Reviews For Islands Restaurant West Covina

Normally I would NEVER give a bad review.. but I'm hoping this will help the restaurant. The food was very bland, overcooked and took forever to come out. I have to say, I've eaten at the Islands in Long Beach, and it was AMAZING! So I was really disappointed here. Especially because I hyped it up to my family and it was their first time here. They probably won't be back. I, however, believe in second chances. So I'll try again. If it's better, I'll absolutely change this review. Sorry guys... Re review: 12/7/2022 Went for dinner tonight. Let me just say... they redeemed themselves 100%!! The food was DELICIOUS!! Everything was made/cooked/served exactly the way we ordered it. Thank you Island's (and Joey our server) for the great food and service! So guys, if something isn't great the first time, don't just walk away... always try to give it a second chance. More than likely, you won't be disappointed that you did.

It is a nice restaurant, located in Eastland Center area of West Covina. I have visited this establishment, several times, in April of 2024, when I used to work in the area. They had a good selection of meals, mostly burgers. Of course, without burgers, they have a good selection of soups. Still, I would mostly order burgers. The prices, too, were not on the expensive side. I would spend mostly between 10 to 20. Of course, I would pay the happy hour prices, since I would come here during my lunch break. Inside the establishment, there was ample of space, to sit down, and enjoy the meals. The waiters, who would attend my table, were helpful and attentive. Of course, I cannot forget to mention, that the place was neat. So, if anyone is in the area, I would recommend to stop by this establishment. The prices, too, at least during happy hour, were quite worth it.

Bartender was great! Didn't eat, just had a couple drinks at the Bar. The lemondrop was actually made perfectly. Seems simple but, a hard drink to make. Idea for the theme... add a chicken teriyaki bowl, coconut prawns and loco moco to keep up with the theme. I can get a burger anywhere.

My favorite place in town. The food is always excellent and the servers are often friendly and helpful. Great atmosphere with tropical decor and TVs showing sports or surfing videos. A burger and fries usually comes in at just under 20 but there are a few cheaper and lower calorie options as well. On busy days it can take a while to get seated but worth the wait. Outdoor seating is clean if a little chilly in the winter. I bring my dog and sit out there and the employees usually offer to bring a little water bowl out for him. Note that some happy hour selections are only available at the bar, so if that's why you're there make sure to get seated accordingly.

We always request Lauren when we come here. She takes great care of all our needs and pays great attention to details. Today, I saw a young woman named Ana cleaning the tables. I had to ask fir a manager, and he came to our table quickly. I explained to him how well the 2 ladies worked together, like a tag team, then how well Ana wiped down the booth and swept under the table after. She did that to every table I watched her clean. GREAT JOB DONE LADIES! Thank you both!

I have always enjoyed Islands for a good juicy burger. The Bleunami is the best Blue cheese burger around. The entire staff always has a smile on their face and the service is quick with the staff always checking to be sure everything thing is okay.

First visit to Islands Restaurant in West Covina. Pleasant experience with family and friends. Food, including burgers and tortilla soup, were tasty and the service was exceptional. Never the need to request refills on drinks or bottomless soup.
