Needed to feed my family before heading to Trader Joe's and this is right next door. What a delicious surprise! 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! read more

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 read more

I love coming to this spot whenever I need a my chicken cravings satisfied. Their chicken sandwich, popcorn chicken and lunch deals are fantastic! My go-to is their spicy chicken sandwich with their fries and a drink is a great choice. The fries are so addictive and well seasoned. Make sure to get their ranch! You won't be disappointed! read more

Been coming here for years and we love Kyles! Especially their burgers. Firefighter and Cheesy pig are some of my favorites! Great flavor and plenty of sauce! I enjoy some of their salads as well. This last time I ordered a chicken thai peanut one. It tasted good, only complaint I have is the dressing was pretty light. Couldn't taste it much. I ordered more dressing cause of this. Overall Kyle's is a great restaurant and definitely recommend! read more

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! read more

While my chicken sandwich was absolutely boring (complete lack of seasoning), mom's lox platter was great. The portions were ample and the service was excellent. I would certainly give it a second chance. Atmosphere was ok, the place was huge with outside seating. read more

I had a klassic Kyle burger. It was dry and tasteless. The pictures look great but the actual product is pretty terrible

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. read more

This Goleta/Calle Real location has a very comfy cozy feel. Delicious burgers and salads, and my favorite Captain Fatty's Beach Beer on tap. People of all ages here, and all happy as they order up from Kyle's. Thanks Vincent and the hardest working crew in Goleta. read more

We've gone to Kyle's Kitchen in Hollister several times, but the location is now closed so we ended up at the Goleta store. What a mistake!. The food is good at Kyles . When I ordered the "match it" I told the person taking our order that I didn't want the drink. He said he'd fix it. So, he gave me a sandwich for menu price and then charged me $5.50 for the fries, adding an additional 50 cents instead of just skipping the drink. . When we finally got our order, mine was anything but hot. The chicken and bacon were room temperature. I asked to waitress to return it when its hot. She did and brought back another one. Fine. Then my wife had the Thai peanut salad and paid the extra $4.50 for a piece of burnt and tough chicken. She tried to eat it but after eating about halve of it, she returned it. Again, they replaced the chicken with a freshly cook one, albeit just as tough as the first one, but not burnt!. We looked at our receipt and then noticed the person taking our order had somehow added a $4.50 tip!!! I've always struggled with the weird pricing at Kyles but for fast food it's ok. But today was the last straw...Unless the new place in Hollister, opens, with better service than we had, we might give it a second chance, but NOT the Goleta location... I am DONE with Kyles! read more

Great food for the price. Good alternative for In & Out. Would recommend this place if you're traveling and want something to fill your stomach. read more

Stole $18 from me ($10 birthday credit + $8 from prior issue). Went in on a Friday night. Tried to use my $18 credit. Staff member and manager couldn't find it when they went into their system even though it showed up on my app. They had me update the app and sign in again. Still showed $18 credit. They said they couldn't give me the credit then but would investigate after the weekend and figure it out. After a week went by, I messaged them. No response. Messaged again. Crickets. But somehow they got the $18 credit to disappear from my app read more

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. read more

The place is lovely--clean, reasonable prices and fresh food. I had a salad and the rest of the family had burgers that they loved. And as others have said, the mission is worth supporting. read more

Used to get food here regularly: good food and cool concept. Plus I live nearby. Haven't been going for awhile since they stopped making the sandwich I really liked. Got a gift card so went to order online. Didn't finalize the order because my account was apparently gone, I didn't want to set up a new one and couldn't see how to pay w the gift card through the website. I went over and walked up to the counter (there is a self-serve kiosk and I wish I'd used it.) Pretty sure they don't want you to order at the counter lol. Use the kiosk. Food wasn't good like before, they didn't even acknowledge me for about 10 mins then took another 10 to take my order. $.60 "service charge" in addition to tax on my $15 order? plus a $.50 fee because I asked for my choice of dressing with my salad? That was new. Salad was weak and the hot sandwich was ice cold (pre-made? pre-cooked?) Meh, not dying to go back. read more

I got a gift card for Christmas. I went in to redeem it for lunch today and they would not accept it. Now I'm just ticked off. NEVER buy a gift card at Kyle's Kitchen!!!! And, if you want a good burger, go to Mesa Burger or On The Alley. read more

Came in well before the posted 9:00pm closing time. I placed my order and as I waited, staff began turning off lights, clearing tables, and stacking chairs. At 8:17pm, I was told that the store is closing. I ended up eating in my car, which was confusing and uncomfortable since the business was clearly still supposed to be open. If the kitchen or dining room closes earlier than the posted hours, that should be clearly communicated. Food was fine, but the closing process felt rushed and unprofessional. Hours should reflect actual operating times so customers can plan accordingly. read more

Kyle is a good chef. Food is good and fast. Milk shakes are excellent. Will come back. Service great.

