Fine Burgers and Drinks

Known for serving the tastiest big burgers in a fun, tropical atmosphere, Islands appeals to surfers of all ages. Chow down on flavorful burgers, specialty salads and signature soft tacos while watching surf videos. And don't forget to try a big basket of fresh cut fries with the skins on. Enjoy Happy Hour with half-price appetizers and drink specials in the bar area Monday through Friday, 4 - 7pm. Gremmies (surfers under 12) are always welcome.

Editorial Review for Islands – by Jennifer Schwartz

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. Served in a basket with fork and knife, thick beef patties come grilled to order with lettuce, tomato and any variety of extras. For a lighter bite, try one of the soft tacos. Filled with either fish or chicken, the wraps are inauthentic, but tasty. Yaki tacos are stuffed with teriyaki chicken, chives, pineapple and jack cheese. Whatever you order, don't forget the fries. These hand-cut, super-crispy sticks are addicting, especially when dipped in creamy ranch dressing.
