Finney's Crafthouse

My wife and I discovered this restaurant last year and we just love it. Finney's is our go to restaurant for date night and we can also bring our kids. I love the loaded tots and the Bison burger, and their frys are awesome. I highly recommend Finney's

Excellent service, extremely tasty food, great atmosphere and unique flavors! Definitely will be returning. Wide variety of beer selections with a clear understandable menu. I normally don’t drink beer ever, but the waitress recommended the blood orange to me and it was fabulous and shockingly tasty. Very impressed with my experience here.

We had such a great experience at Finney’s in Goleta thanks to our server, Matt. From start to finish, he was attentive, friendly, and made sure we had everything we needed without ever feeling rushed. He was knowledgeable about the menu, gave great recommendations, and checked in at just the right times. It really made the meal that much more enjoyable. Service like his is what makes us want to come back again and again. Thank you, Matt, for making our night so great!

Amazing burgers . Employees were courteous. They had good suggestion for the drink and food. Service was fast

It's a sports bar with tons of TV'S and loud music, but it's set up really well and even though we're not interested in watching any games, still enjoyed our food. It is not typical bar food! The tacos were amazing and the servers were very accommodating.

Casual and fun little spot. Lots of beers to try. Good variety. Food was amazing. Our server was super helpful and attentive. Other staff was good about checking up on us too. We ate outside on the patio, which was also nice. Great for a quick bite or longer hang.

Visiting the Santa Barbara / Goleta area in late January and was just looking to get in somewhere for dinner on a Friday night. This location is part of a busy strip mall with a number of restaurants. We had a short wait and were able to get a table inside. Despite the evening chill they were still seating in their patio. We tried a few of their beers, they were fine. Two of us got burgers, they were good. I had a tuna tartare salad which I enjoyed. The place is a traditional American style restauran/bar - think BJs Brewhouse as a comp. We did have good service.

We dined here on a Friday evening, early enough where we were seated promptly. This is definitely a happening lively popular place, more of a bar menu, burgers, sandwiches, salads, and pizza, accompanied with a great selection of beers and fairly a full bar selection. I ordered from the appetizer section the Coconut Shrimp and the Brussel Sprouts. I found the food good but of not a wow moment. I will patronize this establishment again and try one of their pizzas.

The server got my wife's beer wrong. But it was very good. We then ordered the dry rub wings and got the traditional wings instead. The wings were great, just not what we ordered. We also got the steak taquitos and loaded tots. All three appetizers were great. Just got the wrong items.

The four of us really wanted to enjoy this restaurant. Unfortunately the food did not live up to our expectations. My wife's tri-tip sandwich was terribly overcooked and inedible. My Philly cheese steak sandwich was overwhelmed by a horseradish aioli. Both of our friends had salads that they described as mediocre. We did receive a gift card due to my wife's tri-tip sandwich. The atmosphere is fun with wall to wall TVs for watching sports, with a full bar it can be a good go-to spot. Unfortunately, we probably won't try it again.

Really great menu with something for everyone. Service is super friendly and they check back with you lots to refill water, check on your food and experience. Out go to menu items are the tacos, lettuce wraps, any sandwich (you can't go wrong) and the patio. Love the cool heat lamps!

They take care of the big money tables and if you are there with fewer than 6 people or if you are at the bar the service is terrible. It is just one of the only places around... Edited: Upgraded stars for food, that's solid. Again this spot is better when it is slow and not as an individual.

This was our first time at a finneys. The food was good but the fries were awful! We tried their sweet potato fries and their truffle fries both were awful, we didn't eat it after trying. They are just greasy and overly salted and seasoned. The worst part was the service. Our server (young white blonde lady) was nowhere to be found. She didn't refill waters we had to chase her down even to pay the damn bill! We were going to order drinks but she never returned to our table after taking our initial order. I don't like it when I'm expected tip but there was no good service. They need to train their staff better. It wasn't overly crowded or busy.

We like coming to Finney’s in Goleta. Unfortunately their service is not consistent in the dining area. Some serves are attentive while others forget you were there having dinner. The bartenders are great and they are always on top of things. One of the problems we often run into is that their salads are always drenched on whatever dressing they serve. It’s a salad not soup. Wings were great. Crispy and delicious. The tri tip sandwich was way too salty you can barely taste the meat. It comes with chips, but they serve us the bottom of the container, all left over small pieces. The server should have caught that.

Would have gave 5 stars but I was a little disappointed in my first time experience there.. I ordered a bowl and it came with avocado, when I got the bowl there wasn't any so I asked the server. She looked at her pad.. and was like it doesnt come with it. I was pretty positive it did because my husband and I talked about if he got it he would have it removed and I joked to leave it for me to have. So I checked the menu and sure enough its on there. So I don't really think she wanted to check and just acted like she looked.. food and beer were great.. just disappointed in the service and lack there of.

Could have been better. The table smelled like dirty rag and ceiling kept dripping water on my head even after moving the table. Service was ok, I filled my own water glass 3 times. It was busy and I understand. The food was OK at best. The double smash burger was small. I dont know if I will go back.

The vibes are great. Beer selection is good. The food is mediocre at best. We ordered the buffalo cauliflower and it was so garlicky it was almost inedible, as well as the brussel sprouts which were burned and dry. We also had the burger which was served well-done when we asked for medium-rare. It tasted fine, but executing a good burger at a bar food spot should be basic. Really want to love it, but the food (and for the price), is super disappointing.

We were usually regulars here, but unfortunately, the new year has not been good for them. We waited for 1.5 hours on the cold outside for a table that was "ready in 10 mins" for about an hour. After we got seated, no one came to take our order for yet another 15 mins. The servers were not accommodating about the situation at all, and they seem to be annoyed with our existence. It seems the establishment does not care much about the customers as long as it is a "hot" season for them. If you see a waitlist, just run away. Do NOT WAIT!
