All of the bartenders and door guys made us feel welcome and enjoyed our rock style of music. We love it there and BlackHeart thanks them and will hopefully be back in house soon! Thanks guys!

“Came in for a drink and to check out the area since we are new to the area. The place was kind of small and majority of the people inside were older. The tables had all the dirty cups on there and were still there when we were leaving. We ordered double shots of tequila and a few micheladas. We saw people eating McDonalds in there. They have darts to play and the music was nice,“

“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!“

“Our Thanksgiving dinner at the Safari Room was a truly memorable experience. From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere transported us to a nostalgic, old-school setting that felt warm, inviting, and full of character. The décor carries a classic charm that adds a sense of history and tradition to the dining experience—perfect for a holiday meal with family.

For my entrée, I ordered the pork chops, and they were exceptional—perfectly cooked, tender, and full of flavor. My family chose the Thanksgiving special, complete with turkey, gravy, pie, and all the traditional sides. Everything was prepared with great care, well-seasoned, and pleasantly portioned. It was the kind of meal that reminds you why this holiday matters: simple, comforting food served with pride.

The bar is another highlight. They offer a wide selection of cocktails, and the two I tried were both excellent—balanced, creative, and made with quality ingredients. Whether you’re a cocktail lover or just curious to explore, the bar alone is worth the visit.

If there is room for improvement, it would simply be to continue enhancing the service pace during busier moments, as the quality of the food and ambiance deserves a dining experience that is consistently smooth from start to finish.

Overall, the Safari Room is a wonderful place to celebrate a special occasion or enjoy a classic dinner with loved ones. With its nostalgic atmosphere, flavorful dishes, and impressive cocktail selection, it is absolutely worth a visit. I look forward to returning.“

“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!“

“The sushi was incredible from start to finish. Each piece tasted fresh and beautifully prepared, with the fish melting in the mouth and the rice perfectly seasoned. The presentation was elegant, and the attention to detail showed real craftsmanship. The flavors were balanced—light, clean, and satisfying without being heavy. Service was friendly and timely, making the whole experience even more enjoyable. Overall, a fantastic spot for anyone who appreciates quality sushi.will highly recommend it....“
