Finney’s Crafthouse and Kitchen is a family owned business. The first Finney’s was established in 2016 by Greg FineFrock. His last name is pronounced as ‘FinneyFrock’ which is where the restaurant got its name from. With so many different food options to choose from, this is the perfect place for families to visit! The restaurant has been in the FineFrock family for 7 years now.
The first location is located in Westlake Village. FineFrock has had a lot of experience in the food business in the past 20 years. He began as a Dominos delivery driver, and after college decided to join the Baja Fresh family. He then became involved with Counter Burger. After all that experience, he was ready to start a franchise of his own.
There are many popular dishes on the Finney’s menu. The most popular items include; Buffalo Cauliflower, Carnitas Nachos, Crispy Coconut Shrimp, Gary’s Pepperoni Pizza, Prosciutto and Arugula Pizza, Yuzu Buffalo Wings, Kalua Pork Carnitas, Peggy’s Crispy Chicken Sandwich, Jalapeno Egg Burger, and Bison Burger. These are frequently ordered and enjoyed items, but there is also so much to still choose from. Finney’s has various food options from shareable appetizers, entree salads, and specialty tacos, to flatbread pizzas, hot wings, gourmet sandwiches and signature burgers.
A lot of reviews and opinions are very positive. For example, when asking Saugus student Kaleia Kukahiko she said “I love the Santa Barbara location because it’s by the beach and I love the nachos”. However, when asking Saugus student Cole Ferdman he said “I’ve been to Finneys a few times and I don’t think it is that good”. Personally, I love Finney’s. I have been to the Porter Ranch location and the Ventura location and I love both. My favorite thing on the menu is the Carnitas nachos. All locations have the same menu options. The Porter Ranch location is popular due to it being right next to an AMC movie theater, making it perfect for date nights or just nights out with your friends. Finney’s is actually opening a location in Santa Clarita, more specifically Stevensons Ranch. WhatsupScv said on instagram that it’s supposed to open sometime next year. A lot of people in Santa Clarita love going to Finneys but struggle due to the locations being very far. This addition to Santa Clarita’s food spread will make the drive shorter and will definitely always be busy.
Finneys is the perfect place to go if you’re not sure about what you want to eat, because it has so many options. The variety here varies through all types of food from pizza, to nachos, to burgers, to shrimp, and more. The vibe and views of every location are unbeatable and all equally enjoyable. So, the next time you and your family or friends can’t decide on what to eat, give Finney’s a try.
