Reviews for Islands Restaurant Sherman Oaks in Sherman Oaks, CA

Food is great service was good. Had to have my burger remade came out in less than 3 minutes fries are always on point.

This place can be a hit or miss from time to time. My partner and I mostly just go for truffle fries to go (which are absolutely... amazing but cab sometimes be given to us cold for whatever reason when we order it in house. Having said that this location gaveus free drinks for the inconvenience the other day so we were pretty happy about that! Read more

Checked this place out for dinner with a friend and was not disappointed. I had the Kilauea burger medium rare. It was terrific.... The fries were hot and crispy. Try to avoid substitutions because they're a bit expensive. Also try to avoid super busy hours.The staff can become overwhelmed during the rush. Read more

Came here on our way out from LA to Monterrey. Parking in the back led directly to the restaurant. Friendly staff and fine food.

Our server was Tieler and he was excellent. The food was great and he made our visit so relaxing and pleasurable. I had the Moa... Crisp fried chicken sandwich and my friend, the birthday girl, had the blue cheese burger. Truffle fries topped it off and wehad a very wonderful stay talking and eating. Oh and we had drinks and he added a complimentary warm brownie and vanilla icecream for dessert. Fantastic. Read more

My first time having Islands I caught the Happy Hour. The Happy Hour menu was sad nothing to exciting on the menu. The food was... disappointing it was not made with love. It was made with laziness and hate. I order the Happy hour loaded nachos (no meat). Itwas loaded with lots of cheese that was melted, stiff, and cold. I had to search for the little to none refried beans buriedunder all that cheese. I really didn't want to cause a scene cause it would off been ugly. Honestly I can't get mad because it'shappy hour it's cheap so you get what you pay for. If you can't make a simple (no meat) loaded nachos thank God I did not buy afreaking mini sliders who knows how that would have been like. Read more

Their Chicken Club Wrap is amazing, that's my go to dish when coming here. The best thing about this Island's in this location... is that there a private parking lot in the back. It does fill up quick so the earlier you go the better. When we walked in, wewere greeted but it took like 10 minutes to get seated. When we got seated, there no menu so you have to scan the QR code. Myfiancée got their Shorebird sandwich with cheddar fries. Just as a note fries are an additional cost ... I didn't know that.During our dine in there, we had like 3 different waitresses. It became an issue when I wanted the check and box because theykept saying they'll get out waitress for me but it took like 4 tries talking to different people. Not sure if it was due toshort staff or something else but that was the only issues I experience here. Read more

Islands Restaurant in Sherman Oaks on Ventura Boulevard is a tasty place for a quick bite with a beer. The menu includes... "islander" favorites like the Shorebird (a chicken breast sandwich with tomato, lettuce and pickles). Hamburgers have surfnames like Longboarder which has 1000 Island Dressing or Pipeline which has chili and cheddar cheese. Their Tortilla Soup is thebomb. My absolute favorite here of all Tortilla Soups. Islands no longer offers a side with their meals so if you want fries,they are extra and a bigger portion, obviously. Parking on the street is limited but there is parking in the back in anattached parking garage. I have not had a hard time finding a parking spot yet, I hope I am not jinxed now for sayingso. Service here has always been friendly and quick. Tonight our table was checked on atleast five times. Our waiter offeredmenu selection ideas and dessert, Chocolate Lava or a Kona Pie. Sounds delicious! There are many t.v's for viewing sportingevents or the Olympics in our case. Nice, big screens. The bar is inviting also with seating and t.v. screens. There is anoutdoor dining patio in a loggia type setting visible to foot traffic. The breeze is nice. Four stars, because quite franklythe food is "bar type" food. Nothing really craveable but tasty enough to want to visit the "Island" again. Read more
