Reviews for Islands Restaurant Palm Desert in Palm Desert, CA
My absolute go-to restaurant! If ever I'm in a quandary on "where to eat today", Islands is always the first place that comes to... mind. Impeccable consistency and absolutely delicious.. and quite healthfully prepared and with quality ingredients, as well. Read more
Perfect night out for a burger! Their service is "Top Notch" at this location. I ordered the Kilauea Burger, the patty has a... peppery spice to it that adds great flavor. The sauce they use is sweet and pairs perfect with the patty and crispy onions.Don't miss out on the Cheese Fries, they are very cheesy and crispy. Dinner here was just perfect! Read more
Food was good. But they never served our appetizer.. Server was lacking. No refills on drinks. And then we had to wait an... extended time to get the bill. And then after that, we had to have the bill adjusted. They had to remove the charge for theappetizer that never arrived. Good times. Read more
Clean location, attentive staff and tasty food but charging extra for fries just leaves me with a bitter taste. I used to live... a couple of miles away from another Islands a few years ago and it was our go-to place for family comfort food. Kids loved thetenders, I loved the beers and the bottomless fries flowed in abundance; consequently the beers tended to flow too and all wasright with the world. Moved to this area and stopped in here recently to get some comfort food. I was a bit shocked to hear ofthis nickel & dime strategy of not including fries with the burgers. What a terrible idea. I ordered extra fries with ourmeal but it just doesn?t seem as tasty and the idea of having a few beers just didn?t seem appealing. Change this fries policyand I?ll gladly be back. Until then, I?ll be having brews and food at the Yardhouse up the road. Read more
Not much to choose from on the menu, the fish tacos were over fried the batter was almost burnt, the server never checked on us... after we had drank all our teas and soda, no sugar was given to me till I asked later by the time the waiter came back around,not sure if he was new. the Mint was so old he just threw the long strand stick in our teas as is, the sweet potato fries weregood the burger and sliders were good, the green bean fries were good the experience was not a good one it was a first time formy brother so sadly he said he?ll never go back. I think a little more attentiveness and perkiness would of went a longer way. Ididn?t complain I just paid and got out. Just not satisfied. ???????? if ur there for a burger play it safe with that.

With the beach theme, it sort of reminded me of a really low end Tommy Bahamas. Having said that, the service was excellent -... really friendly, helpful and attentive - took care over the allergy questions. The Tortilla Soup was really good (according topicky 12 year old), but the Sleek Greek salad and Island Fish Tacos were not. Side of fries was cold, but then server broughtanother without us asking, which was nice. Liked the way I could pay by mobile. Not expensive. Read more
I went there around 3 pm on a Sunday and the place was filled but no wait so it was great service and delicious food and it is a... clean and safe environment. On the photos surf and turf theme and the meals are Luau tacos, chicken burger w/fries, and tortillasoup all very delicious. I will definitely return and recommend to others. Read more
