Islands Restaurant Vista

Very good burgers, salads and beer. They were abke to accommodate our party of 9 quickly. Went back today for lunch, equally as good

The food lacked flavor, the waitress was nice but didn't come around that much and it wasn't very busy. The place looks cool.

Manager comped my meal because it's my first time eating in a restaurant in 3 years. Plus when I was pregnant 21 years ago I went to the Islands in Carlsbad. Nice guy

Guess I was really just disappointed as I had high expectations per the positive reviews this restaurant had. Overall, didn't enjoy my time here. The staff seem kind enough but don't express professionalism showing they've been trained properly in the field. Wasn't welcomed when walking in, nor told thanks for coming when we left. Also, we ordered beer and the first one was off in flavor and even color. We were given complimentary replacements, but even those just didn't taste right either. Don't recommend ordering draft beer here, especially if you know how it's supposed to taste. Reason, it's not 1star rating is because the food was tasty and our waiter was kind and helpful throughout the night and he'd personally get 5 stars (meanwhile I'd give the hostess 2 stars per my mention earlier of not being welcomed). Not sure if I'd want to bring my family here again.

The service is wonderful! I worked at a senior community and we brought 12 people to eat here today and sense we walk in the door the service has been incredible. The hostess opened the door and help sit the residents. The waitress was very kind and speedy with the service. The place felt very joyful and everyone loved the food. All way around everything was perfect which made there day 10 times better.

Best chocolate shake you can find? Also good quality burgers and endless fries. Can’t beat that

Always have great service and food. When there is a problem they handle it very professionally and make you feel valued

If I could give 0 stars I would horrible service fries were cold carrots looked old waited 45 minutes for food to come out & not everyone's food came out at the same time we had to flag our waiter down for refills

If i could give it 0 stars i would. Terrible service took almost an hr to bring out our food, my fries were cold and hard, carrots were all old and going bad.waitress kept walking right past us and would even offer a refill or anything.worse experience ever

My trip was fantastic! Both the hostess and the waiter had a great sense of humor. My order was wonderful and executed perfectly.

This was the worse experience I have had in a long time. We had a new server being trained. (Nothing wrong with that at all) we ordered drinks and appetizers first, our drinks were brought and she took our order with the trainer there with her. We waited 30 mins for our appetizers which were island nachos and cheese fries. Nothing extreme to make. We finally got our appetizers and we were enjoying them and then all of a sudden pur food came. Tell me what's wrong with that picture. The manager on duty brought our food and was like wow you only just gor your appetizers. But I knew if they brought our food back it would havw just sat in the window getting gross. So we took our entrée and now our table is just full or dirty places napkins, ect. The manager on duty comp our appetizers. Which was totally great cause we wanted to enjoy apps before entrée. Our waitress came to the table when eveeything was getting dropped off and asked how our food was. How were ww suppose to know when we were still trying to eat our first round. She rolled her eyes ans had attitude and never came back. We needed more drinks, more ranch, box for our food. It took her 40 mins to come back. The hamburger was gross wouldn't get the longboard again. Dry and flavorless. Fries got cold and soggy. We wanted to talk to the manager we told our girl to get him, but he never came. We paid for our meal, which was 75$ you would think k that we could have atleast got okay service. The trainer was horrible if she was letting the trainee not going back to tables refill asking if we need anything. I would not recommend this place to anyone. And I would not come back. Our whole meal should have been comp.
Horrible experience

I hadn't eaten at Islands in years, I always loved the food here. And ate here once again and still love their food! Thanks for never failing me.

I really enjoy going to Islands, they have good burgers and I love their cheesy fries-they're always fresh and hot when delivered to the table and it's the best with the ranch dressing! Also shout out to our very sweet and accomodating waitress Tiffany and the manager Brandon. Brandon came to our table a few times, to ensure that our experience was prime, and we really enjoyed chatting it up with him and Tiffany as well. Just wanted to say Thank You Islands Team! I will be returning.

Teriyaki chicken sandwich and teriyaki chicken tacos are the only two things I have ever ordered because they are delicious!

Great customer service, very attentive and helpful. Very delicious food menu. Their chili is to die for, yummy nachos, great salads. Very happy.
