I love Kyle's! I always get their cheeseburgers and add bacon super good their salads are good too if you want something lighter. I use the app and they give great perks when you use it often! read more

The one on chapala is the most consistent and best tasting in my opinion. I like the onion rings .

The spicy crispy chicken sandwich is the best. The brioche bread is so nice a fluffy! It's just all around a great place and wonderful vibes. read more

Hidden gem, love this place. Stinky pig fry's are genius , burgers are fantastic. Milk shakes are great. And they give back to the community. read more

Delicious! I had the spicy chicken sandwich and it was fresh and flavorful. The service was awesome. Both the men working were all smiles and kind. Ibe back read more

Glad I gave this place another go. The staff are on point for cleaning. As soon as guests leave, they clean up the tables with a solid wipe down. Food is still consistent and satisfying. I've been going to the one on Hollister to get my fix. It's further and out of the way but it's clean. This location needs to fix their booths. They slide out. Nothing like a good screw can't fix. read more

Kyle's Kitchen - What was on the bench is now on the floor - that's how your staff cleans. GROSS! - Salad Near Me - Goleta, California

There was a "Service Fee" added to my bill without any apparent disclosure. when i asked, i was told it was to cover increased costs and other things. if they're not making enough money, they should just increase the price instead of slipping in an extra fee hoping people won't notice. I think they're embarrassed by how much they're already charging for a a hamburger combo. they got me this time, but i won't return until they stop adding hidden fees. read more

I brought 3 (well behaved) young boys here for lunch and our cashier was patient as they ordered for themselves. Our orders came out with very little wait. The fries were hot and the buns were fluffy, fresh and delicious. I never have any trouble at this location and think downtown could learn a thing or two from this team. Thanks for a great lunch treat! read more

Kyles has been my family's "go-to" place during COVID and "back to school". We have gone to Kyles weekly since they opened and we love Silvergreens too. Servers are always wonderful. It is easy to customize food orders (I need the jalapeños to come off my Kickin' Cowboy) Kyles is such a positive place (they gave us a giggle when they offered a roll of toilet paper with the take out orders during COVID shut down). They have a cool ice cream menu (pun intended). You have to try their ice cream-cookie sandwiches and their shakes. And Kyles has a great wine list. Thank you Kyle and Family! read more

This is for the Chapala location only... The perception does not align with the reality. A little while ago they advertised " grass fed beef " on their burgers. We gave it a try, and the first few times the burgers were great. Freshly cooked, like you would expect, but lately they are OBVIOUSLY pre cooked or frozen and then cooked or REHEATED when you order. If you are going to charge $7-$9 for a burger or a double-meat burger, please cook it fresh. The habit charges half the price and the burger tastes twice as good, if not better. I don't know if it is laziness of the cooks, who want to precook as many patties as they can, but without fail the burger patties are borderline cold and dry - and this means frozen first or precooked to save time. Either way, I'm done patronizing this place when I can go two more blocks to the Habit where they cook their burgers fresh. Online menu doesn't match the actual menu, many times their soups are not updated online. The concept of this place is nice, but it just doesn't fit the reality of what you get. Fries are in tiny little pieces and often times, like the burgers, not fresh. Broken little pieces of French fries and you charge $3 for them. I'd rather go to the Habit or In-N-Out. read more

Kyle's Kitchen - This is my jam: wedge salad with chicken. Yum!! - Salad Near Me - Goleta, California

I've been to the location off of Hollister many times. First time over to this site. Enjoyed the "Cheesy Pig" burger with fries. In a word "delicious"!! I know we have many burger choices here locally, but if you haven't done so, give Kyle's (burger) choices a test drive. Food is well prepared and the lettuce, tomato, onions are super fresh. Outside dining is currently available (as of this posting). Since I was working, I opted for on-line ordering, and curbside pick up. It was quick and easy, had my order in a matter of minutes, upon arrival. Big selection of salads as well. Put this on your lunch list during "lunch hour", or if your out-and-about!! Stay safe!! read more

