Finnegan's Pub

The Ultimate Bacon Burger earned its name! Just the words “brown sugar glazed pepper bacon” had my mouth watering before I ordered. And once it was delivered, I could hardly put it down. Conversation ceased. The perfectly matched flavor of the sweetness and salt of the bacon had me on cloud nine! The caramelized onions added an additional sweetness that balanced the savory flavor of the perfectly cooked medium rare beef. The lettuce and tomatoes were garden fresh and the pickles were perfectly crisp. The fries were crispy on the outside and perfectly soft on the inside. Yes, it was a long day. Yes, I was famished. Yes I know hunger is the best syrup. But seriously this burger was perfect. This burger makes me think of the episode of How I Met Your Mother When Marshal describes the best burger in NYC. The staff is super friendly and offers suggestions- but seriously, if you’re anywhere near this place and you need to eat, THIS is where you need to eat. $18 may seem steep for “just a burger and fries.” Let me assure you, this is not just a burger and fries. It’s WELL worth it.

Busy hotel restaurant. I had the fried buffalo chicken sandwich and fries. The sandwich was seasoned well and tasty and the fries were hot and crispy. I had the warm caramel apple pie which had a weird soft graham cracker like crust that was equal parts dry and soggy. I drank an ice tea. I give the sandwich a 5, the pie a 3. The service was slow but it was super busy so I'd give service a 4. Overall expensive for what you get. I had a $15 Hilton coupon so with a 20% tip I paid $22 which for what I got still felt a little pricey.

Rolled in at 3pm on a Thursday, just drove through the dessert in a rental car with no name. Bartender was very nice and very attentive even though she was busy mid-afternoon flying solo and probably prepping for the later afternoon rush. Decent Ruben sandwich for $18. Couple drinks and take out brews for the room in the attached Double tree Hotel room. This did not suck. I would do this again and not be sorry about it.
