Islands Fine Burgers & Drinks, often just called Islands, is a fun restaurant chain. They are famous for their delicious burgers, fresh-cut fries, and special drinks.
Their restaurants look like a tropical island getaway! They are decorated to feel like Hawaii, bringing to mind the idea of "ohana." Ohana is a Hawaiian word that means family, including friends and community. Even though they are known for burgers and fries, Islands also serves other tasty meals. These include tacos, chicken sandwiches, and different kinds of salads.
