Have come here many times and the food is very good. However on this encounter the waitress was very rude and not welcoming. Also took a long time for anyone to take our order.

The Islander is a great, classic, diner! The staff is friendly, the food is good, and the atmosphere is classic. I recommend the 'Stinky' burger.

I gave them 1 stars instead of 1 because they were one of the few places on the island open for lunch. That said, the fish and chips contained very little actual fish, and that cod was frozen rather than fresh. like the ferries, they only take cash. If you’re passing through, just plan to eat on either side of this island, or if not, skip this place. Bring lots of cash if you try it.

We arrived shortly before 3 and they were nice enough to let us in even though the kitchen was about to close. The absolute BEST burger I have ever had. I got the western burger and it was incredible. Service was friendly and fun. We loved everything about this quaint, local “un-Hamptony” spot. Brought me back to the good ole days of East End life. Too bad places like these are disappearing out east.

Nice stop for a bite, but be sure to order fries or rings as they don't come with your sandwich.

Always good food and friendly service. Favorites: Fried chicken (so good and sometimes runs out), shrimp tacos, buffalo wings, burgers. Nice outdoor seating area and dog friendly. Consistent part of our rotation when on the island. Cash only or Venmo. Strongly recommend.

Great food and service. I loved my eggs and pancakes. I really like that the waitress let me have more eggs in place of bacon. Nice sunny place to eat.
