Drink and atmosphere awesome. Chicken tenders not so good, under cooked, maybe because it was at the end of the night. Service was great as always. read more

The moment I walked in I knew I would love it. And I did. The atmosphere and decor perfectly fit the old-style vibes Finney's emitted. I ordered a Southern Chicken bowl, mozzarella sticks, and fries. The Southwest Chicken bowl tasted fantastic and I really liked it. The mozzarella sticks were amazing, and I am a big fan of their fries. The service was great and our waiter checked on us frequently. And their soda tasted great with nothing wrong with it. And they served it with a unique style cup. The restrooms were very modern and spotless. Overall, I greatly enjoyed eating at Finney's Crafthouse. read more

I was craving a burger, so we decided to come here and try this spot in Brea. Unfortunately, we left feeling very disappointed and very ripped off. While the service was fine, the food was a huge disappointment. We started with the mini poke tacos, which were fine. The fish tasted fresh, and the sauce was good, but I was expecting a wonton shell. All the food was a letdown from this point on. We ordered the wagyu burger, and the BBQ burger. The wagyu burger didn't taste any more special compared to a regular burger, and it felt like the meat quality just didn't justify the price. The BBQ burger tasted like any fast food burger (comparable to the Western BBQ burger at Carls' Jr). Additionally, the burger patties were extremely dry. When i squeezed into my bbq burger, no burger juices came out, just a lot of bbq sauce. I had ordered mine medium, but it was grey throughout the entirety of the patty. The burgers here don't come with fries, and they charge extra for fries. We got the truffle fries, but it tasted like fries that you could order at shake shack, or any other fast food spot. The restaurant's main entrees are burgers and sandwiches, and the fact that they charge extra for a side felt like a slap in the face. And the fact that the burgers were bone dry, and still costed 14+ (without sides), just made it feel like a total rip off. I will say that the beer selection was pretty good. I ordered the Mother Earth Cali Creamer, and it was very vanilla forward and pretty good. We also had a strawberry spritz, but it was just okay, not really what you expect from a spritz, but tasted more like a seltzer. The restaurant had loud country music playing in the background, but was pretty empty for a Saturday afternoon. Wouldn't come back, you're better off at a fast food joint like shake shack or Carl's Jr, for the same quality and half the price. read more

This place is becoming my new favorite. My family and I came in for a quick appetizer and drinks. And by the way, they have a good selection of beer! We shared a couple orders of quesadillas . Our server was nice , the atmosphere was nice. The place is super clean. I will definitely be back ! read more

Fist time at Finneys and my only regret was going on a Friday night. The wait to be seated was about an hour and 15 mins and the wait to get our food was another hour. I would highly recommend jumping on the Yelp waitlist before hand so when you arrive your wait isn't as long. Friday evenings are busy so no matter where you sit it's loud. Inside it's loud and outside it's loud due to all the cars and street noise. . Being our first time we didn't know what to try so we ordered a few different items. Pretzel was on the smaller side but so good! Highly suggest it as an appetizer. The crispy rice was ok, id probably order something different next time and give something else a try. As for food, we ordered poke bowl and chicken bowl which both were delicious. We also ordered tater tots which were amazing! They were crispy and had great flavor. There are different items on the burgers and sandwiches that looked and sounded delicious. Looking forward to going back and giving something else a try. read more

We have been a fan of all the different Finney's for a few years now. Been to 4 different places. The one in Orange is the first and favorite. Great appetizers, drinks and beers all good. Service is always great. Great place to watch sports. read more

Went to the one in Santa ana and this place still meets expectations. The happy hour is also great. I got the deviled eggs which y'all should try. There is also a good amount of beer to try from. Service was great as well. It is in a good location with plenty of parking so that a big plus. Can't wait to make this my spot to come after work. read more

The Go to spot. Perfect post church meal with friends/ family. The service is always efficient. * Blueberry lemonade AP - make it Arnold Palmer (TRUST me) * Carnitas nachos is a MUST for app- it's limey, has a little kick, meaty, and cheesy * Go for the Moroccan salad add blackened salmon- it's fresh, zesty, hearty, love the dried cranberries, quinoa, chickpea crumble, almonds, feta and cherry tomatoes Thank me later read more

