Good service, typical Islands food

The food here was pretty much what you can expect from any Islands restaurant - nothing special or exciting, but it was well prepared and served fast. Our server was courteous, attentive and took good care of us. It was not particularly busy, so I can't say what it is like when there is a big crowd.

Try The Tortilla Soup

Everything there is alright. The food is good, the service (when they're not crowded) is good, and the ambiance is casual.

The one thing they are very good at is the tortilla soup.

I used to love this place, but am done, now

Twice now we've been here around 9:15, 9:30, and basically been told to leave. They're so busy that by the time we got in, the kitchen would be closed. If you're that busy, maybe you stay open later! The food's good, and the price is...right, if you can make it on time. But if you do something else and then want to go eat, forget this place. I guess they need to get their servers home...

We’ve been to several Island Restaurants and this location was great!

Jorge was our server and he was so genuinely friendly and super nice! He made sure we never had to ask for refills, that our food was perfectly cooked and checked on us a...few times during our meal to see if we needed anything. He brought out a birthday dessert for my 90+ year old aunt and she loved it. Thanks, Jorge!

Was our first time at this particular Islands and we certainly weren't disappointed!
The food, as expected, was super tasty, piping hot and great value.
And the dessert was delicious, recommended by our outstandingly attentive and friendly server, Garrison!
Great meal, GREAT server . ....Highly Recommended!

Great burgers ? and service was great friendly atmosphere I would visit again

Good service and clean eating place

Three hamburgers with fries. chips and guacamole. Buffalo wings and 6 beers $130???? Are you serious?? No way i would recommend it. I would rather go to the CheeseCake Factory have stake and salmon and a bottle of wine for all that money. It’s a rip-off

We stopped for lunch. The burgers were ok, nothing special. Service was really slow and the place was almost empty at around 5 pm (we went for a late lunch). Had to ask for refills because the servers seems distracted on their phones. Kind of...expensive for mediocre food and marginal service. Its was ok but wouldn't go back.

We always come to Islands if we feel like we want to be transported to the tropics. Seriously the food is great depending what you like. I love their hawaiian burgers. This is the reason why I come to this place and it never disappoints....Always great service. I do recommend this place.

Okay I understand that my party had to wait in order to get tables, but it took a half hour to seat us into two booths. Squishing 15 people. We could have had tables that where readily available. But nope, they where making us wait for those back booths.

Pretty good burgers of all types with various toppings and treatments. Don't go for the wilted salads that are so pitiful we had to return it and order something else. The wait staff was extremely pleasant and accommodating despite that disappointment; the switch was made...without any fuss. Burgers are tasty, grilled, big and a little bit greasy only. Island is basically a sports bar with...

I had high hopes for my visit to Islands since I've heard good things about it. Staff is friendly enough and atmosphere is nice as well. Menu seemed pretty good till I ordered my burger and was greeted with a resounding no when I asked for med rare. Strike one. My coke gets delivered to our table and is flat. Strike two. Wait time for our food was reasonable. First bite into my burger and you...

Why are their cheese fries so epic? Barely had room for our entrees – Grilled Veggie Tacos… …with grilled peppers, onion, cheddar, corn, black beans and avocado.

Islands used to be, for me and my buddies a frequent hangout. It was a cheap place that we’d all enjoy before or after a movie. You know. You roll in there for a beer, maybe share a plate of nachos, or if you really wanted to splurge, you’d get a sandwich.

Great Burger Lunch Place. Wondered in from the street into this restaurant looking for lunch. You can have your choice of meat patty on their variety of toppings and sauces. I had the Nalu Nalu burger with turkey patty. It was so moist and juicy that I had to eat it with a fork - it totally fell apart (which I was ok with). I think the garlic aoli and carmelized onions made it messy to eat, but...

Islands has gone done hill. I admit Islands was once one of my favorite places. That was when I was living on the Westside and went to the Islands on Pico very often. But when I moved over the hill to Burbank I went to Islands a few times and it never seemed to be the same quality food. I went again last month and found the meals very salty and cold. The french fries were awful..and my friend...

I visited this Islands Restaurant in Burbank with a friend on a recent Saturday just after noon. We expected that we'd run into a crowd - it's the holiday shopping season, and we were just blocks away from the Media Center mall. However, we were seated and served promptly and politely. My friend and I always order the Cabo Loco - the grilled pork soft tacos with that killer chili-cilantro sauce...

Service is by far the best at the location in Burbank. I've been to several Islands locations and the service varies but the food is always great - with the exception of the french fries. The french fries are dry - IMO - and the burgers are not only cooked to perfection but seasoned just right. I would avoid the tacos and anyone in love with BLT's would love what they have to offer - although...

If Gilligan opened a burger joint, this would be it.

The SceneWith 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....

Bad Service

The service is horrible. It took the server 20 minutes to come back with just soda. All my party ordered where salads which apperently take half an hour to make. All this on during lunch on a weekday! The restaurant was not crowded at all so it shouldn't be an understaffing problem. The Islands chain is good but the Burbank location is bad. Only come here if you have time to waste.

Great chain restaurant, the Burbank location features some of the friendliest and most attentive servers, and meals are served promptly. Parking at this location can be a challenge on weekends though. Over the past year, two of my favorite menu items were eliminated or substantially reworked (bring back the Cabo soft tacos -- the Cabo Loco is too bland!), and menu prices have crept up about...
