Delicious food, fresh and sizable quantities plus fast & friendly service, overall great experience!
I'm surprised to read so many negative reviews. I moved to the area last summer. Islands is one of my top favorite restaurants because of their burgers and tempura beans. I've been regularly coming over to this location, and I can see why people are so disappointed with the long wait time. As a former retail worker, I understand that being short on staff is no fun. Yes, it takes time to wait for the food. Yes, on weekends, you will have to wait to be seated. I guess it's all a matter of preference. I never had any issues with the food. And I'm ready to wait for good food. I've had a takeout once, and it took some time as well. I prefer the dine in.
Lots of parking. Great location. It wasn’t too busy when we showed up, Tuesday around 1 pm. Waited about 10 minutes before getting seated. The front hostess was attentive, and professional. Our waiter Justin was great. He was quick, helpful, friendly, and accurate with our orders. The restaurant looked clean, well organized, cool surfer Hawaiian theme decorations. Atmosphere is very welcoming and cool. Our food was really good, tasty, fries were nice and crunchy. But, I am definitely not a big fan of their ranch dipping sauce. The waiter said that it is made in-house. But I just didn’t like it much, mostly the texture of it, it was runny like if it was watered down (This is NOT the case though). My wife liked it, it was just me. Overall… definitely a good place to eat. Also, check out their happy hour!
