The bartender provided great service today. We walked in and sat at the bar for a quick lunch, having shots and a burger. The decor was fun and for some reason, their menu reminded me of Dave and Buster's. There weren't many light options, and every dish had over 1200 calories. The chips and guac for examples I saw was 1900 calories. Was there for about an hour! read more

Enjoyed a Maui burger and it was real good! I had lunch at Islands today and afterwards took a walk for about an hour by the harbor. Went back to the convention center and realized my backpack zipper was open and my wallet fell out. I retraced my strips and called them thinking I have nothing to lose. They found it! I'm so thankful to their kind and beautiful staff. Feeling grateful . Thank you so much. read more

Cristian was awesome, burgers were excellen, and the lava cake was on point. Will probably be back.

So there's an individual that works in the kitchen who neglected to wash his hands when leaving the restroom and then he went straight to the back meaning kitchen That's gross That's nasty how can somebody serve food and not wash their hands after taking a piss read more

First time coming here and trying a burger & THE Kilauea Burger IS SOOO GOOD! If you enjoy a little spice in your I HIGHLY RECOMMEND IT! I also got a Lava flow which was delicious. It took 25-30 minutes for us to be seated which was typical of busier restaurants. Service was awesome I believe our waiter was Brandon & he was super friendly & fast! I'm surprised to see this place only has 3 stars because we had a really great experience but then again sometimes people only come on Yelp to speak negatively. read more

Food service was above and beyond! Our server Christian was very kind and on top of the service. The food came very quick was absolutely delicious. I would definitely recommend coming here for a nice family lunch. read more

This place use to be great. More and more, they treat customers like numbers and they don't have to give you any service. Sad. I decided to eat at the bar. I say down and the bartender saw me several times and just ignored me. She didn't even bother to stop and clean up the prior customers mess. A party of two sat down next to me and she was there cleaning up their area and taking their drink order in 30 seconds. Not bothering to say squat to me. Then she had the nerve to ask me for my drink order. Not politely considering how awful the experience was up to now....just What do you want? Said like I was bothering her. Condescending and rude. That was it. Third strike. I had two other bad experiences there. The was no reason to patronize this place any longer. Three visits in a row....shitty service...that is a management problem since they accept the flippant, inattentive behavior. read more

Note to self!!!!! Never ever come to this location again. The first red flag was the server taking our orders thinking she could memorize our order and still got it wrong. Then the utensils were still stained with food so I asked another server if she could bring me plastic to-go utensil and she gave me this crazy look and I said because the utensils are still dirty. My food was luke warm and fries were also cold. Looks like the health department is due to pay them a visit. If you're trying to decide which place between CPK or Island's, choose any other place but them. If I could give a negative 1 star I would. Don't waste your time or money here! read more

Tried the islands that's local to my area and was impressed by their happy hour deals and options. Had the slider burgers.(happy hour bar special) Also truffle fries. Another happy hour special was the spinach artichoke dip which was good. Will Be back for sure read more

I've been to this Islands Restaurant a few times as it had been my buddy's "go-to" to catch a game. Why, I don't know... but that's neither here nor there. And after tonight, we'll catch games elsewhere. And to be perfectly clear, service at the bar has been in a free-fall since we've had to depend on the asian female who's been working there for a long time. It hasn't mattered if we sat at the bar, or at a side table in the bar... she sux... BAD! We've observed her now over a good long period of time, beginning when there was another female working the bar at the same time, and it's clear that if you're not one of her regulars, she doesn't smile at you and almost ignores you. Tonight was the last straw. After 5-minutes, she finally took our drink order. Then after 20-minutes as we sat there starving with zero eye contact and her seemingly avoiding us, we walked out. And yes - we both noted the time when we sat down. So we're solid on this. What a joke! Guess what Islands Restaurant...? WE DON'T NEED YOU! Buh bye... read more

We're at islands and I just tried the side of fries. I believe our server mentioned they used new oil, they are fantastic fries. I actually like them more than the old version. they taste for fresh and healthy. and they CRISPY. Highly recommend the new side of fries. . Our server Alejandro (or Alex) was fantastic and friendly as well. read more

