Funki Griller Steak & Seafood Grillhouse and Cocktail Bar in Bournemouth

We like this place! This time we called in late afternoon as we were going to a show later. Gorgeous steaks and quick service with friendly staff. Going to a regular haunt for us when in town!

Food was amazing place is amazing will be booking for our wedding reception

Vinimos para una comida previa al teatro y estaba delicioso! El personal era amable y atento. La comida era preciosa, el mejor filete que hemos tenido en mucho tiempo! Las salsas y guarniciones estaban deliciosas, al igual que la cerveza y los cócteles! Sin duda volveremos aquí de nuevo cuando lleguemos a Bournemouth!

Suzanne and Izzy always give an amazing welcome to their fabulous restaurant. Service was quick, food is always impeccable and can never fault it. Top notch steaks and cooked to perfection. Cannot fault the meal. Thank you for making my birthday special xxxxxx

Fabuloso almuerzo. Súper restaurante en una gran ubicación. Date un capricho y reserva una mesa. Deliciosa comida y un ambiente maravilloso en gran compañía 😊

One of the best steakhouses I’ve ever been to in my life, the tomahawk steak is to die for. Highly recommend. Staff was very kind

We recently hired the Funki Griller food trailer for our wedding and the guests absolutely loved the food. We had mostly steak with options of sauce (blue cheese sauce is a must have), but they also provided vegan options which we were very grateful for. On the day Adam and Isi cooked for roughly 42 guests and they were absolutely brilliant, the food was incredible and their service was top quality, both quick and professional. The booking process was great, with Brooke answering any questions we had and making sure we had everything we wanted for our big day. I could not recommend Funki Griller more, the food was incredible and the service both on the day and through the booking process was amazing!

Wow! I had the best fish and chips in this restaurant. Service was quick, staff are very friendly and make you feel welcome. I'll definitely come back when I'm in the area.

Haven't been here since before Covid so a welcome return. Great service and delicious steak. Handy for both Central car park and the Pavilion!

Ambiente encantador, animado y personal muy amable. Obviamente el filete es lo suyo y lo hacen muy bien. Realmente disfruté de mi cena previa al show y espero volver de nuevo.

Great food, attentive service. Stopped off with husband for a quick meal, glad we did. I recommend the chicken liver, ribs and sundae. Food was served quickly and very hot. We will be back

Fantastic night . Many thanks to you all

BEST STEAK I’VE EVER HAD!!! We recently visited miller & carter and was totally disappointed by the food and service, we visited Funki Griller for the first time today and I can honestly say this was the best steak I have ever had in my life! Cooked to absolute perfection with so much flavour, the staff were incredible. Everyone smiling, the warmest welcome and our server Michaela was wonderful, not to mention a the food came out in less than 10 mins after ordering!!! I would recommend this place to anyone!!! I’m pleased to support a family run business, it truly shows!

Unfortunately they were understaffed on the night which meant a wait for service on drinks and ordering but when ordered the food came remarkably quickly and was lovely at a reasonable price. Place was really busy and we could see why. Well worth a visit if you are thinking about it.

I order sirloin and rideye steak, so delicious

A fantastic evening in an exceptional restaurant. A great atmosphere, phenomenal food, and wonderfully friendly, helpful service, despite us being a large group. An absolute must try if you're in the area!

This is a great place from the moment we walked through the door front of house and all the other girls & guys that work there are great and the food is fantastic my wife and I both had fillet steak best we have had in the UK. Thank you to the team behind this great place.

Excellent quality food as always. Perfectly cooked steaks & beautiful tasting salmon

They know how to cook steak. Delicious and perfectly cooked for my medium rib eye. I recommend highly this place for birthdays, anniversary or just get together with friends and families. I will go back when I visited Bournemouth again. They have good deal on Monday to Thursday, which we missed and they didn't mention it. £35 for 2 people you get steak and complimentary chips or rice or baked potatoes. Very good deal.

Went there last night for a meal, the starter was great (had the scallops) ordered a medium rare ribeye, the cut of meat I got was chewy, full of grissle and to be honest, inedible. I don't think it was ribeye either, but poor lighting made this difficult to verify. It was more like roadkill. Didn't create a scene, just told the waitress when she asked why I'd pretty much left most of it. She immediately offered a different steak (wasn't interested in this) I asked to just not have to pay for most of it, as it was still on the plate. This was met with a refusal, and offer of "free dessert" instead when the bill came. I'm diabetic. Staff were friendly enough, atmosphere was nice with live music, but the food quality was abysmal for the price tag. Won't be returning. There are much better places out there for food.

Been here quite a few times now when I visit Bournemouth from Gloucestershire They always have great food and the staff are so polite.

