good people, reasonable prices. I go there with friends and it is a good time. We also have an annual get together each December with about 20 people and the service is great read more

Service was slow. No doubt on that. We ate through our entire meal with no visit at all from our server. My wife was considering ordering a Guinness. Kinda hard to do that when nobody visits the table. Finally, after we were done, and waited an extra ten minutes, she stopped by. She only asked if we needed boxes for our leftover food. No asking about dessert. No offer of the check. I had steak tips and chicken tenders. The tenders were absolute dry little bricks. My boys had steak and cheese. Passable, flavor-wise. Mostly bread, though. Not much in the way of steak. My wife had lobster roll. It was small, and delivered warm when she requested cold. Never, ever go again. read more

Staff here is extremely rude and nasty. Don't waste your time. There's so many better places in Worcester.

Sat at the bar on a Friday night and the front windows were open which was super nice. The service was great and quick. Food tasted delicious and was reasonably priced. Their margarita's are just $5! We started with the buffalo chicken dip, this is a great choice, it was very filling. I was too full to have my entire, the chicken hummus wrap, but I took it home and had it the next day and it was great! read more

So I was just denied service at Funky Murphy Worcester MA after I got out of work with coworkers because the a bartender (John) said he saw me reverse 3 spots into a parking spot in front of the restaurant and claims that I went up the curb when I was reversing into the parking spot. I told him that I did not go up the curb and he began arguing with me about it in front of other customers and my friends. He said I don't feel comfortable serving you alcohol and denied me service when he asked me and my friends if we was eating and drinking after seeing me park I asked him if there was a manager or owner I could talk to about him denying me service and he said there is no manager or owner and declined to provide me with any contact information or someone to talk to about the incident going forward I'm working on getting the owner information and bringing it up to his attention read more

We have been back up in MA for a month and found this great little spot, had a couple meals here, great service and conversation with Johnny a couple of times. WELP... TONIGHT... LET ME JUST TELL YOU.. I had the worst experience of my life... for the first time EVER, I left no tip. I ordered a warm lobster roll, it was rubber, I had my husband try a piece he said the tails can be tough, I said thats claw meat. I took a TINY piece out of several chunks of meat. No bite was taken out of the roll.. All rubber. I let waitress know that I didnt want it, and to take it off my bill. Then what I assume to be, the bar manager comes out and tells me all the rolls are like that, its frozen and proportioned, and that we are not on Cape Cod. I argued a point that I live in FL and have places w fresh lobster. He then told me if I want to dine at places that take meals off bills I should go to ABC (cant remember what the asshat rambeled off).. I told him I dont go to restaurants with the thought of returning meals and got the check... then I looked at the female bartender and said I'm really sorry, I have NEVER done this before, but after the conversation I just am not leaving a tip. She looked me right in the face and said "well, you did eat half of it"... are you FUCKING KIDDING ME. im not a college student looking for a free meal, I make PLENTY of money to pay for QUALITY food... if it wasn't for this experience tonight... and because Johnny had always been amazing i would give it 5 stars... Funky Murphys needs to learn how to hire better people!! read more

What could have been! On the plus side: My dining companion ordered the baked fish platter...shrimp, scallops, haddock, buttered Ritz crumbs....cooked to perfection... unfortunately the broccoli was raw, bland and cold. Mashed pot were definitely home made, but again COLD. Unfortunately after taking our orders the server went totally MIA I chose the fried fishermans platter, chunks of haddock, shrimp and scallops, fried to perfection in a light batter, served over a pile of cold, soggy NASTY fries. Again, where was the server when needed, oh yes, flirting with the young girls in the bar. Drink and meal orders were taken shortly after arrival, with our server never to be seen until after dinner was finished...water and drinks never refilled, never had an opportunity to complain about the cold sides .. After dinner was finished, server did clear the table and we asked for the check, and we sat and sat and sat ...finally another waitress came over after 20 minutes and asked if she could get us anything......some service would have been nice Come on, if the kitchen would step up their game, and the servers did their job, this could have easily been a great meal.... unfortunately as long as the bar continues to be a cash cow, the owners care little about the dining crowd. read more

Funky's staff are prepared for anything, they're professional and really nice. We really appreciate the service they all give us, and our family and friends when we visit. Shame on the ones with insulting posts, too bad you haven't taken the time to actually meet and get to know the Funkys crew. THEY'RE WONDERFUL, and their food is On Point! I recommend enjoying a nice lunch or dinner any day. Especially with the nice weather, open windows and outside seating. read more

This was my second time coming to Funky and overall I think it's a pretty good place. St. Patty's was super fun with the live music and ambiance. The bartenders are always awesome but the security guards and other people working there are kind of rude which I've experienced both times I went. We didn't get any food but our drinks were awesome and we had fun. If you're looking for a fun place to start the night or just grab a few :) read more

We were at the restaurant this past Monday afternoon for lunch. The food was pretty good and we sat in the back in the restaurant area. Ambience was so so not as exciting as the front but we were with our son who was under the age of 21. Unfortunately the waitress was a disaster very little communication it felt like they thought they were doing us a favor. I will go back, but would probably sit in the bar area to have a drink and watch a game. It's too bad cause we like the place. read more

