Funderburk’s Café and Catering in Greensboro, North Carolina – A Review

I'm such a FOODIE, you guys! I am always ready to write restaurant reviews, discussing the food at new restaurants that my family and I have tried. I really should start a blog just for that niche but I'll go ahead and continue chatting about it here on mfmru.blogspot.com and on HubPages, for now. It is clear that I have been talking about FOOD just as much as I have been talking about movies, fashion and music on the blog. Lol.

Today, I'd like to talk to you about Funderburk's Catering.


Funderburk’s Catering is a family owned and operated business in Greensboro, North Carolina. It is said to have been in business since around 1989.

Funderburk’s Catering has locations on North Church Street as well as Americhase Drive in Greensboro, North Carolina. Funderburk’s Catering features ‘soul food’ options such as mashed potatoes, French fries, green beans, sweet potatoes, macaroni and cheese, corn bread, fried chicken, fried fish and more. I just love to eat some really delicious soul food.

Using a buy one entrée get one entrée free (BOGO) coupon for Funderburk’s Catering, as featured in the Attractions restaurant coupon book, my family and I recently took a quick trip down to Funderburk’s Catering for the first time ever.

We went to the Funderburk’s Catering location that is on North Church Street. The business there has over a 98% rating from the health inspector and upon entering the restaurant, one can see several “Safe Serve” certificates (certifications for serving food safely) are framed and on display. Many of the individuals’ certificates are holding the Funderburk last name, emphasizing how many people in the same family are working at the establishment. There are also some group photos of the staff, adorning the walls.

We went to the restaurant on a Saturday afternoon and thankfully, it was not overly busy or crowded in there at the time. We were there for approximately one hour. Now, the website advertises so many menu selections with meat such as beef ribs and desserts such as coconut cake and banana pudding cake.

Having previewed the online menu, the beef ribs and coconut cake are both items that I had in mind for ordering at Funderburk’s Catering but when we arrived there, unfortunately, no such selections were available. There were no desserts at all and the cashier said that there would be some available “tomorrow”, the day after we were there – Sunday. We had no plans to be returning to that location again so soon. The beef ribs were also unavailable as was the beef stew and any meat other than fried chicken.

Ultimately, we decided to order fried fish entrees. One entrée was fried fish whiting and the other entrée was fried flounder fish. These entrees are each offered with two sides and we selected French fries and macaroni and cheese as the sides for each fish entrée.

Each of these entrees were around $11.99 each and remember, we were using a BOGO coupon. It felt like a great deal. The food portions were generous and the food was truly delicious. The macaroni and cheese was great in a baked style with a cheesy crust that was very tasty. The fish was fresh and had an excellent taste. Customers are also allowed to select from hush puppies, a slice of bread or corn bread for an added bread side. We selected corn bread and the corn bread was light, fluffy and delicious, served warm and wrapped in wax paper as shown in the food photos below.
We have no plans to return to Funderburk’s Catering again anytime very soon, but we were indeed very pleased with the food from Funderburk’s Catering and we will keep the place in mind for some time in the farther future.
