Nice atmosphere with great staff! I got a chocolate malted cruch shake with malt and it was amazing! Super creamy and not too sweet! I also got the spicy chicken avo with fries and I couldn't stop eating it! I was a little sad it wasn't very spicy, despite the jalapeños, but would totally order it again.
The food was delicious! Had the Kyle burger and fries and it was so fresh and hot! Definitely a place you should try! We'll certainly be back soon!
Caroline’s review: They have delicious strawberry lemonade! Their fries are delicious but their onion rings are a little strange - the onion rings are really thing and not ring shaped, just call them fried onions rather than onion rings. The kids chicken sandwich is delicious and tastes best with only ranch! The ranch is delicious - unlike store bought ranch! They have a cool chalkboard that you can draw on while waiting. You don’t have to bring your own chalk, they have a cup of chalk that anyone can use! Emily’s review: Their jalapeño ranch is the most wonderful thing I’ve ever tasted!! It’s AMAZING! (If you like jalapeño and if you like ranch) I love love LOVE their kickin’ cowboys salad - it comes with jalapeño ranch and jalapeños. The jalapeño ranch comes on the side so you can add as much as you want. I personally ask for extra ranch because I LOVE their jalapeño ranch. They have great vegetarian options - you can swap out their meat patty for a veggie patty in any burger. I love the mountain climber burger because it has jalapeños and onion strings - YUM! I also customize it be asking them to add jalapeño ranch to the burger. SO GOOD! Their fire fries are great and also come jalapeño ranch!
Great attitudes , patient, respectful, peaceful atmosphere, great tasting food, great tasting milkshake and filling fries much appreciated keep it up people thank you for a great meal and positive and understanding experience, also the fact that Kyle's kitchen donates towards great causes each month is amazing.
Im going to give this place a “D” for Delicious and Delightful. The food was so good. My twin sons devoured their food didn’t share. My wife had the Cob Salad, I had the Burger and Thai Salad. Yuuuuummy. A must visit.
Best Burger Spot in SoCal! Was visiting the area with a friend and I remarked by how fresh everything tasted, right amount of seasonings (most places either overdo it or under-do it), AND great ranch?! I’m forever coming here when I return. Jalapeño Ranch is the BEST! Staff were friendly. Love that they are community oriented and give back to local organizations. 5/5 stars is well deserved!
My friend told me about this place and I'm so glad she did! I got the California sandwich with a drink and fries. The bread was delicious. The chicken was cooked perfectly. The fries were just the right amount of crispy with great flavor. I brought my mom today for lunch and she got the spicy chicken sandwich (I forget the name but it had jalapeños) and she loved it! We'll definitely be back.
Delicious food with a mission! The crispy/spicy chicken sandwich had a great texture. They nail the little details like a good sauce or griddling the bun. Gabe was especially friendly with the whole family and made it a great experience!
Not only was the food good but I absolutely love how they show all the places they donate to for special needs! I have a cousin with special needs, her sisters are both special needs teachers and her part time caregiver, and my mom was a bus driver for special needs kids. That alone gives this place a spot in my heart! Next time I'm in this area I'll definitely stop in! We are from Michigan and my husband is out here for work. This was the perfect lunch spot! So glad this place was recommend to us!
This place is nice! I had the Slider combo, with I believe the avo burger slider and Korean BBQ slider. Both were good, but the Korean BBQ was my very favorite. A great flavor on the chicken, cooked well, and the pickles were the cherry on top. Their fries surprised me: they were very crispy, seasoned, and thin (I prefer thin fries personally). My girlfriend got the grilled cheese and tomato soup, which she said was very good. Great food and nice place!