Fantastic food and fantastic services best steak house I haver been to.

Great service lovely steaks! One of the best pina colada’s I ever ever had and also the most beautiful espresso too :) Our steaks were delicious and the peppercorn sauce was yummy! Really enjoyed our visit.

Would recommend not coming here. I asked for well done rib eye steak and it was still pink I tried to eat it but was also really hard chewy and hard. I told waitress when she asked if we finished I said we had but I couldnt eat steak as was still pink and asked for well done and she just said sorry lol didn’t offer take to take it off the bill or offer to make me another. Paid 22 pound for portion or chips. I may aswel of stayed at home for Valentine’s Day

My boyfriend and I had a lovely time celebrating valentines a day early. The staff were very friendly and helpful with their recommendations and the food was divine. We will endeavour to come back every time we visit Bournemouth.

The place has an amazing atmosphere and the staff were really friendly, funny and helpful. We could see the steaks being prepared, they were perfectly cooked and tasted phenomenal. Sauces were good too. We were just sad that we were too full for dessert.

Vish and crew were outstanding, the food was amazing. Coming back very soon to try the challenge. Thank you all for wicked time

Beautiful place one of the best steak restaurants I’ve ever been to the staff were very welcoming and made to feel really welcome the food was perfect cooked to perfection will definitely be back again

Lovely upon entrance clean and fresh Food was special and well presented, Service was great until ! ordered drinks seemed to be forgotten

Wow ! We felt like we were on holiday the place is stunning with live music on this particular night ( Saturday ) the food to die for… best steak we have ever had ! The servers were so attentive and catered to our every need and so lovely ! The ambience the staff the food were above and beyond will be returning regularly and very well priced !

Had a fantastic meal for a anniversary celebration . Didn't realise they had live music when we booked and it was great.

Excellent Birthday meal great food friendly staff only downside very noisy table next to us

Was a quiet evening so the atmosphere wasn't so greay

We had a very delicious meal. Steaks cooked perfectly. Really good choice for the kids too! Staff were so friendly & helpful. Great atmosphere. The “Griller Cam” was very poplar with our children watching food being cooked! Was a fun dining experience, really clean and an overall great dining experience.

Staying in Bournemouth for work. Been ac while since I last visited so used Google for recommendations. So glad I found this place. The food was excellent as were the service team.

Amazing food, allergy friendly (I have a citrus, peanut and seafood allergy). The food was well priced for the quality and the atmosphere is fun and friendly. The lighting isn’t harsh but a more yellow tone which makes the experience very relaxed. My favourite steak place in the south by far.

A friend and I went for a Sunday roast here yesterday and all I can say is wow. Genuinely the best roast I’ve had out anywhere (and I’ve had quite a few) very generous portions, Yorkshire pudding as standard, veg served on the side and extra gravy without even asking!! Fabulous service, good price and happy tummy's all round. We will definitely be returning and I highly recommend trying the roasts here!! 🥰

Quite disappointed with our visit this time. We ordered the spatchcock chicken for the three of us, server returned saying sorry didn't have any, but did have Butterfield breast of chicken, we said that's ok. Just spoilt the evening thought as the chicken wasn't tender ! Will give F/G another try as we like the atmosphere there. Maybe Steak next time. If you have removed the Spatch/chicken from your menu, Maybe remove from printed menu saving disappointment after ordering

It was a really pleasant experience at Funki Griller, they do have glutenfree options as well. I tried the Pork Belly and Fillet as well as choco brownie and all was very exquisit (gosh the fries were soooooo good, super hot and crispy which I love plus they are made in a separate fryer). Tasted awesome and was worth the price. Staff was very friendly and helpful and the atmosphere quite cosy as well. Can definitely recommend! In terms of improvements, my friends were having the cheese cake and in comparison to other places that do cheesecake it didn't blew them away (very dense, not super fluffy). I was also sad that they couldn't tell if the hot choco was GF or not. If these could be improved, it would be great! Otherwise really good place, definitely recommend giving it a try!

Been to Funki Griller at least 6/7 times. Sometimes on my own, sometimes to celebrate with friends for a graduation. I've honestly enjoyed my experience every single time, tasty steak cooked to my liking. Tried the sirloin, ribeye, tomahawk. All very good. 2x better value than Miller & Scammers! The staff are competent and friendly, and serve me with a warm smile everytime. Cheers!

Stunning steak - the best I have had in a long time. Service was slightly "iffy" - didn't realise that placing the menu down on the seat rather than the table indicates that I was not ready to order yet, however this was firmly corrected by staff....!

