Finney's was such a special experience! Josiah, our server, was perfect in every way. He would check on us and remember every detail about our order and preferences, demonstrating the sharpness of his mind. We were surprised when he said he had worked there less than a year because he knew the menu like the back of his hand. Atmosphere was good. Food was good. read more

We were visiting Laguna Beach and hungry and thirsty while walking around so we stopped in Finneys. Friendly staff sat us and took really good care of us. Great decor and very open so it was nice to enjoy the fresh ocean air while we sat inside. Food was very good and priced reasonably, the beverages quenched our thirst and amazingly delizioso. So when you see Finneys especially this location, mosy in and pull up a seat. You won't be disappointed. Ciao read more

I absolutely love Laguna Beach and go into all establishments there with high expectations. Finney's Crafthouse has a prime location on PCH and the one thing I loved was our street-side table offering a front-row seat to the stylish locals, casual beach-goers, exploring visitors while enjoying the coastal breeze. Terran (sp?) was adorable and began serving with high energy and attentiveness. However, we had completely finished our appetizers and had no drink refills or ability to order another cocktail and simply felt abandonded. Upon her eventual return she appeared more flustered, took our meal and drink orders (which she forgot) and it just went downhill from there unfortunately. Since I was unable to get Terran's attention to inquire on the contents of my husband's cocktail, I had to go directly to the bartender. I was surprised at the lack of helpfulness and that instead of taking my question as a welcoming experience to show/explain how Finney's make this particular drink and help clarify why it may not have looked and tasted similar to what he was used to, this bartender immediately went on the defense and had an offensive attitude and made it in front of me to "prove" to me that all the ingredients were in fact included. It wasn't JUST about that. I have never experienced such a lack of customer service. (What I also felt immediately was that this was not the first time this particular concern regarding this same drink has come up.) As a former bartender myself, FYI, I am quite familiar with how drinks are made as well as proper bartender etiquette and behavior. My husband said this cocktail tasted "funny" not simply that this "one" ingredient may not have been included so I was in fact curious what the components were so I was very happy to let him make it in front of me. Needless to say, Finney's has a great airy casual atmosphere if you're looking for fun with big-screen tvs for sports with a massive variety of craft brews and a sizeable menu that includes many fun bar foods like wings, pizzas, tacos and tater tots. My husband and I also enjoyed competing against other locations on the tabletop trivia game. I may have had more of a positive experience if I went with different intentions and less expectations. But again, they're in Laguna Beach so... Very disappointed. :( read more

As a mom, finding a place that feels both fun and family-friendly can be a challenge--but this spot in Laguna totally delivered. After a long beach walk, it was the perfect place to unwind without feeling like I had to switch into "date night only" mode. The atmosphere is upbeat and welcoming, with a laid-back coastal vibe that makes you want to stay awhile. What really stood out to me was how comfortable it felt bringing the family along--no awkward stares, just a genuinely inclusive environment. The staff deserves a shoutout--they were consistently outgoing, attentive, and completely on point. You can tell they enjoy what they do, and it makes a big difference in the overall experience. Whether you're stopping by after the beach or just looking for a relaxed, fun place to hang out, this is definitely one I'd come back to. Big win from a mom's perspective! Flight iof Margaritas is perfect. Philly cheesesteak egg rolls are delish too. read more

I was conflicted between 4 & 5 stars. What was the deciding factor was going back for lunch the following day and the food & service was superb. Yesterday we stopped by for dinner and used the wait list feature on here (highly recommend). The service was honestly slow. Not so much our server, who later shared he was actually in the bar area far from us, but the others who would ask if we needed something then not come back with it. In terms of food, we shared the coconut shrimp appetizer based on my peers reviews on here! I agree they were good! For my entree I had the poke bowl which was decent. My husband had the salmon bowl which he wasn't so much of a fan of the quinoa. Now today for lunch, totally different story. Our server was awesome and attentive. I had the southwest bowl which was absolutely delicious. I also tried their blood orange mojito cocktail which was amazing! My husband had the finney burger he says was good and the tater tots - they are battered and BOMB! He shared them with me :) You definitely have to try this place. Good food, service and at a reasonable price! read more

The service was very slow, and my truffle fries order was mixed up with regular fries, which was disappointing. That said, the food itself was very good.

We had an amazing dinner at Finney's Crafthouse in Laguna Beach. My triple burger was perfectly cooked and full of flavor. The tater tots were probably the best I've ever had, I'd take down another large right now if I could. The atmosphere had a great energy without ever getting too loud. We were seated far enough from the bar to enjoy the buzz of people watching the games without being overwhelmed by the crowd. The open windows let in the ocean air and made the dinner even more enjoyable. I'd definitely recommend and come back! Prices were not crazy either! W all around. read more

