Finding this restaurant was a bit of luck as we are seldom in this area, but had a doctor's appointment coming up after lunch and were hoping to find something fast, casual and original. This bright restaurant certainly fit that description! We were impressed by the Hawaiian feel and decor right from the start. We were welcomed so warmly by the young manager and his staff. He explained the menu and some of the options and also that Thursday was a discount day if you ordered a dish that featured chicken as the main protein, because it was Thursday. My partner chose a chicken bowl on a bed of coconut rice (12.99) and I chose the combination chicken breast and shredded luau pork plate (17.99) also with coconut rice, and a delightful mix of sautéed broccoli florets, diced zucchini, onion, and finally shredded carrots. There were four accompanying sauces to sample. I liked a combination of the spicy teriyaki with the pineapple teriyaki. The Sriracha was too hot for me because I'm a wimp when it comes to hot things, and I just didn't love their peanut sauce very much. I think the recipe could be reworked. But I liked that they offered peanut sauce as an option! They also served us a tasty Hawaiian style macaroni salad made with cavatappi pasta. Portions were large, and I love their presentation for dining in, especially the angled bowls. Even their take-home was in high-quality reusable plastic containers , showing the care they gave for even the smaller details. Dessert options include an individual pineapple upside down cake (4.99) and choice of large size chocolate chunk or salted caramel cookies (2.99). There was a serve yourself drink station. Because my partner had the chicken protein he was gifted a free drink. They have locations also in Simi Valley and in Ventura city. The Palmdale location has been opened already for 17 years! We plan to come back here again for certain the next time we're in Palmdale. Plenty of free parking as it's part of a large shopping area, but easily seen from the street. So in short, this was a great find! read more

I actually looked on Yelp to find out the daily special since I'm a regular here, and noticed the photos were so outdated and reviews were meh... which was confusing. I've come here for years, and the food is always great!! A few of my faves, the macaroni salad, pulled pork sandwich, chicken bowl with coconut rice or noodles, Caesar salad... my husband has had a few of the seafood dishes and he's never been disappointed either. The service is always excellent, everybody is nice, so welcoming right away, and the food is always incredibly fast. I mean, I'm able to come here on a 30 minute break, get my food and eat, and still have half of my break left. The outdoor patio, and inside seating is comfortable, clean, and well kept. One of my favorite places to go! read more

Food: The food was unacceptable. I am unsure how you char shrimp and still serve it. Went in for my regular order of shrimp Caesar salad and opened it out the house and was very disappointed. Service: Not welcoming, super short and to the point. read more

The food is super good here, best caesar salad. But the male that works here with long hair and wears a bandana on his head is a straight up dick head. Rude to customers and his fellow female employees, i heard him argueing with them and told one of them to shut up. Its taking everything in me to not say something to him but i bet if i did, who knows what he would do. Unprofessional asshole. read more

Fire Island Grill - The driver needs to chill - Hawaiian Near Me - Palmdale, California

I have been a loyal customer to this establishment since opening and this is the last time i will be coming here. I always get the spicy bbq ranch salad. This time i went to pick up & take home. I opened my salad and i barely noticed theres so many spoiled pieces and all the wedge salad pieces are brown. I can understand like maybe 3 or 4 just pick them out but this is like half of the salad. I just spent $30 on salads that are bad! The employees who are packaging the salad I'm sure could have seen this and they did nothing about it. read more

We've been coming here for years... basically since they opened. The food was always spot on - super fresh and good portions. Over the years it seems like they've started skimping on ingredients though and the taste is NEVER consistent anymore. I get the pineapple chicken sandwich often and notice that the chicken is a very thinly sliced breast now... like they should probably rename it just a pineapple sandwich seeing as the chicken looks more like a garnish/filler than the main ingredient. I understand things are more expensive now and businesses look to cut costs where they can, but to pay $13 for a thin sliver of chicken on a sandwich that SOMETIMES tastes consistent to what it should is insane. read more

We go here often. The food is always fresh, and the portions are a good size. I usually get the chicken or pork bowl with lots of vegetables instead of the rice or noodles. My husband likes the pork bowl with vegetables and noodles. I definitely recommend this restaurant. read more

I have been going to this place since they opened. I have always ordered their chicken bowls with noodles. Today and to my surprise they changed their noodles and I hate them. I called to ask if they would be continuing to use these noodles and they told me yes that they had several complaints about the old noodles not absorbing the sauces. Well, these smaller spaghetti like noodles don't either. I actually don't think it is a "noodle" problem per say but a moisture problem. There is way too much water left on the noodles when they put it in the bowl to make your meal. This is what I think is inhibiting the sauce from absorbing. I am so bummed and probably wont go back because I am always a fan of noodle dishes over rice dishes. read more

I have enjoyed Fire Island Grill in Palmdale since they opened many years ago. My favorite is their chicken bowl and I love 1/2 white rice and 1/2 new noodles. Gotta have the fire sauce too!! I've also started ordering their salads and my go to so far is the one with the spicy ranch dressing. Quick and easy place for a great meal!! The service is always quick and the ambience is clean and comfortable. read more