Waitress, Lizzy, got there pretty quick after being on a wait that was half as long as described. I'm about to mention a few things that Lizzy did that I disagree with...I'm wrong, I just disagree. She confirmed everyone's order by confirming that they wanted everything listed to make sure we got the right things. Takes a few extra seconds and I don't like it...I know, I'm wrong. As a waiter I would've taken multiple orders at once and out them in to cook. She told the table she walked by she'd be back in a moment and immediately put in our order... The food...there was a solitary piece of chicken on the nachos, no bueno. She took care of it though. Sliders came with no grilled onions. Item with two ingredients was missing one of them. Burrito wasn't hot enough to melt any of the cheese, which inadvertently cools it even more. The chili cheese fries weren't bad except they came out last some how. read more

Islands Restaurant - Like most places, tropical mostly means - add pineapple - Burgers Near Me - Long Beach, California

We used to love coming to islands but our local location closed years ago. When we saw this, we knew we had to try it. However, they are not what they used to be. We went right when they opened at 11am and were seated right away. Food was just ok. But pricing was high($44 for 2 people with only 1 soda). Our waiter was nice but not enough to make up for the cost and just ok food. read more

My girlfriend and I came in for dinner last night, not knowing what to eat. Finally, I decided to try the Huli Huli Crisp and the Shipwreck. Let me tell you, man, was I surprised at every turn! The Shipwreck made it way to me first! A coconut rum and midori cocktail tail wit OJ reminded of a piña colada meets screwdriver! It was sooooo good! The garnish was spectacular too! Who doesn't like a slice of fresh pineapple!?!? Next was the Huli Huli Crisp! I was a bit apprehensive after our server explained what it was but decided to just enjoy the adventure of it all. A sizeable fried chicken breast glazed with the afoot huli huli sauce on a pillow of shredded lettuce and topped with a pineapple ring. Blew my freaking mind!!! The Huli Huli sauce is kind of like teriyaki meets hot barbecue. If a sweet heat is your thing, then this is the sandwich for you!! Finally, the French fries, these fresh cut fries were great, especially when sprinkled with their "islands" seasoning and refills at a $1.75 each was a great bonus too! We'll definitely be back!! read more

Amazing service from Christian, food was delicious and great service! Will come back again!

First time at this Islands. Service was good, we sat at the barstool tables because it was a little busy. There were a few times when it was a little challenging to get someone either to get a refill or ranch for our fries, but overall it was good. Ambiance was perfect, with good noise level at this type of restaurant and with the Dodgers on television. The food was ok, as the server said it was going to be medium but came out well done. So my hula was dry but it was still flavorful. Fries were delicious as always. read more

Haven't been to an Islands in a while Burgers were good. Staff was attentive. Restaurant was clean. Overall decent experience read more

Family of 9 went Sunday the 20th April For dinner and our waitress was horrible very unattended gave us our bill and one of our parties was waiting for their all you can soup and she didn't even come back to take our dessert order so needless to say we paid our bill and left without getting dessert for the kids very dissatisfied read more

Greeted right away, sat immediately and Jocelyn got my order so quick. Considering I was starting from CPK not acknowledging me. That was a blessing. Jocelyn got me some nachos, to kill the hangry. She checked in me frequently. Made sure that all the hangry had been irradiated, and offered me other menu items, just incase. The vibe, is what you'd expect. Surfing on tv. Menu on table. Smiles on faces. Come here, kill the hunger and get great service, oh and reasonable prices. read more

Went here on Valentine's Day, haha. Not romantic but who cares-it's good. My dude got the hula burger with fries and I had the tuna wrap with onion rings. Their onion rings are soooo good! And we started with the tempura green beans which were also delicious. Service was awesome. Short wait and the staff was friendly and attentive. Would definitely come back! read more

Cristopher was a great! Extremely kind and respectful, very timely and attentive. Sports on TV!

