Islands Restaurant

Most of the menu are burgers, so if you're not into them, ya might wanna go someplace else.

Service is all over the map - good to awfuly slow.

Burgers and fries are for the most part, nothing really to rave about. A bit on the bland side.  There are far better places that specialize in burgers in this area.

The bar area can be packed during Happy Hour or on sports weekends. Huge tv monitors everywhere so you can catch whatever game you're following.  

I would rate the place overall, "C Plus."

Just moved to San Diego in November of 2012. I have been really disappointed at the availability and quality of buffalo wings and sandwiches - until today. These were the bear wings I have had in almost 7 months. My lips are burning and smiling!

First time writing a review at yelp and sadly it's not for a good one. Went with my friends 1 hour before closing, we got our seats right away but that's the end of a positive experience. I got a hula burger just because I love mushroom burgers. The order took forever and their "unlimited fries" starts with a very little serving of it. Our water ran out before our orders got there and our server didn't even bother refilling it. The burger that I got was tasteless, and our fries was gone after eating a quarter of my burger. We asked for a fries refill just before the server left just because we know we're gonna consume a lot.

10 min later...no server presence
20 min later...no server presence

Then we asked a different server but we're pretty sure our order was ignored. Basically every other server just ignored us.

Then 10 min before closing, our server came with just one plate of fries (we asked for 3 just because we each ordered one). He said he's sorry and explained the reason was because they are closing in 10 min and asked us if we want the last batch of cooked fries (maybe in consolation). We finished the fries quickly and after waiting again for about 5 min he came back saying he did everything he could but couldn't give us more fries. He said the chef argued that some new customer might come in in the last 10 min wanting fries.

*for the mean while, we were too darn thirsty because he keeps ignoring refilling our water.

We paid to the exact amount and left thirsty.

I don't get the argument that "new customer might come in on the last 10 min". We were customers too, weren't we?
