I ordered the steak fajitas and I LOVED them! The black salsa was amazing, I want a gallon of it! The onions and peppers were abundant and perfectly cooked. The steak was cooked perfectly! I have never rated food before, but I had to for this. Thank you! read more

I decided to walk in after the gym as it smelled really good. Because I had just finished working out I didn't wanna eat something that would make me feel guilty. I had not noticed that they had some healthy items on their menu so I decided to walk in. This time I was by myself and did not have my wallet with me so I asked if I could use Apple Pay to pay which you can. I decided to sit at the bar by myself. The bar area had a good ambience with a game from the Dodgers playing. The bartender was really friendly and made me feel welcomed. Once I ordered my beer came out pretty quick and my burger followed not too long after. I ordered the bison burger, and it was really good. I saw a few other items that would be guiltless or not as unhealthy that I will most likely try on a different location after the gym when I'm hungry and don't feel like cooking afterwards. read more

It's a typical American food place, nothing extraordinary. Food is as expected. My cobb salad was pretty enjoyable, fresh, and a great portion size. Also enjoyed my espresso martini. The burger my husband had was dry and lacking in flavor so we probably wouldn't get it again. Overall an easy spot to grab a decent lunch and quick service. Just not my first go-to eatery in Brea. read more

Had a below average experience on Fathers Day. The waitress was super stoned and forgot to take my wife's order. She walked away after taking 4 of our tables orders. The burger was decent a little dry with a small patty. Poke nachos not good at all, very dry with not much fish on them. The worse part was the wings! We had the Cajun dry rub and mango habanero. There was no difference between the 2 flavors, both were dry with no seasonings and the wings had barely any meat. I wish I asked for my money back on these 2 orders. read more

Great spot for catching sports games with plenty of screens throughout. The cocktails are made with fresh juices, and they're always better that way. My favorite was the Passionfruit Sour. We had the carnitas nachos, which lacked a bit of spice, and the pork was dry. The pretzel was soft, and out of the three dipping sauces, the honey was surprisingly our favorite. The cheese sauce was a little odd. For the wings, we would have loved to get two flavors, but they only toss the wings in one flavor. If you choose a second flavor, half of the wings are served plain with the sauce on the side. read more

We haven't eaten at Finney's for several months and this place never disappoints. The three of us wanted a nice, relaxing lunch so asked if we could be seated in a booth and away from the group with the young child. The hostess happily accommodated us (and we did hear that child scream and cry several times during the time we were there). We were seated in a booth, but unfortunately, we were across from a group of two women and one man who kept saying every version of "f***" there was. We really didn't need to hear any of that especially with our daughter with us. People really need to have more class. Ryenne was our server who told us it was only his third day training at Finney's. We all thought he did a great job! He was extremely friendly, talkative seemed excited and happy to be working here. Our food was really good! We were all in the mood for some type of burger. My husband had the Wagyu Burger, which he said was excellent! My daughter had to Finney's Craft Burger, which she enjoyed. And I ordered the new Turkey Burger with it lettuce wrapped. It was really good! I ordered one order of large french fries, which we all shared and was plenty for the three of us to share. We started with the Crispy Brussels which were so crunchy and delicious! My daughter also really enjoyed her Sprite Dirty Soda. We'll definitely be back in the near future ard hopefully not be seated close to any classless patrons. read more

Came in for "just one drink" and somehow ended up emotionally attached to the Watermelon Smash Super refreshing, dangerously easy to drink, and gave summer backyard party energy in the best way. The Mexican candy shot also did what it needed to do... tiny but mighty lol. The atmosphere was lively without feeling overwhelming, and the bartenders were cool and quick even when it got busy. Definitely one of those spots where you accidentally stay longer than planned because everybody's vibing. 10/10 would come back for another "I'll only stay for an hour" lie. read more

Burgers were good, but service was disappointing! Came on a Saturday night and it was busy, but not all the tables were full. Waited about 10-15 mins before someone took our order. It looked like they had a lot of workers, but maybe not enough servers? We ordered the following: - Hickory bbq burger $14 Great burger but they forgot the bbq sauce. I didn't notice until a few bites in. It took a while to get some service and my burger was cold by the time the sauce came. - A5 Wagyu burger $17 Really good, but the burger was fairly small! I don't think it was that worth it for the price. - Large truffle fries $9 Good size and just ordered a large to share between two people. Loved the type of fries, but way too salty. Overall, food was 4/5, but service was lacking. Finished our waters but no one came by to check in or refill either. read more