Finney's Craft House in Laguna Beach is a medium size footprint, bigger energy, family friendly, beer lovers, sports bar experience. It is The Point meets Yard House. They usually have the large front windows open so you get the beautiful Laguna Beach weather and vibe at all times. The bar has a lot of woodgrain and dark metal and always feels like it could be just a tiny bit cleaner throughout. Service is quick without being brisk and efficient. The menu is large and the food is tasty and reliable. Burger sizes are substantial! It also has a large size menu of rotating taps and includes seltzers and cider as as well as specialty drinks for those who don't do beer. The restaurant footprint is much larger than the bar footprint and you may face a weight to get a table or a seat. They are dog, friendly and beach friendly. We've been here a number of times and will be back again. read more

After a nice Laguna Beach sunset, dined on to Finney's Crafthouse. Very nice American fusion restaurant. Seated right away no waiting on a Sunday. The place was filled with sports channels suited for Sunday night football. Our server Antonio was so nice and attentive. We ordered shrimp Bison Burger with fries, Ahi Poke Bowl, Mahimahi tacos, thin crust carpaccio with arugula pizza . The foods were delicious and freshly served. Very satisfying. Be back again once in Laguna. read more

So glad we stumbled in here. Tessa at the host stand greeted us with a smile and a friendly attitude, such a good start. Beer wise, they've got a great California draft lineup. I tried the Finney's Maple Brown (brewed in Laguna) malty, a little darker than my usual, but super smooth. I asked for a cider next and got kombucha by mistake (honestly, not bad!), but the cider ended up being my favorite. I love a crafted drink, but I always enjoy a draft beer. The wide variety they offer has something for everyone. I need to come back just to work through the taps. Eyeing the Cali Cream next time. Food: we came for the mini lobster rolls and they delivered, buttery with that subtle sweetness of the Hawaiian roll. The bacon and blue burger was juicy and packed with flavor; peppered bacon, blue cheese, crispy onions and yuzu buffalo. Owen, our server, was on it with recommendations and stayed attentive even during the rush. Eli, the assistant manager, checked in and surprised us with extra churros for dessert, crisp outside, soft inside. The atmosphere is relaxed and casual with TV's throughout to catch a game. Really enjoyed the friendly service, solid drinks, and tasty bites. We will definitely be back. read more

Great service, friendly crowd, yummy bar food. Large menu of bar food and apps which was delicious. Favorites were the wagyu burger, truffle fries, onion rings and the poke nachos topped with Fresno chiles that were spicy, fresh and delicious. Had the Juicy, Guava and Thousand Steps IPA's. Watched the Bills and Niners games. Great crowd, delicious food, attentive staff and wonderful selection of beers. Had a wonderful time on our couples weekend getaway. Highly recommend. We're from the Bay Area and felt welcome wearing SF Niners gear. Love the vibe. Will come here again. Thank you! read more

We came on Monday Laguna Beach for lunch. I've been wanting to try Finney's for a while now. I would like to start with the positive first. Finney's is located on PCH. The restaurant has a great outdoor patio with sliding doors to give it a good vibe. It's a great location to enjoy drinks on a sunny day. They have a nice selection of beers on tap. It took about 10 minutes for anyone to come to the front just to seat us. My husband ordered a beer and the grilled chicken club and asked for fries. When he received the sandwich it hardly had any chicken and received chips instead of the fries. I asked him if we should flag down our waiter, didn't even check in to see how our food was. His comment to me it's like eating toast, there's nothing in there. I went the Grilled Mahi Tacos. The fish wasn't seasoned and the tacos didn't taste like anything. I had high hopes for the Strawberry Cadillac, but it wasn't anything special. My husband did enjoy his beer from Gamecraft. read more

Why, oh why did it take me 20 years of living in OC to finally walk through these doors? I've passed by this place countless times, and I'm kicking myself for waiting so long to give it a try! From the moment I stepped inside, I knew this would become one of my go-to spots. Here's what blew me away: The Food - Absolutely amazing! Every dish was perfection on a plate. The Service - Attentive, friendly, and genuinely welcoming staff who made the experience even better. The Ambiance - Cozy, warm, and inviting atmosphere that makes you want to stay for hours. This place has it ALL! I'm already planning my next visit because once is definitely not enough. If you haven't been here yet, don't make the same mistake I did--go NOW! Can't wait to come back soon! read more

Let's start with the service, staff is amazing 10/10. Super nice and understanding when we asked what the seasoning was for the chicken since we are feeding our baby it. We got the blue cheese burger, that was a solid 8/10. I will say, I am almost 99% positive there was slight mold on my burger bun, but I just picked it off, so beware. Also, not including fries with the burger is criminal, but I digress (fries were mid at best, 6/10). The fried pickles, great concept (because they cut long ways and not like normal circles), terrible execution 3/10; it was covered in batter which was delicious, but you couldn't even tell there was a pickle in it. On to the Nashville chicken slider, good flavor, huge portion, I mean great bang for your buck, but could have used more pickles or something, I felt the sauce overpowered; 6/10. Chicken quesadillas was decent, but chicken was dry 7/10. I got a cider and it was completely flat, I wasn't sure if it was just flat cider or it went bad so I won't rate on that. I rate low because they have a ton of potential and the menu looks delicious. I will definitely comeback for a redemption round and hopefully change the rating; because I am confident this place is a 4/5 at minimum, but the food was just so subpar this time around. As for the inside, I love it, very open, relaxed, tvs everywhere, but what's with the bar menu? Trying to read that thing is like looking at a bad word search puzzle. read more

