FunBurger & BBQ

Funburger was kind of fun but not our favorite of similar places.
We're vegetarians so always excitded and appreciative when a burger restaurant offers an option for us.
Funburger has a Beyond patty available, so we were in! My wife had the Beyond Fun Burger with a gluten free bun.
(Thus ticking all of her boxes.) I had the BBQ Fun Burger (with a Beyond Patty).
Both were good. The fries were not great..coated (which we don't like) and definitely overcooked. I liked that there were plenty of different kinds of beer options on draft. They've got a ton of things on their menu...maybe too much...pizzas, ribs...all kinds of things beyond what you'd expect from a burger place...that may be appealing to some but gave me the impression a little bit like they're just throwing everything at the wall to see what sticks...the atmosphere and design of the dining rooms was a little all over the place too...a kind of sad, very minimal, arcade set up in one of the rooms.
All in all a little too brightly lit. The service was okay...the staff was friendly enough but also young and you get the sense (especially if you're getting all crazy and ordering vegetarian patty's on burgers or doing anything out of the box) that it's not quite what they're used to and it takes a little extra time and questions to make sure they've got down what you want. There are a lot of other places in the SCV to get vegetarian burgers...most feel a little nicer and there was nothing particularly unique about Funburger that would have it edge itself out over the other available choices nearby.

Owner response

If I could, I would rate this place 3.5.
The atmosphere seemed neat and the food was decent, but the prices and just ok service really determined the score.
Cashier was pleasant, but not friendly, other employees hung out and had conversations at the cash register, including to our cashier, as we were ordering.
The back room had a decent array of games and an air hockey table, which was nice to see.
Had an issue with a game taking our tokens, which the staff replaced, but didn't put a sign up on the machine.
Food was good (the garlic fries!) and it came pretty quickly.
We went back for the soft serve dessert, since it was our child's birthday, and was given a small, two-fingers of ice cream - not at all worth the cost and nothing near the pictures someone else had posted.
Very disappointing.
Not sure if we will be back but overall it is an ok place.
Might be better as a place to just have a drink and play some games than a place to bring the family as we did.

Awesome place.
First time and soon to be regular customer.
My wife’s car battery died and she came in for a drink to escape the heat while I drove from canyon country to jump (ended up replacing) the battery.
Kevin was an amazing server.
He was very attentive while I fixed the issue with the battery and came back to an ice cold water and beer.
They have an entire wall of beer and bottles of wine at good prices.
We ended up getting the Cali fun burger and it was one of the best burger I’ve had in a minute! Thank you Kevin and staff for everything.
