Cheesy pig burger, buffalo chicken sandwich, ahi salad, and sliders (avo smash and cheeseburger) with a free cookie! Everything was delicious! The burgers were juicy and perfectly cooked. The small tuna salad was enough to fill up a grown man. The brioche bread was also so soft and fresh. We're so happy to have discover Ed this place and we'll be back again!

Got my drink and number, and went and grabbed a table. It was relaxed and fairly quiet on my visit. Ordered the Ahi tuna bowl with fries and a roll. A nice serving of seared tuna with avocado, mixed lettuce greens, chips strips and sesame seeds. A fresh, healthy meal that hit the spot. A solid choice for me. Friendly and kind staff, a worthwhile mission and good food. 4 Stars a solid choice for a meal 01179

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.

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. Their steak/carne asada in their burrito is also so good. I reminds me of the carne asada I would eat during a party at my Tia's house so having it whenever I have the cravings really helps! 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.

I recently returned and got exactly what I used to get and was disappointed in the lack of seasoning/flavor in general. I saw someone else comment that chipotle has more flavor and I'm inclined to agree-especially when it comes to the chicken. Service is always friendly and fast and I always want to support a local business over a national chain, but I'm sad to say I don't know if I'll be returning after spending $25 for a bland experience.
