Went here yesterday for a late lunch. They have a rooftop seating option that was perfect since the weather was so nice. It has a great view of the city! We got the Prosciutto and Arugula flatbread, which was very thin and crispy. The truffle fries were really good and we had them with their chipotle aioli. We also both got raspberry lemonades which were very sweet and refreshing. The coconut shrimp was really really good. My boyfriend was obsessed. I don't often love any kind of fried or battered shrimp but these were so good. I definitely want to come back! read more

This Finney's is not quite up to snuff compared to the Finney's in Orange. Triple Smash Burger had good flavor. Fried pickles were lacking in flavor. Others in our party said the tater tots and the Finney burger had a weird taste to it (and they frequent the one by Chapman College). Service was somehow fairly fast but unattentive. I wouldn't come back to this location when eating in Oceanside. Other better restaurants here. read more

Yikes. If I could give zero stars we would. Not sure where to start! Service was so slow, which is brutal! Order was wrong over and over, and it took over 2 hours. I'm so disappointed. My daughter didn't care for her grilled cheese (how do you mess that up??). Very disappointed, we spoke w the manager and she wasn't helpful either. We're locals and we'd love to frequent here, but we won't be coming back. I feel bad for her server; she really did her best. But it was really awful. Watch out for the games! They will charge you if you touch the ridiculous screen on the table. Check your bill! read more

The vibes were cool. Staff was attentive and sweet. And honestly great bar food. We just got apps the chicken and waffles so freaking good hot chicken sandwich was really good there. Onion rings are good. They have good ranch. Cheesesteak egg rolls tasted homemade they were good! They have homemade ketchup. It's a little bit spicy and kind of taste like a bloody Mary and it's delicious. Lol as for the cocktails, not really my favorite lower quality ingredients better to stick with the basics unless you like fairly sweet flavoring. Then it might be your favorite go to. read more

I like this place. I've going there on Friday afternoons with my pups. I think I've been 10-12 times ... and gotten something different from menu each time. Mahi tacos, taquitos, wagyu burger, pastrami sandwich, peggy's chicken sandwich, buffalo wings were all great. The fajitas, chicken club and cheesesteak were good but not great. Yesterday I had the cheesesteak ... tasty but not enough cheese. A cheesesteak should ooze with melted cheese. read more

Ill always remember that burger being bomb. Trued those new steak fajitas and wasnt the biggest fan. Steak was overcooked , asked for medium. Alot of fatty pieces. Got more than well done. Had to try out the new item tho. Chicken and waffles were pretty tasty, sold as appetizer, mot too bad. Got the pepperoni pizza, crust was pretty rock hard, I understand its a flatbread but the pepperonis were basically burnt and the crust was like a cracker. A bit disappointed in this visit VS my first one, but i still have hope in the rest of the menu items read more

While on vacation in Oceanside with our kids and another family, we stopped into Finney's Crafthouse for lunch since it's just a short walk from the pier. It turned out to be a great choice for a casual, family-friendly meal. We started with the coconut shrimp and the buffalo cauliflower, both were good. I went with the mahi tacos for lunch which were great. The kids all ordered cheeseburgers off the kids' menu and were totally happy with their meals. The adults sampled a few different beers, and with such a large beer menu, there was plenty to try. Since it had started to rain, we grabbed a table inside, but they also have a large outdoor patio that would be perfect on a nicer day. Finney's had good food and lots of choices, something for everyone. read more

We came here after watching a movie and were excited they had happy hour. No one was at the host stand so we wondered to the bar. We found 2 spots at the end, and hoped we could move to the table top behind.... The bartender said we'd have to ask the host. Once again after glancing by the entrance there wasn't anyone there.. so we opted to stay at the bar. I had the guava margarita which had no guava taste whatsoever and was extremely disappointed. My friend really liked her drink though. It was rather annoying as one bartender kept splashing us as she made drinks, and at one point it was so bad that we both let out an " ohh my" while she just looked at us. No apology, as our faces were dripping with liquid. I have sat it front of many bartenders in my life and I have NEVER had any of them be so careless. Overall, I probably won't be back as my experience wasn't very good. read more

