    My family and I visited this restaurant as part of a school fundraiser. FYI, islands is very pro-community and offers organizations an opportunity to earn 20% of all proceeds for their group's projects and activities. During this recent visit, service was OUTSTANDING! Each employee who assisted us went above and beyond in making us feel welcome and each employee provided superior service. Our group's (30 + in our group) food was prepared to perfection and was very tasty while portion sizes were huge. The decor here is very nice and centered about beach life which I personally LOVE! Overall, this was a very positive dining experience.

    Patty melt with onion strings

    The service was great. We had a new worker. His name was GaBe and he was very tentative and nice and island should be happy to have him me and my sister have not been here before and I really enjoyed the patty melt and she really enjoyed the tacos and again the service made it all the better will definitely be back

    Almost a five star experience. Host staff were very welcoming. Wait staff very courteous and professional. Checked on us regularly. Meal was very good: Hawaiian Burger, Maui Burger, Cheesy Fries. If you are offered scallions for the cheesy fries, take it. Really wakes up the fries. The only issue was the drink. Chose the Pineapple & Prickly Pear based on the picture. Looked so delicious. What came out was tasty but didn't look like the picture. Was offered a refill. The second one looked the same. I wouldn't request it again but will return for the food and service.

    Great food and a fun vibe to hang out on Sunday football! The burgers are always delicious, and my Mai Tai was strong... (really hit the spot.) The hostess were friendly and the our waiter was good but did forget our cup of ice.... They just extended Sunday all day happy hour....

    This review is strictly for the salad I had. I had the kobb salad with the eggs, chicken and blue cheese. It was good but I could hardly taste the eggs because so little bit in the salad. The chicken was dry and NOT much chicken as well. When the salad arrived I was a bit surprised because of the size normally when a salad is ordered you expect a little more. The service was outstanding our waiter Christian was very attentive and pleasant. We originally thought it was meant to be dark then the manager came by with a light bulb and said so sorry and replaced the light bulb. Lol Next time an all you can eat soup will be best.

    Mai Tai with grenadine and Long Island ice tea
    Gloria G.

    It is located in the Eastland Shopping Center on the top level. It has plenty of parking in front and the entrance is along the walkway. It is clean and welcoming, you have to wait for the hostess to seat you. Happy Hour is allowed throughout the restaurant which makes it perfect for large groups. We ordered drinks and my husband said grenadine after he ordered meaning for the mai tai- the girl brought his Long Island with grenadine and it tasted like beer. I'm not blaming the server, it's his fault - but it was funny when he took a drink. The food came out perfect - they were both crispy and flavorful especially added the sauce - buffalo and ranch - Yum!

    Always enjoy the food here and appreciate the friendly staff and clean tables. The burger bowls are like burger salads, will return to try more.

    Toucan

    My family and I came here after shopping around at IKEA and it was such a great time!! We went on a Sunday around 1 and we were sat right away! Our server came up to us pretty quickly and was really helpful answering any questions we had! The food also came out pretty quickly! Each of the burgers/sandwiches we got were really flavorful!! I was also pretty impressed that they offer vegan options for the burgers as well (which my sister said was pretty good). The Toucan sandwich was also pretty good -- just a little messy from the sauce. All the food here was really good and I would definitely recommend trying it out!! The only thing that was a little bit of a bummer was that a lot of the fries were definitely overcooked for each of us. Other than that, it was a really nice ambiance with TVs all around and lots of seating available both inside and out!

    Island Nachos with chicken
    Victor D.

    First time coming to Islands in a couple of years. The atmosphere is the best part. I order nachos and added chicken, the person I was with ordered one of their bowls. We also shared their sliders. The staff was helpful. Taste-wise everything was alright.

    Spinach artichoke dip
    Valerie G.

    Customer service was great! Really enjoyed the atmosphere and seating. I couldn't wait to try their new protein bowls. I love how they gave me so much mushrooms! Hate when places skimp on the mushrooms. Would definitely come back

    Killer Kiluea.
    Jowel G.

