Amazing. We came for our anniversary and had made a reservation through open table (although reservations are not necessary). In the comment section we put that we were coming for an anniversary and as soon as we walked in we were welcomed they said happy anniversary. It really put a personal touch on our experience. The food and service are top notch and always amazing. We had prime rib and steak  medallions which I am already craving again. I can't wait to go back.
Review Source:Man, oh man ... I've just had the lunch I've been craving forever. If heaven made liver 'n onions, they'd be making it the way it's done at Feeney's. This restaurant has great food and drinks at great prices and a very down-home comfortable atmosphere. Â And as my friend Eric mentioned, they treat you like family here - I love the service! Another reason I'm so very glad I moved into this neighborhood!
Review Source:Warning: if you dine once at Feenye's, you'll be addicted, and you'll probably be writing a review for a 12-step rehab program that will get you out of the undeniable allure that this Restaurant/Bar has to offer. Having that said, yeah...it IS worth it!
Let me take you through this cozy satisfying experience by starting off with the appetizers that we tried; first few times we went there we were pretty much obsessed with the SAGANAKI, which is a flaming Greek Kefalograviera cheese served with fresh pita bread. We also tried, TENDERLOIN TOAST which is a to die for slice of meat lover's heaven on herbed cheese on garlic crostini. And, my go to fav' now is--GREEK BRUSCETTA which includes feta cheese, kalamata olives, tomato on fresh pita bread, with a glass of pinot noir, you can't do no wrong!
If that didn't tickle your fancy, the salad bar will. Fully loaded with your favorite greens and then some.
After we've been fully appetizerized, we also had a few of their main dishes that were defiantly worth trying twice! Last time we were there I had the CHICKEN PICATTA with lemon caper sauce and my husband had the PAN SEARED TROUT almondine. On another occasion I had the LAMB CHOPS with Greek seasoning and my husband had the GRILLED SALMON Greek style. Needless to say...DAYMN that was some good eats!
Now here's how you KNOW...you just know, that you're in for a night of class A eating, and it is when you're too full to move, but you'll say "yeah...I will take a look at the desserts menu". We had a slice of the ice cream cake that must not be named! Oh yes, it was that intense...chocolate, Oreo, and ice cream...'nough said.
If you're not sold by now, hit their bar with your friends...according to my husband and his friends, you CAN'T leave, thanks to the owner, George, who makes Feenye's Restaurant and Bar an experience that you'd want to revisit again and again.
I've lived a rock's throw away from this joint for over 6 months now, and I didn't even realize the absolute gem that is Feeney's, until this afternoon! Â I had heard an excellent review of their salad bar at work from a client, and decided to check it out!
The overall feel of the place is welcoming, and up beat! Â The dimly lit atmosphere is reminiscent of a dive bar (in a good way), but Feeney's is WAY cleaner and well maintained. Â I saw a lot of reviews saying that the vibe was reminiscent of restaurants before major chains were the norm, and where as I may be a little young to remember such a time, I can see what they mean, and agree!
Today, I actually decided to stop by to grab a quick salad to go (since I had heard that salad bar was awesome, and it is), but a quick look at their daily special (caramelized apple pork chop, oh em gee AH-MAZING!) and I knew it wouldn't be a salad dinner for me! Â The menu has a lot of unique options that you don't see often, including their soup of the day, a Louisiana style seafood soup, london broil and even ESCARGOT! Â I can honestly say I've never seen escargot on a menu before! Â So I find their menu not only intriguing, but incredibly special!
Some of their dishes are a little on the pricey side, but you certainly get what you pay for, not only in quality and quantity of the food, but also in SERVICE!
I myself work in the service industry, and I know how frustrating it can be, but as a result, I hold customer service to a high standard. Â Feeney's blew my standards out of the water! Â It took only a few minutes to be greeted by Judy, the fabulous bartender, who gave me a lunch and dinner menu to browse through. Â I had a few minutes before another gentleman (I'm sad to say I can't remember his name) offered me advice on what to expect from various dishes. Â I ended up deciding on the special of the day (that super-delicious caramelized apple pork chop), and a chocolate martini (crafted deliciously by George, co-owner).