Kyle's is a pretty consistent staple in my family. The food is top notch. The burgers feel a little more special than the average chain. It's the brioche bun and the quality ingredients. Favorite menu items are the Mountain Climber burger and the Kickin' Cowboy salad. I like spicy dishes and these do not disappoint. Typically I'll get the Pair It! combo with these two items. Kids meals come with good sized portions and the burgers and chicken strips are pretty classic crowd pleasers. They also come with a little gummy burger-shaped candy which is a nice, considerate touch. Okay, dessert options are pretty great here. My family has come for just the desserts before. The cookies are freshly baked and perfect. But the gem is the ice cream. It's the classic Thrifty Ice Cream (IYKYK)!! The ice cream cookie sandwiches are HUGE! And one time we also got a sundae. We were bringing ice cream and cookies home, they were so big. read more

A road trip with three kids under the age of ten can cause serious anxiety and mental fatigue, especially where dinner is concerned. Enter Kyle's Kitchen. The restaurant is adorned with kids art , and touts in charming chalk type over school grade blackboard its commitment to special needs fundraising and the funds its raised through the years. So the vibes were good all around. Now to the food - wow. My son got a kids burger, my daughter had chicken strips and my other daughter had the grilled cheese and not a crumb was left from each (parents, you realize the impossibility of this, yes?). I got the spicy chicken avocado sandy and my wife got the earth burger, and we split a salad. Everything top notch, from portion size to taste, to presentation. Then came the dessert (see photo). The ice cream sandwich was so big my son could not get a bit in, so I had to separate it into two halves, and then it was devoured in record time. All in all a fantastic dining experience for this parent and wish we had one down here in the South Bay. read more

The BEST sliders I have ever had!!! Eating here made me realize how little attention other places pay to their bread because the bread here is quite outstanding (crispy on the outside but soft and moist on the inside). The sauces they use for the respective slider fillings are amazing and go so well with it. Also, try the chimichurri fries while you're here !! This is a great spot for a quick casual lunch or if you're ever driving through town. Whoever Kyle is knows what's up!! read more

Loved this place for years. Piggy fries were my favorite. They no longer have them. They no longer have me as a happy customer.

This restaurant is located in a strip mall with ample parking. We arrived around 6:30 pm on a Saturday and ordered right away at the counter. The staff was pleasant and it was a casual vibe. I ordered the Ahi Burger which came on a fresh bun and mild wasabi taste. The fish was cooked perfectly and was well worth the price. Definitely recommended! read more

Kyle's Kitchen - THAI PEANUT - Salad Near Me - Goleta, California

The biggest problem is the ordering system which is a total cluster-fudge. It's confusing, wastes time, results in not getting stuff at your table. And the employees at the checkout counter don't help because they're just as confused. Order at the counter and take your number. Don't order at the kiosk when you walkthrough the entrance. The burgers are ok, not bad not great. The sauces are clearly premade by some major industrial corporation. But they're fine. Patty size is a c+. The bun is very good. There's a menu glitch so the only way to get onion stings is to order the combo with fries. They said they're working on it. The burger is better than in and out but for the same Size, kyles is way more expensive. The bun is better but not worth the difference in price. read more

Food is fresh and honest. The service is a bit slow but this is not fine dining for sure. This place is clean and tidy with friendly people. If you want a good meal and a nice atmosphere, Kyle's Kitchen is a great choice when in Santa Barbara/Goleta. read more

Amazing quality food very reasonable portions and the cherry on top for me is how fairly priced it is for amazing food. It's hard to find an affordable quality burger besides in-n-out and this place is the place you want to go to. Another awesome thing is they have happy hour so you can get a cheap ice cream shake to go with your meal. Highly recommend! read more

Kyle's Kitchen never disappoints! Great burgers and sandwiches, and their prices are very fair. I ordered the mountain climber burger that was very tasty and has a yummy jalapeño ranch. The onion strings were nice and crispy too. Also got the spicy krispy chicken sandwich that was very satisfying too. The brioche bun they use is very good and fluffy! I got the half and half with fries and onion rings, and the onion rings are my favorite! I used the BOGO axxess deal which made all of this food under $15! Super worth it! Employees are always nice and inviting. Will be back soon! read more

Great food! Simpsons was on for entertainment. Service=great. Def eat at this place! 15 min service!

We placed a pick-up order about 45 min before closing time. (If you are using Grubhub, they say you can't place an order after 8:30pm. I was trying to place my order at 8:00pm and it was getting rejected so I think it must be a lot earlier than 8:30 for a cut off time). Order was ready in 25 min. I ordered the bacon and egg burger and a side of fries. We had ordered 2 other burgers and a chicken sandwich. Food was delicious. Some of the best fries I have had at a burger place. I love that they grilled the brioche buns for the burgers. Burgers were huge and filling. read more
