Went on a Saturday evening (July), sat outside. When we arrived, there were about 8 hosts/waiters/waitresses all standing around the station staring at the patrons as they came. This was the case inside as well with another group on staff. What an awkward situation! It was like social hour for all of the workers that evening. Then there was this guy wearing a t-shirt (I'm assuming the manager) who kept coming out and joining in the socializing while maybe 1 or 2 waitresses did all of the work. It was very strange to see. I heard one of the older waiters say " I've been here since 9am and I've only had two tables." He looked very angry the whole night. When we were first seated by a host who was finally pulled away from the good conversation that was going on, he failed to give us a beer menu. We were like, I thought there was over 100 beers to choose from? Finally our waitress corrected this error and gave us the extensive beer menu. Anyway, the beers were great but the food was just okay. The Bourbon Bacon Burger was below par and served on a thin bun, one you would buy at the grocery store. My wife ordered the fish tacos and they tasted great. BTW, they up charge you $0.99 to go from chips to fries. Seriously?!? Our appetizer, the corn and crab fritters, was the best. Our waitress Amanda was great, very attentive, and was working hard to make sure her tables were taken care of. She would always come back to check on us. She might have been the only staff member who took their job seriously that night. In conclusion, the 8-10 people just standing around should try to look busy. Hosts should always hand out the beer menu because this is probably the only reason you will want to dine here. These things are a sign of poor management. read more

I'm am blown away at the beer selection here. The three walls of taps can be intimidating but there is a beer to fit every taste there. Good Happy Hour specials and very friendly service. The burgers and bar fare are very good and are served quickly and to order. But between the beer, the burgers and dessert, I have to say that dessert is the best. The Coconut Cake is a must try. read more

I thought this was a fantastic restaurant with a great menu and an even better mini gift shop! Leading up to Hershey, the billboard on the highway really caught my eye and it was my friend and I's first meal in the area. I wish we had eaten in, but we actually just got one take-out meal to split because we were super tired from our drive, and debating changing hotels (see my review on the gawd awful Cocoa Inn). We got a turkey with filling that came with delicious mashed potatoes and eggplant. It was hard to decide what to get! Great menu! The man that waited on us was super nice. It had such a great atmosphere; friendly and welcoming. I purchased some postcards in the gift shop area. They had some cute Hershey Kisses jewelry and I planned to come back, but never got a chance. The prices were great. We devoured our meal when we got back to the hotel. Delicious food and charming service. If we had stayed longer in the area then I know we would have returned! read more

Pros - a large selection of beers on tap. nice layout. tv's. comfortable booths. Cons - bland and unseasoned food. I ordered a bbq smokehouse burger on a pretzel bun, the burger was cooked to order but really didn't have much flavor. The fries had no seasoning, no salt, no pepper and were cold. My wife got the fried chicken and it didn't really taste like much. The best part of her meal was the corn nuggets as a side. Waitress lacked any sort of personality, and the food took unusually long to get, even since we were before any dinner rush. Being season ticket holders at the nearby Hershey Bears, we're always looking for new places to eat in the area. But we won't be back to Funck's. read more

Very large restaurant with great parking. Nice bar area with a huge variety of beer on tap. Food was very good & prices reasonable. Nice variety of home cooking. The fried chicken was fabulous!!! Desserts were just as great!!! Our waitress was also nice. We had a good time. We will return soon!!! I give it a solid "B" !!! I would recommend this place to anyone!!!!! read more

Funck's Restaurant - Palmyra - Chocolate baked cookie with ice cream!! Yummmm!!! - New American Near Me - Palmyra, Pennsylvania

Got sat at a dirty table, waited forever for good beer and bad fries and got dirty plates. Staff seems great, management is suspect. I understand things are tough right now but cleaning is a fundamental function of every restaurant staff since forever. read more

This place is so great because it has fantastic waiters and great food and it is a great place to hang out and eat delicious food while you watch tv I recommend Funcks restaurant read more

