4 for lunch today, 3 burgers and a patty melt. Hawaiian Burger with teriyaki and grilled pineapple was great...large and messy, but very good flavor. Fries were a little oversalted. Decent beer selection. Two of us had Firestone DBA. Service was excellent and attentive. Parking is easy, atmosphere is clean and pleasant.

Awesome food, great atmosphere, and even better service. I truly can't say one negative thing about Islands Santa Barbara. Food is always fantastic. Perfect every single time. Best fries in town. The atmosphere is fun and certainly has the surfer vibe. The service is beyond, BEYOND amazing. If you're looking for a fun chill spot to grab some food and hang out for a bit, go to Islands!

I was a little nervous of trying this Islands location because of the mixed reviews. I'm so glad we went. The food was great. We had the Toucan and our granddaughter had the Maui. These sandwiches were massive and glad we shared. The sweet potato fries were perfect. I wish I had taken pics of our food but it was so good, I devoured the whole thing before realizing. Our waitress was young and shy but attentive. Did I mention the food was amazing!!! Thanks Islands Santa Barbara. I'll be back for that lava cake.

What can I say- I love me some Islands...! I could eat a Shorebird any day anytime. Sadly, my neighborhood Islands closed. Now I take advantage of my frequent trips to Santa Barbara by stopping in for some delectable grub. This Islands is in a huge shopping center with ample parking. We were seated upon arrival and asked to be seated outside- because everyday in SB is beautiful. Even if you're facing the parking lot, you still get a view of the amazing mountains. Our outgoing, upbeat server Owen was so chill and on top of his game. He was ready to refill our refreshing Passion Iced Teas and bring extra napkins and pickles with a smile. We even had some fun football convo. My Aunt and I both ordered Shorebirds. She gets all the fixings, I take mine without Lettuce or tomatoes. As usual, I cut my sandwich in half as if I'm going to bring the other half home. Yeah right! Who am I kidding? I can't resist eating this whole thing at one sitting. It's always delicious in my opinion all the way to the last bite. Would have loved to have had room for Kona Pie, but we were too full in a good way. Thank you Islands for always being so yummy.

Good food, great staff. I just wish portions were smaller. I also wish they didn't use mixed field greens in their salads - cause I have an allergy.
