The service was quick and courteous. The food was pretty good and the portions aren't too bad and very filling. If you come with another person you'll be safe ordering just one side of fries. I had the Mountain Climber, which was pretty good except the fact that the lettuce was a huge blob. I had to take it out and eat it as a side. The stinky pig fries were really good, but I think if given the choice I'd probably order a side of guac on top if it's possible. It's a bit too dry and I'm not a fan of ranch since it overpowers the other flavors. One thing of note though is that even when the fries came to room temperature they were still really good to eat. read more

Traveling up from down south and decided to stop at Kyle's as we've been here before. The chicken sandwich was bland and lackluster and the burger was okay, the best part was the shoestring onions! Overall not GREAT, but not terribly bad either! read more

Literally my four year old son's favorite restaurant. He wants to come here all the time. It's a good thing my wife and I both like it too! We bring family and friends here when they visit because it is very casual, good quality, inexpensive, has a great beer selection, and it's walking distance from our home. read more

I had a wonderful experience with this location. The cashier Pat was very cheerful and helpful which made my experience a pleasant one. My food was very tasty and was made very quickly. I ordered pick up and the food was ready when I got there(10 min). Overall, they have great staff, food, prices, and service. I will definitely be coming back in the future. read more

Service was slow and parking sucks. Let's get the worst out of the way. I put in an online order at 6:00; didn't get it until 6:40. They may have been busy with dinner service. I arrived and asked about online pickups; I gave the guy at the front register my name and he says, "We'll call you when it's ready" Call me when it's ready!? It should've been ready 10 minutes ago. 2 minutes later another lady asks my name and goes and gets my burger (already cooked); takes her sweet time to get me some fries and I finally get my food. She apologized for the wait but what urked me the most was the first guy who seemed indifferent that people might actually want their food fresh and hot. Maybe I was keeping him from his smartphone... I dunno. I walk back to my car eating my freshly made fries.... "Mmmm, these are good", things are improving. I sit down and unwrap my now lukewarm burger and take a bite... Hey, it's pretty doggone good considering it's not as fresh as it could be. I ordered the Mountain Climber (without the lettuce, as another reviewer suggested) and wolfed it down. This is as good as any burger I've had that has cost twice as much. I might have to double up on the meat and cheese next time because it didn't last long. Fries portions are easily enough for 2 people. I give this place 4 stars here; though realistically it was a 3.5. I think the key take-away is don't order online during dinner hours. But I definitely want to come back. There's no doubt this is a fine establishment worth many more visits. read more

Always top notch service every time I go! The staff are always so nice and helpful, especially when it comes to allergies and dietary restrictions. I don't eat red meat, so the veggie options are the only ones I've tried, but they are super delicious! Also I have watched the others I've gone with eat their meaty burgers with gusto, so as far as I have seen and heard, all parties have been happily sated! read more

Any part of this place alone would be enough to deserve five stars. They make their buns here daily and I would eat those by the bucketful if I had the stomach for it. All of their portions are decent sized and their milkshakes and fries are great. The kids' menu is fairly basic but very customizable and the service here is super fast and friendly. The price point is great, too--a burger, fries and a soda are 9 dollars for much higher quality than fast food. There's a big chalkboard for little ones to write on and a really open vibe to the restaurant. Not to mention the fact that the cause for this makes my heart sing. I highly recommend this place. You really can't go wrong here. read more

Gotta Love Kyle's! We eat here at least once a week. Something for everyone.

Super convenient to the hotel I was staying at. The milkshake and fries were delicious. They accommodated my request to leave sprouts off the Earth Burger, which was also good. Very reasonably priced. Plenty of seating inside and outside. read more

I really enjoyed quinoa salad and tomato basil soup! Food was really fresh and tasty. The place has a nice and casual ambience for lunch. I would definitely visit again! read more

When you're looking for a simple yet delicious meal, we definitely recommend Kyle's Kitchen. Their menu is varied with healthy options and delicious burgers. We recommend the Mountain Climber! It's spicy and delicious. We have definitely missed their happy hour specials and can't wait to go back after this quarantine is all over! read more

Food was great sadly my son found a hairin hisburger overall the food is worth the price

Probably the tastiest hamburger ive had and believe ive had a few. The mountain climber burger paired with the kicking cowboy salad was awesome. They warn ou that the salad is spicy and believe them it is with jalapenos in it but mixed with everything in the salad it's a good spice. I had a craft beer with my meal that made it a perfect meal. If you're in the area give it a try you won't be disappointed. read more

Kyle's Kitchen - Mountain climber with kicking cowboy salad - Salad Near Me - Goleta, California

