Islands Restaurant

I like Islands for what it is...Hamburgers. What I hate is to be still eating my lunch & have the waitress bring over the bill! I think it's just rude.

Could be hard to find parking Friday-Saturday nights, especially if there's a big movie that just came out.

I suggest ordering any of their burgers (with unlimited fries), the tuna sandwich, any of their desserts, and/or onion rings.

Prices are a tad high, but the portions are pretty big.

After your meal, go next door to shop at Tilly's, and/or watch a movie at Edwards.

Islands is usually the go-to place for my friends and I after a movie (or before one if there is a midnight screening). Came in today with a couple of friends after an advance movie screening and wanted something different.

We were seated fast, and the friendly waiter came by asking about drinks. I already had an idea of what to order, my usual, the Toucan Sandwich with a mug of Islands Golden Ale; but decided to try something different.

The Pesto Paradiso looked pretty good, and I was hungry after the almost 2.5 hour movie and a "live" Q&A with the star and director afterward.

The sandwich--not sure why they call it a sandwich, it comes on a burger bun--was huge, and delicious. Grilled chicken breast, jack & parmesan cheeses, with basil pesto, lettuce, tomato & mayo, and a side of Islands fries. Almost ran out of room half-way through, but powered on.
