The food was great! We sat at the bar before the lunch rush came through on Saturday. Bar staff is attentive and quick to put in our orders after we sat down. Plenty of beer selections to choose from, but I actually opted for a dirty soda!! Diet Coke, vanilla cream, coconut and lime ‍ Good selection and variety of options on the menu, we want to come back to just try a mix of appetizers- they had a lot to pick from. We ordered a few apps and some entrees: Deviled eggs, Crispy Tuna, Southwest Chicken Bowl and Pepperoni Pizza. All were very tasty, we cleaned the plates! They have a lot of seating, as well as an outdoor patio. Plenty of TVs if you are wanting to watch a game. We will definitely be back for more options on the menu! read more

Still one of the better places in the circle for down food. It's my go to place for ordering dinner for the team when we work late. My go to dish is the Moroccan salad with salmon. Not cheap, but is flavorful and satisfying. Swing by this evening to grab some dinner for the team. Friendly staff. Not sure how to describe the place, a pub maybe? read more

When they're good, they're great. Good prices, good food. But lately the service has gotten so bad. The first couple years they opened, my wife and I would come here almost weekly. They were consistently good. Then we saw the service start to slip about 6 months ago. I'm writing this review waiting at another restaurant down the street because we just walked out of Finney's after getting seated. This is the second time we've walked out of Finney's. Both times we just got tired of sitting at our table waiting for a server to come talk to us. They see us. They know we're there. No "hey we're really busy but we'll be right with you." Just no one seems to be responsible for taking our order, and so no one even checks in. It sucks. Finney's was great. Oh and they should get rid of the skeeball. Super annoying. read more

I came here a few times already with my wife and this place is really good! Menu is pretty diverse and seems pretty busy the last few times we were here. Great place to come have a couple of drinks as well and watch some local sport games. There are also a few games in the back you can play. We started off with the carnitas nachos and it was pretty good. Very filling and a good amount for the both of us. No complaints there. For our main course, my wife ordered a couscous salad of some sort. She really enjoyed it. I chose the Wagyu Burger and this was expected from this restaurant. Juicy, artisan craft buns and definitely was not the first time we ordered it since we have came here a few times already. We even door dashed it one time haha. Other than that, great place to come and hang out especially on big sport days. Good vibes, great service as well. Lots of TV's which is perfect. read more

Was there on a Sat afternoon. World Cup going on, they were busy, but we only waited a few minutes to be seated. Service was spotty. After placing our order and getting our food, had to ask for utensils and napkins. Also requested water along with our beers, but server forgot that also and had to ask again for water. The main reason for the 2 Stars, was the food/pricing. Ordered their cheeseburger. The bottom bun was soaked, with the sauce, and was difficult to eat. Wasn't able to finish it all, as it fell apart at the end. Was ok, but just thrown together sloppily. Also, no sides come with it. No fries, or rings etc. Unless you pay for it. All Sandwiches , burgers etc are ala carte... Almost all restaurants, breweries, something comes along with the entree, burger or sandwich. Not here. Dont see myself returning mostly due to the quality of the burger. Soaked with sauce, ruining the taste and being able to eat it all, without falling apart. There are so many other options in the Orange Circle area. read more

Solid food and menu mainly consisting of tacos, burgers, pizzas, and various appetizers. Located near Orange circle, so parking was a bit difficult on a Saturday night! Curb parking and there's some lots behind the restaurant and scattered throughout Orange circle. Prices weren't too bad and drinks were good/strong! A5 Wagyu Burger ($17): pretty good, I got a side of truffle fries. I really like their ketchup, it has some extra seasoning to it that gave it a kick. Requested a side of ranch! They have a regular and large size for fries, opted for the large to share with my boyfriend Crispy Mahi Mahi Tacos ($15): my boyfriend enjoyed his meal, wish it came with 3 tacos instead of two though. Comes with a side of salsa and chips Bacon Deviled Eggs ($11): first time trying deviled eggs with some siracha and I can say it was pretty good! Chicken and Waffle Bites ($13): my boyfriend's highlight and favorite! The chicken bites were pretty big, super crispy, and NOT dry! Order came out to about $122, but we did order 2 old fashions with double shots! FYI they have electronic games to play at the table for $3. We made the mistake of tapping it and it was automatically billed to our table read more

Alfonzo did a great job of helping us yesterday with our drinks, appetizers, food, dessert, and even a heater for the cool breeze out on the spacious patio. Our food was delicious and filling. We can't wait to return to try more items on the menu and more drinks from their Crafthouse list. Great meal. Thanks Finney's. read more

