Finney's Crafthouse - Laguna Beach

The food was very good. I had the pastrami and my wife has a burger, both with onion rings. We started out with the chicken and waffles appetizer. Our waiter Sunny, recommended the specific food items I ordered and is really great at his job! The vibe is really nice and casual. We look forward to going back in the future!

I've been to the Porter Ranch location and loved it so I decided to try Laguna beach during my trip. My family and I tried many things on the menu but I love the chicken tacos and the Guava margarita! I am also a fan of the Chicken Club sandwich and the Ace Pear Cider when they have it. Servers are also very kind and knowledgeable which is great! Music is always playing which creates a nice environment :))

I’ve only been here one time and I’m impressed already! I ordered off the happy hour menu a chicken quesadilla and it was delicious. Great atmosphere with a nice patio and bar already wildly popular with the locals. Definitely coming back to try more food items!

I live and work in Laguna, and so like most locals have been very excited to try out Finney's, even more so because several of my favorite customers and good friends have all had great things to say over the past week since opening!

I was NOT Disappointed.

Arriving shortly after work my name was taken for seating *(party of 1) at 4:20 pm, and I was told to expect about a 15-20 minute wait, for what appeared to be an extremely busy Sunday afternoon Happy Hour in Laguna Beach.
The Joint WAS PACKED. Wall to Wall, with seating for about 100-120 people I guessed, including the bar where it was standing room only.

20 minutes later I was seated and then met by Jordan who was both bright, eager and friendly as well as confident in his training and experience to date as he smoothly set my ice water and simultaneously took my order of Bison Burger and Fries with a Cadillac Margarita quickly and coolly.🤙🤙😎
🍹
My beautiful and deliciously refreshing Cadillac Margarita came within 2 minutes, allowing me plenty of time to both take in and enjoy the renovation and remodel of the historic White House to Finney's signature decor and watch the staff deftly move and serve the masses of hungry diners and drinkers.

The teamwork, coordination and communication was amazing to behold, as each staff member not only executed his or her job duties but also covered one another and helped each other continuously in order to quickly turn tables. Super Cool.
🍔
My burger was quite literally THE BEST BISON BURGER I have Ever had.

Hands Down. Prepared Perfectly medium rare, and topped so amazingly deliciously well that it required absolutely nothing added.

The initial bite was pure gastronomic heaven in every regard; taste, texture, consistency. Perfect and Incredible.
🍟
The French fries likewise were phenomenal. Soft on the inside while golden Crisp on the outside with a light toss in seasoning Makin them both yummy and hot.

All in all, I was impressed. 👍
Everybody was super smiley and happy to be there which was obvious, the vibe was super fun and chill while the music was the perfect mix of classic rock and pop rock for both fun and backgrounds.

I think I will go every Sunday after work until I have tried everything...until about the end of August, I reckon.🤔🤔
😋🤤🤤
I feel that the pricing was quite reasonable, (for Laguna) which allowed me to leave a 30% gratuity, I figure is split among my server, the bussers and food runners as well as I hope, the Bartenders.

Great new joint in DT Laguna.

Drinks take center stage but definitely some homeruns with the food. Highly recommend the boneless buffalo wings.

Really appreciated the attentive service and the special focus on our kids (and the high tech patio heaters!)

Happy we have a new go to restaurant in the neighborhood!
