Great place to stop if you are in the area. Outside seating is nice. I love the vegetarian options with Impossible, there is a salad and sub for any burger. I got the impossible burger with side cesar, hubby got wagu burger with bacon. Sauce on burgers so good. Fries are skinny seasoned fries but lots of side options. read more

We love the downtown Finney's, but todays experience at the Marketplace Finney's was not very good. We ordered the arugula, pepperoni, hot honey pizza and a side salad. While the pizza/ flatbread was ok, the lettuce in the salad had black spots, slime , and was inedible. Also the tables inside was very " sticky" despite a second wipe. Thinking it was perhaps a degradation of the top coat on the table, but everything stuck to the table and it was extremely sticky from our first sit down, and not a result of the hot honey on the pizza which arrived later. We've enjoyed the downtown location and never had a bad experience, but this lunch was pretty bad. Felt dirty. read more

Finney's is the place to go. Although, the Peggy's Chicken Sandwich was burnt and difficult to eat because of how dry it was. Unfortunately, did take out, and wasted a few bucks. read more

We had a party of 12 at Finney's today, and unfortunately, the service was extremely disappointing. Our food came out in small batches, with 3-4 dishes arriving first, another couple about 15 minutes later, and the rest of the table still waiting 30 minutes or more after the first meals had arrived. By the time everyone received their food, half the table had already finished eating. Some of us had to take our meals to go, and I didn't even get to eat mine at the restaurant. When we asked what was happening, both the waiter and manager explained that the kitchen only allows them to enter six orders at a time. That explanation made little sense given the 30+ minute delay between the first and second half of our table's orders. A party of 12 should not have to eat in separate shifts because of the restaurant's ordering system. Overall, this was incredibly frustrating and unacceptable service, especially for a group dining together. They were not apologetic or helpful. I have worked in service and would have never treated a group this way. Unfortunately, none of us plan to return. read more

Mid food, slightly cheaper than chilis and only marginally better. Food used to be great but it's gone down since. Ordered the nachos... they arrived cold and cheese congealed and not even fully melted. Waiter no where to be seen for 20 or so minutes. I ordered a dirty Diet Coke, previously it came with free refills but this time apparently not... $5 is insane for a dirty soda given the size. We also ordered the fajitas - they were basically on ozempic and the tinniest saddest fajitas I've ever seen read more

We took a cliff top hike along the beaches of Goleta on Wednesday, followed by lunch at this spot. Plenty of parking and indoor/outdoor seating. Friendly attentive staff. Upscale sports bar vibe with multiple TV screens but at least the volume was turned off. Music also audible but not overwhelming. Lots of natural lighting due to large windows. We ordered the chicken sandwich, poke bowl and Asian chicken salad, as well as truffle fries to share. Generous portions. Everything tasted fresh. Overall a satisfying meal! read more

I honestly hate posting negative reviews. But I was bummed. Disappointing visit. The grilled cheese was burned (not just "toasted"), and the ahi in the salad was chewy with tendons. I politely raised the issue, but the manager brushed it off. No one checked on us during the meal -- a simple fix that could've made a big difference. Unfortunate, especially after a better experience last time. read more

Came here for a work group end of the year party. We had 7 people and our wait was about 15 minutes at 6pm on a rainy Thursday night. It's a great location in the shopping center and plenty of parking out front. The decor and ambiance is a nice open floor plan with that brewery touch. It was very clean and nice and warm inside on the cold fall night. We got the cheesesteak appetizer which was DELICIOUS and coconut shrimp. The group ordered tacos, wings and some different burgers. I got the Norwegian salmon sandwich with a side of sweet potato fries. The salmon was perfectly cooked and delicious. I like the bread they use and the tomatoes have some tasty seasoning on them. There wasn't a lot of arugula but a perfect amount of sauce as to not overwhelm the salmon. It wasn't a super packed or fancy sandwich but very good. The sweet potato fries were on the thin side but good and a nice amount. The potato chips that come standard with the meal are DELICIOUS! We got some churros to go. They didn't seem very fresh, but good none the less, but probably not worth the order over the brownie Sunday which looked much better and fresh! Overall I really like this menu. It's diverse and there are multiple things I wanted to order. read more

Finney's Crafthouse at Goleta always has a HUGE WAITING, so feeling quite intrigued, we reserved a place for ourselves and waited over 45 minutes. [We usually don't do waiting for dining or drinks - feels kinda over the top :-b]. The place surely runs full-as in to the brim, with even the bar being over full. We got ourselves a tiny-mini table for two. Our server was really nice & attentive. The food and drinks were okay, maybe due to the rush. There are not too many vegetarian options, however, they have a huge selection of beverages. Can give the place a try the next time you are in Santa Barbara or in Goleta. read more

Goleta needed a Finney's! Such a great addition to the Camino Real Marketplace. We came before lunch and were seated immediately. I love Finney's because you can order a few apps, drinks, and just have a good time. Our server Nicole was so sweet and shared her recommendations with us. We shared the Cheesesteak egg rolls, Brussels, and Steak Taquitos. All were so tasty and came out quick. Drinks were great as well, so great we did a second round. Can't want to come back here again. read more

Not a local. Came out here for a relaxing time, but needed something delicious to fuel my life. Google was good to me today. I searched "cuppy pepperoni" and this location came back. The flatbread pizza was sooooo good .I also ordered chicken strips, just to try a piece, and I have no idea what they season them with....but I loved it! I appreciate the attention to detail. I said well-done to everything and that's what I got. read more