The drinks here are horrible!!! I had the raspberry smash and the strawberry Cadillac margarita. Just strong and no flavor whatsoever. The brussel sprouts tasted burnt with sauce on them. The lettuce for my chicken lettuce wraps were brown. I do not recommend wasting your time or money here. read more

As another recent review has mentioned, the service has really gone down hill. We are very frequent visitors and have had poor experiences the last couple times when it comes to the hostesses/seating and service itself. Tonight we put our name down on yelp and received a text that we would receive another message when our table was ready. The wait time quoted 4-14 mins. 45 mins later, I went to check at the host stand and was told I needed to check in with them first? I've never had to do that in the past nor did the yelp text say to do so. They then said it'd be another 25 mins for an outdoor table despite there being two clearly open tables. Situations like this happen frequently where the hostesses run very behind, are confused, and give false information resulting in extremely long wait times. Not just because they're busy. We then sat at our table for 10-15 mins before we had to flag someone down to find us a server. The food is very good for bar food and the outdoor ambiance is great, especially for families with kids. The water tastes very bad though. All in all, would highly recommend they train the host and wait staff better and it'd be a 5 star from me. read more

I want to add that this place is such a vibe, especially for sporting events. Tommy and Atien are probably the best servers I have ever gotten at a restaurant. Their welcoming attitudes and helpful approach make any celebration even better. read more

Finneys is in the middle of Orange & was popular for dinner on a Thursday. We arrived around 6:30pm and saw a quite a few empty tables but a couple large parties waiting to be seated. Waited 20 minutes for a table of 2 but was served promptly after. The Finney burger was a decent burger. I really appreciated the toasted bun for some texture. Truffle fries had just a hint of truffle but seemed more like parmesan fries if I had to label it. read more

This place was good. Tommy was so nice and friendly! They have a lot on the menu that I wanted to try but had to stick to the diet plan. The deviled eggs were good, the wings were not as crispy as I like but the sauce was great. My kid got the pizza, the pepperoni was kinda overcooked, but he still liked it. The environment was fun and the service was great, I'll definitely go back when I can really eat. read more

Went today for lunch. Food was super good!!!! Service was really slow except for the busser. Didn't get his name but he was definitely on it. Asked for water from the server and she never brought it, but he did when we asked him. Gave him a cash tip right then cause he was pleasant and awesome. Will definitely return, just hope for a different server. read more

Wow, I was so happy with my last meal here. They got us seated in a nice booth to watch the world cup. The beers were great. The burger was delicious. The sweet potato fries with horseradish aoli are great. The coconut shrimps are better than anywhere. Worth the wait! They have no reservations. Great atmosphere and staff. I voted for them in Best of Orange! read more

Finney's Crafthouse is a spot recommended to me by a friend for good drinks and apps. Came here with that friend on a Tuesday evening. It was pretty busy, probably because of the World Series and the Dodgers were playing. Regardless, we were seated quickly and service was good. We ordered a round of drinks and a couple of apps to share. My friend ordered the Line 39 Cabernet and I ordered the seasonal cocktail which is a Passionfruit Sour. We ordered the Spicy Tuna Crispy Rice and Crispy Brussels to share. Our drinks came out first, followed by the food. The Passionfruit Sour was well-balanced. It wasn't too sweet or sour, and the passionfruit flavor can be tasted. The Spicy Tuna Crispy Rice came with five pieces. It was good. The rice was crispy on the outside and chewy on the inside. The spicy tuna was okay, but didn't stand out. The Crispy Brussels were also good. The tamarind ponzo was tart yet salty. There were only a couple pieces of fig, which were an interesting add to the dish. Overall, giving Finney's Crafthouse a 4/5. There is lots of seating inside and there's a covered outdoor patio with seating. It can get noisy when sitting indoors, which makes it difficult to hear the people you are sitting with. Service is good, food is okay, and drinks are good. Would recommend for drinks. read more

Flipping amazing. While I was researching places to do and eat in SLO, this place kept popping up and for good reason. The happy hour is most generous and affordable. We both got two beers on tap, a pepperoni pizza and their loaded nachos. The food and drinks came out pretty fast and we were amazed by the nachos. They were loaded with both flavor and meaty, cheesy goodness. Would def come back again and get the nachos for sure. The crust on the pizza is super thin, and there was a bountiful amount of pepperoni. Paired amazingly with the beer. This place is perfect for large groups or smaller groups if you come early enough to beat the crowds. read more