Not only is the food good, are the prices very reasonable, and is the environment tons of fun, but each time you eat at Kyle's Kitchen you are helping raise money for an incredible non-profit organization. I highly recommend the Thai peanut salad, the earth burger, and the ice cream sandwiches. read more

Two Words: Klassic Kyle This burger was juicy and perfectly cooked. I even ate all the fries and I usually don't order fries. Next time, I will have to write on the chalboard Come check this place out! read more

I like the food, but I don't know if I would go back. The 3 stars are all for the food. It was a good burger (although the patty was a bit on the small side), I wasn't crazy about the fries but I don't normally eat them. The lemonade was great. The price was also far. In my opinion where they lost two stars was in how they handle takeout orders. I was on my lunch break and I wanted to order ahead, they have an online ordering option but their site is not secured and personally I don't like putting my card into sites like that. There was no option to pay when I got there or anything like that. So I tried to call in my order, I was informed that they do not take phone orders. This was hugely incontinent for me but by this time I really wanted a burger. So I walked in and spent half my lunch waiting. It took that long to just get a word in with the manager about the ordering policy... I was just told sorry we don't do it. I get they have lost money in the past but It will also likely mean I won't be going back. read more

I was honestly pretty surprised by the price and taste of this place. I got the mountain climber burger for less than $7 and it was pretty fire. I was in a rush and wasn't too hungry so I ended up ordering just the burger, but it definitely kinda hooked me so I'll be back to try what else Kyle's offers and potentially upgrade my review to 5 stars read more

Total disappointment. I had the Klassic Kyle burger ... While the bun was good (not great), the burger was poor. The meat was reminiscent of one of those thin frozen patties. No flavor and barely there, to make up for it they load on the lettuce, some mediocre tomato, etc.. At least the pickle on the burger was good. The fries were tasty. The bright spot was the freshly squeezed lemonade. Excellent. Maybe other things there are good, but the claim "great burgers" is utterly false. read more

I was excited to try Kyle's because burgers are among my favorite foods. While I really liked the atmosphere, the food had room for improvement. We got the "cheesy pig" burger (bacon added to the classic cheeseburger), and though it was tasty, the burger patty was TINY. If a restaurant sells itself as a burger place, I think it's only fair to expect big delicious burgers-- this was not the case. I felt like the patty belonged in a child's burger. I think the philanthropic element to Kyle's is awesome, and their fresh lemonade (had the cucumber) was wonderful, but next time I'm craving a burger I'd be much more inclined to head to Eureka. read more

First time at Kyle's Kitchen and it was decent. Pro's: Fresh baked brioche bun, light and fluffy. Hand leafed iceberg lettuce. $5 burgers, fair price. Double the meat for $1.50 more. At peak lunch rush, line went fast and food came out in a fair amount of time. Nice decor, clean. Support local not for profit charities. Locally owned business. Love that the owner responds to the reviews. Shows engagement and that he really cares. Con's: Burger / meat seems on the skimpy size, if it's a 1/4 lb, I'd be surprised. Condiments weren't especially flavorful on my burger. I had the Mountain Man which has Pepper Jack, Jalepeno & fried onion strings with Jalepeno mayo, couldn't really define any of the flavors. Fries were slightly warm, not super hot. Beer (Fig Mtn Hoppy Poppy) seemed a bit off tasting. Overall, a welcome addition to the Goleta eating scene. I wasn't blown away by the food yet, but overall it's a good value. I'd go back to try another burger and double up on the protein next time. Suggestion: Order numbers are on the small size and low, so the food runners may have a tough time seeing them. I watched my order take a lap through the restaurant and patio which may have resulted in my fries cooling off in the minute or two that took. If they switch to something a little larger & taller it might be easier for the servers to scan the room and get the food to patrons a bit quicker. Kids will dig this place! If you have a family, take 'em! read more

Pros: nice, lively atmosphere inside, fast service, friendly employees, brioche hamburger buns, portion of proceeds helps special needs kids Cons: $5 for a cheeseburger with skinniest hamburger patty we've ever seen, nothing super tasty about the burger, $3 fries in a small container (like In and Out Burger) but very small portion and somewhat soggy We SO wanted to like this place, but it is way too much money for what you get. Would rather go to In and Out Burger, where the fries are $1.60 and generously filled, and the cheeseburger is a little over $2.00. Looks like they have good salads on the menu, but don't recommend the burgers or fries unless you want to spend well over $8 for a "fast food" lunch. read more

