| - I always think it's a bit silly to review chain restaurants because you almost always know exactly what you're getting. A Chili's in New Jersey tastes exactly like the Chili's in San Fran.
Island's is a little bit of an exception though. While there are a ton in SoCal where I'm from, this is the only location out here in Vegas. For that reason, I think they deserve some recognition.
So their burgers are radical, bro. Big Wave w/ cheddar cheese for the big kahuna over here. I always appreciate the option of having a wheat bun as well. They also have KILLER tortilla soup. I always sub that instead of fries. Which, BTW, fries are single handedly the most overrated side dish in the world, maybe universe. I also recommend the chips & salsa as a starter. First, unlimited refills, ammaright? Second, they are really good. Just like Chili's actually, if you're a fan of theirs. Islands also has Cherry Coke, how sweet is that? Super sweet, bruh.
Big fan of all the surfing videos they show throughout the restaurant too.
My one complaint would be the price. It's definitely on the higher side for burgers. Then again, it's a chain, you get cool ambiance, and the food is almost always great. Probably worth a few more bucks.
I wish there was a location closer to me. I have to schlep all the way to Summerlin to get my Islands fix, which sucks. I don't like Summerlin. So build another one that's closer to me, please.
Mahalo!
