Came in today to Islands today for happy hour. Was seated in a very busy station. Although my area was busy my waitress Madisyn was very attentive, responsive and informative. She never hesitated to help us with grabbing small items like napkins silverware and refills on our drinks. Will be back as long as she is OUR waitress! read more

Appreciated that our party of 2 was able to be seated very quickly. I guess they are used to convention center patrons. The service was very quick, friendly and efficient and better than what I would have expected. I got a carnitas bowl (which is definitely under represented on the menu). It was perfect for lunch because I was starving - tasty and a good combo of being filling enough without being heavy as I still had 5 more miles to walk in the convention center. read more

The best Island I have eaten at in Orange County! My boyfriend and I came out for a little getaway and we were amazed at the quality and taste of the food. Service was amazing despite the rush and our server Lizzy (Elizabeth) was the best, she went above and beyond! 10/10 read more

We dined At Islands before our trip to the Aquarium and it was great! Christian was amazing and attentive to our need. Always checking to see if we needed anything. Islands is always chill and today was no different. Even though it was a Saturday and there was an event going on we got seated immediately. read more

100% recommend! Christian treated us amazing. Always checking if we need anything , very attentive

Im leaving a 1star jus because my kid liked his food. Mine however was the opposite. I ordered the Hula...basically a mushroom swiss burger. Basically zero seasoning, the mushrooms were practically raw OH and i got a giant chunk of lettuce that my patty was thrown onto, giving me a deconstructed burger i got to assemble myself. Our server was rude, rushed and un attentive. Got our drinks wrong twice, i ordered a spinach artichoke dip that i have yet to receive. I get its Sunday and its busy with a lot of people, but the runners have paid more attention than my own server. read more

Maddison our server gave us exquisite service, I was taken aback at the service we received not only from her but from the staff, it was beyond my expectations. The staff helping Maddison bring out our food was so kind and attentive. Food was good and the service was excellent. read more

Surfs up! Hawaiian vacation vibes, tropical decor and a very comforting ambiance. My friend and I arrived after attending the Anime LA convention across the street, we were seated almost imminently despite the restaurant being very busy and full. Our hostess was very cheerful and attentive, she got us our hot tea and a frozen Frose drink. We shared some cheesy nachos as well as some tasty Sliders. The Nachos were crunchy, and came with a generous portion of creamy guacamole and sour cream. The Sliders came with tons of crispy onions and had the softest buns. I enjoyed the laid back music playing and the relaxed atmosphere of this location. Next time id love to try more food as the menu was very extensive. Thank you! read more

We went on a Sunday at lunch time and were a party of 5 we were sat immediately with no wait. The service was so quick and food was delicious. Our server Christian was great. He made sure to hit our table continuously to insure we had everything we needed. He even changed the channel to the Dodger game for us. We will definitely be back. read more

Honestly the worst burger I've ever had We got the Maui and Malibu burger and it was so flavorless. I wasted 45 dollars. Never again I wish I could have gotten a refund but I did take out read more

Our server was attentive, respectful and friendly! Christian is by far the best server!! If u come to eat here ask for him!!! Thank u Christian! read more

The fries and onion rings tasted off, like the oil they were fried in hadn't been changed in a while. Was hard to enjoy the food. The service felt rushed. Our server was still taking our table's order but was already sending items to the kitchen mid-way through. I wanted to make a last-minute change, and they told me it had already been sent, but to their credit, they still made the edit for me. read more

Came in here to day to get a burger. The burger was good, nice flavor. I was attended by Emily. She sis great considering how packed the place was. Emily's service was on point. Good job Emily. read more

Alex our server went above and beyond our dining experience. He was super welcoming and had a great vibe to his service and conversation. My friend and I couldn't decide what we wanted for dessert so he made us a double brownie sundae with lots of ice cream. It was much needed after a two day weekend in long beach for the warped tour festival. He really made our last night here memorable! 10/10 service read more

Yuri at Islands was amazing! From the moment we sat down, he made us feel like family. His hospitality was top-tier, the drinks were great, and he was always checking in to make sure everything was perfect. You can tell he genuinely cares about his guests. Definitely one of the best server experiences I've had ask for Yuri if you're dining here! read more