I've eaten at Kyles many times and it has rarely disappointed. The burgers and salads are freshly made and delicious. Hamburger buns and rolls are homemade and taste so much better than commercial versions. Portions are big enough for my boyfriend and plenty for me (I often take half of mine home for another meal). Service is usually great. I've only had a problem once with trying to call in an order. I had my dog in the car and staff was too busy to take my order over the phone, forcing me to leave the car and go into the restaurant to order. Understandable though with the Covid 19 situation! read more

LOVE LOVE LOVE THEIR SALADS!!! It is my third time going here. Food is always fresh and delicious. Food is always fast and workers are really respectful and attentive. The Coconut Lavender Lemonade is a MUST TRY!!!! So delicious!!! read more

This place is great! I heard about it from a friend who lives nearby and when he said it was open today, I had to give it a try! I love the decor with the wood wall and the chalkboard was a lot of fun. The kids that were there all had fun playing on it. But what really stood out was the food! Wow, my burger was perfectly cooked and tasty as could be. I mean, how can you go wrong with something called the "Cheesy Pig"!?!? I went with a classic wedge salad as mu side and it did not disappoint. Fantastic blue cheese dressing that you can tell they make from scratch. I'd recommend it as a lunch place for anyone in the area. read more

One of my favorite burgers on the south coast, probably 2nd to Eureka but not as pricey and a little more family friendly. Everything is good here, I love the Bacon and Egg burger, my wife loves the "Quinoa Keen-what?" salad. My super picky 4 year old declares this her favorite burger, whatever that means. Beer on tap is good and seating is good. Could use more indoor seating but love this place. read more

Ordered the bacon-and-egg burger and I was able to switch out the egg for avocados at no extra charge! The burger was delicious and flavorful and the bun was the perfect amount of crispy. The fries, however, seemed very greasy. Maybe it's because I took my food to-go, but it looked and tasted soggy by the time I got back home. Still good though! Finally, the chocolate malt shake. So good that I finished before I got home, but not worth the price. It cost $4 for a small cup that isn't even filled to the top. It was about 75% shake and 25% whipped cream. Will have to come back and try the soup and salads! read more

I am still on the fence about Kyle's. I have had the same thing twice.. a Kyle burger with fries. The first time the burger was delicious. The buns are phenomenal. However the fries were on the cold and soggy side. The second time the fries were delicious and the burger was sub par. It was still good but the patty was very small. I will give it another try and see how it evens out. I do like that they give back to the community. read more

Kyle's Kitchen - Burger and fries - Salad Near Me - Goleta, California

Where's the beef!?! Burger place that is very reminiscent of sliver greens. Their burger taste alright, but there's just a lack of everything except the bun. I got a burger with the extra patty option. The meat was so small and the bun was so big, I had to search through to make sure they actually gave me meat... I got a burger with ranch on it and I could see the gentle swap of it on the top bun. Let's get serious, you know in your heart that's not a legit serving of ranch. I ate my burger and left hungry. read more

Kyle's Kitchen is the newest eatery in Goleta, CA. It's some of the best food I've had in a long time, everything is fresh & made to order. There's a very nice outdoor patio for dining as well as inside. The best part about Kyles kitchen is a percentage of their proceeds are donated to special education. Kyle is a little doll that warmly greets you with a hug. His mom, dad and sisters can be found at the restaurant also. They are into health conscious eating. If you haven't tried Kyles Kitchen be sure you put it on your list of eateries. We highly recommend this great place! read more

Love their ahi burgers in particular. But order ahead -- they are very slow with all the online orders these days...

Great Variety, Helps me when I want a good affordable meal that is better quality! Staff is super friendly! They care a lot about your experience! read more

The restaurant alone would get 4 stars, but the cause it's serving bumps it to 5-star territory. If your cold, black heart doesn't care about supporting a worthy cause, feel free to reduce one star in how you interpret this review. I've gotten a few different dishes here, and they're all pretty good. The burgers aren't anything out-of-this-world amazing, but they're definitely solid and taste good. The chicken sandwich is AWESOME here, though, and I'd go out of my way to say that if you're into a chicken sandwich, you'll probably like this place! I was fairly disappointed in the fries, though -- which isn't a dealbreaker, but it's a little upsetting. If you've ever been to Silvergreens (Kyle's Kitchen's sister restaurant), the fries are exactly the same. If you like those things, you'll like the ones here. In my opinion, they're a little too herb-encrusted, sometimes undercooked, greasy, and sometimes cold. Even more upsetting, the specialty fries (Stinky Pig with blue cheese and bacon, Fire Fries with jalapeno and cheese) are expensive and leave a LOT to be desired. I prefer the plain old herb fries -- which I don't even like -- to those, as tempting as they may be. Kyle's Kitchen is often crowded, so be prepared to sit at the tables outside if you don't want to wait around for a table or booth. It's nice out there most of the time, although the parking lot is often hectic. Eat good, do good. Go to Kyle's Kitchen. read more