After trying this place out for the second time it deserves 2 more stars!! Once again I experienced great service and I'd like to give a special shout out to Maria who was our waitress for the night. Catering to a party of about 10 people is not easy but she sure had it down and kept checking on us to make sure we had everything we needed. This time I ordered the Bacon & Egg Burger which is a fire grilled burger with a fried egg, crispy bacon, cheddar cheese, tomatoes, and arugula served on their freshly made brioche bun. I ordered an extra patty to bump up the beef and it was the best tasting burger I've had in awhile! I also ordered the Quinoa Keen-what? salad on the side. This salad is very light and refreshing. It comes with Wild Arugula, organic quinoa, roasted almonds, organic carrots, garbanzo beans, tomatoes, and cucumbers. Stinky Pig Fries - Are they really stinky? Not really so don't let the name scare you away! These French fries come with crispy bacon, bleu cheese crumbles (hence the word stinky) and a side of ranch. These are a nice side item to munch on and the fries are skinny so you will find yourself eating them like popcorn. Don't worry the bleu cheese wasn't as pungent as you would think so give this a try! OH! and last but not least I was lucky to try one of their freshly baked chocolate chip cookies served right out of the oven! OMG talk about melt in your mouth cookie-gasm!!! I know where I'm going when I get a cookie craving that's all I can say. read more

We could have not chosen a better spot for dinner while in Santa Barbara! Not only are you supporting a wonderful cause, the food is fantastic! They have an excellent menu of burgers and salads, I enjoyed both the veggie burger as well as the ahi salad. Prices are more than fair, quality and portion size are perfect as well. Service is exceptional, you really get all warm and fuzzy eating here, wonderful evening and supporting special needs children, its a win win and not to be missed while in the area, we need more places like this!! read more

Not bad but not the greatest. Live the help they give to groups around town snd that they are based on their son Kyle. Who wouldn't love it? Burgers are good, soft buns. Fries good as well but a bit soggy. Wish they had better salads that don't have that chemically taste on them like they're from a pre-washed bag of lettuce. Or maybe it's the dressing. Nice vibe inside. Fun and easy for the family. read more

Wanted a burger coming home from up North on a road trip so found this place in Yelp. My daughter and I ended up getting fried chicken and a fried chicken sandwich because it looked so yummy. The sandwich was nothing special but the chicken was really good so I ended up just eating the chicken by itself. Fries were good but I have to say you can taste that the ketchup was not Heinz and I'm a stickler for that. Husband had a BBQ burger that he really enjoyed. Soda fountain was average with Pepsi products. Not a fan of that brand. Iced tea was fresh and hit the a spot. read more

Excellent grass-fed burger. This is one of the only restaurants in town where you can find grass-fed beef. In addition, Kyle's Kitchen has been sending free meals to local families with special needs children. I am happy to support such a caring, community oriented business and hope you will do the same! P.S. They offer outdoor dining, takeout and delivery :) read more

Kyle's Kitchen is a nice place to eat lots of seating and good service. Milkshake was alright. The burger is thin so double up it's a matter of being fed. The patty had too much char and it really took away from the taste of the burger. Good cause, would probably recommend having something besides the burger though. read more

Kyle's Kitchen - bleu cheese and bacon. can't go wrong here - Salad Near Me - Goleta, California

The rating is for the good staff and service, although the food just isn't great. Fries are always cold, and brioche buns outweigh the burger. Tried the chicken sandwich today to see if it was just the burgers, but ran into the same problem. For all the marketing I've seen saying it's the "best chicken sandwich", it's pretty tasteless and not much to it. Fast Response on Yelp, I'm giving an additional star. Good service! read more

I was given two gift cards through my employer, and these gift cards are useless for online orders with delivery. I contacted the company about the issue and was told they will fix it, and a month later it still is not fixed. It's as if Kyle's kitchen does not care about the customers to keep their word and fix this problem after saying they would. Very poor integrity and poor leadership read more

The food was decent, service was not so stellar. The server acted like she was annoyed with us when we were trying to figure out what we wanted. Not sure if I will come back anytime soon, but I'll try again some other time just to see if my thoughts change about this place. read more

