    Amazing! And they are started a prepared meats program for meal planning. Tri tip, sirloin, chicken thighs as well as sauces and rubs a la carte!

    JFC Original Chicken Sandwich
    Alyssa A.

    Love a good fried chicken sandwich and will always drive for good food. Had no idea this little restaurant was even here, so it was exciting to hear about their delicious chicken! They actually have a pretty big menu (and I am definitely excited to come back and try more of it). Ordered a JFC Original Chicken Sandwich and ... I was not prepared for how large the piece of chicken was going to be! This thing was massive and so freakin' tasty. The sandwich was a whole was so much larger than I expected it to be, and that JFC sauce complimented it all perfectly. Such a satisfying sandwich. Had to add on some of their Nashville Hot Fries. While they weren't as hot as I was expecting, the spice was still so delicious. There was no way I could finish them all! Looks like it's in what used to be an old motel. Parking lot inside is small, but we had no issue finding parking. Super reasonable prices, especially for the size of the sandwiches. Will definitely return when craving a chicken sandwich.

    Came here for burger week and their fried chicken burger did not disappoint. The breading was light and crispy and the chicken itself was not dry at all. I also tried the chocolate chip macadamia coconut cookie which was delicious and not too sweet

    First time eating here. The fried chicken was crispy, juicy, and very flavorful. The service was great! So kind and friendly! Can't wait to come back and try the chicken and waffles!

    Now in the heart of Old Town Goleta, and a couple doors down from Pepe's Mexican Restaurant, this is the perfect place for delicious fried chicken. We've been ordering up their shared plates of Buttermilk Fried Wings and the Buffalo Wings. And paired nicely with their biscuits, Slab Bacon Baked Beans, 4-cheese Mac 'n Cheese, Buttermilk Slaw, and Shoestring Fries, this makes us all so happy. It's been nice to order and pick up to take home, but they do have a comfortable seating area for everyone. Nice friendly staff, and have never had to wait to long to pick up an order. And still so much on their menu to try. Next up I have been hearing a lot about the Fried Chicken Sandwich and also the Chicken & Waffles. And don't forget to check out their cold case for their selection of pickles. We try a new one each time and they are delicious.

    A solid 3.7 in my book. Wish we could give half ratings! Jonesy's Fried Chicken is a fresh spot in Goleta offering tasty chicken and fun sides! My boyfriend and I recently visited here craving some spicy fried chicken, and this restaurant delivered exactly that. The shop is in an unexpected location. Driving here we were like "are we going to a business or what?". You pull into a parking lot with 3 other businesses, and Jonesy's is right there. Not in your typical strip mall or anything. A surprise! The inside itself is cute and quaint. Nothing over the top and seats a few parties of people. We went around 4 pm, so it was not that busy. Only one other group, and then we ended up being the only folks inside. The staff were nice and very accommodating, which is a plus! We ordered the Korean hot chicken sandwich, Georgia peach sandwich, Nashville fries, and an order of Mac and cheese. The sandwiches come al a carte, which was a bummer. We spent $48 on this meal, which was steep. This immediately knocked our ratings down sadly. Korean Chicken Sandwich - Very good! My favorite item of the meal! The chicken was crispy and juicy, and the sauces and fixings were really good too. The chicken was a bit thin, which was unfortunate. ALSO A HEADS UP: if you have the gene where cilantro tastes like soap, either skip this or say not cilantro because it has a lot of it!! I love the choice of bread they used for this. A tip from me is to pour the brine from the green tomato's (or tomatillos? We were unsure!) onto your sandwich! Adds acidity and balanced it even better. Georgia Peach - Pretty good! Size was a bit disappointing for $17 JUST FOR THE SANDWICH. Biscuit was light and crisp with a fluffy interior. The peaches were interested. Was expecting them to be fresh or lightly macerated/cooked, but they tasted jarred. There was a hot honey sauce on here that was pretty good too! Mac and Cheese - Very cheesy! Good flavor, tastes like sharp white cheddar, maybe fontina, maybe Parmesan? It was a 4 cheese Mac and they made that very clear. Downside is that it comes with bread crumbs on top. Our preference would've been for this dish to be baked in a tray with cheese on top, and then scooped out for each serving. Nashville Fries - These came out entirely cold, which was a bummer. The fries were soggy and didn't hit anything out of the park. Got the job done. Just wish it was fresh since that is expected overall. Overall, this place is pretty good. Is the price of each sandwich worth it in our opinions? No. We wish the sandwiches were actual meals with a drink and a small fry. Paying $16-18 for just a sandwich is wrong. $16-18 for a meal however, is not! We totally want to come back to try some regular chicken, since those deals seem more worth it. Not a bad place, but not entirely worth our money!