This is the third time I've dined at this physical location - twice being when it was two different restaurants and once (so far) as Funck's. The redo is something they should be proud of. Large, expansive spaces, modern and trendy décor. Very nice. The space consists of several different dining spaces & multiple bars and is huge! So huge in fact that I expected a wait, after seeing a packed parking lot, only to see a handful of people inside due to the large interior. Clearly this restaurant can hold a lot of people. I've heard nothing but good things since this became Funck's and was excited to try it out. I was not disappointed with my meal. I ordered a pretzel sandwich which consisted of bacon, turkey, and a special sauce which I immediated asked for more of. My presentation was perfect, as was the sandwich, large and flavorful. No complaints other than the homemade chips (dark and overly cooked) were a total waste of a side. My husband on the other hand ordered a burger and when it sat next to my meal was totally lackluster. I could see the disappointment in his eyes immediately and knew he regretted his selection. It was like the two different plates came from two different establishments there was that much of a difference. While my sandwich looked upscale, his looked more like it came off the menu from McDonalds. Taste-wise he was equally unimpressed. I was surprised as well that such little thought went into their burgers. The small addition of even a different bun could have done wonders. As would a special sauce and better presentation. Service was spot on. Prices were a little high for some things, and low for others. We were presented with a coupon that ran weekdays from 6-11:30 and when we inquired about such an early redemption time were told they also serve breakfast. Unfortunately because we work we will never be able to take advantage of the generous $10 savings. While waiting for our meals we did have a chance to look around. Although everything was new the floor was definitely in need of a good vacuuming as well as quicker cleaning off of the tables. Several unoccupied tables that needed cleared upon arrival remained that way throughout our meal. We dined at 1pm on a rainy Saturday. Although off the beaten path for us, we would definitely come back when in the area although next time the burger is out. read more

Well stocked bar with many beers on tap. Diverse food menu that apparently specializes in Southern style fried chicken and other comfort foods. Not a diner, but not a bar. Interesting concept. Perfect place for the locals out in the countryside. Service: I was in the area, and stopped in to see their lunch and daily specials. I said I was going to make a to go order and asked if there were was a lunch menu or specials. I was handed a menu and she left to take care if other patrons. I waited about 8 mins for her to finally take my order. I saw a Monday special of a burger, pickle and fries for $6.99. Not bad I thought. When I made the order, the hostess said it was for dine in only. No where on the menu did it specify that! So I ended up paying $9.99 for a burger and there was a $1.00 up charge for fries. I wasn't happy. Food: The burger was tasty, and crafted nicely, though the bun was soggy by the time I got to my destination. I noticed on other dine in reviews, soggy buns were not uncommon. I ordered the mushroom swiss burger and it had thinly sliced raw red onions, portobella mushrooms, tomato and a pickle spear on the side. The fries were average, and not worth the up charge. My meal would have been WELL WORTH $6.99. It's overpriced at $11.00, no drink, slow take out service and misleading specials. I almost felt like they were discouraging me from eating there. Overall: If you are in the area (and there isn't too much in Palmyra) and want a nice atmosphere that is not quite bar, not quite diner, clean, with nice updates, this is a good option. Personally, I would drive to hershey for what was paid. I would give this place another Chance since they do have a vast menu and tap selection. read more

First of all, if I could leave a review for just the drinks it would be higher stars. The beer is excellent, 115 different types on tap. The inside is very nice; industrial modern. They have a very nice outdoor area as well. The sad part, the food. 9.99 for 10 wings is pretty steep. $1 a wing for tiny dried out wings... I ordered fries on the side, they were so hard, I could hardly bite into them. My take: if you just want beer and a nice atmosphere, and a good outdoor spot, here's your place! But if you also want good food, like me, it's a no go. read more

Funck's Restaurant - Palmyra - Beer sampler, 4 for $7, not too bad. - New American Near Me - Palmyra, Pennsylvania

My opinion of the food hasn't changed since my last visit in June. I ordered the corn and crab fritters which were good. As an entree I ordered the La Regina flatbread. It was disappointing as I was expecting a flatbread dish that turned out to be more like sliced pizza wedges. I did not enjoy it, so I ordered a turkey and cranberry wrap. It was bland and almost tasteless. The wait staff was very friendly and the food was delivered promptly. However, they need to improve their food quality. I do not plan on returning anytime soon. read more

This kind of reminds me of a family-owned Cracker Barrel. Good old country cookin' that I'm sure is terrible for me but tastes kind of like home. Decor: unremarkable Food: I have been twice - once with my fam and once with my boyfriend and both times it was great. I've had the pork chop and roast turkey. Also shared a cherry/cheesecake/pie thingie that was fantastic! Although, they have limited vegetarian options if that's a concern for your group. Price: Very reasonable and they often have coupons in the Clipper magazines. I think the 1 porkchop meal was $10 and turkey was around $12. read more

