decide what to get because everything on the menu sounded so good, so we asked for suggestions. We ended up splitting the loaded hash browns, crab cake Benedict, shrimp and grits, and cinnamon roll pancakes. It was definitely a lot of food for the three of us, but so worth it. Everything tasted amazing! Definitely would recommend this place for brunch.

It's one of those dishes that feels indulgent in the best way. The restaurant has a relaxed, casual feel, and the service was impressively fast without losing any attention to detail. Parking is definitely tight, so plan on grabbing a spot along 166th if you're trying to beat the rush. A satisfying brunch experience with comfort food done right. Miguel C.

The fillings were good, but adding jalapeños felt like a questionable decision. Overall, it tasted too saucy for my liking and I didn't even touch the chipotle sauce that came on the side. *** This is one of those passable breakfast burritos you get because it is convenient and available all day. Personally, I am sticking to places like Phanny's or Brother's Burritos for breakfast burritos in the South Bay.
