I honestly HATE to leave a bad review, especially now when most small businesses are struggling. However, I feel the need to about Finnegan's. PROS: The food and drinks are cheap if you are looking for a greasy treat and if they ever serve you. CONS: Honestly, the food is only "good" compared to other mediocre greasy foods. The service is EXTREMELY slow and the staff is incredibly rude. They certainly pick and choose who they treat nicely and who they pay attention to. I have paid VERY close attention to how people of color are treated here and it is not great--never is. I have also paid attention to how I have been treated here, and in short, if I am with "locals" or "regulars", the service is fast and comes with a smile. When I was there with my other friends this past Friday, (I have quite a diverse group of friends) to try a menu item-- It was about 4:50pm and it was NOT busy at all. We waited 15 minutes and no one came to us. My friend finally went up to the bar and ordered us a few beers. The "bartender" was rude and acted bothered at the fact we even wanted to order anything. She then tossed a menu on our table and did not say a word to us. 30+ minutes later, we STILL had not had anyone take our order. Meanwhile, another set of people came in and they were sat down and served immediately. We decided to leave and eat at Kith & Kin. I will not be returning to this establishment EVER again. There are better, friendlier, more fun places to grab a drink and food within walking distance.
In short, all I have to say is YIKES. To be this horrible when you serve everything out of a fryolator & serve beer out of...
Read moreThis was our first visit. It’s a small pub in Hudson. There’re seat-yourself benches, high-top tables, a bar, & 2 coin-op pool tables. The atmosphere is nice and clean, comparable to your average pub. It’s a little echoey, but that’s typical of this type of setting.
Our total (pre-tax, pre-tip) bill was $44.50. This was fair for our order of: Hendrick’s & tonic Margarita (watermelon) Nachos w/ grilled chicken Finn’s burger
Adult Beverages: The Gin & Tonic wasn’t too bad. The watermelon margarita was a bit strong and tart.
Food: I felt the nachos were your average, pub-style nachos. Not too bad, but nothing great. I’d order them again if I were in the area and needed a quick snack. Jennie thought they were lackluster altogether and would not. We both felt the burger was OK, at best. The bun and toppings (LTPO) were all good. The meat was quite reminiscent of a lower-quality, frozen, store-bought patty. It was juicy, but there wasn’t any flavor to it. The side of onion rings that came with the burger were quite delicious… the best part of the meal. They were thick cut in a tasty, thinner batter.
Service: Our server was also the bartender. She was friendly and attentive. She also took our order, including the changes, from memory. This always impresses me.
Overall, it’s a decent little local place to stop in for a quick bite, a drink, and maybe shoot some pool, but we won’t drive the hour again to make a special trip there. We’re giving it 3/5 stars, as that’s the average/median on the...
Read moreMy family and I stopped in for dinner tonight. We were looking for "cheap eats" after roller skating, but the food quality was far from "cheap."
The bartender came over and took our drink order. Soon after that, we order our meals. We ordered mozzarella sticks for the table, my husband got a large order of garlic buffalo wings, my daughter got a small chicken tender order, and I ordered a burger with fries.
We received our drinks right away (soda, water, and lemonade). Within 15 minutes, our food came, and it looked delicious! Mozzarella sticks looked homemade and tasted great. They came with marinara and vodka sauce. I wasn't a big fan of the vodka sauce.
The burger was open faced with lettuce, tomato, onion, pickles, american cheese, Mayo on the side, and french fries. The burger was well seasoned, perfectly cooked, and roll was fluffy with sesame seeds. The French fries were perfect as well, with a little bit of seasoning.
My husband's boneless wings were very good - not too spicy. Big portions as well. My daughter's chicken tenders (same as husband's, but plain) were crunchy and delicious.
We were very impressed and satisfied, as it was the first thing we ate all day. We highly recommend...
