I've been wanting to try this place for a while but was never in the area. Finally was nearby and went to try it togo. There were a few high tables and seats around the bar for those dining in and a lot of people doing togo/pickups. I really like the variety of options on the menu. I ordered the fried catfish and shrimp basket with lemon pepper seasoning & koolaid. It was a pretty big serving which was good. However, it was a bit too salty for me. Next time, I'll try the catfish plain and see how I like it.

They gave me a plate! I was very happy to have my meal platted, I appreciate that. Had my usual chops got one fried and one grilled. I believe the lady said they have a smothered option too, but will confirm next visit. Food was good and hot. I tried to be healthier and get veggies not mac and cheese and okra. I always like the greens, they got great flavor. Been trying to make a comeback myself on Brussel sprouts. They were always so bitter when my mother made em. Had em grilled and sautéed in some places and they were ok to good. These had more bitterness. The others I had were cut in half, I think leaving them whole during cooking may not let them release that bitter taste. That grilled chop was excellent. I think I'll get both chops grilled next time. My lady likes her fish sandwiches. She has em take the cheese off I tell her that's un-American she does it anyway. Yall try this place it's a good vibe and good people.

The Fish Sandwich Fiyahhhhhh son.!!! Music was so loud just the way I like it The waitress is such a good vibe she understands her customers and has a pleasant personality (that is so hard to find in 2024) . I am ready to come here at least once a month for my fried food fix ... Gracias

Decided to hit a yelp reviewed place to eat and it did not disappoint. The place is clean and comfortable. Our order was taken with patience as we had to ask lots of questions. We had a two piece fried chicken! Holy cow their chicken was amazing. Loved the red beans and rice. Just enough spice but not hot. Also had the garlic shrimp pasta. Creamy Alfredo sauce with a generous amount of grilled shrimp. We may not be back since our Houston. Is it was a one time deal but we'll always remember Butter Funk! Thanks!

Finally, I am able to scratch one of Keith Lee's pop-up visit restaurants off my list! If you didn't know, Keith Lee, a world renowned food critic who reviews restaurants that need exposure to the right consumers to support the existence of their small businesses made a stop in Houston last year during his tour. His marketing and reviews have turned almost folding and closing restaurants into thriving enterprises after his reviews in effect. It's an incredible narrative that you can't help applaud, so I decided to keep the energy going and partake in some comfort food on Sunday after church and see if Keith Lee was just bluffin or was he on point with his review of Butter Funk Kitchen. I really had a hankering for some really good catfish. Memories of KL's video on Butter Funk Kitchen came to mind as he bite into the fish. Rewatching the video on IG, I was sold. Online ordering site is user-friendly with various food delivery options to use for pick up or delivery. I used Grubhub for this order since I already had a debit card attached to this account. Plus, Grubhub seems to have the same prices you'd pay for the food if you walked in the restaurant for a take out order or ordered straight from the restaurant's website. Anywho, I had the estimated time for the order and drove straight there. Parking, however, is a challenge. I knew it would be since I drive through Sunnyside going to work quite frequently. I ended up parking in front of the dumpster, waiting for anyone to leave to legally park and get my order. Sure enough, someone did leave and moved my vehicle to the side of the restaurant to wait until Grubhub said my order was ready. Soon as I saw the ready notice, I hopped out and entered in. Small spot - definitely more of a grab and go location, with a small bar for serving frozen concotions. They looked good, but I didn't want to go back to my car and get money to get one. Next time. I was greeted and given my order, which was tied down and in a black bag. Impressive to me, the ticket order had the full name of my food preparer. That told me right away that Butter Funk wants you to give them credit for their food and will hold people accountable if it's not on point. Therefore, let me give credit to my server A. Johnson, who made my day with this 2 piece catfish, fried to perfection! Seasoning - just enough and not too salty. Crispy and golden fried to just the right crispyness. Plus, the filets were HUGE. They didn't cheap me by splitting a filet into 2 pieces and selling it as one. These were some for REAL filets!!! Greens were oh so flavorful and not overcooked. I don't like a bunch of meat in my greens, so a few pieces for flavor were adequate for me. Once more, the golden honey cornbread complimented my greens to perfection. I used it to sope the juice from the greens and eat every single bite. I'd agree with Keith that the macaroni and cheese is not the best, but it's not the worst I've had either. It's a little on the dry side. Smaller noodles would probably leave more creaminess and moisture in the pasta, but I promise you - it didn't get thrown away. It wasn't that bad. All in all, BFK is the real deal when it comes to confort food. I would certainly come back and get their catfish any day of the week. Great to see a small family owned business getting the attention and business they deserve.

I can't say how good and seasoned this food is enough. No words!!! So good and it comes out hot. You know it's made to order. And you know those daiquiris have a little something in them. The crown apple was really good.

My boyfriend and I stopped in here before we went to Fete Studio for paint date night. He raved about how delicious the brunch was and wanted me to try them out, so we came for a late lunch. I ordered the fried chicken, and he ordered the fried pork chop. His pork chop was perfectly seasoned and fried, and I loved his dirty rice. The Mac and cheese could have been seasoned better, and my boyfriend suggested they bake it! The fried chicken was good, but even better with hot sauce. I enjoyed the red beans and rice, and the greens could have used a little more seasoning. Overall great service and experience I will come back and try the pasta!

This is my first time here. I ordered the catfish meal with two sides. The sides I got were mashed potatoes and gumbo. The catfish was very flavorful and seasoned. I enjoyed it. The mashed potatoes were homemade and fresh. I also enjoyed that and the gumbo was very good. I also got hot mixed with lemon pepper chicken wings, which I thought were great. For my side I received the red beans and rice. I didn't care for it too much but Other people had it and really enjoyed it. So it would be fair for me to say that I am just not a person. I would skip the mac & cheese. It didn't have much flavor to me. Their entrées are very flavorful. I also really like their spiked slushy. I ordered the green apple and I loved it. I would give it a 10 out of 10. I plan to come back to get another one.

My family raves about this place so I had to try. The wings were really good including the batter! The Mac n cheese is okay - wouldn't order again. The sidecar was okay. The Hennessy daiquiri is off the chain. The Jell-O shots tasted like koolaid. The Boudain egg rolls are bomb! The customer service was great. It's small and can get packed at times but be patient...it's worth the wait. Definitely will be back to try other items.

Stopped by Butter Funk Kitchen on a whim while I was in that area after Keith Lee's recommendation and it was so good! There isn't a ton of parking but that's ok. The food is made fresh, so it can take a little while to come out.
