Hands down the absolute best hamburger I have ever had. My first time there and it was a wonderful experience. Waitress was very nice and most everything was great. Fries for me were over cooked, dried out and so I didn’t eat em but I wasn’t there for that so doesn’t matter lol an to top it off had desert and was one of my favorites. Thank you so much

It’s an islands. Always worth it and nice service. Drinks are worth the price and there chicken sandwiches are my favorite to always get. I do recommend there burgers as well. Nachos are underrated in my opinion. Get cheddar fries on the side or a full order. Have ranch on the side. So worth it!

Islands is one of those iconic chain restaurants that has truly stood the test of time, consistently delivering mouthwatering dishes that keep customers coming back for more. Our experience was made even better by our server, Nina, who was simply fantastic. She made sure we had everything we needed, seamlessly enhancing our dining experience.
We kicked things off with a heaping plate of nachos, and let me tell you, they were a game-changer. Picture crispy chips generously smothered in gooey melted cheese, topped with fresh tomatoes, zesty jalapeños, a dollop of sour cream, creamy guacamole, and a side of flavorful salsa. Each bite was a delight, especially with the extra cheese that pooled on the plate, perfect for scooping up with the bottom chips.
The drinks were nice and cold, hitting the spot. Then came our two burgers, cooked to perfection—juicy and full of flavor. And what better way to wrap up such a delicious meal than with a rich, decadent mud pie? It was the cherry on top of an already fantastic experience.
With impeccable service, scrumptious food, and prices that won’t break the bank, Islands continues to impress—making it a must-visit spot for any burger lover!

On the Saturday after Thanksgiving, my sister, her husband, and I had dinner here. The restaurant was very clean and the service was outstanding. Our server, Riley, was beyond courteous. She carried herself in a very professional manner and made sure that our order was exact and served in a timely manner. My sister lives out of state and had never been to Islands. She was beyond impressed not just with Riley’s attentiveness but also with the GREAT service. We made sure to let Mike, the manager, know of our very pleasant dining experience.
Mike and Riley, thank you for your hospitality. I’ll be sure to bring my sister back here the next time she’s in town. Happy Holidays to you both!

First time there, I ordered a baja bowl, cesar salad and Kilauea burger. The burger was really good, the onion fried into the burger had a good flavor, slider a beer and a diet coke drinks.

Service was excellent, although I would have been thankful if we were given more than 1 napkin per burger. Food was incredible. Food came out fast as well.
I asked the waitress to please also pay for a veterans meal and she rushed as fast as she could to refund them the change they had set out. I was so happy she rushed to keep it a secret.

I want to start off by saying that I love Islands. I love their drinks and food. It’s a great place to go with family and friends for good food, drinks, and TV. So when I noticed the location in Vista was much closer to me than the Carlsbad location, I had to check it out!
Although this location was different, I was instantly greeted by Mike with a warm smile and seated in a booth as requested. He showed me the current deals and let us know our server would be with us shortly. Our server, Ethan, was funny and quick. He got our food and drinks started right away, and we received them soon after.
When my quesadilla arrived, I was immediately unsatisfied. It didn’t look like what I remembered, so I told the server, and Mike came out to check on the situation. Mike was patient, listened to my concerns, and explained that I had mistaken the chicken quesadilla for the spicy quesadilla. He immediately had the correct one started in the kitchen. Once I received it, I realized he was right and I had been mistaken.
What stood out to me most was Mike’s patience and willingness to listen. He made me feel heard, and I truly appreciated his effort. I will definitely return to this location again. Overall, the hospitality, cleanliness, and quality of the restaurant were excellent.

Food is good but they continuously keep raising the prices. My favorite item on the menu last year was $15, then went to $17 about 6 months ago. Now it’s $19. That’s a big jump in one year.

Great place for a family dinner or a place to swing by for a cocktail or two. Not an overly crowded atmosphere. Depends on your flavor but definitely a good go to.

Im from San Diego, but am in the military. Everytime I come to town I have to make at least one stop at Islands and get their Pineapple Teriyaki Hawaiian Burger along with their cheesy fries. Service is tops and surfing, snowboarding, and other cool sports videos are showing all around the restaurant. Come get some great eats. I promise they will not disappoint.
