Happy Hour Fries with a chopped burger patty and bacon on top!
Ernesto S.

Great happy hour, great deals, great service and World Cup on the TV's! Can't beat these happy hour deals and I was able to customize these $7 loaded fries!

Yaki Tacos
Lizzy C.

My Boyfriend has never been to an Islands, we dont have one remotely close to where we lived but he always wondered where I came up with teriyaki chicken tacos at home and Islands has always been that for me, because I couldn't get them after I moved I had to make something similar. So we stopped in for dinner. I of course ordered the Yaki tacos, my boyfriend went with the Toucan sandwich and we got a happy hour order of cheese fries. The food was just as good as I remembered and it was nice for him to see some if the things I grew up doing. Service was great and so was the food.

Lunch special was good! I wanted something fresh and this was just that! Service was 5/5! The waiter kept checking in on us and offered us refills and sauces and anything we might have needed! Even made a quick joke and a quick small talk! Ambiance 4/5! Clean cute and always a nice experience at Islands! Thank you for your service!!

Inside at the bar
Dan W.

Islands are all about the same. This location is easy access but the parking can sometime be really tight. The grounds are well kept lots of neat trees and plants. The inside is always clean lots of TVs to look at sports. The service is fairly good here, but sometimes it feels like it could be better. The food is always good but the one thing we miss is the all you can eat fries the food is always prepared good and hot when you get it we always get a BLT, which is great and add avocado at times they have a few great drinks here too that you can try besides beer

Kilauea burger
Dana T.

Such a juicy kilauea burger! I shared the burger with my boyfriend and I was pretty full! It also came with a side of fries. The service was so great and I enjoyed it very much.

Not too long of a wait for a Friday night! Came in with the family for a quick bite for dinner. My son got a salad, I got the island nachos, and everybody else got some type of burger. Everything was super yummy. Our waiter went on break right before our food came out, but did let us know that his replacement was new and training. When she came to help us she was awesome as well. Over all this laid back Hawaiian vibe restaurant with the Tiki decor hits the spot for an easy breezy meal!

Drink Menu
Keihla F.

Went to Islands for lunch today, it was good! They have a $10 for a burger and fries deal going right now and it was perfect for us! It was a basic hamburger with cheese and all the veggies and a basket of fries, too! This is a better deal than you can get at some fast food restaurants! We were seated right away, or server was very nice and helped us find the daily specials, and our food came out quickly! It was delicious! You really can't be the $10 meal deal for a restaurant burger! It's a cute restaurant, has a bar area, and a very islander feel with surf videos playing on the TVs.

Cosmos
Grace L.

The bartender working yesterday afternoon on Easter was amazing. His Grey Goose cosmos are the bees knees. I highly recommend this location by Barnes and Noble.

Kilauea Bowl
Fred O.

We're regulars at the Islands in Fullerton, and this visit was another great one. The food was on point, the vibe was relaxed, and the service was solid. We came on our bulky electric scooters, and the staff was kind enough to store them safely by their station while we ate--really appreciated that. We started with the Chips & Salsa and added Guacamole, which was fresh and flavorful. The real highlight was the $10 bowl special. We had the Kilauea Bowl and the Kawaiian Bowl, and both were fantastic. Big portions, bold flavors, and an unbeatable price. Andrew was our server and took great care of us--friendly, attentive, and quick with the refills. We'll definitely be back again soon.

Been coming to this location for more years than we care to admit. Food is great and the service…read moreis always very accommodating. There are a lot of regulars... for good reason. They are open on holidays for those without family, and looking for a place to see familiar faces. Wonderful selection of food, both traditional on the Americana menu, or if you want something off menu. (Try the few Greek menu items inserted here-and-there for a special treat.) The bar area has plenty of TVs for games, and the evening regulars are a great bunch to share a game with! The remodel was a great improvement. It has been a few years now, but it has made a huge difference to the experience. All-and-all a great place for a home cooked meal, awesome Breakfast plates all day, and dinner plates large enough to split. Great dining experience for a couple, or for the next family gathering. Highly recommend!