Came here with a party of 9 and unfortunately this was the most disorganized Finney's location I've visited. We called ahead and were told a 10-minute wait, but when we arrived it became 20 minutes. We were then seated in a booth that was way too tight and uncomfortable for our group. Drinks came out separately and spread apart, menus were sticky, and the restaurant was much louder than other locations. Food was hit or miss--the grilled cheese was inconsistent, and the mini lobster rolls were disappointing. On the positive side, the avocado rolls, poke nachos, and poke bowl were all good. I did appreciate that they allowed us to split the check for a large group. Overall, I like Finney's, but the Brea location probably isn't one I'd return to. My favorite is still the Orange location. read more

Had such a great first experience here. The customer service is top notch. We were greeted and seated right away. Our server never missed a refill. The food was amazing. I can't wait to go back and try more of the menu. They have some of the friendliest staff ever. The establishment itself was nice and open with plenty of seating. There were big screens everywhere so you could see the soccer matches wherever you sat. The bathrooms are also nice and tidy. Can't wait to come back. read more

Not only is the food incredible and delicious, Server Emily is super hospitable very kind and very attentive. She has a contagious. Smile, makes customer smile! Honestly great service. And the food here is amazing. Their Finney's craft beers are so awesome. I had a flight to four different samples and they were a good portion and very delicious. The prices here are very reasonable too. My kids and I loved it read more

Pepperoni pizza was good and the hot honey made it a tad bit better, the cheese burger egg rolls were a good appetizer and the hot mustard was surprisingly good with it!

Went there today for happy hour which is 3-5. . My wife ordered the Cobb salad, which is not on the happy hour menu. For all you Cobb salad lovers she loves the Cobb salad. I ordered the Finney hamburger off of the happy hour menu. The good news is that it is a pretty good deal. The meal includes a hamburger, fries and a drink. Normally they are all Ala carte, which can add up. I was disappointed with the burger as it just did not have that much flavor. It was a large portion of beef, but it lacked flavor. On another note the service we received was very good. read more

This place has a good happy hour. Food is good. Drinks are also good. Great variety. The only thing that turned me off was their one year old expired Tapatio hot sauce. One bottle literally had mold in it. The manager came out and apologized to our party and compensated some drinks and appetizers. He truly seemed apologetic and worried for those that had some before realizing it had mold. We had a big party and all bottles were at least a year expired. Makes you wonder what else is expired. read more

Been here at least half a dozen times since and their food has always been good. In the recent past, I got the Moroccan salad with chicken and thought it was really good! And The buffalo cauliflower appetizer was excellent! I've ordered that a few times now. Today I ordered the Mediterranean protein bowl with chicken and the chicken was a little tough, dry and salty unfortunately. The dishes were decent overall. One complaint I have however, is in their restroom. They don't offer paper towels to wipe your hands with after washing them. I don't feel like a blower is as sanitary, takes too long, and you have to grab the door handle to open the door to exit! Pleeease can you invest in some paper towels for the bathrooms...? read more

Came here for a casual business meeting and this was the perfect place. I had the prosciutto and arugula flatbread pizza. The crust was thin and crispy and there is a spicy honey drizzle as well.

My review is not a reflection of their service. Customer service was good, our server was attentive and friendly overall. Inside it's very casual w/ sports on tv etc. The food however was not good. My kid ordered the grilled chicken from the kids menu, the flavor was ok but it was a little dry (I tried it). I ordered the tri-tip sandwich. The meat itself was average, but did not go well with the bread and aioli they pair it with. This would be better on a roll or baguette type of bread. The sandwich comes with chips which I didn't care for (oily), but since I had ordered tater tots I was ok with pushing the chips aside. The tater tots were awful. The worst I've ever had. All I tasted was oil. No flavor, no seasoning, tried several, tried with ketchup, nothing helped unfortunately. None of us ate them. The best part of my meal was probably the beer. I will not be returning here or any Finneys if this is what their food is like. read more

Came here for happy hour. Here's what we got: Spicy Tuna Crispy Rice - Liked it. The rice is crispy. The tuna is well seasoned and not overly spicy. The eel sauce is a delicious addition to the whole dish. Steak Taquitos - Crunchy just how I like them. Topped with yummy salsa, cheese, green onions and dipping sauces. Finney Burger Combo - The patty is good but the rest is pretty average. The included fries are kinda meh, not as crispy as we had hoped even though we did request them to be extra crispy. Overall the food is good and atmosphere is cool. Big screen TVs all around so you can catch a good game or 2. read more

