Burgers are amazing. Prices for kids are ridiculous but all in all a great place. Service was not the greatest. Took 15 min to get something to drink and didn't see the waitress till our food came. That has to be one of my Pet Peeves in life. The food definitely makes up for the service. read more

Fast service Friendly service Food Was Amazing I really do not have 1 compliant. Fresh and put together. Green tea was delish! Can't wait to go back. read more

I enjoy the quality control that Islands has. Any time I've order for myself or my dad we've never had a problem with our food. It's a bit more expensive than the fast food but not by much. The quality however is far superior. read more

Food was great, a bit smaller menu selection than one would expect. The service was good. We were seated quickly (4th time here and have never had to wait). If you are looking for a good burger and fun atmosphere, this is the place! read more

I have been sitting outside at curbside pickup for over a half an hour, four other cars have come and gone with out our food. I have called three times and on the third call I requested the manager. They refused to put me through to the manager and at this point admitted the kitchen was backed up. Maybe you should have said that a half hour ago so I could have come back. Horrible service, I won't be back. read more

We enjoyed it but it's burgers, the food was good and the service was excellent. But I feel for what it was the burgers are over priced. I don't plan on going back unless it's a family majority vote to go there. read more

Absolutely love their burgers and onions rings! They make your order exactly the way you want it. The waiters and waitresses are so nice. I believe we had a waiter named Derek about a month ago. He was great. Quick on refills and made sure we didn't need anything. We always enjoy our meal here. I wouldn't change a thing about this place. read more

Hadnt been to an islands in about 3 years. Was excited to happen upon one while in Avondale. I use to frequent the palm dessert, Ca. Location and talked my self into an expensive burger even though i packed a lunch. Ordered the cheeseburger same as in the past but was disappointed to find that they either changed meat suppliers or az has akways used different meat. It was generic at best. Tasted more like a dennys burger than the gourmet burger i was expecting to taste. $16.00 for burger fry coke and tip. Dont know how u get repeat business. Maybe thats why it wasnt packed like the cali location s. read more

Ok staff and service. Our burger was just awful and with no flavor. I mentioned this after a few bites and they went "oh well". I sent them an email and never responded. read more

The service and food was good. We were out shopping at hobby lobby and the sign caught our eyes. It was really enjoyable

Hostesses weak, Service, so so, food.......no Thanks. Not even worth the money. Doesn't matter the situation, you don't let your values change. I'm done.( brought in a first time form another country). Fail read more

This was probably one of the worst burger places! I ordered the Big Wave (a regular american cheese burger) and a requested a wheat bun. First, you could tell for the french fries that they stacked the big ones on top and leave you the crumbs/last of the bag under. Biting into my burger, I remember the bun tasting almost moldy but just had a funny taste to it. Meat was dry, frozen patty. My girl order the Steak Tacos. Her meat was completely tasteless. Tasted like the meat was just tossed in some oil with no seasoning whatsoever. read more

First time here and ordered food to go. Worst experience ever! 1- chicken was still pink 2- fries were definitely from yesterday- so stale and cold! 3- the apple slices in the kids meal was just an apple jaggedly cut and the seeds still in! 4- the slider in the kids meal gave my daughter food poisoning!! We literally had to throw half of our order away. What a waste of money, you honestly get better quality food at McDonald's! read more

We come here often and the service it's always good but this time was excelent thank you so much jessy

I came here once with my husband a while back. I remember everything was amazing, so I decided to come back with my husband and our children today. Oh, how much I regret it. Fries arrived for most of us, except one. Took a while to get that last order of fries. My husband asked for more soda, and after about 15 minutes, the waiter brought drinks for everyone in the table (so we had an additional 4 drinks taking space). We were done eating, and after waiting more than 20 minutes, waiter came to ask if we needed anything else, so I asked for two boxes and the check, which he brought quickly (but no bag). After he brought the check and the boxes we waited an additional 15 minutes, and he didn't come back (even though he helped the table next to us and across from us), so I decided to get up, and pay it myself. When he saw us at the front (another girl I asked for help was trying to help us) he approached us at the front and finally asked to take our payment. I regret coming back, because now I get to keep this bad memory. Needless to say, I personally will not come back. Great food, but not worth all the time we waited to be acknowledged. read more