Love this place! The food is always delicious, staff is always super friendly, and the food is always ready quickly when I call in a pick up order. read more

I am a big fan of this place. The first time I visited, I assumed it was just a burger joint. But it's so much more! Kyle's has every type of burger (beef, veggie, ahi tuna...), a variety of salads, rotating soups, and a nice selection of ice cream flavors. My favorite thing to order is a "pair it" burger with a side salad (read: basically a full-sized salad...the portions are quite large!). Try the mountain climber burger for something spicy, and the kale cranberry salad if you're into kale. You also can't go wrong with the fries! Beyond the food, I'm so impressed with the community engagement at Kyle's. They clearly support local charities, which they advertise on the walls. If anything, the beef burger patty could be better. I sometimes find them to be a little on the dry side. But the high-quality toppings and fresh-baked brioche buns make up for the burger itself. read more

My favorite burger place in the area! Really like the regular burger and the chicken sandwich, and their fries and salads are great. The service is super speedy and friendly, and also really appreciate their curbside pickup during COVID-times. Always a great reliable experience, and will definitely keep coming back here! read more

Tasty food at a reasonable price and owners with a conscious. That's a good combination. They support the community and I'm happy to support their business. read more

This place was awesome! The restaurant itself is cute with an outside seating area. Everyone that was working in the restaurant was really helpful and nice. The prices are very reasonable with $6 for most burgers and $10 to make it a meal. I got the mountain climber, it was delicious and the fries are full of flavor with a nice crunch. To top it off they make monthly donations to help people with special needs. I would definitely go back to this place and if you are thinking about going hopefully this post will make you want to go. Have a good day :) read more

I've been going to Kyle's forever with my family. We love all of the options for different burgers, sandwiches, salads and drinks! We enjoy popping in for a beverage special or an ice cream treat. The service is stellar! Friendly and helpful people. We love when Kyle is there to greet and cheer us up at a meal. The trivia on the screens is fun to play while waiting for the yummy food. The establishment is clean and inviting. If you haven't tried it yet you're in for a treat. read more

I enjoyed it so much. It was really good. I had the Peanut salad, clam chowder, and fries. The cucumber lemonade was very tasty. The atmosphere is really nice and calm. Menu has lots of options. The staff go above and beyond. The prices are very reasonable. They have beer options if needed. Everything is very healthy. They use all the grass fed meat. Cookies are alright not anything super good. Just a great fast stop spot. I'll be back one day. Thanks guys. read more

I purchased the Cali club - it was good but was cold, and fries was kinda soggy. I will return and try something else, hopefully it will be better next time. read more

Great place, great food, great value, and they support a great cause. This place functions like that of a fast food place, without the fast-paced environment. You grab a menu at the entrance, decide what you want, order at the cashier, and get drinks from the soda fountain machine. Seat yourself (there is a good amount of seats inside and outside) and your food will be served to your table when it's ready! I ordered the Earth Burger. It has avocado and caramelized onions, which were the two main components that compelled me to try this burger. The veggie patty... was pretty thin, and crumbled easily. Not sure what I was expecting, considering that I wasn't eating a meat patty. Nevertheless, I thoroughly enjoyed my burger, and so did my family! I'm not too much of a fry person, but their fries were tasty. I personally don't think the extra few bucks for a side w/ the burger is worth the price of the $9 combo either (depending on the price of the burger you buy); I'd rather buy the burger by itself. I'll definitely drop by here sometime in the future to try different burgers :) read more

wonderful burgers and chicken tenders. staff is super friendly. the french fries were fantastic

When I'm in the Santa Barbara area this is always a stop of mine. The ahi tuna sandwich is something to write home about. Do it!

Always enjoy eating here. Tasty diverse menu options with consistent food and service. Great for families as well!

