Fionn MacCool’s - Hamilton, Ontario

We were served by Jackson, who did a fantastic job. He was very friendly and attentive. The food and mixed drinks were delicious, kudos to the kitchen staff. It was a quiet night, due to a mix of it being a Sunday and some not great weather, but despite that ... the atmosphere in the restaurant was nice, not awkwardly quiet or anything. Thanks for the lovely night! Read more

Pretty upset with how tonight's order went. Usually like this restaurant, but I couldn't believe it when I took a bite into my meal. The burger that you will see was not cooked, and the ravioli that we received was extremely salty, and we only got 4 of them. I ... will not be eating here again. Read more

We’ve been here plenty of times for drinks and a couple staff parties. I’ve never eaten here though. The fella across from us had the Jameson Honey Garlic Bites and said they were delicious. I do know the bartenders have always been friendly and the beer has been cold. Update - My fiancé ... and I booked a section of the restaurant for a family function on February 3rd. We had a great experience. Our server Ilayda was fantastic! She remained friendly, attentive and placid through the afternoon, even in the face of an unexpected torrent of two large groups of Kevin’s and Karen’s hiding under of the guise of hockey moms and dads. I heard the one group unleashing on the manager about a 15 minute wait. One group did not even leave a penny tip on an $1100 bill (I should clarify, on 40 bills that added up to that amount). My entire group enjoyed every part of our afternoon, even in the constant flurry of miniature hockey players running around like it was their private playground as all the Kevins and Karens searched high and low for something to complain about. Thank you to Jacob and Jessie too. Read more

Absolutely love the setup in here. It seems like a really awesome place to come and have drinks in the evening. They had the doors open to the patio, which looked great, but it was so hot and humid inside because of it (we were hot the whole time). We ... ordered the Jameson Honey Garlic Bites, Baked Chicken & Bacon Penne and the Fish & Chips. The bites were delicious, the penne was really nice and flavourful and the fish pieces were huge (we were told they vary in size and she got lucky that day lol) but she didn't absolutely love it. I've been to the Windsor location before and can say their bomber shots are awesome! Read more

This month I had dinner at Fionn MacCool’s in Stoney Creek. I did some online research and was happy to see that they have a nutritional and allergen page. What surprised me was how comprehensive it is. Excellent nutritional information (including macros and vitamins), the allergen lists were such a ... relief for me. I knew exactly what I could eat before I even got there. From the outside the place looks small, don’t let that fool ya. It is deceptively spacious inside. We didn’t call ahead for a reservation and at 5pm got seated immediately by Dante. Our waitress, Taylor, arrived quickly to take our drink orders, as well as asking if there were any food allergies (Greatly Appreciated!). There was a slight mix-up with our drinks but Taylor was on it and promptly had it resolved. We dove right into mains, I ordered the Steak & Frites, and became concerned when Taylor looked uncomfortable when I said I wanted “blue rare”. I prepared myself for a less than perfect steak experience. The noise level and background music were not overwhelming and we did not have to yell to be heard. The mains came out and I cut open the steak, noting how easy it was to slice. The color was perfect! The char on it was perfect. The flavor was to die for! It melted in your mouth and had a flavor party that kept going. I have to be honest; I have not had this perfect a steak in a long time. This was beyond anything I’ve ever gotten at the Keg. The fries were crips, well seasoned and stayed hot for most of the dinner. The onion strings were also crunchy and not over battered. The Red Sangria paired well with it. Desert was Churros with a Spiced Chocolate Sauce and French Vanilla Ice Cream, oooh la la! Such a lovely finish to a great dinner! The sauce was light, not heat spicy just full of flavor. It was well accompanied by the ice cream. Despite sharing the dessert, we ended up bringing some home with us. A great place to have a solid meal. I was not disappointed at all and will go back. 5 out of 5 stars! Read more