    JFC sandwich with shoestring fries
    Adanari Z.

    I don't know what sorcery Jonesy's is using to get their fried chicken to be so crispy on the outside yet juicy on the inside but I. AM. HERE. FOR. IT! This is my second visit to Jonesy's and loved it just as much as my first visit. This visit I got to try the Georgia peach sandwich and holy moly, that is delicious! Their huge and flavorful fried chicken fillet with hot honey and peaches on a delectable biscuit. Wow! It was such a star of a sandwich. I've had their Korean Nashville hot and that was a standout too. So unique and great taste. I love Jonesy's pickles; perfect crunch and flavor. Their lemonade tasted a bit on the older side but still drinkable. I'm sure it's great when fresh. Their staff has been so great every time. Friendly and attentive. Parking is a bit tricky but there's options around the restaurant. Don't let the tire shops and surrounding area of the restaurant fool you. Jonesy's is a must when in the area....or even when you're not. Worth the drive if not local!

    Nashville hot fries
    Shelby S.

    Recently got to try this spot and it was delicious! The buffalo chicken wrap is so yummy. It's got a great amount of sauce and it's full of flavor. I opted for a side of Nashville Hot Fries and it was A LOT. I definitely recommend sharing. The serving is generous. I love the Nashville seasoning adding some heat. The service is great and parking was so easy right in front of the restaurant. Jonesy's is a hidden gem that I'm glad to have discovered!

    JFC + pickles and peppers
    Daniela A.

    The JFC was amazing! Jonesy's has truly perfected the art of fried chicken! The sandwich was the perfect balance of crunchy & soft + savory & spice! The staff here is so kind, they make the experience even better! Will definitely come back and try more menu items!

    Chicken wings
    Kay C.

    Unfortunately I did not have a great experience at this restaurant. I ordered the chicken wings that came with a pickle and toast. I always have a habit of breaking chicken apart and I'm happy that I did. As seen in the attached photos, the wings weren't properly cooked and had blood! I was so upset, by the time I saw this, the restaurant was already closed so there was nothing that I can do. Between this and standing at the counter for more than 5 minutes without being acknowledged, I don't plan on returning.

    3&2 with buttermilk slaw and THE BEST BAKED BEANS I'VE EVER HAD! Plus fries, sauce, mini biscuit, and fried mac & cheese ball.
    Pamela F.

    I was lucky enough to be part of a big online group order with friends when I was recently visiting Goleta. Didn't go into the restaurant so I can't say much about that, but their service and food is AMAZING! I gave them a courtesy call to provide early warning that a big online order was heading their way later that afternoon. The gent I spoke with was helpful and seemed appreciative of the heads up. Oh. My. Goodness! We were all so giddy as we unpacked bag after bag of grub. All well marked so we knew which order was whose and such. (Except for the sauces, which could have been slightly helpful but they're pretty straightforward.) We seemingly ordered nearly everything on the menu besides the entree salads. Reports of the Korean Nashville hot sandwich with kimchi aioli were most excellent. The half-dozen mini biscuits with honey-cayenne butter and preserves were terrific. The crunchy fried mac and cheese balls were killer. Even their pickles, pickled peppers and Texas toast were delicious! I opted for the Three & Two - three chicken tenders & two sides - with buttermilk slaw and the most incredible bacon baked beans. Seriously, people. I instantly proclaimed that these were the best baked beans I've ever had in my life! Which immediately drew disbelief from my friends. And I get that. It's a big claim. But I eventually shared bites with those interested and there was agreement that these beans were absolutely incredible! 20 thumbs up from our gang! Can't wait to return to Goleta just to go back to Jonesy's!