Food was okay enough. My friends and I felt the burgers lacked flavor (wagyu and jalepeno burgers). The wings and poki nachos were also just okay. The best thing was the onion rings. Food came out quick The beers were really good. And the service was excellent. Our server was so sweet and patient. We (6 adults, 3 kids)arrived on a Saturday around 5:30 and was sat right away upstairs. It was way too loud upstairs. Like where you're shouting to talk. Def good bar vibes upstairs. To just grab a drink and appetizer. read more

Picked this place because there were a lot of gluten free options on the menu and it did not disappoint! We were able to sit on rooftop patio and it was a beautiful day. The service was great and food and beverages were also great. We had the carnitas nachos and a few drinks and left happy. Also, the prices were great! Not overpriced at all, which was a nice change for what places have been doing lately. read more

Friday night happy hour, Finneys had a good crowd going upstairs and down, but we were seated on the rooftop patio right away. I love the vibe upstairs, even without a true ocean view because of the surrounding hotels. The spunky server in the black converse was so cheerful and we got great service. Started with a Raspberry Smash, a delicious muddled vodka and prosecco drink. A nice smear of sugar on the rim and side, it was tasty sweet and refreshing. I only had one, but I would have enjoyed more. Husband had a beer which was part of his dinner combo order. Our happy hour dinner included the bacon deviled eggs, yummy and easy to pick off the candied bacon and move it to his egg. They were a standard deviled egg with a smear of creamy yolk underneath to keep them on the plate. A drizzle of sriracha garnished the plate. I ate it all, pushing the eggs around to wipe up the yolk and sriracha. Smile. Moving on, Husband ordered the Finney's Burger and fries for his entree. This is a $16 value option with an included beer or soda. This was a nice thick burger, cooked exactly to medium rare. Husband had to compliment the chef when the manager stopped by to check in with us, because it is DIFFICULT to get a medium rare burger right and this one was PERFECT. Topped with cheese, pickled onions, lettuce and tomato it was a good value and good quality. Big fluffy brioche bun was appreciated to soak up all those rare meat juices. My meal was the steak taquitos, a delicious pile of pico on top of four large rolled corn tortillas filled with a bit of beef. Some tri tip beef according to the menu. Not a lot of filling, mostly corn tortilla, but still tasty and filling. Chipotle aoli on the side tasted sharp, and was traded to husband for his sweeter chipotle catsup which I preferred. But the roasty salsa that accompanies this dish is AWESOME and I asked for more. The manager himself brought it over. Although I would have loved another Raspberry Smash, we kept our dinner bill to $40 by not ordering another round. So dining economically can be done in Oceanside, if you get there before 5pm for happy hour!! read more

Nikki (hopefully I spelled that correctly) bartending upstairs this morning, she was phenomenal. She was so friendly and efficient. She explained and suggested some fantastic local beers, and she made great cocktails. We really enjoyed her vibe. We will definitely recommend this spot to friends and we will definitely be back! Thanks, Nikki! read more

Service was good. Server was very nice and attentive and it was a busy night. We sat on the rooftop which was nice, especially because there was some sort of night market going on w plenty of vendors and a huge crowd. The drinks were pretty good, but the food was okay. I felt like my burger lacked some flavor. read more

I came to Finney's for the first time tonight and was really impressed. First off, the restaurant is extremely large. They have giant space at the main level, with a huge bar and big screens in the middle. Then, if you take a short walk upstairs (they also have an elevator), you'll be on their beautiful rooftop patio overlooking downtown. We came about 6pm on a Wednesday and only waited about 10-15 minutes for a great table on the rooftop patio. Our server was very professional, kind and knowledgeable about the menu! The food and drinks were fantastic. I personally loved the avocado egg rolls, that came with two equally delicious sauces. I love that they have a wide variety of beers, cocktails and even zero proof mocktails too. Overall my first experience at Finney's was an A+ and I look forward to my next visit again soon! read more

We ordered a few dishes to try and it was all tasty except for my daughters poke bowl. It was lacking in flavor, she said the carrots had a weird taste as was the fish. Other than that we enjoyed our meal. Our server Sabra was friendly. The rooftop has a nice view, but it can get pretty hot if your not under the umbrella. Parking isn't the best, so you might have to look around for a spot. Overall, cool place to have a bite and drinks. read more

