Quick info
About The Finn
On Main Street, The Finn brings together several individual restaurant vendors, including Craft Burger, Malá, Low Tide, and Papalo, under one roof in an art deco food hall. The setup is cafeteria style, with diners picking up trays and clearing their own tables rather than ordering through table service. A central bar anchors the room with multiple TVs, alongside menu items spanning Bibimbap, Kimchi Fried Rice, and the Bacon BBQ Burger, drawn from a 19 dish menu across the vendors. Reservations are recommended given how the room can fill up. A step-free, wheelchair-accessible entrance serves visitors with mobility needs, and outdoor seating extends the dining area beyond the main hall. The bar is open daily. Food is also available for takeaway, for those eating off site. The food hall sits within walking distance of the downtown train line.

Customer Review Summary
Craft Burger's fried chicken and burgers draw the most repeated praise, with reviewers calling the chicken phenomenal, crispy, and juicy, though one diner found the fries excessively salty. Close behind, the food hall's variety keeps coming up, from the cumin beef and tiramisu crepe cake at Mala to the poboy and oysters at Low Tide, the tacos at Papalo, and coconut shrimp sliders and a chocolate shake also from Craft Burger. The cocktail bar and bartenders earn consistent warmth, described as welcoming, with one reviewer naming a specific bartender who made potent, well-crafted drinks; happy-hour prices and the beer and cocktail selection are mentioned favorably too. The open, industrial food-hall setup and individual seating suit solo diners and groups alike, though a few note it gets loud and crowded at peak times, and the self-bussing, no-table-service format bothers some. One reviewer describes a distinctly bad visit during a busy event, citing an 80% out-of-stock menu at one stall, a rude cashier, and an unhelpful bartender. Several say they'd return, with one recalling ordering a second round of tacos after finishing the first.

“Went here on a Saturday and it was full of people. Very nice vibe and many choices to choose from. I tried all the tacos from Papalo and man they were all good. Maybe I was hungry, maybe I was greedy, maybe I'm talking too much and need to order another round of tacos.”
- Max Triola
“A food hall with lots of tasty choices, spacious eating areas, clean restrooms. Parking was goofy but they do validate.”
- Paul Lavin
“Bring a down jacket if you want to eat in. Breakfast at the CrankyCarrot was good. Too many healthy option including juices.”
- Brenda Hignight
“Variety in one place. Bartender was great, made me a Pina Colada on Pina Colada Day. Not a drink they normally have so I appreciated that. Burger was good. Salad at Pizza spot was fresh.”
- John Rechtien
“Food options surrounding a bar with TVs. Plenty of food options to choose from. Drinks were reasonably priced. Great location right on the train line and walkable from anywhere in the area. Did some pre gaming for world cup and Astros games. The upstairs speakeasy was a nice atmosphere. Recommended if you haven't been here!”