Both George and Judy were so fantastic to interact with, even going so far as to introduce me to the cooks, and other patrons! Â I even left with a bag of grapefruits to take to my co-workers tomorrow and A HUG! Â Which is a big deal if you know me, because I'm a hugger!
I've had some pretty awesome customer service in my day, but I can't think of a time or place when I have ever felt so welcome at an establishment I've never been to! Â It's clear that the people at Feeney's take pride in their work and I can't wait to go back!
From the menu to the staff, Feeney's is a breath of fresh air! Â I would recommend this restaurant to ANYONE!
I love this place they have the best prices for the quality of food they serve and when you go there you feel welcomed. Maria and George run the place they are great super friendly, and  you will always see them with a smile !
The best for last best prime rib in town by far keep it up guys !
Feeneys, you win. I really tried to like the place. We've been there four times. Cheap burgers on Mondays, who can resist? Welll, I now can. How hard is it to cook a hamburger? Apparently impossible. Four times we have ordered both of our hamburgers with little or no pink, and five times (we sent one back twice!) they have come back bloody. Tonight, they returned it on the same bloody bun. Â Feeneys, PLEASE teach your cooks what well done means! Fully cooked doesn't mean cinders, but it does mean NO PINK!
The staff is generally friendly and welcoming. Drinks are only fair. The salad bar is great. I give a lot of leeway because I really love small, local restaurants. But really, if you consistently can't cook a hamburger to customer specifications, I can't keep going.
This place has been on my list for a while. It is a small brick building that is sort of cramped inside. There were a lot of older people at the bar inside and there is also a patio outside you can smoke at. The parking lot was sort of cramped too and they also valet available.
I think I could have made a better selection off of the menu. I ordered a new york strip with a baked potatoes. The steak was very bland; in fact, everyone at my table had ordered a steak and they were all putting A1 steak sauce, salt and pepper on their meat. I was appalled by this because you should be able to eat a steak that costs upwards 20 dollars without having to put A1 or salt on it. Once I was done battling my steak the baked potato I had ordered with it was too cold to enjoy.
The salad bar that came with my meal was good, I don't have anything bad to say about it. The people that ordered soup instead of salad enjoyed theirs. I think this is the wrong place to order a steak from though.
The server was very quirky but did a fine job taking down our orders. Unfortunately when it came time to split the bill she got really confused and a person from our party accompanied her to the register to help her out.
Overall it was not a bad experience. I am willing to give it another shot and try something different off of the menu.
I came here with a group of friends for $5 burgers with fries on Mondays. We had to vallet park, which I didn't expect. We were seated promptly in a place that took me back to my childhood. It was almost like I was back in Maine in the 1980s going out to dinner with my parents. The decor...the servers...the salad bar. I skipped the burgers and just got the salad bar....it is very cool, but I was disappointed in the salad bar. There were no tomatoes and the potato salad was 100% mayo with some random pieces of potato. Perhaps I came on an off night, because my friends have been before and they love it. I'll give it another go and see if the salad bar experience improves.
Review Source:I genuinely cannot believe I haven't reviewed Feeney's. I look back at my reviews and it's like I'm emerging from a fog. A year flew by and I didn't review anything. I could have sworn I had reviewed Feeney's. So big a part has Feeney's played in my life this past year, it's like I've never NOT gone to Feeney's.
The first time I went to Feeney's was like every time I go to Feeney's. I marvel at its bald-faced lack of pretension. This is a restaurant by and for people who remember what restaurants used to be like before chains became the norm and non-chains realized they were special and started becoming overpriced poor-value destinations (cough-Durants-cough).
If you grew up in the 70s or 80s, you will instantly recognize this place. Dingy without being dirty, all dark woods and low ceilings and Irish village frescoes. At first, you will wonder how it could possibly have stayed in business while maintaining this look, because most of the places that looked like this flatly could not keep up with changing tastes and increasing demands for quality and flair. Then you eat and you realize the truth: Feeny's keeps it simple with can't-miss old-school standards and top notch preparation and quality.
