    Amazing! And they are started a prepared meats program for meal planning. Tri tip, sirloin, chicken thighs as well as sauces and rubs a la carte!

    JFC Original with Hot Fries

    Came here for burger week and their fried chicken burger did not disappoint. The breading was light and crispy and the chicken itself was not dry at all. I also tried the chocolate chip macadamia coconut cookie which was delicious and not too sweet

    JFC Original Chicken Sandwich
    Alyssa A.

    Love a good fried chicken sandwich and will always drive for good food. Had no idea this little restaurant was even here, so it was exciting to hear about their delicious chicken! They actually have a pretty big menu (and I am definitely excited to come back and try more of it). Ordered a JFC Original Chicken Sandwich and ... I was not prepared for how large the piece of chicken was going to be! This thing was massive and so freakin' tasty. The sandwich was a whole was so much larger than I expected it to be, and that JFC sauce complimented it all perfectly. Such a satisfying sandwich. Had to add on some of their Nashville Hot Fries. While they weren't as hot as I was expecting, the spice was still so delicious. There was no way I could finish them all! Looks like it's in what used to be an old motel. Parking lot inside is small, but we had no issue finding parking. Super reasonable prices, especially for the size of the sandwiches. Will definitely return when craving a chicken sandwich.

    First time eating here. The fried chicken was crispy, juicy, and very flavorful. The service was great! So kind and friendly! Can't wait to come back and try the chicken and waffles!

    Now in the heart of Old Town Goleta, and a couple doors down from Pepe's Mexican Restaurant, this is the perfect place for delicious fried chicken. We've been ordering up their shared plates of Buttermilk Fried Wings and the Buffalo Wings. And paired nicely with their biscuits, Slab Bacon Baked Beans, 4-cheese Mac 'n Cheese, Buttermilk Slaw, and Shoestring Fries, this makes us all so happy. It's been nice to order and pick up to take home, but they do have a comfortable seating area for everyone. Nice friendly staff, and have never had to wait to long to pick up an order. And still so much on their menu to try. Next up I have been hearing a lot about the Fried Chicken Sandwich and also the Chicken & Waffles. And don't forget to check out their cold case for their selection of pickles. We try a new one each time and they are delicious.

    A solid 3.7 in my book. Wish we could give half ratings! Jonesy's Fried Chicken is a fresh spot in Goleta offering tasty chicken and fun sides! My boyfriend and I recently visited here craving some spicy fried chicken, and this restaurant delivered exactly that. The shop is in an unexpected location. Driving here we were like "are we going to a business or what?". You pull into a parking lot with 3 other businesses, and Jonesy's is right there. Not in your typical strip mall or anything. A surprise! The inside itself is cute and quaint. Nothing over the top and seats a few parties of people. We went around 4 pm, so it was not that busy. Only one other group, and then we ended up being the only folks inside. The staff were nice and very accommodating, which is a plus! We ordered the Korean hot chicken sandwich, Georgia peach sandwich, Nashville fries, and an order of Mac and cheese. The sandwiches come al a carte, which was a bummer. We spent $48 on this meal, which was steep. This immediately knocked our ratings down sadly. Korean Chicken Sandwich - Very good! My favorite item of the meal! The chicken was crispy and juicy, and the sauces and fixings were really good too. The chicken was a bit thin, which was unfortunate. ALSO A HEADS UP: if you have the gene where cilantro tastes like soap, either skip this or say not cilantro because it has a lot of it!! I love the choice of bread they used for this. A tip from me is to pour the brine from the green tomato's (or tomatillos? We were unsure!) onto your sandwich! Adds acidity and balanced it even better. Georgia Peach - Pretty good! Size was a bit disappointing for $17 JUST FOR THE SANDWICH. Biscuit was light and crisp with a fluffy interior. The peaches were interested. Was expecting them to be fresh or lightly macerated/cooked, but they tasted jarred. There was a hot honey sauce on here that was pretty good too! Mac and Cheese - Very cheesy! Good flavor, tastes like sharp white cheddar, maybe fontina, maybe Parmesan? It was a 4 cheese Mac and they made that very clear. Downside is that it comes with bread crumbs on top. Our preference would've been for this dish to be baked in a tray with cheese on top, and then scooped out for each serving. Nashville Fries - These came out entirely cold, which was a bummer. The fries were soggy and didn't hit anything out of the park. Got the job done. Just wish it was fresh since that is expected overall. Overall, this place is pretty good. Is the price of each sandwich worth it in our opinions? No. We wish the sandwiches were actual meals with a drink and a small fry. Paying $16-18 for just a sandwich is wrong. $16-18 for a meal however, is not! We totally want to come back to try some regular chicken, since those deals seem more worth it. Not a bad place, but not entirely worth our money!