My husband and I had not been to Keno's in years. The last time we went was usually for breakfast…read more We went there a few weeks ago because it was the only place that was open after 10 PM and we just ate appetizers. They were very good, but I ended up not getting my food until well after the rest of our party got theirs as they forgot my order, even though there were only four of us. We decided to try it again for dinner because we noticed that they had specials. We both got the special for Wednesday, which was ribeye steak with salad, veg, baked potato, bread and dessert for $18. We were served the salad first which was meh, just iceberg and a little bit of purple cabbage and carrot slathered in dressing. Nothing special. My husband ate half of his, I ate most of mine. After a rather long wait, we finally received our meals, although there was hardly anybody in the restaurant, even the waitress said, let me go check on your meals, then shortly after they came out. The first thing we noticed was the so-called steamed vegetables which was the stalk of cauliflower, lots of stalks of broccoli and a few sliced carrots. The carrots were good. I didn't eat the rest. We took a bite of our steak and my husband, who loves steak, was the first one to say it was too salty. And then I took a couple of bites of mine and had the same reaction. If you remember going to Steak Corral over at Beach and Katella, been closed for years. They served "aged beef", which basically means it's soaked in brine to supposedly make it more tender. That's what this was like only worse. Inedible! I know there are many who love salt, but we don't. Anyway, we told the server and I asked if I could have something different. But my husband was so put off by the experience that he didn't want to order anything else. So all he ate was half the salad and a little bit of the cornbread that we got along with the meal. I ordered trout, which turned out to be pretty good. They didn't put any salt on it. I had to salt it a little bit myself. Anyway, when the bill came, we asked if they were going to remove the meal for my husband and she said yes, but they charged him $8 for the salad, because he ate some of it, which as I said before was nothing special. And because I changed my order to the trout, which was not on the weekly specials menu, they would not give me the dessert that came with the special. They did nothing whatsoever to try to make our experience a pleasant one. When you walk into a restaurant and you look at the menu, you expect that you're going to get what you order and you expect a level of satisfaction. Not only did they cheap out and make my husband pay eight dollars of an $18 meal, they also wouldn't even give me the dessert. They could have done so little to help us leave as satisfied customers. But it's obvious that money is their FIRST priority. We even asked the manager directly to take the salad off. She said the owners tell them what they can or can't do. So they just lost ANOTHER customer. Will NOT be returning! Side note: their five star ratings are almost the same amount as they're one star ratings, so eat here at your own risk! Mainly for old folks who love SALT!!!

Where do I even begin? Rock and Brews in Buena Park delivered an absolutely unforgettable…read moreexperience for our son's special celebration, and we could not be more grateful to the entire Rock n Brew's Buena Park team that supported our event for making it happen. During the planning phase, General Manager Mike's experience was extremely helpful when we shared what we envisioned for the party. He advised us where to set up the sections for food, a photo booth, the satellite bar, gift/message table, and where to place the tables that were in front of the stage for our hired entertainment (singer and DJ). We reserved the beach outdoor patio which can have up to 200 people, stage and dance area and TVs to project photos. From the moment we arrived, besides Mike, Kelly was also onsite and the point of contact for our event and was available during the event. The service was nothing short of exceptional. Servers Raelyn and team were attentive, personable, and went above and beyond to ensure a successful event. My husband and I were able to enjoy the party alongside our family with our family and friends. Our event was held during Memorial Day weekend when a chemical leak occurred in Garden Grove and Mike worked closely with us to address our concerns, kept us informed every step of the way regarding any potential impact to the Buena Park location (which, thankfully, was never affected) and made sure every detail we outlined in the layout of the event was in place. His professionalism and steady reassurance transformed what could have been a stressful situation into a seamless and joyful evening. The ambiance was lively, festive, and absolutely ideal for our crowd. And the food? Our guests could not stop raving about it. Everyone agreed it far surpassed typical bar food. The sliders were a massive hit, the pizza was devoured within minutes and generous in portion and incredible in flavor -- had everyone going back for seconds. Multiple guests approached us throughout the night just to compliment the food, which says everything. That night at Rock and Brews in Buena Park will forever be a cherished core memory for our family and friends. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for making our son's college graduation celebration so incredibly magical! If you're looking for a stress-free venue for your next event, Rock and Brews in Buena Park delivers on every level. Great food, amazing staff and a fun, relaxed atmosphere - they truly check all the boxes for an exceptional celebration!