    Finally made it to Jonesy's and so glad that we did! Please keep in mind that they are brand new and the wait can be long, but it's worth it! We got the Three & Two along with the JFC Chicken. The chicken alone was worth the wait! It was tender, juicy, crispy, and flavorful!!! So so good! The portions were generous and we were satisfied with every bite. Highly recommend these options! The only things that we did not enjoy too much were the Hot Honey side sauce and the Banana Foster pudding. Tons of whipped cream, barely any pudding. I know as they find their footing and gather feedback, I would love to give it a second try. But for a grand opening, we were very impressed! Can't wait to come back and meet the owner!

    I have to say. The fried chicken was different but need to perfect Californian tastes Buds. I tried this place on the way back from Santa Barbara and the review was decent. When I was there I notice most of the customers are friend and neighbor that are trying to support his business which is cool. But been eating Fry chicken all over USA and the world. Most successful restaurant need to modify their food to cater the local first before venture out to the original taste. Still good just need for adjusting. Here is my scoring card for this restaurant: 1) Location: ( 3 Point ) - Great location for customer to see and find. Not a good parking . Only few parking space in parking lot, and for street parking is also limited 2) Decoration : (4 Point) - They still have the original decoration. Clean and still fairly new. 3) Price: ( 4 point)- The price is competitive but still a little bit pricey compare to other same stars and type food they serve 4) Quality and Taste : ( 3 point)- The quality is ok, food taste is good and portions are above average. 5) Type of cuisine standard : ( 4 point) - The style of American fry food they serve is pretty close to the way it was prepare in east/ mid east coast. Not bad! But some dishes still needed modify to cater the customer's need Overall it's not bad and I thinks it's great to give it a try and let me know what you think. Go foodies Total max is 25 Score 18 Stars = 72% round up to 3 stars