Food (5/5 stars): I love a good happy hour and highly recommend Finney's Crafthouse in Oceanside! The Carnitas Nachos is a great choice if you're looking for a delicious bang for your buck starter. The meat was flavorful and moist and the red chilis had a nice kick. There are so many dishes (and drinks) I want to try here--their burgers, coconut shrimp, pepperoni pizza. I'm excited to return! Experience (5/5 stars): * Price: happy hour is very reasonable! * Wait Time: none for party of 2 during happy hour * Service: good * Parking: they have a lot and free street parking nearby * Ambiance: very modern and nice sports bar read more

I would have never guessed this place was a franchise because the food and service were absolutely outstanding during our visit. This was probably my third or fourth time dining here, and every visit has been consistently excellent. Today, my wife and I came for a lunch date, and we loved everything! The quality, flavor, and service continue to impress. We're already looking forward to coming back again. read more

Yesterday was our third visit to Finney's and every time it is a wonderful treat! We typically sit downstairs at the bar but yesterday we had lunch on the rooftop patio. It was absolutely beautiful, and the food was great as usual! We ordered the poke in crispy wonton. The edamame with the fish was a really welcome surprise. It was a fresh and vibrant dish. We also had the buffalo cauliflower and the roasted brussel sprouts. Our friend who said he was not normally a fan of brussels sprouts changed his mind after trying them. The figs were a happy ingredient that lent a sweetness that enhanced the dish. The cauliflower was crispy and the sauce was very spicy, but tasty. My dining companions tried some different brews and I had a lovely Cabernet. The service was above average, but not exceptional. It seemed we waited a bit longer for our drinks than typical but it was really no big deal and certainly not a showstopper. Finney's is quickly becoming a favorite of ours, especially when we are in the mood for appetizers and a drink. The downstairs dining area and bar is a fun place to watch a game. The upstairs patio has that awesome ocean vibe makes you feel like you're on vacation. There is plenty of parking nearby. We were there on a Thursday, which does cut down on parking opportunities after 2 PM. I highly recommend Finney's. Cheers! read more

Found this restaurant on Yelp when traveling to Oceanside. Nice big dog friendly patio upstairs with stairs or elevator access. A lot of variety of beers on tap and opted for their delicious IPA. The burger was cooked to order and toppings were fresh. Nice to have dog menu items too. The Moroccan salad was interesting combination that was very tasty. We shared fries and tater tots. The tots were our favorite. Service was excellent. Nice vibe, clean, and pretty views. A building blocks the ocean but still nice with palm trees and great outdoor temps. The manager checked on us and we will be getting in our area soon. We will definitely check it out! read more

I wanted to be able to give 5 stars but other reviews are true. Food is very slow coming out. I have no problem with that. The problem was the server seemed overwhelmed. She was a nice young woman but she didn't have her act totally together. My DiL spilled her beer and asked for something to wipe it and she never came back. Waters were never refilled. As far as food I had the Margherita pizza and it was delicious. I will go back for that. Everyone else said the food was good. I would still go here just bring patience. read more

Great place to eat! Variety menu and yummy options! Get the burger here! It's amazing! And salads are good too. The morracan one is really flavorful Service is friendly and quick! Upstairs patio is so nice to sit with the ocean breeze and covered patio . A must ! Parking on street or there is a small parking lot. Weekend busy for parking but we found one quick! read more

This is one of those difficult reviews to write. There was absolutely nothing wrong or any problems. There was also nothing special or memorable so I guess that makes it an average of a three star review. Service was good and that is surprising since we had a group of 7, so lots of credit for that! Also - all 7 of us fit in one of their large booths! Lots of food and drink options and all of the things were ordered were fine. I found the Yuzu Buffalo wings interesting and would say they are worth a try. read more

Food is great! Everything I've had here is really good. Great drinks too! Got the margarita flight and they were very good. The service is good. The ambiance is very nice.

