Islands Burbank Reviews
Food was delicious. First lunch date with a woman I'm interested in. The atmosphere was just right for us to have fun and talk which was about 3 hours. I will definitely take her there in the future.
I had the chicken nachos and a Mai Tai during happy hour on a Sun. The portion was generous especially for the price. The Mai tai was mixed perfectly, boozy and sweet. Atmosphere and service were excellent as well. Would highly recommend.
Downtown Burbank has changed so much, it's nice that islands has remained the same. I always order the same thing, the chicken soft tacos. The portions are large, and the food is well seasoned. Our waitress was quick and professional, and the bathroom is really nice for an older place. Great spot!
Visited for birthday dinner & it was good. My boyfriend ordered the Malibu burger and it was 5/5, I should’ve ordered instead of island nachos. I think they could’ve put a little more chicken for the amount of nachos they give but they were good so I’m not mad. Flights were a little too strong. I enjoyed 2/4, maybe because I’m not a drinker like that though so I enjoyed the mangonada drink! The woman that brought us our food had amazing customer service and was very polite ❤️ (Didn’t get her name 😒)
Island Restaurant has a cool tiki bar vibe that makes for a great dining experience. - The burgers here are fantastic—juicy, flavorful, and cooked just right. - I also tried the China Coast salad, which was decent but not the highlight (I’d give it a 6.5/10). - The drinks were good with beer fight and cocktail fight, and the staff was friendly and welcoming, adding to the relaxed atmosphere. If you’re looking for a chill spot with great burgers and a laid-back island feel, this is a solid choice!
Stopped here for dinner before going on a night hike with friends. It was busy but not crowded (we waited less than 10 minutes for a table) Service was okay (our waitress didn't seem too interested in our table as she did with others) but the food was top notch. 👌🏽 I ordered the Maui burger well-done (Swiss cheese, guacamole, mayo, lettuce, onion) and enjoyed it immensely. The fries were fresh (but almost tasteless) so ketchup and a side of ranch was necessary lol Overall a nice experience 😊
My friend and I stopped by Island today to grab lunch. We figured for Memorial Day they won't be busy but they were. We were told the wait would be like 20 minutes so we went to sit at the bar since it's open seating. Our waitress came quick to take our order. I got a cherry coke and got the Hawaiian burger with fries. My friend got water and got the chicken sandwich with truffle fries. I will say that your hands will get dirty from the teriyaki sauce and juice from the pineapple so if you want to avoid that, don't order the Hawaiian burger. I thought the burger was delicious though beside the mess. They also give you a lot of fries since there no more bottomless fries. My friend loved her chicken sandwich burger and truffle fries. Our server was amazing and attentive to us during our dining experience. We would come back again when we get a chance.
Scored big stumbling into this place at 8 PM. Interior? Decked out in Hawaiian vibes, totally surf-worthy. Ordered up a storm: Kilauea burger, Hawaiian burger, and a fish bowl. App? Tempura green beans.Result? Stuffed to the max, especially those truffle fries with ranch dip—killer! Just wished for bigger crinkle-cut fries. Lost track of time and found ourselves the last survivors at closing. Overall? Five stars for food and accidental late-night hangouts!
The hawaiian burger has been one of my favorites if you like pineapple and honey buttered wheat bun it's still really good, this is just one of the few burger places that will grill the patties to your order, the fries were average, we were disappointed about this Burbank location no longer has fruit punch which used to be everyones favorite, the chipotle burger( not sure its name on the menu) was also juicy and tasty, it was not spicy but okay for teens. This is a good choice for watching sports, there are tv screens every where, the staff was friendly, the waiting time was only 20 min on a rainey sunday afternoon, this is a casual family, kids friendly or for solo dining or to have a good time with friends at the bar.
Islands is always a solid place to eat. This location is no exception. We got mai tais, my bf had a burger and fries, and I had a Chop Chop salad. I loved the salad and would get it again. My bf enjoyed his food too. There’s a QR code on the tables for the menu, and I noticed after I paid that there’s a QR code on the receipt you can use to pay, which is really cool. I’ll have to do that next time. Thanks for the great meal!
Food was good. We were a party of six and our food came out in 3 installments. Mine came out last, separately, and the order was incorrect so I had to send it back meanwhile everyone was almost done with their food and I was offered yo eat the side dish of my sister's plate. By the time mine came out, everyone was done with our food. This issue was not acknowledged by management and when the bill came, no compensation or a though was given to this. I did ask to speak to the manager and after explaining what had happened, he took my meal and drink with 2 appetizers off the bill. Overall hectic and I never enjoyed my experience but I am pleased by how it was handled.
Ok so had a nice time eating here on a Friday night. Wait was about 15 minutes but that's expected. We were seated and ordered. Ordered our food and our waitress had to leave a was replaced with some one else. Ordered nachos 2 jr hamburgers and 2 plates of tacos. It's was good experience.
The restaurant is visually appealing, but the food is mediocre at best. I got the burger with sautéed mushrooms and chili cheese fries and was disappointed by both. The cook on my burger was supposed to be rare and came out medium, the overall flavor was lacking in flavor with the exception of the mushrooms which should not be the main flavor of a burger but a highlight. The chili cheese fries were overly salted and greasy. All in all I cannot recommend getting this food if you go there. Might have had a better experience if I stuck with a dip or something else but for the burger and fries it was very disappointing.
Maybe I should have stuck to a burger. But I ordered the Baja bowl with spicy chicken. It’s below edible. I didn’t enjoy it at all. My husband and son ordered burgers and fries which seemed just fine. Server was just so so. I remember Island was better before. Oh well. I don’t think I want to go back again.
"The food was very fresh and delicious, and the service was great, thanks to the attentive staff. However, the price was a bit steep - over $50 for two meals, a salad, and an Island Burger. Although the portions were generous, the cost was higher than expected. For a regular sit-down place, it's a bit pricey, but it might be justified at a higher-end establishment. Overall, I'd give it 3.5 stars, mainly due to the price. Value for money is key, and this place falls a bit short."
Before yesterday I haven’t been to Islands in over twelve years. The food is okay, Although I didn’t like the fact that I couldn’t order my burger medium rare. I have been cooking professionally for years so I know all the pros and cons for eating rare meat. I happen to enjoy bleu steaks and medium rare burgers. The service was great though but I am in no hurry to go back.
We were just at Island's for a quick bite to eat after visiting my mom who is in the hospital right now as inpatient. We were just looking to finally relax and eat after a long drive from Vegas and visiting my mom at the hospital. We were sat at a six top table by the hostess after waiting for about 10 mins. Our waiter was Timothy L who was immediately in a bad mood before he even spoke to us. He didn't greet us at all, he asked how many in our party and when we responded 2. His mood got worse. I get it's a six top but we didn't ask to be sat there. He was annoyed taking our orders even when we remained calm, composed, and asked nicely for our orders with a please and thank you. We know his job is not easy. Both myself and my BF have been servers when we were younger. Guess what? You don't take your frustration out on your customers. If you don't like your job, find a different job. But don't ruin people's dinner and you don't know what they are going through like us tonight. Be a better person. 😌
This chain used to be amazing 10 years ago. Decided to go in for dinner and get all the usual things I used to order after seeing an Islands in the area. The cool breeze was way too sweet and there was so much teriyaki sauce on the Hawaiian burger that it was inedible. We couldn't even eat more than one bite of it. The Malibu was also no good. The meat was very dry and it had an unusual oily taste to it that made it impossible to eat more than a few bites. Unquestionably the worst two burgers I've had in my life. And to add insult to injury, we ordered a burger without fries and were still charged for the fries!
