Good burgers, Very filling 6/26/2007

They make a fine burger, massive and juicy. Get a side of curly fries with some ranch dressing for that extra bit of arterial bliss, followed by a trip to the doc for angioplasty...ENJOY! more

Good food, at good prices 6/25/2007

Just went to Islands yesterday. I was happy with their wide variety of selection and I thought their prices were fairly set. more

Terrible! Why Would Anyone in So Cal Eat A Burger Here!? 1/13/2007

So Cal is home to some of the finest hamburger establishments in the US. We have In N Out, Fatburger, The Apple Pan, Hamburger Habit; all inexpensive high quality burger joints worthy of a letter home to Mom. If you want a good solid burger at a place with more diverse food options, please do not go to Islands. The meat is horrible (the last time I ate there there was crunchies in the patty), the cheese is low quality the tomatoes are unripe and it is priced like a good restraunts burger (not too far off from the Cheescake factory, which has better food and service). The fries used to be good, but the last two times I was there they were limp and greasy. They probably changed their supplier. I have fond memories of this place from childhood, but either my tastes have improved, or the food quality has declined significantly. Pros: Good Ranch Dressing, Diverse Food Options Cons: The Food, All of It more

A Welcome Spot for Parents 11/24/2006

It's so nice to take your little one to a bright, friendly, tasty spot like Islands. I've never had a bad experience here, which says a lot since I end up here so often. The teriyaki burger (I order mine with a bean patty, which is a nice option to have) is pretty great, if a little drippy, and the awesome cheese fries come in a giant portion. more

Good slushie margarita 11/20/2006

One of my guilty pleasures are those margaritas you get out of a giant slushie machine and Islands delivers. They're perfectly smooth and goes great before some shopping at the Westside Pavillion. more

nice lunch spot 11/9/2006

a good place to grab a burger, basket of fries, and chocolate shake - if you're really feeling sinful. kinda miffed that fries aren't included with your burger order and doesn't make sense that a veggie burger costs more than a regular burger, but otherwise recommended when you're in the mood for a non-fast food burger. more

Good Burgers, and Margaritas 11/2/2006

This place is great to go to if you want a nice relaxing casual meal. The burgers are great, and so many to choose from. Great Margaritas, I recommend this place if you want to have a good meal and not have to pay an arm and a leg for it. Pros: Burgers are great more

Best Burgers 7/12/2006

By far the best burgers in the LA area. The ambiance & decor is amazing & the service is surprising for a place you visit for burgers. My wife also loves the salads. Pros: Very friendly - family oriented staff more

My favorite burger place! 3/23/2006

Islands never fails to serve a great meal with friendly prompt waiters and relaxing ambience. Parking is a little difficult during certain hours if you don't valet but there are meters on the street. A great place to hang out with friends! Pros: food, service Cons: parking more

At least I can watch surfing..... 12/4/2005

Once they got rid of the ""Lu'au Tacos,"" I had no reason to go back. Typical chain restaurant food....aka Chevy's, Cheescake Factory, etc..... Crappy food, crappy service, nice looking restaurant. The only thing Islands has now, is the fact that i can watch surfing and snowboarding on the many TV's located throughout. more

best burgers 10/7/2004

i can't believe some of the negative things people say about this place. they must work for in n out cuz there really is no comparison. island's burgers like the hawaiin and hula are great.. half a pound of juicy beef with great fresh toppings. one of islands patty's is as much beef as 2 in n out burgers and tastier too. island's fries were voted best of L.A. on some show on NBC. their tacos are good too, and the service is great. waitresses fill yur drink up before you even have time to finish the one your on. Pros: food, service more

Terrible Service 6/22/2004

Islands is not famous for their hamburgers, but for their terrible service, specially this location (pico west LA) I have been there twice and both times I had very bad service. The servers forget things, they are indifferent, talk to much on the back and dissapear without notice. The manager is never there. I will never go back to this location. The hamburgers are not that good, the french fries are greasy and only small pieces of it. You get a better hamburger, better service and better value at Carl's Jr. Pros: none, none, none Cons: , greasy fries, little pieces of frie more

The burgers and tacos are very good. However, it is somewhat pricey considering you don't get fries with your meal. Pros: service, food, kid friendly more

Great Value 3/3/2003

We tried this place as it was suggested by friends. We enjoyed the burger and fries. The atmosphere is fun, and the waiters were friendly and efficient. We can understand why there appears to be a crowd during the lunch-rush, but feel the wait was worth it. We will return and tell our friends about this place as well. Pros: Good food, Good prices, Good service Cons: Crowded more

More burgers? 2/20/2003

This place doesn't have the ""ultimate burger"" to choose from, depends on what you like. The atmosphere is nice..relaxing and not uptight at all. I go here to eat for lunch all the time, and no matter how busy they are, they seem to be well on top of things. The menu price isn't too expensive. Ideally you'll spend at least $6.50 on a burger. Their Cheddar Fries are filling as well!! Bottomless drinks for $1.90 which is pretty good, even for soda. Parking here is DREADFUL! Don't park in the residential area nearby, the ticketing officers down here ticket like crazy! Even if your a minute over the time! You could try parking at the Westside Pavillion, and walking. I know very few that do that. Very good for groups too! Pros: Seated fast Cons: Hard to find parking, Somewhat Pricey more

mmm burgers 1/19/2003

I've always liked Islands. Yes its cheesy the whole tropical decor but the food is just plain good. Great place for burger/fries and beer! Not fair to compare it In-N-Out, which is a better than average fast food burger. Islands is NOT a fast food burger Pros: burger,fries,beer Cons: too "kiddy"oriented more

with $7 burgers you pay $5 for fries too 1/7/2003

Island's a mediocre, not exceptional... honestly, i'm really impressed with their salads and tacos (especially China Coast! everybody should try that) one thing that's really ridiculous about this place is their price. burgers are not that big and way too expensive. the biggest turnout is you have to order fries separately for $7 burgers!!! you get the same quality at In n out for only $4.50! the lighting is too dim, i could hardly look at people sitting right in front of me. if you're going for burgers, just go to In 'n out... Pros: Great Salad, Okay service Cons: expensive burgers, no fries with burgers more
