I've been going to Kyle's since they opened in 2014. I love their burgers. I love their story behind the restaurant. 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. read more

Kyle's Kitchen - Burgers Near Me - Goleta, California

Stopped by to grab a quick lunch. Loved the menu. Buffalo chicken sandwich and the spicy sandwich were both delicious! Salad was even larger and better than expected. Some of the deals with a classic burger or a chicken sandwich are affordable. Herbs on the fries were subtle but nice. Loved the mix fruit drinks!! I would want to try the half fry and the onion rings next time. Bathroom doors were sticky. One of the soap dispensers was slanted. It still worked and dispensed soap automatically. Service was nice! Kyle was in the restaurant. I love the place filled with love and that serves a good variety of foods and drinks! We don't see this restaurant near where we are but would love to come if we are in the area for sure! read more

You need to drop everything and get to Kyle's Kitchen! They have three locations, so you're never far. Seriously, not only is their fried chicken some of the best I've ever had, but their burgers also look incredible. You get genuinely fresh food, and it arrives swiftly from the kitchen. The specific spot I visited had such a great vibe, with vibrant colors and cool artwork featuring Kyle. Every staff member I encountered was fast, friendly, and incredibly welcoming. And here's the best part: a portion of every sale supports a local charity for people with special needs. As someone with a family member who has diverse abilities, I can't express enough how much I appreciate their commitment to inclusion. You absolutely won't be disappointed! read more

Kyle's Kitchen - Popcorn Chicken Combo - Burgers Near Me - Goleta, California

I went in split on whether I wanted a burger or chicken sandwich. To my delight, they had these big pictures promoting sliders! Sounded like a great idea. So I got a combo with a crispy chicken slider and avocado burger slider. Well, one of the biggest disappointments I've had in a while. They were thin and microscopic, with huge pieces of bread dwarfing its contents. Nothing like the little fat and juicy sliders in the picture... The chicken was the thinnest piece of chicken I've ever seen. Like literally, a chicken McNugget at McDonalds is thicker. And the beef patty, I couldn't even see it on the slider. It was a tiny little medallion that barely took up half the surface area of the piece of bread. The burger tasted chewy and of charcoal, overcooked. Luckily, the meat was only about 2 bites worth anyway... The medallion of meat was so microscopic, so I see how it can be overcooked. The fries were alright. Nicely seasoned, but nothing to get excited about. Honestly, when I purchased the meal it was a little cheaper than I had expected. And when I ordered it, I took that as a bad sign. Seriously, I'd be willing to pay more money for a higher quality product. On the plus side, the place was clean, comfortable, and the staff friendly. So no fault on them... Previously I had another one of their chicken sandwiches. It was alright. Nothing special, but it was decent. Overall, I basically see nothing worth returning to at this place. So I'll just cross this one off my list and will be visiting other establishments in the area instead. read more

I really enjoyed my lunch here today. The employees were so friendly upon walking in, the parking lot was easy and the food we got was delicious! Ample seating indoor and out and fair prices. Loved the fries. We got ice cream sandwiches to go, love that they have that available! I am pretty sure I spotted Kyle there too. What great energy!! Looove! Coming back here! read more

I'm really disappointed with my recent experience. I placed an online pickup order for 12:00pm so it would be ready during my limited lunch hour. I arrived at 12:05, but my order wasn't on the pickup shelf and still hadn't been prepared. Meanwhile, several people who ordered in person were getting their meals before mine. It was 12:15 and I couldn't wait any longer. I understand that restaurants get busy, but being considerate of customers' time especially when they pre-order is important. That's the whole point of scheduling an online pickup. I did end up getting a refund, which I appreciate, but the situation was still frustrating and unacceptable. I hope you can do better in the future to ensure online orders are ready when promised. read more

very disappointed. I've been to the Calle Real one and they served a nice chicken sandwich. I ordered from this location and received a paper thin, burnt on the ends cutlet for my sandwich. feeling let down by this establishment as i'd always held their quality control in high regard. read more

First time here and I needed food that tasted good, fast, and something I can eat in the car since I had the dogs with me. This place delivered on all fronts: burgers, fries, and big parking lot. Vincent was an amazing conversationalist and helpful with the sauce recommendations. I tried the jalapeño ranch which was his favorite and he was right, tasty. They offered nice indoor and outdoor seating areas with a steady flow of customers. I beat the line at noon and then everyone started coming in. My hubby and I got the Klasic burger for $10. It was better quality than habit or hook burger, I'm pleasantly surprised. I love that this place donates back to the community. If I'm ever in the area and need a quick burger, I'll be back. read more

Burgers and chicken sandwich were pretty good. Service was fine. I took a star off because of the fries. My fellow diners' were fine; my batch - barely warm, and not well-seasoned. I will definitely go back though. For a burger and a shake. read more

Happy, friendly, and a professional staff with fresh ingredients daily with excellent dishes to choose from. I grabbed this peanut grilled chicken salad that's part of their 10-year anniversary for $10 w/ a drink! Yum. It's amazing! Highly recommended. read more

