It's been a while, but true to form, the hash browns were crisp, the corned beef was generous AND deelish as usual; first time I've included eggs-they were poached to perfection ...add the gravy: next level gratification. Sophie was sweet, efficient and kept the coffee coming! I got the biggest kick out of the staff enjoying themselves while working: that's #KeepingItLocal. Not my usual food intake, but I so needed this. Thank you, #MCG!

We asked to be seated at a table or outside. We sat outside in the wind (my fault) but still nice. Joy took a while serving us but explained that she was seated few tables at the same time. We ordered drinks and a to go order of feta bread with added steak and company chowder. The chowder she so kindly let us sample while we waited for our order and finished up our drinks. The soup was the best chowder I've EVER had. So creamy smooth with lumps of clam (I think crab and more) Amazing!! Feta bread was delish but probably better ate inside not to go. Overall, I'll go back again for sure. Thank you Joy for being a delight and also having a Spanish coffee made for me too.

The waitress was super nice and attentive the entire time, which made the experience even better. I got 2 sliders and added cheese, and they were AMAZING. The meat had really good flavor, and the bun tasted buttery and fresh (not sure if it was actually buttered or just the bun itself, but either way it was so good). Also, the pop cups are huge, which I appreciated. I didn't need to wait for a refill! Prices were very reasonable too. The parking lot is small, but there was still more than enough space when we went. Definitely worth stopping by if you like classic diner spots.

The food was so good. The place looked awsome and the waitress was as nice as the day is long.read more

You kind of feel more like a close friend or family member. The food was amazing. I got fish and chips (but upgraded to a baked potato) and it was perfect! The fish was crispy and not too greasy. It's cod. I'm not a fish and chips connoisseur so I don't know if cod is always used... but if you were wondering, that's what it is here! I tried some of my husband's fries and they tasted very similar to McDonald's! They just need salt! They also offer a few flavors of cupcakes that they make themselves. We eat got one and tried each others and they were so good! We tried lemon, chocolate brownie, strawberry crunch, and carrot cake! Highly recommend!

TLDR: The River Rat is an overall good experience, but the food ranged from amazing to mediocre…read more The place itself was relatively lively and cozy. The servers were attentive to our needs. The dishes I ate will be rated separately because of their range in quality. Bread Basket: 4/5 The bread basket that came with the prime rib that I ordered was better than most. It came with multiple freshly baked dinner rolls with some char on them and crispy breadsticks, complemented by a garlicky butter. Soup of the Day (Seafood Bisque): 5/5 This soup was the best dish of all that I had ordered. Despite being a side dish for the prime rib, its rich flavor overshadowed everything else I ate for the evening. House Salad: 2.5/5 The salad is a standard salad that you can skip. Nothing special. Louisiana Lemon Pepper Walleye: 4/5 The walleye was the second best dish. It was a well seasoned, large filet that had a great tartar sauce to go with it. This is a dish I would order again if I came back. Prime Rib: 3/5 The prime rib was surprisingly underwhelming. The edges of the prime were a little tougher than I'd like, and the prime rib itself came out a little cold. The au jus could have been reduced to be a little more concentrated as well. Overall, if I were to come back I would choose to order some different menu items, apart from the soup.

The interior and overall atmosphere come across as old, grungy, and worn down, and the space could really benefit from a facelift. This doesn't feel like a place locals would regularly come to hang out for drinks or drink specials. It seems much more like a lunch or dinner stop than a true neighborhood gathering place. With stronger management, more creativity, better promotions, and an updated atmosphere, I think this place could become much more appealing. The food was okay, but nothing especially memorable. Overall, the experience was pretty forgettable. There's definitely potential here, but it needs some attention and a new direction to really stand out.

Fin's was recommended by a local, also a server in another down eatery, who grew up in the area and…read moresaid that Fin's is "a landmark." Good recommendation and lived up to its name. My husband and I were greeted promptly at around 6:00 on a Friday night in July and were able to be seated immediately, inside, upstairs. It was cool and open with a nice large TV for viewing games... more a bar feel than downstairs or out on the enclosed patio. Our server, Courtney, was outgoing and helpful. Her description of the dishes for our experiences. We ordered a bowl of clam chowder for starters. It was hot and creamy but not too thick. Very tasty. We shared a half of two different sandwiches: turkey burger and fried chicken with bang bang sauce. I had coleslaw as the side and my husband ordered a baked potato. Nice to have choices other than fries. We both really loved our sandwiches. The turkey burger is made in-house with their own added ingredients. It was flavorful and actually tasted like a mix between turkey and a garden burger. My husband said it's the best he's never had. We also loved the chicken sandwich. Perfectly crispy and tangy. Our neighbors saw our dish and regretted not ordering it themselves. Our tab came to $48 without any drinks. A deal for a nice meal. And we were stiffed. Could have easily shared one sandwich and been very satisfied. The vibe in the enclosed, second floor patio was very festive and looked fun. We enjoyed having choices between fine dining, bar casual and outdoor festive. Will definitely return.

Our family ordered a little bit of everything and had mostly no complaints. To start i got one of their seasonal cocktails with cranberry and vodka. It was so strong i couldn't even taste the cranberry and could barely drink it. For entree i got the reuben and fries. I wasn't very hungry and still ended up eating it all! It was a pretty average reuben but i felt like the portions were pretty small especially the fries. One weird thing is that someone ordered a salad and asked for thousand island dressing that came on my reuben and they wouldn't let them order it! They said it wasn't an option which i thought it was weird being that it's on their menu elsewhere. Overall this place has pretty solid food. Some of my family loved it but i thought it was just average. I could see this place being packed in the summer time with it being right in the downtown area.
