    Fried chicken, KFC original, Hot Fries, Regular Fries
    Aliyah C.

    Firstly, this place is tucked away but you'll know once you've found Jonesy's. I am a college student myself, and I asked some friends to try this spot with me during goletas Burger Week (Feb 19-25). They had a sandwich special so I felt, what better time to visit. We're from LA and we love a chicken sandwich. We ordered a Chicken Sandwich, the wings and their hot fries. There's a good amount of seating here as well as stools and a long table for individuals / quicker eating customers. Service was excellent, they're very nice and welcoming - we had some questions and curiosity and they were more than open to us. There's a table with some hot seasoning, ketchup and napkins and utensils. With that said - skip the Nashville hot fries. Instead grab some ketchup, season it and give it a dip! I find the Nashville hot seasoning to be. A very comfortable mild spice - almost adding flavor instead of heat. I don't find the Nashville hot fries to be all that over the regular ones. The fries however are good themselves. Now, the main Sandwich and Wings... Yeah! YEAH THIS IS IT. man this sandwich was very good and tender and flavorful. it served with some pickled peppers on the side that arent spicy and pickles. It's crispy, it was hot, steaming hot, and oh so good! I will say, My chicken filet fell out, it felt like I had 2 slices of chicken in there. Not in anyway bad but surprising, I figure they threw on an extra piece to cover the bread and actually ensure a full sandwich. Full it was! I think this sandwich was great and even during a special they didn't skimp out. I wish they had meal combos instead of all al a cart. However next time I'd like to treat myself to dinner out I will surely come by here. People come in and out of this spot, many sit in, but it's drawing people in for sure. I hope there are more opportunities for college students to come in and try out this good goleta spot.

    What a wonderful find! A bit off the beaten path, this was well worth our visit driving through the area. Service is incredible, they are so friendly and welcoming here. The restaurant is clean with plenty of seating. Everything on their menu sounds amazing, we tried a variety of it from the wings to the strips, they're solid, sides, all of it was phenomenal! The food was ready quickly, the portion is extremely generous, and the price is very fair. The food had a chef quality to it, especially the salad was so light and flavorful. The chicken was perfectly cooked and the sides and homemade sauces were perfection. This is definitely some of the best fried chicken I've had, I hope to see them around for a long time as I will definitely be back next time I pass through the area again.

    Fire chicken. I personally wouldn't come back because flavor wise the chicken has more of a kick rather than a sweeter side, but I would certainly come back with a friend or my dad to have them try it. Kind service too!

    Mac and cheese, cole slaw, and baked beans

    One of the best fried chicken sandwich that I have had in town in a while! Great space with a good amount of parking. Staff are very welcoming and accommodating! The space had plenty of seating. We ordered the Korean Nashville chicken sandwich, Chicken Parmesan sandwich, Mac and cheese, Cole slaw, baked beans, and banana pudding (not pictured). The Korean Nashville chicken sandwich was super tasty and had a good amount of spice. The chicken was perfectly fried and loved that it had a little asian fusion to it. Was a little thrown off by only one slice of bread being toasted, but it didn't change the overall taste. The chicken parmesan sandwich was on the specials menu, and it did not disappoint! Loved the bread roll it was on, and it was nice that they gave an extra side of marinara to dip. Out of the sides the baked beans were my favorite! Super tasty with bits of bacon. Mac and cheese and cole slaw were both solid. The banana pudding was also amazing! Super fresh and was a generous portion. Will be back!

    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 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.

    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

    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!

    New Fried Chicken joint in Old Town Goleta.
    Mickey A.

    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!

    See all

    Wow. Great service and fantastic food. Had chicken sandwich with some spice and it was off the charts good. Cole slaw was on point as well.