Returned to Finney's after leaving a week before d/t no service on patio. This time our experience was much better with attentive staff and good food. Restaurant staff kind and welcoming. We did like the kids activity page and the food served prior to adults giving us time to help them. The only suggestion I could give is to get a new pizza cutter- the children's pizza was barely cut. We will be back read more

A great option to dine in if you're in downtown Brea area. Pricing for its food quality is great, not overly priced raging around 12-20 bucks a plate. Our appetizers and main dishes were all pretty good. Must order is the coconut shrimps, these were so good! Service was good we didn't have to wait long for our table and our food. Would be back ! read more

I was really impressed with Finney's in Brea! I've been here twice now, and both times the food has been delicious. I love the Finney's burger, the burger was juicy and flavorful. My wife got the Moroccan salad which was a great entree salad. Service was quick and helpful, the restaurant has a fun vibe and a good place to have a date or hang before a movie. read more

Went to Finney's for the first time and absolutely loved it. Good quality American food. I actually got 10 items from their menu but I was too hungry to take pictures. I must admit everything I tasted was a 10/10. The food did take a while to get to the table. However, it was worth the wait. Definitely a great hang out spot. Great place to enjoy food and drinks. read more

I was so excited about Finney's opening up and I was finally able to check out this location. Upon arrival we were seated right away and ordered off the happy hour menu which has a pretty good selection! Very spacious set up in regard to seating and the food we ordered was delicious! Although one thing to note- service was slow and our server kept avoiding our table which made it difficult to get his attention for us to order more food and drinks. read more

Came here for the first time after attending BREA BONANZA DAYS. And most likely won't be back again. For starters, our server was not very friendly. Greeted us kinda with an attitude and seemed pretty annoyed when asked why don't any of the entrees come with a side? When receiving our burgers, I literally laughed. I'm not even joking when I tell you they looked like kid burgers. And for the price they were worth with no side was pretty alarming. We also ordered chips and salsa. When receiving it, it was in a tiny bowl with literally an ounce of salsa in a tiny little cup thing. Flavor was bland. I'm just so surprised how the prices are so high, yet the portions are literally kid portions. Definitely disappointed overall. They seem like they can have great potential but definitely not executing it. read more

Overpriced under portion, the server looked mad at the fact that we asked why our food didn't come with sides. The size of of our hamburger was the size of a value meal at McDonald's and the irony is that the box that they give you to go is as if you supersize the food The chips and guac We're a child size they give you a soufflé cup of guacamole in about six chips. save your appetite and go elsewhere. read more

The staff was very welcoming and nice. Many American food options to choose from, especially drinks. Kid friendly during the day, high chairs available and a kids menu and the staff was delighted to see children and were so kind. There are TVs and arcade games, this can be a a casual-fun date spot potentially. I got the Caesar salad and it was good! read more

This place is really cool! If you come for dinner on a busy night, prepare for a bit of a wait for a table, as it's first come first served. The atmosphere in the place is really chill. Almost like a modern industrial mixed with upper class deco vibe. Service is really good here our waitress was prompt and checked on us often. Came here with a party of six and we all loved our food. Everything tasted great and seemed to be really good quality ingredient. Overall, I think Finneys is a welcome addition to downtown Brea and will definitely get more popular the longer it's open read more

This restaurant was just ok, Nothing to impressive about it. Clean with an open floor concept but the food is uninspiring and pricy for its quality. I had the mango habanero wings, Which lacked bold flavor and meat. Tasted like they went from the freezer to the fryer. The Mahi Mahi fish tacos were unimpressive , from the tortilla to the quality of the fish. You can find way better food for half the price. The Blueberry lemonade had a nice sweet flavor. The server was friendly but struggled to enter the order into the POS system. Had a good selection of beer and cocktails. Good to try once but better choices are all over Orange County. read more

