Half of the restaurant is empty but I am waiting over 25 minutes so far because they don't have enough servers... Horrible management. Just move to smaller space??

The fried fish tacos have been by far my favorite lately, plus a nice icy Coors light on a hot day after baseball. Staff is always helpful!

I eat at Islands about once a month. Most of the time the food and service is very good. Today my server was excellent. The food was okay. The cheese fries were not hot and fresh when they were delivered to my table. My well done burger was a little pink. The restaurant was clean and the atmosphere was inviting. I would still recommend this Islands.

The Hawaiian burger is the best, the teriyaki sauce is just right. Sweet potatoe fries are very good. Always loved the atmosphere and service at Islands.

I am not understanding this particular location's 3 1/2 stars. Makes no sense. When you walk into THIS store, the management and staff are genuinely glad to see you. I mean, that's the vibe *I* and my g-son got. From Dean Fry, a splendiferous manager who happens to be from Axross the Pond™, to our servers at various times, Matthew, and Angie, et al, this place has nothing but love for walk-ins. Service is brisk and attentive. The hazy IPA on tap, rec'ed by Matthew, is da kine, brah...Fries, well-done, are my go-to when I'm peckish, and they are always a home-run...I alwaaays get my same tabe in the back (nooot so faaast, ain't divulging the #) and it is always a chill and very pleasant groove when I am there...Islands is my new (local) happy place, and i WILL see Dean and Co. again and again. Kind and attentive service has gone the way of the dodo in 21st century America, folks, so experience it HERE whilst you can! The Wildman has spoken....

I visited your location in Fullerton today for Happy Hour to celebrate my retirement and was very disappointed. After waiting at the bar for almost 20 minutes without anyone offering to take our order or check to see if we want any drinks, we left. I've been going to this islands for over 10 years! So disappointing Many of my friends also will not be going , all locals

The food was excellent. I love the mango IPA and chicken wings. There was a bit of a wait, but the hostess was very sweet and nice, and it made my daughter and I want to stay.

Islands has such a fun ambiance, it makes me feel like I'm visiting Hawaii, taking me on a tropical getaway whenever I eat here. My kids absolutely love it and get excited when we come here- their favorites are the fries, the chicken wings and of course the desserts!! They have some health options when I'm in a healthy mood or some of my favorite guilty pleasures like the spicy Kilauea burger and the most delicious margaritas. I also love the craft beer flight and the spin dip. The management here is the best - always providing great service and taking care of the customer. The staff is friendly and service driven and the manager Dean always comes by to make sure we are having a great experience. Definitely recommend!
