My friend and I stopped here while traveling through Syracuse. We had heard about it through Food Network's Diners, Drive ins, and Dives. Well this place was awful. They have dining, but no wait staff. You order at the counter and then pick up your food when the beeper they give you goes off. There is no one that will tell you this important bit of information or signage or anything when you walk in the door. So, when we were spoken to by the counter staff, we decided to seat ourselves and waited. Once we realized what the system was, we placed our order with some young woman with a ton of attitude at the counter. We ordered coffee and some in remarkable and unmemorable specialty waffles. The station to prepare your coffee is in a narrow hallway leading to the bathroom aka busy and not enough room to stand and prepare your coffee AND allow someone to get to the restroom. We walked across the restaraunt back to the table only to discover that the creamer was curdled. My friend went back up to the counter and notified the you woman with attitude who snapped "I just put that out" okay, but not the point. A guy came out and offered new cups of coffee and fresh creamer. So back to the narrow hallway to prepare another cup of coffee. We go back to the table, the beeper goes off, and we are excited to see what FunkNWaffles are all about. Well, the waffles we're at all crisp. They were limp, a little soggy, and a total disappointment. The chicken on the chicken and waffles seemed like just some frozen chicken strips and the bbq sauce that went with it was at best lacking flavor. The other dish was so unremarkable and disappointing I don't even remember what it was called but there were bananas, peanut butter, and honey. It wasn't plated like they were meant to go together. It was a plate with a half cooked waffle (again limp and not crispy) with bananas on top. The honey and peanut butter on the side and not enough of either.
For what you get, service and food, this place is not worth the price. In fact when we left, we weren't sure if we were supposed to bus our own table or not. And for two people to eat breakfast is was at least $25 for what?? Terrible service, unremarkable half cooked food, and attitude?
Yeah, get it together FunkNWaffles you are not as good as your attitude wants us to believe.
