A great place to watch the game while having an affordable drink and enjoying great food. The food in particular is much better than you would expect from a normal neighborhood bar. Be careful though, the owners, staff & customers are really friendly; you could find yourself hanging out here a lot.
Review Source:I've been to Finz twice now - both on weekend nights. Friday nights are packed, so be warned! We sat at the bar both times and came specifically for peel & eat shrimp. The price is reasonable for Charlotte and both times they've come out of the kitchen still steaming hot and drenched in Old Bay - my favorite!
This isn't a fancy place by any means, but if you're in the area looking for a cold brew and some bar fare give them a shot!
Next time I may have to check out their wings, they look delicious!
I read all the reviews after my girlfriends decided to drag me out to see a Band last night. The place was not packed so parking wasn't an issue (we got there around  8:30pm but it was Good Friday after all).
No meat so we he had the veggie platter with hummus, coconut shrimp with spicy orange dipping sauce, fried calamari with an asian chili type sauce, crab meat stuffed mushrooms.
I have to say the food was excellent! Portions split amongst us were perfect, this is not your typical bar food. In fact, if you've ever been to Bonfire in Monroe while its a lot bigger - the food here at Finz is head and shoulders above them, and I know my food at every level :) Â Bonfire I'd pass on sorry.
Bathrooms are very clean, the bar itself and tables are as well, and the Waitress we had was a sweetheart! Loved her, very attentive. The prices were perfect! Nothing broke the bank, which is why we were able to get a bunch of appetizers and sample a nice variety of picky foods! Great menu!
Saw kids leaving around 9pm with parents so there are high tables to eat at. I know you can book parties there, they apparently have two tonight per the waitress. I'd absolutely consider it for a party esp. with bands like Smiling Dogs or SugarSmax.
All in All, if you want a nice night out with friends, able to see and hear a band from anywhere in the bar (by the way they were not so loud that you left with a headache like Skinnyz). Apparently they have an outdoors area that we will definitely be back this summer to try out. LOVED the band, hope to see another tonight, you can't beat free as in no cover charge (please don't change that!) and close to home.
I think we'll try the burgers tonight to see how other items on the menu are but kudos to the chef there. The salads that walked by looked awesome too.
*Note: we wanted the Caprese Skewers but they were out of Mootz :( and I saw someone walk by with a pizza that looked just a littttttle too dark, but still give them four stars, we are fans and will be back.
You have a winning mix there, don't change anything!
Yikes...almost gave this place 4 stars while I was thinking about the food and then I remembered the service.
The food is very good for your standard bar food fare. I shared some giant nachos with friends and then had a chicken sandwich with mac and cheese. The mac and cheese is what you want to try if you do make it here. You can tell it is custom made and loaded with butter, cheese and deliciousness.
Now, on to the service.....I'm not sure if it was just the night we were there or the server but man we couldn't have been left waiting in the wings much more than we were. The server was slow to take our orders, didn't check up on us and then took forever to get our food to us(could have been back of the house). For those of us having water we were down to dividing up our unused water rations at the end.
Other than our service, which may have been to a off night, the place is pretty nice.
I recently decided to try this restaurant because I drive by it everyday to work. I love seafood and the name made me think, "fresh and yummy." The place was very friendly and kinda the local bar hang out restaurant, which was fine. Â I really was not in the mood for oldies rock, or any loud rock music while I am eating lunch in the middle of the day during the workweek. Â It just made it difficult to talk with the person I was eating with, which was a deterrent to go there as a lunch location.
I liked the offerings and the prices were reasonable, however I was disappointed that a restaurant with the name of "Raw" did not seem to offer much raw or "Grill."
The atmosphere was great for "partying." However, for the age group it attracts (over 30) do they want to "party" every time they go to a bar or restaurant?
Will I give it another go? Maybe...try it one more time. I was disappointed because it has so much potential and I want to love the place. At least turn down the music during lunch. Just an idea. The fish tacos were not that great.
Although the service was excellent, my family and I were very disappointed by the availability of items on the menu. We called ahead to make sure that they had oysters, but were told that they were out about five minutes after we had placed our order. Shortly after, we were informed that they were also out of the seafood pasta dish which two of the people in our party had ordered. I can't understand why a restaurant with "raw bar" in it's name would be so nonchalant about running out of oysters. Very disappointing. The food wasn't impressive enough to make us give it another try.
Review Source:Cute place with nice outdoor patio, little chilly for use though. Â Inside is clean. Â Your local kinda place were you can have a good time. Â Service was great, our waitress did a great job. Â Had the wings and oysters which were huge . Â To bad they tried to steal my friends iPhone she left m the table.
Review Source:My wife and I have been here allot. Finz is one of those places that you will either love or hate. We are those that LOVE Finz. We have learned what to order and not to order so it makes it easy for us when we go. The cook made a chili that they don't always make nor have on the menu but it was very, very good and wish it was an item that would be permanent. The Cheese Burger is also a really good choice. The fries are one of the best things there as well as their fried pickles with the ranch dressing. Our fav is their chicken tenders which we ask that they toss them in the cajun seasoning and we dip them in their ranch dressing. Man are they tasty. The beer selection is o.k. but we wish they had more room for more taps so maybe they could get a broader selection of the local craft brews. But all in all, Finz is a happening place with live bands some nights and a decent amount of TV's hanging everywhere for the game.
Review Source:Been here when it was Vinnie's, but finally got around to coming back to try it under its new name: Â Finz. Â
Parking is sort of a nightmare depending on what night you go on. Â This particular night, it wasn't so much busy, it's just that the people the parked before did not make an effort to stay in their spaces. Â In a tight parking lot, this is detrimental. Â We did manage to find a space.
Upon walking in, we were warmly greeted and seated right away. Â They were having trivia on a Tuesday night. Â It was almost halfway in so we figured it had started pretty early (7 or 7:30).
I honestly couldn't remember what the Vinnie's dining room setup looked like, but the current Finz set up was cozy and casual. Â The menu was pretty extensive - took a while to read through, but had lots of options. Â You can get anything from a decently priced sandwich to a sizable seafood dinner (with items at market prices).
There was a yelp check-in special where we got 6 free wings. Â Our waitress was super nice and gave them to us... a little while later, the manager wanted to see my phone, but no problems.
It was Shrimp night on Tuesdays so I got a basket. Â They were breaded nicely and not too greasy.... they came with a tartar dipping sauce and I chose a baked potato as my side. Â I was pretty satisfied with my meal and would come back to order it again. Â The wings we got were good - decided to try the parmesan garlic wings. Â Light on the sauce (in a good way) they proved to be tasty - I'm sure the other flavors probably would have had more kick to them, but they were cooked nicely.
Overall, Finz gets a solid 4 from me. Â Matthews is lucky to have a place like this that is centrally located and easy to get to.
