Worth the visit go see them you won't regret it. FYI I had the collards,yam, potato salad Lima beans n corn, fried fish n shrimp w cornbread read more

Friendly staff, you just came in, ordered your food and then waited in your car. I ordered the 4 chicken wing dinner with a side of Mac & cheese with rice & gravy. The chicken was juicy but lacked flavor. It was disappointing, the rice & gravy had no salt or flavor. It was bland. The mac & cheese was the best I would give it 4 out of 5 for that item but for almost $20 for a meal and based on recommendations. I felt disappointed and I could have gotten food elsewhere. Now I am willing to give this place another chance and try another item another time. The staff is fine for getting take out, I did see a closed off seating area and having the menu outside to view was great. Try this place & see for yourself how you feel. read more

Funderburks Cafe & Catering - 2 - Soul Food Near Me - Greensboro, North Carolina

Waited for about an hour to get the wrong order. (3 plates..... completely wrong order. They had given my order to someone else because they gave out two orders with the number 46.) Then to be told "oh that's not your order....but you can keep it" and then (on good faith) gave us a voucher for 3 free plates. Returned 5 days later to collect on the voucher (that I misplaced) but the cashier recognized us and asked for the paper. We told her I lost it so she said we could only get 2 plates. It's not about trying to get "free" food. It's about the principal and the big debacle that we went through five days ago. I don't even have the time span or the breath to want to put it all into words just know it was an ordeal. If you're not a "man" of your word, speaks volumes. My friend comes often enough to wear. The manager said to her every time I see you I'll still apologize. I'll let you know how often she visit the establishment so we're not trying to pull a fast one over on you. Just getting you to honor your word which you did not do. Your character speaks. read more

I personally wasn't a fan of the ribs I ordered. Thr ribs tasted as if they were baked and not smoked, I can't place fault because I don't recall thr menu stating smoked. So this is merely based on personal preference. The service was amazing. I ordered through Door Dash and a very pleasant young lady promptly called me to let me know that one if the sides I ordered was not available, giving me the chance to change my side dish with no surprise container in my order. Thank you for that read more

Now this is what I want when I order soul food! Omgoodness! The food was soooo good! The chicken was crispy and moist. My pig feet were tender and the corn bread (no words)! It's a take out restaurant so I didn't have to leave my car to get my order. The young lady who brought owas very nice The only reason I didn't give 5 stars because the sides could've used a little more seasoning! read more

Great food with good service. Food always fresh. I used Funderburk's to cater a dinner for me and the food was delicious. Everyone talked about how good it was. I definitely recommend if you looking for great soul food. read more

I have recommended Funderburk's to family, friends, even colleagues. They honestly have the best soul food in Greensboro, and I've lived here for over 20 years. My go to is their fried fish, yams, macaroni and cheese, and hush puppies. The food is always hot and fresh. However, my last visit wasn't too pleasant. I typically order online and park curbside to receive my order. I'm not sure of her name, but a worker brought me my food with the worst attitude. She asked me my name very aggressively, and I told her. She then handed me my food in disgust. When I said thank you, she gave me an aggressive "mhm", rolled her eyes, and stomped off. I'm not sure what happened, and it took me a second to process it, but I've neverrrr experienced this from the employees. Everyone has always been so nice and I frequent this place! I'm not sure if she was upset if I parked closer to the batting place that's next door, but the line was extremely long, so I was unable to park closer at that moment. This experience definitely turned me off because why have an attitude? Didn't you choose to work here? read more

I went inside and ordered two whitening fish specials and one chicken tender meal. I was asked for the make and color of my car and they would bring my food out to me. That was around that was around 4:30pm on a Wednesday. A lady bought my food out to my car and forgot to give me tartar sauce for my fish. I was told to drive up to the door and she would bring it out. I did not look at my food because I assumed that all three of my plates were there, but when I got to the light to drive home, it was already 5:07 pm and I did not have the chicken tenders for my daughter. They close at 5pm so I decided to go to Mayflower and get my daughter some chicken tenders but next time please put all my food in my bag because I paid for it. read more

