The Funky Food Shack is a cute place in a part of downtown I never really visit.
I love the atmosphere, it's just funky and eclectic enough without being overpowering. I especially like the outdoor area and can't wait to hang out there with dogs and friends once the heat dies down.
I was a little disappointed with the food on our first visit... nothing at all wrong with it, but it just seemed a little basic. The menu has a selection of sandwiches with fun names, but a lack of side dishes (basic potato or macaroni salad), interesting drinks, or anything out of the ordinary left me wanting more. Our sandwiches were fine, but didn't stand out above or beyond anything I ate at home as a kid.
What I would love to see is for the Funky Food Shack to become a brunch spot (among other specialties... drinks in the front or back yard would be awesome if they had a liquor license). The outside atmosphere comes close to matching what Local Breeze used to offer, and I could see myself there every week or so if they put some effort into a great brunch menu.
I'm not sure when they opened as the place seems pretty new. The woman who took our money, presumably the owner, seemed to have an interest in improving.
I look forward to going back!
