I can always count on islands! A little cheeseburger, a little app, a little mai tai.... Been going to islands for 20+ years. I started coming to the Glendale islands when the paceo Pasadena location very sadly closed (please reopen!!!) Erin E is amazing. I hadn't been in for a while and she still remembered me AND my order. 10/10 every time. Thanks, Erin!!! See you next time :) read more

Islands Restaurant - Happy hour spinach dip - Burgers Near Me - Glendale, California

Came in for an early lunch when they opened, we were greeted right away by a nice young asian lady. The restaurant was bright, clean, and had TVs playing World Cup soccer. Our server was friendly, attentive, and repeated back our orders to us to make sure there were no hiccups. Food came out in a timely manner, was hot and fresh. This islands is located north of the Americana/glendale galleria. First time at this location and was a pleasant one. read more

I used to come here when I worked in the area yearsss ago and was happy to see they were still there. They have a great Happy Hour and I love that they have lots of TVs and often have the sound ON. The burgers are still as delish as I remember, although I miss the free french fry refills they used to give. You can never go wrong with the Hawaiian burger, it's my go-to. Glad to see they also offer healthier options (although I've yet to try them lol!) Ella at the bar is also super friendly and welcoming. read more

Located in the same building as CPK and Olive Garden, Islands is a well-known restaurant with American style food. I would say that this place is good if you're looking for a restaurant style burger. They also have a pretty decent $10 lunch special. The service is pretty fast for a chain restaurant. The ambiance is pretty cute and it feels like you're in Hawaii. The parking lot is easy to get to and it's 90 minutes free read more

Islands Restaurant - Spinach Artichoke Dip - Burgers Near Me - Glendale, California

Haven't had islands in over 7+ years. They got rid of it in LV. The pacific rim bowl was delicious. A healthier lean option! Yum!!

We were shopping in the area and decided to stop by here. My kids and husband all ordered burgers and shakes. I had a type of burrito bowl. The service was pretty consistent. My bowl was okay I thought a little pricey but okay. My kids loved the shakes and smoothies. I think you're better off getting a burger. The portions were okay and fries were good. We overall had a good experience. read more

Islands Restaurant - Lunch Double Stack Burger - Burgers Near Me - Glendale, California

Upon arriving, we were seated promptly at a cozy two top. Our server Seth was there in no time and greeted us with a warm and inviting aura. He helped navigate us through the menu with tender care, I'm a vegetarian, and he thoroughly explained all the options available for my dietary restrictions. Seth also recommended the Mango IPA for a drink, and it was exactly what we were looking for: a beer bursting with fruity flavor. I settled on the Kilauea Burger with a veggie patty, and my girlfriend got the Beach Bowl. The Kilauea Burger was exceptional, the crispy grilled onions paired with the chipotle aioli was truly divine, and the jalapeños added a spicy kick that was just right. My girlfriend also enjoyed her Beach Bowl, she was particularly fond of the crisp crunch of water chestnuts. All in all our experience at Islands was great. The food was amazing and our server Seth won us over with his charm and wit. We will definitely be back! read more

I am at this location often with my buddies. Always a good time and nice COLD beer. Erin and crew are the best. The time I am there it is Erin working and taking care of me and the crew. Good conversations and she is always doing something from cleaning, polishing bottles / glasses and running back and forth. You can feel she loves her job. Always smiling and happy to serve. You can feel / see it. AND she comes with a full brew right after that last swallow. Great perfect service from all!! Thanks!!!! read more

Great service and I enjoyed their cheddar fries a lot one of my favorite. I also like their regular big wave whenever I order beef once I month, this is one of the places I go to. And I get a double big wave. Thank you kindly as I forgot to take and post pictures to show here. I will next time read more

I've eaten at Island's four times over the years - twice and more recently at the Glendale location, and twice at the Beverly Hills one. I have never enjoyed a burger there. Every time there is something wrong flavor-wise. Last time - a few months ago at the Glendale location, I thought I would stick to the basic cheeseburger. How can they mess that up? Well they slathered it with mustard, of all things and that just ruined the taste for me. Mustard is not something that I have ever seen on a cheeseburger unless I've specifically asked for it. It didn't have any mayonnaise or ketchup, it just had tons of mustard. I won't be going back again. read more

Consistently delicious. Came with a large group after an event and we were seated together in a large booth and they allowed us to pull a couple of chairs so the party stays together. The food is always great! I enjoyed the tortilla soup which in my humble opinion is one of the best out there. Loaded fries were satisfying too! read more

It had been a while since we've been here. The burgers were so tasty! And they had a burger and fries special! read more

