Finley's Bar & Grill

This should easily be a 5 star establishment! Great hospitality, high quality menu with reasonable pricing -- you pay for the quality you're getting! Ambiance is classy, unique and you can tell this place has history in its 30 years or so of existence! The owner is an absolute delight, I really enjoyed this gem I happened to find while passing through the area and will recommend everyone to go treat themselves to a home cooked quality style meal. Drink selection is great, I will definitely make this a must stop when traveling!

We dined at Finley's after seeing an episode on Good Day Sacramento. We were greeted by a friendly host rather than ghost. The owner Debra was attentive and kind and the entire dining room had this vintage, at home vibe. I had the ribeye which was full of flavor, the garlic butter bread had slithers of jalapeños for a light delicious kick of spice. We have already recommended to family!

I went back a couple days later and had a great dinner. I had a medium rare tomahawk steak, loaded baked potato and broccoli. It was all prepared very well. The steak was cooked just right. It was large enough for 2.5 meals for me. I even gnawed on the bone! The potato was very good, as were the veggies. My friend had the filet mignon. It was large, cooked to her liking and she said she it was very good. The restaurant was pretty quiet, only a couple of other tables, but it was a Thursday night, so it might have just been quiet. It allowed my friend and I to chat comfortable through dinner. We were inside looking out onto the patio, which was very cute. There was a homey, rustic victoriana feeling to the restaurant that carried out onto the patio and even into the restroom. The service was excellent. Debra served us and told us about the history of the property while she kept our glasses full and made sure we had everything we needed. My friend and I both said on the way home that we wished Debra had had more time to sit with us and talk. We both really liked her. I I'm looking forward to have a nice cozy dinner on the patio with more friends. I still would love to see their menu on their website, including the times the kitchen is serving. One caveat: THIS IS A CASH ONLY ESTABLISHMENT. However, they do have an ATM on site.

Food was amazing the French dip was out of this world. The bread was so soft and meat so flavorful not to mention the ambiance

What a "find" don't let the detours from roadwork on Airport Way deter you from driving to this historical restaurant bar & grill. We came for the prime rib and rib eye and we weren't disappointed. The owners have run this place for 30yrs+ and treat you like family as soon as you walk in. Honestly , this is a really hidden gem of a place - extremely well kept, great table service and I can easily see small private parties here. Indoor / outdoor seating and beautifully decorated. Come drop by and enjoy lunch or dinner or for a cocktail. Jukebox to play your favorite songs. Oh, and yes, it's haunted. Smiles.

If you like overpriced microwave food and bad service, eat here. The owner is rude and arrogant, a few of my friends have tried this place and they have the same opinion. We won't be back.

Was in the area for some errands. French dip was the best sandwich I've ever had. Very welcoming folks.

Went there for the first time last month. service was poor and extremely slow. Also the prices were very expensive

IF YOU DRINK, THEN GO! Fun atmosphere!Honestly, I should have known better than believe the reviews. We are in Central California- which says it all!Sadly, if you want great food? Or even decent food, Finley's is NOT your place. What a waste of $150.00. Took home all of the food then threw it away.A READERS CHOICE MANTECA BULLETIN? Really?The small, thin, 6oz? rib-eye @ $40 with a "loaded potato" and canned green beans was very disappointing and tasteless. No garlic as advertised and the choice not prime cut of meat was well done (asked for MR) over peppered and had a grey hue to it.Their Shrimp Scampi was just boiled shrimp swimming in watery butter "sauce". Again with a dry, tiny baker and canned green beans.When presented and you answer yes to a loaded potato you do not expect to be charged $3 extra for it. Or their morning brew of bitter coffee for $4 (no cream or 1/2 &1/2 to help the sludge) was undrinkable. The owner looked at our full plates when she was asked to pack it up and asked if something was wrong. Thinking where do I begin? Not worth my breath to begin to teach her how to run her establishment. Example: she used her fingers to squeeze the tip of my drink straw to try and figure out what that black spot was. She finally figured to just take the straw away, no less. on my flat, but supposedly carbonated drink.At the end of this uneaten meal I learned they only take cash. There is no signage about that, only taking cash and no info about the charges for the extra on the loaded potatoes. I really wish it had been a wonderful experience and I can only hope that the owner reads this review and takes these observations to heart and undergoes the changes needed (better quality and fresh food product, a chef that understands the art of cooking and better signage! We had come in early for dinner and was guided to a room with 3 tables We were told not to sit on the 4 top because there was a big party the night before and I guess she was hoping another would come in tonight and had to be ready. We were there for 2 hours and only another deuce came. No big party.She clearly is trying to get as much money out of her business (ATM next to my table with a $4 charge for the necessary cash needed) to pay for their bill.

Food is good, service ok, Ambiance is empty, prices too high. I would rather pay for a nicer atmosphere.
