    Burger

    Tuna burger with onion rings. I will warn you, it's big. It's messy, it's yummy. Onion rings were the best I have had since high school, I'm 83 years old! Good service at the bar, I had an old fashioned with makers mark.

    Cheese burger on a gluten free bun

    Stopped by islands for an early dinner with my son. His car was at Toyota of orange for service and I was on my way to Santa ana for an appointment. He ordered a burger, he suffers from celiac disease so he needs a gluten free bun which islands provides. I wasn't very hungry so I settled on the chicken tortilla soup. Our meals were delivered quickly, served hot, and tasted good. Typical fast casual atmosphere, table service by a friendly waitress named Chloe. She checked on us several times and offered to give us refills in a to go cup for our drinks. I will return.

    Big Wave

    My son loved his Big wave and I did too. Great food specials and happy hour looked fun. Service was quick. Place is spacious. The interior could use a good deep cleaning but based on my meal the burger was cooked nicely.

    Fun atmosphere. Beach vibe. Great food choices. Service was slow yet it wasn't busy. Bar included. I will say it's disappointing to ask which side you want to- suggest options and when you get your check there is an additional charge for substituting a side. Please be upfront if there are additional charges and state what is included.

    The food and the drinks were amazing. But even more, our server George was great! He suggested amazing drinks and made sure we were taken care of! The food came fast and he always checked back with us and made sure we were comfortable. Had a few great convos with him. Very personable! The place was comfortable and clean. Thank you George!

    Burger was solid. Islands is a favorite. Service was quick and great. Great location cool staff!

    Islands Burger Bowl

    Every once in a while comfort food just hits the spot. But then I got distracted with the latest menu changes...enter the burger bowl. It was good, but the patty was WELL done and it needed onions. Stole some fries from husband, but didn't eat too many they were burnt crispy ends. Things that remind me why I don't visit Islands more often.

    Definitely one of the bigger bars in the area and I enjoy coming here. Never had any bad vibes…read moreexcept once when I saw some dude wearing a shirt with the Schutzstaffel insignia plastered on it, but pretty on-brand for Orange County so I'm not surprised. Anyway, LOTS of pool tables and a decent amount of TVs. They have a pretty extensive menu and all the things I've ordered so far have been good! The crunchy tacos are a great snack while drinking, but the salsa is severely lacking in flavor. The quality/freshness is there, but it needs flavor. The western burger is really good, but I sub the swiss for melted blue cheese instead. Bang on. Just as a heads up, it gets SUPER busy on the weekends and the parking lot is tiny, so be prepared. Like I mentioned earlier, I enjoy coming here. Friendly staff, fast service, good food & reasonable prices.

    I would have given five stars however…read more.. We had a last hurrah for a couple of us girls tonight, two of us are moving in together & our server Karen was delightful & super attentive despite the busy-ness in the bar due to the Hockey Playoffs. However I will say, the manager of the night was Joyce & our group was feeling a bit uncomfortable with her micromanaging our server and pressuring her into taking our order quicker. Karen, our server, was very professional despite the manager behaving hostile. We will be returning but we did not appreciate the manager behaving in that way!!!

    The food was great! We sat at the bar before the lunch rush…read morecame through on Saturday. Bar staff is attentive and quick to put in our orders after we sat down. Plenty of beer selections to choose from, but I actually opted for a dirty soda!! Diet Coke, vanilla cream, coconut and lime ‍ Good selection and variety of options on the menu, we want to come back to just try a mix of appetizers- they had a lot to pick from. We ordered a few apps and some entrees: Deviled eggs, Crispy Tuna, Southwest Chicken Bowl and Pepperoni Pizza. All were very tasty, we cleaned the plates! They have a lot of seating, as well as an outdoor patio. Plenty of TVs if you are wanting to watch a game. We will definitely be back for more options on the menu!

    When they're good, they're great. Good prices, good food. But lately the service has gotten so bad…read more The first couple years they opened, my wife and I would come here almost weekly. They were consistently good. Then we saw the service start to slip about 6 months ago. I'm writing this review waiting at another restaurant down the street because we just walked out of Finney's after getting seated. This is the second time we've walked out of Finney's. Both times we just got tired of sitting at our table waiting for a server to come talk to us. They see us. They know we're there. No "hey we're really busy but we'll be right with you." Just no one seems to be responsible for taking our order, and so no one even checks in. It sucks. Finney's was great. Oh and they should get rid of the skeeball. Super annoying.

    I've been going to The Hive since it first opened. Like any new business, it had a few minor…read moregrowing pains at the beginning, but it has truly grown into a standout spot in the Anaheim Hills sports and live music scene. The venue features numerous screens throughout, making it a great place to catch all your favorite local teams--especially during playoff season. The atmosphere is energetic and welcoming, perfect for fans and families alike. I'm there most often for the live music. Harry, the owner, does a fantastic job booking a wide variety of bands, particularly on weekends--that's usually when my group and I head over. There's a spacious dance floor, and it's always a fun night for everyone who attends. The food is excellent with a solid variety of options, though I'd still love to see a big, classic hot dog added to the menu someday (hint, hint, Harry!). The service is consistently great, and the staff is always friendly and attentive. If you're in the neighborhood, I highly recommend stopping by to catch a game or check out a local band on the weekend.

    Save your time and money. GO ELSEWHERE!…read more I rarely write reviews, but this experience was bad enough to warrant one. We came in with a valid coupon--not expired, nothing shady--and were flat-out refused. No reasonable explanation, no attempt to make it right, just a dismissive "we're not honoring that." For the record, we ordered two margaritas, a fountain drink an appetizer and split a taco plate. The coupon was for a free appetizer. After presenting the bill the manager stated they cannot honor the coupon because the appetizer was more than the tacos (the appetizer being tater tots, that I ADDED $7.00 carne asada to.) I asked if they could just take the tater tots off or even just take the tacos off if it were a price issue. They refused. Made no attempt to make the situation right. Unfortunately, the food didn't come close to making up for it. Everything tasted bland, poorly prepared, and overpriced for the quality. It honestly felt like zero care went into what was served. The drinks from the bar weren't any better--weak, unbalanced, and not even close to what you'd expect from a "Sports bar" What really sealed the deal was the manager's attitude. Instead of addressing the issue professionally, he came across as dismissive and uninterested. No accountability, no customer service--just a shrug and a bad vibe. Overall, this place misses the mark on every level: food, drinks, and integrity. There are too many good restaurants out there to waste time and money on one that doesn't respect its own customers. So many restaurants going out of business locally it's sad, but with events like this, it makes sense. Value the customer. Take pride in serving your community.
