Islands Temecula Reviews
This Islands restaurant has some of the best burgers, fries, milkshakes, and chicken tenders ever in this part of Temecula. It is very delicious and affordable. I definitely recommend it!
Amanda was a great waitress! She took care of us and we had a very little wait for our food and refills. She was very personable and professional. We were sad we couldn't hear the Superbowl since their speakers didn't work as we were looking forward to that.
We came in for lunch today. Cindy was our server. She is so friendly and gave us amazing customer service! The food came out quick, everything was fresh. We’ll definitely be back and ask for Cindy-she’s the best!
My family and I had an amazing experience at Islands in Temecula. The website said they were open until 9:30, but when we arrived, they had technically just closed — it turned out to be a Google listing issue. Even so, the manager Mike went above and beyond to make sure we were still able to come in and enjoy our meal. I was treating my family that night, and Mike made us feel completely welcome. His kindness and hospitality were top-notch from start to finish. We’ve been coming to Islands for years, but this was by far the best experience we’ve ever had. If you’re looking for great food, a fun atmosphere, and a team that truly cares about their guests, go check out Islands in Temecula. Huge thanks again to Mike and the staff for making our night so special!
Today was my birthday and I did tell them which may have devastating effect on my review of them. Waiter made quick work of my order made so effective suggestions and I enjoyed the fries with cheese AND chili. She told me to modify the fries with the meal to reduce the price and because it was my birthday the removed the brownie and ice cream from my bill. Can't guarantee that last part but still pretty awesome.
Haven't been to an Island's in over 20yrs and the last time I went was to the one that was in Irvine. I have to say, I was impressed. I ordered the Toucan Burger with fries as well as the Island's Mango IPA. Everything across the board was great. I have zero complaints. Got seated almost instantly even though it was busy and really enjoyed my dinner.
My children treated me to try Islands Restaurant, the ambiance of this place is good, the interior and atmosphere was very welcoming! Our server was very nice and always made sure that we were okay! Their fries and onion rings and the kilauea berger was excellent, it was delicious and worth it. Also the drinks were very good, we had a few tropical flights ✈️ 🙂 and they were pretty good 👍. I can say i will be coming back again 100% satisfied.
We’ve visited this location a few times and it is always consistently good. This time I felt our server really went above to make me smile. I had a coupon for a free dessert for my birthday and our server actually came out with a candle on the cake for me. It seems like a small thing, but I hadn’t gotten a cake or anything otherwise and it really made my day.
We got there right at open. We were seated shortly after. When we sat down there was little mites all over. Our server notified manager and they got to it. When it is hot they come from outside so don't sit by the window. Drinks came and the lemonade freeze with a strawberry blended in is really good. I had the Maui burger which also was good. Me and my family enjoyed. Thanks very much.
We like Islands and with the grandkids visiting we decided to DoorDash us some dinner from Islands. Our order included Kalua Pork Tacos, 2 Jr Waves with cheese, fries for both and the Bleunami Burger with bacon and Onion Rings on the side. Order arrived when promised, nothing missing. The Kalua Pork Tacos were pretty damn good. The Bleunami Burger was juicy, cooked perfectly and very flavorful as was the Onion Rings. Grandkids demolished their Jr Waves with cheese so we acknowledged that as a thumbs up from them. Price was pretty good for the quality and quantity of food. Even with delivery Islands provided us with a very good dinner. Easy 4 stars.
Our family is a huge fan of Islands! Unfortunately, our experience today was less than excellent. Our family of 7 was sat at a 6 person table; granted, we did have a couple of kids, but still, we were cramped. Initially, our waitress brought waters but then did not check on us again for a very long time. We had been ready and waiting to order. We would have gotten appetizers but by the time the waitress came around, we just wanted to get the order in. Because of this late order, our drinks came out at almost the same time as our food. Huge bummer for enjoying both. We asked for some additional sauces, but were brought less than asked for but again, didn’t want to bother asking again. Our waitress didn’t stop by again at all until the checks. We definitely didn’t get our drinks refilled. Figure this might’ve just been an off day or time for the waitress, but we still felt a little disappointed for such poor customer service. Update from 7/26/24 My husband and I went back and sat at the bar this time. The waitress obviously had too many tables to cover. We sat AT THE BAR waiting to order for 20 minutes. I’d ordered a burger, WELL DONE, with NO ONIONS. Burger came medium well WITH onions. We asked for our check when the food came out and we didn’t get the check until we were clearly finished with the food. Again, we love islands, but this location needs a lot of training for staff members to pay attention to details. Update from 9/1/25 Great experience! We sat at the bar and were excited to see a Mai Tai deal ($6) as well as new items on the lunch menu! We decided to try the Mediterranean Bowl - highly highly HIGHLY recommend! Tastes great and you feel great after.
My wife likes this place alot so we come every so often. But first time at this location. We came during the week and it was Happy hour so, they had specials on lunch menu items. I chose the Pulled pork sandwich w/ fries and she had the Hawaiian w/ fries as well. Both were awesome and perfectly cooked. We also shared an appetizer of Chips and Spinach with artichokes dip. All was great. Very reasonably priced and staff was great. Thanks guys. Definitely recommend.
Haven't been to Islands in years and probably won't be back anytime soon. The service was good and everyone was friendly. Ordered the Kilauea Burger with fries. The amount of pepper on the burger overshadowed every other ingredient it was like eating a spoonful of Pepper with every bite. The fries were decent, and their Island seasoning is good. They really need to update the menu nothing on it really stands out and makes you want to come back.
Grace was the waitress for my table and insisted everything we ordered was not on the menu & couldn’t order it. So we got the manager & she took the order no problem. Grace just wanted to be difficult and did not come back to fill drinks, or check on us one time. Very disappointed with this place and will not be returning.
Pretty bad experience tonight. Hadn't been in quite some time, waitresses were absolutely terrible, rude, irritated, and never even wanted to refill a drink. The food tasted disgusting, freezer burned chicken, ranch was watered down, and bowl tasted microwaved. I'd recommend going ANYWHERE else!
We came here with another couple. One of our burgers was served and we found a hair in it immediately. Nothing was comped, we were still charged for all food. Nothing to make up for finding something so off putting in something we’re supposed to trust to eat.
