Finnegan's Grille & Pub

My girlfriend and I ate here this past Sunday. It was our 1st time eating here as well. Everything was phenomenal! My girlfriend was actually impressed by this place for a couple of reasons too. 1st one is that yall have sweet potato fries which she loves and the other reason was the menu prices. We started off with the Sweet Potato Fries basket appetizer. The fries weren't overcooked or undercooked. It was at a great medium especially for sweet potato fries. The appetizer is priced at $8. Now, for that price I wish it came with a bit more fries, like at least another handful. For dinner I had "The Finnegan", mashed potatoes and Guinness gravy over an open faced sammich with sliced prime rib. My only complaint was the gravy, it wasn't bad, I'm just not a fan of the slight bitterness I could taste from the Guinness in the gravy. Nonetheless, I still cleared my plate though, and it was very filling. Not many single dishes can fill me up in a single sitting. (It didn't help that I snacked on some other foods prior to getting real food 😅) Price for it was $16. My girlfriend got the Fish N Chips Dinner Basket. Which is also $16. She's not one to describe how her food is very well, so based on how much she ate and how quick she was eating it, I'd say it was fantastic. She subbed her coleslaw out for a Caesar Salad which has a sub charge of $2.29. Now, for a side dish Caesar Salad it was a lot (which she liked), she had devoured about ⅔of the Salad before the main dish came out. Unfortunately I wasn't able to get any pictures of the salad prior to her eating most of it. For the service.... Stephen was phenomenal! He absolutely rocked, especially since he was the only one we saw who was actually working the floor... bussing tables, taking orders, bringing food out, etc. He was all over that restaurant. Hopefully, he's working the next time we are there. If I had a little extra money, we would've tipped him about 15% rather than the 10% we left. As for the atmosphere of the place... it definitely had the bar and grill vibe, but we didn't quite see the irish/Scottish feel for the place either. But this is only our 1st visit here, so I definitely could've missed something that gives off irish/Scottish vibes other than the green color schemes.

If you enjoy an Irish pub atmosphere, try Finnangan's. Nice variety of beer and a full bar. The food is delicious and the Lemon Drop Cheesecake is especially yummy! They also have a great Sunday football atmosphere.

We arrived and were promptly seated at an available hightop for our group. Our server Cierra was fantastic friendly and prompt. I had a rice bowl with shrimp, it was the best rice bowl I have ever had! My wife had the Taco salad and was very pleased with it as were the rest of our group. We will all be back!

Shout out to our new favorite bar tender Cierra.... kills it every time. We've been there several times now (Mondays for karaoke) and not once have we been disappointed. $8.99 burger night is a no brainer. It's really hard for me to pick a favorite because I've been gladly surprised at how good ever plate has been. Fish tacos, fish & chips, streak quesidilla, "The Finnegan" (so good) and the NY Pastrami (it's legit) I did mine on the marble rye. It's just another fantastic hidden gem in Port Charlotte.

Cool neighborhood pub vibe. Eclectic decor. Waitress was friendly and attentive. Food was hot and delicious. They have daily specials, 2 for 1 drinks and entertainment! We'll definitely be back!

This is our "go to" place on Fridays for dinner. If we have a hard time deciding where to go, then we end up here. Their Blue Cheese and Bacon Pub Chips are so dang good. We always order them and take half home. Their wings are good, especially the Teriyaki. Lots of choice and other than the Pub Chips, we usually order something different each trip

Had a blast Karaoke Night! Great family-friendly vibe. Highly recommend the zucchini fries. Server Trinity was terrific. 1

This is like a little hole in the wall type place. I didn’t have elevated expectations but the food was very good and the service was outstanding. I had a server named Sarah, she was attentive, prompt, personable and funny. I would go back just for the service I received.
