Despite going past this place on the way to work the last 5 years I'd never visited. What a mistake! They are fantastic! Friendly folks running it, chill atmosphere and very tasty food. The menu is small, but well curated. We each had a different item, the hamburger sandwich, the mushroom sandwich and the kids Mac and cheese. We shared the house made potato chips and the dessert which was an outstanding chocolate brownie. All of it, delicious! We're going to make this our once a week regular eat out spot.

Some places have great food. Some places have fantastic service. And then some places have personalities that are so charming that the great food and amazing service make the experience memorable and something special. That's this place.

This place has great burgers, the burger is just delicious. The service is friendly and fast. It's an amazingly cool Looking business it's ran out of old Train freight. I definitely recommend Dad's for Burgers

took a quick half day trip to HMB today with a girlfriend, and this was our first stop for a quick but yummy lunch! we came by around 1145a on a friday morning, no line with just a few people eating outside. we couldn't decide on what to get so we got an order of their homemade potato chips and one of each sandie's and split it (which was definitely the way to go). both were solid, but the mushroom was our favorite. super succulent and juicy, which made the bottom of the sandwich a bit soggy, but that is the price to pay as with in n out burgers by the time you get to the bottom. the homemade chips were good, light and crispy, topped with what i am guessing is nutritional yeast? but nothing to write home about per se. a solid little meal before we head to the coast, our tummies were happy without feeling too full or bloated or greasy, which was what we were looking for :) 10/10 would come back and support this sweet shop again!

Despite what seems like a long line and big crowd, this is actually a good place to get a quick lunch! The menu is small and simple, so they know what they're doing, and they do it quickly. I've been talking about coming here for what seems like forever now, finally decided to swing by on a Saturday afternoon (they're only open Thursday-Sunday) to try one of their raved about burgers. Luckily I'm not the picky eater I once was, so I ordered it as it came, a must if you want to get as much flavor as possible. The burger was good, I liked that it came with pickled onions and an egg. Along with the burger we also got the mac n cheese and herb salad, we had wanted to get the homemade potato chips, but sadly they were already sold out. My mom really liked the mac n cheese, to me it was just okay. I did like the fact that it had chives and the puffed wild rice for some extra texture and flavor, but there was a flavor in the cheese that I just didn't love. The herb salad was good, not something I'd think to try, but glad I did.

Stopped by on a Saturday after finding this spot on Yelp. It had great reviews, so I decided to give it a try. There was a long line to order and quite a few people waiting for their food, but the cashier was friendly. It's a cute little spot for lunch with outdoor picnic tables, or you can grab your food to-go. We ordered the Hamburger Sandwich ($14.95), Mushroom Sandwich ($14.95), and Today's Soup--Shiitake Asparagus Rice Stew ($9). The food was fresh, and I liked that the hamburger sandwich had an egg inside. Prices are a bit high for what you get, but it's a nice place to check out and support local businesses!

Whoever's dad this is knows how to run a luncheonette because these scrumptious sandwiches are cooked in the back of an old caboose train! For lunch on our trip to Half Moon Bay, we ordered the Hamburger Sandwich and the Mushroom Sandwich. Hamburger Sandwich (4/5): Tasted like how it looks, in a good way -- a charred grassed beef patty paired with melted cheese and a runny egg sandwiched between two pieces of white bread. The Dad's sauce brings a savory and garlicky kick, while the red onions punch the acidity into your mouth. I like the fancy lettuce used too. I wasn't too impressed with the bread -- it's supposedly from a local bakery but it was comparable in quality and texture to grocery store Wonderbread! It was also not grilled enough to have enough structural integrity to withstand the wetness of the runny egg yolk, resulting in a soggy sandwich towards the end. I wish they would use an artisanal sour dough bread or something to really elevate this sandwich to the next level. Mushroom Sandwich (4/5): Basically the same sandwich as the one above, but the burger patty is swapped out with savory Maitake mushrooms, grilled for that mouthwatering Maillard reaction and maximum umami fungi flavor! They're bouncy and lustfully supple. There's lots of outdoor tables and seating to enjoy your food at. Overall, this is a worthwhile roadside spot to grab a convenient lunch if you're in Half Moon Bay!

I live in San Diego but have family up here in the bay. My niece and nephews recommended this place. I asked why is it so good, it looks like a shack and it's 45 minutes away. My nephew said "Peter, It's a burger + egg in bread!!! It's SOOOO dang good!!" I was like.... cool dude... Ya, nephew was right. This is up there with the best Burger's I've had. It beats Rocky's, Hodad's, several I've had in SF. The bread is toasted perfectly, the egg is perfectly over easy medium, the burger itself tastes like is prime or grinded in house. Whatever the case may be, this place is awesome. Highly recommend checking it out.
