Wait…the fries are now fried in beef tallow? Yikes for vegetarians! Are tortilla chips fried in that as well??

Stopped in for drinks with friends, ended up staying for over 3 hours. Had the giant pretzel, highly recommend. Charley was our server, and she was delightful, attentive, friendly - I would definitely come back again.

I have been here for lunch many times but rarely in the evening. We stopped in on Saturday night with the intention of having a quick drink however there was an amazing 80s cover band performing. There was a very reasonable $5 cover charge and there were plenty of staff so the service was fast and efficient. The cocktails were excellent and the whole experience was so fun!

Our server was terrific, we hadn't had brunch at Finn's In awhile. We were all looking forward to the superb pancakes. They've been replaced on the menu by lemon ricotta pancakes, which aren't our cup of tea. She suggested ordering the kids' pancakes, which were great! They were the recipe we were all looking forward to eating.

Finn's was surprisingly busy for a Tuesday night but then again we don't go out that much on Tuesdays. Got a table in the front by the bar and was quiet enough to have a good conversation with my 3 buddies. Enjoyed the pineapple, express IPA and their amber ale but was shocked at how small the chicken tacos were. I usually get the Mickey burger but wanted to try something different. Overall a good experience but will stick to the Mickey burger next time.

If you’re wondering where to have an event, look no further than Mickey Finns! I threw a retirement party last week and it could not have been easier thanks to Kristen C. From my first email inquiry, until the billing - Kristen was responsive, knowledgeable, and courteous. She helped me to pick out a menu that fit my budget and worked with me to plan all the details. When the big day came, everything went smoothly and the guest of honor (and all the rest of us) enjoyed food, drinks, and fun without having to worry about a thing.

Always wonderful! Menu has been enhanced - which is great. Beer is excellent. Service is always spot on. Our go to place.

Will always be one of my favorite places. But the fish fry changed. Fish was ok, but the old recipe was better. Cost was $22.50 which is way too much for a fish fry and a $2 service fee was also added to my bill. Will be back for the beer, but will likely go elsewhere for a fish fry

Used to Be Amazing, But It's Just Not the Same My family has been coming to this restaurant for years, and it used to be one of our absolute favorites. The flavors...comfortable and familiar, the portions generous, and the menu had this perfect balance of bar fare and comfort food. Sadly, since the new chef took over, it feels like a completely different place. Many of the old menu items are gone or have been “reimagined.” Some of the new dishes sound good on paper, but they just don't deliver. Despite the suggestion the kitchen is using more fresh ingredients, the flavors feel muted. The PIZZA—which used to be our absolute go-to—is now a shadow of its former self: dry, store bought crust, flavorless sauce, boring cheese...simply lacking that balance it once had. The service is still great, and the staff is as friendly as ever, but even they seem aware that something has shifted. I overheard another table talking about how disappointed they were as well. We really want to root for this place because it holds so many good memories for our family, but it's hard to justify coming back when the food no longer matches the price—or the hype it used to have. Here's hoping they can find their footing again.
