It's the kind of local restaurant that remembers the importance of treating customers like family. read more

I forgot how good the fries are and how fresh the burgers taste. I love far from burger island now so it's my treat when I'm in the city. The young ladies that took me order was very polite and the lady who made my food deserves a hug n a kiss cuzzzzzz babyyyyyyyyyy this was the best meal we had in a while. Thank you read more

What happened here? The food rating goes way down. Ordered the double burger with guacamole, which was okay, smaller than what they used to be but still good.Its the onion rings...they are not Real, they are the cheap nasty minced up flavored batter onion mix, it's not real onions, and they burnt them so bad they are inedible.. The fried mushroom are just as bad, soggy old with a bad after flavor, just plain nasty. These people went down hill fast after the management changed, these people went and bought the cheapest garbage of processed food. I can no longer enjoy this food that is being served here, no Quality anymore..just cheaper than the cheapest plastic bag, freezer burnt . That's a Big YUCK in my book. I do not recommend eating here anymore and I dought the new owners care at all if they serve garbage or not. Im Done with these type of Owners..they go cheap and charge you extra for (excuse the expression.)." Shit Food". If this is what they are serving then save yourself an enema treatment and Pass this Garbage Can Food by, dont spend your money on bad Food. There are better burger places near by that want to serve you quality with honesty and Pride. This place has lost all of them, Listen to my warning for this is just that..Dont blame me for sending bad news from a once Beloved burger joint, the Truth Hurts. read more

I've been coming to this same Burger Island for years and seems like it fell off a bit a couple years ago but recently the place has a new vibe and the burgers are awesome!! I literally go in about once a week and this is exactly why!! Always very welcoming, polite and for burgers freshly made!! read more

Burger Island - Bacon cheeseburger with mushrooms added. - Burgers Near Me - Garland, Texas

Want a great Burger from a friendly staff? This is where you go. The staff knows you by name after a few visits. Who does that these days? Any request is not a worry if its available, like adding Bleu Cheese crumbles to a Shrimp Salad. The hamburgers have a bit of some type of TLC because they taste wonderful with a Giant variety to choose from. Their prices are great and quantity of food is worth the visit. We've been going every Wednesday for over 3 years, yup it's that good. Try it this week. Cheers read more

I saw this place when I went to the nearby cheesesteak place last week and decided to give it a try for lunch. I arrived about 12:15-12:30 and was surprised to see that I was the only person there. How odd. As I was finishing my meal a couple of other people came but in general one can't help but think this restaurant's days are numbered if they don't have customers at lunch time. I am giving it 4 stars because my burger was substantial and flavorful. I enjoyed it. One of my complaints is that cooks often forget to season the meat. This meat was seasoned well. The BBQ sauce was probably from a jar but it was food nonetheless. Grilled onions were perfect. Fries were ok but could be crispier. I liked the skin on. I had no problem with parking at all. read more

I called in and ordered a bacon burger with jalapeños for my husband to pick up and when he got home with our food there was no bacon which is the whole point of a bacon burger. read more

Burger Island - Burgers Near Me - Garland, Texas

Always a great go to for a freshly cooked burger. I usually place the order for pickup, and when they say 10 minutes, it will be ready at or before then. The jungle burger is a delightful treat with the sautéed mushrooms and jalapeños, but no worries they also make the traditional burger take you back to your last favorite picnic. read more

I definitely recommend this place. Their foods are AWESOME! Jungle burger which I had was so good, the patty was very juicy with so many stuffs in it! Also I love their fried menus they taste amazing! Seems they use good frying oil which makes fried menus taste really good and fresh! I will definitely try other menus as well next time! Thanks guys! read more

Very good burgers! My boyfriend and I came here because we're craving burgers and the food was quick and good!

I'll definitely go back and try some of their other options. I got the Cheese burger on my first visit. Really big patties and fresh toppings. They will make it how ever you like your burger. I happen to like cheddar cheese-no problem. The fries were fresh cut and there were plenty to fill you up. Everything was cooked to order and you can watch them make your order in the open kitchen. I got my order to go but think I'll eat in next time and watch some TV. read more

Sitting in a strip crowded by other shops sits this very clean and well ran burger shop. The 1/2lb Jungle Burger was delicious. Seasoned fries and drink for $11 ish is the norm now days but def worth the 1/2 lb of beef and fresh grilled ingredients. This place is definitely a Friday payday spot for lunch because when you get back to work, you will be ready to go home. read more

Over cooked order in in burnt fryer oil to add an automatic gratuity seals the deal for me I won't be back it's not that good in fact it is terrible read more

Went here with my girlfriend and she enjoyed it a lot. Finished the burger so quick. Overall the place is worth the $$$.

