Finn McCool's

A bunch of my coworkers wanted to hit up Finn McCool's for a birthday lunch recently, and since I'd never been, I figured what the hay.  I drive by this place all.the.time, but I've never ventured in, mostly because it always sounded to me like a cheesy Irish theme bar, and I'm not Irish (didn't even get to eat my Lucky Charms when I was a kid).  
Upon setting foot into the restaurant, I came to the realization that it IS a cheesy Irish themed restaurant/bar (at least my expectations were on par).  They have typical bar food and a large assortment of drinks.  I decided to go go the safe route and get the grilled cheese with tomato and bacon, because it's pretty hard to screw up a grilled cheese, AND this one promised cheese on the outside and on the inside.  I do love me some cheese.  In an attempt to health-ify my lunch in the slightest bit, I opted for a side salad instead of chips or fries.  When I asked for Italian dressing, I got a semi-dirty look and was told they don't have ITALIAN dressing; they have BALSAMIC...oops.  The grilled cheese was everything my stomach could imagine, and the salad was pretty tasty too.  The portions were big enough that I barely finished half the sandwich, and like a good little girl, I finished my salad and took the other half of the grilled cheese home for later.
All in all, if you're looking for the type of Irish bar that only an American could dream up, Finn McCool's your Huckleberry.  For as good as the grilled cheese turned out to be, I just might be back for more.

This wasn't a very pleasant experience and I have nothing positive to say about this place. They had no drinks menu and the food that we ordered wasn't good at all.

We got the buffalo shrimp, stuffed shrooms, nachos and it felt like some of the stuff was microwaved, and didn't taste much better than what you'd expect if you bought frozen food.

I can't think of a single redeeming thing about this place, and don't see myself going there again.

This place was recommended by the best western staff across the parking lot.  It was a dark and stormy night when I went, so not too crowded.  The Guinness pour was good and the angry SOB burger was delicious after a long day's drive.  The bartender was nice and service was efficient and non-intrusive.  All-in-all a good eating experience while on the road.