Fire Island Grill is a small local business with 3 locations in SoCal with offerings for the health conscious and comfort food-seeking alike. I opted for a little bit of column an and a little bit of column b (chicken bowl with spicy pineapple teriyaki and a side of mango macaroni salad). The food, customer service, affordable pricing and ambience all exceeded my expectations. As a first-time visitor, I'll be sure to come back on my next drive through Palmdale. read more

Fire Island Grill - The Macaroni Salad and Chicken Bowl didn't disappoint! - Hawaiian Near Me - Palmdale, California

I came here on a late Friday afternoon and it was pretty empty. I ordered a bowl of noodles with chicken/steak and spicy pineapple teriyaki. The service was extremely quick. It is also nice being able to see the small kitchen in the back. The food itself smelled pretty good but was just alright. I didn't like the texture of the noodles. They were a bit slimy. There wasn't anything to write home about the portions or the meats. The spicy pineapple teriyaki sauce was decent though. read more

TERRIBLE. You try to give these restaurants your business and they do this!! My bill was $75 for 4 people (2 kids) and I have to buy more food because it was a tiny scoop of rice and chicken and the kids were still hungry. The plate is mostly rice in the combo, they hide it under the itty bit of protein. I am feeling like I got ripped off. I hope this place closes. read more

I've eaten almost everything on the menu at least once. Meat is always tender, veggies perfectly grilled, portions are generous, they have the BEST mac salad I've ever had off island. I always get takeout so I can't speak to the service or ambiance. read more

Definitely a great place to go to on a lunch break as the food comes out fast. The salads resemble what you get at a target deli. Nothing too great. read more

Fire Island Grill - Blazing Chicken Caesar Salad - Hawaiian Near Me - Palmdale, California

I heard nothing but great things about this place and wanted to try it tonight. I ordered the steak and chicken platter, steak platter, and kids chicken bowl. Macaroni was decent. The platters definitely had a lot of food, but it felt like filler food mostly - just lots of rice, especially. There was a small amount of meat diced into small pieces. For the price we paid, it didn't feel worth it. read more

Not sure if I was being scammed or if the system just wasn't working. I went in today on 1/29 around 5:10ish. I got a bowl and had a gift card that I had planned to use to help pay for my bowl. I even made sure to check the balance before going in and it had $7 Well the worker scanned it and it wasn't working, and I was like oh I thought it had like $7 on it. And she was like, let me try again. Tried scanning it and it still didn't go through. And she went to go put the card down on the counter and I kind of stuck my hand out so she could give me back the card and then she was like hmm let me try entering it manually. She does that, and still doesn't work. She puts my card down on counter and hands me my food after I pay. And I was like oh like can I have the card back. She didn't even ask if I wanted it back so that's why I'm a little suspicious that maybe she was just trying to keep it for herself? I went right back to my car and checked the card balance again and it says $7 available. So not really sure what happened, if it was the system or the girl trying to keep my gift card for herself. Either way, wack! read more

Fire Island Grill - Screenshot from after I left, current balance $7 - Hawaiian Near Me - Palmdale, California

So we popped in not know what to expect and the food was pretty darn good. It's not fine dining, definitely casual vibes. The staff was courteous and polite. It's a seat yourself leave you trash behind establishment but the place was spotless when we got there. It was quiet and we chose a booth and sat cozy. Now I know you are wondering about the food. Chicken, steak and shrimp was what we indulged in I went with friends. Combo of chicken and steak, two combos of steak and shrimp. We chose the Thai peanut sauce and the jerk sauce. It was fabulous!! Tasty with the right amount of seasoning. The Thai peanut one was spicier than the jerk sauce. It will definitely be on the return list. read more

I came in when the restaurant was nearly empty just one person in front of me and no one behind. The service was excellent: friendly, attentive, and quick. Definitely a highlight of the visit. I asked about their tropical rice and was told it was made with coconut milk and included black beans, which sounded great. I ordered the steak and chicken with pineapple teriyaki sauce, which came with vegetables and a side of their mango pasta salad. The vegetables were surprisingly good clearly fresh, not frozen, and cooked perfectly with a nice crunch. I ate all of them. The mango pasta salad, on the other hand, was a letdown. It was drowning in mayonnaise, with no mango flavor or visible mango pieces. Given the name, I expected something fruitier or lighter, but it tasted like plain pasta in heavy mayo. The rice didn't deliver either. I couldn't taste any coconut milk, seasoning, or much flavor at all it reminded me of plain Minute Maid Rice in a bag. As for the steak and chicken, both were a bit dry. I stopped eating after a couple of bites. The pineapple teriyaki sauce just tasted like standard teriyaki no pineapple flavor to speak of, which was disappointing. For a $24 plate, I expected more. Based on this experience, I wouldn't recommend it. If you're craving something similar, I'd suggest checking out one of the Hawaiian food spots in the area instead. read more