Finney's Crafthouse in Brea recently opened on the corner of Brea Blvd and Birch Street where Ruby's Diner and Farrell's used to be. There are two large parking garages less than a block away. We have been meaning to try Finney's by the Orange Circle, but ended up trying this location first. The restaurant has dark ceilings and an open, roomy feel. There are booths, tables, and seating around the bar. They have a very good selection of craft beers on tap, and a good number of cocktails and wines. There are a lot of TVs around the restaurant and good background music playing. We started out with the Buffalo Cauliflower bites appetizer (with Yuzu sauce, blue cheese, garlic aioli, $14). It came with a good number of tasty cauliflower clusters with buffalo drizzle on top as well as a side of buffalo sauce. The garlic aioli had a very garlicky aroma and taste, but we enjoy that. All of the pieces were nice bite-sized, and not greasy. I ordered the Blood Orange Marg (Campo Azul reposado tequila, blood orange, jalapeno, tajin, $13). It tasted like a regular house margarita with a tiny hint of blood orange, and no jalapeno flavor. I definitely wanted to taste the blood orange more. She had the Watermelon smash cocktail (Platinum 7x vodka, cucumber, watermelon, mint, sugar, $13). It was very light and refreshing, and had a great sugar rim. I tasted a lot of cucumber and mint, but the watermelon flavor was more in the background, unfortunately. For my entrée, I had the smoked tri-tip sandwich (Fontina, arugula, cherry peppers, horseradish garlic aioli, $16) with a side of chips. This was a very good and very filling sandwich. It had a lot of meat inside, the bread had a nice crisp on it, and the argula, peppers, and aioli complemented the meat well. The chips were good and not oily at all, but needed some salt. She had the Impossible taco salad (Romaine, pico, corn, chilis, tortillas, cheese, cilantro lime dressing, $17). It had a nice variety of ingredients, and the cilantro lime dressing was great. She said she really enjoyed it. It is a pretty big salad, and there was plenty left to take home. We shared one last cocktail, Meghan's Grapefruit Martini (Wheatley vodka, grapefruit, elderflower, lime, sugar, $14). The grapefruit flavor definitely lived up to the name on this drink. It was good, with a little bitterness. Emily, our server, was great, and service was well paced. We would return again. read more

My review is based on our last visit on Saturday night. My family and I are big fans of finneys, we've gone to many locations such as Orange, Claremont and even Oceanside. Have been to Brea as well and always a good experience with good up until this weekend. This review is based off the service. We came in Saturday night and sat towards the back by the skeeball machines & our server was the brunette with the braised pigtails, missed her name since we paid on the machine on the table so no receipt with her name. First incident was we had already been waiting 10-15+ min waiting for her to walk by so we can ask for a refill as well as place a different drink order, after not even seeing her in the restaurant we asked another girl if she could get our server, she looked around the restaurant and told us our server was busy and helped us with our refills + beer order. Few minutes after we were helped by that girl, we see our server exit the restroom. Must've been in there for quite awhile. Secondly, when they brought out my family and i's dinner. I noticed my smash burger was actually just a plain cheeseburger with only ketchup(red sauce) in it. We again waited for 10+ minutes for our server to come check in and ask how our food is so I could let her know my burger was wrong. She never left the kitchen after several minutes of us waiting to let the mistake be known, we let another girl working know my meal was wrong and to bring a manager. Instead of a manager our server came and let us know she'd go fix it. What's really annoying is she has the audacity to come back 5 minutes later and tell us the burger correct and just missing grilled onions but "since it was cold, they'll make me another one". I've ordered this smash burger many many times from finneys and never has the mustard aioli been red so not only is she a liar but she also couldn't take accountability. After my family was basically done with their meal I was able to eat my burger, when she came by and asked how it was I let her know the sauce was correct this time and she just walked off. I'm not even upset that the burger was wrong, it happens. More upset with how long the service took and how long it took before I was able to get any help with correcting the issue and then the server having the nerve to say it was the correct burger when it obviously looked more like a kids meal cheeseburger. I pray we don't get this server again read more

