    Stopped in one afternoon while in the area for some lunch. Such a cool concept and worthy mission. Walk up counter service, place your order, pay and get your number, they bring you your food when its ready. 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

    Grilled chicken sandwich.

    Kyle's Kitchen in Goleta is a popular, fast-casual spot known for high-quality burgers, fresh salads, and crispy fries in a friendly, community-focused setting. 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 standout feature is the restaurant's commitment to giving back. A portion of every sale is donated to local charities supporting people with special needs, a mission inspired by the owners' son, Kyle.

    Kyle's Kitchen is so good !! These are the best Nashville Hot fried chicken sliders I've ever had that hot sauce was so flavorful WOW, the chimichuri fries were good packed with flavor and super cheesy, but the regular fries were my fav. and THE CRACK BREAD with whipped cream ... omgggg freshly baked brioche buns rolled with cinnamon and sugar inside.. ill be back same day for more of that !! *Some of the profits they make also go to help charities so this spot is super impactful as it is Delicious, it's a must try!

    Amazing friendly efficient service. Basically great place for burgers, salads, and chicken sandwiches. But did I mention they also have ice cream cones and milkshakes at a fabulous prices. A nice casual place to fuel up when hungry, meet friends, or bring the whole family.

    Went here while on vacation in Santa Barbara for a quick lunch and it was so good! Really amazing story for starting the restaurant and I really enjoyed the chicken sandwich I ordered. Would definitely go again next time we are there.

    Tomato soup, SEARED AHI tuna salad and the grilled chicken club burger with fire fries

    The food and the service is consistently excellent. The quality and freshness of the ingredients are excellent. I additionally love the jalapeño ranch with everything and the lemonade is delicious. I recommend trying the firefighter burger, the seared ahi tuna salad and the fire fries in that order.

    Happy Hour menu: 3-5pm everyday and all day on Saturday!

I got the 5 piece platter for around $25 but EASILY enough to share with 2 people or just have leftovers and felt it was worth the price tag. Everything came out super fresh and hot which is always appreciated. Tenders were very good size, very crunchy and cooked well. The fries were great, and both the mac/slaw were solid as well. Staff was polite and helpful on answering any questions. Location inside is on the smaller side but does have some seating. Might be better off just taking to-go during rush hour though. Parking for the location is awful though because of where it's at so you might have to walk a bit and find street parking somewhere. Overall a really solid spot and I'd definitely return to try one of the sandwiches and the banana pudding next time for suuure!

Got their sandwich combo - a fat chicken finger with lettuce and sauce in a bun - and it was fire. 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.

    I came here with the family to try the chicken and ended up staying for the ice cream. There were a…read moresurprising number of people in the shop for. A late Sunday evening (~7:30) but then I realized most people were coming for the ice cream at that point. The two people (looked like HS kids) they had working there were just kind of doing everything, and because there were folks ordering both chicken and ice cream it was ALOT for them to do. A third person would have made things go WAY smoother as they could have had one person dedicated to register and a second on ice cream and a third on chicken. As it was the two kids kind of bounced around between doing all three of those and it just seemed really inefficient. I will say the most overwhelming positive thing is these two were HUSTLING! Throughout the grind they still managed to be friendly and helpful. Those kids deserve a raise, although maybe another co-worker or some efficiency training would help too! Despite everyone either getting a combo it seemed like each meal was prepared separately and individually, like each orders chicken and fries were made then the next meals chicken and fries were made. I'm surprised they didn't do all the fries and chicken at once or at least in two batches for our five meals. The shop is nice, but it's clearly an ice cream shop that serves chicken, not the other way around, the tables are small and it just seems to cater more to a "to-go" style. Ok now the food; this was a struggle. If I could I would have said 3.5 stars but ultimately, for me the food determines which way I round in cases like this, and here it was just ALOT more misses than hits. The one positive was the original strips were tasty and hot. But the mild... WOW, I'm not a spice weenie but that was ALOT of spice. I would have hoped that was hot level at least. The biggest misses for me were the crinkle cut fries. They were just not crispy at all. I think an easy fix would be to double fry them. Also slightly disappointing were the Mac n cheese balls. They were more like disks but the real issue is it was too much cheese and not enough mac. It was like a fried velveeta ball with two small macaroni noodles hidden inside. As a result it had an exceedingly artificial taste. The breast was just a long roll that split. It was meh. Ok for a sandwich (although should toasted) but just not quite right for a meal. We did have ice cream after but I'll put that info on the drip house review. Overall pretty average, but I would say in like 2 months I'd come try again so see if they could solve most of these issues, cause it easily could be 5 stars if they mix these things which are all hopefully easy.

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. The fries are super flavorful unlike any other. The sliders are bomb, the coleslaw hits with their chicken. We got the spice levels of Country and Mild. Country was for me since I can't really handle spice. But trying Mild, it wasn't much spicy either. So I suggest getting anything higher if you want a kick to it. The cheese curds are basically small versions of mozzarella sticks , pretty good and cheese and it comes with a lot! I'd come again to try their spicier flavors.

Upon first bite of my sandwich, there was a hard stone like object which freaked me out. Not sure if it was hardened batter from the breading on the chicken, or a bone, but I found two more. The tender was very thick and girthy, and I prefer more of a filet to fit the size of the sandwich bun. Honey and ranch were both $1 each. The honey was just smuckers in an individual wrapped plastic cup. $1 for that? Ouch.