    I tried a lot of things on the menu…read more.. Here is how I rank the Mac & Cheese: 1. Bacon Mac & Cheese. It's the same price as the bomb Mac and cheese. They both contain bacon, so i thought this bacon Mac and cheese would be a bad deal ..that is until I tried it and realized that it has A LOT more bacon than the bomb Mac and cheese. Probably like 10x more bacon. It's awesome. I didn't have to add anything else like sauce to finish it. Every bite was awesome. Favorite so far. 2. BBQ Chicken Mac & Cheese. I like the BBQ version more than the Buffalo. I got more chicken this time and it improved the overall meal. 3. Buffalo Chicken Mac & Cheese. The chicken is good, i got the crispy version, but there isnt enough pieces of chicken for the price. It's good, but not worth the money. 4. Bomb Mac & Cheese. Great, spend the extra money instead of getting the regular Mac and cheese. I had to add spicy mayo, Sriracha, spicy mayo and jalapenos from Lao Wang to make it better though. 5. Flamin Hot Mac & Cheese. The crushed Takis definitely improve the regular Mac & Cheese. Therefore it's definitely worth the extra dollar for the crushed Takis. Or just buy a bag of Takis and crush them yourself and add that to the regular Mac and cheese. But for convenience, just get this one instead of the regular Mac & Cheese. 6. Street Corn Mac & Cheese. Not as good as the other Mac & Cheese options. More queso fresco would make it better, but it wouldn't be enough to make it worthy of a second purchase. 7. Mac and Cheese. Good, but needs something extra. Kinda plain, I added Sriracha, chili oil and spicy mayo from Lao Wang to make it better. 8. Mac Bites. My least favorite Mac & Cheese option. The monster sauce is good. I ordered the Crispy Chicken Snack Wraps with 15 different sauces. From Favorite to least favorite: 1. Crispy chicken snack wrap with House Sauce, is delicious. 2. Chipotle Sauce. 3. Ranch. 4. Honey BBQ Sauce. 5. Teriyaki Sauce. 6. Spicy Asian. 7. Spicy Sauces. 8. Hummus. 9. Spicy Mayo. 10. Honey Mustard. 11. Buffalo. 12. Bleu Cheese. 13. Tzatziki. 14. Green Salsa. 15. Tahini. I tired ALL of the Grilled Cheese options. I enjoyed all of them. I ranked them from favorite to least favorite: 1. CRISPY Chicken Pesto Grilled Cheese. 2. GRILLED Chicken Pesto Grilled Cheese. 3. B.L.T. Grilled Cheese. 4. Bacon Avocado Grilled Cheese. 5. The Bacon Cheddar Ranch Grilled Cheese. 6. Chili Grilled Cheese. 7. BBQ CRISPY Chicken Grilled Cheese. 8. BBQ GRILLED Chicken Grilled Cheese. 9. The Veggie Grilled Cheese. 10. Fantastic Grilled Cheese. 11. The Caprese Grilled Cheese. 12. The Bacon Mac & Cheese Grilled Cheese. . 13. Adult Grilled Cheese. 14. Classic Grilled Cheese. I have tried 3 different bread options for the Grilled Cheeses. Favorite to least favorite. 1. Sourdough Toasted 2. Rye Toasted 3. Wheat Toasted I have tried all Wing flavors (BONE-IN) except for Ghost Pepper. Favorite to least favorite. 1. Mango Habanero 2. Honey Garlic 3. Spicy Asian 4. Garlic Parmesan (better than Wingstop) 5. Honey Hot 6. Teriyaki 7. Honey BBQ 8. Spicy Buffalo 9. Spicy Korean 10. Mild Buffalo 11. Cajun 12. Lemon Pepper 13. Plain 14. Spicy Scorpion (Extremely Spicy) I've tried every sandwich except for the Falafel and the Fat Hippie. Rank: 1. The Fat Gaucho (I think if I changed the Honey BBQ Sauce to Chipotle or House Sauce it would be the best) 2. The Fat Sam (I think if I removed the fries it would be better) 3. Pastrami (Delicious) 4. Philly Cheesesteak Arguably better than Jersey Mike's Cheesesteaks. 5. Chopped Cheese 6. Patty Melt 7. B.L.T. (Best Bacon in I.V.) 8. Lamb Gyro 9. Ham Sandwich 10. Veggie Sandwich I made a separate sandwich list for the chicken options. Rank: 1. Chicken Shawarma 2. Southwestern Chicken Club 3. Honey Spicy Chicken 4. Chicken Bacon Ranch 5. BBQ Chicken 6. Chicken Pesto Avocado 7. Buffalo Chicken with Bleu Cheese 8. Chicken Tender I made a separate list for Turkey. Rank: 1. Turkey Chipotle Club 2. Turkey Pesto Avocado 3. Turkey Sandwich. I've tried some of the Burgers. Rank: 1. Gaucho Burger 2. IV Burger 3. Buffalo Burger 4. Breakfast Burger 5. 1/4 (Quarter Pounder) 6. Hamburger I've tried some of the Fries. Rank: 1. Dirty Andrew Fries 2. Asada Fries 3. Buffalo Chicken Cheese Fries 4. Animal Style Fries I recommend using their IV Deli APP, because you save time and you can customize your order A LOT. The APP also gives you credits for free food. Overall I loved eating here and ordering something new every day.

Although, I will mention that the carne asada had a slightly funny taste that wasn't very pleasing. It was tolerable, but could have been better. Despite that, the food was delicious.
