They sell a big special cake with rum in it. That is super delicious. I’ve never had that tasty cake before. last six generation has made this cake.

I love the aesthetics and the quirky decorations. If you dine in, pay attention to the little details scattered throughout the restaurant. I chuckled a few times on my way in and also on my way out, as I noticed different details in the decor. I enjoyed the burgers quite a bit, but I felt the price was a bit high. All in all, a good dinner outing!

Amazing experience. Food was great (we ordered mac and cheese, be aware that it is a huge portion)and the service OMG! Ellie made me believe in customer service again. She is the perfect example of how a waitress should be, funny, attentive, respectful etc etc etc 😁. The chef also approached our table which made us feel very special. The decorations are so original and funny. I will definitely be back to try their hamburger.

If you're looking for a delicious, hearty burger that's packed with flavor, look no further than the Shuffle Truffle Burger at The Funny Farm This burger is topped with savory mushrooms and melted Swiss cheese, and the truffle aioli adds a rich, decadent flavor that's hard to resist. The burger itself is cooked to perfection, with a juicy, tender center and a crispy exterior that adds just the right amount of texture. But the Shuffle Truffle Burger isn't the only standout item on the menu at [Restaurant Name]. If you're a fan of Bloody Marys, you won't want to miss the house specialty. This spicy, savory cocktail is the perfect accompaniment to the burger, with just the right amount of heat and a tangy finish that will leave your taste buds tingling. Overall, I highly recommend The Funny Farm for anyone looking for a delicious, satisfying meal. Whether you're in the mood for a juicy burger or a spicy cocktail, this restaurant has something to offer everyone.

Great food and service. Ellie was our server and she was amazings! Super kind, witty, and efficient. We had the impossible burger and Get Shorty burger we're delicious. Make sure to get yourself a fancy moctail too!

Great outdoor & indoor dining. Yummy burger 🍔 Great beer on tap 🍺 Friendly waitresses… Funny ambience. Many other things in this small place.

We stopped by for lunch for the first time today. We heard good things and were excited to have some more options in our neighborhood. We scanned the menu, placed our order with the cashier and took a seat out on the patio. There is plenty of seating inside and out but it was a beautiful day to sit outside. My husband ordered the Beef Short Rib Poutine and the Wonderbird. I had the Mother Clucker - both came with fries. The servings were plentiful and everything we had was delicious 😋 Service was wonderful and friendly. We will definitely be back!

Friendly and hilarious service specially Ellie our server she was a delight! Very much recommend this place food and drinks are delicious.

Lots of food choices & all items were delicious. Full bar & yummy cocktails. Staff are pleasant, helpful, & funny. Nice patio with vine-covered arbor & comfortable indoor seating. Loved the "El Jeffe" (Cuban sandwich melt)

A funky lil spot with good food and cooky characters. We had Ellie as a server and she made the experience unique and fun. She was also very patient when taking our order. She talked through my preferences to make sure my order was exactly what I wanted. Before we left we got stickers from another server that fit our personalities perfectly. I can't wait to come here again. We came for the burgers but I would like to go for brunch very soon.

Service and food were in point..very welcoming/friendly..upbeat environment ..highly recommend this place!

The staff is fun and the food is fun. Had the UFO burger and it was well made and entertaining to eat. It has a good floating illusion. They have a nice patio area.

The atmosphere here is ok I like the outdoor seating next to the little vineyard. Our waiter was very nice and we enjoyed the service even though they seemed really busy. Unfortunately the food quality is not great. Seemed more like bar food quality than brunch food to me.

I almost dont want to share this place with my friends, but, a select few. I had bacon in every bite of my chicken BLT wrap. The truffle fries are aromatic with garlic & my bacon cheese fries went great with an IPA. It looks like a full bar & an exceptional bar tender that specializes in Martini's!!! The cocoa drink you see in the pic was my dessert! it was so good! Everyone here is really kind & friendly which makes for a comfortable atmosphere close to home. Thank you to the funny farm restaurant & staff. You all are marvelous!!!

This place is a total undiscovered gem! The outside is unassuming but the interior is a total whimsical nostalgic wonderland! With 90s style retro items and awesome wall art all around! We walked in around Noon on Thursday without a patron in site which is an absolute travesty! The staff were absolutely amazing, so incredibly friendly and you can really tell they love this restaurant! Melanie prepared our food and to say it was decadent would be an understatement! I had the Philly Mac and my husband had the Short rib poutine. Once food was on the table all conversation stopped, all we could really do was make disbelieving eye contact as we dug in! I don’t know how this place has flown under the radar but you need to do yourself a favor and try this food ASAP!

Had an amazing dinner here tonight. Our waitress, Ellie was wonderful and provided the best service. We enjoyed the beef short rib poutine. It was amazing. A must try!
