. Finnagel's Restaurant is right off of 78 West in Clinton. It was my friend's birthday and we decided we should come to Finnagel's for lunch, it's halfway between both our homes.. . There is an upper and lower parking area with a few handicapped spots . Upon entering I came across a hostess, who was very friendly, and seated us immediately. I saw there was a bar with a nice assortment of beers on tap. This place does get quite a few locals. As I walked through I came to a dining area. There were tables, high tops , and some booths. I chose the booth in the back corner. The decor is simple and rustic with wooden tables and dark blinds. My server Kristen came over. She was very friendly and took our drink order and handed us menus. Finnagel's menu has something for everyone. They have wraps, grilled sandwiches, paninis, burgers,salads, and complete dinners with weekly specials. I noticed they have Happy Hour weekdays from 4-6pm. On Fridays this place can get very crowded I ordered a Pinot Grigio it was pretty good. My friend ordered a Chardonnay, and her mother a Cabernet . My friend has celiacs disease and must eat gluten free. There weren't gluten free items on their menu but they were very accommodating to her. Our server Kristen even went as far as to tell us the French fries are fried in the same oil as breaded foods. ( I thought that was really nice of her to point this out so my friend wouldn't get sick and could make other choices besides the fries.) My friend chose a med-rare Burger with blue cheese on top no bun, it came with lettuce, tomato, raw onions. She ordered coleslaw on the side. It looked great and she throughly enjoyed it. I chose the Finnagel's Burger, it's a 1/2 pound of angus beef, lettuce , tomato, bacon, raw onion, swiss cheese, pickles, frizzled onions, ( another word for deep fried) and mayo on a soft kaiser bun. This burger was huge! It was cooked perfectly rare-med-rare the way I like it. I chose sweet potato fries. My burger was very juicy and tasted great with all the topping piled on! I highly recommend getting this burger, especially if your hungry. My sweet potato fries were crispy and not over done and seasoned correctly. My friend's mom ordered the Ruben Grilled Sandwich and she enjoyed it. It had corned beef ,swiss cheese and sauerkraut grilled on marble rye bread. She got onion rings for her side and they were nice and crispy. My daughter ordered a Bacon Cheese Burger with sweet potato fries and she gobbled hers up. They have a list of desserts , but because it was my friends birthday and she's gluten free I ordered a mint chocolate chip sundae with chocolate sauce and whipped cream. Kristen put a candle in it for her. We throughly enjoyed our lunch and I will be back to try their dinner menu which looks very comforting. read more

Great food, place & atmosphere!!! My coworkers & I came here last weekend and called ahead to reserve the back room that accommodates up to 15 people. We had much better service than we had the last time and our server was on top of our drinks and everything came out on a timely fashion. We ordered a bunch of appetizers & all were very good- buffalo wings w hot & finnegals sauce, nachos & sweet potato fries. My coworker & I then split the finnegals wrap & the chicken Cesar wrap- both were also very good and solid portions!! We were more than stuffed after. However what is a meal without dessert???ale sure you save room for dessert because they are delicious & HUGE! We then split a bunch of desserts at the table including brownie ala mode and the peanut butter pie- excellent. There were no complaints about drinks or food and I'll definitely be back for a sit down dinner or happy hour!!! read more

We stopped here on the way home to Allentown Pa. We usually go to Clinton Station which is just average anymore. We found this place on our GPS. It's right off of 78. Irish pub atmosphere. Jeanette was our server. Very friendly. We never went without anything. Apps. Chicken wings "hot ones" sauce is delicious. Avacado bites & dipping sauce were so good. Mozzarella sticks were delicious but the first two were even better. California cheeseburger was great! Cooked like I asked. Too full to order dessert. We will definitely return! read more

We have been coming here for over 5 years . This was the first time we were treated so rudely by our server Cynthia H . Kind of just threw stuff at us . We sat down waiting for our party & never came for our drink order . Took her time to wait on our party when they came so we would miss happy hour specials . I called 2 days before & was told they do separate checks & when we mentioned it to her she said we don't do that here & left table . Terrible service thanks to her never coming back . It used to be our meeting place for large groups . We will be going to Jake & Riley's from here forward . D thiel read more

I really enjoyed this place. Went for lunch. Got a turkey Reuben. It was great. Service was solid. I will be back!