As far as pizzas go, it wasn't one of my favorites. When a menu advertises sausage & garlic, my favorite two item combination that isn't clams, I'm expecting a decent sausage and some roasted (preferably) or minced garlic. This pizza had garlic Parmesan, which has no texture or buttery heft at all. I can forgive the crust being thin and sauce non-existent, but I don't think of that as a garlic pie at all. The service was good, although there were brief gaps at the beginning where my drink order took awhile to be given and another when I was waiting for a refill so long another server/manager had to get it. And then a minute later my original refill came. What saves this place from being average is the ambience and energy of this place is stellar. The layout, all the tv's, the clientele, and just the vibe of the place is great. I would come out here to watch a good game or plan an informal hang here any day--meal or no meal. It has to be the the number one selling point for sure. Overall, nothing is bad enough that makes me think you'd have a bad meal or drink here. It just wouldn't be my first choice. But, oh Lordy, does that place know how to make you feel excited to be part of the crowd once you walk. I wish all places could feel that special. read more

Brianna was our server she was friendly, it was sort of busy for afternoon late lunch. They have inside and outside seating, was such a beautiful day so we sat outside. They have actually a decent selection of food to choose from for both adults and kids menu. Ordered the kids pasta with yogurt but didn't think it would be Yoplait with m&m's, and it came with a krabby patty candy lol, baby girl enjoyed her pasta. We ordered a burger with fries and I got the mini lobster rolls. He didn't enjoy the burger so much but I enjoyed my lobster roll but it wasn't the best I ever had. Also got a raspberry lemonade which was yummy, a beer and a dr pepper. The food was decent, the customer service was not bad little slow but not bad. I'm not sure if we would come here again but happy we tried it. Maybe the other items on the menu would have been a better choice. Would we come here again? Maybe but not our first choice around here. I'm sure other items are good so maybe if we do come here again I would try something else. Have a beautiful day, be kind to everyone :) Aloha read more

Is this a sport pub for maga supporters or a restaurant that's family friendly? Came in today for dinner, restaurant wasn't busy decided to try it out. Came in with family and a toddler. Upon being seated we were never offered a high chair by host, it was only after we asked our server for one that one was brought over. Then an obnoxious group seated next to us requested to the server if they could switch the channel to their preference. The server appeased them and put on hockey. This group was very loud and disruptive through out our whole meal. Mind other sports were on other televisions yet no one was loud as this table. The staff didn't even try to calm this group or call their attention. When food was received burger was ordered medium yet it was well done. Don't recommend this place at all. read more

Ryan, the manager of this location, reached out to me regarding my first experience at their restaurant. I'm glad he did. He encouraged me to come back Everyone deserves a second chance, right? I decided to bring my neighbor with me this time and enjoy a regular dinner versus appetizers. Ryan was a delight as was our waitress Skye. The atmosphere is very comfortable. It's a sports bar, so you can catch your favorite game while enjoying dinner should it be on. I ordered the southwest salad with a side order of sweet potato fries. My neighbor ordered the wedge salad along with a flatbread pizza. While we waited for our dinner to arrive, I thought I would try another appetizer, so ordered their avocado eggrolls. My neighbor really enjoyed the avocado eggrolls. Were they my favorite? They were OK. I'm glad my neighbor enjoyed them! The southwest salad looked delicious. I didn't care so much for the Sriracha sauce that came with it so requested ranch instead. The salad comes with a sauce already included which I forgot about. The Sriracha sauce was so hot, so I requested ranch dressing on the side. I wish I would've remembered the salad included a sauce before putting the ranch dressing on. It was still good, but I wished I would've tried it without the ranch! If you love spicy food, I'm sure the Sriracha sauce would be delicious on this southwest salad. Can we talk about the sweet potato fries with sea salt? They were the best sweet potato fries I think I've ever had! I would totally get them again. Love them! My neighbor ordered his flatbread with pepperoni. However, when it came it had sausage. He decided to eat it anyway and totally enjoyed it along with his wedge salad. All in all it was a good experience! read more

Well... we walked in with high hopes and left blown away. No, literally we were being blown away by a huge fan they turned on right above our table. Our to-go boxes caught air and flew over to the booth next to us. My hair was flying into the plates that were never picked up. We took this as a sign that they wanted us to leave.... Yes, we were there past closing time, but not the only table left in the restaurant. Our night at Finney's started off great. We were greeted by a comfortable environment and many big TV screens showing all of the sporting games. We ordered 3 appetizers while waiting for the remaining 2 out of 6 for our party. We all got drinks as well. The onion rings were very good and came with a lot on the plate. We also ordered the poke nachos and a Bavarian pretzel that were pretty good. So far, we were enjoying our experience. I ordered the double smash burger lettuce/wrapped. It was so-so. It was very greasy and left a puddle of grease on my plate after a few bites. I liked the sweet potato fries I ordered on the side even though they showed up cold. Nothing special about the entrees across the table. In the midst of us eating and watching the football game. We were never asked if we wanted any refills or visited once we received our food. We got our food 5 minutes past closing time. We were celebrating a birthday of a family member from out-of-state. We feel like we dropped the ball bringing them here on their birthday! read more

