We found Funck's on a rainy Sunday ... we had no wait time and was seated immediately. Our server was very friendly but the meal itself took sometime to come out. Our party of 5 all enjoyed their meals - portions were a good size and food can out hit. read more

We loved our visit here. Luckily we arrived during a quiet afternoon so we were able to chat without much noise level. The restaurant is really nicely decorated. Our food choices were delicious with generous portions. Felt the food was very good value. Our server was great and able to split the bill for our group of 6. read more

We brought our daughter here, visiting from the military in Okinawa....we had an awesome experience once again! We all had the harvest salad, hubby had it with brisket, me with salmon and Megan with chicken....very good and had plenty! Beer was cold and delicious, Megan had a flight and well with the price! She also got their chocolate chip cookie warmed with ice cream and she loved it!Atmosphere nice, place always clean....looking forward to visiting again soon. We are retired so we have to watch $$$$ but, it is well worth the trip! Eat local my friends! read more

This was our second visit to Funck's Restaurant in two days. It met every expectation that this really big group had. We appreciated that we were able to sit together within minutes. Not many restaurants will attempt to seat a big group without reservations. The food, every single plate was fresh, flavorful, crispy and tasty. My order today was a very juicy Smash Burger with sautéed onions, tomatoes and lettuce We played a Trivia game and failed spectacularly. We'll be back next year! read more

Atmosphere is fantastic - I highly recommend the outdoor patio! The food is good and the staff is very welcoming and prompt. read more

It's a solid choice. Nice decor, large parking lot, decent service. Good and varied menu including a nice beer menu. They had quite a few specials, including a Harvest Salad, which is what I had. I added chicken, which was a nice boneless breast, an ample portion. This company has other restaurants in the area. Been a while since was at the other places, but I did enjoy them. read more

Fantastic! Josh at the bar, you are AWESOME! We had lobster taco, big kahuna burger, & chicken wrap. Everything is sooo delicious. Cooked to perfection & filling. The vibe is super relaxed. There was music outside but we opted for inside to stay cool. Clean bathroom. Handicap accessible. Enjoy, my friends! read more

Very cool and trendy spot, loved the design work in here. Delicious food and fun atmosphere. The outdoor igloos also looked enticing. Would love to come again during warmer weather to enjoy the patio read more

Food here was pretty good! I got the seafood tacos, french onion soup, and sweet potato fries. The service speed was fine, but our waiter did forget to bring the fries and he promised to take them off the receipt... and then forgot to do that too. I also had requested the tacos without arugula due to an allergy and they came WITH arugula and had to be sent back. The server was apologetic and seemed to be the only waiter serving all the tables in the back. The ambiance of this place is awesome. Every area has its own vibe and i would've loved to dine outside on a cooler day. The indoor area has garage door walls that can be rolled up to connect it to the outside seating. One issue is... there were some persistent flies that kept coming for our food perhaps a citronella candle is in order read more

Ambiance was the main reason for the stars. It was well appointed and nicely decorated. Service was good. The waitress was attentive but I think she was the only one working there. Seating was terrible. We were a family of 4 and they sat us in booth next to two large loud groups when there were plenty of other spots to put us. There were kids running around at the other table and shrieking the whole time. Food was ok. Nashville hot chicken was good but the brisket sandwich was dry as Heck. They must have left something off of it. The bbq ribs were Not actual ribs. They were rib tips. Very dry as well. read more

I was SO looking forward to Funk's, after reading all the amazing reviews. Today, the restaurant was super quiet and the igloo seating was previously booked. Darn! With the snow on the trees, this would have been such a picturesque dining experience. Glancing at the menu, so many wonderful choices. I started with an app of french onion soup and the hubby ordered, crab rangoon eggrolls. This rendition of french onion soup, was one of the worst, I've ever tasted. Absence of onion caramelization, lacking rich, toothsome beef broth, overtaken by a dousing of sherry and overly salted. Goodness, no. Crab rangoon eggrolls, crisp shell, hot, oozy cream cheese filling, a slight essence of crab, indiscernable in sight and texture, another disappointment. Ordered their "special" salad: bacon, blue cheese, candied walnuts, apple slices, greens - decent, fresh, but by now, I'm not happy and where is my waiter? Ugh! I don't understand, this restaurant is nearly empty and my husband has been waiting for a refill on his drink, for nearly 15 minutes. During the tail end of our stay, he appeared in being a bit more attentive. Why, why did I order dessert; because it's chocolate cake with peanutbutter frosting, duh! I shoulda known it, not Not homemade. I don't mean to be bitter, but the cake looked and tasted like Weis grocery store cake. read more

