From app/Exceptions/Handler.php you can return an http response from render

public function render($request, Exception $e)
{
	// translates 404's 500's into views found in resources/views/errors
	if ($this->isHttpException($e)){
		return $this->renderHttpException($e);
	}

	//if debug mode show some details about the exception that was thrown
	if(config('app.debug')){
		return (new SymfonyDisplayer(true))->createResponse($e);
	}

	//Gen pop gets a static view when their request breaks our site
	return \Response::view('errors.exception');
}

and of course just make that view in resources

Also if you set APP_DEBUG=true in .env then you can see all the error info in the browser

Edit: I went ahead and fixed my own response when i figured this out, code edited to show what I came up with.
