"The Mac and Cheese Bites are absolutely wonderful. The sauce that come with it adds a lot of flavor, it's very well seasoned, delicious. Might be the best value item on the menu. The Garlic Parmesan Shrimp Mac is very nice. I don't love raw tomatoes in pasta, and I wish I could have removed them. I think cooked tomatoes would be very nice. Wish there was an option to take out the tomatoes but other than them it was absolutely delicious. Well seasoned, well cooked, very nice. The Parmesan Truffle Fries were pretty good. Maybe I got a bad batch but a majority of the fries were pretty soft and not very crunchy. The crunchy fries in the batch were some of the best I've ever had. But many of them were soft and almost soggy from the oil. But overall still tasted very nice."
"The MAC was runny, the sauce on the brisket was too harsh on every level. I could only find pickles because there was too many of them and the meat was cut into small cubes and was very sparse. This was a huge waste of mo ey"

"I love a good salad and Traditional Caesar Salad was delicious. Fresh and good size portion. The croutons are terrific."
"I ordered Burnt Ends, O.G. 'OG' Fries, Jalap Cheddar Cornbread Muffinseno & POG Mocktail. I'd like to preface by stating it's probably best to review at the restaurant when everything is fresh lol. So the burnt ends were seasoned well but dry, making it tough to chew. The serving size was good for the price and came with like an au juice type of sauce and fried onion strings (which were tasty but should definitely but eaten when freshly fried). The OG fries were good but there was too much clumped up garlic in the same spots. These are probably better to eat in-house as well but tasty. These Jalaprno cornbread muffin was amazing!! Wish I had some chili to go with it. And the POG mocktail (Passion fruit, Orange, Guava) was really refreshing. I gave it three stars because although the burnt ends were well seasoned, they were just too hard to consume and the clumps of garlic in the fries proved to be overpowering even they they tasted good, you can only eat so many unless you're a die hard garlic fan. I would try this again but directly at the restaurant to see if perhaps the food just doesn't travel well."

"I was craving OSF since I'm pregnant. I've seen recently how many restaurants I've ordered at tend to treat DoorDash orders with lowest standards. But we also go to those places in person. Simple requests are ignored such as providing silverware or napkins. I called the restaurant to ask for a side of garlic butter with my bread. It just sounded amazing. The lady I talked to was so sweet. She said she'd make sure it got in the bag. I received everything with the upmost care. Containers were clean & organized. The food tasted great. I received full portions & a heaping container of garlic butter. Everything came perfectly!"
"I ordered the hearty portion of the managers special to split with my daughter. First it was hardly a hearty portion at all and way to overpriced for noodles and sauce. It was the same portion as the regular order. The noodles were overcooked and hardly had any sauce. I had order sautéed mushrooms and they tasted like cardboard. I wish I had tasted them before adding them to my pasta because it ruined the flavor of my meal. The cheesy garlic bread was soggy because it was saturated with grease from the cheese and butter. Not a fan. The broccoli has always been my favored but unfortunately it was overcooked and didn't have that browned butter flavor. I was super bummed because I was looking forward to it the most. The salad and the pesto dressing is always great and consistent and well as their sourdough bread loaf. We also ordered a side of meatballs which were good. I for sure recommend the chocolate cake. Best thing out of our order other than the salad and bread. Overall, I'm super disappointed in the quality and for the price I had much higher expectations. Just seems like they are going down hill. Makes me sad but I won't be ordering here again. The time before I was disappointed as well but thought it was a fluke. Unfortunately nothing has changed so for that I won't be ordering from here again."

"OMG!!!!! Fabulous Cobb salad. Asked for certain extras, no charge. Boy did they deliver!! The salad that came was Hugh. Not complaining, I’ve got two dinners😁. DAD’S KITCHEN MY NEW GO TO!!! Thank you for outstanding packaging and delivery! 👏🏻👏🏻"
"Wow! It's the best burger we’ve ever had—Dad's Burger, bar none. My husband and I had our fair share of trying different dishes. We moved from the Bay Area, particularly San Francisco. So, it became our date to check reputable websites like Eater for recommendations. So, I can safely say this burger will be one of our favorites, if not the favorite. The patty's slivers of steak are visible. The steak is fresh, moist, and juicy, not salty. Also, the charcoal smell is just right. It's not overpowering. It is not greasy. I noticed the juice from the patty soaking the lettuce and making it soft. Onions are also not too much. The bun can use a slight improvement. The price is reasonable or comparable with other burgers. Then, for a change, they have a wide selection of sides. So I had tater tots with, I think, an aioli on the side. Tasted just right. Thank you, Dad’s Kitchen, for making something mundane like eating more enjoyable.."

"I have ordered several times or different sandwiches. Hands-down, my favorite one is the chicken, bacon ranch. The dessert yogurt is so good good portions got the broccoli cheddar soup. I just ordered the half sandwich and it was big enough to where I didn't eat it all. I ate half of it love the bread fresh and the ingredients in the sandwich was amazing. Love the flavor.
