What really makes it worth going to, though, is the convenience and the service. The staff is always friendly and on top of things, which goes a long way. It's also right next to their sister sports bar, Rounding Third, which makes it an easy spot to grab food before or after a drink. The whole setup just works. I'm a fan and will definitely be coming back.

It is clean, with a contemporary atmosphere, indoor/outdoor seating, and thoughtful service. It's ideal for a quick, quality lunch or family dinner with a local, "neighbors" vibe.

A portion of every sale is donated to local charities supporting people with special needs, a mission inspired by the owners' son, Kyle.

I ordered the B.L.T.A. to go and it was honestly the worst sandwich I have ever paid for…read more Not only did it look nothing like the picture, the quality of ingredients was extremely disappointing across the board: - Stale, basic white store bought sandwich bread (think Wonder Bread) - Pre-shredded, store-bought lettuce - Two slices of tomato total -- one per half (and they were completely different sizes) - Less than half of an avocado for the entire sandwich - Plain mayonnaise, not the "Tabasco mayo" advertised - Cheap, fatty bacon that tasted like low-end grocery store brand Did the cook have to stop at the grocery store on their way to work today? On top of that, the ingredients were distributed completely unevenly between the two halves. I literally had to take both halves apart and redistribute everything myself just to make it edible. Nothing about this felt fresh. I also swapped the "house-made chips" for tater tots -- which turned out to be the exact Ore-Ida frozen tots you buy at the grocery store, and even worse... they were undercooked and mushy. I am willing to bet I just paid $16 for about $2.50 worth of ingredients. For $16, this was not just underwhelming -- it was bad, REAL BAD. Do NOT order this sandwich.

Disappointing experience at a place we've loved for years. My partner and I have been regulars at…read moreTimbers Roadhouse for years, stopping by 4-5 times annually whenever we pass through Goleta. This visit was unfortunately our worst experience there by far. It was the first time we'd sat in the dining room instead of the bar. It was early - around 5:00. The happy hour buffalo chicken sliders and Brussels sprouts were good. However, things went downhill with our entrees. My tri-tip dinner (ordered medium rare) arrived as two thin slices of medium rare covering three slices of gray, well-done meat underneath. It was tough and tasted old - it seemed like the kitchen was trying to hide poor quality, overcooked meat. My partner's ribeye was cooked to the right temperature but extremely gristly - only about half of the twelve ounces was actually edible. When I sent my tri-tip back, our server (who was genuinely trying to help) returned to say they were out of tri-tip and a new one would take 45 minutes. By then my partner was halfway through his steak. I asked to just have the meat removed and I'd just eat my sides. Here's where it went from bad to worse: the manager (owner's daughter) charged us $7 each for the sides as "à la carte" items and argued when I explained I only ate them because that's all I had. She eventually offered 50% off the entrée but her confrontational attitude made things worse. The owner was more understanding when we escalated it to her, but the damage was done. Our server did her best in a tough situation - the issues were with the kitchen and management's handling of the problem. Really heartbroken about this experience at a place we've loved. We'll probably try again someday but will stick to burgers and salads at the bar.

The fries were definitely the star of the show and I could eat them all day. Steak fries are hard to find unless you're eating at a steakhouse so having these so readily available.

I'm looking forward to having more fries and more steak!

I don't live in Santa Barbara so I only get to Kyle's when I'm in town (3-4 times a year). And this is always my go-to spot. The experience today was amazing in terms of the food. My Mountain Climber was perfect! I'm boring and usually this is the only one I get, but that's because of how good it is. I feel like their patties have gotten bigger since I was last here. No complaints about the service, and no complaints about the ambiance. I always love sitting in the booth and playing the quiz game that's on the surrounding monitors. One thing to note is that if you're ordering on the app, it doesn't seem to always include the seasonal specials. When I arrived at the store (after ordering online) there were some in-house specials that looked particular interesting that I'd have been interested in. All in all, this is a wonderful place that comes with a wonderful story.
