“ I took my sister to Islands for her birthday, whereby our server was Paige. Paige was not only courteous and proficient, but also efficient in work by ensuring our visit was the best it could be. Paige was very friendly while engaging in conversation with my sister and me. I ordered the Bleunami, which was amazing and perfect in every way. It was cooked exactly the way I like it, and was delicious. I have ordered this many times before, at the Porter Ranch location, and it is always wonderful. Overall, the entire experience was great. The perfection of the food, the atmosphere provided by our server Paige, etc., resulted in an invigorating and memorable experience, and will keep us coming back to Islands Restaurant in Porter Ranch. Thank you all. ”
“ We absolutely love the China coast salad. We just ordered two of them and the chicken was rubbery, cut different, thin, and disappointing. Please go back to the original cut of chicken you used to use. Don't ruin a great thing. ”
“ I had very good service and the food is tasty but probably unhealthy for me. Their sliders are pretty dry though. The sliders only have their special red sauce and cheese. I like their cheese fries. You can try them during Happy Hour and they are more cost efficient. I really like eating their burgers but I don't think I'll order the sliders again. ”
“ Who doesn't love islands, this location accommodated me perfectly with an outdoor table when I brought in my fur babe (a 85lb pitty) after a hike. The service was great, the food is always delicious, and they immediately brought me a bowl of cold water for my pup. I was able to get him an unsalted patty too as a snack while enjoying happy hour, so we all were happy :) My only complaint is them taking away the unlimited fries, but they do load up the ones you get ”
“ It was perfect. Just perfect. I loved the bright, open air atmosphere, clean and friendly service. My Bleunami burger was cooked to perfection and I subbed my fries for onion rings. And how about that Kona pie?? Loved it. My friend and I were enjoying our long chat in this cool, burger joint. ”
