Stopped in for a mid-week dinner while on business.Enjoyed Islands in the past out in California.Similar experience as before with decent food and service.Wasn't too busy at all at this time of week and around 7-8pm.I always enjoy their salads, but tried the fish tacos this round.They were average, good but not great.Had them bring out a little more white sauce and I picked up a few limes from the bar to squeeze over the 3-taco platter.It was an improvement for sure.Plenty to eat at a reasonable price.
Saturday, stopped in after grandsons football game. Kinda busy, but we got a booth right away. Service was immediate (drinks and orders) and the food came out relatively fast, unfortunately it just wasn't great. My wife used to love this place (she always gets the hawaiian burger), but it wasn't pretty raw and just not as good as she remembers. Grandsons got the chicken tenders and the kids bruger. I had the spicy burger - mine was actually pretty good. I also ordered the garlic fries. Overall, everything was just OK, just not as good as we hoped, although my wife didn't like the fries at all and she's not interested in going back. We can get better burgers and fries at other places.
Aloha! It's been a long time since I've been to the Islands! (Last time was for my birthday before their MetroCenter location closed!) I remember always imagining that I was visiting "Louie's" from "Tale Spin" when I went! My best friend and I had planned a trip to Desert Ridge, and I was delighted to see that there was an Islands here! I just knew that was where I'd be going for a belated birthday lunch! Everything was as delicious as I remembered it to be, the service was fantastic on all accounts, and the atmosphere was as fun and relaxed as a day at the beach! I'll definitely be coming back with my best friend and my Service-Dog-In-Training! (Note for future visitors that should read and heed my review: I strongly recommend the Kona Pie for a delicious dessert! It's spectacular!)