Food is really good. It's a great little hole in the wall. I always get a grilled chicken sandwich I don't know what they put on it to make it so good but it's one of the best chicken sandwiches I ever had. Their fries are also seasoned well and crispy. read more

I've eaten here for years chasing the experience I got the first few times but continued to be disappointed. I love the burgers and soft home-cooked fries, truly, but I can no longer ignore the terrible customer service. It just went downhill and consistently got worse. From throwing it together, missing ingredients and the cashiers - I no longer frequent when there are so many competitors who act like they care if you come back and comparable portions and pricing. read more

We ordered the Jr burgers. Delicious, cooked to order, fries were outstanding. Very Clean, would prefer non Hispanic music.

I've been earing burgers from here since I was young. My mom would always eat here when she was pregnant with me and the workers are so nice. The environment is also very calming and relaxing, I love it here!! read more

Talk about good burgers, they even have amazing nachos! My co-workers and I love ordering from this place and they deliver!

The JUNGLE burger...A real burger for someone with good taste.. oh wow. sooooo freakin delicious. ok, here is the description: Sauteed onions, mushrooms, jalapenos, bell pepper, american and provolone cheese, mayo, mustard, ketchup, hickory sauce, lettuce, tomato, pickles, and bacon. No "hold the onion, hold the lettuce" here. The bacon is thick and crunchy, plently of all the fixin's--no skimping...there will be yummy onions and peppers to enjoy after you have finished your burger...you'll be too full, but you'll still want to grab at least a little piece of mushroom or bacon crumb...it's that good. Oh yeah and did I mention this burger is HUGE? almost fits an entire styrafoam container and the small fry, is not small at all. The fries were pretty good too, tasted like seasoning salt..i love it all. plus you can call ahead and order, but I wouldn't suggest it cuz all the sauce and veggies can easily make the bottom bun soggy. read more

I have heard of Burger Island for years but have never tried any of the locations until recently. I tried this one on a recommendation from a friend of my wife. We had a little trouble finding the place since it had gotten dark and their outside sign was not yet turned on. Since we were looking specifically for this joint it was a minor inconvenience. However, under other circumstances, we would probably just gone somewhere else. My overall impression of the place was that it is a bit divey. That's not a criticism, just an observation. It has obviously been there a while and that speaks to the quality of their product. My wife had the burger with guacamole. She can't remember the name. I had the bacon cheeseburger. We both enjoyed the burgers. One thing I like about a griddle fried burger is the crust. Mine had a good crust. Also plenty of bacon. We ordered the large fries which were pretty good. A bit greasy for my taste but it didn't stop us from eating almost all of them. Spoiler alert -- the large order of fries is humongous. A real diet buster. But, obviously hand cut with skin on. A real plus. Since this place is quite out of the way our visits will be random. But, if I'm in the neighborhood, and hankering for a burger, this place will get the nod. read more

Do you love burgers? Because you can't go wrong with any burgers here. The place is not much to look at but as long as the food is good, I could care less about the decor. We were greeted immediately upon entering the establishment. After our burgers and fries were brought out, a staff member came back by to ask how we were doing and if we needed anything else. Staff was nice and attentive. Now to the food. The fries and curly fries were both perfectly seasoned and were made fresh to order so you can't go wrong with either. You have your typical burger options to order such as a cheeseburger or mushroom burger but if you want to be adventurous and not afraid to get a little messy, than order the Jungle Burger. (see pic) It's a 1/2 lb. burger with sauteed onions, mushrooms, jalapenos, bell peppers, American and provolone cheese, mayo, ketchup, hickory sauce, mustard, lettuce, tomato, bacon and pickles. Now that was a mouthful...no pun intended. All of that for under $7. Good luck finishing all of that tastiness. This is a good burger joint if you're in the area and want something cheap but good to eat. read more

Burger Island - Jungle burger. NOTE: be prepared to use LOTS of napkins. - Burgers Near Me - Garland, Texas

Don't use their online ordering. I ordered one hour before arriving. They said the "didn't get" the order. Then they "found" it. If the burgers are any good I might give them another shot, if not, no more chances read more

Burger Island - Messy restaurant. - Burgers Near Me - Garland, Texas

This place is one of the most reliable great burgers in this part of town. Fresh burgers, great fillings, clean seating, every time! Lots of call in traffic, and I always eat in. Folks at the counter pay attention, it's just a really good place to get a fast comfortable meal. Just FYI, the parking stinks, but that's this whole shopping strip, so that's life. read more