It starts with the salad bar. That's right - that relic of the 70s and 80s where you are told you are welcome to go ahead and serve yourself while you wait for your dinner to be prepared. Not well stocked enough to be a meal on its own (which is as it should be), the salad bar is the perfect appetizer. What's there are all the standards for a competent salad, is fresh, delicious and even the dressings taste home made. If it starts with the salad bar, it finishes with a flourish with the entrees. Real deal steaks and seafood, prepared simply and competently. I always get the prime rib. In fact, the reason we found Feeney's was because I was in the mood for a prime rib and we went looking for one locally. I was not disappointed. Perfectly prepared with a side of au jus and creamed horseradish, if you like prime rib, you will be intimately familiar with its presentation here.
I should mention that the service has never been anything short of top-notch. Even at their busiest, we receive constant, uninvasive attention from the host, waiters and other staff.
In short, if you're looking for a homey independent throwback that has class-A food and service at reasonable prices, give Feeney's a try, you'll love it. I know we do.
My hubby selected Feeney's for my bday dinner because I have been dying to try a Beef Wellington after watching Hell's Kitchen for years. Â Pastry and beef, hello!!! Â
This place is one of those old school restaurants, tables, and feel. Â I remember these places when I was a kid. Â We were greeted right away and she turned out to be our server too. Â Maria was awesome and her support staff. Â Our drinks were never empty and they came to check on us multiple times but not to the point that they are standing over us. Â
We ordered:
Chicken Wings with Ranch - Those little things are spicy but so crispy. Â The ranch helped to cut some of the spicy.
Cream of Broccoli Soup - Thick, creamy, and good.
Beef Wellington - OMG, it was good. Â It was so good, I could not stop eating. Â The mash potato and gravy was a great side to go with my wellington. Â
Lamp Chops - My hubby loved it! Â He said we are coming back!!!
They bread that came with the meal was so good!!! Â I ate both pieces of the rye. Â My husband had the pumpernickel.
The server found out we were there to celebrate my bday, so she bought me a huge slice of mud pie (ice cream). Â It was so good and they sang happy birthday to me. Â Too bad, I was only available to have a few bites. Â I was so full from the wellington, but happy bday to my hubby, he inhaled MY mud pie. Â =)
A group of three of us went on a Wednesday night for the first time. Â I ordered the salisbury steak (one of the Wednesday $10 specials) and it was fantastic. Â It was thick and juicy and topped with a wonderful mushroom gravy. Â The mashed potatoes were homemade and very, very good. Â The meal came with the salad bar which was nicely stocked with fresh items. Â It wasn't a large salad bar, but it was perfect for a pre-meal salad.
Our waitress was friendly and attentive. Â She had a lovely accent (Russian maybe?) and made sure we never ran out of beer.
Overall, it was a fun experience and we'll definitely be going back.
Read a number of good reviews here on this establishment. Last night, my friend and I had a hankering for prime rib so we decided to try Feeney's.
We arrived and were seated promptly. Drink orders were taken. Iced tea only (my friend has been on the wagon over 25 years!!). Small glass, but was constantly refilled. Ordering was no problem. My friend ordered the small cut of prime rib (approx 10 oz) and a baked potato w sour cream and chives. I ordered the "Feeney's Cut" (the largest, approx 24 oz) of prime rib with rice pilaf. Dessert was fried ice cream. There is complimentary salad bar. Warm rye and pumpernickel breads and butter come with the dinners.
Maybe the kitchen was having an off night. Maybe the vendor supplied substandard beef. Maybe the refrigeration was screwed up. I don't know. Let's start with the salad bar. All the usual fare: mixed iceberg lettuce, carrots, 3 bean salad, cottage cheese, cici beans, bacon bits, red onions, croutons, etc. There were four kinds of salad dressings, including ranch, russian and creamy italian. The ingredients were fresh, especially the lettuce. However, the salad bar itself was mildly cool, not cold. Otherwise the salad bar, in my experience, is nothing special.
The prime rib orders arrived as we ordered them: medium rare. Small plastic cups of horseradish sauce and au jus were on the plates. My rice pilaf was starchy and stuck together. My friend's baked potato was underdone. After trimming off 20% of the meat because one end was all fat and gristle, both orders were a tad dry. There was no rub on the exterior; no salt, no cracked peppercorns, nothing. The prime rib is really nondescript. The fried ice cream dessert was well executed.