Good food, mediocre service. *Dear Yelp, here are a few more sentences for the people who enjoy reading reviews rather than getting outside & experiencing what this world has to offer. Remember what life was like before yelp? We just went places 'cause they looked cool, tried restaurants 'cause they looked nice or someone recommended it... but now, most of us go on Yelp. Why? To read novel length reviews from wannabe journalists? Or are you like me: I just want to look at the menu before hand, check out the prices, & know if I'll get food poisoning or not. Either way, you read this long rant, thanks, I hope I made you laugh P.S please stop asking us to write novel/essay length reviews... we don't have time for that, we're not getting paid for that either! & don't think the "Elite" status is something people strive for, means nothing. But here I am, still Yelping because I think I'm helping, lol. Yelp, the original business influencer site... let's hope Instagram & TikTok kids don't start making videos of all the businesses around here, they tend to ruin beautiful places. read more

We never went to the Ruby's when it was here but Finney's is a welcome addition to dt Brea! We're fans of the location in Orange and this Brea one is much closer to us, yay! Came on Mothers Day for a late lunch and waited about 15 min for our table to be ready. We have a toddler and a baby and Finney's is very family friendly with room for strollers as well! Food menu is the same as the Brea location and is really solid and reasonably priced. Parking is free and easy in any of the nearby garages - will definitely be back! read more

I keep coming back for a reason... consistency. The food is always good. Of course, there's going to be things not everyone likes, but they're more than willing to adjust items. For instance, the arugula on the wagyu could be left off but some like it. The margarita flight is good but was so strong. The burgers, pizzas and appetizers are always good. Lieterally the only thing I've hated was the carnitas nachos. The cheesesteak egg rolls are delicious. read more

We always like to try new restaurants in the Brea area since they all have pretty decent happy hours. This place also had a good happy hour but with so many good restaurants nearby, I couldn't give it 5 stars. The service was excellent and everyone was friendly but the happy hour food was pretty average. We shared a burger combo and carnitas nachos. The burger and carnitas nachos were both below average. Both were a bit flavorless and the nachos were salty. We also got an orange blood hef which I thought was very good and my wife got a happy hour guava margarita which I thought was the highlight of the meal. Anyway, it certainly is not a bad place to go and overall, we enjoyed our experience but the happy hour food isn't worth going back. read more

Welcome to the neighborhood Finney's Crafthouse! Brea downtown is super lucky to have you and I'm thrilled to have another great option for dining. We saw Finney's doors open while we were headed to a different restaurant and decided to pop in. We ate a Moroccan salad which was mixed greens, dried cherries, almonds, carrots, cucumber, feta, tomato, chick pea crumble, quinoa and charred lemon vinaigrette. It was DELICIOUS (all caps). We could have added chicken, steak, ahi, shrimp or salmon but chose to not add protein. Great option for next time though. We also ate Gary's Pepperoni pizza which had marinara and mini pepperoni cups. We added hot honey for $2 and I'm not sure how Gary decided this pizza could elevate with hot honey but it did! Between the perfect little pepperonis, the sweetness of the hot honey and the crispy crust of the flatbread, this pizza was something else! The little guy had a meal that deserves it's own paragraph. For $9, he selected 2 mini cheeseburgers (cute little sliders), a side of vanilla yogurt with M&Ms and a blueberry lemonade. I made him eat a bit of our salad to balance it out, but he loved it. It also came with a tiny gummy burger that blew his little mind and the menu was a little activity book that paired with crayons, kept him busy for the meal. Our server was super nice and attentive. The manager even came over to check in. Such a nice experience. We will be back! read more

We got there during happy hours so we ordered happy hours menu. We ordered: - coconut shrimp (4.5/5) the sauce is good. - steak taquitos (4/5) chipotle aioli is good but too spicy - chicken waffles (3.5/5) - mini finney cheeseburgers (3.5/5) bread is a bit dry and hard. It doesn't come with fries. The service is good. The server is attentive. read more

I recommend this place 100% decided to give them a try because i was on a wait list for another restaurant and was way too long for us. Walked in there and they were very busy but in less than 20 minutes we were seated. Service was fast and friendly. We had the carnitas nachos as an appetizer and they were absolutely amazing. For entrees we had a couple of burgers, can't recall which ones but we're definitely good. Only bummer was I wasn't able to try their blood orange beer (which is why my attention to this place was caught) but I tried their margarita flight, I loved the guava and blood orange one. My husband had their blonde beer and said it was good! Will definitely come back for the food and for me to try their blood orange beer. They have a lot of TV with sport playing. I had my little family and felt very welcomed with them! read more

