Islands Restaurant Foothill Ranch

Island Restaurants currently offers new reward members a FREE coupon to redeem an order of chips, salsa and guacamole after joining their rewards program, and I’ve never tried them before so I’m glad I got a ‘taste’ of what they have!

When I first went inside, the atmosphere looked like a Tiki Lounge with bamboo and island decor. It was pretty cool. The host (I didn’t catch her name) helped me with my pick-up order quickly snd friendly.

I’d say the salsa was really good with the chips and the guacamole had a nice taste to it that wasn’t too overbearing for me. (Im still new to the ‘guac game’ and am slowly acquiring its taste) so this was a great treat for me.

I’d definitely try Island Restaurants’ entrees and desserts in a sit-down setting the next time around.

Stopped in for lunch today. We sat at a high top in the bar area. Dillon was our amazing server and was professional, kind and knowledgeable. We started with drinks and the nachos. Very good 👍. I had a chicken bowl and my wife had a chicken salad.
The food was good and service great.
Highly recommended

We stopped in today Islands at Foothill Ranch for lunch and decided to sit at the bar Hightower. We started with Mai Tai drinks. Zoey was our server/bartender and was friendly and efficient. My wife had the chicken nachos and I had the Toucan chicken sandwich. Everything was perfect and hit the spot. The ambiance was positive and uplifting. Highly recommended.

They did it again. I was 1 minute away and it said low price. When I arrived, I checked again then was regular price. Tesla has been doing this with their supercharger locations. I'm not happy with it at all.

Great place for a drink.

Islands is the best

I was so happy they have Turkey Burgers now! Yay

I ordered the buffalo wings. They were okay. not tossed but just sauce poured on top. My bf had no complaints on his Toucan sandwich. Flight of drinks was good. Our waitress was nice. However, they only took our plates and never our cups. It was weird because I had all the cups lined up hoping our waitress would get them out of the way but only came to get the plate out of the way. With them lined up like that.

The hostess and server were great. I was talking about a college game on TV, and the server said, "No problem. I'll put that on for you." She did it immediately. The burgers were fantastic, and the service was perfect.

Lost my airpods pro at this restaurant, i tracked them for 2 weeks straight and noticed they were located at the restaurant or at some apartment in santa ana, so i figured an employee found them so i called and spoke with the manager, ofcourse they were never found and the airpods stopped showing at this location ever since, check who you hire guys!!
