I discovered my first burger island over 20 years ago. That first hamburger at the Arapaho location was mind blowing. Over the years I watched them expand around Dallas and have eaten at most of the Burger Island locations. It hasn't been a perfect record for them. There have been ups and downs with food consistency,closed locations etc. However,it's still one of the best burgers you can snag in DFW without a 2 nd mortgage. Seems the once simple and enjoyable American favorite has become an over dressed and hyped $30 meal. Not here. You can leave Burger Island for $15 having a full meal combo. Plus,the people at this location are especially nice! Go! read more

Dirty and cramped. Tables hadn't been wiped down. Buzzing flies were abundant. If I hadn't been meeting people here, I would have turned around and left. I ordered the fries, which were alright. My companions liked their burgers. It was okay, but I wouldn't return. read more

Been here twice and both times been disappointed! Overpriced and underwhelming! Grilled chicken was tough and rubbery! Fries were overcooked. Lady at the counter was kinda rude in her responses! I'll skip and go elsewhere read more

Friends said I would like this place. They were wrong. Burger was OK but it was nothing memorable. The biggest issue was the general cleanliness ( or lack of) the place. The floor was sticky, I managed to find the cleanest table but still had to wipe it off. It was a less than pleasant experience. Food a 3...cleanliness a 1. read more

All 3 burgers were amazing!!! The ladies cooking did a wonderful job and so friendly! Definitely recommend! Sorry, didn't get picture but we had the Cajun fries, Hawaiian cheese, big burger and jungle burger. read more

Burger island is hands down my favorite burger joint in DFW!! The burgers are made with real Pattie's not the frozen ones. The patties are juicy and never dry. The seasoned fries are the literal best!! & the customer service is unmatched. The restaurant was clean and presentable. I hadn't been to Burger Island in years but the cashier still recognized me, it made me feel good. If you ever want a great burger and great service this is the place for you!!! SN: they switched the buns but they still offer the old ones I got the new bun and wasn't a fan but it's my fault because I could've chosen the old one. read more

This has been on my list for a while because my roommate has been suggesting it. We came here on a Saturday evening for quick dinner. I wasn't really feeling much to eat, so as usual, I went with my basic no cheese hamburger. To my surprise, it was really good. Also very big. The hamburger was pretty cheap, however if you add in a a drink and fries, it can easily be average cost of a burger you get at some casual dine in restaurant. Burger was okay. Ambiance was okay. Area where it was located, not the greatest. I give them a 3 star because they were quick with the food. It's a pretty chilled place to go get a quick bite. Pretty much on the fast food/ quick grab & go end. read more

This place is right up the street from me. You cannot go wrong getting food here. Everything they have is pretty amazing. The buns are soft and fresh, the burgers are huge, and it's a great value. An extra bonus is the people that run it are super sweet. Excellent Covid precautions. You can tell they take a lot of pride in what they do. Support local businesses!! read more

Sooo, I was going to rate this place much higher, but they messed up today! I've been here twice, and I've been satisfied with my food both times. What screwed them today is THIS.... THEY BROUGHT A CUTE LITTLE POODLE INSIDE THE DOGGONE PLACE, TOOK IT IN THE KITCHEN AREA, TOUCHED ALL ON IT AND MADE AN ORDER!! Baby, they must NOT know very many Black people, because they would have KNOWN this was a NO-NO! They should've waited until I was GONE GONE! I'll NEVER RETURN! EVER! I love dogs, but I don't own one and wouldn't want it in my house- let alone my kitchen. Sorry NOT sorry!‍ read more

So good. I always get the big kahuna burger and it never disappoints. Burgers are huge too. If you don't have an appetite like a corn fed country boy, you can probably split a burger. read more

I love this place. The burgers and fries are the best. I've had in DFW. Philly steak and Chicken club sandwich are really good. In other words, I have not tried anything on the menu that was not excellent. The service has always been outstanding, friendly and smile filled. read more

This is our favorite place for burgers and chili cheese fries. Burger is big enough to share for a late lunch. The chili on the fries actually has meat not just sauce. Cheese is shredded not sauce. Cook top is visible and they keep it clean. Nice people running the place. Love it. read more

Solid burger and their hand punched fries were some of the best I've had!! Quick and made to order, service was excellent too!! Don't drive by without stopping!! read more