I've eaten at the Camarillo and Ventura locations and have had great experiences. My friend group wanted to try out the new Brea location since it just opened. First of all, I love the location. It's on the corner and gives off warm and family friendly vibes. If there's one thing I would change is to lower the music volume a little bit so we're not having to shout to talk. Our and drink orders were taken right away. We didn't have to wait too long either to get them. My go to fave is the truffle fries and this one didn't disappoint! Our server came to check in on us regularly and his recommendations were on point. Prices were reasonable. Would definitely be back! read more

Heard there was a new spot in Brea getting a lot of buzz, so we decided to check out Finney's Crafthouse. Even though we went on a weekday, the place was packed and we waited about 20 minutes for a table. Tip: make sure to get on the waitlist as soon as you arrive. The host will take your information and text you when your table is ready, which was super convenient. Parking is free, but just a heads up, a bit of a walk since you have to park in the nearby structure. Not terrible, but something to keep in mind if you're in a rush or wearing heels! Our waitress was really friendly and attentive, which added to the experience. We ordered the cauliflower, tacos, and a burger with fries. The cauliflower was the unexpected standout as it was crispy, flavorful, and totally crave worthy. Tacos were good too, but the burger was kind of a miss. It came out super plain--just the patty, bun, and sauce. No veggies or anything to balance it out, which was a bit disappointing. The vibe inside is fun, energetic, and they have lots of big TV screens playing sports and even a few games around, giving it a lively, hangout type feel. Great spot for groups or a casual night out. Overall, good food, friendly service, and a great atmosphere. I'd definitely go back for drinks and apps! read more

I have nothing but luv for this place. Everything I have ordered here was delish! The buffalo cauliflower, ahi poke nachos and tacos, the brussel sprouts and pizza was awesome.

Tried this new location in downtown Brea. The place looks great- very welcoming with a festive vibe. Lots of TVs near the bar and plenty of restaurant seating. The staff were very friendly and attentive. I tried the Nashville chicken sliders. These are damn good! Very tasty with a perfect smoky hot sauce and a generous portion of chicken on each slider. The only reason I didn't give 5 stars is the noise level of the music playing. It was so loud we literally could not speak to each other across the table. Very annoying. Otherwise, this would have been a 5-star review. read more

Poke nachos were not pleasant. Had no taste. Was ice cold. Not even heated. Would not order from them again.

Had a work lunch here and decided to go for a salad as I wasn't feeling like a burger. I got the Morrocan salad with steak and a side of onion rings. The salad and dressing was sooo good! So was the onion rings. Very flavorful and I love the ketchup that came with the onion rings - it's a bit tangy and has a little kick. The steak however was terrible. I asked for a medium and it was well done. It also wasn't seasoned at all, and I could taste the meat used wasn't super fresh. Good thing was they gave a good size portion of steak so too bad it didn't taste very good. We also ordered a few appetizers to share among the group. The appetizers were quite large, not as I remembered last time I went to a Finny's. We ordered: coconut shrimp - they used jumbo shrimps and so was a good size portion per order. I however did not love it as much as some other coconut shrimps I've had. Philly Cheesesteak Eggrolls.- large, but just okay. I wished it was more savory. Might have needed some peppers in it to help balance out the rest of the flavor Boffola cauliflower - just okay. The batter wasn't crispy even though it was a nice golden brown. And it didn't have very much flavor. All I tasted was the soft cauliflower inside and the buffalo sauce that was drizzled on top. Presentation looked great, but flavor was really lacking Tuna over fried rice - delicious, the rice was perfectly crispy, and the tuna on top was a little tangy and a little spicy. Would definitely order again Lettuce wrap - loved this dish as well, if it had just a little less salt. The dish was crispy and had many ingredients, but it was just a bit too salty sadly. I'll probably skip the appetizers next time and just get the salad. read more