Loved this restaurant! Got seated in a decent amount of time. We got bench style seats with a big table as we had 6 people. The wait staff was super nice. Our waiter was very thorough and made sure to keep us happy. I was shocked at the affordable prices as the restaurant is in down town Laguna. We shared the nachos for appetizer, I got the grapefruit martini. It was good but not tart enough for me to get again. My friends got the strawberry margarita.. One liked it, the other didn't. The burgers were a great size and my grilled fish tacos were great! My daughter got the bone in wings and she loved them. Her friend got the tots and liked them. All around it was a great experience. read more

We visited Finney's for a late lunch on a weekday. It's a great location on PCH, and the menu looked tasty so we were looking forward to a good experience. The place was 1/3 to 1/2 full. Sadly, we found the service and food to be lacking. I ordered lettuce wraps and fries for my meal, husband ordered a pizza. After 30+ minutes my meal arrived. We waited 20 more minutes for my husband's pizza. I had to ask the manager about it since he was the only one around to help. When he asked they brought it right out. The lettuce wraps were really bad and not as described in the menu. The chicken filling had very spicy sliced red peppers and seeds on top, which sent me into a coughing fit and I removed. The wonton strips were on the bottom under the chicken, not on top, and totally soggy and gross. The worst thing was the lettuce for the wraps was in thin strips, much of it unusable. I had to use two at a time like a sandwich, and the sticky, syrupy sauce got all over me. I mentioned a couple of these things to our server one of the few times we saw him. He said he personally loved the spicy peppers, but would get me more lettuce leaves. Then he disappeared and we never saw him again. Fortunately my husbands long awaited pizza was good, except that there was too much honey all over the place. When we were done we checked ourselves out without a goodbye. The staff were friendly enough, they just really seem to need serious customer service training related to dining. We sat a long time when we arrived before our server appeared. To explain, he said he had helped some other people he thought arrived before us...? The manager stood at the front, disengaged from customers needing attention and what was going on. With all the time we were there our drinks were barely refilled. Finney's has a great craft beer selection and a seemingly good menu. The potential is there, but this one needs some work if it's going to survive long term. read more

Stopped in for an early dinner today. Waited about 30 minutes for our party of ten. My daughter had been in previously with friends and recommended it. The staff was friendly. We ordered multiple appetizers to share. Everyone raves about the coconut shrimp so we had to try it. The shrimp were huge! They were really good. We also had the boneless garlic Parmesan wings. I didn't care for them. I prefer them with a dry seasoning and they had a sauce. I had a barbecue chicken salad which was a nice portion. The chicken it was really flavorful. Overall it's a nice atmosphere with good food. read more

Today I went back to Finney's in Laguna Beach with some friends and what a difference this experience was from the last time I went! We were seated right away and greeted by our server who took our drink order. Then he came back with our drinks and took our food order. While we were waiting for our food, a young man came to our table and introduced himself as Eli, the Asst. General Manager. He told us that if we have any issues to let him know. He was such a breath of fresh air and it became apparent to me that the restaurant had made some needed changes in management. Eli was visiting all of the tables to make sure all of his customers were getting good service and food. Our food came out and we were all happy. We ordered a burger with fries, and two sandwiches. Everything was cooked/prepared as we requested and was delicious. read more

Our server Jordan was incredibly helpful and I'll start by saying the service was flat out great. I'm a big fan of the Finney's chain and will always go to a location for dinner if I have the chance. The food here is consistent. It's extremely good and always comes out hot and ready to eat. The vibe at this location is awesome they did a great job of laying this spot out. One of my favorite items on the menu is 100% the A5 burger but if you like pizza, theirs is great as well! Finney's is also reasonably priced compared to similar restaurants, which I hope they never stray from. Cheers! read more

Really great service and food. Affordable. Try the pretzel. Amazing beer selections. The Ahi sandwich is really good.

Had been meaning to try Finney's for a while and finally made it. I honestly wasn't expecting anything special, but I'd heard that the food was good, and it's nice to have a Craft House atmosphere available in Laguna. Anyway, we had wings for appetizers and they were perfect (traditional flavor) and didn't taste frozen. We ordered the Reuben and sliced steak sandwiches, along with some onion rings added to the included home made chips. Both sandwiches were really, really tasty, mmmm. They were good sized, the meat was very lean and tender, and you know that pastrami can be risky. Our server was pleasant, if not a tad overworked, and the employee atmosphere was positive and vibrant. Happy to recommend Finney's. Try it. read more

Have been a few times now. Orange location is great. Has a wonderful outdoor patio area with shade coverage. Laguna Beach location is also very nice - not as much of an outdoor option, but it's still great. Food and drinks were excellent. Pretty much something for everyone. Nice feature to add yourself to the Yelp waiting list. In Orange there was about a 20-30 minute wait as we were there during peak hours (Saturday midday) but they have the option to text and let you know your table is ready - so that you can walk around and enjoy some of the local shopping. The time flew, as there is so much near by to check out. read more
