Hard to make a reservation. There was an opening band not mentioned. The band we went to see was misrepresented on the website! To much money to pay with an additional service fee. A high top with an obstructed view. Never again!! read more

Very loud for a small venue. We had crushed napkins in our ears. Old men trying to sing doesn't do it. Sax player was the only one playing, one musician played the air guitar...really? Bad cover band playing Billy Joel off key. Now onto the food. Steak, mashed potatoes tasted like salt lick, asparagus not cooked, salmon just like shoe leather, salad was leaves...dessert was choice of 3 inedible cakes. My ears are still hurting. For the price, buy the cd and find a good restaurant! Oh and the owner blower cap into the joint. Classless! read more

This is an excellent live music venue. Not a bad seat in the house. Certainly above average food and drinks. The manager, Al, is always there and very welcoming and gracious. Beautiful area of Boca near Mizner Park and restaurants. read more

this place is awesome. a classy place to see talented performers in an intimate setting, a real gem in south florida, where so often the focus is on drinking, not the music. the sound is amazing, no matter where you're at in the room, though i've sat in the back area when i've gotten seated tickets, because i don't like it too loud. i wasn't expecting much from the food cause the prices were so moderate, and obviously the main focus is the music, but i was pleasantly surprised, the Legato Sliders were legit and so were the sweet potato fries. most recently, my husband played a packed house and i brought our daughter (with noise cancelling ear protection, like i said, it sounds great but it's loud). even though we may have been an inconvenience, because they were slammed, all the staff was as so helpful in making sure we were comfortable. thanks for that! read more

Great music venues surrounded by fantastic restaurants. A must to visit when in Boca.

BEWARE, Management is totally unprofessional. I was there on date actually. I had been there for over an hour, having dinner and drinks. The music was good. Drinks and food was reasonable, no complaints there. The manager lady, short lady with long curly hair comes over and starts yelling at me that I'm not spending enough money to sit in the seat I was at. I couldn't believe it, my bar tab was $120. I have never been treated so badly, especially by a manager of the establishment, by any bar or restaurant I have ever been too. I normally don't write bad reviews because I know it hurts the business, but I was embarrassed in front of my date and I just couldn't believe my ears. I would have given this place a 4-5 star rating if it wasn't for this manager lady and I would have certainly come back to enjoy this place again. I was having a fun time, drinking and listening to the music. I will not be back and although I hate writing bad reviews of places, I feel compelled to express myself here on Yelp. I will not be back, not recommend this place to my friends and family and I hope this manager lady gets fired because I have never been treated this poorly by any bar in south Florida. WOW is all I can say. Again, music, food/drinks all good. Manager lady a nightmare. The owner would be wise to cut his loses with this lady. read more

wow , what a great place, Third time there. Food was good and happy hour drinks were a deal. Everyone was friendly and made us feel like we were at home .Music is great .Live Music is getting rare.We check the web site to see who is playing. Never seen anything as good and local. Plenty of parking. defiantly going back and would recommend it read more

Bye Bye Funky Biscuit: I have been a patron of the Funcky Biscuit since the beginning. I have seen dozen of quality music shows in the venue and have enjoyed the club for years. I have been a loyal and repeat customer. Unfortunately I now have to say goodbye to the Funcky Biscuit. Why you may ask? Well last night I took my Brother to see The Matthew Curry Band after paying $38.00 for tickets. The show was at 8:00 pm and we had already eaten dinner so we ordered a couple of drinks and settled into enjoy the show. When we asked for the check when it was time to leave there was minimum food charge of $15.00 per person on the bill. I called the manager over and requested an explanation. I was provided with a curt and rude answer that this was their new policy as posted on the Web site. My response was that I already paid for a ticket and to enforce a minimum food charge of such a high amount was in effect double dipping.The manager dismissed my concerns and said that is the policy. Now I have enjoyed this venue for years but this is outrageously, greedy and customer unfriendly. I can understand and even support a minimum food charge for those events they have no cover charge but forcing one to buy a ticket and then charging a large minimum is a complete ripoff. Since The Funcky Biscuit has decided to take advantage of it's customers I have decided to spend my money for entertainment at more customer friendly venues. I will not be frequenting the Funcky Biscuit anymore and am confident that when this outrageous new policy is understood by their customer base they will be loosing a large amount of business, read more

Terrific intimate venue featuring bands from all genres. It's always a great time! The staff is awesome and the crowd is always fun. Can't wait to go back! read more

We LOVE the Funky Biscuit. Jam nights are Mondays. You never know who is going to show up, and whoever plays is always a great Treat! They have started a new policy on Mondays. Don't know about the other days. They take reservations! Yes! And for a slight charge which you can translate into drink and food credits, you get a seat...table or bar. We are thrilled with this policy. The food is ok for a club, the servers are amazing, and the vibe is the best. Open and friendly and the music? Well, go!! Try it!! read more

Great venue for R&B, funk, soul, reggae music. The owner books some of the best bands. Really nice place.

