Possibly the best fried chicken in the west! Organic too. Got the JFC original chicken sandwich which was scumptious with a nice sweet sauce to compliment the perfect fried chicken and dill pickles and shaved lettuce. Chose the classic cole slaw for a side which was also very good. My wife got the 3 and 2 with three good size chicken tenders she described as the best she has ever had and we have been around the block for awhile. She also had an outstanding side of mac and cheese. Place is kind of hard to find in old Goleta with a small seating area and parking can be difficult, but we highly recommend this place even though they just recently opened and are getting up to speed. Give Jonesy's a shot for some mouth watering fried chicken as they claim. We can't wait to go back and have some more and try other items on the menu. 5 stars. read more

Absolutely delicious. Korean Nashville hot was great. The Georgia peach is out of this world. Yelp should allow 4.5 star reviews.

Ok I'm going to admit, I probably had a bad batch. I got a chicken sandwich, a tender, fries, and the banana pudding. The chicken sandwich was really good and the tender is not bad. However, the fries were way too soggy and the banana pudding tastes like powder mix. read more

We've been looking forward to trying out Jonesy's since it opened! My husband loved a fried chicken sandwich so he's always looking for more places with a good one around town. Jonesy's did not disappoint! When you walk in the door the aroma of fried chicken and waffles flows through and smells sooo good! My husband went with the JFC chicken sandwich and loved it. He said it was juicy, had great sauce, and the perfect amount of crunch. We reached out to Jonesy's on Instagram ahead of time to ask about gluten free options which was helpful! They let us know the fries are GF and made in a dedicated frier which is great! They also have a blackened chicken option that is GF-- you can get this on a salad or I opted to get the chicken tenders with blackened chicken instead of fried. The blackened chicken was super juicy and delicious, the blackened seasoning was a little intense but overall was good! The fries were perfectly cooked and delicious! Also loved the Carolina bbq dipping sauce! We'll be back! read more

Favorite chicken place in Santa Barbara county. It is a great stop going to or from the airport. Love the sauce selection and their fried chicken tastes clean read more

Love their fried chicken! I definitely crave their fried chicken & have also tried their mac n cheese balls, many of the sides and a wrap which were all awesome. Try their nashville hot fried chicken strips & fries too! Jonesy's is on our lunch rotation every few weeks! Owner Kyle is very personable and the staff are friendly and helpful. read more

Bland chicken, bland fries, not even hot. Nashville hot wasn't even spicy. Prices are INSANE. Could go almost anywhere for a nice sit down restaurant and pay LESS. $18 chicken sandwich, $4+ fries, $4 drink. Tax and tip you're almost THIRTY DOLLARS. THIRTY. I give them another year before they are gone. LOL. read more

Simply put, these folks know how to cook. I took away food and hosted a country supper at my home that was enjoyed by everybody. I am from the south so I know good southern cooking and these folks really know how to cook. Their prices are fair and there are plenty of menu items. So, why did the chicken cross the road? To get to Jonesy's, that's why. I strongly recommend you enjoy their product and their kind service. read more

Omg amazing food! We ordered the Georgia Peach and the Buffalo chicken sandwiches, an order of buttermilk biscuits, and two fountain drinks - it was about $60, which included a tip. Yes, pricey, but so so so worth it!!! The sandos were huge, the biscuits cooked perfectly, and the chicken was moist and seasoned so well. Splurge a little and give it a try! read more

Okay... WOW! Hole in the wall and absolutely the best! So yummy and the place looks clean with super sweet customer service. Just be prepared for a bit of a hunt for parking and to pay a pretty penny. Highly recommend but pricey. read more

Love their fried chicken, but the hook for me is their mini biscuits!! So glad they opened up a second location. Customer service was excellent! read more

Our work had a lunch order from Jonesy's and it was so good! I ordered the Chicken Caesar wrap and I had never had one with fried chicken before! So good! I believe I also had an oatmeal chocolate chip cookie which was also great. Can't wait to try more items! read more

I am always on a quest to find the best chicken tenders and the chicken tenders at Joney's are

Fantastic little local joint a few blocks off old town Goleta. Incredible fried chicken, sauces, fries, sides and sandwiches in various combinations. I had the 3+2 recently = 3 chicken tenders, 2 sides (fries and slaw here) on a piece of Texas toast. Chicken is wonderfully seasoned and crispy, as are the fries, with a hug tub of creamy slaw. $17, but the portions are enormous and quality of food excellent. Love the pickled Chile pepper garnish. Sandwiches are around $14. Can't wait to go back. read more

