Island Delights Reviews
The burgers and sides we ordered were amazing!
We stopped at this little diner on a whim and it did not disappoint! We ate here several times on our recent vacation to Surf City. My three boys cannot stop talking about how amazing the burgers and onion rings were and my husband can’t stop raving about the relish on his burger! It was so much fun checking out all of the vintage decor and listening to music on the juke box! We wish so much we could eat here all the time or find a place just like it back home! We will be back...read full review
We took the whole family here for a delicious lunch! The burgers were full
Of flavor and juicy. The kids enjoyed looking at the oldies memorabilia on the walls. The service was friendly and fast too. We will definitely return.