This is a chain and the prices are just a bit high for the product, but the service is great, the staff are friendly, and the vibe is pretty cool so all in all it's a good place to give a try. They also seem to have a good happy hour (judging from signage, no first hand experience yet) and the food is definitely tasty. Had a great first experience. read more

This is our default place to eat. Food is great and the service is very good. We've been to this restaurant so many times, we've both memorized the menu and are familiar with alot of the staff. The place is busy but not so busy you can't find a seat. Food always comes out hot and flavorful. If you get a chance, I highly recommend you try it. read more

Met for drinks and appetizers. Chris in the bar was so attentive food was great service was better..

In the late 90's, I was going to Islands pretty much every night for dinner. After a long day of working as a restaurant manager at the time, I wanted to relax, get a cold beer and enjoy a good burger since it was close to where I was living at the time. Since then, hadn't been back till recently. My wife and I decided one day to go grab take out and go to a park to enjoy our lunch. Not so enjoyable. Went again for a redemption opportunity and it did. But today, wasnt so much. Jessica, our sever asked us the question we get asked pretty much every night we go out, which is often. Would you like your burger cooked medium or medium well. Seems to me that people who are working the grills lately are not doing a very good job at grilling. Wife and I both asked for medium. Which means light to no pink. Her burger came out rare. Some people can not handle their proteins med rare, let alone rare. Not in our case. But when the customer asks for medium, its expected to arrive that way. Food arrival wasn't all that great either. The food runner who brought out our meal advised us that they are waiting for the fries to be done. So shouldn't the fries arrive with the burger? It's all about time and expediting. I know what it is like in the back of the house. But, the food to all come out at the same time would've been great read more

So good! One of our favorite places. Delicious burgers, chicken, fries, and my favorite tortilla soup!

Great place to eat Natalie was great did a great job never missed a drink payed great attention to my table

I've been talking about wanting to try this place for a long time. Finally, we went. First, we do not like booths and there are only a few tables-not comfy seating. Ordering, the waitress tells us it will be more to add cheese to our fries. Ok! No big deal. I don't mind paying for cheese. When the food arrived, I was highly disappointed when I seen a few fries with some cheese on them. $1.30 for extra cheese, but where's the cheese!?? The burger was thin and non flavorable... and no cheese? If the burger doesn't come with cheese, why wouldn't the waitress suggest it? We are obviously cheese people! My husband got fajita chicken tacos. They were ok, but missing some sauce or salsa. And again, no cheese on those either!? The waitress and service was good, but is there a cheese shortage I should know about? read more

Absolutely the best burgers in town!! Friendly staff and great atmosphere, highly recommend for anyone that loves great burgers

Went to lunch yesterday. It was okay. The burger was seasoned and done appropriately. However, the fries were stale and minimal. The ice tea was watered down and the server would come to the table and literally be watching the TV or something else and not really impressive. Not even sure of her name she was just kind of vacant. I don't expect a lot from people just a full drink and maybe a smile but she was just kind of flat. read more

Love the islands. I travel long distances for the islands ever since the one in Mesa closed and I've been to many! This was not my favorite experience. The cheese fries (islands does thisthe best, ever in my opinion) were soggy fries and strangely too much cheese...how that happens im not sure but it was as if they sat too long and the fried became grease pockets and the cheese became gelatinous. Appealing, huh? The burger I ordered (again, usual favorite) was okay but the bun was on the verge of crusty like it was old and the server was probably oversat because we didn't see him much. It was definitely busy and we're okay with service norms but when other employees came to drop off food no one really acknowledged the stack of dishes accumulating at the end of the table nor the very empty drinks after a lengthy wait for our items to begin with. read more

Okay service since the last time I was here. Food still good. 7 TV'S in a small venue. Not bad.