Great food and location. We've been to a few and all are excellent Great happy hour read more

Gave it a second chance,... needless to say we will not be returning. Food is barely average. My burger had no flavor, the onion rings lacked any crunch or crisp, and the salad had been sitting in dressing for quite awhile possibly under a heat lamp since the lettuce had all wilted and was limp and lifeless. The service on the other hand was genuine and attentive. With so many restaurants nearby, I won't be returning to this one. Wish there was a better outcome. read more

Nice spot near the Oceanside pier and you can walk there easily. I had to wait 15-20 minutes even though there were open tables in the downstairs area, and I wish I could have joined using Yelp Waitlist. We chose to sit downstairs since the upstairs didn't seem optimal for that time of day. The atmosphere was chill and food was a good price for the quality. Service was attentive, and we never felt rushed even as we slowly ordered through appetizers. Spicy tuna - awesome starter with crispy chewy rice and spicy tuna that really hit the spot. Avocado egg roll - excellent and I liked them even more than BJs version. The rolls had great dimension and both dipping sauces, sun-dried tomato and cilantro cashew lime sauce, were great. Mini Ahi Tacos - were just decent but needed more fish, so I might pass on those next time. Peggy's Crispy Chicken - great and I'd order it again, but I'd ask for more coleslaw next time. Coleslaw was a little lacking. Margarita flight - thought the guava and strawberry flavors were the best, while the watermelon didn't stand out. I might opt for a regular margarita in the future, as flavored ones aren't typically my thing. read more

First visit to Finney's in Oceanside. Loved the upstairs patio--great vibe and scenery. Food: Reuben was excellent and sweet potato fries were solid, but the house chips lacked flavor. My wife's Margherita pizza was disappointing--more like just a cheese pizza, very light on toppings, hardly any basil, and the crust was doughy/rubber like. Service: Friendly but slow and not very attentive. No check-in on the food and we had to flag down a server for drink refills. Bottom line: Nice setting, but average service and uneven food make this a one-and-done stop for us. read more

Came here for the first time the other day. Loved it! Got the Jalapeño Burger. Cooked perfectly and honestly any time a burger comes with an egg on it I have a hard time turning away haha. It was very good though. Also got the deviled eggs. Yes, would definitely order again. They have a great menu and I look forward to next time to try some more! Our server was great as well. She was very attentive but not overbearing or anything. The spot was busy but not too loud for good convos at our table. Look forward to coming back soon! read more

Love the vibe & drinks here! We used to love the food too but unfortunately the last two times we went the quality of the food went downhill extremely. Hopefully they can get it together so we will come for more than just a cocktail. read more

Yummy yummy Finney's! So glad to have a Finney's in Oside in that old Cabo Grill in Downtown. The food is fantastic. They are new and working out some service kinks with such a large space. Bummed they didn't add a second bathroom location in the remodel as it's hard to go downstairs after a strong island iced tea. LOVE the mural on the side that overlooks the Sunset Market on Thursdays. Great for big groups as long as they can do stairs. Walking distance from everything in downtown. Paid meter parking on this side of PCH or park for free in the tiny lot on the side of the building or the free garage behind Pierside Apartments. Otherwise, parking across the other side of PCH is free. read more

I really like this place, and I base that on quality of service and the flavor of the food. Only downside for me is that sometimes it's a little loud and it's very well lit, it's more of a vibe for a family style restaurant rather than a bar if that's what you're looking for. I definitely like the separation between upstairs and downstairs. read more

It took us a while to get seated, even though there were plenty of tables available. But I do have to say the space is cool with the rooftop bar and seating, which is where we were at. I think the food was sensational! I really enjoyed the chicken and waffle appetizer. Plus they have a great beer selection. My in-laws loved their raspberry lemonade. I think it's a great location close to the beach and would be awesome after a long day in the water. read more

We really liked Finney's! Met up with some friends in the area for a weekday dinner and drinks and it was a first time for everyone. They have a menu that really appeals to anyone; so many great options. Its extensive, but not overwhelming, and features a variety of bar food. There was going to be a very short wait for a table so we opted to just sit at the corner section of the bar, which worked well for a party of 4. Deviled eggs to start - this is a pass. I have had much better. Kind of watery? Tri Tip sandwich - I have a hard time not picking it when its on the menu. Hard to get this wrong. Delicious and filling, I had to take half to-go. Really liked the accompanying chips. Others got the Blackened Ahi sandwich and enjoyed, and the bison burger (probably would have been my alternate to the tri tip). So many beers on tap. I wish I could remember what I got - it was delicious! It was a beer thats traditionally light but had that spin to it (CA.... west coast...?) that made it really favorful. Nice to have a solid spot to return to when visiting our O-side friends. read more
