“My wife and I decided to check out happy hour at Finney’s Crafthouse on Rinaldi in Porter Ranch next to the 118 freeway. We agreed it was the right move for a Friday night date. We ordered a few items from the happy hour menu, including the sliders and the chicken quesadilla. The sliders were just the right size and cooked to perfection. I have no idea why sliders taste so much better than a full burger! The chicken quesadilla was also delicious cheesy, flavorful, and filled with well cooked chicken. I mean, how can you go wrong with a chicken quesadilla? Am I right? The service here is always top-notch, and the servers are really friendly. Just be aware that when they’re busy, wait times can be a bit longer, but that’s to be expected at a popular restaurant serving quality American food. I definitely recommend Finney’s Crafthouse in Porter Ranch if you’re ever in the mood for burgers, beer, or wine while watching a game this is the place for you. The ambiance, to me, feels more like a bar and restaurant where people can come for a family dinner or watch a football or baseball game on the big screens in the bar area. There is plenty of parking since it’s located in a large shopping center, but be aware that during dinner time or on Friday and Saturday nights, it can be tough to find a spot. Eventually, one opens up you just have to be patient. I would 100% recommend this place to anyone looking to enjoy some amazing food, whether from the happy hour menu or the regular menu. I wouldn’t hesitate to come back again.

Thanks, Finney’s Crafthouse!“

“I love going to wholefoods I always find something interesting. The place is huge but in a good way. The prices on most things can be a bit expensive but your paying for organic foods and of great quality. They also have lots of ready made foods and a place to dine in. I look forwards always to shop there.“

“Such a wonderful vegan oasis in the San Fernando Valley! As locals know vegan offerings in the valley are limited compared with the rest of the city. I am so happy that I found this place I will be coming here often! Great food and atmosphere all around!“

“I'm hearing VERY PROMISING reviews about the quality of the waffles here, yes. I'm being told that the waffle quality is near (or surpassing!) the standards required.“

“The artistic name of the bistro matches the artistry and delicious flavors of the cuisine. A threesome: vegetarian, vegan, and carnivore found a multitude of savory options. Our waiter/thesbian: Chris was charming and anticipated our every request. Foreseeing a return.“

“I celebrated Mother’s Day on the 12th of May 2024 at Joey in Woodland Hills. Very friendly atmosphere. Friendly welcoming . We had a very good and friendly service from Kavin. Good food. Nice presentation.“

“Great food and service. Menu includes some delicious options not offered elsewhere. If you haven’t tried the Stand, you should.“

“Thank you so much 😊 🥃🥃🥃🥤🍷🍷“

“Great tasting food! Highly recommended.“

“One of my absolute favorites from home. The best staff ever, amazing food and more. My final meal before moving to Texas was here shared with great friends and family. Flying back next month for the first time since I moved a year ago and ALREADY a meal or two here has been in the group text!“

“Great service @ amazing food!“

“On January 30th our group consisting of about 35 retired cops and guests met at the restaurant for a breakfast meeting. We and were seated in the banquet room and Gail, our server, handled the group cheerfully and efficiently, mostly by herself. She took and delivered all of the orders and deserves credit for her friendly demeanor and keeping her composure while handling this gathering with minimal assistance from the other staff.“

“Excellent food and service.“

“my Go To restaurant always good food good service good time great outside patio“

“Great food, great staff Lucy was my waitress and she was awesome! They served me at 2:30 when they were about to close friendly, fast and great food, try the cinnamon roll French toast“

“Always a wonderful culinary adventure as well as good wines and craft cocktails! The bar staff can be quite creative and always friendly. Plus, the atmosphere is fresh and hip- Industrial yet cozy.“

“Great food, Great outside patio. Counter service is good, once you get your food though best not expect anything else in terms of service. We asked for the heater to be turned on and some ketchup...still waiting. This has been my experience pretty much everytime.“

“I was recommended to Nati’s by a friend. The menu is diverse & serves every craving you have when hungry! I just love Mexican food & these cooks have a gift! There’s a nice mix of Oaxaca & Jalisco in the food! The Nopales breakfast & salsas are excellent! Must try! Definitely coming back for more!!!“

“Great food. Have been coming here for years since they’ve changed names too.“

“Hugo's is our family's ultimate go-to place when we need a place that satisfies everyone of every age and taste. Great salads, burgers, sandwiches, breakfasts, sides. Everything leans towards healthy-ish, so that's a plus. The wait staff has always been consistently professional.“

“I ordered online. My food was ready when I went to pick it up. The staff was nice. I enjoyed my breakfast burrito. It was huge and yummy. It took me two days to finish it. My significant other didn't enjoy his as much. I did have a problem with finding this establishment. Because when I ordered the BAB burritos (the name of the breakfast burrito) I thought that was the name of the place too.🤭 So I was shocked to find out it was the hot dog place.
I noticed it was a shared parking lot. Just a bit confusing.“

