“ We were greeted right away, and sat quickly, our server was friendly and nice and got our drinks and took our order correctly. I had the kilahuea burger was cooked well and had good spice to it. Fries cooked well done with a decent amount of seasoning added. Restaurant was bright colorful, had tvs with sports playing ”
“ Love this islands, I've been dining here for over 30+ years and the shorebird tastes the same as it was in the 90's - just a lot more expensive. Once I went as a kid and now I go with my kids! I'll be a regular for years to come - never change never sell ”
“ Vegan options!!!! Our waiter was excellent. I asked him about the vegan options and he was able to make it happen. It's extremely loud in here, but it's not unbearable. You're able to have your own conversation at your table. They have big screen TVs in every corner with different movies on. I ordered the fish tacos with the plant base patty and avocado no chipotle cream sauce. It came with three tacos. They were very filling. Also ordered onion rings and a cup of hot water, I have my own teabag. They do have coffee decaf, but only dairy base creamer. I remembered my Yelp after I ate the onion rings sorry but they were amazing ”
“ We went there to use the rewards my son got. This restaurant kindly collaborate with Field elementary school to give free meal for those kids who got an award. Staff are super nice and friendly. Service was pretty fast. My son got a kid meal and i got a burger (forgot the name but kinda expensive one). It was so tasty and special. ”
“ It's been minute since I been to this spot. It was lunch and I was looking for a no frills burger. Decided to go here on a whim after remembering that it wasn't so bad the last time I was at Islands. Well, I'm glad I did as they have a really good lunch special. It's a double patty burger with a basket of fries. Only 11.99. Not a bad price at all for what you're getting. Can't speak for the rest of the menu, but this special is a value buy for sure. Patties were well seasoned, and the buns were toasty and crisped on the patty side. Definitely a solid, no frills burger. Not too big. Not too small. Exactly what I was hoping for. ”
“ Fantastic experience. Had weekday lunch special $11.99 Double Beef Patty Melt & Fries. Excellent quality, asked for Blue Cheese Dressing for my fries, so good. Also added raw onion & tomato to sandwich, so good. Got Mango Passionfruit Agua Fresca Delicious!!! Server let me try Pineapple Dragonfruit one, pretty pink color, tasted all pineapple, also good. But Mango Passion all the way, free refills!!! ”
