We had an amazing experience thanks to our server Cristian ! He provided five-star customer service, was incredibly knowledgeable about the menu, and gave us great recommendations that made our visit even better. His friendly attitude and attention to detail really stood out. He's also great with kids. If you're looking for a great place to eat while you're in Long Beach, I highly recommend Islands for delicious burgers, drinks, and great service. Be sure to ask for your boy Cristian -- he'll take great care of you! read more

Came in for dinner with my partner and had a wonderful dinner, made even more enjoyable by our amazing server, Alyssa! She was incredibly attentive, friendly, and genuinely charming throughout our entire meal. She checked in on us without ever being overbearing, made great recommendations, and had such a warm, upbeat personality that made us feel truly welcomed. It's clear that Alyssa takes pride in providing great customer service, and she absolutely made our experience stand out. The food was great, but her service really made the night. Islands is lucky to have her and we'll definitely be back! read more

We came here for lunch with a group of 8 and fortunately got a table without having to make a reservation. Alejandro was our server and because we didn't necessarily sit next to our partner he did a good job of taking orders and splitting 4 bills. The way he did it was be going each person a number, my wife and I were numbers 2 and 5. I got a Shorebird Sandwich that was good and my wife enjoyed a China Coast Salad with no fried noodles. We've been to many other Islands and must say both the food and service here was good. read more

Great food NOT A GOD HONORING RESTAURANT! I had a satisfying culinary experience at islands in Long Beach with my two sons. But the decor left a lot to be desired for a God fearing family. The walls were tainted by scantily clad beachgoers. I myself felt the Devil's pull when my eyes lingered too long on a hunky Hawaiian. I even caught my eldest son Chevy ogling a bikini wearing surfer girl. We had to pray over his sin then and there which was a very uncomfortable moment to share publicly. If I wanted my sons to be tempted by sin I'd let them watch Harry Potter. God still leant me the strength to enjoy my sandy style Bluenami burger, but I can't in good conscience return to this establishment of lust. read more

Super great customer service from the host all the way to the busser. Bartender/ server was amazing with recommendations. Islands normally would not get a review but the service here was excellent. From the new menu updates with the fresh and perfectly cooked smashed burger and the happy hour appetizers amazing price with great quality. Huge shout out to my servers Yuri and Cam for the hospitality. Food was perfect for the weather as well, beer with cold glass to complement the draft pour and mixed drink ratio perfectly and it was on happy hour! 3-6:30! Makes the whole atmosphere better with the great deals. Beach super close by so definitely will be coming here again! Shout out to Yuri and Cam again! read more

Such a waste of time. Horrible staff and management. They did not want to seat us to open tables on a sunday 7 pm. Apparently that section is closed but yet other customers are in that section. Do not go here. Restaurant was maybe at 40-50 percent capacity so not like they were overwhelmed with business. read more

Came here when we saw the Happy Hour sign as we passed by to go to the nearby bank. Marisol our original server wasn't very welcoming if I'm being honest so that was a bit of a bummer. She ended up leaving and didn't bother to say anything which was beyond rude. But I guess. We ordered two drinks off the happy hour menu and two top shelf drinks and chilled at the bar. The second server Cam was great. The restaurant itself was cute, welcoming and matched the vibe of the restaurant. Cam was very nice, and friendly and made sure to periodically check on us. read more

Burgers are pricey closed to $20.00 Happy Hour is their only redeeming quality with a decent happy hour menu Service sucks you always got to wave the help down which isn't never good when everyone out front looks and feels like they do not want to be there. TV's are decent and it's never crowded Ambiance is what you honestly expect If ya with the kids this works. If ya alone this works but they really gotta work on the crews demeanor and energy to get this place up to par and I'm being generous because I felt like I only met one staff me ever that genuinely wanted to be there ! One more thing have an "All Hands Meeting" to get everyone to smile change the music and the mood a place with good food should never have the sheer coldness no immediate greetings with no cheers from the mates who deliver good pints this is not a morgue. Please do better! read more

Islands Restaurant - Burgers Near Me - Long Beach, California

Stopped by for lunch and was initially sat at a handicap table. Asked to be moved to another table to allow that table to be open for someone who might need it. Upon arrival I was greeted and seated right away. The waitress greeted me and took my order. I ordered the burger lunch special with the lunch special soda. The burger and fries came quickly. Unfortunately the fries were cold and seemed to be the left over fries. Asked to have fresh fries if possible but also check on the soda I ordered. The burger was decent but nothing fancy as it was a lunch special burger and not one of their specialties. The fries and soda came and everything was fine. Unfortunately the low stars is the lack of quality for the food but also an issue with the bill. The bill charged me for fries when it came with the lunch special. The waitress was able to get it fixed but when the bill came back the soda came out to about 3.59 and it was supposed to be 2.00. She took the bill back to fix it. I paid and left but it left me wondering how many people did not check their bill and was overcharged. Pros- quick spot for a burger Deltas - food may be cold and you may be overcharged. read more