The service was good. The iced tea server (that's all he does, apparently) was working overtime. I'd like to give this restaurant 2.5 stars because I find nothing about this restaurant particularly outstanding. They served us perfectly average fare.
Confession - I am remiss in writing this review.
Feeney's great meal and service was an excellent compliment to a great evening with friends! Â You see, this raucous bunch took the place over on a Saturday night and while we were by far the loudest table they didn't mind a bit. Â From @AZvern to @audreyrlwyatt to @TheDottsyZ to @ThomasWSmith to @lupnacca to @chrissyP71 to @cutepup8191 we all had a great time and enjoyed the old school food and service very much.
Hello, Phoenix history! This was the second location of the Cork N' Cleaver chain. Back when there was a Cork N' Cleaver chain. And not much has changed since.
In my mid 20's I lived around the corner and was in quite often. Never had a bad meal. Granted - I never had a GREAT meal - but it was never bad.
I moved away - then I moved back. While I am certainly not a regular - some of the specials are just too hard to pass by. Monday is CenPho is cheap burger night. $4 for burger and fries at Feeney's and Maizies, $5 at Vig and Vig Uptown. My mom's husband is not a big fan of Maizie's decor, so we have been frequenting Vig Uptown. I talked them into Feeney's last week - and it was a great trip down memory lane.
Each of us went for the $4 burger special, and we each elected to add on the salad bar for $2.50.
Nothing exceptional - it was a standard, good quality burger. Nothing flashy or showy - nothing you wouldn't have seen when they opened this location in 1965. And it still works. Well.
Specials other nights of the week include fish & chips, liver and onions, fried chicken, salisbury steak and half rack of ribs - all for $10 each, and all including the salad bar. Â Tough to beat that!
In this town, it's not easy to keep an independently owned restaurant open. And keeping one open almost 50 years? Well, I think we can all count on one hand how many places have made that happen.
The food is solid, if not spectacular, the service is always decent, the prices are fair and the portions are good - glad to have Feeney's in my area - it makes me feel like I am part of this town's history - and lets me step back in time a bit.
The advantage of not having updated is when you get inside, it's easy to forget the outside world. You're in a little time warp with a full bar, well executed food and none of the worries of the real world of 2012.
This is a great little hole in the wall.
Apparently theyre categorized as a steakhouse? Whatever. Ive never had a steak there but Ive tried a LOT of the rest of their menu. Delicious. Their reuben is my fave.
I love the atmosphere here. It looks a little fancier than it is. Very chill.
It's actually a great place to watch football on Sundays.
Pro: technically, theyre a Redskins bar.
Con: technically, theyre a Yankees bar.
I have been here on several occassions. Â Most for the Monday night special $4 hamburger which is one of the best I have tasted. Â Quality meat.
They have specials every night and mostly the same things. Â I had the prime rib special one night but nothing to write home about.,
Salad bar is good but not great. Â Not, a lot of choices, just average items.
Small semi private dining areas with about 6 to 8 tables in each.
Bar area which also has an area of dining tables.  Be sure if you sit at the bar to ask if the seat is reserved as there are locals who come in and if  you are sitting in their seat will let  you know.
Old school yo!
We're talking salad bar with beets, sunflower seeds and cottage cheese yo!
We're talking prime rib of Flintstonian proportions!
I met a group of good friends here recently. We were seated in a back (non window) room and my claustrophobia almost got the best of me. It was a pretty tiny room. Soon I decided it wasn't tiny. It was cozy. And soon the Coronas were a- comin' and the conversation was flowing.
Our server, a delightful woman, was efficient and friendly. And a shout out to her just for handling a group of a dozen or so yelpers! Can you imagine waiting on us lol!?!?
My prime rib and baked potato were pure perfection. The salad bar was fresh and fully loaded.
Much like myself towards the end of the evening.
The decor is all muraled-out if memory serves me. So there's a lot going on!
So Feeney's you got a new fan! Great place to take my folks, out of towners or anyone I think is worthy of the Feeney charm!!!
Yo!
Had a great night here with my boyfriend and new friends. First time and it was amazing. Food and service was above and beyond what I expected. The place is out of the way and looks dodgy from the outside but very warm and pleasant on the inside. Kinda pricey but worth it.
