    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!

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Where's the beef? Big bun, lots of lettuce, onions and tomatoes, but little or no meat. This place will not become a Habit with us.

    I have been to The Daisy many times and I am never disappointed! The food is so fresh and flavorful…read moreand the portions are generous! My favorites are: The little gems salad with chicken added. You have to get the green goddess dressing! They make it in house and it's the bomb!! The bahn mi sandwich. It has house made tender brisket, fresh pickled veg on a baguette. So delicious! You can also get it as a salad! You'll never even miss the bread! The Daisy burger. Big meaty patty, with melty cheese, piled high with lettuce, tomato and red onion with a special sauce on a buttery brioche bun! You can really sink your teeth into this one! It also comes with a generous portion of perfectly crispy on the outside tender on the inside fries! Mmm mmm!!! They get really busy so come early!! Definitely a must try!

    The Daisy in Santa Barbara was a bit of a hit-or-miss visit for us…read more The restaurant itself is beautifully decorated, with plenty of outdoor seating, and is dog friendly, which is a big plus. You order at the counter and the food is brought over to your table. The service was friendly, though it could have been better--we had to get our own water, cutlery, and napkins and nobody came to check on us throughout the meal. Maybe that was because we came right at opening on the weekend. Food-wise, some dishes were better than others. The smoked brisket banh mi was disappointing, mainly because the brisket was chewy. The burrata-tomato salad with added chicken breast was good and felt fresh and satisfying. The chicken salad sandwich was okay, but the bread was too hard, which made it less enjoyable. On the positive side, my son really enjoyed the kids' grilled cheese sandwich with fries. Overall, The Daisy has a lovely atmosphere, and a great dog-friendly patio, but the food was a bit hit-or-miss during our visit.

And although restaurants need to make adjustments, those dining out, do also and want to get the value for their money spent. The service was nice and we have dinned at Nikka's for years. But the portions in food has gone way down. We ordered the fish n chips and the fish now looks like small fish sticks, the fries are such a small portions and the cole slaw is now in a sauce size container for what you get for a $20 meal. Now let's compare that with another local restaurant that has slightly raised their prices, but the quality and quantity has remained plus you get a view and great service (see pictures). Although, we try and support our small businesses, some restaurants have to consider what keeps the customers coming back where times may be challenging for them as well.

It feels expensive upfront but with portion sizes, it's a great deal. For a lighter meal, just share a sandwich and soup with a friend, a lover, whoever! The house lemonade and tea are delicious, with the lemonade being perfectly sweet and tart. Soup of the Day was French Onion, which is on the sweeter side, and comes with cheese and a crostini soaking up the broth. Onions are very nicely caramelized. It was tasty but the portion of this soup was a bit large for the intensity of the soup sweetness, almost like syrup after eating it enough. Any other soup - I'd be fine with the portion size. Partner's review of the BLT: "Plenty of bacon and toasted very nice on sourdough, the sourdough with the soup was balanced. I can tell they added a little bit of butter on the sourdough for the extra crunch. Vegetables - they're vegetables, FRESH though." I had The Griller, hot with provolone on a bolillo roll. Packed with flavor from the peppers and olives, plus all the meat protein was the bomb!

What is weird is that they looked so good!