Came here new years eve 2024, booked table at 7pm, didn't leave restaurant till 10pm. When arrived we did wait for front of house for about 5 minutes, which we were not mad about since it was a busy night. We were put on a table right in the middle of the restaurant, so all the waitresses and servers kept walking past us with clean and dirty plates. Waiting for drinks and food took at least 10-15 minutes. But we didn't mind since the food was lovely. Mushroom burger was cheesy and succulent, while my partner said his steak was nice. But it did take him a while to chew. Tried bone marrow for the first time, I really liked it but thought it was too salty and maybe less parmasan would of helped. Finished our food and we sat there for 20 minutes for a waitress to take our plates and ask if we wanted to see the dessert menu. But in those 20 minutes they sat down at least another 5 tables around us. The singer sang two sets and was already on his second break. I kinda blamed the seating since the servers walked past us 100 times, but didn't take any notice due to hands being full and it being new years eve. I did also see a table in front of me actually go up to a waitress and ask if they could take there order since they were waiting for so long. 20 minutes past and a waitress finally came, we ordered drinks while also asking for dessert menu. Waitress left, went to the table next to us, took their dessert menus away then walked and we didn't see her again for 5 more minutes. When dessert menu finally came, we ordered bread and butter pudding, and a ice cream sundae. I found bread and butter pudding mixed, it was a tiny portion, with one half cold and the middle was hot. It came with custard, which was cold. I didn't want to wait another 20 minutes to ask Waitress to warm up custard for me. My partner found his sundae alright but said it was already starting to melt by the time it arrived. Our bill came to £113.50. Which we thought was good value and no service charge added which was a bonus as we didn't think the service was brilliant anyway Overall, drinks and savoury food were great, no complaints. But improvement on dessert and service could be appreciated.

Delicious food, smiling and polite staff, great place.

Fantastic New Year’s Eve meal, steak was delicious. Will definitely be coming back. 💯 recommend 🥰🥩

Fantastic is an understatement! THE best fillet steak in the UK. Love this place! Fastatic people who run it. Food and atmosphere are second to none! Brilliant place! We will be back soon! 🙂

No words needed other than out of this world !!!

Very busy as you expect prior to Christmas, but good venue and great staff

Excellent restaurant close to the centre. We had the Sunday roast which was probably the best one we've had out before - even the kids enjoyed. Highly recommend this gem!

The staff were friendly and knowledgeable. The food was amazing and good value for money. The steaks were cooked to perfection! We will definitely return.

First time to Funki Griller and won't be the last. Food was excellent! Our party of four had steaks and the chicken kebab. We were very early so not huge amount of atmosphere on arrival but by the time we left at just before 7pm it was getting very busy. We will be back!

Our waitress was Aime. She was excellent. The service was quick and it was very simple to order. The steaks were perfect and delicious and fairly priced for what you receive. For a starter we got the pan seared scallops and it was like eating butter; melted in our mouths was gorgeous! For mains we got the two 21oz rump steaks and portabello mushrooms with the chips as sides. Simply fabulous and delicious. We will be going back no doubt. And don't forget to tip.

Great service, lovely staff. Very fast food service but excellent quality food! 100% recommend. Great prices also. Will definitely be coming back.

My wife and I took our large family to the lovely Funki Griller restaurant and as always the food was fantastic. The service was excellent we wouldn't expect anything different. We had a great evening with live music what more could we ask for. THE VERY HAPPY TRICKETT FAMILY

Been a customer since day 1 at the original restaurant, original staff and chef make the place. Incredible food, atmosphere and theme. One of my favourite places.

Amazing food and vish was very helpful and had great service. The steak 🥩 was perfect 👌 . Thanks again we will be back soon.

Have visited a few times and always very pleased with our experience. Servers are friendly and attentive and good quality is excellent. Our favourite steakhouse!

Always a great welcome and fantastic service The food is cooked in a swift time but always to perfection and amazing taste.

Great venue, food and service was excellent. Will be back again when staying in Bournemouth.

The food was amazing..Best onion rings I've ever had . Steak cooked perfectly ! And a very impressive Irish coffee ☕️

Absolutely love this place, the steaks here are unmatched in Bournemouth. The presentation is amazing and the staff are always friendly.

Fantastic night out. Great food. Great service. Great music. Highly recommended!

Steak was perfectly cooked and very tasty, chef knows how to cook a steak properly. Staff friendly and couldn't do enough for you, good service and well looked after

I thoroughly enjoyed my steak, and my wife really liked her chicken kebab. The food was tasty, with generous portion sizes, and it arrived promptly with friendly service. The wine was reasonably priced, adding to the overall enjoyable experience. I would definitely visit again!