Don't bother and beware. The management of this bar is total awful. I was there last Friday on a date when the "office manager" thought that I should not be allowed to sit at the bar. We got there at 6pm for happy hour and at that time there was two empty bar stools at the end of the bar witch we sat at. We ordered drinks and appetizers and was enjoying the live music. Since at that time we were having a good time we decided ordered another round of drinks and dinner. The food came out, it was good, and after we finished our dinner we ordered another round of drinks. We have been at the bar for a couple of hours eating and drinking nothing out of the ordinary when a woman with long curly blond hair comes up behind me and pulls the bar stool out from behind me. I looked at her and said excuse me. She than stated that I could not sit there. I asked why not, and she said did you pay for that seat. I stated that we have been sitting here since 6 eating and drinking what are you talking about. At that time the woman said "I don't care" and walked off with the bar stool I was sitting on. I asked the bar tendered who was that woman and he shook his head and rolled his eyes "I guess she is our office manager". I don't care who might be playing there or how nice the bar is the behavior of management is totally unescapable and I will never be coming back. read more

The Funky Biscuit - Jazz & Blues Near Me - Boca Raton, Florida

The music is great but the general manager (at least that's what he claimed to be) is not. After being asked to move twice because we were standing and dancing during a concert I started a conversation with the GM. He decided that even though my party of four had paid more than $20 a piece to attend with general admission (standing room only) tickets we were obstructing the view of people in the back of the bar everywhere except for a small part of the floor next to the bathroom and behind a pole. To his credit he offered us seats that he claimed were sold for $40 a seat but we did not want to sit down for the concert! After explaining my position I was met with insults (you must have been on the debate team) and told "I hope I never see you again." Hopefully the owner reads this and decides it's time for a new GM. In case you are reading I attended on 7/25/15 for the John Cleary concert. read more

As a live music enthusiast when the Funky Biscuit opened I was very excited and for a long period of time it was a great venue for what it offered. However, my last two experiences there have led me to this review. When a bigger act is booked they sell tables plus GA space. If you purchase a table you cannot get up and dance and if you purchase GA there is virtually no space to claim. You are constantly being asked to move by servers, the sound board operator, or other customers. Then they have reserved seats at the bar which, to me, is unheard of, but the reality of the venue. Even if no one is sitting in these reserved stools you cannot even wait there to order drinks. The bouncer will immediately tell you to move. Next, they never pick up their phone. Again, too me this is unheard of because you cannot get useful info re the music. For example, the New Years show was not advertised with an opening band. The website simply said 8pm start time. The real band did not come on until after 10pm. For Big Sam the main act started almost 2 hrs late. A simple fix would be to answer the phone and give out the accurate info so people can plan accordingly. The energy in the place is a little negative because there is a vibe that its all about maxing out money. I have no issue with trying to turn a profit, but there is a way to treat the patrons a bit better while still making money. Everyone there is there for the great music the venue books and the great sound the venue has. With a few adjustments everyone can win. read more

What a great night at Funky Biscuit! Have not been before but will be back. We got to celebrate our favorite local band Uproot Hootenanny. They were amazing and entertaining as always! The Funky Biscuit is a great place to see live music. The environment is perfect to feel you are part of the show. Although busy our service was fantastic! Good job to both! read more

Awesome venue. Had a great time watching Uproot Hootenanny. Great band and great music. Shots were oversized and service was very good. Great place to watch live music. Looking forward to going back. read more

This place is amazing. I had to read the other reviews before we bought our tickets, so I was skeptical going in. But understanding the concept, and understanding the process, made our night amazing. This is not a bar or restaurant, it is a live music venue, where they sell tickets online to shows that are performing there. So we get to follow our favorite local or regional bands and see them at The Biscuit. When you purchase tickets you book a seat. Everyone is talking about charging people for seats. That is because their business model is on selling tickets to the musical shows. We went there last weekend and the management there was amazing the staff was friendly, the service and food were great. We had the biscuits, and oh my God. You have to try them. I met the general manager, his name was Eric. He was knowledgeable and friendly and explained everything top to bottom. He saw us to our seats made sure we were okay throughout the night and the music was phenomenal. If you are a music fan I strongly recommend this venue to you. They are full liquor and have a great menu. But their focus is the music. If you are interested in a homemade reasonably priced dinner check them out. And they have bourbons and scotches that most bars do not. This is a jewel hidden away in Boca Raton. I can't wait for Biscuit Fest coming up next weekend. read more

Took me to something what I believe New Orleans to be like. Music, top notch, food was average but tasty and plentiful and the service was on point. One of my new favorite places. read more

Great place with great food, drinks and awesome live music. Service was awesome. Will definitely go back.

