We really love Islands food, especially the cheese fries and chicken tacos. The atmosphere is great. The only thing I would recommend, is that several times we've gone and a majority (sometimes all) of the televisions were showing sports and no surf. That is one of the reasons we go is to watch surf channel, since it is Islands. Other than that, its great.
They waiter and management where super awesome. We where just finishing our drinks when power went out in the whole entire shopping center... the manager came up to us and told us the meal was on him... even tho we werent mad or anything and still willing to pay he wouldn't let us. Super amazing group of people... �

This was my 1st time trying this food. And I ordered a Chicken Hoisin Bowl w/teriyaki sauce. It was so delicious! And what was so convenient for me since I'm using crutches at the moment, they offer curb side "to go" service. I've never experienced that. But I loved it! �
I totally recommend Island's. They just gained a new customer & can't wait to try other items they have.
Our waitress plus 4 additional workers had asked us if we needed anything and took our dirty dishes away. I've never experienced that kind of attention. Very thankful.
I think Islands is a great family restaurant. Service is always great and the employees are always friendly!!

Awesome customer service! We were there during one of my boy's school Family Night Fundraiser at the Torrance location & our server Eddie was great! Very helpful, friendly & courteous!
Used to go here all the time in the 90's as a teenager. Was very happy to see nothing has changed! Same great food and atmosphere.
Great food, atmosphere and staff. Wonderful time had by all!
Service was great!
Best Bloody Mary for lunch!
I will be back!
Fantastic service, quick and efficient, especially with catering to bottomless food and drinks. The bottomless soup is a great deal, and so are the bottomless drinks. There's a variety of different sandwiches and burgers to choose from, and vegan options with the impossible burger. You can order any burger and swap the patty out with an impossible patty, instead of having to stay within the limits of the default impossible burger. The fries were great, so was the burger itself and the wings. 25-15 minute wait time, bathrooms available, seating area not entirely spacious, and decently cleaned. Straws provided. The menu can be pricey.
Islands has been my favorite burger place for over a decade, but when you're paying $16-18 for burgers and fries it's hard to justify. Add a drink and it's a $21 meal. Still, good food, good drinks, and good service. I love Islands but it is just getting harder to justify, I know it's not their fault but for around the same price I could get a decent Italian, Asian, steak dinner or even a bison burger at The Counter.
Decided to splurge this time, upgraded my fries to chilli cheese fries, got apps, and even desert (though their brownie is actually a good deal), and dinner for two came to $73. I use to visit Islands in college 3-4x a month now it's 3-4x a year.
Oh, and their "rewards program" is really poor, little incentive to actually sign up or get me to come back more often.
We have and I learned about half a mile away from our house! We come here often and enjoy happy hour! The food is always good and the service is fantastic! :-) that's why we keep coming back! :-)
Food was awesome! Service was satisfactory nothing exceptional. Willngo back.
China Coast salad was delish!!!
The Buffalo chicken wings were awesome, and the island iced tea was just as good.
Even though I only eat the tuna sandwich, sweet potato fries or a salad. It's a cool spot to chill and watch the game or have a drink. Customer service is cool also. Check them out.
I’m a big fan of Islands because they make turkey burgers, and the turkey is actually tasty. My last meal, pre-lockdown, was at Islands here in Torrance. Usually, this location is not my favorite Islands- I prefer the one in Manhattan Beach- but this one runs pretty close. The wait staff is almost always friendly, and the food is quick and tasty.
On our last family trip, we started with nachos. The first round came out kind of burnt, with the cheese clumped in the middle. Our waitress was great, exchanged them, and brought out some nachos that were definitely tasty. I always ask for extra jalapeños- because who doesn’t love a little spice?
Between the group, we got chicken tacos, a Greek salad, a cheeseburger and a sundae. A little hack- did you know you could sub out the beans with the tacos for refillable fries? I love French fries, so this is always my go to if I get the tacos.
It was a really nice dinner out, and I look forward to dining in Islands again soon.
