Mandarin salad, chow mein and Kailua pork
Michelle L.

The men are working really hard. I would say it's rough having only 4 guys run the grill, cash register and takeout during the peak dinner time so you can imagine the wait can build up when a bunch of people show up. The chow mein, Kailua pork and salad were all pretty good. The salad was surprisingly fresh and the Kailua pork was tender with the cabbage sitting in good flavor. Pizza looked ginormous! But we didn't get to try it.

Multiple takeout orders left and behind lines of food undelivered

Everything can improve. Terrible service, should be totally a quick bite. We came in during the time of a concert so ofc it's gonna be busy but it cleared out quickly. Took so long that everyone basically left without getting their full order. Been waiting for an 1 hour and a half, mind you, server said she would check after constantly asking and having to get up + she never did. Ambiance completely ruined so doesn't even matter. Manager didn't even help just pushed chairs in.

Watching this mess of a casino restaurant. Ordered over 45 minutes ago, still no food, the staff is doing absolutely nothing. It's super loud from the club next door. This used to be a great place for a quick bite to eat but no longer. On the bright side the pizzas are huge! Now up to an hour still no food. Asked for a refund can't figure out how to do that, so here we sit. What a horrible experience!!!! 1 hour 20 minutes finally food arrived, looks good but would never wait for this again! Oh it was just 2 burgers, nothing that should have been difficult.

Plain chicken wings
Mayte C.

Enough variety on the menu that there is something for everyone. The service is always friendly and didn't take long for our food to arrive. Very casual setting. I've had their pizza and wings many times but thought I'd switch things up and ordered the bang bang shrimp. Really good and the spice level was perfect. Check it out when you're at the Nugget.

Pad Thai and burger

The food was not bad, the pad Thai is advertised as spicy and there was no spice. Burgers fire. Can not add lettuce to a burger and even when you dine in for 20 dollar entrees you order off a tablet next to the host. Service was not good. This is a sit down restaurant not acting like a sit down restaurant so my boyfriend would ask questions like "do we get our own drinks?" He was met with a rude attitude and the server saying is this the future?? Yes you do. Order Togo you'll be good.

The Island Grill menu.

Last night after a concert at the Nugget Casino, I found a hidden treasure. I was recommended by a customer sitting in the restaurant to try the Pad Thai Bowl. The kitchen is open so you can watch how your food is prepared. I did order the Pad Thai and it was Fab!!!! Served with a wonderful presentation of chicken, noodles, sprouts, onions and spice. You can also have shrimp as well. A very healthy portion in one bowl. I took home my leftovers... Room Chef Trevor Gerber should be awarded for this Pad Thai bowl. I will positively bring my family back for this dish. When you visit The Nugget Casino...head right over to the Island Grill and say hello to Chef Trevor making your beautiful food and my new favorite Pad Thai bowl. Come visit! Amazing!!!! Good food is so beautiful. Julie A.

Drunken noodle
Alexis E.

Had very friendly service at the register! I had the drunken noodles and katsu. Katsu seemed burnt, still decent. Fries were in large portion size so yay. Lastly, the drunken noodles were my favorite, but they were covered in a lot of oil. If they had less oil it would've been much more enjoyable. Overall service is excellent and it's a decent place to eat if you're stuck at the nugget.

French Fries
Aaron L.

The service was okay, we had to bus our own table. They were really busy with a concert happening . I had the Loco Moco, which was not very flavorful. The cheese pizza was plain, sauce was not flavorful. The French fries were good, probably the best part of our meal.

Roni Pizza. Amazing!
A G.

Didn't even know about this walk up restaurant until our last day staying at the Nugget. It was 20 min before closing when we ordered a pizza and let me tell you..... One of the best New York pizzas I have ever had.. Crunchy crust, flavorful dough, zesty sauce with a stretchy cheese pull. A++ Staff was great, friendly and helpful. Will go next time for sure when we go back to Sparks. Restaurant should be called Hidden Island grill because you can walk right past it without even knowing..

Vicky B.

Burger and fries were good, but the soda from the fountain drinks tasted like the carbonation was off. The one thing I did not like was being forced to tip when using my card to pay as the option for no tip was greyed out, so you had to choose the tip option. I'm not against tipping. I just like to tip with cash.