“We needed a place to eat dinner late on Friday night and found Henri's. They were closing in 15 minutes but gladly allowed us to sit and order. We didn't want to make it hard for them so we just ordered breakfast for dinner and it was delicious! We are picky in our bacon and hashbrowns and want them cooked very crispy. They were the best we ever had! The next day we came back for breakfast for real and pretty much ordered the same thing. Unfortunately it must have been a different cook. Although it was good and plentiful it was not cooked as nicely as the night before. Definitely NOT a deal breaker cause Henri's is really very good and the staff is exceptionall - both visits. We could tell it is a local favorite and that is always a good sign.“

“Todo estuvo excelente, primera vez que los visitamos y muy rico y limpio...muchas Gracias !.“

“Amazing service, come and see Shelby“

“I absolutely recommend having some drinks and food at the bar. Great people and fast service. My drinks are always delicious and made just right. The bartenders always make excellent recommendations. Robert and Cameron were super helpful tonight!“

“The bar at the Valley Inn is perhaps one of the best kept secrets in LA. Yes, it’s tiny but get there early, secure your seat and you’re in for a ride of the greatest cocktails served up by a ladies and gentlemen’s gentleman - the maker with the shaker, Bill. Seriously, make a friend of this guy and then introduce him and the bar to your favorite people - only your favorite people! The food in the restaurant is great but a tad expensive but the bar will become your new happy place. Bravo“

“chicken and waffles 🫶💯🍗🥞☕“

“This place feels seedy from the outside and dated and unwelcoming when you step in. Don’t let that fool or stop you. Once you’re in and seated you realize most everyone is a regular, and the staff is warm and welcoming. And the food is seriously stellar. I had the Bullet (their original recipe since 1954), my girlfriend the Huevos Rancheros. You can taste the time and care that goes into making everything from scratch. I don’t usually go places more than once but look forward to becoming a regular here and trying more on the menu.“

“Ryan gave my party of five the best menu overview and food recommendations we’ve ever experienced. We arrived just as happy hour was starting and were pleasantly surprised to find that the happy hour portions were just as generous as the regular appetizers. Everything we tried was excellent, and the coconut shrimp was hands-down the best I’ve ever had.

Our waitress, Brook, was fantastic—so attentive and friendly. Honestly, every member of the staff was welcoming and accommodating, which made the entire experience even better.

We will definitely be back. Thank you to everyone at Finney’s Crafthouse for such a wonderful dining experience!“

“Great place to network! Perfect local Go to place after work or meet new business links and more.“

“Friendly bartenders & awesome food! 🍔“

“Went today for my Birthday Breakfast with my Sisters. Huevos Rancheros was amazing especially the black beans. Spinach, Ham Mushroom omelet was delicious especially with the Hot sauce. Look forward to returning. Service was with a smile.“

“This place is top notch 👌
The dressing has a great taste and the burger itself has a very flavorful texture. I got the double with loaded fries and let me tell you, best fries I’ve ever had, their loaded fries come with cheese and grilled onions which are phenomenally delicious. I highly recommend this spot“

“Delicious 🤤 food. Highly recommend“

“Just went tonight. The smash burgers are to die for. The staff is the best! Will definitely be back! 💖“

“Delicious burgers and friendly staff.“

“Came here after seeing an Instagram post featuring the skillet burger with all that perfectly melted cheese, and I had to try it. Honestly, so glad I did. This was my first time at Applebee’s and I was pleasantly surprised — the food was great and totally hit the spot.

Shoutout to my server, Savan, who was amazing from start to finish. She gave great recommendations and even let me know they offer happy hour all evening when football is on (which is dangerous information in the best way)

Great food, great service, and a fun atmosphere. I’ll definitely be back.“

“The perfect BLT. The perfect neighborhood cafe 💙“

“the Island bowls are so fresh and healthy. Its good with hoison sauce. Tiki tai good also“

“never had a bad meal here, I always recommend to all my friends and family“

“Retro 50’s diner with juke boxes in the booths and on the counter. The food is good but pricy.“

“Phenomenal school. In this rare case, you don’t get what you pay for. Better professors than IVY league schools for 1% of the tuition. Valencia campus much bigger than Canyon Country. Great services such as mental health services. Library and TLC are good. Skilled football team. Great school, thank you for making Santa Clarita even better.“

“Amazing Breakfast, I highly recommend.“

“Hope you’re hungry, because this stand serves absolutely massive baked potatoes slathered in just about anything you want. We had the waygu on one and garlic butter shrimp on the other. Add in a mound of feeeexins (iykyk) and you’ll eat for days. Apparently they’re opening a permanent spot in North Hollywood soon. I’ll be there.“

“Un lugar agradable comida deliciosa y un buen servicio“

“We didn't know there was an event at the Marriott. Very noisy and many people walking through the restaurant. It would have been helpful to know in advance when I booked on line that there was a major event at that location. Other than that, it was good“
