Had a mini lobster roll and a peggy spicy chicken burger. The lobster roll was tasty, but it was quite heavy on the salt side and I am not sure if there was much lobster in there… anyway, it was quite small and fairly cheap so I quickly devoured it as a starter and then moved on to the chicken burger, which was quite good. My server was super attentive and friendly and the entire place is spacious and has a nice ambience.

"Super friendly service, great value for money. I had the boneless wings with the Cajun rub – they were amazing! Really cool sports bar with a solid beer selection."

Great place to go for a quick bite to eat in downtown SB. We had the wagu burger and it was made perfectly. Only thing I didn't like is that you had to order the fries / sides separately. Otherwise the food was great. The service was good too. Our drinks from the bar was made to perfectly as well. I highly recommend trying this place.

Had dinner at Finney’s in Santa Barbara and it was an awesome experience! The food was amazing and the vibes were great — with games playing on screens all around and nice background music. The staff were super energetic and attentive throughout. We started with wings, tenders, and the fried cauliflower — all delicious and perfectly crispy. For mains, we had the Finney’s burger, Margherita pizza, and mac & cheese for the kids. Everything was flavorful and well-prepared.

We were not ready for the phenomenal service and great drinks. The food was delicious and easily marked for gf (perfect for my wife who has celiac). Definitely try the wings with buffalo sauce (the yuzu touch makes it bright and tart), their coconut shrimp (divine and gf!!), and their bison burger (cooked perfectly through and through). Watch the video, see the presentation on the drinks. My wife loved her Mai tai, and my whisky drink which I cannot remember the name of, was fabulous in all the ways. Make sure to ask for Aaron, he was awesome and made wonderful suggestions. And then go for a beautiful stroll down the pier when you’re all done. It’s a perfect introduction to Santa Barbara.

Went there for a Thursday night dinner and was super crowded at 9pm but only had a little wait. Really friendly servers/managers and cool interior! We got the fish tacos and burger/loaded tater tots (was told they could’ve been warmer/crispier), the fish tacos were 7/10 not bad at all. The pepperoni pizza looked SO good too

We had just arrived in Santa Barbara and were looking for a nice place for lunch. Finney's had a sign on the sidewalk advertising a flight of margaritas, and we were immediately sold. The flight was delicious -- guava, blood orange, watermelon, and strawberry -- and lunch was also great. I got Peggy's Crispy Chicken Sandwich, which was excellent -- nicely crunchy and flavorful. It came with a very fresh-tasting salad and some addictive homemade potato chips. My wife go the fish tacos and enjoyed them as well. We got a table on the patio, which was really pleasant and relaxing. Our server was charming and efficient. Would definitely come here again!

Every time we would pass by this place, it was packed. I was intrigued. I was curious was this place as good as that crowd made it seem. We had a late lunch but found we were still full for our late dinner. We ordered appetizers instead. We ordered the chicken and waffles, mini sliders and mini lobster rolls. The chicken and waffles is sweet but at the end you have a pepper taste at the end. I love Roscoe Chicken and Waffles so I am biased but it is delicious. The mini lobster rolls are tasty but I will say, I have had better. They have a variety of beer and other drinks as well. The staff is very helpful and the place is super clean. Definitely a place to try it you are in the area.

Popular gastropub and sportsbar along the main street serving updated and trendy American fare. The culinary highlights are definitely the extensive crafted beers and drinks available. The service is accommodating and attentive. Given it is relatively the only sports bar in this side near the beach at the main road this is where most tourists will congregate. Expect queues during dinner and after. A good place for groups and social drinking gatherings but not for a quiet meal.

Food is great! Atmosphere is popping, they were super busy so we had to wait for service. This is a prime location right in the middle of everything! Super busy spot all the way up until 9:00 p.m.! We thought we would miss the crowd by going around 8:30 p.m. for dinner, we ended up sitting at the bar, they will text you that a table is ready after they take your name, however I didn't hear my notification simply because it is so loud in there. I would definitely recommend putting your phone on vibrate 😊 We happen to get seating right at the corner of the bar so we still could talk and hear each other okay although we still had to raise our voices. The bartenders are who served us and were all pretty helpful and friendly, just not readily available because it was busy. The food was great! We started off with sharing a ginormous Bavarian Pretzel (The three different dipping sauces were all pretty great!) and a margarita flight for both of us, they are very good portions so unless you're super thirsty I would suggest splitting one! 🙈🤣 I loved the guava, really wasn't a fan of the hibiscus at all, personal preference. Check out the photos, the presentation was beautiful! Absolutely loved my A5 Wagyu Burger! Super flavorful, the burger was absolutely scrumptious! Nice and juicy with just a little bit of crispiness on the outside edges! I got truffle fries on the side which were also great and honestly enough for two people unless you're super hungry! My partner got The Finney Burger with a side of regular fries and he really liked his meal as well! The reason for three stars was simply personal preference. It was super loud, seats were hard and not very cushy (typical bar), and we had gone there expecting a restaurant, not what felt like a bar scene. I took photos right before we left of the restaurant, and as you can see after 9:30 it really settles down. However, their kitchen was closed early that night to work on flooring in the kitchen.

On a busy weekend I was surprised how fast we got sat down despite there being a line. Good service and pretty good American cuisine! I loved their smashburger, it was delicious!

First time partaking at Finneys. Great vibe and excellent service. Margaritas and pretzel were tasty starters.

This place was good, nothing great though. My burger was mid, the fries had a bit of an odd flavor to it, but my wife’s quinoa salmon bowl was quite good. The service was also mid - the waitress was nice and our food came quickly, but she wasn’t very present and didn’t fill up our drinks often. The vibe was fun though - the weather was great so we ate outside, and it was full of people with a the ambiance was great!

Food was alright. Wife mentioned that its an upscale TGI Fridays, and i leaned towards that sentiment. We ordered a few things, but only really enjoyed the sliders. Was recommended this place by a couple locals, but it could have a been a day off for the restaurant

The best thing at finneys is the friendly staff. The food however is a more expensive rendition of TGI Friday’s. I ordered the chipotle chicken sandwich but it came out on a burger bun which was interesting. The only chipotle thing about it was the light spread on the bun. Food here is so painfully mid. It’s in a great location but you can genuinely skip this place on your sb visit.

Visiting the city for a few days I am A pregnant woman who asked to use the restrooms but was denied at Finneys NO HUMANITY Funny thing: a woman waitress said no to me. No other restaurant or coffee in Santa Barbara ever said no to me this way It already aient easy to be a 7 month pregnant woman thank God most places aren’t like this one

Went to Santa Barbara for a work trip and stopped here for dinner. We were seated fairly quickly. However a server never came to take our drinks or order. At first we thought it was taking a while because it was so busy. However when they sat two families close to us and grabbed their orders and kept ignoring us. We decided to leave. Guess you have to look a certain way (if you know what I mean)
