Fionn MacCool's Irish Pub & Restaurant

First time going here because we're never in this part of Route 1. We are going to make a point or if being on this part of Route 1 more after eating here. Inside Fionn MacCools is like going to Ireland to eat I'm guessing because Covid canceled our cruise to Ireland and we've never been there. Hopefully there's will be an update on this soon. The service was great and if a Guinness was close to being finished we were asked if we wanted another one. For a table appetizer we ordered the corned beef nachos. That was so delicious that my sons were in super vulture mode and I was ready to see a forking if one took more than another. It was gone in a blink of an eye. What I had was great. I had Bangers and Mash which I really enjoyed. My wife had the Fish and Chips. She really loved her meal. One son had the corned beef which he finished before I finished 2 sausages. My other son had the Turkey Ruben which he said was great with his mouth very full. My other son was still away at college but we plan on bringing him here during break. The meal was great but the highlight of the trip to Fionn MacCool's was the Irish Whiskey Cake. It's a must try. Next trip my wife was already picking the Shepherd Pie as here meal choice because it looks different than the regular way Shephard Pie is served. Can't wait to have the whole family fighting over 2 servings of corned beef nachos next time.

Honestly the shepherd's pie came out looking great, but was awful!It was cold - they took it back only to come back out in 3 minutes- meaning they microwaved it. The atmosphere was good, plus they had live entertainment. The waitress was great

A real Irish pub. Fionn Mac's is like the Irish local pubs I've been to in NY. Definitely a place to come back & celebrate St. Patty Day. My husband wanted to go out to watch some college football games late Saturday afternoon. We decided to stay local. When you walk into FM's you know you're in an Irish bar. It's got dark furniture, Irish signs hanging up & huge beer & whiskey menu, all which looked very reasonably priced. You can see the 4 or 5 TVs that are set over the huge bar. There are many high top tables with stools in watching distance and table all around the perimeter of the restaurant. The menu is pretty " pubby" so don't expect to stay on a diet here. They do have about 5 types of salad choices. However, after slathering some of the best blue cheese dressing in Jax on a salad might not be the best low cal choice. Our adorable server dressed in knee Sox & a kilt brought us our appetizer which was a huge hot pretzel with the best beer cheese I have honestly ever had. We washed it down with some beer & wine. Next my husband ordered a bacon, cheese burger which came with fries. He said it was very good & cooked just the way he asked. I opted for wings. The wings were very large & too many for me to finish. I got half buffalo & have bbq. Their blue cheese dressing and I'll say it again is one of the best I've had here. We opted for dessert after hearing about the hot skillet chocolate chip cookie with ice cream. It was delicious & I was disappointed I had to share it. It was that good. I forgot to mention the menu has a whole page of Irish specialties including Shepherd's pie. And from 12-2 pm you can get a lunch portion of specific entrees with a salad, or fries for $10! Overall, it's a nice place to go for a beer, sports & pub food. Erin go Bragh!

Stopped in for lunch. Had the Dubliner with fries, and fish and chips with fries. Also had two WeeMac Scottish ales. All were good. Atmosphere was cool, Irish style. Large bar area. Service was good. Overall an average to slightly above all around experience. We will likely be back to try some of the other dishes on menu.

Ate dinner here on Tuesday evening. The server was great, it was pretty quiet inside and not a ton of people. The drinks were good, food was fine but a little bland? I had the chicken pot pie and my husband got the chicken mushroom crepe thing. It was good but nothing blew my socks off. Overall it was a fine dinner, reliable. Nothing exciting though

Nice neighborhood restaurant, they have an authentic Irish ambiance, and everyone is super friendly and accommodating. They offer different daily specials and live music or trivia certain nights of the week. Thursday night trivia is pretty cool, if you are a trivia buff, you'll enjoy it. This time around we had the fish and chips, which was delicious, the soft pretzels because they are my favorite, and a burger. Everything was really good. I am looking forward to their next dueling piano event or another trivia night in the near future, will definitely be back.

Fionn MacCool's Irish Pub & Restaurant is a cool enough place to grab a drink and/or a meal and soak up the atmosphere if you find yourself in Ponte Vedra, Florida.The service is friendly and professional and again, the ambiance and vibe is definitely cool. The vibe kind of takes me away from Florida and puts me in a different state of mind and reminded me of a different place and time and placed me in that timeless Irish pub ambiance. Fionn MacCool's is definitely an overall amazing place and if you find yourself in the area and looking for a cool vibe and friendly staff, Fionn MacCool's is definitely a place to head towards. Go check it out for yourself. I do not think that you will be disappointed. I will give it five stars overall. Again, Fionn MacCool's definitely earned my recommendation.

Great atmosphere, Notre Dame on the television, GO IRISH. Upscale pub. Bacon cheesburger done perfectly. Server was fantastic.

We ordered spinach drip at about 915 PM and it took 30 min (ordering from the bar) We arrived a bit after 830 PM as first time guests. Did not know what to expect for the dress code. Since we are on the most west end of Ponte Verde we didn't take a chance so I wore a sun dress and the hubby wore a button down shirt with jeans and nice shoes. I would say attire is all over the place I would say there was more women in nice summer dresses and men were in gold shorts and tshirts. The spinach dip was very delish. I had never had chopped fresh tomatoes with spinach dip before but it was very good. The garlic toast had too much salt for me but the hubby liked it. We both agreed it was very good. The drink prices are great. Like house wine (Coastal Vines) is only $6 a glass!! Enjoyed the watermelon margarita but it was a pre mix for sure. My hubby had a tropical leprechaun for kicks and it was good. It was a signature cocktail. He ordered an old fashioned as well but it was made with too much orange flavor he said but liked it fine. It did not come with an or age rind tho. The bar wait staff hustled all night and gave great service. 4 stars for the 30 min wait for dip

Food was great!! Drinks were overpriced but awesome too. The service was terrible, and there seems to be a management issue from the looks of how they operate.
