    Grilled chicken sandwich.
    Desiree P.

    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.

    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!

    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.

    I've been going to Kyle's since they opened in 2014. I love their burgers. I love their story…read morebehind 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.

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!

This one sits in a strip mall so there is plenty of free parking and seats to eat at. My wife was bummed that there was no more sea urchin to be bought when we pulled in at dinner time but the fried fish taco special was too good to pass up so we both ordered that, the kiddo got the grilled salmon plate, and we also got a bowl of clam chowder to share. All the food was delicious! The fish tacos were the way I like them- a big piece of fish with cabbage, a little pico de gallo, and a dollop of sauce- not too many overpowering flavors to let the fish be the star of the show. The clam chowder was creamy with plenty of clams, and the salmon plate had great salmon that was cooked nicely (still moist) and what was likely an entire avocado sliced up on the plate. Great food, we'd definitely come back!

Really enjoyed the fresh oysters here. The smallest, most expensive one (they had a few different ones that day so I tried one of each) was understandably the tastiest and creamiest of the bunch. The other ones were good too, and all of them had a salty brine on them. They also provided some lemon wedges, marinara (?) sauce, and hot sauce. The fried soft-shell crab burger was interesting to try once, not particularly my taste but if you like fried soft-shell crab it could be great for you. I would like to come back, especially for the fresh oysters. Hoping to try some other menu items next time.