I've come to Kyle's numerous times and it's always consistent. Service is pretty quick and you can also order online if you want to grab and go. My office is right down the street so it's a perfect place to pick up lunch for the team! If you stay and eat, there's a ton of seating inside and on the patio, plus they have TVs which my husband loves if there's a football game on. My favorite go-to sandwich is the spicy chicken avocado which is packed with flavor and a little heat. The burgers are delicious and did you know they cater large events so you can get burgers and fries for everyone?! Salads are tasty too - I especially love the seared ahi salad. No matter what you're in the mood for, Kyle's has so many options to choose from. And on top of everything they are always supporting a local nonprofit! read more

Charging customers an up charge for To-go orders is insane. Upon some other knowledge regarding these business owners we will no longer use this establishment for our large catering events. So unfortunate but knowing who you are spending your money with is important. read more

Best food in town! My fav.Ahi tuna salad and the new Mango Habanero sandwich were delicious. Friendly staff and service were great tonight,as always. read more

7:30 on Friday night. No greeting, I order and the young man mumbles something, I say what and for the second time I don't understand him. Finally the order is in. No thank you or acknowledgement. This went on while two girls behind him were on their phones. Food was served and just plopped down with not a word. Food was good. We picked up our trash when leaving, however, the can was SO Overflowing there was no place to put it. Staff needs a pep talk. read more

A great spot with delicious food, friendly service, and a social cause. The selection of beers and hard kombucha on tap was a lovely treat. Love it and we'll be back soon. read more

Kyle's Kitchen - Triple ice cream cone. A first! - Burgers Near Me - Goleta, California

Gabe did an amazing job talking to us and making us a milkshake; however the two women who were staffed with him, mainly the girl who had a hat on and was packaging the food, had a very serious attitude and treated Gabe so disrespectfully. Which is insane considering what Kyle's kitchen is based off and all about. Her attitude really angered me. Please talk to this woman because she was all smiles when she was talked to Men but seemed annoyed and like she didn't want to be around Gabe. Very disappointing to watch that behavior and hear her speak to him that way. read more

This place is sooooo good! I ordered the Thai peanut salad. It came with a dinner roll and OMG, they had me with the bread; it was so good! They must bake it there because it was so fresh and delicious. The peanut dressing was super light, but tons of umami flavor. I added the fried chicken; moist and flavorful. And, finally, had a side of onion strings with ranch...Yum! read more

Service is ok. Not great. Food is not great. Not bad but not great. And there's always a guy begging in front and then going around to the deck asking for Food. I don't have a problem with people that need help but it's a hassle after giving him dough that he forgets and comes around the back. It's an overall experience of C food and C dining experience. read more

Burgers are pretty good. I got the 10 year anniversary sale so I got a burger, fries, and drink for $10 so I would say it is a pretty good deal. The reason why it is a four star and not a five is because I definitely had better burgers. Overall good. read more

Stopped in to Goleta on a trip down the 101 and ran into Kyle's - burger last time was epic so decided to come back again. Super friendly staff, amazing burger last time (so I came back for) and a rad veggie burger tonight. Place is a winner. Good drinks, good food, good location right off the 101 - it's a winner. Also! Grabbed a pack of the rolls and the crack bread - both rule. Kids loved the rolls then the next morning we toasted the crack bread and it was greattttt with a little butter. read more

Amazing food and service! This is one of our favorite new restaurants since moving to Goleta!

Waited almost 2 hours, no heads up on the wait ,they gave my food to the wrong person checked my order didn't have my complete order didn't apologize or offer to make my experience better. Super disappointed not cooks or cashiers but the expo and food runner read more

Update to reply to Kyle, owner's question. It was the temperature, they weren't fresh out of the fryer and didn't have much crisp or crunch! Thanks for the question! We look forward to returning. Loved our lunch at Kyle's. We have been on a bit of a fried chicken and chicken tender kick lately, so I ordered the burger lol while my kids had the chicken sandwich and chicken box. We also splurged on milkshakes, chocolate mint chip and cookies & cream. Service was pretty quick and friendly. Everything was cooked properly and they even left out the onions on my burger as requested. So many places end up giving them to me and they just go to waste, as I'm allergic to them. The burger itself was tasty as the bun was most amazing, fluffy with a good cover to it. Milkshakes were a more milky than cream-y. My son said his chicken was pretty good, nice and crunchy and tender inside. Would have been five stars but the fries weren't that great. My daughter's spicy chicken sandwich was enormous and well seasoned and not too spicy. We went in after the normal lunch time so it wasn't terribly crowded but I can imagine it does get pretty busy. read more

So disappointed with Kyle's kitchen today , we waited for our food for 45mins and when it came it was cold and greasy. There was probably 4 other orders that was waiting . I wish I would had spent $40.00 somewhere else . Sad read more

