Islands Restaurant The Market Place, Irvine

Great food, good drinks, and friendly service.

Awesome burgers and awesome service. Happy hour prices are very good.

Great food price is good burgers are tasty, tacos are surprisingly good for a primarily burger spot. At this location has a great somewhat outdoor spot with a fire pit table. Gets kinda warm but great. Seats approximately 8.

Came with my family on a Saturday afternoon. Although very busy, the staff was great and professional. Sat on the first table to the entrance. Our server Mikey stood out the most. Greeted us right away with a great smile and willingness to provide great service. He got our order, delivered our food, checked up on us constantly and was just a great guy. Very rare to find such good classic service with such a willingness to take care of his customers. He had a genuine smile and you knew he really cared about us and all his other customers. Don't lose this guy because he is the only reason we will come back. Now, In regards to the actual food. I ordered the basic burger and it was a little dry and kinda of disappointed that the meat was a little bit slimmer than the past. I get the shrinkflation thing but for $15. bucks kinda was a little upset. But again, Mikey made up for it, and will come back again for sure.

Excellent service, great atmosphere. This location even has a fire pit at one of the outside bar top tables. Great place to bring the whole family. Maui burger is the best. They even serve bowls, burritos and tacos,soups,salads, sandwiches.

Our favorite server is Amy! She is an absolute pleasure to see and is very helpful! I love their patio! So nice for lunch, happy hour or dinner! Amy is the best!

The best burger place in town .. the spot is perfect whether it’s formal or casual meeting .. the consistency in quality is mind blowing same great awesome medium burger every time I go there .. even the service was as good as the burgers .. an awesome experience every single time!

Have tried a number of different burgers on the menu and all have a distinct flavor profile. It's not just the same burger with different toppings. The onion rings and sweet potato fries were perfectly crispy and not greasy.

Love the food!
[Update 8/6/2022] Went there for lunch and were seated promptly, as always. Both my wife and my son ordered their favorite fish tacos and I ordered the Beachside bowl. It has fresh grilled pineapple, red bell peppers, snow peas, water chestnuts, red onion, broccoli & diced scallions. And it’s served over white rice. And I like that you can get both, the teriyaki or hoisin sauce on the side. You can order it with grilled chicken but I got the grilled fish, which is my favorite. And I had a strawberry lemonade and the refills kept on coming. Our waiter was on top of that. We usually go to their Orange location but this one is great too. Congratulations to them on celebrating 40 Years in business!

Super GF options. Best GF cheese burger bun I have had and sweet potato fries. Will be going back to try more. Server was extremely helpful and fun.

It's always a pleasure to eat there. See old friends and meet new ones. The food is good, and you can modify everything to make it your own.

3 of us, separate checks. I had the Beach Bowl. It was very good.
Service was very good although it was quite busy- a Saturday.

Food was great and service was excellent. Fries were very tasty. One of my kids had the Jr. Wave Cheeseburger and the other had the Jr. Tiki Tenders. They both enjoyed it a lot. I had the Big Wave burger with cheddar which was really good. Angus Patty was cooked with a little pink thru the middle which is how I prefer it anyways. The Kona Pie slice is huge and good for 4 people to share. Waitress provided spot-on service, didn't miss a beat, and was really great with my kids. The manager came to check on our visit and I noticed him taking food out to tables as well.
This is a the type of restaurant that I will continue to support with my business. This was my first time eating inside, prior orders were COVID pickup to go orders which were good as well.

Islands has always been a favorite of mine, since living in Orange County for so many years.

They've always provided good service and good tasty juicy burgers and their seasoned fries are delicious too.

Very rarely have I had a poor experience with their wait staff, and on my most recent visit it was the same good cheery friendly service as usual.

There was an incident that occurred with my food, but the restaurant's management handled it quickly and appropriately and I was happy!

It's too bad that there aren't any Island Restaurants closer to where I live now, because it is a bit of a treat to have such flavorful juicy familiar food, and it's a good treat!

Three of us went for happy hour. Each had a drink and an appetizer that we shared. Buffalo wings, artichoke dip, and fries. Good bar food. Not too crowded and not too loud, so we were able to talk.

I am a vegetarian and wasn't very fond of burgers in the US until I found this place. I absolutely love their veggie Hawaiian burger which has pineapple slices and teriyaki sauce.

Great experience in Tustin market location. Friendly staff and ambiance. Frozen margaritas the best I have had in a long time. Just a perfect mix not too sweet very refreshing. Our burger and fries we loved.

Really good burgers and beer with a great vibe. Whether dining Al fresco, in the bar or seated in the main dining area you will enjoy a good meal with a friendly staff.

Perfect place after a very day. Loved everything. Huli Huli chicken sandwich was the best.

Went in after we did a 5 k. Manager and staff were awesome. Food was great will recommend to anyone. Wish we got the managers and bartenders name they were awesome.
