Review 2 for Finnegan's at Universal Studios Florida
"Great Irish pub atmosphere, just in time....after 8 hours in the parks. Meals we ordered included delicious kid-friendly meals (grilled cheese, hamburger) and very satisfying corn beef & cabbage with red potatoes. Great atmosphere- Irish sing-along and we enjoyed a view of the passing parade as well. Waitress was very personable. Had a slight glitch as we were locked out of the restaurant for a few minutes due to an early closing for Middle School bash. But had time enough to enjoy a few Smithwick;s and regain some of our lost mo-jo for another round of rides in the park. Highly recommend the corned beef & cabbage."

Review 3 for Finnegan's at Universal Studios Florida
"Our party of six had a great time here. Had 6pm reservations on a Thursday and had no problem sitting a few minutes early. Knew we were in for a good time when we heard the gent with a guitar singing Irish Folk songs and getting the audience to participate. Now the food...it was Great !!! we had at our table, Shepherds Pie, Fish n Chips, Bangers and Mash, Glazed Chicken, Chicken Pot Pie and the potato soup, crusty onion's and potato appetizer and the Irish Soda bread were all outstanding. Then we had great desserts with Irish Coffee. And did I fall to say that the price was really, really reasonable for a group of six. I would recommend this restaurant to anyone and will be the first place I would eat on any return trip."

Review 5 for Finnegan's at Universal Studios Florida
"I have to say that the staff was fantastic, and we had a ton of fun!!! This is our third time there in our 3 visits to Universal. So I can say with great confidence that the chef must of had an off day when making the shepherds pie. The meat was over seasoned and the mashed potatoes were under seasoned. My husband had the Bangers and Mashed and they were Fantastic! The Scottish Eggs were done to perfection as well.
Would we go back??? In a heart beat!!! It is already on our list of places to visit on our next trip to Orlando in a few months!"

Review 7 for Finnegan's at Universal Studios Florida
"Restauarant was extremely loud, we were seated next to the bar and singer. Wine was AWFUL, served in a plastic cup "for special events" like Mardi Gras. Ordered onion/potato web, chicken wings and Cornish pastis. Food was not hot and greasy, probably because it was so crowded.
Had a better lunch at "The Bar" at Islands of Adventure and better service."

Review 8 for Finnegan's at Universal Studios Florida
"With the Mummy ride across the street, a perfect spot for parents of teens to enjoy a refreshing beverage, listen to live music, watch a game on tv, or simply takes break from the heat and rides. We were able to get out of a downpour of rain and watch the parade from comfortable seats. The food was delicious and our daughters enjoyed the small desserts, without feeling too full. Very much like an Irish pub."

"The food was delicious particularly the fish and chips. Our server was extremely accomodating and very friendly. We did not feel rushed like so often is the case in the peak season of amusement parks and our table was even ready for us on schedule....highly recommend"

Review 12 for Finnegan's at Universal Studios Florida
"We try to eat at Finnegan's whenever we visit Universal. The Potato-Onion Web is not to miss! This time my hubby ordered the fish & chips. Big hunks of fish, however the breading was a little heavy. I ordered the corn beef sandwich instead of the Reuben and it did not disappoint! The pretzel roll was surprisingly soft and yummy - i was expecting tough and chewy. We didn't order beer this time but I highly recommend the Guinness and cider! It's a great combination and almost a meal in itself! Definitely request to be seated in the bar!!"

"Very friendly staff. We arrived early and requested a table by the window so we could watch the parade. The food was very good and just the right portions. We enjoyed fish and chips and bangors and mash. Great beer, too."

Review 15 for Finnegan's at Universal Studios Florida
"My son & husband ordered the sherpards pie & enjoyed it. My veggie burger was ok. Our server was energetic & very friendly. Someone was playing Irish music on his guitar. It was enjoyable but very loud. He was playing in the other room & it was still too loud where we were seated. Luckily he took a little break so we could have a conversation without screaming."

Review 16 for Finnegan's at Universal Studios Florida
"A return visit, so my family was looking forward to this after the great things I had told them. After waiting for 40 minutes for our main courses to turn up (with no drinks refills - our waitress just disappeared) my husband went to find another server who sorted the situation for us! Our meals arrived 10 minutes later carried by a manager and our errant waitress, the manager offered to deduct two of the main courses from our bill which I think was fair, but there was no explanation as why our waitress went AWOL leaving no one else covering the table, or why our food took so long! In all the other park restaurants sit down dining is a very swift experience, and I have no idea what happened here!"

Review 17 for Finnegan's at Universal Studios Florida
"Excellent sit down meal after a long day of walking and waiting in lines. Great service and good kids menu. Staff was friendly and polite. Fish and chips had a lot of breaking, but a "must have" is the corned beef sandwich on a fresh baked pretzel roll - YumYum!!!!!!"

Review 21 for Finnegan's at Universal Studios Florida
"Finnigans is a theme park restaurant, so we weren't expecting very much, and it pretty much met our expectations. The most interesting part of what we experienced were the mixed beer drinks. We had to wait about 45 minutes for our food, and eventually we were told that our appetizers would be paid for because of the wait, but there was a long stretch with no updates and when the food finally came it wasn't very hot, which seemed odd since they were apparently hurrying to get it done. Our server was okay, but I wish she had been more assertive about our orders, but it was very busy."

Review 22 for Finnegan's at Universal Studios Florida
"I've eaten here numerous times, but this trip was a bad experience. Server was rude by rolling her eyes, food took 45minutes to come out. Seafood pie was undercooked, when I spoke to a manager all she wanted to do was get me a free dessert. I would have liked another meal. I ended up having to go eat somewhere else. I wouldn't recommend the seafood pie, but other food is good."

Review 29 for Finnegan's at Universal Studios Florida
"Great restaurant in Universal Studios that has table service. You can sit down relax and have a waiter serve you instead of having to make a line at a concession stand. The place is lively and during our lunch we were able to see a parade go by from the windows. There was even live music which is a plus. A great place to rest up and regain your energy for the park. Our server Tom was great, very attentive and friendly!"
