I recently had the pleasure of dining at Islands Restaurant in West Covina, and it was an absolute delight! From the moment I walked in, I was greeted with a vibrant and fun atmosphere that set the tone for a fantastic dining experience.
The service at Islands Restaurant was truly exceptional. The staff was friendly, attentive, and went above and beyond to ensure that my visit was enjoyable. They were knowledgeable about the menu and happy to offer recommendations. I felt warmly welcomed throughout my entire time at the restaurant.
Now, let's talk about the food! I decided to try the highly recommended Kilauea burger, and it exceeded all expectations. The combination of flavors was simply mouthwatering. The juicy, flame-grilled patty topped with melted cheese, sautéed onions, and spicy jalapeños created an explosion of deliciousness with every bite. It was perfectly complemented by the slightly sweet and smoky notes of the Kilauea sauce. The burger was served on a toasted bun that added a nice touch of texture to each mouthful. I can confidently say that the Kilauea burger at Islands Restaurant is a must-try for burger enthusiasts.
To accompany my burger, I ordered a side of sweet potato fries. They were an absolute delight! Crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, these fries were the perfect balance of sweetness and savory goodness. They were expertly seasoned and cooked to perfection, leaving me wanting more with every bite.
Beyond the delectable food, the lively atmosphere at Islands Restaurant added an extra layer of enjoyment to my dining experience. The tropical-themed decor, with bamboo accents and surfboard-shaped tables, transported me to a beachside paradise. The upbeat music and friendly chatter from other diners created an energetic and welcoming ambiance that made me feel right at home.
In conclusion, my visit to Islands Restaurant in West Covina was nothing short of fantastic. The combination of the mouthwatering Kilauea burger, delectable sweet potato fries, and the fun-filled atmosphere made for an unforgettable experience. I would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a delicious meal served with a side of great service and an enjoyable atmosphere.

Read moreMy boyfriend and I came here for a meal on Sunday January 30th around 6pm and had a burger and sliders. Later that night we suffered horrible symptoms of food poisoning. We are sure it was from their meat because it tasted funny and earlier that day we shared a meal with friends that had no symptoms the only difference is we went to Islands restaurant. We have had horrible symptoms of nausea, diarrhea, vomiting for two days now it has been going on. We have had to stay home from work our symptoms have been so bad, and when further looking at the Yelp two other customers experienced the same thing the same night we went. When I called Islands to report this the supervisor said that the time frame in which we experienced our symptoms are not congruent with food poisoning and had the audacity to say this has NEVER happened at our location, but when looking at Yelp there are reviewers that got food poisoning months before as well. I'm also a healthcare worker and also went to urgent care to get my symptoms check out so I know for sure it was a food borne illness from their uncooked meat. Very upsetting experience, even more upsetting that the supervisor blew it off and said that it's not from their restaurant. I will never be coming back to any islands location and I would be very very cautious of any food you are...