We love stopping in for a fresh gourmet burger! The meat is cooked to order and they are generous…read morewith the toppings. We like the Classic burger and BBQ burger, and you absolutely can't go wrong with the smoked mozzarella cheese on top! The house burger spread and the creamy bbq spread are both amazing. Just one request - please bring back the bacon jam! It was so good and I miss it! The fries basket is large enough to split between two people. They are served very hot and go so well with the sauces that come with the burger. Plenty of seating outside, with a small bar to sit inside. I wish there was more indoor seating for the colder months. The outdoor patio is perfect for the summer. Each burger is cooked to order, so it takes some time but it is worth the wait! These burgers aren't cheap, so definitely savor every bite. The butcher shop is great as well. We are big fans of the bourbon tri-tip. Prices have gone up recently (as with everything else). A trip here is not cheap but it's very tasty and worth a visit!

I wish I had discovered this place earlier, but it's never too late to give it a try -- lol! I…read morereally love the area here; it feels clean and fresh. This spot is unique because they sell fresh raw meat and seafood, but they also serve burgers, sandwiches, and more. The ordering process is simple: you place your order at the cashier, receive a buzzer, and pick up your food from the side window when it's ready. They have plenty of outdoor seating, which is perfect for enjoying your meal. We all ordered the classic burger with different cheese options. Overall, the burgers were juicy, flavorful, and made with fresh ingredients. I'm glad I finally made it here and got to try this place! :)

I don't even know how many years it's been since I've come to this place for food. When I was…read moreyounger it was a favorite place of mine and my friends, today, many years later, I visit it out of nostalgia. I came in the middle of July, so I didn't sit outside due to the blazing heat, instead taking the food and taking it home with me afterwards, but I only saw metal wiring benches, so it probably wouldn't have been the most comfortable, but they did have a huge sun shade over it. I ordered a Double Burger, with fries and a Rootbeer Milkshake, since this place is known for its milkshakes! The cashier was polite when I talked to her and she took my order. Once I got home I was immediately confused as, they don't put your food in plastic holders or anything, they just wrap them in paper which is incredibly bizarre and I've never seen anything like that before! Threw me off for sure. Anyway, the burger was kinda average. Not bad, but rather plain, and the lettuce tasted kinda old or overly wet. The fries were good. Well cooked with good texture and seasoning. Combined with the ranch, they were very pleasant to enjoy! The milkshake however was Easily the star of the show here! I know it's hard to mess up something like that, but even still, it was absolutely delicious! Overall, while I was disappointed with my burger, the rest of it was good enough to save it from a negative review! I'll definitely go back again for a milkshake sometime, and probably some fries again too! Though I don't think I'll be getting their burgers again. Definitely stop by for a delicious milkshake if you're in the area!

Came here for lunch and got their BBQ platter which comes with three meats and two sides. All…read moretheeat was tender and our favorite were the ribs which had good flavor. The chopped pork and brisket were okay, but we thought a lot of the flavor was carried from the BBQ sauce instead of the meat. The decor inside has that BBQ joint feel with some nice pig paraphernalia and Nevafa stuff. Shayla our server was very nice and courteous and made us feel right at home. My only critique involves another server who seemed very chatty with a couple who sat next to our table. She was talking with them a lot. She also made a comment after she noticed me taking photos of the inside saying "you can easily spot out the first timers." I think that's something a server should keep to themselves instead of mentioning it out loud. But that's me. I would've given this review 3.5 stars if I could just for that. But I'm giving it 4 because everything else was excellent. Would definitely come back again.

Ouch! First time at BJ's a couple years ago I had a fairly decent meal. Not great, not bad, but at…read moreleast edible. This last time, a couple days ago, I was severely disappointed. Yes, the brisket was actually INEDIBLE! It was dry, tough, rubbery, tasteless. The only way I could even power a couple of bites down was soaking it in the BBQ sauce. At least the chicken I had with it was moist and had SOME flavor. I had the grits and cheddar as one side and it's like they put them in a food processor. Grits should be gritty, not smooth like paste ( I promise I don't eat paste). The Costco applesauce was the best thing I had. We literally had to go out to lunch again. Our service was blah but at we were only charged for one meal. Not sure who finds this place acceptable, but I shall never return. Dammit! JimG