It really takes a lot for me to try a new place ( 'specially burger joints ) , but the family & I were extremely satisfied. Great atmosphere where the kids can be a bit louder than normal , and the chalk wall is a great idea for adults and kids alike. Decent seating area inside with larger patio seating out front. Also ,Kyle's each month teams up with a special needs organization donating a portion of their proceeds to their cause ( AWESOME ! ) The Order : Burgers : char-broiled,juicy & VERY tasty. I recommend "doubling up" since the patties are thinner than most places. The Brioche buns are awesome! Even though we doubled up, the burgers were still very light & satisfying. I ordered the "Bacon & Egg burger" ( GRUB ! ) & the Wife ordered "The Cheesy Pig" which is your classic bacon cheeseburger. Fries : natural thin cut with skins kinda like In&Out's ( but not ). Not too heavy on the grease & seasoned nicely. Salads : I ordered the Thai Peanut salad ( sm ). had good flavor , but I drowned mine in extra peanut sauce ;-). Wife had the Wedge. Basic classic Wedge salad. Greens and veggies were crisp and fresh on both dishes. Shakes : we all shared the "birthday Cake" and "Fat Guerilla " shakes. The Fat Guerilla was awesome , while the BDcake needed a bit more cake batter flavoring (suggestion : maybe hit up Coldstone to stock their "cake batter" favor (yum) for your shakes ) Alcohol :I ordered a Hoppy Poppy 'nuff said We will deffffffffinitely be back. read more

Very good food. Order grilled chicken sandwich it was fresh and loved the fries too. Great fresh, tasty food. read more

I absolutely love the cause and the added boost they give to the community! The salads are super yummy and very generous portion size (I recommend adding rosemary chicken). The burgers however are a bit small and could use more sauce. I also wish you didn't have to order fries separately but they are so delicious that I still cave most of the time and add them on anyways! read more

The burgers are kind of pricey for a casual joint but nonetheless, I did enjoy my burger. The fries were well-seasoned to my liking. I really liked the way the restaurant was set-up - very casual feel but modern and up-to-date. Would go here for an occasional burger. read more

Kyle's Kitchen - Just plain Klassik Kyle tonight - Salad Near Me - Goleta, California

Tried the Kyle's classic burger combo. It was average, the bun is so huge it makes the meat patty look dinky and what's up with all the herbs on the fries? Just give us the best fries you can make minus the gimmicks. Price was too expensive, it was around $10.50 for a combo for a single (thin) patty! You can get a double cheeseburger combo at better places for much less. I'd be ok if the massive sized bun came with a massive sized meat patty. So I went to the soda fountain and the root beer came out watery. So I switched to Dr Pepper and nothing but water came out. Then I went to the restroom and there are no paper towels (just hand blowers), so after you wash your hands you're forced to touch the door handle - just what you want right before eating finger foods. Why don't these places provide towels with a trash can next to the door, so we can open the door with the towel then toss it in the trash on the way out? read more

I think it's a great thing that this place is helping out people who really need it. It's awesome. Service was also extremely friendly and prompt! Unfortunately the food was very disappointing, coming from the people at silver greens I was expecting much more. I ordered the the Mountain climber burger. The burger for being for extremely thin it was still managed to be undercooked. Not medium rare, RARE. For a restaurant that does not ask for temps, this is not the way to serve it. The meat was also lacking flavor and seasoning. The bun was decent but overpowered by blandness between them. I ordered the fire fries which also came out undercooked, soggy, an with the appearance and consistency of being microwaved to melt the small amount of cheese in the middle. The "fire" aspect was just a few slices of jalepeno sprinkled on top. Will never come back. read more

This place is a cool little burger, salad, milkshake place. They also serve beer :) I had a Cesar salad with chicken. Eh it was. Average. I mean...it's a Cesar salad. The hubby had the double stacked mountain climber with fire fries. He said it was good. We also split a milkshake and a pizza cookie. It was good. Have been here a few times. Good fresh food. Will be back. read more

See all

I got horrible food poisoning from either the veggie burger or the ceasar salad. Within 30 minutes the food felt like a rock in my stomach, and within an hour I was sick to my stomach. I won't go into further detail, but it was one of the worst bouts of food poisoning I have ever experienced. I'm sure the food is typically good, but beware. read more
