My wife and I received a gift card that we wanted to use between Christmas and Newyears. We decided to go to our usual spot in Orangeville. I understand the chain has been sold to Foodtastic which might be the reason for the decline in...quality. The last visit a month or so ago we returned a spinach dip that was horrible and change it to calamari. This visit the Calamari was in the deep fryer way too long as it was close to being burned and hard. Our meals were mediocre my wife had the Cajun salmon bowl and I had the new mushroom burger. The salmon portion was quite small and on the edges burned and the fries that came with the burger were hard as rock. I was too polite to tell them the food was not good but am writing this review. After being home for 20 minutes I am in one bathroom and my wife is in another. Oh well live and learn. I will not be going back to this restaurant and definitely do not recommend it to anyone.More

After a hike on the island, friends and I had an early dinner here. There were many of us in the group but our server was so patient and polite taking our orders. I had the chicken burger (beautifully crisp), a salad and the French...onion soup. It was a good meal, indeed.More

First time visiting today since pre-Covid, prior to that this was actually a favorite spot to visit by my wife and I as the fish and chips were pretty good. Today however was a much different story. Fries were extremely salty, the fish a 2...piece meal was just barely cooked and soggy (and that was after I had asked for it to be lightly battered). The quality of this has significantly dropped since last visit which is a major disappointment. It at best gets 2 stars as the server was friendly otherwise a 1 star would have been awarded.More

This is a great restaurant for comfort food, they have mostly pub grub and there is something for everyone. I highly recommend the mini yorkies but the fish and chips and burgers are fab too. My older parents do not go out for lunch and...they loved it. Brittany our waitress was very patient, polite, professional and just super niceMore

My husband and I came in for 2-fisted Friday and were served by a wonderful man named Gavin. His service was fantastic as was his company. The team here at Fionn MacCools in Orangeville works very well together and it was a pleasure and privilege...to be in such hospitable company.More

We walked in for lunch. Right away noticed the restaurant was understaffed. Only saw one server who seemed to be the greeter, busser, bartender, and server all in one. However the straw that broke the camels back is when we waited nearly 10 minutes to...our our order in while our server sat talking about travel to our neighbouring table (not like she was busy with work duties). What made this all worse was what appeared to be the manager standing a few tables away watching this all go down. Ultimately we put some cash down to cover our drinks then left to another restaurant where we received better service. Would not recommend.More

Service was a little slow but it was worth the wait. Food was excellent. Price was good since my sister in law was paying.

We specifically went there for the french onion soup as no one carries it anymore. It was simply amazing along with the burger meal and the poutine was awesome! The service was exceptional and the atmosphere was good. We were served by SARAH and we...have not had service like that in a very long time! It was simply FANTASTIC! Wonderful place to relax and have some good foodMore

I have been to Ireland. The food at fion maccools is no where near a good representation of Irish food. Real Irish food is not bland and just covered in salt. Someone in the company (a chef perhaps?) needs to visit Dublin and see what...the food is really like. Maccools does have good service and a great selection bof beers.More

Went for dinner with my wife while staying in a hotel near Orangeville. The service staff were the best we have experienced in a long time, doing everything to make our visit successful and enjoyable. My shepherds pie special was very tasty and filling. My...wife had the butter chicken curry that ended up being way too hot for her, but she did order it hot. She had to unfortunately return it with no questions asked and many apologies by the staff.More

Stopped in for an early dinner on our way back home from Collingwood on Sunday afternoon. We didn’t know exactly what we wanted but when I saw the Fionn sign and after a good meal at a sister establishment I said to the wife let’s...give it a try. The restaurant was not busy because we were probably ahead of the dinner rush. What stood out was the music volume, one would think they were setup for a raucous Saturday night instead of a Sunday dinner crowd. The restaurant is on the smaller side and very neat and clean, wait staff were attentive and welcoming. The food was diametrically opposites, my wife thought her Shepherds Pie was one of the nicer offerings she has had, I ordered the Sunday beef wrap special that was disappointing. The meal is basically a wrap that contains a little beef and a lot of mashed potatoes and a few sliced carrots. The mashed potatoes were overwhelming and made the meal soft and sloppy with very little texture. Probably won’t stop again on our way thru townMore

Three couples enjoyed a casual dinner at Fionn’s. The service here is always excellent! It was very busy but that didn’t impact the service one bit! Everyone enjoyed their meals.