    JFC sandwich with shoestring fries
    Adanari Z.

    I don't know what sorcery Jonesy's is using to get their fried chicken to be so crispy on the outside yet juicy on the inside but I. AM. HERE. FOR. IT! This is my second visit to Jonesy's and loved it just as much as my first visit. This visit I got to try the Georgia peach sandwich and holy moly, that is delicious! Their huge and flavorful fried chicken fillet with hot honey and peaches on a delectable biscuit. Wow! It was such a star of a sandwich. I've had their Korean Nashville hot and that was a standout too. So unique and great taste. I love Jonesy's pickles; perfect crunch and flavor. Their lemonade tasted a bit on the older side but still drinkable. I'm sure it's great when fresh. Their staff has been so great every time. Friendly and attentive. Parking is a bit tricky but there's options around the restaurant. Don't let the tire shops and surrounding area of the restaurant fool you. Jonesy's is a must when in the area....or even when you're not. Worth the drive if not local!

    Nashville hot fries
    Shelby S.

    Recently got to try this spot and it was delicious! The buffalo chicken wrap is so yummy. It's got a great amount of sauce and it's full of flavor. I opted for a side of Nashville Hot Fries and it was A LOT. I definitely recommend sharing. The serving is generous. I love the Nashville seasoning adding some heat. The service is great and parking was so easy right in front of the restaurant. Jonesy's is a hidden gem that I'm glad to have discovered!

    JFC + pickles and peppers
    Daniela A.

    The JFC was amazing! Jonesy's has truly perfected the art of fried chicken! The sandwich was the perfect balance of crunchy & soft + savory & spice! The staff here is so kind, they make the experience even better! Will definitely come back and try more menu items!

    Chicken wings
    Kay C.

    Unfortunately I did not have a great experience at this restaurant. I ordered the chicken wings that came with a pickle and toast. I always have a habit of breaking chicken apart and I'm happy that I did. As seen in the attached photos, the wings weren't properly cooked and had blood! I was so upset, by the time I saw this, the restaurant was already closed so there was nothing that I can do. Between this and standing at the counter for more than 5 minutes without being acknowledged, I don't plan on returning.

    3&2 with buttermilk slaw and THE BEST BAKED BEANS I'VE EVER HAD! Plus fries, sauce, mini biscuit, and fried mac & cheese ball.
    Pamela F.

    I was lucky enough to be part of a big online group order with friends when I was recently visiting Goleta. Didn't go into the restaurant so I can't say much about that, but their service and food is AMAZING! I gave them a courtesy call to provide early warning that a big online order was heading their way later that afternoon. The gent I spoke with was helpful and seemed appreciative of the heads up. Oh. My. Goodness! We were all so giddy as we unpacked bag after bag of grub. All well marked so we knew which order was whose and such. (Except for the sauces, which could have been slightly helpful but they're pretty straightforward.) We seemingly ordered nearly everything on the menu besides the entree salads. Reports of the Korean Nashville hot sandwich with kimchi aioli were most excellent. The half-dozen mini biscuits with honey-cayenne butter and preserves were terrific. The crunchy fried mac and cheese balls were killer. Even their pickles, pickled peppers and Texas toast were delicious! I opted for the Three & Two - three chicken tenders & two sides - with buttermilk slaw and the most incredible bacon baked beans. Seriously, people. I instantly proclaimed that these were the best baked beans I've ever had in my life! Which immediately drew disbelief from my friends. And I get that. It's a big claim. But I eventually shared bites with those interested and there was agreement that these beans were absolutely incredible! 20 thumbs up from our gang! Can't wait to return to Goleta just to go back to Jonesy's!

