Finnegan's Grill & Irish Pub

If you have never been here - go. If you were here years ago and it was inconsistent ITS CHANGED. Doug the current owner took a hang out that had a bad kitchen and put processes in place to improve it. The food is now good all the time. Burgers, fish and chips, wings and specials very good. Sub out fries to the steamed veggies - they are amazing.

Alcohol is fairly priced. Ample parking. Indoor and outdoor seating. Locals are friendly. Web site is updated regularly. They even have Euchre twice a month.

I was going to wait until our second visit to this restaurant before writing a review. Our visit was yesterday - St. Patrick's Day - the one day a year that an Irish Pub should shine. Sadly, this one was dull and terribly overwhelmed. For an Irish Pub, St. Patrick's Day is the one day a year that it should be at its absolute best. Finnegan's failed at every level.

There was no indoor seating, so we were seated outside. Okay, the weather was perfect for outdoor eating even though we sat in the hot sun with no shade. So how our food got delivered before any other nearby table, even though we were the last ones seated, was a mystery. The table to our right never got all their food, even as we were paying our bill and leaving. The table to our left got food from many other tables that they didn't order and didn't want.

As a cook, I know that corned beef is sliced thin for a sandwich and thick for an entree such as corned beef and cabbage. Finnegan's had it backwards. Fortunately, the flavor was good. However, when you ask for mustard in an Irish pub, the last thing you expect to get is French's Yellow crap that you normally wouldn't even put on a hot dog unless it was for a five-year-old.

The cabbage was the cheap stuff - white, no green - but there was plenty of it on the plate. Twice as much as the meat. One small potato and two large onions. Onions?

The rest of the menu was interesting and we're still tempted to go back, even after the epic failure of yesterday's lunch. All I can say, is try Finnegan's on ANY day other than St. Patrick's.

So from the outside it's has another strip mall decor but in the inside it's a proper mini Irish pub. It has the feel of an Irish beer drinking joint. Tried the stuffed eggs ... pretty decent. Had some Guinness... always always great.

The everyday specials looked wonderful... will be back for their Friday Fish Fry.

The bartender (Jason) was really cool, welcoming and friendly which is such a bonus.

Yeah strip mall Irish Pub ... I'm in!!


Will be back

The Manager waited on us tonight. He was great! He was helpful and gave us some great menu suggestions. He checked back on us often and made sure we had what we needed in regards to food and drink. We were very happy with our service and the food too! We will definitely be back!

Great service. Decent pours (I'm a Guinness guy), friendly staff. Was there on a random night AND a Trivia night. Great atmosphere. Had the Shepherds Pie night one (5/5) and the bangers on night 2 (also 5/5). Tricia was a blast and encouraged interaction. Not silly-crowded, but full. Will absolutely return.

Just wanted to give Jason, the GM, a huge shout out for making right by our order last night! They were super busy and he went out of his way to make sure our food was hot, what we ordered, and threw in some extras to make up for being out of something we ordered. We really appreciated the extra effort he went to ensuring we were happy! We will definitely be back - we were VERY happy with our food and the service by Jason was awesome!

We came for the trivia and waited 6 hours for our receipts to come back, AND the bar took forever to get drinks to us. It was super fun at trivia the only thing that ruined it was the super slow service. We spent a majority of our night waiting for the service to stay on top of our table. Food was ok and drinks were okay too, it's just the service that's so damn slow we can't even enjoy ourselves.

My first time coming to Finnegan's; on a date night with my wife. We came here the day after Christmas and they were understaffed. Upon arrival we weren't seated but told to have a seat wherever we wanted. There's a cozy sitting area a few steps up and the table we wanted was still dirty from the previous party sitting there so we had to get a servers attention to have it cleaned.

Finnegan's is a great place to come drink and watch the game with friends or have lunch/dinner with family. The bar is big and there a bunch of Big TVs for your viewing pleasure. Each night they have something going on; Texas hold 'em, karaoke and trivia depending on the night.

They have a happy hour 4-8pm everyday and we came between these hours to experience it. Who doesn't like to get a good deal on food and drinks.
After viewing the menu we asked about the HH beers and a couple of the beers weren't available and the price didn't match what was written on the menu.

We ordered chicken tenders with tots, a fried onion ring basket and a full slab of ribs. The tenders were crisp and juicy and the tots were savory and soft. The onion rings were disappointing because these was a bunch of the breading and little onion so the proportion was off. The onion ring batter is spicy so be mindful when ordering them if you have a sensitivity like my wife does. The ribs come out on this huge impressive platter and could easily feed 2-4 people depending on how hungry you are. They come with seasoned fries (old bay seasoning) and slaw. The old bay has spicy seasoning in it so we asked for them to be switched out for tots which aren't spicy. We opted for the honey bbq flavor because that was the only sauce that wasn't spicy but you have other options.

A few days ago one of my girlfriends wanted to meet here to grab a few drinks and catch up. This place gives me Bar Rescue vibes. I need to contact Jon Taffer to come and save this place. OK so first things first, we walked in and stood at the front for a few minutes, unbeknownst to us there's a sign that says seat yourself. Once we realize this we go to a booth by the window. Our waiter comes over and the whole time seems to be either new or confused or just plain forgetful. He didn't seem to know much except the specials. He just gave me the iPad to look through the options myself and didn't seem to really know too much. My girlfriend ordered a Malibu Baybreeze and that is not at all what she got. If the bar or the bar tender didn't know what went in the drink they should've simply asked. The food was mediocre as was the service. Everything was slow from getting the drinks, to the food, to even getting plates and silverware to eat. I have no intention on coming back here unless Jon Taffer is there to help them. This place sucks

I understand mistakes are made in this business but it is what you do when they are made. This is not the first time I have placed an order and when I went to pick it up the order wasn't even started. Tonight was no different. We placed our order and went it to pick it up and it wasn't ready. They hadn't even started cooking the order which one order was wrong. We were thanked for waiting an hour for our food. I can assure you that I will never order food from Finnegans again.
There are way to many good restaurants with excellent customer service in the area to deal with this poor service.
