Islands is always a cool spot, I've been going ever since I was a kid. The food is always consistent, and there's something for everyone. Our server Danielle was awesome, attentive, pleasant and engaging. Well be back for sure.

The best burger place in town .. the spot is perfect whether it’s formal or casual meeting .. the consistency in quality is mind blowing same great awesome medium burger every time I go there .. even the service was as good as the burgers .. an awesome experience every single time!
Excellent service, great atmosphere. This location even has a fire pit at one of the outside bar top tables. Great place to bring the whole family. Maui burger is the best. They even serve bowls, burritos and tacos,soups,salads, sandwiches.
Our favorite server is Amy! She is an absolute pleasure to see and is very helpful! I love their patio! So nice for lunch, happy hour or dinner! Amy is the best!
Islands has always been a favorite of mine, since living in Orange County for so many years.
They've always provided good service and good tasty juicy burgers and their seasoned fries are delicious too.
Very rarely have I had a poor experience with their wait staff, and on my most recent visit it was the same good cheery friendly service as usual.
There was an incident that occurred with my food, but the restaurant's management handled it quickly and appropriately and I was happy!
It's too bad that there aren't any Island Restaurants closer to where I live now, because it is a bit of a treat to have such flavorful juicy familiar food, and it's a good treat!
Three of us went for happy hour. Each had a drink and an appetizer that we shared. Buffalo wings, artichoke dip, and fries. Good bar food. Not too crowded and not too loud, so we were able to talk.
I enjoyed eating lunch here with some family while visiting from Colorado. The tortilla soup and bottomless fries were good, but my burger was perfectly cooked and absolutley smashing 😋 The staff was very friendly and the food came out quickly, we need these back home!
The food is what we expected from Islands, good, comfort food that is always the same when we order our favorites. Quality food. The server Cait was absolutely amazing, and worth driving all the way down to Irvine fo go back and see her.
Really good burgers and beer with a great vibe. Whether dining Al fresco, in the bar or seated in the main dining area you will enjoy a good meal with a friendly staff.
Food was good but are waiter was not checking on us if we needed anything, and it was not crowded...thats why I gave it three stars.
Islands is nice sometimes for a burger. I don’t think it’s the best burger you can get or anything but it’s overall very solid and has a great flavor. The fries are kinda mid though, they’re edible but not special, I’d like to see them change up the supplier to get some higher quality fries. As they are now they turn into styrofoam and are dry after they cool off which isn’t cool.
Perfect place after a very day. Loved everything. Huli Huli chicken sandwich was the best.
Love the food!
[Update 8/6/2022] Went there for lunch and were seated promptly, as always. Both my wife and my son ordered their favorite fish tacos and I ordered the Beachside bowl. It has fresh grilled pineapple, red bell peppers, snow peas, water chestnuts, red onion, broccoli & diced scallions. And it’s served over white rice. And I like that you can get both, the teriyaki or hoisin sauce on the side. You can order it with grilled chicken but I got the grilled fish, which is my favorite. And I had a strawberry lemonade and the refills kept on coming. Our waiter was on top of that. We usually go to their Orange location but this one is great too. Congratulations to them on celebrating 40 Years in business!
Can’t go wrong with Islands. Good food for a casual lunch or night out. They have a tangy island salsa that is pretty addictive. I usually go with the north shore tacos subbing fries for the beans. Or just a nice order or hot wings does the trick (carrots only on the side because let’s be honest no one likes celery). Probably the best restaurant choice in Irvine Market Place in my opinion.
Went for lunch with a large group and server was attentive and efficient. Food came out fresh and the lunch special was definitely a better value than the regular items.
Great experience in Tustin market location. Friendly staff and ambiance. Frozen margaritas the best I have had in a long time. Just a perfect mix not too sweet very refreshing. Our burger and fries we loved.
Food was great and service was excellent. Fries were very tasty. One of my kids had the Jr. Wave Cheeseburger and the other had the Jr. Tiki Tenders. They both enjoyed it a lot. I had the Big Wave burger with cheddar which was really good. Angus Patty was cooked with a little pink thru the middle which is how I prefer it anyways. The Kona Pie slice is huge and good for 4 people to share. Waitress provided spot-on service, didn't miss a beat, and was really great with my kids. The manager came to check on our visit and I noticed him taking food out to tables as well.
This is a the type of restaurant that I will continue to support with my business. This was my first time eating inside, prior orders were COVID pickup to go orders which were good as well.