Visited Funky Murphy's from the recommendation of a few locals for a quick spot to grab a meal and a few beers. It's located right off Shrewsberry Street and seems to be sort of a Worcester cult classic. I was really impressed with the menu, especially the daily specials. I was there on Tuesday and went for the prime rib special, which was cooked exactly to my liking, and very reasonably priced. There's a nice bar area with plenty of TVs to catch a game. Sometimes I've been there and they have a large projector screen up with the Red Sox or Bruins on. They have large retractable windows that open when the weather is nice, creating an outdoor feel to the dining experience. My one knock on the selfish man is there a draft beer selection. They have lots of macro beers, but not many local craft options. However, with that said they were still plenty of options. Overall, I would recommend this place, particularly for their daily specials if you want a quick meal, a few drinks, and a good location to catch a game. read more

Food was prepared accurately and served promptly. Service was excellent and attentively. Would definitely go back . Good atmosphere. read more

Food: the food is your typical American style appetizers, which is really good when you're drunk or high. But it's like nothing over the top. Otherwise it's average , okay portions sides. Service: the service was great. We had two people making sure that we had everything including water and drinks/food. Shout out to the server man that took our pictures as well! Ambiance: it definitely feels like your typical college bar after a certain time, but it varies on crowds depending on the day. usually after 11 that's what it gets more like a night out where people are just having a good time and drinking, Which the drinks are pretty inexpensive. I'm a bit biased as this is not my go to place to go out but most of my friends like going there and it's definitely a place for a younger crowd/for the boys. There are definitely times where the crowd can be a bit too rowdy or the security is not very nice at times, but I personally never had a bad experience. Location accommodation: they have sidestreet parking as well as a open patio windows to get some fresh air and they have a background in case you don't really want to be at the front surrounded by too many people. read more

My son and I were in there over a month ago. It was a Friday night and it wasn't busy at all. We were told to sit anywhere we wanted to. We sat at the table near the bar. However we waited close to 20 minutes for a drink. And then they took forever to give us a menu and our drinks. We had to ask for them. We figured at the time we would order our food. The waiter we had was giving us an attitude. We noticed that some of his friends came in who were there every single night and he kept going over and talking to them at the bar. Also some other customers that were sitting in the restaurant that came after us were being served and we're still waiting for our food which is now close to an hour. We weren't even asked if he wanted a drink. So I asked the waiter if our food is coming out, we ordered a cubana and fish and chips. Again he gave us an attitude and went into the kitchen and brought out our food. My son's cubana was not even cooked the right way and it was ice cold and my fish and chips looked like they've been sitting under a heat lamp forever. My son's cubana tasted spoiled and we called the waiter over and said that we were not going to eat our meal and that we were leaving. He did not try to compensate us or ask us if we wanted anything else. He just gave us a dirty look and we left and he was pissed. Well that's tough if you cannot be nice to customers and try to make sure that they are happy. So we got up and left and didn't eat anything and didn't pay for our drinks. We only had one each and it was a cheap draft beer. We decided that we were going to go there this evening and have a light bite to eat and go home. However, a fat waitress called me over to the side and told me that I am not allowed to come into the establishment anymore. I asked her why and she said because of what happened the last time you were here. I tried to explain what happened and she said I wasn't here so I don't know what's going on but I was told that you cannot come into this place anymore. They do have their favorites down there. There are a few people that go down there and drink and eat every single night and play keno and they're catered to constantly. This fat waitress and the waiter that we had that evening we're very rude and very unprofessional. He was wrong because the food was rotten and he had a terrible attitude and the food also was cold. This fat chick didn't even know what was going on and had the audacity to kick us out. Needless to say, there are much better places to eat on Shrewsbury Street and we had a fantastic meal at another restaurant. Please don't waste your time coming to the place unless you're one of their kiss ass favorite customers. I have seen people kicked out of the establishment for wearing a tank top and scrubs. This place is no big deal. It's your basic barroom that's loud and definitely not a five star place. I don't know who these people think they are, but they better get their act together. Do yourself a favor and stay away from there. read more

The food is very good and priced very reasonably. It's a sports bar, so it can get noisy. The service is spotty. Two male friends and I go in about every two weeks, mostly for their Tuesday night special. We always ask for separate checks. You HAVE to remember to ask because they never ask and if you bring it up at payment time it can be a problem. We've been told, "You should have asked when the person takes the order". We are often served by several people and don't see the original waiter. Sometimes when we ask when seated, we might be told, it depends on how busy they are. To the point of being rude at times. Separate checks should never be a "thing" in these times. There's only one young lady who can be rude about it. read more

The entrance has ridiculously huge speakers that makes it difficult to hear each other talk. The food is good but on two occasions we were seated next to two unaccompanied children (waitress's children). I'm not unsympathetic to her situation but during dinner I don't want to listed to cartoons blasting on a cell phone. This is when I want to decompress. Just saying. Just saying. read more