Lovely find, good food and amazing staff. Thank you

Was my first time, certainly won't be my last. The food was delicious. The ribeye steak was the highest quality and cooked to perfection. The onion rigs were the best I have ever had. The staff are super friendly and welcoming Can't wait to return

My husband and I shared the platter of which we have had a few times prior now - however this time it was vile - the only way i can describe it is as a plate of gristle. Only to informed that is how the meat should be! I don’t think so. The lamb was fatty and mostly gristle the sirloin was also mostly gristle - no decent meat - the ribs were burnt and I didn’t even attempt the chicken.

Nice Vibe...starter and steak were good. However, I may have ordered the wrong cut of meat. Overall it was okay.

Went into bar area staff were polite and welcoming price good compared to other bars in area

Overall a good experience, just one preference rather than a criticism on the food side, the rack of BBQ ribs was pretty much the same as other restaurants we have eaten at in the past. If you are familiar with the Hussar Grill in Rondebosch, Cape Town, now owned by Spur Group, their ribs are full racks, they provide full length ribs. In UK restaurants they seem to be cut in half length ways passing as a full rack. Also, Hussar Grill par boil their ribs for 20 minutes in their 'Jungle Juice' marinade, which makes them beautifully tender, then they are char-grilled on the fire before serving (the meat almost falls off the bone). I have a copy somewhere I must dig out, of the jungle juice recipe I obtained in South Africa through a connection and would be happy to share it if you are interested. Great restaurant otherwise generally, many thanks for a lovely evening.

Absolutely wonderful restaurant. Staff could not have been friendlier, their customer service was second to none. Food was truly wonderful and all cooked exactly how we like it. We will 100% visit again and recommend to all.

We recently visited Funki Griller in Bournemouth, and unfortunately, it was a disappointing experience from start to finish. Upon arrival, we were asked to wait in the bar area so they could "prepare a table," even though the restaurant was nearly empty, with only two other small groups present. After a 15-minute wait, we were finally seated at a table that had been ready well before we arrived. The service was incredibly slow. It took another 15 minutes before anyone came over to take our drink order, despite the restaurant being almost empty. This set the tone for the rest of our evening. Our starters were mediocre at best. The scallops were drenched in oil, which ruined any flavor they might have had. When it came to the main course, the disappointment only deepened. The Rib Eye steak was comparable to a Wetherspoons flash steak had - cheap quality meat that tasted as if it had been deep-fried or drenched in oil before grilling. The chips, though cooked well, had a stale taste, likely from fryer oil that hadn’t been changed in ages. The side salad we ordered looked and tasted like someone had thrown up on it. The “Peppercorn Sauce” was just gravy and pepper corns. The most concerning part of the evening was the kitchen’s hygiene. There’s a live stream of the kitchen displayed in the restaurant, and we noticed staff preparing raw seafood, steak, and side dishes without cleaning the work surfaces between. The grill looked filthy and appeared as if it hadn’t been cleaned in a long time. Given these serious hygiene issues, I’ll be reporting them to the local health authorities. Overall, our experience at Funki Griller was well below any reasonable expectation. Very Poor service, subpar food, and concerning cleanliness issues. To add insult to injury, the bill came to an astonishing £120, which felt diabolical considering the low quality of food, slow service, and poor taste. For what we paid, we expected a far higher standard. This experience left us feeling completely ripped off. Funki Griller was an absolute letdown.

Great food, loved having the choice of a jacket potato and coleslaw with my steak. Steak was cooked to perfection. Friendly service too. Only thing that let it down was an overriding smell, maybe air freshener?, which was awful.

Excellent food, and service. ( once we got our heads round the menu!) Staff very helpful.

Found this restaurant during a weekend break in Bournemouth and what a find, forget Miller and Carter and try this place. Its buzzing and has a very happy feel. We had x2 steaks on offer and a few pints . A fantastic place to eat

Absolutely outstanding roast dinner. The meat was so tender and tasty the vegetables were amazing. Roast potatoes were crispy and the gravy was to die for highly recommended.