We tried the London Broil and it was tender and well seasoned. Also had a "Envious Passion" martini....it was radioactive green and was sensational!
I recommend this place for anything from hanging out with friends or family to a romantic dinner. Well worth it.
I'm updating my review of Feeney's, as when I read the review of my initial visit, I was sort of shocked. It is now one of my favorite restaurants in Phoenix.
First, make sure you check out their website for the nightly specials. Wednesday night is particularly great, with your choice of 5 freshly prepared entrees, including potato or vegetable, AND soup or salad for $10. Nice.
Second, when you check in on yelp, look for the instant 10% off coupon. Immediately. For that use. Not a "10% off after 4 visits" or a one time use. Every time.
Nice.
Third, I am always a bit taken aback by the sincere friendliness of the staff, especially the owner. She always remembers us, even when we haven't been for a few months and we are always greeted with a big hug and a hearty "Hello! Welcome back!". Nice.
Fourth, the salad bar that I was unimpressed with in my first review impresses me now not for its variety, but for its consistently fresh and always well stocked bounty. Not only leafy salads on the salad bar, but some slaws, a few pasta salad choices, and lots of very fresh veggies. And I'm a sucker for the carrots that have been shaved into curls and the cool fresh ground pepper mill. While you are getting your salad, the chef(s) will routinely visit with you, as the kitchen is right behind the salad bar. Nice.
On my visit last night, I started with the onion rings as an appetizer. They were good. No flavorgasm like the ones at Durant's, but then how could they compete with those? I had the $10 special Salisbury steak with mashed potatoes and salad. Salisbury steak has been much maligned by the Swanson TV Dinners of old. When done right, and Feeney's does it right, it is a flavorful piece of ground prime steak. Here's a hint, if they ask you how you want your Salisbury steak cooked, you pretty much know it is going to be better than the chopped steak meal you are going to get at other restaurants. The mushroom gravy is an added treat for both the steak and the mashed potatoes. Another at the table subbed the fresh veggies for the potato, and they were a nice assortment of zucchini, squash, and broccoli. Not a limp, greasy garnish like you get some places if you opt out of the potato portion. Nice.
Another hug upon our leaving. Goodbyes from the waiter and the bar staff. You can easily see why most of people you see in Feeney's are regulars. Count me as one now.
Sentimental college days date location!
Revisited this old fav of mine and it was "cheese-burger night! Â So a few of us had burgers which were delicious, but I had to stroll down memory lane and have my old favorite the base-ball cut sirloin. Â Â
All the food was very good and the salad bar was delicious and had not changed in 29 years!! Â The proprietors were very hands on and involved with service the entire evening....very refreshing to see and independent locals place survive this O-Bama economy!
Please give Feeney's a try!
I used to come for the booze (I actually still do!) but I wound up bringing my family in for dinner while they were visiting from out of town. Being the zealous consumer of lamb that he is, my father ordered the Greek-style lamb chops. Needless to say that every time he's in town, he HAS to go to Feeney's and have the lamb. He has since tried the pork chops (also Greek-style) and is just as much of a fan of those. I've brought in other family since who are also nuts about the lamb. So bottom line, if you're into lamb, come here and take it Greek-style!
Not a lamb eater myself, I usually get the filet mignon. There is just something about the way the filet is prepared, old-school style and not a lot of bells and whistles. Bells and whistles are not needed because it's just so damned good: tender and flavorful. What else is delicious? The calamari is AWESOME-probably one of my favorite in any restaurant anywhere.
The service here is above and beyond. Maria and George and the rest of the servers treat all of their customers like family which is why they have so much repeat business. In addition, you will never have an empty glass in front of you, whether is beer, wine cocktails, soda, coffee, even your glass of water is always refilled.
Sure there are other places in The Valley that are fancier where the food comes to your table almost too pretty to eat, but that comes with a price tag and often a nice appearance is used to mask inferior quality. Not the case here, you always enjoy a good, down-home, no-nonsense meal with great service and all at a VERY reasonable cost.
