We have been a customer for many years. Food and Bar drinks is great. Our last experience was dreadful on Friday November 7th at 5:00. We ordered bar drinks and appetizers. Our server who brought out the appetizer we asked her to provide us with plates, napkins and forks. She never came back. When she brought out our dinner we reminder her that she had forgotten to bring out the items we asked her. She replied. I am bad and said that several times and that she was busy. She told us that that was not her job, and that next time we should ask the bar tender, and that was their job. I reported her to the Bar tender when he came to provide us with our check. Very disappointed with this experience. Islands should be more careful on who they hire. read more

Love all the staff. Food is delicious. Love the Island's Blonde beer. Only problem is the place is ALWAYS freezing cold. Please please please, less AC. read more

We are frequent flyers at Islands and always get good service there and the food is great, that's what keeps us coming back. But tonight, we had an excellent server named Amelie that i just had to give a shout out to because she was on point all night with us. Our food came out quickly and was delicious as usual She was friendly and cheerful with a big smile, took our orders correctly and kept our drinks full. She also checked back several times just to be sure everything was perfect. It seemed she really loves her job. It made our experience refreshing and I hope her managers appreciate her. Keep up the great work Islands and Amelie! read more

Sierra was super kind. My wife, baby and I had such a great experience. She made sure we were good at all times and was super kind. She was very personable and kind. (Especially to by baby). The food was also really good, great quality. read more

Food - 5. Cold beer - 5. Service - 1000000!!! Marc is the best. He and the crew handle a busy bar full of hungry and thirsty customers so well. He keeps our drinks full and makes sure our food orders are perfect. This restaurant has become our go-to! read more

I came here with my family and the first thing we were greeted with was a hostess who wasn't very nice. She talked with a really negative attitude. Hopefully she was just having one bad day or something. The food was pretty good. I would say the burgers were solid and the spinach and artichoke dip was super good. The fries were nicely seasoned and they gave us whatever other sauces we wanted. The vibe is very on theme and it's very much like a tiki hut. Pretty good experience overall though. read more

Came in during lunch hour, sat in bar area. Food was good and service by Cisco was great. He was attentive and checked in on us often. Will be coming back. read more

Tried their $10.00 Big Wave special. It had no cheese. Not going back. I have 2 stars for the service but the food was not good.

This place is a nice casual hangout with good food, good service, and great drinks. It has been interesting to see the menu evolve. The only thing is that the physical menus themselves always seem kind of dirty, which is not appealing for when you first sit down. (The photos I'm posting are just to show what they sell, not the dirtiness.) I do recommend this location despite that. read more

We go to Islands pretty regularly and sad to say this visit, at this location was a let down all around. The food did not taste as good as it usually does. Service was also not as good overall. The male hostesses were pretty obnoxious. Teenage boys yelling out at the guests as they were leaving, I'm sure they thought there were being funny but it got annoying after a bit and the guests leaving didn't seem to appreciate it either. read more

Always great food and service here. One of the few places that still serve a good passion/tropical iced tea. Always goes perfect with a juicy burger. read more

I have been to this location numerous times as other Islands to celebrate family events, graduations & personal victories or just a night out. I had a great time with my significant other, although we could've been more attended too. It felt like some tables were being prioritized, just what we noticed. Parking was not an issue if you come to this establishment it is in a sizeable plaza so I do not think parking would be a problem for large groups & gatherings. We requested a table for two wait was 10 minutes but we decided to sit at the bar instant seating. The restrooms were clean & they have clean wipes if you ask your waiter Would I recommend? Yes Would I come back? Yes read more

Our server was so busy but still provided excellent service his name is Wences and he is a super hero. He takes care of everything. He takes the orders with a smile. He is fast. He cleans the empty tables. He is always smiling. I admire his energy and enthusiasm. He is my personal favorite. read more

This has been a standby for going out to eat with my in-laws because of Islands' ability and willingness to provide for special menu needs and preferences. The vegetarian, the "anti-inflammatory diet", the gluten-free, the Paleo eater - Islands has a meal for each of them. All delivered with a smile. While their food isn't exciting, everybody's needs get met at a reasonable price. read more

Stuck to the original menu with burgers and fries. Just ok, nothing spectacular. The kids enjoyed it but not a go to spot for hamburgers and fries. read more

***********************For the coldest beer in town with Ice chilled mugs . Great selection of IPAs, Ales & Summer cocktails. The food is just bar food. Nothing exciting. They bring the fries out before the burgers. They brought the side salad out after the burger. Apologies accepted. I recommend going for the beer not the food. read more

Islands Restaurant - This frozen concoction that makes me hang on - Burgers Near Me - Fullerton, California

Islands has such a fun ambiance, it makes me feel like I'm visiting Hawaii, taking me on a tropical getaway whenever I eat here. My kids absolutely love it and get excited when we come here- their favorites are the fries, the chicken wings and of course the desserts!! They have some health options when I'm in a healthy mood or some of my favorite guilty pleasures like the spicy Kilauea burger and the most delicious margaritas. I also love the craft beer flight and the spin dip. The management here is the best - always providing great service and taking care of the customer. The staff is friendly and service driven and the manager Dean always comes by to make sure we are having a great experience. Definitely recommend! read more

we stop to have dinner with my husband and we were offered to seat at the bar area even though there was a lot of tables available and several waiters not doing anything but we decide to take the bar area which was much busier with just one waiter. We waited for 15 minutes to see if someone can help us but it seemed that we were ignored. We saw the other waiters goofing around and we asked them about who will come and help us and they insisted it will be the bar tender who was already busy. We waited but the help never came so we decided to leave. We don't know if they did it purposely to affect the bar tender because he was already busy and they don't. End up eating at Red Robin, great service. Hope your service improves. read more