Absolutely amazing, staff are polite and welcoming, food was perfect in every way and believe food is very reasonable for what you pay

A lovely restaurant, great service and gorgeous food. Would totally recommend for a special occasion

Good food but not great food. I would recommend visiting as the steak is good and service also good. I was greeted quickly on arrival, after waiting for a few minutes ordered my drink and food. 21oz Sirloin - ordered medium rare and it came perfectly cooked and well presented. Served with a tiny portion of chips and with a large steak I was left wanting more and was still a little hungry. I ordered a Jack Daniel’s sauce to accompany the steak but it tasted like a just standard bottled sauce decanted into a jug rather than a home made sauce like I was expecting. At £36 for the steak plus £3.95 for the sauce I felt it didn’t represent good value. However the steak was good. Fresh Passion Fruit Cheesecake: nice enough but appeared to be more ‘fresh’ from the freezer than fresh from the chef (maybe I’m wrong?) Don’t misinterpret me, the meal was lovely and I enjoyed the main course and dessert but at the prices charged I would expect a little more effort, and a few more chips. Still good and so would still recommend. Thank you :)

OMW! Okay so hear me out... I hate a Sunday roast at a pub. The meat is too dry, the gravy is too runny and it's just not good. But today... Today I have found THE perfect Sunday roast Funki Griller The meat is tender, the portion generous and the vegetables perfectly cooked. It is to die for! Compliment to the chef! I now need a wheelbarrow to get me home 😂🤣😂🤣

Best steak in town hands down!!!

Absolutely amazing food, beautiful restaurant and friendky staff. My husband and his friend had a steak here on Saturday and raved so much we booked for the following day for the roast and omg it didn't dissapoint. I would recommend this restaurant you really need to try this place AMAZING

Funki griller were at the top of the orchid hotel recommendation list. We trusted them and tried this place. We are glad we did, they really know their job. I can say it was the best steak we have ever eaten. Watching the chef is also a plus! You watch how they prepare your meal for you.

Great fun, great food and great service, what else can you ask for? Doesn't look much from the outside but you won't be disappointed! And there's a special surprise in the toilets 🚻

Fantastic service, Great steak and some free entertainment thrown in for good measure 😎👍

Very disappointed as this restaurant was recommended to us 4 out of 6 of our steaks were either cold , raw or inedible When we complained we were asked if we would like a free round of drinks to compensate on the condition we paid for the inedible steak …… Sorry I won’t be returning

Fantastic Steaks, Wonderfully cooked, lovely restaurant, definitely get yourself there, Quite expensive but the quality of the food is top notch

Lovely Grill house, friendly staff, fast service and lovely food. Very impressed

The chef here is a genius the steak is cooked to perfection and the blue cheese salad is amazing 👍 and onion rings massive in fresh batter so good on the whole this place is worth visiting 100%

Great food, great service… we did the ribeye deal at @£35 for two ribeyes and chips… w cheese sauce was lovely as were the Mac and cheese.. Highly recommended..

Top marks, visited this place recently, in a group of 15 people. The service was superb, it was quick efficient and polite. The food was to die for, I didn't here one bad comment from anyone. I also thought the portion sizes were good,and the prices very reasonable. 👏👏keep up the good work.

A fantastic welcoming and amazing service and food, we were a group of 15 which we had no trouble in booking a large table for all. We were met as we arrived and the welcome was warm and friendly, all bar one person ordered steaks which arrived for everyone 20 minutes after the orders were place, everyone’s steaks were cooked to perfection with amazing flavour, the sides were equally amazing, all in all we all said we would definitely be booking again on our next trip to Bournemouth. My only regret is that there isn’t a Funki Griller restaurant in my home town Bristol as I would be eating there all the time. In closing, great service, fantastic stake and great value

Fabulous evening at Funki Griller. 10/10 for service, food and ambience. Michaela was great. Highly recommended.

Brilliant restaurant 5☆ all round. Great food. Lovely staff. Even a bit of live music thrown in.

Steak didn't impress me particularly, felt like I paid £80 for two heads for a somewhat average dining experience

Excellent food and service we are regulars and cannot fault the food or service every time. Shout out tonight to Cameron who went above and beyond but all staff were amazing as ever thanks guys

I can only say, this place restored our faith in steak... amazing... Staff were so polite and informative and helpful... I loved it. Steak was cooked to perfection, tender, juicy and delicious:0)

Great little place. Lovely steak meal. Friendly stafd

We had an amazing experience at Funky Griller today! Our party of 12 was welcomed with such warmth and friendliness from the staff—they were incredibly accommodating and made sure we had everything we needed. Despite the large group, the service was impeccable, and we never felt rushed. Now, onto the steak—it was simply incredible! Cooked to perfection, full of flavor, and hands down one of the best steaks we’ve had in a long time. Every bite was a delight. If you’re a steak lover, this place is a must-visit. Thank you, Funky Griller, for making our gathering so special. We’ll definitely be back!

Visited here on Saturday, beautiful food and front of house were fantastic, friendly, welcoming and good at their job, exactly what front of house should be! Will 100% be returning here to see these nice people when I’m back in Bournemouth! Reece

The food was excellent and the service was amazing, we had a fantastic meal. Thank you Funki Griller 😀