Peak, sauce was really good, food was cooked perfectly, good price for good food. Good ambiance

waited 30 min for food, burger was unflavored, fries were overcooked and felt more like a chip

favorite place in goleta! probably my most visited restaurant. it's amazing for kids, the workers are good, and it's nice inside and out. toys outside for kids to play with. i love the grilled cheese and the farmhouse salad. i also love how much they give back to the community. read more

We always enjoy Kyle's, this was our first visit to this location. They cost more than a fast food joint, but the food quality and their service are way better. Imagine Chick-fil-a staff serving upscale food. This time I tried their buffalo chicken sandwich. It was very good, covered with onion straws and bleu cheese, but not as good as their spicy chicken sandwich. Then again, their spicy chicken is the best so I'm not surprised. Next time I'll have to try the Protein Bar, it looks delicious. read more

Kyle's Kitchen - Buffalo chicken with fries and onion straws - Burgers Near Me - Goleta, California

I love supporting local businesses and actually went to school with Kyle. I have celiac and was so sad when I went to order and nobody knew anything about how the food was prepared or what allergens the different items contained. They couldn't tell me if fries were done in a shared fryer or provide any information on allergy protocol. I asked them to note that I have a gluten allergy but it wasn't taken seriously as I could see bread crumbs on the lettuce of the burger. I typically go to in n out or Mesa burger because their fries are safe for gluten free people and they have amazing and transparent allergy protocols. Considering Kyle's was founded on accessibility and catering to those with restrictions, I was expecting the staff and cooks to know more about their food. read more

Found this place out of luck. Came to drop our son off and this was one of the stops to eat and was very happy with everything from the food to the BEST hand made ice cream sandwiches read more

I have no idea what your burger meat is like because I am a vegetarian and ordered your absolutely disgusting garden burger rip off for over 10.00$. I gagged 1/2 of it down because of the price I paid. It was raw in the middle tasteless and the thought of it makes me gag. PLEASE remove it from your menu it is a rip off. read more

I ordered online for pickup at 5:17, and I arrived at 5:38 (the time the website told me the order should be ready). I did not receive my order until 6. It seemed like the kitchen staff did not know of the order when asked. Please consider having your website accurately reflect the time the order will take to make. People typically order take out to save time, not to wait even longer than in-person service. The food was tasty, but I don't see myself coming back due to the service. read more

Love Kyles! Amazing burgers, chicken tenders, sliders, salads and chicken sandwiches. The service is good and quick. The inside is nice and spacious. The k-bbq sliders are delicious and full of flavorful. Overall, I'll definitely come again. read more

At Kyle's Kitchen once again! This is a great place for the whole family to eat great food! And as they also include, Help Great People! My favorite item is the Thai Peanut Salad and if you need some protein add in some grilled chicken! Oh and don't forget their freshly made chocolate chip cookies!! The employees are all very nice and helpful. Their proximity to UCSB and Dos Pueblos High School means they employ students and locals! Kyle's Kitchen also work with other organizations to employ people of all abilities. And when it's nice out, they have a patio where they occasionally have liv read more

The burgers are always so good. The bun supports the flavor well. I always enjoy the staff and enjoy my meals here.

After a strenuous morning of shopping and battling long lines at Costco it was nice to venture across Hollister Avenue to Kyle's Kitchen. I had been to this location awhile back and remember always enjoying their burgers and salads. So being that we all had a hankering for a juicy burger we decided to see Kyle's. And sure enough they did not let us down! As we entered their dining area, which was very clean and organized, we all couldn't help but stop to sing along to the music on their sound system, the dulcet tones of Baha Men, "Who let the dogs out." So of course during our lunch we would occasionally let out a "woof, woof, woof, woof. Yi-Pi-Y-Yo." A delightful young man at the counter named Zo was very helpful in getting us all focused on their menu items, and he also made some good food suggestions. One of us went big and ordered The Cheesy Pig, I thoroughly enjoyed my Mountain Climber burger, and there were two Ahi in my Body burgers that we all got to share. The half and half of the French Fries and Onion Strings was a perfect compliment to our meals. They have also opened up within this location a new Kyle's Tap Room, which gave a wide selection of beers. During their daily Happy Hour they have nice specials on their beers, wine, mock-tails, and shareables. Also nice that you can order from each table on your phone. Although being there with Zo at the counter made things even better. Looking forward to our next visit to venture in to their salad menu items. read more

First time here and it was great food and good service the sliders where great I just didn't like the BBQ slider not really a BBQ fan it was good read more

Great little local joint. The counter service is adequate but the servers are very muted and just doing the job. The place could use better chairs IMHO. They are cheap and uncomfortable. All that aside, the food is tasty and inventive. We enjoyed our lunch choices. If was a better than average lunch spot, this place fits the bill. read more

I'm a regular at the local chain, Kyle's Kitchen, for several reasons. Their app is super user friendly and quick. It is a healthier option than most other fast food places. The food is always fresh and flavorful. Lastly, I love what their mission is and they stand for by donating to a different organization on a rotation. read more
