Finney's Crafthouse - Laguna Beach

I used to live in Santa Barbara and am a huge fan of Finney’s. Tried Laguna one for the first time.
Service and vibe are very nice but food was bad.
Chicken and waffle taste like precook and coconut shrimp isn’t seasoned. Pizza dough was very dry but taco was excellent.

We loved their place when it opened, but it's obvious that the owner is phoning it in now. You've got to get a handle on management, its really being poorly run. This might fly with tourists, but locals won't put up with it. Please fix it, it's too cool of a place to be run like this.

Some great beer here. Our first time coming. We were just walking around, and decided to stop in. Had the tacos and pizza. The ambiance was great! They had TV 's with the baseball games on, so the atmosphere was electric! Will mos def be returning.

Parking: A definite challenge to find parking space. My only issue.

It's a pretty typical beer bar and grill. The beer selection is pretty good and they do serve flights.

So much good beer on tap, this is the place to go for beers in Laguna. The food is good with plentiful portions that goes well with beer.
The service is usually good. They are always happy to bring you beer samples. But sometimes they are off, and forget about you.
Its kinda loud in a fun way. Great for meeting friends.

I can’t even tell you the looks we gave each other at our table when this smash burger came out on a large plank and it was literally the equivalent of a McDonalds cheeseburger. I don’t think the height was more than an inch and we didn’t take anything out!

I thought, nice! A $10 burger? No sides, that makes sense.. what reasonable prices! But I will tell you, this burger should have been less than $5 for the tiny size it was. Never in my life have I been served a burger like this at a restaurant. Don’t waste your time ordering this, laughable.

My kids ordered the chicken strips and pizza and honestly the only good food was the fries and the ranch. I wouldn’t risk going back.

We had the Nashville chicken sliders and they were fantastic! So much so, we came back the next day for some more. Their beer list is extensive and described in a way that is very helpful in picking a beer that you might like. There are several local taps to pick from. Service is outstanding! Tyler and Kristen were attentive and very helpful.

We have had lunch here twice and both times excellent. We especially enjoyed the Onion Rings (the best). Thank you to both Jade and Victoria.