Oooooooooooooooooooweeeeeeeeee. Talk about some good home southern cooking! If you want have a home cooked meal craving and don't wanna go home and cook go to FUNDERBURKS. You will think your grandmother is in the kitchen cooking. Everything I got from this place I loved! They do have covid regulations going on so you can only order take out but who cares?! The food so good it won't matter where you at to eat it. The chicken was juicy, crispy, and well seasoned. The yams are yamming! The Mac and cheese taste better than your aunties! And the green beans are killer! The pork chop is cooked to and with perfection! Definitely a ten out of ten and will satisfy your southern fix! Oh yea and did I mention AFFORDABLE?! read more

I have really come to love this little place, located in the most unremarkable, most deserted shopping center in Gboro. This is solid soul food, served up by friendly, gracious people, led by Mr Funderburk, his restaurant's best ambassador! And the word is spreading, the traffic seems to grow each week. The Meatloaf is old school, thick and robust; the Fried Chicken has that distinctive, home cooked taste, with a lite, yet crunchy crust; and the Fried Whiting is perfectly cooked, and the portion size is very nice. Might want to give this place a look. read more

Holy Moly!!! An epitome of Soul Food, every bite really touched my soul. Greeted by such a warm and loving welcome, our party of 2 ordered the 4 wings meal and a serving of the Salmon cakes, each with a coleslaw and mac n cheese sides. Our first bite, both of us had a food orgasm! It was sooooooo soooo good, hidden away in a small parking lot next to the dry cleaners ! with ample seating outside for customers. Our Salmon cakes was filled and stuffed with salmon, paired with some tatare sauce made it mouth watering. The wings were perfectly battered and fried with every bite crispy n satisfying ! If ever in greensboro and craving soul food, a highly reccomended place to come, its the food my asian mama never made and its the food that makes your heart wanting to return! read more

Today I tried Funderburks for the 2nd time and I doubt I will EVER go back. I purchased the pork chop dinner. Sides are okay but this pork chop so thin it's crazy and they have so much breader that's all you can taste they should really be ashamed definitely not worth $17.00 Tips to the owner don't buy this thin pork chop. It's hard to find good quality soul food these days! read more

Sorry, I forgot to take a picture of the food before drenching my shrimp in ketchup. Good food. Mac & cheese was bland. I picked fried okra off of my god sister's plate & it was delicious. I wish I would've gotten that instead of the Mac. The staff was polite & attentive. read more

3.5ish stars. I'm pretty picky when it comes to my soul food. While it didn't completely blow me away, the food was pretty solid and the customer service was outstanding which goes a long way in my book. The only complaint I have is the macaroni and cheese was more like cheese on top of noodles and the cornbread was pretty bad. It was hard and crumbly and didn't taste like anything. Maybe I came on an off day as another reviewer mentioned so I will give those another shot. My fried whiting fish special was great! The batter is seasoned perfectly. I preferred it over the fried chicken that my husband got. The greens were good, hot sauce made them better. Yams didn't disappoint at all - sweet, buttery goodness. The potato salad was ok but probably won't order again. I know a lot of people are comparing Funderburks with Stephanie's. I don't love this location but I will stop in here before going to Stephanie's any day. The food and the service is better. read more

Funderburks Cafe & Catering - Whiting. Delicious! Ate all of it... accept that crumbly cornbread - Soul Food Near Me - Greensboro, North Carolina

Great Soul Food menu. Online and walk up take out. Open Wednesday-Sunday. Curbside pickup service! Two locations in Greensboro!

Fried Chicken dinners is a thigh and drumstick cooked to a light flaky golden brown served with your choice of two sides and, for an additional 50 cents, add corn bread. We both had the Mac & Cheese and the potato salad. Both were excellent but overshadowed by the perfectly crispy fried chicken. The strawberry cake and lemon meringue pie were enticing but neither of us had left room for it. Having arrived by 5:00 PM, we just were ahead of a flood of regular patron. The fried fish was selling off the shelf. Think we will try that next. There were plenty of seats for dining. It looked like one out of three patrons was takeout. Service was friendly and efficient. You are called for pickup when your order is ready. The place and bathrooms were clean. The smells of great food wafted from the kitchen. Prices were very reasonable. This will be a regular place for us but next time we will try it around 3:00 PM. It has been a long dry spell here in Greensboro and finally I found a place that sells REAL Southern Fried chicken. My special thanks to Fred B. and Nikki M for their excellent reviews. Highly recommend Funderburks! Notes: Closed Monday and Tuesday. read more

