Nachos had old black avocados.

Excellent service, extremely tasty food, great atmosphere and unique flavors! Definitely will be returning. Wide variety of beer selections with a clear understandable menu. I normally don’t drink beer ever, but the waitress recommended the blood orange to me and it was fabulous and shockingly tasty. Very impressed with my experience here.

I love Finney's and usually is decent service but this last time I went wasn't great let alone good. 3 out of the 5meals ordered took very long and on top of that they were cold when we got them

Kia is the best bartender at this spot. She makes the best golden hour cocktail. Highly recommend.

The four of us really wanted to enjoy this restaurant. Unfortunately the food did not live up to our expectations. My wife's tri-tip sandwich was terribly overcooked and inedible. My Philly cheese steak sandwich was overwhelmed by a horseradish aioli. Both of our friends had salads that they described as mediocre. We did receive a gift card due to my wife's tri-tip sandwich.
The atmosphere is fun with wall to wall TVs for watching sports, with a full bar it can be a good go-to spot.
Unfortunately, we probably won't try it again.

We dined here on a Friday evening, early enough where we were seated promptly.
This is definitely a happening lively popular place, more of a bar menu, burgers, sandwiches, salads, and pizza, accompanied with a great selection of beers and fairly a full bar selection.

I ordered from the appetizer section the Coconut Shrimp and the Brussel Sprouts.
I found the food good but of not a wow moment.
I will patronize this establishment again and try one of their pizzas.

We had such a great experience at Finney’s in Goleta thanks to our server, Matt. From start to finish, he was attentive, friendly, and made sure we had everything we needed without ever feeling rushed. He was knowledgeable about the menu, gave great recommendations, and checked in at just the right times. It really made the meal that much more enjoyable. Service like his is what makes us want to come back again and again. Thank you, Matt, for making our night so great!

The vibes are great. Beer selection is good. The food is mediocre at best.

We ordered the buffalo cauliflower and it was so garlicky it was almost inedible, as well as the brussel sprouts which were burned and dry. We also had the burger which was served well-done when we asked for medium-rare. It tasted fine, but executing a good burger at a bar food spot should be basic.

Really want to love it, but the food (and for the price), is super disappointing.

They take care of the big money tables and if you are there with fewer than 6 people or if you are at the bar the service is terrible. It is just one of the only places around...

Edited: Upgraded stars for food, that's solid. Again this spot is better when it is slow and not as an individual.

Really great menu with something for everyone. Service is super friendly and they check back with you lots to refill water, check on your food and experience. Out go to menu items are the tacos, lettuce wraps, any sandwich (you can't go wrong) and the patio. Love the cool heat lamps!

Could have been better. The table smelled like dirty rag and ceiling kept dripping water on my head even after moving the table. Service was ok, I filled my own water glass 3 times. It was busy and I understand. The food was OK at best. The double smash burger was small. I dont know if I will go back.

I see a lot of bad reviews for this place but I've been here 6-7 times and everytime I try a new menu item or drink it's great. Only gripe is when I got the wagyu burger last time it was well done when I asked for medium rare but I let my server know and they gave us free nachos. Tuna crispy rice, brussel sprouts and guava marg are all excellent

I haven’t been to this one but the one by the beach is good but the service is bad there I gave my phone number to be called when a table was ready and I knew the girl didn’t get my number right and waited forever then she comes and walks to us and says she guesses she didn’t get my number correct after all I asked her too if she wanted me to repeat it and she said no she got it, also my burger and fries were cold the one time I tried the burger and fries, their pizza is surprisingly amazing very good it doesn’t look good in the picture but it is
