“Islands is one of those iconic chain restaurants that has truly stood the test of time, consistently delivering mouthwatering dishes that keep customers coming back for more. Our experience was made even better by our server, Nina, who was simply fantastic. She made sure we had everything we needed, seamlessly enhancing our dining experience.

We kicked things off with a heaping plate of nachos, and let me tell you, they were a game-changer. Picture crispy chips generously smothered in gooey melted cheese, topped with fresh tomatoes, zesty jalapeños, a dollop of sour cream, creamy guacamole, and a side of flavorful salsa. Each bite was a delight, especially with the extra cheese that pooled on the plate, perfect for scooping up with the bottom chips.

The drinks were nice and cold, hitting the spot. Then came our two burgers, cooked to perfection—juicy and full of flavor. And what better way to wrap up such a delicious meal than with a rich, decadent mud pie? It was the cherry on top of an already fantastic experience.

With impeccable service, scrumptious food, and prices that won’t break the bank, Islands continues to impress—making it a must-visit spot for any burger lover!

Vegetarian options: Almost every menu item can be made vegetarian.

Parking: The oversized parking lot is shared with the other businesses. But there always seems to be enough parking spaces.“

“The hidden gem in the desert. Almost drove by and didn't noticed it, but so glad I did. Burgers are made fresh like everything they serve, not frozen or microwaved. On way to Rancho Cucamonga from Vegas, stopped and ordered a breakfast burrito. It was great, so I stopped by on the way back to Vegas for a late lunch. Burger, fries & shake were the best. Highly recommend to anyone traveling thru. A+“

“I haven't been to Chili Coast Burgers in over a decade. College, marriage, kids, the time flies. That first bite this evening was like taking a step back to Little League. The same quality, quantity, everything was immaculate.
Mine and my wife's burger was PERFECT the onion rings were top notch, the price was incredibly reasonable.
With confidence I can say that Chili Coast Burgers has not changed since I was a teen and that is the highest compliment I can imagine, in a world where every other place has seen quality tank.
We will be back, probably soon. Everyone in Vista needs to wake up and head on over, there is a reason they are still around, you WILL NOT be disappointed!“

Recommend!“
