Try The Tortilla Soup

Everything there is alright. The food is good, the service (when they're not crowded) is good, and the ambiance is casual.

The one thing they are very good at is the tortilla soup.

Information from the business

brought to you by

Citysearch

Known for serving the tastiest big burgers in a fun, tropical atmosphere, Islands appeals to surfers of all ages. Chow down on flavorful burgers, specialty salads and signature soft tacos while watching surf videos. And don't forget to try a big basket of fresh cut fries with the skins on. Enjoy Happy Hour with half-price appetizers and drink specials in the bar area Monday through Friday, 4 - 7pm ... more

Editorial Reviews from the web

The Scene With thatched umbrellas, photos of crashing waves, stuffed toucans and a soundtrack of twangy '60s surf-rock, it doesn't take a genius to figure out this chain's theme. Yep, it's beach, burgers and plenty of kitsch. The jovial atmosphere and service (not to mention a full-service bar) lures lunching business folk, beer-drinking college students and families with food-throwing toddlers ... more

Wow...What a Burger!!!

brought to you by

Citysearch

You must go to Islands in Burbank. It is by far the best burger in LA! Get a Hawaiian Burger and fries and you are in Paradise. Always fast and friendly service with great atmosphere. The burgers are juicy and fries are the best! Highly recommended!

Pros

+ Great food and service

Cons

- Burgers should come with fries, but they are worth adding on for a couple bucks.

Good burgers, great atmosphere

brought to you by

Citysearch

I don't know what is with this Jerry guy, who in his review, compared these burgers with Jack in the Box?? Obviously he doesn't know a thing about burgers. Why is there a wait to get a table at this establishment? Because people know the food is good, the restaurant is consistantly busy because of it and people will wait for a good meal! I've eaten here for a number of years with my family and with ... more

Tasty food in a pleasant atmosphere. This has long been one of my favorite restaurants.. but beware, the prices have once again increased since the menu was scanned. For most entrees, expect to pay .75 to $1 more than the prices shown here. A three taco plate, for instance, used to cost around $6.95 just about a year ago.. now they run $8.25 - $8.95.

Always dependable for what they do; burgers and fries. A nice place for family eats.

Cheerful and efficient service notwithstanding, the food tastes odd, and the whole place is permeated with a musty, old smell.

ISLAND VACATION!

brought to you by

Citysearch

Service is by far the best at the location in Burbank. I've been to several Islands locations and the service varies but the food is always great - with the exception of the french fries. The french fries are dry - IMO - and the burgers are not only cooked to perfection but seasoned just right. I would avoid the tacos and anyone in love with BLT's would love what they have to offer - although it might ... more

Bad Service

brought to you by

Citysearch

The service is horrible. It took the server 20 minutes to come back with just soda. All my party ordered where salads which apperently take half an hour to make. All this on during lunch on a weekday! The restaurant was not crowded at all so it shouldn't be an understaffing problem. The Islands chain is good but the Burbank location is bad. Only come here if you have time to waste.

Pros

Still one of my faves.. but getting pricey!

brought to you by

Citysearch

Great chain restaurant, the Burbank location features some of the friendliest and most attentive servers, and meals are served promptly. Parking at this location can be a challenge on weekends though. Over the past year, two of my favorite menu items were eliminated or substantially reworked (bring back the Cabo soft tacos -- the Cabo Loco is too bland!), and menu prices have crept up about $1 to ... more

Good stuff

Islands is a fun place, with good margaritas and a relaxed atmosphere. The chips and salsa are good, and the burgers are fantastic. Its an easy spot to kill an hour before a movie, and a fun one at that.

Feel sorry for Gilligan

I had high hopes for this place after all the rave reviews I've heard. But when I finally got to experience Islands. I had to wait 30 minutes just to be seated to eat a hamburger that I couldv'e got at a local jack-in-the-box. Dont get me wrong the burger isnt horrific. But its nothing to jump for joy over. The fries were a nice touch due to the fact that they leave the skins on. This is basically ... more

The fries here are out of this world -- especially good with a side of ranch. Love the burgers!