I pass this place almost everyday on the drive to work but never stop by until now. Boy, I miss out! This place actually opens at 10:30 instead of the listed 11:30 from yelp. It's family owned by an Asian family. Dad's the cook. Mom run the place. Daughter is waitress. Kinda surprising to see an Asian owned burger join. Place looks clean enough. Chairs are old and torn, the back of the booth about to fall over. But enough of that, let's get to the food! I ordered the jungle burger, heard it was their special, with sweet potato fries (which is $1 extra). If you like everything on your burger, this is it! Juicy, tangy, and spicy! Good fries. I didn't get that old oily taste with some fast food. Maybe because I came in when they just open? Lunch crowd start pouring in, which is a good sign right?? I felt the burger had too much sauce in it. Was dripping on every bite but the bread still stay dry. My combo meal was $12! A bit much for a diner burger. Next time I'll just grab only the burger. I can barely finish everything on the plate with the combo. read more

This joint is the proverbial hole in the wall, and thankfully fulfills the expectations on the quality front. We ordered the island burger, the hickory, the jalapeño cheeseburger, and the Hawaiian, as well as a plain cheeseburger for the boy. These things are huge, and everyone was driven by the flavor to overeat, leaving no need for take home boxes. Portions of fries and tots are also generous, and taste great. The staff are warm, friendly, and quite accommodating. They really want to earn your business. We almost went to another place down the road, but if we are back here for soccer near mealtime again, I will definitely be dropping in. read more

Fantastic burgers - you rarely get a burger this massive anywhere. But the place is absolutely filthy - I'm not talking "okay they could do a better job mopping the floors", more like "what the hell did I just sit in and why is the chair so sticky". I'd give 4 stars if it was cleaner. read more

Stopped by on a whim to try this since I had not had it in a long time. I was pleasantly surprised with what I found. The people were extremely friendly. Ordered a burger fries and a BLT. The burger was gigantic the meat was good but needed some more seasoning.The bread was very fresh and all of the toppings were very good. They had good fries and it was a larger order as well. Got one order of fries and it was enough for two people. Wife liked the BLT it was on Texas toast and she said the tomato tasted very fresh. All in all it was a good experience will definitely try again. read more

This Burger Island is pretty much like the other BI's around town, however this location is closer to me. I with that said I was wanted to try out their Bacon Cheeseburger and they made it pretty good. They didn't ask me how I wanted the meat cooked, but it came out okay. I think when most places cook bacon they use like one of those spatula thingamajigers that hold down the bacon flat while it cooks, but my bacon was all kinds of curled up so bacon distribution on my burger was off. From previous visits to their other locations, I should have known that I would have been full to the max with a burger and drink, but noooooo, I had to order the Texas Toothpics too. They're strips of jalapenos and onions batter dipped and fried. Dip'em in ranch and it's golden! I was sad that I couldn't finish the whole order in one sitting with the rest of my food. This location has been various restaurants many times over and over with failures before Burger Island came in. I hope BI has much better luck than previous occupants. If you're bored on a Saturday afternoon you might catch some TV en espanol! read more

These burgers are awesome! They're so good, and don't break the bank. We love ordering from them when we're too lazy to cook. The onion rings are the only side item I've had, and they're delicious. Definitely recommend Burger Island! Staff is nice too! read more

Burger was not bad but my order was done incorrectly and when I made them aware I was treated like it was my fault even though I repeated my order back to the girl at the register three times. I would rather eat somewhere where my business is appreciated. Side note the bacon was burnt and did not taste well. All the tables were dirty we had to clean it ourselves cleanliness is not something they value here!!! read more

Pretty nice burger joint around the area. I've been here once, but had to come again to get some pics and write a review. This location is right around the corner to RCC so it must be convenient for the people going to school. I tried the Jungle Burger and their Cod (Fish) Burger. The Jungle Burger was enormous! Imagine an average sized burger stacked x3, and add jalapeños and bacon- there you'll have a Jungle Burger deliciousness. It was pretty spicy but was very good. I got a side of fries and those babies were fresh!! I also got a cod sandwich for my grandma and that was pretty good as well. Imagine the fish sandwich you could get at McDonald's, but juicier and bigger in portion. Definitely recommended to try out. read more

Stopped in here for a quick to go order on the advice of the training center staff where I was doing a class. I got there about 1230 and the place was pretty full on a Wednesday lunch hour. As soon as I ordered and was paying- I saw the cook pull out a patty of fresh beef (not frozen) and put it on the flat top. Good things in store!! About 10 min later my order was in my side seat on the way back to class. The cook was nice enough to ask me if I wanted it sliced in half for easier eating- to which I had said yes- good decision as it required reptilian jaw unhinging to fit in my mouth! I got the jungle burger which came with four different condiment sauces, bacon, cheese, and all the veg. It seemed like it would be overwhelming but fellow yelpers had blessed it as awesome. I was totally not disappointed- from the freshness of the toasty bun, perfectly cooked meat, and awesome concert of the sauces. Can't wait to go back when I go for recertification training! read more