Came in on Monday night with my honey, I can't remember my servers name but he was wearing a blue shirt and was wonderful! Chips and salsa and drinks came out right away. We had the Malibu burger and quesadillas and they were AMAZING. Server was super nice and very efficient even with his other tables.( I'm a server too so I just notice those things). The food runner with the tattooed arm was very helpful and wonderful as well! Host at the front was lovely too. Great experience, will be returning soon! Thank you islands!! read more

Amazing service great food. Alex energy was top tier. I recommend the yaki tacos and maui burger.

Came here on a Saturday at 2pm party of 6 we got seated quickly. Menus were on table and waiter was nice. Everything tasted good. However the reason I give a 3 stars is due to the long time to get our meals at the table over 20 minutes. Then my burger coming out rare instead of well done which took another 15 minutes for them to bring the new one out. They almost forgot a drink too. Maybe the place is understaffed in the kitchen or in servers because our server also looked really busy that's why it took long, but for this experience it wasn't too pleasant. read more

I went for happy hour while I was killing some time. Their HH beer specials are $2 any beer or $3.25 for a 16oz coors light. The regular price of their other beers is about $9. $7 for a happy hour beer is not a good deal. As I was leaving I asked them to validate my parking ticket. I was at the shopping center for less than an hour. As I was leaving the parking structure I put my ticket in the machine and it showed $3 due. It's supposed to be up to two hours free with validation. I pressed the help button and explained to the attendant. He said validation doesn't make it free, but discounted. I was only there for 45 minutes, so it was supposed be free. I guess Islands didn't validate me correctly. Beware and get your ticket validated somewhere else. A $3.25 beer turned into a $6.25 beer. read more

That was the most disgusting food I have ever had. Under cooked. Place was dirty or felt dirty. Service was horrific. Will stick to our usual CPK across the street. read more

Would honestly rate the experience closer to a 2.5 but I'll round up because it's the holiday season and thus the slow service/understaffing is kinda expected... anyway, we arrived around 2:30pm and waited about 20 minutes to get seated. Our server was really nice and took our orders fairly quickly. Drinks came out pretty fast, but food was a longer wait, and the bill took so long that we honestly thought about going up to pay instead of waiting on someone to help us haha... I could see our server waiting on other tables so I don't blame her for forgetting us but it was kinda frustrating because we were more than ready to leave at that point. As for the food: Kilauea burger: My dad asked for medium on a white bun. He said there was no seasoning/salt, literally only tasted spicy and also his burger was burnt and overdone :( Malibu burger: My mom asked for medium well, but it truly looked the same as the other two "medium" burgers. I think she enjoyed her burger though! Hawaiian burger: Glad I went with this one because the pineapple and sauce really helped create flavor in an otherwise flavorless and overcooked burger patty Island fries: These were soo disappointing, I feel like they weren't fresh? My dad tried mine and also said the same, like mine didn't taste as fresh as theirs did. They weren't crispy, had no salt (which is fine because you can add salt yourself), and there were a few random stale hard fries. I usually love fries but these were not it :( Overall, I just felt like the whole place was understaffed and disorganized today, which led to subpar quality food. Hopefully the experience is better when it's not peak holiday season! read more

Within walking distance of the Hyatt Regency Long Beach. Good place to watch the games. Lino provided amazing service. He checked on us throughout our meal, and he engaged us in conversation about sports. Ask for Lino when you go to Islands. read more

Decided to come to Islands for a little family meal and we were fortunate to have Violeta as our server. Things that made the service feel amazing were the check ups, refills, and making sure we were satisfied. She really made our time here better AND it was a busy time due to Comicon but she still provided excellent service. read more

I always love going to an Islands. My go to burger is the hula. The great thing about this location is that it's conveniently located in The Pike across the convention center. There's plenty of parking and lots of things to do around the restaurant. It's my go to if I'm in a hurry. The service is amazing here. We came with a large party and very thirsty, our waters were consistently filled, we were being checked on to make sure we were okay. Everyone ere is extremely friendly and happy. You can tell that the servers and hosts are having fun and their service shines. read more