We spent our 4th of July weekend with another family in Goleta, which is where Santa Barbara hides all its big box stores and kid-friendly chain restaurants. We'd been to the Finney's Crafthouse in the Funk Zone before, and this one was recognizably related but felt very different. The Funk Zone location belonged in the Funk Zone, and the Goleta location belonged in Goleta. It was right at home in a giant suburban mall complex with a Chipotle, a Costco, and a CorePower Yoga. One of our friends said it looked like Porter Ranch, and not only did I know exactly which development she was talking about, I now see that it has its own Finney's. We put this Finney's to good use, walking in with a party of nine on a Friday, a Friday that happened to be the 4th of July. We showed up at 6:15 and got seated right away, at a deep booth that fit all four adults and five kids, with limited escape routes for the children. The place was huge, and there were lots of TVs going playing various sports. Service was friendly enough but not especially competent. Our server--who might have been a local teenager on summer break--was inattentive and made several errors. It wasn't a big deal, though, and we did enjoy a relaxing dinner. Finney's has both a robust draft beer list and a kid's menu, a nice combination for families on vacation. I drank a Fig Mountain Hoppy Poppy IPA while my boys drew with crayons and ate their crispy chicken bites and pasta. I got the A5 wagyu burger for my meal, and this was solid, a ribeye patty with pepper jack, bacon, crispy onions, steak sauce, and mustard aioli. I got it with a side of Caesar salad, which was pretty tasty. We were in and out in about an hour and a half. Everyone ate well and no one cried, at least as far as I remember. I wouldn't go out of my way to visit this particular Finney's, but it's there for you if you need an easy place to eat. read more

Finney's is a great spot to stop by and grab some good food and watch some sports on tv! With lots of options to choose from you can't go wrong. We had the chicken sandwich, buffalo wings, pepperoni pizza and bacon cheeseburger, with the pizza and chicken sandwich being the standouts. Service was the only thing that fell a little short, waiting long stretches of time to order drinks and further the food. Whether you're near state street or near the coast in Goleta, either location is a good option for some classic bar food! read more

Finney's is legit. Great brew. Delicious food. Excellent service. Did I say great brew? My fam are big fans of the veggie burger. I like their wings, the crispy chicken sandwich, or the cheesesteak, but I don't think you can go too wrong. The atmosphere is fun and this is a great place to hang out and have a meal. Lots of tv's for all the sporting events too. read more

Had such a good time here today! My friend is moving out of town soon and we needed a good place to catch up. We stayed awhile when it wasn't busy (3pm Saturday) and didn't feel rushed! We had great service from a blonde young woman named Kira, and our hostess was also super nice. Seems like all of the employees here are always working hard to clear the tables for the next party! Also, they greet you as you walk in and say goodbye as you leave. I notice the employees give that great service to all customers that come in. The buffalo cauliflower appetizer was to die for. I prefer this location to the downtown one. read more

Creative but familiar dishes, Everything was super yummy and she staff was great. Ate outside, it was cheerful. Hope to return.

loved finney's in downtown santa barbara, so decided to come with friends to this new location. we ordered different things to try and loved the flavor of everything. the burger was juicy and the fries were crispy with just the right amount of truffle oil. the caesar salad lacked the creaminess to the dressing and the chicken was dry, but the chopped wedge salad was delicious with a variety of toppings. lobster rolls were standard, but the bread made it better. i would stick to the burgers and recommend all of their burgers, they're a tried and true :) service was exceptional and environment is nice per usual. excited to come back ordered: a5 wagyu burger with chopped wedge salad a5 wagyu burger with onion rings truffle fries mini lobster rolls caesar salad with chicken read more

The food is amazing here and mind you I didn't eat at the restaurant it was ordered to be delivered and it still arrived tasting amazing. I would live to eat here again to to see the ambiance but honestly the food was amazing. I had the pizza with hot honey pepperonis and oh my goodness it was amazing. My husband ordered the double smash burger and enjoyed it. He ordered with tater tots and we both ate from there. We received churros with dip, if it didn't arrive for free I would have never ordered them but oh my goodness they were amazing and still arrived warms and soft even eating them after eating our food. I will be coming back. My children loved their plates as well. Eldest had pasta and ate it with a salad and my toddler had the sliders and ate them with berries. So we all ordered different things and everyone enjoyed it. Would recommend! read more

By far the best Finneys location I've had the pleasure to attend. Literally the best service and quality dishes every time I've frequented lately. It truly shows as there is always a waitlist which is a great problem to have. I usually end up sitting at the bar so I have no qualms with the wait but I would recommend adding yourself to waitlist and going for a quick walk while you wait for the notification to come in for larger groups. read more

Goleta finally has a legit happy hour spot, and Finney's HH totally hits the mark. Good drinks, solid food specials, and the vibe is just right for winding down after a long day. I've only been here for happy hour, but it's been great every time. I've tried almost all the HH food, and it's exactly what you'd want from bar food - flavorful, hearty, and perfect with their wide beer selection. The menu doesn't miss, and the prices make it even better. Service is good too. The staff stays busy but are always attentive and make sure you're taken care of, even when it's packed. Seating is spacious, but it does tend to fill up fast. Just shows how much Goleta needed a place like this. Honestly, it's way better than what was here before. If you're looking for a spot to kick back with friends, enjoy good eats, and sample a great beer lineup, this is it. read more