Love the food, but dang the service could really be improved. I think we saw our server to order and then to refill our drinks once. The restaurant was busy... but customer service should still be a thing. On our last visit, I ordered the chicken chipotle bowl. The one thing I wish is that the menu specified that the sauce was... added after the fact (like drizzled on?) versus the chicken being marinated in it. I probably would have gotten it on the side 'cos it was a little overpowering. Everything we've ever ordered has really been delicious - you can't go wrong with your order! Also an ample selection of beers on tap and sports on the TVs. Great little spot in old towne! 2025: 47/100 read more

This Finneys Crafthouse was good as the one in Brea. The place is clean and the staff were very busy. The only negative star I give is because of the parking since it is in the Orange Circle it sucks and parking is hard to find. The best sandwich I had here was the tri-tip sandwich 15/10.and I am biased because I love horseradish sauce. The Peggy's chicken sandwich was a 7/10. The finney burger was 8/10. Overall a good place. read more

This place has a casual vibe. Lots of tv screens for sports fans. The staff is friendly and we were seated right away. We ordered a coconut strawberry sangria to drink and a coconut shrimp to start. For our main, we got the gary's pepperoni pizza with hot honey. Coconut Strawberry Sangria- The strawberry has a sweet and tangy flavor, balanced out by the creamy coconut. Very refreshing! Coconut Shrimp- Coconut coating is crisp. The Shrimp is fresh and meaty. Served with sweet chili sauce that tied the flavors together. Gary's Pepperoni Pizza with Hot Honey- Crust is crispy with a light chewiness in the middle. Cheese is hot and gooey. They give a generous amount of pepperoni. The hot honey gives a lovelt sweetness with a kick. Great experience overall! read more

Great selection of various types of food. We were a party of 6 adults and had mahi Mahi tacos, shrimp tacos, mango habanero boneless wings, poke bowl, chicken club sandwich, salmon bowl. Not to mention appetizers of Carnitas nachos, spicy tuna & fried rice. EVERYTHING WE HAD WAS BOMB! Our server was Ben. He provided the best service we've ever had, anywhere! He made some great suggestions and we always had something to drink without asking whether it was water, lemonade, or something from the bar. He even overheard someone at our table mention we were celebrating my birthday and at the end of our meal sent over a scoop of ice cream over a tasty chocolate chip cookie with a candle! We loved this place and would definitely go back!! read more

Came here to meet with an old friend, and the environment was very cool. It was definitely loud and had an arcade bar feel. It was sometimes hard to hear the other person talk, but other than that it was fun. Our waitress was amazing and she gave us the lowdown on what she thinks is really good and what she didn't like. She answered all of our food questions and she was just a boss. The drinks were amazing. I know I got a margarita. I just don't know which one. It was strong and good. The brussels sprouts were the star of the show to me. I could've eaten six of those small plates. I will say I was a bit disappointed with the poke nachos that they had. The dressing I had on the side, but it wasn't that hot. There's another dressing on top of it but there wasn't enough. It just seemed kind of plain. My roommate had the cheeseburger egg rolls and she said they were absolutely amazing and would 100% recommend. read more

I had a great experience at this spot! This location is very friendly to those that love sports as every tv was showing live sports, which I imagine is a huge plus for those that crave delicious American food and sports! With so many options to choose from, I had to go with the classic pepperoni pizza and jalapeno egg burger! Our server was very attentive and made sure our food was tasting great and had our beverages filled! I felt like the food was great and it made me curious about the other items offered on the menu such as other pizzas with different toppings as well as other types of burgers and sandwiches. Prices seemed pretty reasonable as well although I would prefer sides like fries to be included with the entrees and not paid separately. read more

Had a great experience service was great and almost flawless except that there was a hair in my mothers food.

Also had Coke over Pepsi products which makes me happy! read more

What a great experience! This restaurant has the appearance of a regular sports bar but the food is immaculate. Our server was so sweet and all of our food came out quickly and was hot. We got the chicken and waffles, the crispy brussel sprouts, and the ceasar salad with added blackened shrimp. For drinks we got the old fashioned and a glass of Sauvignon blanc. The chicken and waffles were perfect, probably the best chicken in waffles we've had in so cal coming in on top in comparison to the chicken and waffles at Georgia's and Bruxie. The waffle was crisp and fluffy and the chicken tender was cooked to perfection and seasoned very well. I also enjoyed that the chicken and waffles came already dressed in a light syrup so that you didn't need to constantly be pouring syrup all over the place. The brussel sprouts were such a flavor bomb. The crispy exterior with the tender bite were a great texture combination and the roasted figs, furikake seasoning, and savory flavors were such a delicious pairing. I imaging if we added bacon it would've been even more delightful. The ceasar salad was very tasty and well done. It went very well with their sauv blanc. I did wish there was either more shrimp on the plate or larger shrimp mainly because the seafood to salad ratio was leaning a bit too much into the salad and I found myself having to really save my shrimp for specific bites. Overall fantastic meal, excellent vibes and staff. We will most certainly be back! read more

