We went to Finney's Craft House in Santa Barbara and had such a fun dinner! The vibe was energetic…read moreand lively, and our waitress was great and super attentive. We clearly came hungry We ordered the poke nachos, avocado egg rolls, spicy tuna crispy rice, yuzu buffalo boneless wings, crispy coconut shrimp, fries, and the prosciutto and arugula flatbread. Everything was fresh and really good, elevated bar food with lots to choose from. The spicy tuna crispy rice was probably my favorite! My sister LOVED the avocado egg rolls, which have mango in them and were definitely a fun twist. The only thing I probably wouldn't order again was the prosciutto and arugula flatbread. The prosciutto was sliced pretty thick and cooked almost like bacon, which just wasn't what I was expecting. And the margaritas!! We tried the skinny, guava, and spicy mango and ALL three were excellent. I also loved being able to split and pay the bill ourselves on the little kiosk at the table. No waiting around for the check, which is such a nice touch! Fun atmosphere, great service, good food and EXCELLENT margaritas. I would definitely come back! Only took pictures of the drinks because we were too hungry lol.

I didn't expect it to be $20 though! Sheesh. You don't even get fries with it. Nonetheless, my son enjoyed it and that's all that matters to me. I ordered the single dang burger with small fries. The burger was delicious! I always get the special sauce on the side because I'm not sure if I will like it. Well dang! The special sauce here is clearly made in-house and I absolutely loved it!! The fries reminded me of In-n-Out, but better. They aren't too dry and paired well with the sauce. The atmosphere here is really nice! I love the options of outdoor seating and they also have a small area inside. The space is also shared with Sunburst wine bar. Overall, a great place to check out in Carpinteria.

We ordered the nachos with pulled pork, Mac and cheese with brisket, and two burgers. We underestimated how much food was coming out . Not only was it huge portions, everything also tasted so good. The people taking our orders were also super sweet.

Funk in Public…read more Family-owned and operated local chain of restaurants and butcher shops that's been serving the Santa Barbara community for over fifty years (ca. 1973). This location is in Santa Barbara's "Funk Zone" district, which was formerly an industrial area that's turned into a wine and art district full of interesting places to gander. The Good: * Huge dog-friendly covered outdoor seating * Full lineup of their signature Shalhoob craft beers. They also have fermented grapes and liquor, if beer isn't your jam. * Service was friendly and welcoming. * Street Parking and City-owned lots, as well. The lots are your best bet, and they're free for a short while. * Prices are very reasonable for a BBQ place. * The Street Corn app might be the best thing we ate here as the corn was super fresh right off the cob, and the Chipotle aioli was superb. * BBQ Beans was more of a bean soup, but it was decent. * Mac & Cheese was also pretty good. Carrots enjoyed it more than I did, but I might've been grumpy from the shitty meats (more on that in a minute). The Meh: * Tritip was completely dry and tasted like it was cooked in the oven and then finished on the grill. But, I will say, at least it was edible unlike the ribs... The Ugly: * Maybe the worst ribs I've ever had. They were just completely hammered with salt and completely blew out my palate within two bites, which is a shame because they were tender and cooked well, but jfc, no amount of sauce or anything is going to save something this salty. Conclusion: Maybe we just caught them on a bad day because a place doesn't survive for over fifty years serving up meat like this. I'd be willing to give them another try someday, but I need my tongue to recover first.

Delicious, juicy, flavor is totally on point! Don't miss this special, it's well worth the trouble getting in and out of the parking lot.

Super flavorful, cooked right, and not overcomplicated. Just a solid, satisfying bite every time. The birria burger with the dipping sauce was the standout though. Crispy edges, rich flavor, and that consommé on the side to dunk it in took it to another level. It gets messy but that is kind of the point. Had to add a side of sweet potato fries too. Crispy on the outside, soft in the middle, and the perfect balance to all that burger action. They definitely showed up for Burger Week.

When we walked in, the Hostess, Maya, greeted us with a smile, answered all of our questions and helped us find the perfect table for enjoying the perfect 80 degree with a cool breeze Montecito weather. Once seated, our waiter, Sean took over, explained the menu (food/cocktail) and struck the perfect balance between being attentive and allowing us the privacy to really enjoy both our email and the perfect day in the perfect setting! The General Manager, Ali, touched base briefly to make sure we were happy with our Hugo Spritz's and one of the Managers, Kevin, stopped by at the end of our meal to make sure we were completely happy. What makes the staff of The Honor Bar special is you can tell they really care... If attention to detail is important to you, you will love the fact the presentation of every dish was as good as the taste! I can strongly recommend both the Macho and Kale salads with roasted/rotisserie chicken! The Honor Bar is a must stop for lunch whenever you are in the area!
