Finally, I had the opportunity to try islands out and tried the Hawaiian chicken sandwich and the mini burgers with fries. Both were really good, the food is good but a bit on the pricey side in my opinion but other than that I have no complaints.

The food is good packed with tons of flavor. I get the Hawaiian burger if not the longboader. Good spot to watch a game and of course have beers!

Some really bad servers. Some good ones. The bad outweigh the good with your overall experience. They give you attitude for asking for ranch. If your beer is warm don't ask for a cold one, you're gonna get the eye roll from hell. Love the food though :) will tough out the bad service for the good food.

Love this Islands!! My partner & I come here often for the bottomless tortilla soup and a Kilauea burger, and it's always delicious! The service is usually fast, and the staff are always super kind. Our favorite Islands.

My friends and I went into the bar to have appetizers and drinks, but for some reason they think that the louder the music, the better the bar. We couldn’t speak with each other so we all left. We went to El Torito instead. Maybe try turning down the music a little bit - music so loud that you can’t speak to each other doesn’t make for a great atmosphere.

The restaurant stinks old or like a chicken coop, I ordered a pina colada and it tasted like a medicine…. and I paid for a meal that I didn't eat and it wasn't

Why don't biologists trust atoms ? Because they make up EVERYTHING. Are you looking for a restaurant that serves more than beef and buns? A place that touches your soul, ignites your spirit, and drives you to be more successful? Look no further than Islands. My favorite place to eat at since I was born at a young age, this Islands is actually a weekly pilgrimage when I'm not studying the secretory pathway and BiP chaperones (My midterm is Thursday). My actual go-to are the cheese fries. A daily must. Imagine this, picture this, ponder this... a symphony of flavors. They dance on your taste buds like beauty and the beast. Golden, crisp, deliciously flavorful fries with the perfect blend of cheese to fries ratio. As you take your first bite (after dipping in ranch), everything goes quiet for a second. Time freezes. Nothing else matters. The cheese, with its gooey goodness, clings to the fries like a cuck clings to the woman he desperately wants, but can never have. You feel enveloped in a warm embrace. You are taken on a culinary adventure, but you are the guide. You navigate through the sensations, savoring every moment of delicious pleasure. As you finish the fry, you're greeted with another. The journey starts all over again. The tikki tenders... as close to perfection as my GPA. I cannot stress enough how delicious they are. Describing them using words from the English language doesn't do justice. For that matter, I'm convinced no language in the world has the proper vocabulary to accurately describe just how deliciously delicious they taste. Possibly I must find an alien civilization, ask to teach me their language, and then possibly finally have the right words to describe them. My mouth salivates just by writing this review. I'm currently studying to be a physician one day and am very far away from the nearest islands location. I'm tempted to drop out, take out a PPP loan, and just move back home so I can enjoy my meal every day. You know what they say, Finance majors are just failed STEM majors!

Looked for a quick family meal recently and so disappointed with every dish at Islands. We ordered tacos with filled with lettuce, two small pieces of meat and half a slice of avocados. Quesadillas with one slice of cheese, watery tortilla soup with stale chips. The service was good but that's where it ended - not sure what happened to this once iconic family restaurant.
We have consistently had a good experience with service and food at this location even when they get extremely busy.

I've been coming to this location for many years whenever my daughter wanted nachos or burgers. This review is for my takeout order. My favorite is the Hawaiian burger which comes with w slice of pineapple, tomato, onion and teriyaki sauce. I like to order it with a side of onion rings and Dr. Pepper or Rootbeer. Everything was yummy

Had Sunday lunch with my buddy and had such excellent service by our waitress Isabella. As soon as we sat she greeted us with a warm smile and began to take our drink and food order as we knew what we wanted and were hungry. We tend to drink a lot so before I had to even ask she had a refill on the table, napkins, and was constantly checking in to make sure we were good. Now as soon as the food got there same thing. Being Sunday it's very busy but she made it fill as she was attending to just us because she was so attentive. I always appreciate excellent customer service and let her know that before we left and wanted to write my thoughts on this review. Thank you for the great service and keep up the good work!