Excellent beer, ambience, food, and service! I loved my Meditterannean salad protein bowl with salmon and quinoa, and the burgers here are excellent. Next time, we will try one of their appetizers. Normally, there is a huge line waiting outside to get in, but we got there about 3 p.m., so that is a good off-time to avoid crowds. Great, fun brewhouse, and we will be repeat customers! read more

On a Friday night in June, I found myself in Orange and needing a place for beer and food--and I found Finney's! Not being a local, I didn't know that the place would be packed, but even after classes are done at the local college, there are still enough people needing some time at Finney's that they'll wait on the sidewalk (FYI, Finney's doesn't take reservations!). Luckily, it was just myself and I found a seat at the bar to start my adventure. The ambiance of the place is loud, probably especially on a Friday or Saturday night--people meeting friends, family, or just in the mood for shenanigans. If you're looking for a quiet, romantic place, this one might not be for you. Sitting at the bar, I got excellent service. The bar team was on it and super busy, so I appreciated that they made an effort to make sure I was taken care of. There were a bunch of beers on tap, and that fit my vibe completely. After getting a beverage, I ordered the Jalapeno egg burger, which was really delicious! It's a bit spicy, but the fried egg on top was a nice balance to the spice. And I also ordered some of their sweet potato fries, which were also great. Overall, a great experience for a late dinner on a solo trip. Great service and good food! read more

The second part of a bang bang (ifykyk) - we stopped by finneys to try their famous cheesesteak eggrolls. And boy did they live up to their reputation. Crispy, hot, and brimming with cheese and steak, these egg rolls perfectly balanced with libations we ordered. The wings were a bit of a miss, as the Yuzu Buffalo definitely had more buffalo than yuzu! Service was amazing, and I felt like I was in a sopranos episode. Highly recommend ! read more

The food wasn't great. It was VERY mediocre. The service was also horrible. It was like pulling teeth just to get a server to take our order! We had been sitting down for 20mins and not one person came to get our drink order. What made it worse is the uncleanliness of the whole restaurant. Also, the restaurant is an open space with no closed windows or doors. So I wouldn't recommend eating here if you get cold cause it's like eating outside. Plus all kinds of bugs were flying everywhere around you as you were eating! I honestly would've left as soon as I noticed that all the windows and doors were wide open, but I was with family and we were hungry and thought we would try something new since we were in the area. Definitely wouldn't come back and don't recommend. read more

I've lived in this area for five years and somehow never stepped inside this place until today. Glad I finally did. The atmosphere was relaxed, lively, and easygoing, and the staff couldn't have been nicer. I sat at the bar, got served right away, and ordered one of their Mexican lagers. It came out ice cold with a lime wedge and was amazing. When I asked for a food suggestion, the bartender recommended the chicken lettuce wraps, which they said were a new favorite. Good call. They came out in about five minutes even though the place was packed. The chicken was tender and cooked perfectly, with jalapeños, crunchy tortilla strips, and just the right mix of sweet and heat. The spicy mayo on the side blended it all together and added that extra punch of flavor. Everything about it was great, the texture, the sauce, the freshness. I was seriously impressed. After this visit, I can easily see myself becoming a regular here. read more

Family friendly brew house in the heart of the Orange Circle. It has a vibe, comfortable seating, flat screen TVs with sports on, fire pits and corn hole in the outside dining area. The food is yummy and the service is friendly. We've been to this location twice now and we'll definitely return. The burgers are great and their onion rings are fantastic--dressed with Parmesan cheese and parsley. Today I got the ahi poke bowl. It's new to their menu. It was tasty--I ate every bite--but I don't think I'd order it again. It most mostly white rice that was garnished with ahi, cucumbers, edamame, and avocado. I don't think it was sushi rice either. They have a really large menu with a lot of food and drink options. It took a hot minute for us to decide what we wanted because there are so many options. But honestly, the quality is great and you can't go wrong. read more