Made it in time for happy hour, and boy - those apps were good. There was something for everyone in our four person group. I really enjoyed the fish and chips I got. I was moved to get the sneaky tiki (drink) specifically so I could take the cup (which Funck's says you can do). So, great marketing there. Zachary was a wonderful server and answered all our questions well. read more

My husband and I came here for our anniversary. What a fun experience! We had great service, food, drinks and the atmosphere was very cool. We dined in an igloo, that we reserved for $25, well worth it. I had cheese steak egg rolls, they were yummy! read more

Really good food selection, attentive staff, all boxes checked. Food was very good! I was not expecting much from a pub type place -- my expectations were exceeded. Our server was always checking in with us to see if we needed anything, and he was serving the entire area we were in. He was very efficient. Our group of 6 left feeling very satisfied and happy. read more

I dig this chefs specialties menu beyond the main menu. This modern expansion and interior design is a surprising change for the greater Lancaster region. Large spaces, plenty of room. I hung out and ate at the outer area with great bartender service. read more

We loved the decor when walking in, the place is huge and got sat in the back bar area, it was a gorgeous day and they had the doors open. Our little one was hangry so we ordered her mac&cheese and asparagus right away. The beer menu is crazy they have a lot on tap my husband asked for a Hazy IPA and our server recommended something he really loved. We got the Reuben Egg-rolls which were a special for St Patrick's Day and they were so delicious! I got the French onion soup that was really yummy and hit the spot. My husband got the fish and chips which he enjoyed & had to take half home. The best part was our server Jim he was amazing. Very nice, friendly and gave us great recommendations. It was our little girls bday and he also got her some ice cream with a candle and she loved it! Thanks for making a simple lunch such a great time, we will def make the trip to come back after such a great experience. read more

We had such a wonderful experience here for lunch. This property is huge: large bar, lots of indoor seating, a sunroom area and a very nice patio. The ambiance was very neutral, but in a good way. They had potted plants and hanging baskets that made you feel like staying for a while. Our server was very friendly and prompt with all our items. The beer selection is excellent! My burger was SO tasty and cooked a perfect medium rare. The grilled cheese my 5-year old got was gorgeously golden and on very nice, thick bread. My 2-year old got chicken nuggets and sweet potato fries. The nuggets were actual white meat pieces, fried nicely and looked homemade. We will definitely be back next time we are in the area. read more

We went here in a recent trip to Lancaster PA. Food was amazing. Service was good. Beautiful decor and very clean. There was no wait, so we didn't notice the games in the lobby but stopped to play a round of "Shut the Door" on the way out. We would absolutely go back on our next trip. read more

We decided to try this place and i am glad we did. We had dinner in the igloo and it was really nice and warm. The outdoor area was nice with Christmas lights. The food was great and the service was excellent as well. We will be back again soon. read more

I've been to Funck's more than most since it's kid friendly and so close to home. I've had just about everything on the menu, most of the drinks, and quite a few of the beers. The beer selection is fantastic and is a rock solid 5 stars The atmosphere an ambiance of the restaurant is very good. 5 stars. The food, however, is definitely the weak spot at Funcks. It's not that anything is bad, but it's clear that in an effort to streamline the kitchen and keep food costs in line there's been a few too many corners cut. I'd love to see you guys drop a few menu items and do a few more things properly and actually in house. Why don't you cut your own fries if you're going to upcharge for them? What's up with the pre-boiled eggs and pre-shredded cheese on the salads? The 'brisket' that you offer isn't smoked and is miles behind a chain like Mission BBQ. If you're going to feature tacos you need to at least warm the tortillas if you're not going to make your own. For a place that has so many things right, I can't understand why you'd decide to cut such an important corner. Bring some life to the kitchen and put some real cooking on the plate. 4 stars, barely. read more

We had lunch at Funcks yesterday. Our waiter Nicholas was very helpful and knowledgeable with a great attitude. The Fish and Chips were very good. Real fillet no fish sticks here. The Smash Burger with chips was very good. The Brisket sandwich was excellent. The Tomato Bisque with a side salad was very good. We found Funcks to be quite a pleasant surprise. Several options for dining that include an outdoor patio with igloos to accommodate parties of 6 to 8. Great atmosphere, every staff member we spoke with was exceptionally pleasant. Already making plans to go back. If you're looking for a fun place for lunch or dinner, try Funcks; be surprised. read more

We've been here a couple of times, the service is always great. They have a really great team here. The food is pretty good and the ambiance is always great. I love sitting outside and enjoying the living music. They treat you well here no matter who you are and the demographic of patrons varies from young to older. Funks is unassuming from the road but when you get inside it's all vibes. read more