RUN, don't walk, to Jonesy's Fried Chicken!!! Moving from LA to goleta, this was hands down the BEST chicken sandwich I've ever had. If I could go back and kiss the cook, I totally would. The staff is super sweet and friendly, and the place is so clean and cozy with the perfect vibes. I got the JFC Original with shoestring fries, and let me tell you, the portions are massive and actually well-priced for the quality and flavor. I also grabbed sides of ranch, hot honey, and buffalo ranch & slaw, and everything was delicious. Don't sleep on this spot! read more

So... I'm giving 5 stars, though I was only able to eat leftovers. But shoot-- if it holds up for a reheat and still tastes that good-- I'm sold. Must try! read more

I think the chicken itself is very good. The sides are not that good though. The Mac and cheese is pretty cheaply made which is the side I ended up ordering. I read other reviews stating that this side was really good but it wasn't. The service was really good but the sauces I originally ordered were on my friends plate so I asked for more sauces. If they had put them on my plate then I wouldn't have asked for more. The mango sauce is very good and so is the bbq sauce. I wanted to try the biscuits but you cannot get one biscuit without ordering six of them. The Texas toast is made with a butter substitute which has a strange taste. I think that it would have been better with real butter. read more

This is one of the only businesses in Goleta with Banana Pudding, so by default, I had a great experience. The pudding itself wasn't out of this world but my family had a great experience with the classic chicken sandwich, which seems to be their specialty. The service was nice and overall I had a great experience! read more

The JFC original chicken sandwich is delicious! The restaurant is in a strange location but don't let that stop you from eating here. It is clean, and the food is worth it. The staff is super helpful and friendly. read more

Great place; I'll be back. It's, as they say, finger-lickin' good! The only thing is parking can be a challenge. Don't park in sight of the barber across the way - he's weirdly possessive of his spaces and will hurl profanity at you if you park in any of them. read more

We ordered the Big Bird tray and added a few extra tenders. It was plenty of food for our family of 4. We loved being able to order a variety of sauces. The mini biscuits disappeared in seconds and my daughter declared that these were the best pickles in town! We took our banana pudding home to sample later because we were too full from lunch. I can't wait to come back and try the sandwiches read more

Expensive. No dark meat. Just chicken tenders. The waffle was kind of soggy. Biscuits too busy.

Food is amazing.. really loved it all they are very friendly and welcome it was our first time and they really went out of there way to make us feel welcome read more

Holy frixj that chicken is good. The chicken made me want to get down on my knees and worship the chickens. the breading for chicken tenders was amazing. the service was quick and the guy that was doing orders was funny. the fries made me want a to eat a whole potato. goat or chicken read more

The fried chicken wings were terrible. The batter slipped off and revealed slippery skin. The wings were also under cooked. Despite this the folks on duty that day replaced my order with their chicken sandwich and that was okay but nothing to write home about. If you want good wings around town, unfortunately you need to go corporate and order at Wing Stop. Service = great Food = meh read more

The wife and I came by Jonesy's on our rare date night after wanting to come by for a while. Luckily we had a parking spot right away and promptly eas able to order our food. Quick service style was nice because we already had a good idea what to order. Food came out quickly and piping hot. Tenders have to be the juiciest ones I've ever eaten. We got the hot honey, jfc, and hot ranch sauces and all were great. The biscuits are soft and fluffy, not dry at all and the jam that comes with it was delicious. Will come back everytime we want some fried chicken. read more

Tried the 3 & 2 meal, the value is good and the flavors Pop! Classic buttermilk battered and fried chicken tenders had perfect balance of spice. Chicken was plump and sizable. It seemed the chicken may have been marinated? Very nice that it was served with thick, classic pickle rounds and a marinated Italian pepper - a welcome treat compared to the usual 'just for looks' condiment. The dipping sauces were fresh and full of flavor - so much better than typical fast food packets. read more

I love their food, BUT I really wish they would keep their hours current on their website. Driving all the way to Goleta from downtown SB only to arrive to a closed restaurant (they close at 7:00 on Friday, not 8:00!) is a big bummer. Won't stop me from coming back though! read more

Best buttermilk fried chicken in the Santa Barbara area! The portions are very generous. I ordered the wings and got a sample of the chicken fingers. The wings were jurassic size. Homemade comfort food at its best!! read more

This is a great hole in the wall place. We lucked out as it wasn't super crowded. Great location to get your food and take it to the beach to eat. Or if you get a seat in the small dining room you can enjoy it fresh and hot. Best chicken and waffles I've eaten on the central coast read more

Excellent food. My one negative comment, and probably just a personal thing, is that all the sides and sauces are TOO hot spicy! Need a cool choice like ranch too. Even the honey for the delicious biscuits was too spicy. Having said that, I will be back and will order carefully! read more

Quality ingredients, quality people and the hot peppers are so good you should get some to go.