I went to Finnagel's with a group of family friends for lunch. Since it was a group of 5, they sat us away from everybody in a colonial room. It was a very nice space and I loved the privacy we had. The building was very antique looking and I liked the architecture. Their playlist was also very nice and I enjoyed almost all the music they were playing! They have an array of options on the menu and can customize dishes for different dietary needs. I had a grilled shrimp cocktail with a side of French fries and it was delicious! They were also very generous with the French fries. I would go back if in the area again! read more

Good tasty $10 burgers ordered rare that came out somewhere between rare and medium rare which was just fine since most places way overcook. On a past visit had the prime rib special which was also excellent. Martini was good and they have a good selection of draft beer. Happy hour 4-6pm on Friday is insanely busy with not enough parking but it started to empty out by 7pm. read more

My wife and I had a nice lunch outside at Finnagels on Nov 7. I had the Chicken Fiesta Quesadillas and my wife had the Finnagel's Salad. Both were excellent as usual. It was a beautiful fall day and we just needed to get outside and we weren't alone. A lot of people had the same idea and Finnagel's had a very safe set up so we felt comfortable being there. Our server, Megan, was very friendly and very good - a great combination. Finnagel's is a great local beer & burger place, and a lot more. read more

I was rather impressed with this restaurant's menu, several pages of tempting options. I decided on a turkey BLT wrap with homemade potato chips and a raspberry/lemon rickey (as I am from the south I have never heard of this drink) to drink. Afterwards I topped off the lunch with a piece of carrot cake. Everything placed down before me was excellent, and because of this I highly recommend the restaurant. read more

I went there for the first time to meet some family members who live in Clinton NJ, and thought this may be a good place to meet. It is typical sports bar food, with one exception -- the food was great! The beer was cold! The service was excellent! Did I say the food was Great?! It was really good! There were six of us, and my wife and her two sisters are very picky eaters. I told them, I am just looking for a normal sports bar ( priced decently ) to grab some appetizers, and a few drinks, and the food was so good that we all ordered entrees after ordering and trying six different apps. We figured if the apps were bad, we would not order entrees, but we ended up ordering meals afterwards, took our time and enjoyed the excellent food, drinks, and service! I would highly recommend the potatoes skins, onion rings, Finnagel burger, and the salads were all great! We ordered ribs, nachos, mozzarella sticks, chicken Quadasia's, and more--spent 260.00 plus tip. Nice little spot! Nothing extravagant, but the food and drinks were really good! Thought others should know. Dave from Maryland. read more

Customer Service is by far the most important aspect when you deal with the public. First impression at this place.... Hostess.... was so rude. We went in for dinner with my family. We approached the Hostess and I told her there were 5 for dinner. Her response.... "Uh.... we are really busy. You will wait.... a long time." No problem. We can wait. She walked away, never took my name. When she returned she again told me.... "I cannot tell you how long you are going to wait... a really long time". Still did not pick up her pen to take my name. All the while shaking her head and frowning. I told her we would take our business elsewhere. Will not be going back. Perhaps some retaining is in order. read more

I had an amazing night at Finnagles Natalia waited on me and the dining room is so cozy and the staff made me feel at home.

its a nice place but the food took a very long 40 minuets to get my food I do not like the wait

Nope. Ordered a burger and fries. No tomato lettuce..nada nothing. Dry burger big huge magnificent roll but the burger...duh where did it go. Really...and those over zapped chicken wings. You didn't need to microwave them so long...shrunk to dried up pieces of old bird crap. Never going here again...disgusting...go anyplace else...don't waste your money...burger fries and wings cost over $30..what a waste...garbage read more

The food and service went beyond my expectations. The ambience is warm and friendly. The staff made me feel at home. Our waitress Jeanette made us feel like family!! read more

The food and service is exceptional. Highly recommend anything that has Finnagels in the name, the wrap, the salad and especially the wings. The finnagels sauced wings will easily win a wing battle with even Buffalo. Service is exceptional. Especially Jeanette who is very attentive and friendly. read more

Finnagel's is such a warm welcoming comfortable eatery - and a fun bar as well!! Creative cocktails all the time

Food was ok. The French dip was good, not fatty. The potato salad had a strange taste of pickles. The burger was very dry for being cooked medium. The service was fine. Although there were 2 empty waters at the table and only one got filled. The downfall was the loud yelling from the bar. The f word was flying which was just ridiculous. I understand it was a pub but we were in the restaurant part and couldn't carry on a conversation over the screaming from the other room. I'm just glad I didn't have my kids with me. read more

In the 3x we have been here, we left dissatisfied with our meals. They were basic and tasteless.