Sandpiper was yummy.. What can I say islands is islands standard yummy burgers fries and chips

This was my first time at Islands - the food was really good, I ordered their current promotion Heat burger. It was awesome!!! It was spicy but not the point where you can't handle it. (I'm Latin) The meat was very good quality and the bread was very soft. Over all it tasted like a home made burger and not fast food quality. The fries were awesome too, they were very soft and had a very good flavor. I will be going back despite the fact that the waitress was not very friendly. She didn't smile not even ONCE. The hostess was very nice though :) read more

Need to work on the fries! We got a basket of fries to share and all we got was a pile of small pieces of bottom of the fryer left overs.

I actually really like this Islands. I've been here twice and sat once in the restaurant and once in the bar. They have good happy hour specials in the bar. Food had been pretty good so far. read more

Love this place! It feels cozy an Intimate and the decor is so fun! The food is amazing and always creative and flavorful! It's been a favorite for years! Always love the vibe! read more

Sweet Jesus this was good. Took a gamble after seeing the reviews and I'm not sure what everyone else ate. But I got a chili burger and my boyfriend got the bbq island red burger and they were both awesomely good. I'm from the east and I haven't found a single place that can do Greek chili the right way but they did. Definitely will be back. read more

Above average quality burgers. If you try the wing appetizer, you will be impressed. The service is friendly. I have been several times and will continue to. read more

Saw the good reviews and was ready to change it up some since we didn't want to drive to Fuddrucker's but wanted to try these burgers. I like the decor and service was ok, no issues there and they did ask how we wanted the burgers cooked. We order the standard cheeseburger that appeared to be 1/2 pound and perfectly symmetrical in it's round shape which we figure these are frozen and they tasted like it. The bun was just plain bun, pretty boring and tasteless however it was toasted on the flat top. I'm sure they have better plates on the menu but not sure if we'll come back, just missing the wow factor read more

My husband and I came in for dinner, had the Pipeline burger, was really good....you have to try their Kona Pie for dessert though...super yummy. This was our 2nd time here, we both enjoyed our food and the atmosphere both times. We recommend this place read more

I went to the Avondale store last night, assuming that you don't really know unless you go... I probably won't go back. Nothing personal, but the burgers weren't to rave about. A couple notches better than fast food chains, but there wasn't anything that a Foodie would appreciate going on in my Pie Hole. I asked for medium temp to get a little pink in there... Didn't happen. Asked for well done fries (I love them almost crispy)... That didn't happen either. Being a professional food server for 20+ years I know better than to bitch about little things, even though that's the essence of the Dining Experience: (have it YOUR way, right?) To get what you ordered. The 16oz beer was good, the bartendress attentive, and the atmosphere is what you make it... I always bring a good book when flying solo. $25.00 later (tip included), I just wasn't impressed. Maybe cut out the Sysco burgers and make the patties yourself, and I'll think about inviting someone to join me. Otherwise, it's just not worth it. Michael N. read more

i wasn't particularly blown away by islands, but i enjoyed myself. they have a couple of their own beers, i had the brown one and it was pretty tasty. my friend and i ordered some appetizers. the poke (raw fish and slaw) which was very good and the nachos were were good but nothing special. i followed that up with the tortilla soup which was really good. (i just had a bowl, as opposed to the endless bowl) and my friend got a brownie dessert. the service was friendly and informative. at one point, they forgot to put the beans on the side for our nachos and apologized when it happened, when they brought it, and the manager himself as we were leaving. the atmosphere was friendly and inviting, but i can't say much for price as my friend picked up the tab. i'd recommend it for an island vibe style night out! read more

Islands burgers is great. They were able to accommodation a large party on their patio. The server was patient and fast. I had 2 drinks and onion rings. The onion rings were tasty and hot. Also, I had a chocolate lava dessert which was too much for one person but it was good. I also had to share the onion rings. My friends said they loved their food as well. I will definitely be going back to try a burger. read more
