    Cheesesteak Egg Rolls Smashburger
    zoe m.

    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.

    Great spot for Happy Hour. A beer and a burger for $16. Can't beat that. Good rooftop bar and food is great for the price point. Bartenders are friendly and attentive. Cool vibe at the restaurant, would come back and enjoy the drinks and atmosphere. Enjoy!!!

    Finneys happy hour is the best! $6 IPA's $6-$7-$8-$9 appetizers that are regular size! The food is delicious! The staff is super fun and engaging! I had a really great time and will definitely be back! Check them out from 3pm-5pm to get the best deal La during happy hour!

    Finney Burger

    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

    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.

    Guava margarita
    Addy W.

    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.

    Poki nachos
    Heather G.

    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.

    strawberry lemon drop and cadillac margarita
    Mikayla G.

    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.

    Steak Taquitos

    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!!

    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!

    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.

    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!

    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.

    See all

    Mission Ave Bar and Grill is basically the type of place that says, "just one drink," and suddenly…read moreit's three hours later, you've made new friends, and you're emotionally attached to the Peanut butter stuffed french toast. From the juicy breakfast Burger to the dangerously good country benefit and spicy blood orange, everything feels a little too easy to fall in love with. The cozy atmosphere and friendly staff make it feel like your favorite neighborhood hangout -- even if it's your first time there. Honestly, if good food, great cocktails, and happy vibes had a love language... this place would be fluent.

The service was odd. The guy would come and take drink orders for half our group disappear for no reason and then come back for the last few people. He did the same thing with the food ordering. We kept thinking he forgot the extra people. This could be overlooked if the food was good. However, the most disappointing thing was the food. We paid $32 for ribeye and mashed potatoes and it came out with a 1/4 inch thick steak that was more like carne asada. The shrimp and grits were meh. Brussel sprouts meh again. Tijuana caesar salad was ok. Pretty sure we won't be back. It was that bad.