I came with a group of 8 and although we were seated quickly, the rest of the service took a really long time. After eating, we waited about half an hour the check despite making it clear we were in a hurry-- and there was only one other table at the time. I got the Kilauea burger and it was good: I liked the faint jalapeno kick. However, a little overpriced in my opinion (that being said, I'm not very discerning for burgers). The interior did have cool island-themed decor and felt very cozy. The other members of my party enjoyed this restaurant more than I did-- it didn't align with my personal food preferences, and the wait times just left me with an overall negative impression of the whole experience. read more

I come here at least once a week during my lunch break and Erin is always there with a huge smile and the best attitude! She is honestly one of the main reasons I continue going there for lunch. She remembers my order and knows exactly when I need to close out to go back to work. She consistently exceeds expectations and her dedication truly makes a difference! read more

I want to give this place a solid 3.5 stars. The fries were the best part. Fun and cool ambiance during this Saturday night. Service-wise they came by to give food the check and occasionally came once or twice to check up on us. I got the classic fish tacos and thought they were without taste. Usually im a pretty easy going person that's easy to please but the tacos didn't do it. However my wife got the burger and she said that totally satisfied her craving for a burger. Perhaps I'll just go with the burger next time! The atmosphere was the best part of the experience. read more

We usually love Islands but this time it was slightly disappointing. We Uber'd 2 orders of chips and guac, tortilla soup, and kids Mac n Cheese. Everything was hot and what not. The Mac n Cheese wasn't creamy... and the guac was really really salty and they gave us a half a scoop in both orders what we paid for it I felt like we were robbed. So very disappointing! The soup had crazy good flavor and the tortilla strips were amazing!!! read more

Shoutout to Ignacio! He provided excellent customer service from start to finish. He was on top of everything the whole time and our drinks were always refilled quickly, and he made sure we had everything we needed without us even having to ask. What really stood out was his great attitude and positive energy. Ignacio had a bright smile the entire time and made the experience even better. Service like that makes a big difference. Thanks for taking such good care of us we'll definitely be returning customers! read more

We enjoy visiting Islands here in CA or AZ. We enjoy their burgers. Over time the size of the burger has decreased but the cost has increased. It's the time of the day I suppose. The quality remaims great. Our server was attentive and kind. He would refill our drinks timely and gave my son his bday dessert with no question. Thank you read more

Islands is a comfort type of place when you don't feel very daring. They serve burgers, salads, tacos, fries, and stuff like that. I came here with a group of people ranging in ages from a child to grown adults, and our tummies were satisfied. Myself, one of the grown adults ordered the sliders appetizer. It consisted of 4 sliders on miniture buns, a handful of pickle chips, and those crispy onion things. Although it was on the appetizer menu for a few bucks less, I was charged for the slider meal for a few bucks more. I didn't even see that option on the menu. . My guy ordered a massive plate of loaded nachos. Everything was pretty good. Our friends ordered mainly appetizers and a couple platters of fish tacos. They seemed to like it. Prices average $16 to $20 per plate. Service was okay. A small delay on making sure our waters and drinks were refilled in a timely manner. Parking is terrible. There is a paid parking lot that requires validation. I'm kind of mixed here. Solid 3.5. read more

Servers and manager are always so friendly and kind. Restaurant is clean and food is remarkable, even when they make mistakes they're always quick to fix it and offer replacements. read more

Islands Restaurant - Crispy onion rings - Burgers Near Me - Glendale, California

We haven't been here for 25 years, and it was as delightful then and more so now, great service, food and ambiance, had lunch with dear friends, I love the Pipeline!!! Wonderful experience with friends read more

My bf and I came here for the lunch special. Our server was prompt and friendly. - Mangorita on Ice ($11.75 normally, $2 off for the month of May). The mix tasted like mango juice with a hint of orange. It was sweet, but not cloying. Normal alcohol content. - Double Stack Burger ($10.99). A solid burger containing two thick beef patties, juicy and meaty, two American cheese slices, raw white onion, pickles, tomatoes, chopped romaine. Either the meat or cheese (or combination of the two) was slightly too salty, so I added plain lettuce from our salad into mine. The burger came with a side of crispy, thick cut fries. They tasted similar to In-N-Out fries minus the cardboard, so they were excellent. We chose ranch for our dipping sauce. The ranch was on the thin side, but had dairy flavor. - Sleek Greek Salad with Chicken ($10.99). I appreciated the big portion and plentiful toppings of cold sliced chicken breast, kalamata olives, feta, red onion, and diced tomato. The chicken was slightly too salty, but that was okay since I just used less of the dressing (we chose balsamic). read more

Stopped by Islands with my family today and usually I am a big fan but today was not it. The service was great and the staff were very nice but the food tasted off. The fries did not taste good and the burgers were average. After eating, my family and I all got diarrhea and that was our first meal of the day so pretty sure the food had something to do with it. Again I'm usually a big fan of Islands so not sure what happened this time but I will give them a try again later read more
