Reviews of The Funkadelic

We’ve been here three times now and every time the food is delicious and the service is really exceptional. The first two times, we went on a weekend and it gets supppper packed; even when we went today on a weekday, it had a pretty steady crowed, especially as we were leaving around 11:00. This place really hustles to make great food, provide excellent service, and pretty reasonable pricing. One thing I really want to highlight are the reasonable portion sizes. There are far too many places that serve gargantuan plates of food, much of which goes to waste.

This brunch spot is a MUST if you come to Austin! My husband and I stopped in on a Sunday morning around 11:30am. There was a line, but it moved pretty quickly. (Honesty do not let the line steer you away) We quickly ordered and got sat. The food came out relatively quick for how busy it was. Pictured: The Heuvos Racheros, the Hash scramble, Pupusas, and the chips and queso side dish. Everything was delicious and did not disappoint.

My goodness! Why did it take me a year in a half to finally come around to *Funkadelic*! Either way, I am so HAPPY my boyfriend and I decided to have brunch/lunch here! We were greeted by one of the workers who was so warm and knowledgeable on the menu, we decided to order everything he recommended - the special burger, migas, vanilla pancake, and churro waffles! And let me tell you...the food was AHHMAZING! Funkadelic's environment and food are lively just like their owner, Michael who greeted us and everyone there! Absolutely PHENOMENAL and can't wait to go back!

The Funkadelic is an interesting, amazing little brunch place! You order at the counter and someone will tell you where to sit right before you order, or after depending on how busy it is. It can get pretty busy on a Sunday morning, but it is so worth it. I get the Pupusas every time it go. I have tried my husbands food every time and everything he has gotten so far has been amazing too. The pancakes have a yummy vanilla flavor, and the chips and queso are awesome. I could go on and on, but I will spare you.

Very nice kid friendly breakfast joint. Fun and unique menu items. Very clean and fresh. My only critique would be that I think the chicken and waffles would be better with either drums, wing or breast. Thigh meat is a little fatty when fried IMHO. I was also surprised that the sausage side is link sausage rather than breakfast sausage. Look forward to trying the hash and toad in a hole the next visit.

You know I'm beginning to realize that brunch in Austin is not just overrated at this point, but beyond a waste of time. After two weeks open I'd expect the kitchen flow to be pretty decent, perhaps they were understaffed on Sunday... We waited over an hour and a half from walking in to eating. 20 of those minutes were in line. Food was fresh, but left me wanting double the portions. The Pupusas which were recommended, were bland and had little going on, apple filled ebelskivers / aqua frescas were solid though. Seating was so cramped you have to shimmy through to get by, on top of that you have to figure out to seat yourself after standing there awkwardly for a good five minutes. (don't forget to grab your water/utensils too) At the end of the day it was 50 bucks for a beet salad, a street food south American dish and a glass of watermelon juice with a decent tip. (Ouch) I'd recommend checking this place out on a weekday if you're going to try it, maybe it's different.
