Finnegan's Bar & Grill

Not so fantastic gluten-free options but the regular menu is good for other members of the family. I have a MSG intolerance and I got sick after. Apparently, some of their items have MSG.

Very knowledgeable, however we had multiple different allergies in the group, and all of the allergy items came out on the same tray. Some people ordered things that overlapped with other’s allergies, and cross contamination seemed to be a risk on the allergy tray.

Update: went again the following day, had the grilled chicken sandwich. No problems there, no reaction either time. Very good food!

The service was great and they were really clear on what's safe. Very helpful. I got a chicken sandwich and subbed the fries out for roasted veggies since the fries are in a shared fryer / cross contaminated. The food was really tasty and the portion size of vegetables they served with the food was generous.

Most of the menu can be made gluten free. Our waiter Andrew was knowledgeable of the menu and the possibilities to eat safely. Anything fried and the sausage is off the plate as well as other few things. We had burgers that are taken care of in a separate place and supervised, identified and brought to the table by the manager. The food was delicious and we enjoyed the meal a lot.

Staff is very knowledgeable. They can make all sandwiches and burgers GF and have GF buns (not listed on menu, just ask waiter). Got Dublin chicken sandwich with mashed potatoes and it was very good and came out separately and marked. 10/10!

Had lunch here and it was delicious. Nice break from traditional theme park food. Staff was knowledgeable about GF options. I ordered a sandwich on a GF bun, clearly marked when delivered and the waiter knew about cross contamination and helped me to order a safe side. Felt great after eating!!

We ate here twice on our trips to universal It did not state on the menu which items were gluten free however the 2 different servers we had on each visit were very knowledgeable. Son (the person with coeliac) had burger each time (with gluten free bun) Fryer not gluten free & servers knew the fries were therefore not safe But other sides were offered - first time son had boiled potatoes, then garlic mash. Both times no symptoms after eating here Would recommend

So good that we are here two days in a row! Such a great respite and atmosphere to take a break from the busyness of the park. They have gluten free buns for their sandwiches. Their side of root vegetables and cabbage was great. Honestly, I’d go back for the service, too. The first day we sat at a table. Our server was knowledgeable about gluten-free options. The second day, we sat at the bar and had a great time! The bartenders were knowledgeable and energetic and so so kind. Everyone running the food specified the gluten free plate which always help me to feel good. The fryers are not separate so no fried options are gluten free. Honestly, the burger with the GF bun and side of veggies was a perfect option for the park-filled day.

Well versed in GF. All staff were able to immediately address questions and provide assurance of safety precautions to avoid cc. Daughter with high anxiety eating out was beyond comfortable. We ate here two nights in a row!

We ate here today. There is no gluten-free menu, but the staff said the chef was knowledgable. Corned beef and cabbage was ordered as it was recommended as a GF option. Unfortunately, the food had bad cross-contamination resulting in the typical stomach issues. Otherwise, the restaurant was nice and the bathrooms were clean.

Celiac friendly?

No

The chef came out to create a meal for me! I chose a burger patty with lettuce and bacon and a side of root veggies, broccoli, & cabbage! Perfect and a great lunch!!!

My 3 kids and I ate here on the 4th of July. The chef talked to us about their cooking to serving process, how they prevent cross contamination, etc... We had the Chicken with mashed potatoes, broccoli, and cabbage. The meal was amazing and our server was awesome. I would defiantly recommend this place if you have Celiac Disease or not!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Have a separate gluten free menu - after that I don’t have a lot of good to say. It took almost an hour to get our food. We watched the same experience for those around us (so we knew it wasn’t just because of our allergy needs). We ordered the corned beef sandwich and it warned corned beef!!! It was roasted beef with a few spices to try and pass as corned beef. This was our worst dining experience at the park.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Oscar was wonderful, the corned beef on the gf roll was delicious! Thank You!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

wow excellent food and service and wasn't overly priced or crowded. wish they'd figure out if their thousand island is gluten free or get seperate for celiacs but even without it the Ruben was great.

Celiac friendly?

Great surprise in the park. A separate gf menu. Some say it’s small but I thought it was a nice selection. I had the gf bun with a burger with mash and veggies. Service was great and went out of their way to make me feel taken care of!!

Very nice Black Bean Burger on a Gluten Free Bun served with Fresh Fruit 💖

Tres bon restaurent , 100% sécuritaire ! Prix abordable!

Fabulous gluten free black bean burger on a gluten free bun! This meal was a 5 outta 5 by sure. Service was phenomenal too. Came here on Halloween horror nights and got seated right away. Got the drinks in a minute, meal in 5 minutes. LOVE LOVE LOVE this place!!!!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

ate here last night during HHN. staff was very knowledgeable about my celiac and dairy allergy. Sadly the buns were not safw for dairy allergy but I waa able to have a delicious burger on no bun with veggies as a side. the buger was the best I've had in a while. they also offer corned beef and chicken sandwitches as well as corned beef alone with cabbage and a few other things.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

They have a gluten free menu but it is EXTREMELY limited. I have a hard time picking because of this. The food is okay. I really only come here for the drinks.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

they had a short gluten free menu handy which included a half dozen items or so including a hamburger with gluten free bun.

No dedicated fryer but the gluten free bun was very good, soft and editable. They also have Strongbow and will provide to go cups for walking around the park.

This was a really nice resting stop during our Universal Studios trip. The prices were reasonable comparibly in the park , and the portions and quality were decent.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Has a gluten-free menu. Tasty shrimp appetizer with gf bread, and yummy sage corned beef and cabbage.

ordered a salad waitress said all dressings were gf asked her if she was sure she said 99% turns out only 3 are gf if I had listened to her and not pushed about it I would have been very sick

Very disappointed in dinner. First off, the music was WAY too loud. I shouldn't have to shout at my family to be heard. As far as the food goes the GF options were sad. They had about 6 choices, but it was all "without the sauce". The only salad dressing choice was vinegar and oil. I asked what brand dressing they used several times and the only answer I got was "the chef checked and you can't have it". Not sure why I couldn't know what brand they use. My daughter is the one who needs the gf meal. She said her chicken had no seasoning and tasted burned. The root veggies and broccoli were hard and flavorless. Her mashed potatoes had no flavor either. The rest of our meals (non gf) were mediocre. We certainly won't be back. I must say Universal does not even come close to Disney with regard to accommodating special meals.

Daughter had steak & veggies with no issues. Only reason I'm not giving a 5 is because I'm spoiled by Disney where the manager comes out to reassure us of the process. Server was knowledgable but I like to talk to the kitchen manager.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

They do not advertise gluten free options that I found, so it was a delight when I asked if they had options and she handed me a gluten free listing of options. Excellent food. Was able to get plain boiled red potatoes instead of other starch options. Great service, knowledgable staff.