Fire Island Grill - Steak & Shrimp Platter soooooo yummy - Hawaiian Near Me - Palmdale, California

We have gone to this establishment for a few years now. And though the food is very good they never get the order right! Tonight was it for me. Paid over $80 for 3 bowls W/extra meat. Was there extra meat NOPE!! Not even busy to have an excuse not to pay attention to what was ordered. Also mad at my hubby for not checking. For the price shouldn't have to check!!! Very angry! read more

I ordered a salad and the taste and flavors were delicious. I did not take photos because I left my phone at home like an animal without sense lol But it was yummy. If I'm in that area again I'll go back and try some more items read more

Food is ok the review is for the portion size but paid $16.00 for a bowl of rice and 10 little pieces of chicken.

Now! I eyed this place for the longest time ! I finally tried it and was blown away by the flavor that was running through this bowl. I ordered through door dash and it came fast and extremely fresh. I was amazed by the steak and the rice ! I got it with a side of the spicy pineapple teriyaki sauce and maaaaan I have to order another bowl because this place was incredible! I may need to go inside and try it out because there was a salad that was looking REAL good on the menu ! I can't really specify how the service was here because I didn't get to go inside and evaluate it but I wouldn't put it past me that it would be an amazing place. When I go inside I may update my review just to match what the service is. But I do definitely recommend this place to anyone that loves bowls like I do. I love a nice bowl whenever it's lunch or dinner time. I will definitely be back read more

No frills Hawaiian Teriyaki inspired. Stopped on it after visiting the poppy fields in Lancaster, my friend told me about this place. The teriyaki is pretty decent here. We order 3 bowls and ate it in the car before driving back down to LA. If you must, you need to get your teriyaki with their coconut rice! It's a must have! Currently open during covid19 for pick up and delivery. Affordable pricing and quick service! read more

Good food, fast service and it's always clean when I go. The bathrooms are also clean.

I found this wonderful and delectable restaurant on yelp. I went on a search for something healthier than the usual fast food selections and Fire Island was the closest in proximity. When I entered the restaurant the first thing I noticed was how clean the dining area was. The ambiance was relaxing, dim lights and soft music. I told the Chef "Andres" that is was my first time in and that I noticed them on yelp. He asked what was it that attracted me and I showed him a photo of the meal that I seen in the reviews. He quickly identified it and proceeded to give me the choices I had. I went with the Surf 'n Turf platter. It was delicious! Good portions of protein and veggies. He educated me on the coconut rice, which was amazing! When it came to the sauces, he gave me the choices and when I looked unsure, he suggested that I try all 4 which was Awesome! I like the Spicy Pineapple Teriyaki and the Jerk one. Overall I give this experience a 5-Star in Cuisine, Service and Price! I will definitely be back! ~PivotalRandy read more

This place is really delicious. Nothing here really reminds me of the Hawaiian islands, but it is definitely tasty. The restaurant had cool decorations, but missed the opportunity of creating a unique experience by having the wrong music on. The service was nothing special, i didn't feel bad pressing the skip the tip button. I gave this spot a 4/5 due to portion size. The portions are wayyy too small for the price. read more

Amazing spot to eat. Have eaten here a few times now. It's always so convenient, fast, and delicious. All the people that work here are very efficient and take pride in providing a great and cheerful experience. The attitude of the people at this restaurant makes for a very positive atmosphere. I feel transported to an island paradise. Such generous portions and deals as well. Will continue to go here, the quality for the price is awesome! read more

Fire Island Grill - Chicken & Chicken and Luau Pulled Pork Platter - Hawaiian Near Me - Palmdale, California

I have been a long-time customer and eat here frequently. I frequent this place because I really like the food. I went in last week and ordered a bowl, and it hardly had any vegetables. I asked the worker Andres (the guy with the weird bandana on his head) if I could get just a bit more. He said that it would be an extra charge. Mind you, I have been a loyal customer for years, and I know what their portion size is. He became really nasty with me. He started to use foul words with me and get in my face as though I'm 10 years old. He was also pretty nasty with the other workers. I'm not sure why this establishment allows this type of this abuse towards the customers and other workers. Needless to say, I won't be coming back here. There is a new place on 10th and Avenue M by the new Arco. I hear that they give bigger portions. It's sad because I truly loved this place for many years. read more

This Tuesday I decided to order some food and this place came up. I ordered Surf and Turf with veggies and rice and the Blackened Shrimp to me was really good but the steak was a bit dry and the macaroni saladwas blain. However, when I put the Pineapple sauce and teriyaki sauce the flavors came together better. read more

Really good food. Although I give a 3 star review since they give you such a small amount of meat. I ordered the chicken and beef bowl and literally there was about 5 pieces of chicken and a little more of beef which there pieces of meat are tiny so that is not much. I love coming here, but lately they have been giving less and less meat. It's to expensive for $16 with the amount of meat they give. Hopefully it changes because I love it here. read more