First some of my background....20+ years as a waitress, hostess, catering captain, catering business owner. Â
We arrived at 5 pm on 12/31.  The first words out of the hostess/owner's mouth were "do you have a reservation?"  Not a good sign.  I snuck a peek at the reservation book, and there were a handful before 6 pm but no more.  I said that no, we thought we were safe coming in at 5.  She gave us the stink-eye and  proceeded to make a big deal about "finding" a table.  This while there were maybe 2 tables occupied in the whole place.
We should have taken the opportunity to say "thank you very much" and turned around and walked away, but we did not...having been wanting to try this place for a long time.
We sat and were waited on by the hostess herself. Â Cordial enough, but no offering of a wine list or anything. Â Clearly getting the bum's rush from the beginning. Â We opted for a glass each of the house wine since no other options were given (generally we would order a bottle). Â The wine was horrible, watered down and flavorless. Â We ordered prime rib (Traditional cut) for $22 each. Â Salad bar was small but good and fresh. Â Meals were timed quickly after the salad was cleared. Â Prime rib was decent, mine was not medium rare but more medium, barely room temp. Â I had the steamed veggies which were done fine...husband had baked potato. Â We were quickly offered coffee which we refused...at this point we couldn't get out of there quickly enough. Â
While the food was decent and the prices were reasonable, it was the initial treatment and the feeling of needing to free up the table that will keep us from ever returning. Â Next time we will stay and have dinner at Dick's Hideaway where we had cocktails before venturing into Feeney's.
Monday nights you get a sirloin burger and fries for $4 -- awesome deal. Good burger. Add cheese, avocado, bacon, mushrooms, etc. for a small up charge. Get all you can eat (simple) salad bar for an additional $2.75. TVs with Monday night football in the bar and on the patio -- great, chill Monday night option.
Review Source:Went with a group to a happy hour with cheap burgers, and I mean they were like $4 or some really cheap price. Â Decent burger with a good serving of fries with it. Â What's to complain about?
I'm not sure what the "pull" is about this place since it is tiny and dark, but the locals in this city seem to just "love" Feeney's. Â Must be some kind of nostalgic thang that I am not getting yet.
Regardless, I'd like to try their liver and onions in the future, but this really isn't my cup of tea otherwise. Â Just another old institution in a major city that locals love is the way I see it....and nothing is wrong with that, too!
My husband and I had dinner here a month ago.  Always meant to eat here, but  20 years ago, we were too broke, and later we'd pass it, keep on driving and say "next time".  Â
Then we were broke again... :-)
I bought a <a href="/redir?url=http%3A%2F%2FRestaurant.com&s=0aab4cbd731f3d3b0d1453050d3abc56a8c80bd214e25469c7555b750dca8a51" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">http://Restaurant.com</a> certificate, and we headed over.
Two words: Â Really good. Â
Most of the reviews here sum it up well: Â
Retro, outdated decor. Â Old-school salad bar which includes Jello. Â Career wait staff. Â Funky add-on, remodel areas. Â Low ceilings. Â Tight, weird parking.
Our food was prepared perfectly to order. Â I had the filet medallions with the gorgonzola wine sauce- yum! Â My husband had prime rib, perfect.
The salad bar was fresh with LOTS of choices. Â Service was friendly and competent. Â
The mood in the place was familiar and comfortable- not a stuffy, pretentious feel. Â I enjoy an eclectic mix of clientele, and that's what they have here. Â No one looking to impress anyone by being at the local "who's who" location. Â Â Just local folks wanting a good dinner, in a comfortable place.
Three words: Â We'll be back.
Oh yeah. Now we are talking.
This place is so old-school every time I go there I feel like I should be driving an Olds Toronado and wearing a Jantzen Shirt-Jac. I want to travel back in time and show up with Angie Dickinson on my arm and smoke a fat cigar in their bar while calling the waitress "sugar". I walk through the front door and suddenly it's 1972.
And yes, these are good things.
The ceilings are low, there are no windows to speak of, and the the brick arches inside recall something like a German rathskeller.
Along with more modern dishes, the menu features old delights like Osso Bucco, Liver and Onions, and Beef Wellington. At the salad bar  you load up your pewter plate with julienned carrots among other things under a generic "Salad Bar" sign that probably came out of a Sysco catalog 30 years ago. Just behind the salad bar is the grill, steaming away under a large copper canopy. Watch and smell those delectable slabs of meat give up their aroma. An offering to the gods of polyester, Johnny Carson, and the man who reads Playboy.
