To be honest, I wasn't sure about this place when I pulled into the parking lot. It sits in a strip of shops next to a gas station. They say looks are deceiving and that couldn't be more true. From the outside it makes you wonder about city food inspection scores, but on the inside it's a different impression. The service was friendly and quick. You have a place to sit while you wait. I would not recommend it for a large group. The food is fresh and made to order. You can't beat the price at $11.08 for a full meal with a drink. Give Burger House a try! read more

DO NOT GO TO BURGER ISLAND Fair notice to others with service dogs... Entered the restaurant... 2 adults and a service dog . There were 2 tables with guests. one on each end of the store. As we approached to order the woman behind the counter, started exclaiming No! No! No dogs! Explained, this is a service dog. She continued to shake her head exclaiming No No. Must be certified. Presented the service dog certification certificate for the dog to her, she said, No! No Dog! We stated we were going to order to go, she still refused to serve us. stating there were guests in the restaurant, Again asked her, so you are refusing service to us , even for carry out, because we have a service dog. She said yes. Fair notice to others with service dogs... DO NOT GO TO BURGER ISLAND Unbelievable ! I thought we had laws about this.... Is BURGER ISLAND above the LAW??? read more

Burger was hard and not hot. They didn't even offer to remake. Service... not so good. Spent over 40 dollars. Not worth it at least not this location. read more

Food... it's good, but has gotten REALLY pricy. I got a turkey burger which is one of the better ones I've had. $10.34 with $4.00 small tots and no drink. I asked for a cup of water that was poured from a pitcher with out any ice. Tasted like tap faucet. Service... the young lady working the register could really step it up in the customer service department. It's as if she really doesn't want to be there. I enjoy a side of mayo with my tots. When I asked for some, I was quickly told that they do not offer this. Something to do with a health risk... what???? Ever heard of mayo packets?? This establishment used to be a byob. I brought a couple of beers and was surprised when the young no personality lady said, "you can't bring in food or beverages from the outside." I replied, " Since when." She said that there was a sign on the door and asked me to get rid of it. The owner heard everything going on and recognized me as a repeat customer of several times. She said that we could finish, but there was a problem one evening with some very rowdy customers that led to this new decision. Understand.... Ambiance... it's clean. But, there was some really weird piano music playing that seemed associated with a children's video that was playing on the tv. A friend of mine, who happens to be a professional piano player, joined us later and made the comment, " that music is so creepy!" Agreed! Overall take off this, when you have extra money, get the food to go so you can take it home and eat and drink as you wish. At least I have mayo there! read more

Delicious burgers, exceptional chicken sandwiches, and my wife says their Philly is one of the best cheesesteaks she's ever had. Not the most affordable burger joint, but you get what you pay for. Their sandwiches are loaded, and they're fantastic. Will be coming here regularly. read more

When I ordered here they have 2 different sizes of meat which I didn't realize until I paid. The owner didn't ask me what size I wanted and she picked the size which ended up being the larger size. The courtesy and professional thing to do is to ask the customer what size of hamburger I wanted. Don't bother in calling they never answer. read more

Food was good, and the cashier was so kind ! It does feel retro with the vintage seats.

Been coming here for the past 6 years, and the service has always been great. The food has been up to standard and amazing. My family have nothing but great things to say whenever we dine here. read more

My son was intrigued by the name and asked if we could go for lunch. Glad we listened! The kids got grilled cheese and fries, which they loved. I got the veggie burger, which is honestly one of the best veggie burgers I've had in a while. Not dry, didn't fall apart, and had actual veggies inside. My husband got the double jungle (the sweet lady behind the counter warned him it was HUGE - she was right. It was a man vs food situation, but he said it was delicious.) The place is super clean, has adorable retro booths, and super cute decor, that transports you to a calming little retro island. You can tell this place was built with love. The kids topped it off with blue bell ice cream. Can't wait to come back. read more

I first have to preface this review with the fact that I hardly ever order a burger anywhere. I am almost always disappointed because I feel like I can make a better burger at home. Enter Burger Island. I don't know what it is about this place but they have some killer burgers! I get the Island Burger and it is great. The meat is quality, the toppings are fresh. The Big Island is a huge 1/2 pound burger, but the smaller one is 1/4 pound and perfect for me. Last time we ordered, my friend got extra bacon and avocado and there was SO much bacon on it! My friend also enjoys their Philly Cheesesteak sandwich. I also like their seasoned fries and tater tots, but if you get them to go, I suggest throwing them in an air fryer or the oven for a few minutes when you get back to crisp them up a little bit. read more

I was in the area and was hungry, There was a major chain burger place nearby but I thought I'd try an independent and I am glad I did. Burger was good, fries were fresh cut fresh made and the combo price was less than I was expecting. I would definitely come here more often if I lived in the area. read more

My go to spot ! A lowkey joint that has a reputation for having big burgers and some good appetizers . I always get the double deluxe with a side of fries. My stomach is always full and happy once I'm done with this burger. A lot of times I'm not able to finish this burger in one setting and will have to leave it for left overs. I tried the sweet potato fries once and they were very good. I also hear the sandwiches and subs are very good too. Great spot for good eats! read more

Not as great as I remembered. The burger was still tasty but not like before. The Texas toothpicks used to be a favorite of mine but these were greasy and all onion. Do NOT get the nachos. They are horrible. It's basically a burger chopped up and spread over tortilla chips. read more