I had occasion to recently have a weekday lunch here. They offer weekday luncheon specials which are quite excellent and reasonably priced. I had the Lunch Double Stack Burger which goes for $10.39. It was huge and also comes with an enormous basket of french fries. The regular menu is a little pricey, but the food here is quite good and the service is good as well. The luncheon specials are the best deal. read more

After I asked bartender if they had tennis channel, she said she'd go ask her manager. I visited restroom after I notified Jess, the bartender. I returned but 2 bartenders with the manager got into a meeting and made me and another lady sitting and waiting. 5 minutes later, the nicest hostess was willing to help so she went to ask Jess, the female bartender. Guess what? They didn't have tennis Chanel. Limited channels we subscribed said by the nice hostess. It's a simple question really No need to treat an Asian elderly lady who just crossed students. I contributed to my community and deserved respect. read more

I really enjoyed my food, it was tasty, I just wish it wasn't so cold in there, I had to cover my food with a couple of napkins because I don't like cold food. My husband's fries got so cold, they got really hard. read more

Service was amazing, our server Sierra - super helpful and kind - great dining experience. The food was good too, the Kilauea Burger was really good, I thought it would be a bit more spicier but it was more mild with a peppery taste. The meat itself we asked for medium and it was perfectly cooked and juicy. We replaced the fries for sweet potato fries of course and it was delicious as usual. The Island Nachos was a little more of a letdown with just melted cheese versus like nacho cheese... If that makes sense but still decent. We were seated pretty quickly for a Sunday afternoon and the booths were comfortable and it wasn't too loud, perfect for conversation and without anybody listening in. Overall, great location with good food and service! read more

We had a delightful server, Sierra who was very good at her job as a server but had an even better personality! Made our regular burger lunch far more enjoyable. We will come back and hope she is working the next time as well! If ALL your staff were as personable as she is--you would be packed 100% of the time! read more

Came in here after basketball game with my buddies and again was not disappointed(though almost)Good thing Matt who attended to us this time accommodated our wine bottle with no corkage although it seems this isn't standard policy unlike by Lazy Dog since He had to ask bartender prior as he said that we almost left... Anyways food was delish as we ordered fish tacos,Truffle fries and quesadilla...We all agreed that this is starting to be our Friday go to place for Happy Hour after games..too bad they just close early around 9:30p i think but yeah will definitely be back soon. read more

Service was very slow even though there were not a lot of people. The green beans were good, the cheese fries came out cold. We had to ask our server what was taking so long on the fries. The sliders were tasteless. No ambiance at all. I now remember why I haven't been here in quite awhile. read more

Weird ass bald manager who is mad he is pushing 50 and working at islands lol. Also, young girl who came off weird and rude lol. I usually go here all the time. I've been a loyal customer for 5 years. Never had a problem. I live across the street! Todays vibe made me uncomfortable. You guys will go out of business in a year tops anyway. Change your attitude lol read more

Do not order takeout. Absolute worst service. 1st time: We ordered delivery and two drivers went there. The second one waited for over 30 minutes (we were communicating), then Islands canceled the order and it was "closed". 2nd time, 1 week after first: ordered online. Went in person for takeout. Waited 50 minutes after food was scheduled to be ready. Repeatedly reminded host. Finally got completely cold food, half of the order wrong/missing: - no root beer float (a delivery service would reimburse this, but who wants to go back and fight with the restaurant over it? Lost money.) - Longboarder burger in Bluenami labeled box - Regular (not Bluenami) burger, no condiments, in Longboarder box) - no salad dressing Dine-in might be better? Takeout or delivery: prepare to get screwed. read more

I love the French fries and burgers. Lots of seating inside and quick service. Staff are friendly. Under the booths are a little dirty sometimes but other than that this is my go to spot to treat myself once in a while. read more

went here for the first and probably last time. the food looks good but here's the tea. note that you cant get medium rare, all burgers are at least cooked medium. the kilauea burger was insanely peppery, a little too much. i know that it's crusted with black pepper but dang, they were extremely liberal with the pep. the maui burger was okay, there was a lot of onion and the bacon was super crispy. the buffalo wings... i mean look at the picture. it seems as if they didn't even toss them. half of them lacked sauce and the other half were drenched in sauce. i honestly think i liked the carrots more. fries were crispy but had absolutely no salt whatsoever. i kid you not i had to season them soooo much. don't even get me started with the ranch. it was atrocious. it was so watery and but tasted okay. service was good until it wasn't. we never got water from our server and they came to check on us once we got our food, and when the check arrived. this is quite unacceptable as there weren't too many people. it was nice inside but i'm not sure if i'll see it again anytime soon. read more

Crud on my cup of water and a hair on my burger! I should've took pictures, but forgot. Service not all that quick and efficient either. But...once I got a fresh burger (hair free) that was fresh and hot, it tasted delicious! Unfortunately, had to wait a bit for my onion rings and by the time I got my food, everyone else on the table had finished eating. However, a big shout out and thank you to the manager for providing my burger complimentary! That was appreciated! read more

Islands Restaurant in Fullerton is one of the two crown jewel restaurants in Amerige Heights Town Center alongside California Tofu Grill. Their burgers are fantastic. Also, the sides that come with the burger are so delicious, such as crispy fresh-cut islands fries, sweet potato fries, or truffle fries. Friendly and attentive staff and a comfortable atmosphere to enjoy the meal. My favorites: - Big Wave - Longboarder Burger - Maui Burger - Malibu Burger - Shorebird Sandwich - Classic Fish Tacos - Truffle Fries I hope this place continues to flourish for years to come! read more