I was sooo excited! I just moved here and wanted some good decently priced food. The menu made the turkey cranberry wrap sound AMAZING. WELP.. NO. The best comparison I can draw is to that of the deli line in middle school. The turkey was just thick lunch meat. The cranberry spread was delicious but barely had any and the lettuce was soggy on the inside. My husband's burger could have come from a grade school cafeteria as well. If they would just upgrade their ingredients this place would be THE BEST! The menu really has so much potential. read more

We've been to Funcks a few times. It's become our traditional "stop" after our son's hockey game in Palmyra. Overall it's a good place to eat. They have something for everyone and you always get enough food to fill you up. Service has always been friendly. The atmosphere is pleasant and the fireplace is welcoming as you enter the building. There are 2 sides to the restaurant, a bar side with a ton of beer on tap and a family friendly dining area on the opposite side. Cocktails are good if that is what you are into and the coffee is always hot & fresh. The only reason I didn't give it a 5 is because sometimes they get a little carried aways with the toppings on the food. On our last trip my husband ordered the fish taco, which are very good and recommended, but were overflowing with the slaw. It just made them messy and hard to eat. Otherwise no other complaints. Enjoy! read more

First time in a long time that I walked out of a restaurant before I even sat down. Started with waiting 5 minutes before being greeted, then led to the dirtiest booth in the restaurant, with the hostess throwing the menus on the table and walking away. Rude and dirty is not something anybody wants when going out to eat! We made a quick u-turn, and left. We've learned that, at least sometimes, if it's bad walking in to a restaurant, it's probably going to be an overall bad experience. I would avoid this place at all costs. read more

We ate a late lunch before heading back to Philadelphia. Limited lunch menu. We both ordered the classic cheeseburger with chips since we don't usually eat all the fries that usually would come with a burger. This offered fries for three dollars more. The burgers were $14.99 or so. A coffee and a soda was added. Burger was very greasy. It seemed like a frozen patty was used and I believe American cheese not cheddar as stated on the menu. A few potato chips on my plate a few more on my husbands plate. They were the best part of the meal. Husband didn't like the coffee and the soda was full of ice not much soda. The waitress presented the bill and with a device she stood there so I could put in my credit card which had an option for either no tip or the next option was 25% tip. I gave the 25%. Total bill was $43 and change for a meager meal. Never again! McDonalds would be better if I was able to find one! read more

A few disclaimers... I have only been here three or four times and have only sat at the bar. I have always received excellent service. We've ordered food a few times. The chicken corn soup is delicious, but be warned it is not your typical soup. It is thick, thicker than a chowder, very little broth, it is a PA Dutch soup with rivels, these are like dumplings. I like it, but it may not be for everyone, it's not a sipping soup... Think corn pudding, you could seriously eat it with a fork. The fried chicken is some of the best in the area, meatloaf is good, but has lots of gravy, which I like. The gorgonzola, crab and bacon stuffed mushrooms were very disappointing. Cheap flavorless gorgonzola, and salt water tasting crab, edible is the best I can say about them. The outdoor seating area is excellent, so is the bar area, great music, perhaps a little bit loud, but certainly not obnoxious at all. The beer selection is excellent, outstanding, surpassed by very few for miles around. However I never had a real beer-ophile as a bartender. They tap them, but are not passionate about it. For a great selection of beers served by passionate beer lovers head to the Federal Taphouse in downtown Lancaster, their knowledgeable beer staff is unparalleled. Overall food is a hit or miss, table service can be inattentive (so I hear). I would recommend coming here, sitting at the bar, reading the exhaustive and descriptive beer menu, make your own decision, then order fried chicken... This is actually a 3 1/2 star review. read more

Funck's was in our list to visit before heading back home to Virginia, so glad we stopped by and had their breakfast! The food was very tasty and perfect portions, and the Bloody Mary was the best I've ever had - get it spicy!! read more

You know...I liked it. Lots of menu choices at reasonable prices. Good service. Good food. Comfortable environment. It will be our go to place when we don't know what we want and it's late. read more

Love the outdoor seating! It was 90 degrees outside but we sat under the fans in the bar area and had a very pleasant temp and enjoyed being outside. They have TONS of seating so this is the place for big parties. They serve breakfast till 2pm so we came after church and had eggs Benedict - which was great. My husband had the kitchen sink skillet which he liked. That came with a biscuit which had great flavor (I had to try it!). We have also eating inside on another occasion and love the atmosphere indoors too. We will return many more times. read more