This Islands in LB is always delicious. The service is great and Christian was a wonderful server.

it's a chain so you know what to expect, but the food and service at this downtown long beach location was good even though they were busy from a cheerleading event in town on sunday. portions are reasonable as are prices, and the server we had was great, even talking with my date about her perfume and them striking up a conversation on where to buy it online. a solid choice in downtown long beach. read more

We had such a great experience at Islands, and a big reason why was the manager, Armando. Service was quick, the drinks were amazing, and everything ran smoothly. Armando was incredibly attentive and made sure we felt taken care of the entire time. You can tell he genuinely cares about the guests and the experience. It really made our visit stand out. We'll definitely be back! read more

Honestly, burgers here were either plain as heck or just bad-even for a chain. The only thing worth getting was the cheesy fries but at that point why go dine in at a fast food restaurant. Much rather go to a different spot nearby. Totally not worth the visit especially for the price. read more

Tried the BLEUNAMI burger , comes with fries, serves was really good, , refills sodas ready after finishing the drink . Good spot to try when you're at Midsummer scream. read more

I'm gluten free and my family wanted to come here for dinner. Christian was our server and did a good job guiding me through what I can have and answered all my questions. I got the long border burger with an egg and jalapenos, on a gluten-free bun. I like that they use a separate fryer for the fries. We were seated quickly when we arrived. We were able to watch the first dodger game on the TV as we sat down at our table. It was nice to sit and enjoy our dinner. Christian was a great server, very informative regarding all the gluten-free items. Make sure you ask for him. read more

I've always loved Islands, but this visit was disappointing. On the positive side, our server was an absolute sweetheart--friendly, attentive, and made us feel welcome. The service overall was great, and the prices are still pretty affordable. Unfortunately, the food didn't match the service. I ordered the chicken grilled sandwich with grilled pineapple, and it was honestly inedible--disgusting in both taste and texture. The fries, which used to be one of my favorite things here, came out cold. That was surprising, because Islands used to be consistent with fresh, hot food. It feels like the quality has really gone downhill, and I'm not sure what happened. I hope they get back to the standard they were once known for, because right now the food just isn't worth it, even though the staff is wonderful. read more

Islands Restaurant - Outside - Burgers Near Me - Long Beach, California

First time visiting this location. Attendants handed us crayons and a kids activity sheet that also included a menu for my child. We ordered three adult entres including a Hula burger with onion rings, a Maui burger with fries a kids burger with fries and a chop chop salad. I had the Hula burger and besides the mushrooms, I will say it was not memorable at all. I might in the future try other items but overall not impressed. I did like the fries but wish they had ketchup without nasty preservatives or additives. Customer service was superb and quite fast in bringing refreshments, water and food choices. Place was not busy at all, probably at 20% capacity and they were streaming the Dodgers game. Overall I like the location and will likely return. read more

Not disability friendly and not allergy safe. Seating took over 35 minutes and a reminder to another staff member because our party of two was forgotten. Parties of all sizes got Sat before us. Once ordering, I asked about allergy protocols and cross contact for burgers and fries, the waiter was nice and answered all of my questions. I was told the fries were safe and the burger could have a gluten free bun warmed on a separate space from the breads. Despite this I still had an allergic reaction! I do not recommend for any one with allergies. We were sat at a half booth half chair 2 seater and the chair was pushed to the side/edge of the table to accommodate my wheelchair. Despite this obvious reasoning, multiple staff members and patrons move the chair and made remarks during our meal. Absolutely unacceptable. read more

Such a cute restaurant in Long Beach. We sat at the bar section and our bartender was so lovely and fun. They had a nice selection on their happy hour with foods and drinks; super cheap during that time. I got cheesy fries to grub on and they were good not stingy with the cheese like many other places. Their fun beach tiki type drinks are so delicious and dangerous you can't taste any vodka or rum. I'd come again read more

I love islands! Sometimes I go and get a burger with a gluten-free bun and this time I got a burger salad! The gluten-free bun is the best bun I ever had on a burger! I love this place because the ranch is homemade and it's the best ranch I have ever had! This time when I got the salad with a burger, I mixed ranch with the buffalo wings sauce, and it was the best spicy dressing there is. The service is always great and fast I sat at the bar, which was awesome! read more

IF THIS IS WHAT THE MENUS LOOK LIKE... WHAT DOES THE KITCHEN LOOK LIKE ? Someone should care enough to clean the menus. There were two employees standing at the front talking about what they did on the weekend. Didn't stop talking at all while we stood there. One of them could have cleaned the menus. How insulting and degrading... I called the Carlsbad number, she told me to go online and give feed back. I specifically said I didn't want to speak to the manager at that location. What good would it do ? They are in charge and allow this. I start to get called from a (562). They never left a message. So I looked it up, it was the restaurant. I called back the Carlsbad number for two days and they never answered. I found the Irvine number, I called and they never answered. I guess all the island employees have the same work ethic. read more

