    Last visit 03-30-26. Came for a drink and no food. The restaurant wasn't packed at all. Available seating at the bar. Bar area was clean. The service was coo. Could've been better. Took about 5 mins to be acknowledged at the bar. The bartender gave us coasters but never placed our drinks on them. Drinks were good tho. I had a Mai Tai. Price wasn't bad either.

    Always been a burger staple of mine when I was younger and a solid go to for family dinners. Came in for a birthday celebration and everyone enjoyed the spinach and artichoke dip. What I really enjoyed is the Kilauea burger with the jalapeño black pepper crust, it's a chefs kiss. That has been my go! The service is always on point taking any special requests, they have on hand to accommodate you and your party. This location was nice sized and could host a decent size party. Always fun music playing and clean restrooms huge plus. Can't wait to explore the menu! One more plus it's affordable around $15 for entrees.

    First time at islands and won't be the last. My burger was so juicy and good. I got the Malibu burger which is a bacon cheeseburger . My server was a very nice lady. Can't wait to comeback and try a different burger . The inside is really nice feels like a little getaway. Also the margarita flight is really good worth $15

    I Lava you! BIRTHDAY MONTH=BIRTHDAY COUPONS=HAPPY RODNEY Free Chocolate Lava or Fudge Brownie for Rewards members I chose the Chocolate Lava a la mode, mainly for the a la mode, not so much for the chocolate lava. On a hot August day, the vanilla ice cream, doused in chocolate syrup, topped with roasted almonds & a maraschino cherry, provided cold comfort. The lava cake, itself, was very rich & sweet, which it's supposed to be. Myself, I could only manage about a handful or less of spoonfuls before my body declared "no mas"! Demolished the ice cream, though ;p Service was good. I asked for to-go, and was brought out the dessert on a plate. Nicely plated, by the way. I clarified that my order was to-go, and the staff quickly packaged everything up. Not as pretty as dining indoors, but places to go & people to see. If you're a sweet tooth, Island's free Birthday Month Chocolate Lava will curb that desire.

    We ordered two Big Wave promos for $10 each (see pic), island nachos with house-made chili ($15 + $3.55), and a couple of entrées from the kids' menu (see pic). It wasn't as busy as I expected for a Sunday night, but still had a good crowd. The wait was less than 10 minutes. Our waitress was friendly, accommodating with the kiddos, and spot-on with our order. Great spot for families, friends, or a casual date. There's also a wide selection of drinks for adults. Didn't care much for the chili, but everything else was decent. Overall, great hangout vibe -- very casual and welcoming. Wish I caught our waitress's name; she was accommodating and friendly. (Bathroom maintenance is big when it comes to how I rate. It was poorly maintained in the men's bathroom.)

    My Cerritos Island's is amazing. Gabriel gave me my To-Go order and not only remembered my ranch dressing- but put TWO in the bag. Service with a smile. While I waited for my order- Joao and Patrick at the bar were amazing and friendly. #cerritos

    Happy 2026 - another amazing night at Islands with Alex and crew! The food was amazing we tried the Kileaua Burger with and extra patty with tasty onion rings. If you want a great night of food and service Islands is your place and Alex is your guy !! Mahalo Islands for another great night

    Dined in on a Wednesday. I wasn't too hungry, so I just got an espresso martini and mud pie while my friend had a burger. The martini was okay--tasted a bit off from the pre-mixed Ketel One espresso. The dessert was overly sweet with subtle mocha flavor and a crust that was just a loose take on Oreo. Prices felt high for the quality. I did try my friend's fries, which were well-fried and seasoned. Service was friendly and attentive. Their decor was a bit cheesy that gives 90s tiki, corporate restaurant vibe. Overall, just okay. I'd maybe return for happy hour.

    Happy new year. This is our Friday night place for many years. We always sit in the bar. Gloria, Tiffany, Alex always give us great service. Ordered drinks and chips & salsa. The server that dropped off or app was very pleasant. Tonight I had the Northshore tacos and they were spot on as usual. Lots of chicken and just spicy enough for me. ( I'm a lite weight) This definitely a place you can come to watch a game and have a conversation without having to yell at each other. Its a great place for a date & family night. All the staff from top to bottom has & is very pleasant & will take a moment to have a conversation with you. Good food, good service!

    Just had one of the best experiences I've ever had at Islands. Our server Alex was awesome -- super friendly, on top of everything, and made the whole visit easy and fun. Food came out fast, everything was fresh and exactly how we ordered it. Honestly felt like everything went perfectly from start to finish. If I could rate it higher than 10/10, I would. Huge shoutout to Alex for making it such a great time -- definitely coming back again soon.