    It's $10 double burger with fries on the islands app. If you frequently come to islands and collect points you might be lucky and have the $10 deal waiting for you on the app. I was glad to end the weekend with the burger, fries and a whiskey sour! It's always a laid back vibe with good service from the staff. Cheers!

He loved the burger and tots and said the mac n cheese was alright. I ordered the Cesar salad wrap with tots and I thought it was great! My only complaint was the chicken portion to salad was a little slim but, the crispy tots made up for it. The star of the show was the bread pudding! I'm not a huge fan of soggy bread but, this one was perfect. It had candied walnuts, caramel, vanilla ice cream and apples. Probably some of the best bread pudding I've had. Since we were starving, I didn't get food pics but, I would absolutely recommend dining here for a good time and good food.

As I pulled up to the parking lot, I noticed they had an outdoor seating area, which is really nice on hot days. It looked like a great spot to hang out with friends and enjoy a drink in the evening. When I went inside, I immediately liked the camping and outdoor vibes. The whole place has that rustic, lodge-style feel that makes it stand out. They had a bunch of pinball machines, which was a fun surprise, and there were murals all around the walls -- including ones of Lakers legend Kobe and the LA Dodgers. It definitely gives off strong local pride and a laid-back atmosphere. The inside is very spacious, with plenty of room to move around and a lot of TV screens, making it a solid spot to catch a game. I could easily see myself coming back to watch a Dodgers game there. That said, my experience at the bar wasn't the best. When I stepped into line to order, it seemed like the two beertenders were a bit distracted. There was a group of ladies sitting at the bar, and it felt like they were getting most of the attention. Usually, beertenders are welcoming and might ask something like, "Is this your first time here?" but the guy with the long mustache who served me gave off more of a "What do you want?" vibe. I asked for a taster, and he did provide one, but I didn't feel comfortable enough to ask to try anything else. At other breweries, I usually feel encouraged to explore the menu a bit more. Instead, I just winged it and ordered the Pink Lemonade Seltzer. It was okay, but compared to a lot of seltzers out there now, it wasn't very flavorful. It almost had a slight medicine-like taste. Because I didn't really feel the love from the beertenders, I ended up having just one drink and heading out. The space itself has a lot going for it -- great theme, fun games, plenty of TVs, and nice outdoor seating -- but I definitely think there's room for improvement in the customer service department. I might give it another try in the future, especially to catch a Dodgers game, but I'm hoping for a warmer, more welcoming experience next time.

The ranch was different but good. This brewery is family friendly and pet friendly.

I've come here several times over the past couple years and it's more and more dead at the restaurant every time. The waitresses are absolutely dreadful. Every request is forgotten or takes 20 mins to arrive at the table. When we arrived we waited 20 mins for a waitress. We asked for some sauce, they forgot. We ordered a pizza, which was delivered to the wrong table. When we wanted to leave, the check took 20 mins as well. Now I have a crying baby and I'm waiting for them to try and split the check two ways and I eventually give up knowing that the task is too much for them to handle and just pay it all on one card. We had to track down the waitresses multiple times. It's like they have NO ability to anticipate the needs of their customers. "They ordered, pizza, maybe I should bring some plates". Nope! "They'll probably want their sauce before the food item is ICE COLD". Nope! Anytime we went into the restaurant the girls were on their phones. There were five tables in the restaurant tonight so there really was no excuse. I think this will be the last time I ever go to this restaurant. Unfortunately, the reputation of the old Congregation Ale House kept me coming back even when time after time, the service was abysmal, however, now that Congregation's former glory is thoroughly tarnished I can honestly say that I will not be coming back and I encourage everyone else to do the same. Quality like this cannot be tolerated. Travis, the former owner, would be ashamed of this fall from grace. R.I.P. Congregation Ale House
