Me and my family used to love come here. This time was horrible. The attendant was rude and mean to us. When we finish the food they took 30 minutes to take the plates and offer the desert (wasn’t good like before btw). All employees keep talking and laughing and don’t give the tables attention. Las time we came!

Decent lunch for burgers and tacos. Our waitress was attentive and friendly. The design is open and attractive. Seating and loop of surfing, skiing/boarding and skate boarding are fun to watch ?

We love Islands and go there regularly for lunch or dinner! The food is consistently good and we love their tiki tenders, turkey burger, spinach dip, salads and fries. The service and atmosphere are both excellent too! We recently met a new manager, Abbas, who greets us warmly every time he sees us. We’re hooked!

My wife and I love going to Island's! The staff is friendly and the food is consistently good. We get great service and love the Tiki tenders, burgers and salads. Happy Hour is especially good and we love getting the spinach dip and Mai Tai's.. the atmosphere is like the name! Being at the beach.... We recently met the new manager, Abass, and he introduced himself and welcomed us. Just another reason to love this place!

We go to Islands regularly because they have consistently great service, atmosphere and food! The bartenders and servers are friendly and the restaurant is always clean. My husband loves the tiki tenders and I love the spinach dip! We both love the burgers (turkey burger for me) and salads. There are lots of TV's which makes it a great place to watch sports too! They recently got a new manager (Abbas) who always greets us warmly and helps out wherever needed. These things are the marks of an excellent restaurant!

Let me just say I'm a big burger person. Got the Malibu and man the bread tasted like it was freshly baked. Perfect patty. It was the best 10/10 going to be going here a lot more

The ambience is great and the service is good. Unfortunately the food is terrible. Even their chips and guacamole are bad. How do you screw up chips and guacamole? I take my kids there to eat and I just get a drink! My kids like the burgers, Mac n cheese (Kraft) and side of pineapple.

Their chicken wings, chile mangorita is really goo.. I enjoyed it so much! Abbas and Casey provided an exceptional great service during our time at the restaurant yesterday!! Abbas was very welcoming and friendly.. definitely me and my friends will come back again for our next get together.

I've been in the food business for a long time and this is the first time I've ever left a review. Legit had to make a yelp account for this. I had made a call for pick up and came in a little over 15 minutes later. It took another 10 minutes or so to get my food but when I got back to the car I noticed they forgot my sliders and ranch. Not a big deal but when I came back it took about 10 minutes for anyone to notice me because there wasn't anyone at the host area. They were friendly enough after getting everything figured out so I decided to grab a seat while I waited for my food. After making a mistake I would figure they would try to rush my order but in the 25 minutes I waited I watched a family of 3 and a baby walk in, get seated and then get their food before my sliders and ranch were ready. I'm didn't even mind that the sliders were dry but I really wished they could have showed a little compassion after making a mistake.

One of the better and most consistent burger chains. For over 20 years, through out CA.If you haven’t tried the Bleunami, you are missing a great combination.

I ha e not visited this chain because it always looked dated. Today we stopped in and we both were surprised with the entire place. Good food, quick service and at a reasonable price. We will be back and you should give it a shot.