Burger Island - Absolutely the best burgers around! This particular location has been the best of all the Burger Islands I have been too! - Burgers Near Me - Dallas, Texas

I've lived in Dallas all my life and decided to try out this place for the first time with my friends. Food: I ordered their mushroom swiss burger and it was enormous and savory!! I also had fried mushrooms on the side (what can i say, i love mushrooms) and they were delicious! (Tip: wait a while to let the mushrooms cool down bc one bite into them right away and they'll burn your tongue like hell) Service: When you first walk in, the guy that works in the front is very friendly, kind, and sociable. I like a server who can make small talk with a customer, rather than standing there staring at me quietly while i look at their menu. Overall, definitely recommend this small burger joint. I WILL BE COMING BACK FOR SURE!! read more

2.7 stars: Went for lunch today since I worked out before work and felt I deserved some saturated fat in my diet. I will say that I think this place turns out good burgers most of the time but here's my story. I walk in at 1:15 PM and place is just about empty with one 4 top leaving and 1 guy in a booth just starting his lunch. I order the Big Island burger combo meal, pay for it and watch the cook drop a large roundish mound of ground beef somewhat resembling a patty onto the steel griddle and I'm thinking "nice". I see that their burgers are 1/2 pounders and I believe it. I can't wait to eat this bad boy. I wander around deciding whether to sit in booth or a table. The place is somewhat shabby and not in a chic way. Greasy spoon kind of shabby. Probably not 3 minutes later my order is ready and I'm surprised it's ready so quick. I've cooked burgers before and I've neer cooked and dressed one that fast. I ordereed mine with mustard instead of mayo and no onions (work day) and that's how they made it. The bun managed to dwarf the patty and I noticed it was quite well done but not totally dry. I also noticed it had a crust on one side. I like a little crust on a burger or steak since it provides a good bit of flavor but this crust was more substantial than that. I'm not going to claim the patty was burnt but the crust definitely had some crunch in my mouth.. I'm going to venture I'm 80%-90% sure that I got a patty that had already been (over)cooked and then got reheated for me. A customer who ordered after me waited about 8 minutes to get his burger and I watched the cook from where I sat and know his was cooked to order all the way. There is almost no way I could get as well done a burger as I did in 3 minutes. Major ding. Wasn't worth my while to take this up with management, but that's my story. read more

You know how how someone asks you what you had for lunch yesterday and it takes a while to remember? Well, I never remember when its been Burger Island. Yeah... the burger is the size of my face....I get it. This is one of those quanity over quality things. Just because a burger is huge doesn't mean it should be flavorless. I only order BI when someone in the office offers to go pick it up, so I don't have to leave the comfort of my desk. Well, someone offered again this week.... so I ordered a hickory burger with bacon added. Tell me please, how can a burger, drenched in hickory sauce, be dry? I don't know either.... if you want the answer, go ask Burger Island. *yawn* read more

after watching man vs. food it was a episode full of burgers and beef...I decided to try the richardson/dallas location of Burger Island which was 3 min away from my apt. this first time visit was wonderful~ we arrived around 12pm on a sunday the place had 5 tables of people and 2 behind us waiting to order......the 3 workers quickly comes to our help took our orders Kathy ordered a 1lb regular I had the 1lb double jungle which was topped with mushrooms, bacon, green pepper, jalepanos, onions, 2 types of cheese and two 1/2lb 100% angus paddies ...YUM!!! the thing was bigger than my fist/open palm and it smells delish!!! I cut it open and the beef was still juicy and hot.....the cheese was melted onto the meat and the bun each bite was a flavorful burst into a beefy yumminess the jalepano and the mushroom after taste was great leaving you a kick in the MOUTH so you'll want to order some season fries or a soda with your order ....if you decide to order the big boy like the ones we have here there's 1/3 1/2lb burger meals that comes with fries and drinks but I wanted to see if I could finish the whole 1lb-er in one sitting after watching Adam on Man vs. Food hahaha~ and indeed I finished the whole thing in less than 50min =P but couldn't finish the fries... the service was good, place was decent clean.....bathroom could use some update and cleaning tho'......TV could be bigger but the experience and the food was awesome!!! would definitely go back here again!!! 2 ...1lb burgers, small seasoned fries, 1 large soda ....total was about $17 I rate this place 4.5 stars~ read more
