I've been here a couple times. The food is truly terrible. It's a la fun neighborhood hangout - but don't eat here. Greasy and just really disappointing both times.
Great food, service and live music. I had medium rare Goff burger that came with jalapeno poppers. The burger was cooked perfectly and everyone loved the poppers. They also sell bottles of pliney the elder, which is awesome.
I LOVE FINNEGANS! IT'S THE BEST, NO BETTER PLACE AROUND TOWN!ALL THE WORKERS THERE ARE AWESOME PEOPLE TOO! I WOULD GIVE 10 STARS IF POSSIBLE! ??????????SINCERELY, BOBBY ?
For a Wednesday evening the place was busy and jubilant. Even so Matt met us at the door immediately and sat us at a booth. He recommended the Po' Boy fish sandwich. Vanessa our server confirmed that it was really good and I ordered that. My wife got a Ceasar's Salad and we split an order of fried calamari. Everything from the house made croutons to the fennel strips in the Calamari to the fore thought of sweet potato fries instead of traditional chips with my Po' Boy showed care and creativity in our meal. Wow, just wow. We live 2 counties north of here, but I will be making excuses to stop there again!
I have been going to Finnegan's for the past 10 years and I have rarely been disappointed. The food, service, and atmosphere are consistently good. I've tried everything on the menu and the Fish and Chips are my favorite, but you really can't go wrong. My wife usually orders the flank steak. My son loves the calamari. They have great burgers and sandwiches. And the daily specials bring more variety (and occasionally become new menu items).But it's more than just good food. It is also a lively bar with several tvs showing sports and offering a variety of live entertainment offerings (music, trivia, and bingo to name a few).Finnegan's is one of the best restaurants/bars in Novato.
mac and cheese is TO DIE FOR. the pork adds a luxurious, refined, juicy touch. would highly recommend this item. the staff is so wonderful and considerate. especially jessica? i love the sense of irish culture and community that merges with the traditional american family style restaurant. highly recommend this restaurant to anyone in town it is so busssss thank you to this wonderful staff!???
Patrick (appropriately named) was our bartender. His mind reading was not so sharp, but he sold us on the cider and waffle fries!! Fun, friendly and Finnegans!!
Great Food atmosphere and staff Martini is excellent
Very good chicken doré! The sea food pasta was little bit too greasy, just okay. Otherwise, generous portions, right prices! Good and friendly service!??
Great experience with a large group outside. It was a soccer party for 10/11 year olds and I would get tired of serving us. The staff handled it great though and we're very attentive to our needs!