The martinis are adequate, though not killer. Actually they are probably made the same way they were back when the place opened in 1965. It's only recently that "superpremium" ingredients have raised the standard to lofty heights.
On my most recent visit I had the grilled salmon-shrimp special which came with a couple of asparagus spears, a lemony-butter sauce, a few shrimp and steamed veggies for $21. Hey, as much as I fantasize I need to remember it's not 1972 anymore. Thanks to modern technology I know what my arteries look like. Though the flavors were good, I felt that both the salmon and the shrimp were both a little over-cooked. Overcooked shrimp are safe but rather tasteless. The sauce helped compensate, and the overall effect was satisfying.
I looked longingly at my companion's prime rib, which was delivered exactly as ordered: Medium rare. The prime rib is the star of the show in a joint like this.
There are nightly specials during the week that look like good values.
Though I wouldn't change a thing about the decor, they do need to look after bathroom maintenance a bit, and some background music would be nice.
I plan to return regularly to soak in that 70's flavor. I need to find some white shoes and a matching belt.
What can I say? Feeny's has quickly become one of our favorite places for dinner.
The hostess, Maria, is a star in every way: wonderful, happy, and its impossible to be a returning guest without a hug! Its just a bonus that she says "asparagus" with a Greek accent I find sexy, and my entire table laughs at me every time she says it! The busboy Nestor is usually our personal drink refiller, and a great guy all around.
The salad bar is exactly the same as every 1970s salad bar at the steakhouse your parents dragged you to, complete with GOOD jello!
Steaks are done really well, and its clear the chef cares about his customers. Maria will not hesitate to fix any that isn't perfect in her opinion, too!
The Beef Wellington is a nice treat, as is the Tornado Oscar and other specialties. Definitely try the Osso Bucco and the Greek lamb chops!
Decor isn't a strong point at all - its casual place and nobody cares how your dressed. The food is great and the staff is too!
What a cute little place that I never knew existed. I arrived there on Monday night for UYE that Miss Dottsy put together for us. The best part about it was that they had no idea that we were coming. They accommodated us even though we caught them by surprise and we told them there would be at least a group of 15 of us. No problem!! The owners were so personable and the waitress we had OMG. Her name was Linda but I called her "Bubbles" because that woman has a very, VERY bubbly personalty and she made it a point to remember all our names all night.
Now their were a few pros and cons.....
Pros
It was Monday night so the burgers were only $4.00. Although I didn't have one of my own, the bite that I did take was delicious and everyone said that they were good and juicy!
The owners were super friendly. They even bought us a round of beer and gave us each a shot of Ouzo! (I had to declined but wow!!! You could smell the Ouzo seeping from our group lol)
Happy hour prices are really great!! You can't go wrong here.
Linda made sure everyone had separate checks without us even asking. Double score for that one.
I was with a great group of yelpers. Definite plus.
Cons
Parking is a little difficult because the parking is small. But hey that just means you have to get there early!
Their was a weird smell upon arriving. From what I understood, thier had been a back up earlier that day that had been fixed but the smell lingered for awhile. It almost made me leave because it was a little overwhelming. As the night progressed, it did air out.
The area we were in, was very nice until it got dark. There was only one light in that area and made it very bright, but only on one side of the table
The food that people ordered (aka the burgers) came out in weird spurts and some had to wait a ridiculously long time for their food. It was weird but not a huge deal. But it is still a con.
Now will I go back? Absolutely. It really is a nicely hidden gem of a place.
Consistent is a great word to describe this place. The food is consistently great; the service is consistently great; the regulars are consistently there. (they're great too). It has a comfortable smoking/drinking patio and great prices during happy hour. The staff and owner is always (consistently) accommodating and friendly. You feel like you are part of the family here.
Food I'd recommend: Any fish served Greek style, the Prime Rib, the burgers and definitely the fillet medallions with the gorgonzola wine sauce. All the food is good though and you gotta love the salad bar!
We went back there again about a week ago.
The same things that appealed to me the first time annoyed me the second time.
Why valet parking? Its like having valet parking at a Lone Star. It doesn't make sense.