Came on New Year's Eve which was super busy. The wait was said to be 5-10 min, and took closer to 15 (which honestly is pretty good). Took a minute for our waiter to get to us, but it's because they are swamped. Once he did tho, we immediately placed our order, and the food came out in about 10 min. Alex was super kind to us the entire evening, and treated us really well even tho he was running around. My new favorite server here :) when we requested anything additional, it was promptly brought to us. This island's used to have pretty long wait times, so I'm glad they seemed to have improved! read more

Dined as a single and was sat quickly. Took a bit for the server to make her way over, but was super nice and attentive. Ordered the lunch special burger and fries, which arrived quickly. It was a good value and while the fries were ok, as they cooled, they were not so great. Overall a good value and a step or two above fast food. read more

Dining out is a rare treat for my family, and when we do, we hope to make it a special occasion. Unfortunately, our visit to your Long Beach location last night was anything but that. I'm honestly at a loss for words over how poorly we were treated. Although we were seated fairly quickly on the patio with our party of seven, things quickly took a turn. We sat unattended for nearly 30 minutes until I finally had to flag down another server just to ask if we could place our order. When our waitress eventually approached us, she seemed clearly overwhelmed and, frankly, made us feel like an inconvenience rather than welcomed guests. After placing our food and drink order, another 20 minutes passed without any drinks arriving. I had to go back inside to ask again, at which point a manager -- who mentioned he had only been there a week -- came to apologize. I told him how frustrated we were and that I didn't want to pay for a meal after such poor service. He said he would check on our order, brought our drinks, and vaguely stated that we would be "comped," but then mentioned he had to leave and that another manager would follow up with us. That never happened. Oddly, one plate was brought out well before the others, so one person had to eat alone while the rest of us waited another 10 minutes for the rest of our meals. The waitress reappeared briefly later, but provided no explanation or meaningful service -- just a full-priced check for nearly $140, with no comps applied and no manager follow-up. We once again went inside to ask why nothing had been adjusted. Only a small discount was applied, despite everything we had experienced. This entire ordeal left us stressed, anxious, and deeply disappointed. Dining out should be an enjoyable experience -- especially for families like mine, who don't do it often due to financial constraints. This was the opposite. The team at this location should be truly ashamed of how this was handled. No guest should ever be made to feel this way. read more

Came with my family for the first time today and we were served by Christian. He was super welcoming and patient. Him being our server made the experience amazing. The food was super good too!!! Will definitely be coming back!!!!:) read more

Chris was very attentive and gave great service. Food was really tasty and as ordered. Excellent overall experience.

12/19/24 Dined here for lunch and I ordered the nachos with chicken ($17.00) for the table. I had a BLT (14.00) that's not on the menu. It's served on a soft hamburger bun and was served with way too much mayonnaise for my taste. The nachos were pretty good but I would not order the BLT again. Service was good. Would return but wouldn't go out of my way. read more

Visited on: 5/21/22 THE EXPERIENCE: We came here due to attending the Women's Expo at the Long Beach Convention Center. When we walked in we waited a few mins and a hostess walked up and greeted us. Then a waitress came and brought us to our table. Wished I could say I knew her name - she greeted us but failed to mention her name. We were seated at a nice booth -very spacious (no outdoor seating was available). We were given drinks to start and placed our orders OUR ORDER: Endless Tortilla Soup with Tortilla chips on the side, sweet potato fries, Mia Crisp (modified) - wheat bread, lettuce, tomato, purple onions added guacamole and bbq sauce on the side w/ regular fries. Okay, so EVERYONE knows that it's a no-no to bring out one persons meal without bringing out the other, right? Well, apparently everyone else knows this except this place! The tortilla soup was brought out and I just sat there waiting and waiting and waiting. WHEN I DID GET MY meal the fries were hard like they had been sitting and then the cook re-fried them to make them hot (I'm a foodie- you can't pull one over on me... mkay!) My burger didn't come with the bbq sauce that I asked for. I had to tell the waitress (whose name I still don't know) that I wanted bbq sauce and her response was, "Oh, you want a side of bbq sauce?" I'm thinking ummmm yeah that's what I asked for originally but I just said "yes". I also asked for fresh fries and was told, "It will take about 3 mins, is that okay?" 3 MINS or so later... I get the fries I should have gotten to start. Hot, fresh, seasoned... WOULD I RECOMMEND? WOULD I RETURN? I would not recommend this location to anyone. I would not return here if it was free. You should never bring out 1 person's food without bringing the others. You should pay attention when the customers glass needs to be refilled. You should most importantly pay attention to a persons order and bring them what they ordered and the food be fresh. Yeah, no. Will not return. 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.