Food here was better for bar food. It wasn't great but it was better for bar food. We came here for the Dodgers World Series because one of the other places I like does not open on Monday and they recommended this place, The place was not as packed as they would have hoped for a World Series so they sent our server home. And later on sent our other server home hence making us close out twice which didn't help their situation. On top of that they did not tell us that last call was at 9. So it took a while so we went to the bar to get some more drinks and that's when they told us...no more food or liquor. This place was average...for a World Series game it should've been packed and full of life. read more

The minute I started reading the menu I was put off by the menu that charges extra for fries ($3.50 small- $7 large). If you order a burger, sandwich etc., fries are extra. I hate this! I can see onion rings, sweet potato fries and other more expensive sides but fries? Just another way to gouge the customer....IMO. Also there small POS (point of sale) devises on each table so you can pay which is convenient but they charge $3 to play games on it. Just another way to gouge the customer. We all have phones with games on them anyway. The Finney burger ($13)was decent, but lacked flavor. The burger meat is a nice mixture of three different meats but again lacked flavor, needed seasoning. Hate to say it but In-N-Out is way better for third of the price. Double Smashburger w/ cheese was better and pretty good. Service was good and we loved the decor inside with lots of TVs and a large bar area. Nice menu maybe we'll try something different during Happy Hour. read more

Went here for my don's birthday. First time. We got there in time for happy hour! We got 2 of the combos-GREAT DEAL! One got the Finney burger, the other the chicken sandwich (one did ask for no pickled onions and had to take them off instead of sending back and waiting) I got the impossible taco salad-so stoked they had plant based options!! We also got the coconut shrimp-which were great. Nice atmosphere. Great beer! They had Naughty Sauce by Noble Ale Works. For dessert, our waiter brought out a complimentary ice cream sandwich-soooo good! DEFINITELY WILL BE BACK read more

5/5/26 around 5:15 pm. The hostess was very pleasant--Nice smile and welcoming. We love the Santa Barbara restaurant and had high hopes for Brea. We sat at the half empty bar, waiting to order while the bartender chit chatted and fiddled with her water bottle. We were patient but eventually left. No one even noticed. I live locally. Firsts time in, and it'll be the last. Walked over to Yardhouse and had a great time as usual. read more

First time here and I came by with my family on a Monday night, and it wasn't busy at all. We had a pretty large party, about 20 people, so they seated us in the back. Overall, everything was great and the food was delicious. Our server, Emily, was also great. I did have one issue. I ordered the 3 mini cheeseburgers for myself and a cheese pizza for my daughter. We ended up getting full from the appetizers, so our plates were still pretty full (2 mini cheeseburgers, and 3/4 pizza left). At the end of the meal, my family wanted to take a group picture. While getting everyone together, I noticed a few of the servers clearing our table and throwing everything away. I rushed over and saw that my plate of mini cheeseburgers and my daughter's pizza had already been placed in the bin with dirty dishes and trash. I had told them that there was still food left on those plates and was planning to take it home. They took the plates out of the bin and placed them back on the table, which I found pretty unsanitary. To make it worse, the plate with the pizza already had dirty plates stacked on top of it and the server asked me if that was ok? I was honestly so shocked in the moment that I just said it was fine, but looking back, it really wasn't. There was also no apology, which made the situation even more disappointing. I completely understand wanting to clean up tables efficiently to get out of there as quickly as possible (restaurant was about to close), but this is food that we paid for... if there is still food left, especially when customers are clearly still present, please ask before throwing anything away. read more

Service was very good here for the most part, the servers were kind, could have come by the table more often to check on us but were pretty detail oriented. Just one person in my party asked for a few extra sauces that they didn't bring out, we had to remind them 3 times and finally the 3rd time almost 20 minutes later they finally brought them. Food was very good, I got the bone in wings and loved they were crispy and still a but juicy. The burgers were very good and made with fresh beef. Cocktails were very good too!! I got a margarita flight and loved all of the flavors! Layout of the tables is a bit strange, but love the old American diner/arcade/sports bar vibe lol. I'd recommend! Better than the Ruby's Diner it replaced. read more

Terrible service. Cannot even get your meal out to you in door dash in less than an hour. Try something else.
