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.

Kid Friendly

by lesley1una

Very kid friendly enviroment! Waiter was very nice. The wait for our food was about 30 minutes which was long, especially when you have kids. The food was good. We were seated right away, it was somewhat busy (we went on a Sunday evening). The waiter came by and asked my husband if he wanted a refill on his drink (when we were done with our dinner) and he said yes, at that time I asked for dessert and the bill, I didn't want to wait long again, all we ordered for dessert was ice cream for the kids and it still took long! When the waiter returned he brought everything but the the refill on the drink. My husband reminded him about the soda and when he brought it back there was stuff floating in the cup. Although it was kid friendly I doubt we will go back....the food was too long to have waited for.

  • Pros: Kid friendly
  • Cons: Food took too long! Refill of soda had stuff floating in it!

Great customer service

by tyneshad

This place has an awesome atmosphere. The wait time was rather long, but our server made up for it tremendously. She was extremely helpful and very friendly. The cheese fries were great and my burger was one of the juiciest I've tasted.

Good Burgers/ lunch spot

by cubasianchica

Islands is like a burger place above McDonalds. It has a little more class. They have other stuff besides burgers and fries. Good good and nice staff. Food takes a little bit some times. Sometimes the wait can be long too.

  • Pros: good food
  • Cons: wait too long