You can tell the business is growing! When you walk in, things are a little tight but they get to you A.S.A.P. I had some tiny issue but they resolved it once I notified the server. My macaroni was ok, I had to flip it over to enjoy it since the top part was baked a little too long. Other than that, everything else was excellent. My chicken was hot and my yams were made to perfection! And oh coco butter baby Jesus!!!! The dessert was contagious! I had the Boston crème pie/cake and wished I would have ordered two!! And the lemonade is BOMB.COM!! Overall I will be back, and I will give the macaroni and cheese a 2nd chance lol!!! read more

My girlfriend and I individually grade our experience and add the two (2) scores together to get our overall average. Bae: 1 The food was horrible, it tastes like they just took it out the can and warmed it up. The restaurant was extremely HOT . A customer walked behind the counter and asked for a piece of cornbread ‍. Me: 1 The food here was absolutely disgusting. I did LOVE THE COCONUT CAKE so its a 1. Overall Score: 1 read more

No no no! I had flounder which it was good and seasoned you really can't go wrong with Fish but I had yams and turnip greens as my two side. The yams were everything I wanted more ! I wish I would've got a double order of those but those greens they should be ashamed! Straight out the can! How you call yourself should food but you in the pantry with it! That's a disappointment. I give the fish a 7 yams a 10 green a 0. And they didn't include my bread that was supposed to come with my meal.... read more

The food and service are always great! Most if the sides are really good! Fried fish is great as well as the chicken, sometimes the seasoning is heavy in one area but overall good! read more

First time in Greensboro and Wow! Delicious catfish plate with apples and coleslaw as my sides. Don't let the appearance of the apples fool you; they don't appear seasoned. The coleslaw was good and my catfish was freshly cooked. The next time I'm roadtripping through Greensboro, I will definitely put this place high up on my list of places to get a good meal. Down home atmosphere and very courteous staff. Unfortunately it is located in a deserted shopping center. read more

Funderburks Cafe & Catering - Catfish plate w/ apples, coleslaw & strawberry lemonade (definitely get the large) - Soul Food Near Me - Greensboro, North Carolina

Imagine ordering a fried chicken wing dinner with mac-n-cheese, potato salad, cornbread, and a lemonade and the cornbread being the star of the meal. I finally had time to stop by Funderburks for lunch and I totally wasted my $19. Let's start with the positives. The service was great, the young ladies were very professional and customer oriented. Now for the food.....the chicken was completely golden brown and looked fantastic, but there was absolutely NO flavor, and plenty of grease. I literally stopped at Dollar General to buy seasoning just to eat the food. The mac-n-cheese was full of grease and also flavorless, the potato salad was ok. The lemonade was a cup of colored sugar water. Now the cornbread was fantastic and I wanted more of that. Overall, this was horrible, a complete waste of money on below average hospital food read more

All I can say is wow the food was on point. I brought the whiting dinner and a shrimp dinner. Everything was fresh the cashier was attentive and nice . The food came out in a timely manner I told them my stomach thanks you . Nothing but love goes into this food. read more

This review is based on the new restaurant on Americhase dr. I have not eaten here yet, however stopped in to pick up a menu and noticed a strong sewage smell. Several folks that have been there noticed the same. I will return for a meal, however not until the odor issue has been resolved. read more

