Hawaiian theme atmosphere, reminds you of being in the Hawaiian islands. Burgers are fantastic, especially the teriyaki burger with pineapple. Very tasty!! And their nachos are great, as well with chicken. They add a side of sour cream guacamole and salsa upon request. The crew are friendly and gave top service!! Not too long of wait for take out orders.

The burgers here are delicious!! The Kilauea burger is my go to 🔥 I wish there was an Islands restaurant closer to Montebello area! Don’t mind making the trip though it’s worth it

Islands has the best Tortilla soup you will ever taste. I've tried others and it don't come close to theirs. Foods always fresh and service is usually good

Have always loved Islands. Be aware that if you miss their chicken wrap being on the menu, they will make you one if you ask.

I recently stopped by Islands in Pasadena and absolutely loved the experience! What first grabbed my attention was the cool, laid-back, tropical atmosphere. It genuinely feels like stepping out of the city and onto a beach vacation, which is a great way to unwind. But the real reason I'll be coming back is the food. I ordered the Hawaiian Burger and it was easily one of the best I've had in a while—juicy, perfectly cooked, love the grilled pineapple to death, and served on a fresh bun. And seriously, you have to try the fresh-cut Island Fries; they are perfectly crispy and salty, making them completely addictive. I also appreciated that the service was super friendly and attentive, which definitely added to the positive vibe. It's clear why this place is a local favorite. It’s perfect for a casual lunch, a family dinner, or grabbing a couple of drinks with friends. I highly recommend making a stop at Islands if you're in the area and craving a truly great burger and a little escape!

My wife and I stepped in to see what this place was all about since we live in the area. The menu selection what's synthetic impressive. The food was good but I don't think I'll be back.

Been here so many times for 20+ years. Their burgers are still the best in town. This is the first time I tried their tortilla soup though. It was fantastic! The taste of the soup was perfectly balanced. There are enough chicken strips and veggies inside. I will order the soup again next time! However, as we mention that every time we come here now, we miss their endless fries!!! Remember they used to give us unlimited refills on the French Fries! Bring it back please, Islands!

Update for 11/23 Burgers seem a bit smaller, but still good. The lunch specials are pretty good value all things considered. No more endless fries which is a bummer. But the fries are still excellent. I need to come back again soon. The lunch burger special is too dry for my taste so ask for mayonnaise on the side so you can add it to your burger. ***************** My favorite burger place. I love burgers. They cook the patties medium so they are a little pink on the inside which is perfect. I don't like all the different burger varieties, but I have my favorites. Been coming to Islands for years, great burgers, the best fries and reasonable prices.

I’ve been coming to this location since it opened. The theming is very cool. The food was good and fresh. We went for the lunch special and happy hour. The chicken tortilla soup was good as always and salad the salad was delicious fresh and crispy. The passion ice tea is the best. We got the drink flight which the ship wreck was the tastiest. The big island ice tea was good once Jessica F remade it fresh. Jessica gave outstanding service and the manager Efran was very helpful and professional. The basket of fries is a must. The ranch and blue cheese are both good. Ten out of ten recommend this location.

We had an amazing time. Our server, David, deserves all the high praise. He exemplifies good service. My husband and I each got a Kilauea burger, his had chili, and it was absolute perfection. We also got an order of chips and salsa, truffle fries, and onion rings. Additionally, a Tiki Thai and a Big Island Iced Tea. Superb. We will be back!

I know it was the weekend but this place was hopping!! The staff were on it!! Didn't have to wait for anything. The Malibu Burger was off the hook, super juicy. I do not regret getting it. The fries were perfectly done with the absolute just right amount of crispiness. Bathrooms were super clean. Plenty of parking. Love that surfing is on one channel and football on the other. I wish I could afford to come more often. Downloaded the app and got a coupon. Score!!!

This was way better than I expected going in for the first time. The portions were surprisingly large, like I could easily see two people splitting one sandwich. Everything tasted great. It's not my favorite place, but it's definitely up there.

BEACH VIBES + SURFING MOOD with GREAT FOOD? Try Bleunami burger and Moa Kai (Tuna) sandwich for your main dishes and you'll know I didn't lie. The meat are very juicy and yummy. Buns are really great too; you can choose between white or wheat (mines are both wheat). These two come with fries as a side each. Upgrade for truffles, cheddar, etc, for a few bucks but I'd recommend leaving the original fries too because they're simply GREAT!! Crispy inside out, not too thick, lightly salted - MY (personally dreamed) PERFECT FRIES!! Feel free to ask for up to 5 complimentary sauces; honey mustard, blue cheese, ranch, bbq and 1000 island. For a healthy high fiber choice, I totally recommend Beach Bowl which is a veggie + protein mix served on top of brown rice. I went for both sauce options they have and asked for separate portions - both of them are really good OMG. For drinks (or dessert maybe?), try Lemon Freeze if you like zestiness + some ice cream feeling (it's lemonade blended with vanilla ice cream). I'm so amazed and impressed by the cherry on top - a cute & lovely surprise!! Finish your awesome meal with Fudge Brownie which is sweet hot fudge topped with vanilla ice cream. It's extremely nice and smooth-y. The fudge texture is SO GOOD!!

ABSOLUTELY a GREAT place to stop for a meal!!! Between the amazing food and the satisfying drinks, there isn't a better place to spend a Saturday night! If you come here though, be sure to try their famous Mai Tai's! They're simply superb!

We enjoyed our meal at Islands today. I'm really happy to see all of the noticable improvements since my last visit. The food was great. Michelle and her trainee Joseph were great as well.

Visited the Pasadena location this weekend. Locations where we lived in Sacramento had been closed so we were looking forward to our meal. We were sat way in the back at a table a little too small for two adults. We had a great time. Unfortunately, cleaning was started while we were eating which consisted of spraying Olde English on chairs, tables, cushions right next to and behind of where we were seated. All we could smell was the micro particles of an aerosol can of Old English. The service was great. Food was like it usually is, good and tasty. I did let our server, Karen (she was great!) know and also the person that was cleaning but all I got from the person cleaning was a "sorry, I'm just doing my job", which is unacceptable. Called in and talked to the manager. Let's hope they rethink spraying aerosols while guests are still dining. A Wikiwaki salad, one burger, fries and 1 beverage for 2 cost us $60, not including tip.

Finally, I had the opportunity to try islands out and tried the Hawaiian chicken sandwich and the mini burgers with fries. Both were really good, the food is good but a bit on the pricey side in my opinion but other than that I have no complaints.

Looked good but too much cumin in my salad and in the salsa; rice was super sour. Thank goodness I ordered fries, which were great. Loud. And servers were extra loud as they congregated outside kitchen area.

Came to try their Double Stack Burger Lunch Break special $9.99 and it was alright. The taste resembled a burger from the Habit or In in Out which are good as well. The Island Fries we're hot and crispy and the young man who served me was nice. Free parking in lot.

Awesome place to get a good burger with Hawaiian twist. I love their Hula burger which is a burger with sautéed mushrooms. Their burgers are grilled to perfection with amazing taste. But one of the best unexpected dishes is their tortilla soup. For $10, you can have unlimited soup. This soup is filled with shredded chickens and tortilla chip with delicious and authentic Mexican cooking. Typically I would just come here for their unlimited refill tortilla soup. During the pandemic, Islands has outdoor dining. They take the virus seriously. All employees wear masks and gloves. All outdoor tables are placed in good distances. We came to dine here for lunch. We had excellent service from our waitress. She got our order out in no time. Before we left, she got us a to go drink. Very thoughtful of her. Great to have leisure dining outdoor under the sun and a nice breeze.