This venue could easily be 5 stars, but unfortunately I agree with so many other reviews that this place is poorly run. It all starts with the rudeness and arrogance of the owner. This guy has treated us like dirt on his shoe on more than 1 occasion, and we are(were) well paying patrons. We came back several times for the scene and the music, and each time his arrogance got more and more unbearable. I probably would have continued to put up with it, but after our last visit we started to get fraudulent charges on our debit card immediately afterward. I am not saying that it was definitely the Funky Biscuit who is responsible, but it was the only time in weeks, if not months that my debit card left my possession when i gave it to the waitress at the Funky Biscuit. Between the rude owner and the potential credit card fraud, this place gives a bad vibe to what should be a cool scene. This owner seems to forget that karma and how you treat ALL of your patrons matters tremendously in relation to the life expectancy of a bar! read more

I wouldn't call myself a regular here, but I've probably been half a dozen times, so I'm surprised to read the negative comments. As a disclaimer, I've not been here for an event. First, you have to remember that this is Boca, so while you have to cater you your market, there are plenty of older people on fixed incomes, looking for something for nothing - very happy to come during happy hour, drink one half price over two hours, , then sit listening / taking advantage of live music for a couple of hours while sipping on an iced water with lemon and sugar. Sad, but true as any local will know. I would think this is what leads to the defensive door / ticket policies. Personally, I think that paying something at the door for a full live band is reasonable, and the alternative is being unable to sit down at a place and buy a drink, because all the spaces are taken by people sipping water (see Blue Jean Blues). Not great for business, or even staying in business. The drinks prices are fair here, I've not eaten, but the service is good, although there appears to be no plan for dividing up tables so bartenders and servers keep coming round in random circles. I've not eaten here. The music itself is excellent. Full bands of high quality, and the layout means that you're always pretty close and have a great view. In summary, you pay for what you get here - something at the door for entry, and food and drinks after that. Hopefully it will keep them in business, it's a really good spot, with easy parking, and a guaranteed good night out. read more

Have to say this is a great place. We went in to see a show but went in early to eat. The Happy Hour menu is great. Food was tasty. Doesn't seem to be a bad seat in the house but we sat in the back, in the higher area with a great view of the whole place. The sound was good. Staff was friendly. Shared the table with a nice couple. Did have a couple next to us that didn't stop talking the whole time but can't blame the owners/staff for people's rudeness. Can't wait to go back for a night of great music, food and drinks. read more

Went there last night to see the band, got there about 9:15. Party of 4, SRO at 15$ each. We were standing in the back with obstructed view due to posts and noticed seats at the bar. 1 of our party had their foot in a cast. We asked the bartender if we could sit at the bar until the "reservers" came. Apparently, based on other reviews , that has also been the practice to allow this. We weren't there 5 minutes, and the guy at the door kicked us away from there. I then noticed on the ramp, if we left a path, we could lean on the rail and place our drinks there. I asked the waitress if we could stand there and she said yes, as long as we did not obstruct the path. Another guy had been there about 45 minutes. in talking to him later, he had been coming there for years, and had stood there for years , and sat at the bar for years, until the "reservers" naturally showed up. Again, with 10 minutes, the same guy at the door kicked us out of that area. Makes me wonder about their fire code occupancy as well as their rudeness. The sound was excellent as was the band Wildfire. The experience sucked. read more

I recently revisited the Funky Biscuit to see my favorite band. Both times, they oversold the show, packing you in there like sardines. It made it extremely difficult to dance in there, and the lines to get drinks at the bar were very long. The staff was constantly asking people to move, to create space so people could get into and out of the bar. This was entirely their fault for overbooking the venue in the first place. Lastly, the staff and even the owner were rude. One of the staff crashed into me twice, and neither time apologized. Even the owner bumped into me once, and didn't say anything. I would not go back to this place in the future, even to see my favorite band. read more

a fun and casual place to listen to live music!