Nah. I kept it pretty short and to the point but I'll expand since the business manager is so aggro and needs clarification. My review is for the restaurant and adult staff only, and has nothing in anyway to do with their child mascot who is not in control of the management or theme of this restaurant chain. While it's true, this place can't even make a decent french fry and their food is overpriced I recommend avoiding at all costs, their business manager or whoever is replying to people is a creep and bully. Don't go to this place, they'll try to doxx you if you do or say something they don't like. Not cool. Having Kyle walk around while people are eating as if to show him off seems tacky and he likes he is paraded around Kyle's locations like a spectacle. While I understand that Kyle has no control over this, being that he is a child, it seems like distasteful practice. read more

Best Buffalo Chicken Sandwich ever! Fresh ingredients, juicy chicken and yummy onion strings and bun!

Staying in Goleta for a weekend getaway to explore Santa Barbara and this place was recommended by the front desk for the hotel. First impression, a nice and modern burger joint, but upon learning more about it, turns out that the place donates a portion of the proceeds to a special needs cause. Inspired by Kyle, a really sweet boy it seems, this place is a social impact business and I'm definitely all for that. Food was really good, ordered the mountain climber with the stinky pig fries and my husband got the bacon and egg burger. the brioche bun was perfectly buttery, the lettuce and jalapeños fresh, and the burger itself was packed really well. I was expecting it to be super messy, but the burger stayed in tact super well throughout. The price was also reasonable- $9 for basic burger, fries and soda. Plus a dollar or so depending on the types of burger and fries you choose. Service was also not bad. Wasn't the best by any means, but enough to not be rude. All in all, great food for a great cause. I would recommend. read more

I have been very happy with this addition to Goleta. I'm not a beef-eater, but there are many great options for me. The veggie burger, fries, salads are all great. In my opinion, it is very reasonably priced and a substantial amount of food. Recently, I got the pairing with the earth burger (delicious veggie burger) and the kale salad. The service was great and the outside patio is nice. Parking is okay as long as you stay away from the Trader Joe's area. read more

The best two for one deal there is. Dine here, and enjoy good food while supporting great organizations around the community. Kyle's Kitchen is located in the Calle Real Center along Calle Real. You can't miss it; look for an octogonal tented roof and orange umbrellas. Parking can be a challenge during meal times since there's not enough spots. However, there's plenty of tables and booths inside, with outside seating available as well. The line to order wasn't too bad, but the wait to receive my order was a little long. Although they fan out the contents of the burger so you can see all the ingredients, you can still tell how small the portion size is. The brioche bun was tasty, but super tiny. The beef patty was especially tender and juicy. They serve the same size beef patties as The Habit, but it feels smaller. I totally forgot that my Bacon & Egg burger came with a beef patty until I took a second bite. Most of the burgers are $5.50, some a dollar extra, which is fair given the charity aspect, but not exactly reasonable. You can pay $2 for double meat & cheese, but now your burger is $7.50-8, while a Double Char is around $4.25. Do remember that it's for a good cause. While the burgers are flavorful and scrumptious, the opposite can be said for the fries. Perhaps they left them in the fryer too long the day I visited, but my fries were super dry and crunchy. It did not have a nice golden color to it, and I was left with many burnt pieces. Overall, I left pretty satisfied with my meal. Besides the value versus price points, it was delicious. Kyle's is a great concept and a decent option for burgers. I would come back to try their other offerings like the milkshakes and the Mountain Climber. read more

It's a pretty awesome burger place with great milkshake. My husband ordered the one with their jalapeno and meat quality was very fresh and good. The milkshake was not as thick as I wanted but he seemed to enjoy his pistachio milkshake. French fries was just ordinary so I will just go to for the burgers next time. read more

If you would like an exercise in futility, eat here. Might be the single worst culinary experience of my life. From the outside it quite deceiving, Colorful, bright, inviting. But don't let it fool you. 5 of us ate here and we all felt the same, so it wasn't an isolated incident. The burgers were dry, fries were soggy. Tomatoes were where they weren't supposed to be. Patrons who arrived after us were getting food before us (granted they were a bunch of young attractive women). Worst of all...my beer arrived three quarters of the way through my burger. Beer was pretty stale. If I had to put my finger on a single problem, it's that they hire college kids because they are cheap. It seemed like they were in lala land or some kind trance. So may other places you can go nearby... Don't do it...just don't read more