Dessert first is a thing. Im only telling you about it now, because I need you to remember to get it. Even if you keep it wrapped up.and save it for later, do yourself a favor and get it first. You'll read why in a minute. But--Before I reached the front door, I had already decided to order potato salad and collard greens. It's common in certain culinary circles to use potato salad as a barometer of culinary prowess. Not only is Funderburk's potato salad excellent, a simple sprinkle of paprika on top is an additional seal of approval on the presentation side of things. The rest of the menu is simple: fried chicken, meatloaf, whiting fish and hot dogs are some of the featured meat options. Each meat can be ordered a la carte or as part of a dinner with any two sides and choice of bread. The fried chicken had a light, crispy and crunchy crust while the meat is silky and juicy. I saved the chicken skin, arguably the best part of fried chicken, until last, dipping it in hot sauce and crunching on it while alternating bites of collard greens. The collard greens were prepared well with big fat ribs of the greens, chopped up within with a little hint of spice. I prefer my greens with a little twang from vinegar, and though these greens had none, there was Texas Pete everything on the table to spice up the joint. The cornbread, made with white cornmeal, has a subtle sweetness and crumbled into my collards upon the first bite, but the potlikker soaked into the crumbly bits. So good. Walk up, place your orders at the counter directly in front of the entrance and the menu is displayed on a flat screen TV high above the counter, on the wall. No meal can be complete without dessert. Do not miss dessert here. I repeat: Do not miss dessert. Several flavors of cake are offered each day. Each piece I have had has been incredibly moist and the frosting, impeccably smooth and creamy, almost like pudding. Strawberry, lemon and orange sherbet are my favorite flavors. And they are so $#@&!ing good! Y'all. Don't sleep on dessert. Seriously. Go. And Take me with you. Please! read more

Visited two days in a row...guess you can say...I LIKE IT A LOT! On day 1, I came during lunch and the line was near the back of the store. I actually got out of line only to get back in line after deciding to wait it out. My complaint, which has nothing to do with the food, is the layout of the restaurant. When you enter, you are greeted by the line of customers before you. It is a little chaotic because you have to make your way to the back of the line (thank God everyone uses their manners still because you will hear a lot of 'excuse me' while dining here). In addition, there is only one trash can and guess where it is strategically placed...directly beside the line. So, I had to move forward to allow people to drop their trash in the receptacle; then move backwards because here came another person from another direction. I surely burned calories while waiting from doing the 'get out of the way of the trash can dance'. Nonetheless, once I made it to the counter, the server (young girl) was extremely pleasant and helpful. She recommended the biscuits over the cornbread (I learned why on day 2...very dry...just like your Grand mom would make them). I ordered the whiting special and chose macaroni and cheese and fried okra with the fish and fried okra, fried hard. I also ordered the lemonade. I ordered a to-go fish plate for my husband as well (he did not have the time to stay for lunch since the line was so long). We squeezed (literally) into our seats at one of the longer rectangle tables they have (they have two and they offer very minimal space to get in and out). I felt sorry for my husband so we finally moved to a recently vacated two-seater table nearest the bathrooms. The food came and we had to go to the counter to get it. Again, lots of 'excuse me' and 'pardon me' because just like the trash can; the counter is obstructed by waiting patrons. Now, to the food...absolutely delicious. The fish is breaded to perfection and seasoned perfectly; the macaroni was cheesy and just right (I only added pepper to mine) and the fried okra was so freaking tasty. My husband left with his food but he called on his way back to work to rave about the little tastes he had. We were both very satisfied. After posting a picture of my food on Facebook, one of my colleagues begged me to take her the following day; so I did. I ordered the same meal and it was just as tasty. The only difference was that the lemonade was a little different. The day prior it was yellow and this day, it was more of an orange color. Still tasty nonetheless. Overall, great soul food establishment with great customer and very tasty food. I hope they expand to one of the vacant spaces in the strip mall (or even move to a new location) so they can fix their issues with logistics. Definitely worth the 'issues', however. Oh, one other thing, the hours are VERY limited. I hate they close at 6 pm. I would love to bring my kids for dinner but by the time I get off, grab them, it is 6 pm. Again, with time and growth; I can only hope they will change their hours too. read more

I started out with five stars and took away: 1) because they ran out of collards as soon as I got to the counter. They just kept running out of things while I waited, in the middle of lunch on a Sunday! 2) the fish and shrimp were so salty! It gave me a headache! The three remaining stars go to the pintos-they were flavored well, the Mac n cheese was great and so was the cornbread. Might try them again in the future. read more

I ordered the croaker fish dinner. My sides were yams and collard greens and hush puppies. The meal is pricey but worth it. I got a large full fish cooked in cornmeal and two styrofoam cups one stuffed with greens and the other yams. The fish was cooked just right. The yams were some of the best I have had. The collards were okay. I'm going back! read more
