JR Phinickeys

This place SUCKS. The staff is horrible at what they do. They don’t like out of towners. Which brings them business. I wish I could give negative stars for this review. But it wouldn’t let me.

Been here three times and each time the service is HORRIBLE. The only reason I am giving it a second star is because the prices are pretty fantastic.

I always liked the burgers and fries at Eddies Trackside and when they closed several months ago I was bummed. Saw a review that said JR Phinickeys had the best fries in town, so we decided to check it out. I had been in the place once before, but just to have a beer so this was my first trip for food. I ordered the cheeseburger and fries and WOW… I was impressed. The burger was juicy and the bun super fresh and the home cut fries were super! We also tried the buffalo chicken cheese sticks, and while they were very simple (appeared to be pre-​packaged frozen cheese sticks topped with Franks Hot Sauce) they were quite spicy and delicious. My wife had the Philly Cheese Steak which I got to sample. It was good but I thought the burger beat it by a mile. Manny’s on tap so what else do you need… I can’t wait to go back as one visit made this my go-​to burger joint in the area! Plenty of flat screen TVs around as well so this would be a good game day joint.

Fun Saturday night, GREAT band playing. Started getting a little crazy about 9PM though, time for us old folks to head home. I’m sure they were hopping late into night.

Went looking for a local dive bar and found this one… everything it should be with games, TV’s music etc.
Better than average pub food and a decent beer selection. Nice crowd with mixed demographics. Friendly attentive bar staff,
I find this to be the place to go when I feel like being more involved in pool, darts etc while Eddie’s is my choice for more laid back evenings.

Best fries in Monroe! Menu is typical pub food.
Cheap gut-​rot beer and some good stuff on tap, too.

Chill ambiance with old butt rock. Sports on tv, jukebox, pool tables, and electronic dart boards. Old local dudes eating peanuts and shucking the shells on the floor! Blue moon and mannys on tap, very cold. Pizza was mediocre but the burger was amazing and the fries were hand cut deliciousness!
