Islands Restaurant Pasadena - American restaurant in Pasadena - 3533 E Foothill Blvd, USA

Been here so many times for 20+ years. Their burgers are still the best in town. This is the first time I tried their tortilla soup though. It was fantastic! The taste of the soup was perfectly balanced. There are enough chicken strips and veggies inside. I will order the soup again next time! However, as we mention that every time we come here now, we miss their endless fries!!! Remember they used to give us unlimited refills on the French Fries! Bring it back please, Islands!

I’ve been coming to this location since it opened. The theming is very cool. The food was good and fresh. We went for the lunch special and happy hour. The chicken tortilla soup was good as always and salad the salad was delicious fresh and crispy. The passion ice tea is the best. We got the drink flight which the ship wreck was the tastiest. The big island ice tea was good once Jessica F remade it fresh. Jessica gave outstanding service and the manager Efran was very helpful and professional. The basket of fries is a must. The ranch and blue cheese are both good. Ten out of ten recommend this location.

Looked good but too much cumin in my salad and in the salsa; rice was super sour. Thank goodness I ordered fries, which were great. Loud. And servers were extra loud as they congregated outside kitchen area.

Update for 11/23 Burgers seem a bit smaller, but still good. The lunch specials are pretty good value all things considered. No more endless fries which is a bummer. But the fries are still excellent. I need to come back again soon. The lunch burger special is too dry for my taste so ask for mayonnaise on the side so you can add it to your burger. ***************** My favorite burger place. I love burgers. They cook the patties medium so they are a little pink on the inside which is perfect. I don't like all the different burger varieties, but I have my favorites. Been coming to Islands for years, great burgers, the best fries and reasonable prices.

Excellent veggie burgers and great french fries. Service was great and speedy. There was a table that I could sit at when I was in a wheelchair. Bathroom is wheelchair accessible if you have a little help. Tip: park in the rear if the front is too crowded and enter through the back.

We had an amazing time. Our server, David, deserves all the high praise. He exemplifies good service. My husband and I each got a Kilauea burger, his had chili, and it was absolute perfection. We also got an order of chips and salsa, truffle fries, and onion rings. Additionally, a Tiki Thai and a Big Island Iced Tea. Superb. We will be back!

I know it was the weekend but this place was hopping!! The staff were on it!! Didn't have to wait for anything. The Malibu Burger was off the hook, super juicy. I do not regret getting it. The fries were perfectly done with the absolute just right amount of crispiness. Bathrooms were super clean. Plenty of parking. Love that surfing is on one channel and football on the other. I wish I could afford to come more often. Downloaded the app and got a coupon. Score!!!

It's the same as I remember 10 years ago. It's good vibes, atmosphere and the food is consistent. Is it amazing? Nah but if you're in the mood for Hawaiin style burgers and maybe some booze it's a great spot