Thank God they were serving food in the middle of the afternoon, we were starving! We tried their version of wings (pretty good) and their Bloody Mary (sooooo spicy). Great service, everyone was super nice. I would go back. read more

I recommend this restaurant because their chicken fingers are tasty. It's conveniently located right off of 22/78. I will most likely return to this restaurant but would like to read more reviews first. read more

Food was good, we sat in the bar area and had sandwiches. Everyone was happy with what they ordered. Not a high end place but great for lunch. read more

Loved this place! The food was great and the staff and owner were very friendly. I forgot my credit card and they went the extra mile to get it back to me. Thanks for a fun night,great meal and for being so accommodating! read more

Surprisingly lame. The pics and reviews were so good but maybe I just caught them on an off night. Bartender nice and cute but what a weak pour! Small glass with lots of ice and 3/4 ounce of whiskey. Ordered soup.... grew old waiting for it. Paid out and left. Locals likely get better pours and service. read more

TOTALLY FLAGGED! I never write reviews, im 25 and have been going here since i was a kid. Twice now i have been rejected to place an order between 5-7pm because they're "too busy"...even was nice enough to wait 30 mins to call again by 7pm and WAS STILL REJECTED. Not to mention the last dine-in experience was met by a mask-nazi at the door and 3 mojitos later felt nothing as if it were non-alcoholic. read more

Ordered Chef's salads. Take out. One with dressing, one without. Food was well prepared and tasty. Available on time. An excellent choice!

Went to dinner here, first time since the pandemic.... I think something went desperately wrong ... maybe management, maybe staffing , etc. whatever it t was the service was horrible. Started out with being served wrong wines. A Merlot instead of a Chardonnay, and a house white instead of a Kendall Jackson. Dinner came. Entrees with no sides , then after asking at least 10 minutes later a salad ( no dressing and a baked potato .... meanwhile entree getting cold.... One at our table got no fries at all. .... Tried ordering desert and coffee . First selection was not available... desert came with a promise a new pot of coffee was being made. After eating desert coffee came. ... oh and one of us order tea and was given a box put on the the table and left there ( along with an array of dirty dinner dishes. And the topping on the cake our friend's side of French fries came out with desert!!!! All this for quite a hefty dinner bill ...... read more

Six stars if that were possible. Friendly wait staff, and an enormous menu with something for everyone. I had the Portuguese Chicken Wrap with sweet potato fries, along with a Smithwicks Ale. Not rushed, not crowded, and easy to find access from the highway, which is saying something in west-central Jersey. read more

This place is disgraceful. I was sitting at the bar last Friday alone and left without eating because the barmaid never took my order. They need to hire better people. I had to give a star in order to post. read more

Finnagels - Bad service. I sat at the bar for 15 minutes and nobody took my order! Mismanaged establishment - American Near Me - Clinton, New Jersey

Had dinner there tonight. Great burger and onion rings we cooked perfectly. Also had a lb off hot wings. It was awesome.

Ate here after hiking in Vorhees State Park. It was a Wednesday around 6 p.m. but we had no problem getting a table for five. The menu offers a lot of choices and they have a fair number of beers on tap. My order was slightly screwed up (the shrimp was supposed to come on a bed of rice) but otherwise everything was fine. Would definitely come back. read more

Been coming here for about 20 years. Consistency is key and Finnagel's had it down. Be sure to get the wings, French onion, and the chicken honey mustard wrap. read more

Atmosphere, food, and pricing all 5 star. Will return when out here for work! Seems like a lot of locals but very friendly, easy-going, scenery read more

Katie is a truly amazing bartender, she's been here for years and knows the menu and drink selection like the back of her hand. Her parents own the place and they run a tight ship - it's been open so long for good reasons! They know their regulars and I'm sure they want to get to know you too! I've never had a problem with the food, in fact it's all really good bar food! Great prices too. A spit shot from 78 and right off 31 near downtown Clinton leads for the perfect location! Loads of parking. read more

Love their wraps and burgers. Their finnagels sauce has got a nice buffalo and BBQ taste to it. Really nice for a beer. I recommend sitting on the bar side. The normal seating side feels a bit like an old persons home. read more

Stopped in here for a Sunday evening meal. We decided on appetizers. The pretzel sticks were awesome and my boyfriend absolutely loves the beef quesadillas, (he's a repeat customer for those!). Wasn't a big fan of the pizza, but everything else was great! Our waitress was super sweet! A great local spot! read more

Such a disappointment! from the start, when they ran out of their "special", to when I had to ambush our waitress, then on to actually consuming what we ordered...ONE BIG FAIL! I mean how can you screw up a reuben ? or a burger? read more

Great service Emily very friendly and always attentive. Salads are excellent as well as burgers.

My family and I wanted to support local restaurants at this time. We ordered for delivery. That being said, noone mentioned the $12 delivery fee which is crazy. Extremely disappointed with this and will not order again from Finnagels. They should have left it up individual as to how much tip to leave them. At this time, we are suppose to help each other, not gouge the pricing. Dana Panella read more

Great bar! Good happy hour specials; great food and awesome wings; and lots of tvs for watching sports. One of our favorites!
