Food: So I ordered the Nachos for a starter and they were a really good sized portion and really delicious and you dont find good nachos and lost places but these were by far my favorite. As my main dish I ordered the Hawaiian burger. Really good, pineapple was bomb, and the burger patty itself was good. Would definitely order this again Service: So Im tough when it comes to grading the wait staff so when I tell you that I gave this place a 5 star based on the service I received should say A LOT. First off we went in really late with a party of 20 and were seated right away. Not only that but the entire time we were there we did not have to wait for anything. Refills came quick and any menu questions we had were answered. If management is reading this, please thank your waiting staff. Ambiance: overall the place was ok, nothing special stood out. Definitely casual but from a burger oriented place what else do you expect. Overall: Great experience, will definitely be coming back.

Just My Opinion
I personally love burgers. So to say that Islands was a disappointment is hard to type but they make really dry burgers. I ordered my burger medium rare and got a medium well done patty. No pink. I asked if they make medium rare and the waitress said no they only do medium. Ok, so why wasnt I told that when I ordered my burger med rare? I wouldnt have ordered a burger, which is disappointing because its a burger place. Plus my burger was med well with no pink and not medium with pink throughout like she claimed. She did offer to have them remake it but to make another dry burger was a no go for me, so had to order the good old trusty dont know the restaurant food order chicken strips route. So to say the least Islands was a total let down. I did give it 3 stars for the fries and the chicken strips. The tuna is good too on egg bread. Staff was ok. Nice but not too informative upfront, at least not my waitress.

My sister and I stopped by last night and this afternoon. Food was excellent; our fries were deliciously crispy and the burgers were great. I would definitely recommend eating here if you love burgers; they have a good variety of toppings and options available. Last night was a tad busy so there was a short wait, nothing too long (5-10 min) and our host/greeter was a lovely young lady. Our server(Nicole/Nikki?) was also great, she was very sociable and attentive. This afternoon we had a different host and server. Host/greeter was nice and bubbly. This afternoon we had another female server(Morgan/Megan?) who wasnt great at all. Hence the 3 stars. She rarely visited our table and when she did she was snippy and impatient. Not a fan. That being said, we loved the atmosphere and everything else about the place. Looking forward to going again, but next time we hope to sit with someone else.

Went here for a quick and easy meal... it sure was quick! Ive gone here numerous times before, loved the food, atmosphere, and service, but todays experience made me never want to go back. I shared a salad and a burger with my mother, like the usual. The salad was lightly dressed so we asked for more dressing. Halfway through tossing the salad, my mother made a discovery. There was a dead bug about the size of a thumbnail laying in our salad. We asked our lovely waitress for the manager. The manager came out and handed us a $25 gift card, apologized, said he had taken off our entire meal, and left. Still love their food, just thrown off by the incident we had.

Just to get it out of the way, yes, this place is expensive for the type of food that they serve (mainly burgers and fries). Although thats true I always enjoy every meal I eat here. Their Pipeline burger with chili is great and fills me up and their cheddar cheese fries area great guilty pleasure. I wouldnt order mix drinks here as they tend to be on the really weak side made with cheap mixers. While I dont frequent the place I do really enjoy the occasional meal here.

The service at this location was excellent. We stopped in for a late lunch on Sunday with my family (among them my toddler and grandmother in a wheelchair). They were great at accommodating our special seating arrangement and kept our glasses full. I was accidentally served the wrong dish and they made it right as quickly as they could and my burger was fantastic. Everything I remember Islands to be. I love the side dish options for the kids meals as well. Thank you!

Ive always seen signs for this restaurant but never had a chance to try it until my friends suggested it. And they were right about me missing some good food! Our service was fast I tried the hawaiian burger with white bread and a Firestone Walker 805 The burger has the standard toppings accompanied by pineapple and teriyaki sauce. I highly recommend it

Was very cold in there. I think the menu is way over priced. Had tacos with beans , beans were watery and nasty. 10.99 for two small tacos and a tiny cup of watery beans is to much. Had a pina colada tasted like something from home. Service was good thats the only reason I didnt give less then 3 stars. First time here probly wont go back.

Everyone was extremely nice, always checking up on us and making sure we had everything we needed. Ive come here multiple times and have never received less than amazing service. I would recommend to anyone looking for a tasty burger or even some teriyaki chicken tacos! Super great food! I cannot wait to come here again.

I wanted to like it lot--everything sounded so good on the menu, but my specialty hot dog was just okay. The blue cheese wasnt very noticeable, leaving me disappointed. The fries were a bit too soggy. Two hot dogs and two orders of fries came to about $25, which seemed kind of steep.

Food is consistent, service is normally pretty good, fair prices. Cool videos on TVs Kristina needs to slow her roll a bit and listen to the customer. We realize your busy, but act like you understand and take a few moments to be personable, may increase the tips a bit.

Life is not perfect, but Islands Corona does a great job. Staff is polite and approachable. They allows have a smile and do not rush you, even when the are busy. Small menu, prepared and served hot. Love the atmosphere, lots of TVs for choices of the big and little games.

I went here once for a graduation meal. The food is great! The sweet potato fries werent a disappointment and the employees were friendly. The bathrooms were kept in good condition as well (to me, how well a bathroom is kept clean makes a big impression on a restaurant!)

The food was actually very good. My burger was cooked just as I requested (medium), and the fries were not too crispy, soggy or oversalted. The food also came very quickly and the wait staff was very friendly and attentive with drinks and checked on us often.

We like coming here. Custimer service is always good and 98% of the time our orders are correct. The only "negative" we had experience three different times is the lettuce they used for garden salad (they are not fresh most of them look old)
