The burger is where you want to focus on The sides are so so, so don't have unreasonable expectations for them. Fantastic attentive service with eagerness and joy! Can enter from the front or rear Pineapple on the burger takes it to a whole new level. Flavorful, juicy meat. Enjoy!

We came in close to closing without realizing it and they still accommodated us without the least bit of irritation so I would have give them 5 stars for that alone but if that wasn’t enough, the drinks were good AND strong, the burgers were HUGE and delicious and they gave us enough fries to be full off of alone! We opted for the truffle fries and it was probably the best decision of the night. I had the Kilauea burger, Truffle fries and a Sunset margarita. A across the board from customer service, to cleanliness, to quality food. Plus they had the USC vs UCLA game on and didn’t even think about stopping the flow of the drinks until the game ended even though they were closing!

Great service, Great food! Their burgers are great, they have good beer selection. Used to come here just for burgers, but their wings are great too! Now I go to get both wings and a burger. Their deserts are good as well, they come in a share size or for one person, their artichoke dip is good, not the best but it'll open your appetite. It just sucks that fries aren't bottomless anymore. Now you have to pay for them if you want more. Overall great restaurant though, clean and following covid procedures. I'm usually here every other week or so. Parking is located next to the restaurant, it's a parking structure. First 2 hours free with validation! I'm not very good taking pics lol SORRY!

Today is New year's Eve and we decided to eat at Island's restaurant in Glendale, mostly because, it's just a nice place to get some really good food at a fair price. You can still treat the family to a night out. Isaiah was the first person we met he was super professional and friendly. Aileen was our waitress and she was awesome. Although she was very busy, her temperament was warm, welcoming and friendly. She frequently checked our table making sure all our needs were being met. I noticed that there was really good teamwork between staff members today. Brianna, Andrew and Grayson, really worked hard and with the proper attitude. They my have had New Year's Eve plans, but they seemed genuinely pleased to be working. Although, I personally believe that they could have let the staff off early six or eight would have been a nice gesture. I do thank all of you at Island's, the cooks, bartenders, servers and the managers. I recommend this business to anyone.

A fantastic restaurant with a fantastic atmosphere! The interior design makes you feel like you're in Hawaii:) My boyfriend said their burger is delicious, but I'm not a burger person, so I ordered wings and a beach bowl while my boyfriend ordered a burger. Portion was large which we liked it and of course food was good. I like how there is a parking structure right next to the restaurant. The first two hours are free with validation.

ALWAYS A FAMILY FAVORITE- have never had a bad meal here. The tacos and burgers are usually our go to. Cannot go wrong with the fries (get ranch on the side). At this location the staff are all super friendly and polite. They were a big help because we had a baby and someone that is handicapped and they accommodated all of our seating needs.