    Finally made it to Jonesy's and so glad that we did! Please keep in mind that they are brand new and the wait can be long, but it's worth it! We got the Three & Two along with the JFC Chicken. The chicken alone was worth the wait! It was tender, juicy, crispy, and flavorful!!! So so good! The portions were generous and we were satisfied with every bite. Highly recommend these options! The only things that we did not enjoy too much were the Hot Honey side sauce and the Banana Foster pudding. Tons of whipped cream, barely any pudding. I know as they find their footing and gather feedback, I would love to give it a second try. But for a grand opening, we were very impressed! Can't wait to come back and meet the owner!

    I have to say. The fried chicken was different but need to perfect Californian tastes Buds. I tried this place on the way back from Santa Barbara and the review was decent. When I was there I notice most of the customers are friend and neighbor that are trying to support his business which is cool. But been eating Fry chicken all over USA and the world. Most successful restaurant need to modify their food to cater the local first before venture out to the original taste. Still good just need for adjusting. Here is my scoring card for this restaurant: 1) Location: ( 3 Point ) - Great location for customer to see and find. Not a good parking . Only few parking space in parking lot, and for street parking is also limited 2) Decoration : (4 Point) - They still have the original decoration. Clean and still fairly new. 3) Price: ( 4 point)- The price is competitive but still a little bit pricey compare to other same stars and type food they serve 4) Quality and Taste : ( 3 point)- The quality is ok, food taste is good and portions are above average. 5) Type of cuisine standard : ( 4 point) - The style of American fry food they serve is pretty close to the way it was prepare in east/ mid east coast. Not bad! But some dishes still needed modify to cater the customer's need Overall it's not bad and I thinks it's great to give it a try and let me know what you think. Go foodies Total max is 25 Score 18 Stars = 72% round up to 3 stars

I can't do spicy, so I got their lemon pepper chicken - the chicken was so juicy and flavorful, and that lemon pepper was tasty. LOVED the pink sauce - great for both the sandwich AND for the fries. Honestly would've loved some mac & cheese with the chicken. I know they have mac & cheese balls, but some mac and cheese to put in with the sandwich? That would be delicious. Delicious fries. Crispy and well-salted. We were going to order some ice cream after, but I was so full from the chicken that it didn't happen. But next time we come, ice cream is a must-try. Loved the decor here - super cute with the ice cream theme. Staff were so friendly! Highly recommend stopping by for some delicious chicken.

Walking to order food, the decor and outside is so cute. I love the art and it's just a little hidden gem basically. We got the cheese curds and the combo of 2 Sandos and Fries.

I ordered The Original Fried Chicken and Waffle sandwich since the waiter had recommended that was one of their most popular items and made it into a combo (side of tater tots and a soda). My friends ordered the fried chicken salad and the brioche breakfast sandwich. I thought the restaurant concept was cool and uniquely centered around anything fried chicken/waffles and thought it was fun the way the waffle sandwich was presented like a taco. That being said, I initially tried to eat it like a taco but everything quickly fell apart as the waffle wasn't connected at the bottom, so resorted to just eating it like a classic chicken and waffles dish with a fork and knife. I liked the coleslaw, the crispy/lightness of the waffle, and although the food initially looked like it'd be really heavy it surprisingly wasn't and I finished the sandwich pretty quickly. I think my main issue is that there could've been more flavor/moisture to the sandwich, particularly the chicken itself. I did really like the tater tots - they were perfectly crispy, lightly seasoned, and addicting, so it was the highlight of the meal. I also tried my sister's brioche breakfast sandwich and felt that there was nothing really special to it and found it to be lacking a bit in flavor / dry. Overall, I thought the sandwich/fried chicken could've been more juicy and flavorful e.g., by adding some sauce/marinade to the sandwiches/chicken and avoiding overcooking/frying the chicken.
