Beer is great. Service is great! And it's a locally grown and based business. The bar tender told…read moreme that the founders were alumni of University of California, Santa Barbara. And that Jack Johnson (singer) was also an investor. So the ambience of this place was pretty cool and gives the local vibes. Food is not served here but they invite food trucks to sell food.

He loads up my sandwiches each time, no matter what I order and what size. Literally massive, he is the best for that!! My classic order is always a hot pastrami with all the toppings and maybe pepper jack if I am feeling cheese. Everything is always fresh and just tastes fantastic. Extra onions and peppers is the way to go, and they always deliver. It's a classic, no frills sandwich shop that satisfy the audience. What else can I say? This place has fed me time and time again and I don't plan on stopping. YUM!

It's a great location in the shopping center and plenty of parking out front. The decor and ambiance is a nice open floor plan with that brewery touch. It was very clean and nice and warm inside on the cold fall night. We got the cheesesteak appetizer which was DELICIOUS and coconut shrimp. The group ordered tacos, wings and some different burgers. I got the Norwegian salmon sandwich with a side of sweet potato fries. The salmon was perfectly cooked and delicious. I like the bread they use and the tomatoes have some tasty seasoning on them. There wasn't a lot of arugula but a perfect amount of sauce as to not overwhelm the salmon. It wasn't a super packed or fancy sandwich but very good. The sweet potato fries were on the thin side but good and a nice amount. The potato chips that come standard with the meal are DELICIOUS! We got some churros to go. They didn't seem very fresh, but good none the less, but probably not worth the order over the brownie Sunday which looked much better and fresh! Overall I really like this menu. It's diverse and there are multiple things I wanted to order.

We had great service from a blonde young woman named Kira, and our hostess was also super nice. Seems like all of the employees here are always working hard to clear the tables for the next party! Also, they greet you as you walk in and say goodbye as you leave. I notice the employees give that great service to all customers that come in. The buffalo cauliflower appetizer was to die for. I prefer this location to the downtown one.

As a beer snob (ahem...chasing 5k unique beer check-ins on Untappd, the Yelp of beer) I have to say…read morethis place is great. Great service, met the owner, nice guy, well curated beers on tap (I think they generally have 16 on tap) ranging from a few from overseas if you are in to Belgians or what have you and then a well chosen selection of great beers from all over - maybe a bit California heavy but there is a helluva lot of great beer in California. I hate going in to a so-called taproom and I can't find anything I have never had on tap. Why go to a place with a bunch of variety of there is nothing new? Typical corporate or beer-illiterate taproom: "Well we have this great IPA from Lagunitas, its their IPA have you heard of Lagunitas? What about Sam Adams? Oh and we have Guinness if you are into *throws finger quotes* dark beers. Oh we also have Sierra Nevada Pale I think it comes all the way from NorCal!" Ugh. Again - great rotating selection here...and a bonus couple of coolers where you can score some cans and bottles to go of some more great craft beer. Ambiance is local bar/brewery, they have food some nights (had a great smashburger from Goodland Grillers tonight) and trivia on Thursdays. There I included the word ambiance are you happy Yelp? Cheers.

The bar itself is the perfect size -- small, cozy, and welcoming without feeling cramped. There's a pool table and a music machine, which adds to the laid-back vibe and makes it a fun place to hang out with friends. On big game days, I definitely recommend getting there early since the parking lot is on the smaller side. The drinks are affordable and actually taste good, which isn't always guaranteed. The servers are friendly, attentive, and make you feel genuinely welcomed every time. Overall, this place is all about good people, good drinks, and good times exactly what you want from a neighborhood bar.

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.
