The Scene – With thatched umbrellas, photos of crashing waves, stuffed toucans and a soundtrack of twangy '60s surf-rock, it doesn't take a genius to figure out this chain's theme. Yep, it's beach, burgers and plenty of kitsch. The jovial atmosphere and service (not to mention a full-service bar) lures lunching business folk, beer-drinking college students and families with food-throwing toddlers. – – The Food – Like the decor, the menu is a no-brainer--sandwiches, salads, fries and burgers. Served in a basket with fork and knife, thick beef patties come grilled to…

Excellent burgers, delicious fries and onion rings!
by BigReddy
When I was growing up, we always went to Island's for special occasions. To this day, I love a good burger--and Island's burgers are my favorite. I usually get the Hula (with sauteed 'shrooms). The burgers are very juicy and tender, the inside of the buns just lightly crisped. The fries and onion rings are just right--just enough oil and not too salty. Service is always good when I go. There can be a wait during peak hours. Desserts are also yummy and rich.
- Pros: Fresh food, just the way burgers and fries should be made.

A Southern California staple!
by angeliquor08
Many of my adolescent nights were spent at Islands with friends. It's a very popular restaurant among residents of the Pasadena area. It's one of those restaurants that everyone can agree on because they serve classic all-American food in a playful atmosphere.
- Pros: pretty cheap, fast service
- Cons: not very healthy

Good happy hour: $1 off beer, and 1/2 off appetizers....plus it goes until 7pm, it gives you decent enough time to get there after work.
- Pros: happy hour, greasy food