Sorry to add a very disappointing review. Lunch had dirty grill tasting lunch special. Also the fries were made with what tasted like used dirty oil and served like it was a normal plate, stomach problems followed. If you charge so much during difficult times and you don't even serve quality you will end up like other majors across the street... CLOSED DOWN. YIKES read more

We chose this restaurant because it was conveniently located across from the aquarium, and we didn't want to move our cars and deal with parking again. Due to our large group, they seated us at two tables across from each other. The server had to make multiple trips to bring us what we needed, and after talking to my son-in-law, I found out she never brought some of the items they requested. We ended up over-tipping without knowing the full situation. The food was just okay--my mom and son enjoyed their meals, but the rest of us found it pretty average. Nothing exciting, just typical chain restaurant fare. I don't think I'd dine here again. 10/7/24 read more

I haven't been to this Islands since I was a kid! The place was just as I remembered it. We were sat at a booth pretty quickly. Our server was kind and gave us some recommendations. I ordered a salad which was okay. It tasted a bit like stored greens, but the sauce and protein was really good. I also ordered a seasonal drink which I really liked; the flavors seemed bold but it was probably the best drink I had this year. Props to the bar tender that night! read more

Food has definitely changed my flour tortillas were not the freshest but my meal and the servic was good. Very clean!

Food was delicious and priced so well that I felt like I was getting away with robbery. Do yourself a favor and come to Islands on Pine. I'm excited to come back for their happy hour! read more

On July 1, 2026, I visited Islands Restaurant Long Beach Pike location, located at 55 S Pine, Long Beach, CA 90802, with my family. The experience I had there was the worst I have ever had at a restaurant. My family ordered the: Tiki Tenders, Maui Burger (Slightly Pink/Med. Well) w/fries, Hawaiian Burger without tomatoes or onions, served with cheese fries (Well Done), House Side Salad w/ ranch, and a Bowl of Chicken Tortilla Soup. When my family and I received our orders, we were disappointed in all aspects, both the food and the service. The Chicken Tortilla Soup seemed to have been extremely watered down and lacked flavour. The ranch; that arrived with the salad and later with the Tiki Tenders & Cheese Fries, had a thin consistency, like it had been watered down in the kitchen. We brought this to our server's attention after she eventually came over after sitting and having a lengthy casual conversation with another guest at a table across from us. The server then asked if I would like a refill on my soup; we let her know I would rather not. She responded that she would go see why things were tasting watered down. However, she just sent the manager out. The manager, when arrive to the table, just like the server, the manger did not introduce herself. She plainly said, "Your server said you had a problem with your food." We explained to her about the issue we discussed with the server, hoping she would at least offer to fix these issues; that never happened. The manager did not even offer to bring out more ranch or apologize for the lack of flavour and consistency of the soup. The only thing she asked was if we needed any water. After the response we received about the minor inconveniences, we didn't even feel compelled or comfortable to bring up the fact that both of the burgers we received were wrong. The Maui burger patty lacked seasoning/flavour and was supposed to be cooked medium well and arrived more medium rare. The Hawaiian burger was supposed to be cooked well-done and arrived medium well. The fries served with the Maui burger were overly salted on the bottom layer, making it impossible to finish the fries. The waiter came and checked on us one more time and asked if we needed anything. We said yes to a water refill and more ranch for the Tiki Tenders. We waited, and those items never came. The next time she came to the table, she asked if we wanted boxes. We let the server know that she never brought the items she said she would and that yes, we would like boxes. She apologized and went and got boxes and the check, and quickly walked away. Over the experience, moving too quickly, I already had my phone up to tap and accidentally tapped before reading the invoice. Knowing this, I delayed signing and tipping and waited for the server to come back. About five minutes later, she did return, and she stated she could not go back. As I have worked in other restaurants before and to fix that we just closed out the app on the Toast machine, and the transaction would not go through. So I asked her to go ask or get her manager to confirm. However, the server then went to the back and immediately decided to commit fraud; she signed off on my check herself. I know this because that is when the transaction finally went through on my phone. After this, the server did not return; she sent the receipt over with another staff member. We then stopped another server or busser on the floor and asked them to bring the manager. The manager then came out, and I explained what happened and told her that her server just signed my check for me without asking. She said she couldn't give me a copy of the signed receipt after I asked her for one. During the exchange, the manager kept taking my receipt from me as I slid it on the table towards me. In the end of it all, the manager then took my receipt as a whole and refused to return my receipt or help after I just told her that her staff just committed a federal offence of forgery and fraud. When the transaction is no longer pending, I will be filing a report with my credit card company as well as filing a police report. The behaviour displayed by the Islands staff at this location was entirely inappropriate and unacceptable. read more