Breakfast is awesome. I've been twice now and it's so delicious, but I took friends for dinner and the food was really bad. We had shepherds pie and steaks and it was not a good experience. The restaurant is really nice inside and the staff is really friendly. It's good for a couples night out, or family. read more

God help my waist line. I ate here twice this week and it feels like my pants are paying the price. I went with some coworkers on a saturday off of a recommendation from one of them. They have 56 beers on tap... 56. If that wasn't enough the food is killer too! I wholly enjoyed dinner of a bourbon burger and their appetizer of crab corn chowder bites. Prices on the beer were very reasonable given the diversity of options. Went back later the next week for lunch after a meeting. This time I had a pizza of goat cheese, tzatziki sauce, and kalamata olives (don't know it till you try it). Finished the whole thing then I was goaded by a coworker to get a dessert of the cheesecake. Which I regret, but not because it was bad, but because it was a meal in and of itself! It was huge and on-par with many cheesecakes I have had growing up in New York. Very similar to a Junior's style. The only reason why I do not give this place five stars was some very annoying horse flies that were buzzing around during my second visit, though that could have been due to some construction that was going on outside on the main road nearby (gotta love Penndot). Did I also mention they have 56 beers on tap? Can't go wrong with that, or the sampler where for 13 dollars you get 8 - 5 ounce samples of any beer on the menu. Loved that! read more

Came here for dinner and the food is pretty good. We ordered French onion soup, pretzel cheddar burger with bacon and extra pickles, homemade meatloaf, beer flight, and finally a cookie for dessert. Our waitress was attentive and filled our waters frequently. The prices here was definitely affordable and with big portions I think it was well worth it. I will come back again if I am in the area. read more

We stopped here after another restaurant we wanted to go to for breakfast was packed & we didn't have time to wait. We were not disappointed. We had the Sunday breakfast brunch & everything we tasted was delicious. They even offered made-to-order omelets. My only criticism was the potato hash browns were very cold. The bourbon meatballs were my favorite!!! Staff & service was polite & attentive. I'd give them a try if you're in the area. read more

I will go to bat for Funck's any day of the week. The beer options are amazing compared to anything else in Palmyra. The food is very good -- their fried chicken and their stuffed meatloaf are both big favorites. It looks like your standard family restaurant, which isn't an insult (the bar area also has tables and it it a bit nicer). Lots of small plate options too. Bonus points, they were super nice to us a few years ago when my three year old suddenly got sick in one of their bathrooms. (NOTE: he did not eat anything there! He actually refused to eat anything during the whole meal and we couldn't figure out why...then we learned the hard way.) The staff could not possibly have been any cooler about it, so Funck's holds a little place in my heart. read more

The corn and crab fritters were good, and the coconut shrimp salad was delicious! For a casual place, this restaurant was pretty tasty!

12/10 recommend. If I could add more than five stars, I would. Came in with lower expectations but was very pleasantly surprised with the atmosphere, service, and food. Server was awesome, she knew the menu well and was able to give great recommendations. Food was great. We got wings, Bang Bang Shrimp Tacos, and the fried chicken. Everything was great. Clean place too. :) read more

Been here twice, had great service both times. The food has always met my expectations. Definitely worth the time to stop in. read more

Funck's Restaurant - Palmyra - Strawberry Summer Salad - New American Near Me - Palmyra, Pennsylvania

We've come to Funcks many times, as well as the Hideaway in Mt Gretna. We like that Funcks have as extended menu including Gluten Free options. It is a nice environment. First I want to say that our waiter tonight-Alex-was phenomenal. He was sharp, memorized our order and wanted everything to be perfect. I highly recommend him! What we were disappointed with was two things-the Pomegranate Margarita is one of my Favs! Like the last year it is my go to choice. Tonight it was awful. Sour. Different ingredients and disappointed. Alex took care of us and suggested a different drink. Our food was also lukewarm. He took care of that too. So it's 3 stars because of changing the ingredients in one of your best drinks and for lukewarm food. But Alex deserves 5 stars for service. Please change back to your other fresh ingredients for the Pom Margarita. read more

Busy day and the staff was stretched thin. Food was mediocre at best. Had the cheddar bacon pretzel burger and how they managed to make the burger tasteless is beyond me read more