Wow, so happy we finally stopped in for lunch at this burger joint. The inside is super groovy. I love the vive and feel of this place. Surprised that they actually have a vegetarian burger option. Not only that but it was the best tasting so far I've had. My husband got a regular burger with mushrooms and jalapeños. He was very happy with his big burger. The meals came with a lot of fries, neither one of us could finish the meal. Also need to add that the staff here was above and beyond friendly. I wish more places were as happy at there jobs like this place. The only negative thing I would say about this place is the ceiling was dusty. :( read more

Went in to place a To go order . I wanted a To go jungle burger with the buns on the side because I don't want the burger all soggy and disgusting by the time I get home . They told me they will not put the buns on the side .. read more

This place has the absolute best burgers. I've been here several times to dine in. I have also carried out. Each time has been a pleasant experience. They are very timely. The normal fries are great. I just tried the chili fries for the first time. Reference the picture. They were very good but a little greasy. This place is law enforcement friendly and Garland officers are here often. The lunch specials are pretty good considering it's fresh burgers. The burger burger in my pic is a pound of meat between two patties and it's still under 7.00. Give them a shot you won't regret it! read more

This is my second time eating here and second time getting the lunch special mushroom burger (no onions). It is AMAZING!! The mushrooms are cooked perfectly and the burger is seasoned perfectly. I'll definitely be back. I'm not a fan of the fries which is why I knocked a star. read more

Excellent burger, fries and salad. The lunch special is really worth it, one heck of a deal. The seasoning on the fries was amazingly good. The service was great as well. I will definitely come back when I am in this area. I have eaten at several Burger Island locations. This is the first I would give 5 stars. read more

If you're like me, and your life quest is to try all the delicious burgers the world has to offer, then put Burger Island on your list. They have tons of burger options, sandwiches, and even several flavors of Blue Bell ice cream. The burgers and fries here taste like you're in a 1950s diner from Happy Days, and not just because of the cool vintage booths, tables, and decor. This is what a local burger joint should be like: perfect juicy-crisp burgers, seasoned fries cooked in peanut oil, family owned, and inexpensive. Throw in the arcade games and lunch specials, and you've got a winner. Just trust me and eat here. read more

Delicious burgers (made to order), perfectly cooked and seasoned fries, good prices and good portions. Been going there for years and will certainly return. read more

My go to spot every Thursday! The burgers are amazing and the sides are just as great! They aren't stingy with the toppings or Fries for that matter! I look forward to my quarter jalapeño cheese burger with a side of onions rings every week! read more

Tea is very weak. I should not be able to see through it. It was like drinking tinted water.

This is by far my favorite place to eat burgers. The pricing is great, especially for the amount of food you get. Fries are amazing! I love coming here and being greeted by such a nice staff. The owner is super sweet too. They definitely care about their customers. I always get the avocado cheeseburger meal and end being extremely full. They also serve ice cream if you even have room for desert. I promise this place will not let you down because it never has for me. read more

The cashier was SO sweet! I ordered about 80$ worth of food and everything was accurate. They had so much to choose from, there was something for everyone. Also the proportions are outstanding for the price. I would leave more than 5 stars if possible. read more

So, my knee jerk reaction as I'm sitting in my car waiting on my burgers for a second time as the first call in order was lost.... mind you, I called from the parking lot....ehhh semantics. If these cheese burgers don't melt in my mouth like a freshly made snow cone ON a real island.... I'm not gonna be much of a fan.... jury's out...Will let ya know... read more

Pretty good mid-priced burger joint, reminds me a bit of Purdys before they went to hell and then disappeared. More expensive than Mickey D's, and a less less expensive than Twisted Root. This location has a vaguely 1950's theme to it. Order at the counter, take a number and the bring it to your table. Service was friendly and prompt. They have many versions of the standard burger dressed various ways. I went with my all time favorite, bacon and cheese. Three words people, fresh cooked bacon!!! I've had bacon cheeseburgers at just about everyplace that has them, and I can't remember the last time I had bacon right off the griddle. It was wonderfully crisp and crunchy with bacon grease still clinging to it. Portions are huge, I was famished and still couldn't finish my meal. read more

These burgers are delicious. Do not wonder off the burger menu, you will be disappointed. If you love a huge sloppy burger with everything on it, get the Jungle Burger or Double Jungle. Also, the fries are thin, crispy, and well seasoned. I like this location better than the one in Richardson. The dining area here is bright, and not depressing. P.s. Always check your receipt - I've had a few errors when ordering. read more

My kiddos and I came to eat burgers after school. My daughter had the chicken strip plate and my son had the bacon burger with jalapeños. They were both tasty. I ordered a kids cheeseburger and it came with fries and a drink. The burgers and fries came out hot but my bottom bun was hard as a rock. It was left in the heater to long. I asked if they can bring me a bun and I would transfer my burger but to not take it to the back and I have trust issues. I asked for a refund for my one burger very nicely cause again.... trust issues!! I would of been happy to get the money back and wait for my kiddos to finish their meals. Instead, The cashier was nice and said ok let me show the cook. The cook which turns out to be the manager apologized and said he will make me a new one right away with a smile on his face. He was nice to come out of the kitchen and offered to make it. I felt more Comfortable when he came to asked me to let him remake it. :) He got it out in a jiffy! The staff is nice and polite and the place is clean. I must say the ceiling can use a good dusting but other than that, everything else has been kept clean. I will return as the burgers are tasty!! read more

Biggest, Bestest, Awesomest Burgers around. The jalapeño burger is my favorite. Sometimes it's soo spicy I have to take some peppers off. I've tried just about everything here. The fried pickles are very good. This place has some of the best ranch to dip your fries in. This location is one of the cleanest ones. You can tell they care about appearance unlike other locations (town east mesquite). read more