The hostess is...weird. The atmosphere is odd. Why is the kitchen attached to the salad bar?
Why the stupid cartoon building wall paper?
The steak with tender but tasteless.
Basically, it was a  bunch of blue collar workers who make less money than me acting like they were better than me.
Lame.
As I was reading the rest of the reviews of Feeney's prior to lodging my own, I realized that I have never been there for the dinner hour! So I can't comment on the lights, candles, and ambience aforementioned.
As Arik mentionined, Crystal is one of the best bartenders I have ever met! She has the best combination of customer service and sassiness that many of us bar regulars love. I've been to Feeney's a few times for drinks, and always had a great experience. They have a really cool patio for smokers as well.
I think the thing I love about this place is that there are so many regular fixtures, presumably from the neighborhood. The times I have been there have been the early happy hour times, and it feels like a neighborhood bar, except the median age of patrons is closer to my parents age than mine. But not in a creepy way.
I have had lunch there once, a few months ago, and it was very fine (3 stars). I had a club sandwich, my other 3 companions had sandwiches as well, and we were all satisfied.
The 4 stars comes from the bar, its patrons, and the bartenders.
This place rocks...it's simply the best neighborhood bar, with the greatest old timers hanging out there. I always enjoy my food, my drinks and the company - no one drinks alone here. Â Where else can you find a salad bar from the 70's still up and functioning with bacon bits...
There is a great burger deal on Tuesdays (I think) and they ahve a neat little patio with a TV.
I like Feeney's. I must because I have been eating there for over 10 years. I like the owner of Feeney's (partially because his name is so much fun to say - Elias Pantazopoulos - but he will answer to Louie). Over the years, there have been very few times that Louie hasn't stopped by our table to make sure everything was ok. And although I would like to think it's because I'm special... it's really not. He genuinely cares about the people that come to his establishment and wants them to feel comfortable expressing their likes or suggestions.
This place is small and mostly dark (the perfect place for a quiet dinner with your someone special) without one iota of pretentiousness. The brick walls, archways, and dark wood accents give it a little bit of an East coast feel topped off with the tiled exhibition kitchen complete with a shiney copper hood.
The menu is mostly comprised of great steaks and sea food, but there are always a large selection of daily specials that are sure to mix things up. Most meals come with a trip to the salad bar... but beware, portions are pretty large, so make sure not to overload before your meal ever arrives. They have a full service bar up in front and if you are looking for a different game venue, grab a seat in there. The drinks are very reasonably priced, strong, and never run dry. They also have a hearty list of apps that you can supplement your drinks with, for the perfect game day fix.
If you haven't over-indulged with your meal, you MUST order the Mud Pie. It is a ginormous slab of goodness! Dark chocolate cookie crust, loaded with coffee ice cream and topped with a super fudgy ganache layer that you will want to rub all over your body.
Feeney's is a genuine rarity. It's a great little steakhouse that serves up above average meat but doesn't have a foo-foo bone in its body. Call ahead to make sure they have a table and head over to Feeney's. Oh and as Laura B. mentions, they are on <a href="/redir?url=http%3A%2F%2Frestaurant.com&s=c5fe485af4df376130bee54f875814d79c4d7913e1258123b1206d2bdbf4873b" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">http://restaurant.com</a> so you can get a great deal on any meal.
I have to go now... there is a piece of pie calling my name!
Chances are you haven't heard of Feeney's.
It used to be the Cork 'n Cleaver twenty or thirty years ago, but it has since split off and now is its own steakhouse and bar.
I can't speak thoroughly as to the food, since it has changed substantially since my last visit to eat, but I understand that the menu has expanded and has a Greek flair to it now.
The bar, however, I can speak to. It is probably the darkest bar I have ever spent much time in and I love that about it. Their motto should be "Redefining Shady."
It is a dive in many respects, but the regulars may not agree with that. Drinks are cheap and easy to come by in the very small bar area, and everyone seems to know the bartenders by name. If they know you and like you, you can even request music or bring in a CD and they may play it for you while you sip a smokey gin and tonic. But play your cards right, because they absolutely play favorites.
The patio is comfortable for one group only but, it's all yours if you get it first.