This bar is in my neighborhood and I've been going on and off for 10 -12 years. Solid place for drinks with any size group and a great fish and chips! I AM CERTAINLY NOT GOING BACK ANY TIME SOON THOUGH. Tonight I got turned away because I was wearing scrubs and was told "you have to be wearing Jeans to enter". I AM BEYOND MAD! I thought this was one of "my places" where I was welcome to come as I am. Apparently, my hospital attire isn't classy enough for funky murphy's sports bar anymore. It was fine for the last decade what happened? I will be running my mouth to everyone about this. I want to throw up and I haven't even had a drink. read more

Food was a C-. You can usually tell the quality of a place like this through their french fries and Funky Murphy's fries are bland and inconsistently cooked. The main meals weren't much better - could have made a better burger at home, the shepard's pie was underseasoned, etc. Service was friendly but nothing great. Atmosphere during weekend lunch was energetic but not obnoxious. read more

Order my food first out of a party of 10. Everyone got there food and i had to wait an additional 30 min for a sandwich that i ordered. The restaurant did not want to compensate for the time that it took for myself to get my sandwich. read more

Went here on a weds night for the second time in my life and you could not pay me enough money to make a return. Food was inedible, my soft tortilla wraps were HARD and falling apart, literally defeating the purpose. The ambiance was nonexistent, or maybe just overshadowed by the absolute worst service Ive ever had. I was insulted and laughed at before even sitting down at the bar by the bartenders; no word of a lie. It felt like I stepped back into a high school cafeteria.. I'm in my mid 30s and I never been made to feel so terrible or outrightly disrespected by people working in HOSPITALITY. I will never take my hard earned money into this establishment and it would behoove you to do the same. read more

The wings were alright i prefer my wings to be crispy and crunchy on the outside. I rather they fry them for a little longer. steak tips were okay a little on the chewy side the rice that it came with was alright too. The bigger MC burger was really good and i'd get it again. The drinks are definitely the best thing here. The bartender maggie is so nice and made the whole experience better. read more

The only thing this place has is the open windows for outside effect. Otherwise it's all pretty bad. Food is so-so. People/employees like to stereotype people. The 4 times I have been here at least 1 or sever people got turned away. 1. Because of a sleevless shirt. 2. Because they didn't like someone's gold Chain. 3. Because a group "looked" gangster/ghetto. 4. Because they didn't tip last visit. 5. Because someone smelled of weed entire party was declined. 6. If English is not your main language and you need help translating you will be refused service. I have seen all this first hand. I spend alot of time on Shrewsbury st. This is not the place to be. I javelin also heard other stories. Just ask around you all will know the truth. Avoid this establishment. read more

Last night I was kicked out 1 minute after I walked in ,I've been living in a different state for the past 4 years and it was my first time back into funky Murphy and right when I sat down I was told I was banned from there so I kept asking how do you guys even know me I haven't been here in a long time and Ive never been banned from here but they didn't listen so I laughed it off and said ok I was always forced to go to Funkys and I've never been one to suggest it first bc it's obv Funkys so I walked out and wasn't even mad about it because obviously I didn't even want to be there, anyways my bother and his friend stayed and asked the bouncer why I was kicked out and they told them it was because of one of the bartenders there that I used to be in a relationship with 7 + years ago I didn't even know she was there or I would of left by my self anyways moral of the story is don't go to Funkys if you had a thing with any of the staff they will kick you out even if it was 7+ years ago ,anyways I'm not even mad about it lol ps bartender name is Christ... lol but there buffalo chicken nachos are pretty good read more

I have never been to this restaurant and never intend to since my son and his fiancé were turned away because he was wearing sweatpants. Apparently there's a vague dress code after 8pm from vague management. My son and future daughter in law were part of a party of nine, seven of whom were already seated. The seven obviously left out of pure insult, of course. Good luck in Marlborough with your dopey dress code read more

The four starts is for our server he was attentive. We had a party of 12 with reservations and they basically ignored us the entire night. We got to the party 20 min late and they still hadn't taken drink orders. Food was good. Maybe they were understaffed but it wasn't a busy evening. Even when we asked for a box from 2 different people they forgot. Ibid to go to the bar and ask for one. read more

My partner and I wanted to give this place a try on 5/12/23. We show up at 5:25pm and it was crowded. Totally get it, it's a Friday. We were offered an outside seat and we took it. The waitress took our drink order and got them rather quickly. She then asked me for a card to put on tab - I assume because we were outside and they didn't want us to dine and dash. The sun was beating down on our necks. There was no shade outside in the front of the building. We sat there for about 20 minutes waiting for the waitress to come back and take our order. After a total of about 25 minutes of waiting, we went inside with our drinks and waited at the front. Multiple waitresses made eye-contact with me and never asked if we needed help. FINALLY, a waitress asked if we needed help, and I asked to pay for my partners soda so we could leave at 6:00pm. Worst service I've had since moving to Massachusetts. We took our business elsewhere for the night. read more

Great atmosphere with the windows open on the sunny day. Bartender was super nice. However whoever made the schedule for that day had it severely understaffed. I felt bad for the people working but it took about 30 minutes for us to get our order and another 45 minutes before we got our food. Because of that is why I give it three stars but will definitely go back to try the nachos bc those looked good read more
