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.

A Southern California staple!

by angeliquor08 at Citysearch

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