So first off I love this place food was great and staff were nice I had a mushroom burger and couldn't have been happier with the business how ever my experience was a slight let down not because of the staff but the clientele specifically one unpleasant woman named as Chirley S. here on Yelp I couldn't believe how this woman berated staff no matter how many times they tried to make a honest mistake right. She repeatedly demanded extra free things which the guy behind the counter gave her,she waited 15 "extra" minutes while he remade her order of which the whole time she huffed,whined and kept treating him like crap. She left a trail of paper mess behind her and I was so glad to see her pink outfit walk out the door because after that things were back to being great. read more

Taste of the food always fresh and burgers are good. Why I put 4 stars because maybe older gentlemen at the register can be a little bit more nicer and at least say: "Welcome In" or "Hello , How are you today?" Just for example. But overall a great place. read more

Food is great but the cashier/ the person who answers the phone act like they never answered the phone in their life.... like i have never had someone take my order like that over the phone lol I literally laughed. Seems like y'all just hire somebody and don't go through any training read more

Asked if they wore masks over the phone. Said yes. When I arrive, the cook is maskless. He needs "to smell the food." It's a burger joint. And I can smell the food through my mask. Is it too much to ask to know whether businesses require masks for the person handling your food and everyone else? It's fine if you don't require a mask. Your choice as a business. I just don't want to frequent your place. Too bad because the food is good. read more

Arrived at 8:35 waited 10 minutes to be acknowledged only to be told at 8:48 we close at 8:30 although the sign states 9:00pm, maybe because I'm African-American I'm not sure but I most definitely will not comeback. read more

Burger Island - a man standing in front of a window - Burgers Near Me - Garland, Texas

Worse burger island out of the the ones I've been to. Portions are smaller and price is higher. Definitely worth the drive to go to the better franchises stores. Don't waste your money here read more

Same exact review I gave for the Town East Location. Everything still applies, even the distance and delivery refusal! "Fantastic Burgers - Delicious Texas Toothpicks! Overall, great food. Weird soggy fries though. Oh! And I lived 3.25 miles away and they refused to deliver...Their distance was 3 miles. C'mon! I told them "I'll tip the driver extra, Promise!" Nope. Phone lines are always busy, they put you on hold for SO LONG and then the food takes forever too. I'm from CA and lived in Garland for 2 years and was surprised when I realized you can't get a burger unless it's in a sit down restaurant until I found Burger Island .. So I dealt with all the above." read more

Put this one in your burger rotation... Burger Island doesn't look like much. It's just a strip-mall joint where you order at the counter and get your own drinks. Then there's the oddity of the giant, empty fish tank and the half-assed beach murals on the walls. And it's hard to miss the twin TVs that are constantly blaring. But if you can fight through all that, you will be rewarded... What they serve here are full-on burgers. They are not delicate gourmet burgers for pansies. The half-pound patties are griddled up just right, not burnt to a crisp. Toppings are fresh, gooey, and oh-so good. Today I went in for the jalapeno cheeseburger and had the pleasure of dining with Cosby Show reruns on channel 27. My colon will surely hate me later, but this thing was piled high with peppers, and I scarfed every bite. When I was done, I'm sure I looked like a 6 year old that had spent more time playing with food rather than eating it. Lots of burger juices were in play. And then there were fries. You will not find a place more generous with their fries, and I am dead serious. The "small" order is about right for two people. And they are delicious - skin-on, nicely seasoned, and fried till they're vaguely crispy. So there you have it. Burger Island is an oasis for burger lovers in Garland... (rim shot) read more

Yum burger! Good fries! Even better quantity. I love this place because you get alittle more bang for your buck. Large fry is hugeeee take out box btw. Love that! read more

You have to pay extra for the hamburger bun to be toasted aNd it's hit or miss getting hot French fries.

One of the biggest burgers I have ever had. I got the Jungle Burger: sautéed onions, mushrooms, bell peppers, pickles, jalapenos, mustard, ketchup, mayo, hickory sauce, American cheese, provolone cheese, and a heart attack. I never believed in burger hangovers until the morning after eating this. Well worth it though. If you enjoy the satisfying feeling of your arteries clogging with every bite, this is definitely the place. The fries are seasoned like Wingstop (sugar), too! read more

This place really let me down... Was a big fan of Burger Island until my last two times, definitely a direction change that will lead me to give up the try... I'm sorry guys but y'all are sinking the place! read more
