2 stars for shrinkflation + 1 star because their burger is still good. (Edit: nevermind it was undercooked. -1 star)(Changed review because I realized my burger was super undercooked, like bright pink! ????)We used to dine in a lot, but with young kids we've been most able to do pickup orders the last couple years. We really like their burgers even though the charge a premium, but overall we are big fans of fries whenever we eat burgers. With to go, you don't get their bottomless fries, which is a bummer, but that also makes it a standout feature when it changes.A couple years ago they removed fries from being bundled with burgers, which was a bit of a snafu with to-go ordering. Then they brought it back so it was a little confusing on top of confusing. Even then, fries were in a separate box from burgers, so you got a decent portion even though they weren't bottomless. Then the fries started getting less... Then they moved to plastic containers combined with the burger, only the fries portion is TINY!! Shrinkflation hits here too!Maybe they would argue this is the cost of wages, but it is more disappointing to pay all the money and not get what what you used to get, without warning.

If you like spicy and pepper, the Kilauua Burger is one of the best I've ever had!

Islands offers a themed dining experience reminiscent of an Applebee's but with a tropical twist. Unfortunately, the food doesn't always hit the mark; the chicken sandwich I tried was dry, and the island bowl lacked flavor. On the positive side, some of the drinks are quite creative, though they do come at a higher price point. If you're considering a visit, you might find it worthwhile for the novelty of the drinks and the ambiance, but temper your expectations when it comes to the meals.