Funck's did such a great job reinventing itself, we pretty much believed it. Then we went there for dinner, and were quickly disillusioned. Food was just okay. The whiskey mac-and-cheese, which was amazing the first time I had it, was barely more than Kraft Dinner the second time. Asparagus is reliably good--I'll give 'em that. And they have a nice beer selection. But they've gotta do better on salads, consistency, and server attention. After you drop the food, check back, like, 2 minutes later--not 30 minutes later. It's completely frustrating to be stuck needing to ask for something when the server is nowhere in sight. For your entire meal. Turned out I got the wrong order delivered to me...and waited maybe 25 minutes (seriously) for the server and then the replacement order so I could eat dinner. After my husband was completely finished with his. Sad times at Funck's. read more

I've been to Funck's a few times over the past year while visiting the area. The service is always great and the atmosphere is very comfortable. This past visit, we ordered the buffalo chicken salad and the Philly cheesesteak. We upgraded from fries to onion rings and were not disappointed! The mango lemonade was excellent, too! Everything was so good!! read more

I want to start by saying I never write reviews because I understand people have bad days but damn 2 times in a row . I have also worked in the restaurant business my entire life . 20 years Throughout Hoboken, Jersey City, and Manhattan. The bartenders Sunday and again on Wednesday are not particularly pleasant to new faces. Demanding I order a drink when I ordered food first. I apologize, I had a long day and needed a bite to eat before booze. I am only staying here a couple weeks and heard this was "the place" . I say thank you they reply "yup" I even asked the bartender if it was a problem with ordering food first after I got an attitude. He replied "yeah I don't want to forget the order" . Honestly my first experience was terrible but the food was amazing and there were so many items I wanted to try.I had to give you another shot and I will be back FOR THE FOOD.. this was the second time this week I came in and was extremely disappointed again. Oh yeah Sunday the bartender basically threw my app at me. Today while I was eating my app my entree came. 2 shrimps in to the coconut shrimp which is delicious . So yeah I ate cold crab cake ..thanks for rushing me. As I am writing the bartender holding on to the little hair he has asked how my food was. I replied cold. He asked if I wanted another, so I have to thank him for that. Although He was not happy about it he did take care of it.....funck's more like punks behind the bar.. I'll still tip you ladies and neither of them would try that outside the bar. I promise you ..I'll be back .. again the food is amazing and that's why I came back .. I was rushed and brushed off for no reason. Thanks for ruining my experience Fpuncks ..so many places why deal w shit service. Well like I said the food brought me back ! Let me say I do not need a bartender to be up my ass but don't give me An attitude from the second I sit down . Not. Cool.. I'll be back .. again for the food read more

Food was good, BUT...we asked our server for a bowl of lemons for our water and at no time were we told there would be an up charge. I have asked for extra lemons at almost every restaurant and this is usually not an issue and no extra cost OR we're told there would be an extra cost. Received our bill and THEY CARGED US $7.49 for (I assume) 2 lemons!!!!! And rang it up as a large fruit bowl?!!??????? Two lemons cost more than my $6.50 bowl of French onion soup! The prices are a bit high and the waitress NEVER let us know there would be an extra cost, even after waiting more than 15 minutes for the "fruit bowl" and asking for it multiple times. Will NOT be back. read more

I have only been twice. The first time was an early supper. It was ok. But not anything special. Chicken was way overdone. I really can't remember what the rest of us had. Our waitress was very good an attentive. I went back for breakfast once and it was very good. Large portions. Waiter was very nice and when he found out we were running short on time he expedited our food read more

Ive ate here quite a few times .. The food is usually pretty good and the staff are usually pretty good but we have had poor service quite a few times as well .. The food is usually always good and proportioned good but somethings are alittle overpriced plus they seem to change up the menu sometimes and ditch good foods ... The best thing to get here is the sunday brealfast buffet seriously good but i do wish they would keep everyone who is eatting the buffet on the side of the building where that is located gets to be annoying walking thru ppl talking and people walking thru the door to go across .. So on that not my star selection is big reflection of alot of the service i have experienced here read more

Well, excellent draft beer selection. Atmosphere is great, servers are great. The bar food was really good too. Had the wings, excellent. Key word, bar food. I personally ventured into the dinner menu and paid the price. I got the meatloaf and it was pretty bad. I ate about half of it. It tasted like dog food so I figured I'd save the other half for the dog. As soon as I got home, explosive diarrhea. From the meatloaf. I fed the dog the other half. Poor guy crapped his brains out too. read more

I've been eating here for years. The food is getting progressively more expensive but the food quality is going WAY down. It's just too greasy. And most of it tastes like a mix of boxes and cans. The service is great but they can't fix the food. read more
