It was our 3rd time here this month. Food is good, drinks are delish and the staff is friendly/helpful! Those cheese fries and burgers are the best. We ordered the Mojito and the Long Island Iced Tea. Can't wait for our next visit.

Had a fantastic dinner at Islands with the hubby tonight, everything was incredible the service was on point, the server noticed and replaced my drink by the time I had finished it I already had a new one ready. The only thing to note was that the fries were stale but honestly? We didn't even care. The burgers, the artichoke dip and the bowl were incredible.
