Islands - Sherman Oaks

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 we had a very wonderful stay talking and eating. Oh and we had drinks and he added a complimentary warm brownie and vanilla ice cream for dessert. Fantastic.

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, we were 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. My fiancée 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 they kept saying they'll get out waitress for me but it took like 4 tries talking to different people. Not sure if it was due to short staff or something else but that was the only issues I experience here.

We stopped by this restaurant on our way from Los Angeles to Monterrey. The parking in the back conveniently led us right to the entrance. The staff was friendly and the food was delicious.

The Islands Restaurant in Sherman Oaks on Ventura Boulevard is a delicious spot for a quick meal accompanied by a beer. The menu features island-inspired dishes like the Shorebird (a chicken breast sandwich with tomato, lettuce, and pickles) and burgers with surf-themed names like the Longboarder with 1000 Island Dressing or the Pipeline with chili and cheddar cheese. The Tortilla Soup is exceptional and a personal favorite. Unfortunately, sides are no longer included with meals, so fries come at an additional cost. Parking on the street may be limited, but there is a parking garage in the back. The service has always been friendly and prompt, with attentive check-ins from the staff. The restaurant offers a range of dessert options, including Chocolate Lava and Kona Pie. There are multiple TVs for sports viewing, a welcoming bar area with seating and screens, and an outdoor dining patio with a pleasant breeze. Overall, the food may be standard "bar type" fare, but it's tasty enough to warrant a return visit to the Islands Restaurant. 4 stars.

The restaurant offers impossible burgers and I particularly enjoy their fries. Islands always exceeds expectations. Free parking is available in the garage lot behind the restaurant.