I just want a cold beer :( I've been here so many times and more often than not I'm served a room temperature beer. I know not all beers are meant to be served ice cold, but the ones I'm ordering should be. Serving beer at the wrong temp ruins the flavor and the experience! read more

Had a 530 reservation but arrived before 5. Welcomed enthusiastically and seated right away. Nice surprise was happy hour throughout restaurant. We each had a glass of wine and shared the Brussels sprouts appetizer. Perfectly roasted and seasoned. The honey was a surprising touch. I loved the tomato bisque and my husband enjoyed the brisket sandwich. Fantastic service by Charlie. read more

We absolutely LOVE coming here, and a big part of that is thanks to Busy! Every time we dine, they go above and beyond--attentive without being overbearing, always friendly, and somehow remembers our favorite orders and little details that make us feel like regulars. It's rare to find someone who genuinely enjoys what they do, but with Busy, you can tell. They bring great energy, make the experience seamless, and are a huge reason why we keep coming back. Truly a gem of this place! read more

Great friendly service so welcoming food was awesome and beer was cold. Rueben sandwich tender corn beef and thick bread freak dressing

06.02.23 First time here. Food and service was good. Atmosphere was typical. Obviously not a place for a romantic dinner or to propose. I guess it's ideal if you want to break up, or sign divorce papers. I guess what I'm trying to say is, Funcks in my opinion is above average but not over the top. My minuses were, the thick metal tables and chairs. If they were bolted to the floor it would have a prison feel. And though the place wasn't packed with people, the music was kinda loud. read more

This building has changed hands since the 80's quite often. I remember when it was Leola Family Restaurant in the early 90's. Funck's has seem to give it a little boost in terms of menu and decor. They are trying. I enjoyed the meal and I love the new outdoor seating area. read more

Best impossible burger in town!! Wish we had a restaurant that had an expanded plant based menu, but this will do for now. They have a great selection of drinks as well - plus a great bartender that is exceptionally skilled!! Seating inside and out -- outside seating in heated igloos!! Fun times!! read more

I always give restaurants a chance to respond but it appears that they only respond to positive reviews. Went there on a trip about 4 weeks ago and it was just a bad experience. Not because the food was bad but because the service and the server were terrible. Not even going into detail as it does not matter because it appears recently that unless you positively respond your review will not be given the time of day. For the money they charge and the lack of enthusiasm from the server and the amount of time it actually took to get the food, then you can def do better and spend less. Limited menu, high prices, very unfriendly and no personality servers who lack the ability to get your order correct, and takes forever on slow nights to get your food. As I doubt anyone will get back to me from the restaurant it just easier to go elsewhere and they are not getting another chance. read more

Last night, my husband and friends decided to try this place out as we've heard really good things about it. There's a ton of parking and the building itself is beautiful. It's huge with lots of different areas to sit, I noticed at least two bars. We made reservations and were sat by the hostess promptly. We reserved an igloo, which was hands down one of the coolest experiences ever. They had heaters in them, but one of ours wasn't working. However, it remained warm and we enjoyed our time there. Our server was SO nice and very helpful as we've never been there before. She was quick and attentive to our needs. We started with drinks and they had a great selection to choose from. I ordered the sangria flight and WOW! My only dilemma was that they could have used some ice but otherwise I loved this concept. My husband enjoyed his old fashioned and our friends enjoyed their drinks as well. We started with the chicken nachos, pierogies, and the pretzel braid. The pretzel braid was good and the beer cheese was excellent. The pierogies were cooked perfectly and had a ton of flavor. The chicken nachos were some of the best I've ever had. I enjoyed that the sauces were on the side so nothing became mushy. I ordered the chicken tacos with a side of sweet potato fries. The tacos were SO good! I thought they had just a little zing to them. My husband enjoyed his Korean brisket bowl which was a special. All the food was served hot and had excellent flavor. Overall, I really enjoyed it here. I thought the food and service was excellent. I'm definitely excited to come back and highly recommend. read more

Food and atmosphere are amazing. I highly recommend, desserts and brisket were great

I was in the mood for some comfort food, I was there for the weekend, and my wife and I were fighting colds. I ordered fried chicken with mashed potatoes and gravy, my wife salad with chicken strips. It was delivered by door dash and you never know what to expect. But it was hot not dried out, crispy and delicious. Wife's salad was fresh crispy and the chicken uniquely flavored. I understand it's a popular place and next time we'll go there in person. read more

The restaurant has a killer vibe. Definitely a great spot to grab a drink as the beer list is very extensive. I really liked the outdoor personal igloos for dining. The food was ok. The Mac and cheese had a good creaminess to it. The chicken was just a slab of breast. The burger was ok, the bottom bun was soggy and the patty was a little dense. Kids pizza was pretty standard. Food is good for the price. read more
