Islands Restaurant Pasadena

Great food always awesome bugers

Can't go wrong with Islands. Just miss unlimited fries as a fat guy.

$90 for 3 people for lunch and zero alcohol is pretty steep for a chain restaurant, but we all enjoyed our meals. The cheese fries were always a go-to there, and they've actually improved. The onion rings were surprisingly good. One of the servers coughed on us without covering her mouth, but I'm not going to judge a restaurant by one person's grossness. The worst thing though is how small the sides of condiments are. If you want extra mayonnaise for your burger you're probably going to have to ask three times for those little thimbles that they give you. Were talking 1 ketchup packet's worth of ranch per metal thingie. I'm sure some overpaid corporate employee pitched this as a way for them to save money, but they had to buy the little metal thingies, and they're just going to have to wash 8x as many of those as they normally would have. Annoying. But, the food was very good, the waitress was friendly and adorable, and the service was very very fast. We'll be going there again soon I'm sure.

For what it is (casual dining), it's good food. With generous servings. And the staff is usually first rate. May have a wait at busy times but if you know, you'll be prepared Parking: Front is limited but plenty in back

Mmm yummy

I’m not sure why the music has to be so loud that the waitress can’t hear our order. I know that the owners of Islands think that blasting music makes the place islands better, but it does not. Music at an appropriate volume where you can speak with others would be appreciated. Once again my friends and I have left and gone to Panera bread across the way.
