The image shows the exterior of Islands restaurant in Temecula, California, with a parking lot in the foreground. The building features beige walls, blue-striped awnings, and a sign that reads 'ISLANDS' with a palm tree graphic. There are two tall palm trees near the building, and the sky above is mostly clear with some clouds. The photo appears to be taken from inside a vehicle, with the dashboard visible at the bottom of the frame.

First time here in over 7 years. Nichole our waitress was great. She provided excellent service. This location is clean and well ran. The food was very flavorful. I will definitely return months location.

Post-race Hula Burger - A meal consisting of a burger with mushrooms and onions, served with a side of onion rings, is placed on a basket lined with branded paper. A finisher medal from a race event, labeled 'TEMECULA 5K 10K HALF,' is also on the table, along with a fork and a glass of soda. The setting appears to be at Islands Restaurant, with a wooden table and some additional items in the background.

I miss having an Islands Restaurant in Vegas, so when the chance came to eat here, I took it. My hubby, brother, and I had just completed the Temecula Half Marathon and what better way to celebrate than with a big burger. We were seated immediately, which was great since our legs were screaming. Ashley was our server and she was attentive throughout our stay, making sure our drinks were topped up and we had everything we needed. My husband was happy since they were showing the 49er game and there are multiple screens throughout the restaurant so you can watch all the different games in action while you eat. I went with my favorite Hula Burger with sautéed mushrooms, Swiss cheese, lettuce, tomato, and mayo, with onion rings for my side. This really hit the spot after running up and down the hills of the vineyards. I'm so glad that there is an Islands in Temecula so I can get my fix whenever I'm in town.

Beer flight - A beer flight with four small glasses of beer is displayed on a wooden tray at Islands Restaurant in Temecula, California. The beers include a Luau Lager, Sunny Blonde Ale, Mango IPA, and Your Choice. The background shows other drinks and people, indicating a social dining setting.

I've been here before and the service has been great each time. The beer choices were quality. The setting is lively but not overly loud. Sports were playing on many TVs so you can see no matter where you're sitting. I was also able to customize my burger. The onion rings were huge but lacked flavor. They cook burgers to whatever temp you like. Great for a group and the food was actually pretty good. I got the Kilauea burger which was well seasoned and juicy. This place deserves a stop. Check them out and vibe out.

The image shows the interior of a restaurant with a rustic design, including wooden partitions and furniture. The floor is covered with terracotta tiles, some of which appear wet. The ceiling has exposed wooden beams and blue ductwork, with hanging pendant lights. Customers are seated at tables, and a TV screen is visible in the background. The overall setting suggests a casual dining environment with a tropical or beach-inspired theme.

I have eaten at Island many times and never had a bad meal. I owe them this review, so here we go. Seated fast and with a friendly smile, first A +. This is always the case so we can see this is a consistent MO for this place. That comes down to training and culture, excellence! The food is also full of fresh ingredients and put together with care, the first anyone can manage, the second really takes pride in your work to manage. The service on this particular visit was great but I have never had bad service here and so again, training and culture. Island holds itself to a high standard and that makes it the type of place you can visit again and again without a fail. Thanks Island staff, you got this!

See all

I came here to meet up with a friend one day during the week. The beer tender was super nice and…read morewhen I asked for food recommendations he told us everything is great. Funny the reason we chose this spot was because the food looked so good on yelp. Once we got our food I knew he wasn't lying. I got the Cuban and my friend got the Cesar wrap, both were great. We sat outside to enjoy the weather on the spacious patio. We never had to get up for a thing. We were well taken care of, our beers refilled and plates cleaned up. I would love to come back and try more of the food.

This place feels awesome to be at. The wor/kers are easy going and the atmosphere is chill and fun…read moreand can be lively, depending on who's at the bar. Lol! My server made it such a pleasure to be here! He was so kind and so helpful! My reciept said Mike, so im thinking my server is Mike! I came here to try the apple turnover but decided to try that winning burger also. The rez! This burger had a lot going on but didn't taste "busy". The bun looks like a brioche bun, which i hate, but for some reason this burger bun was soft and buttery. It was pretty good. They had a pepper in it with a light aioli sauce. The patties, I should have asked for medium rare or more on the rare side. So my fault. The patty was pretty dry, but the burger still tastes fantastic. The sauce and everything that came with the burger made the burger as a whole taste juicy and filling! I was thoroughly pleased with my burger. What i really enjoyed were those addictive sweet potato fries. I ate half my portion! Thats far more than the 2 or 3 I usually have! I also got the chicken wings, mango pepper. It was flavorful and good enough. Wings will always just be wings to me. Either its good, or its bad. Now, finally, the apple turnover. Surprisingly, I loved the ice cream part the best. That was a really tasty vanilla bean ice cream scoop I got. I loved the flakiness of the pastry and the apple filling was subtle. I could always use more apples and a bit more cinnamon but with all that it came with I think it balanced out nicely. Overall, what I ordered and with the excellent service, I will be sure to come again. I greatly enjoyed my time here even if I was dining for one and with my dogs, but isn't that always the case for me? Im 90% of the time dining for one! This is why food and atmosphere should be excellent for the loner diners! Lol!