    Fish Taco
    Gabe A.

    I've been here before plenty of times and it's too bad this visit knocked it down. I ordered a fish taco without cilantro. When it arrived, I moved aside the fish and cabbage, and found a large amount of cilantro, as if hidden on purpose. On top of that, the whole thing was pretty tasteless. Service is pretty consistently good so I'm happy about that.

The food consistently hits, but I always have to get the truffle fries... they're just too good. Crispy, flavorful, and honestly one of the best versions I've had. Their burgers and mains are solid too, but the fries are non-negotiable for me. Also love their beer selection -- it's well curated and rotates often, so there's usually something new to try every time we go. Overall, it's just a super reliable spot with great food, drinks, and chill vibes. Definitely one of our regular date night places.

    Had an okay experience! The wait was long, our server was great, and the food was okay…read more We came on a Sunday a little before 6pm with a party of 4. My friend got there early to put our name on the list. The restaurant appeared empty as there were lots of open seats/tables but it took us 40 minutes to get seated. The hosts were apologetic and we chalked it up to the fact that they were potentially understaffed. But it was definitely a bit frustrating to wait 40 minutes From there, the experience was pretty seamless. The service was generally good! My husband and I ordered Brussels sprouts, truffle fries, and a Bacon Jalapeno Jam Burger. Food was pretty standard! Good but nothing to write home about. The burger patty was cooked well, but the bun was a bit dry/stale. Brussels sprouts were good and the truffle fries were probably the tastiest thing we had. Overall, a mid experience!

I was not prepared. I ordered the "Tóxica Máxima" like a man who still thinks his ex is gonna text back. Ten minutes later I was sweating through my shirt, crying real tears, and whispering "lo siento mami" to nobody in particular. The sauce is green like El Veneno himself mixed it in a cauldron under a full moon. It doesn't just burn your mouth; it burns your ego, your credit score, and whatever's left of your will to live.

I didn't know where we were going, so I was surprised to see this was a sports bar with a huge menu that has way more than pizza. We took a seat and the waitress was over quickly to take our orders, he went with what he came for, I had a Supreme pizza. We both got the personal 8" sizes, with his coming in at almost $20, and mine only being $12. I was BEYOND starving so after we ordered my husband got up and asked for an order of chips and salsa. Well, that never arrived. After 30 minutes she brought our pizzas and said the chips & salsa were coming next, I told her to forget it. I'm not sure why she thought we wanted it after our pizzas? Oh well. Pizzas were good! Mine was a typical supreme pizza with LOADS of cheese, tasty marinara, mushrooms, onions, olives, bell peppers, fresh tomatoes and a small amount of sausage and pepperoni. It's a very veggie forward pizza, which I was fine with. I was full after two slices. I thought his pizza would be super heavy, but is was not! The base was chili that tasted a LOT like Tommy's, so we were happy with it. There is a layer of cheddar cheese, some pastrami, and lots of pickles. I picked up on the chili flavor more than anything. Lunch was $40 for the two pizzas, a beer, and an iced tea. If we lived closer I am sure we would have them again, but it wasn't great enough to make a trip out to Cerritos again.

We came on a Tuesday evening right near the end of happy hour. It wasn't too crowded and there was a lot of seating available. They have tables and booths around the restaurant as well as some seats at the bar. They had some sports games playing on the TVs at the bar and there was an ice cream bar at the front. The service was great. Everyone was quick and attentive and really nice. Since we made it for happy hour we were able to get some zucchini sticks for $5. They were crispy and delicious. Really flavorful and soft on the inside. I got the meatloaf Sam- which which was HUGE. My husband got the Tuesday special which was a smash burger with fries and a drink for $15.99. He got a margarita as his drink so he got a great deal. The burger was a little small but he ate the other half of my giant sandwich so it worked out. The meatloaf sandwich had a delicious crispy sourdough bread with a lot of melted cheese. I added some ranch as I thought it was a bit dry but overall it was good. It came with a big helping of fries as well and I got the garlic fries. They were very garlicky but so good with the ranch. My parents got the Cobb salad and the turkey pop pie. My mom didn't love the pop pie, I think because it wasn't really a pie- just a dish with biscuits on top but the Cobb salad was really hearty with a lot of toppings and it filled them up plenty. They ended up taking most of the pop pie to go. This place has a lot of great deals so make sure you check them out. I think Thursday's kids eat free so it can get a little crazy then but the menu is great as there is so much to choose from so everyone can get what they want!
