This place is amazing. It's a fun atmosphere, great food and service. I have been here several times and each time is a treat! You'd think the burgers are just burgers, but not here, flavor and freshness are so good. I've also had their bowls, also amazing!

Tried for the first time a week ago. Yummy burgers I've also like the deep blue sea drink all the staff that I've enters with a very nice. Even the hosts and busers. Paul Palmer, Topanga and Suly are my favorites so far.

I’ve been going here for many years , Food is delicious , service excellent and a great vibe for all. I think they have been here from the beginning at Desert Ridge. Burgers are great, and the new protein bowls are so good!

Very nice atmosphere servers were very friendly. Hostess was very friendly and the food was great. We had a problem with the chicken. Being a little bit chilly and stringy. The manager came out said he was gonna order one himself and make sure that it was OK because their meat is all 100% fresh. So they gave us a different option. And my girl ordered that and we were happy with the taco. Something, but overall, very good. We go there from time to time. It's a little far from home. We live in Apache Junction and gold Canyon Arizona. So it's about a 45 minute ride across town.

I have been coming to this Islands since I was a kid. I have always had amazing service and kind servers. But this time I was in a big party with a lot of people. Carly handled it so well and was just so sweet/patient with us. Carly always came to check if we were doing well and everything came out good. Paul also helped us out delivering the food. It was quick. Also food is always amazing here!! Will forever love the Desert Ridge Islands!

After a long day at work, we treated ourselves to a satisfying meal. The burgers were fantastic, and the onion rings were perfectly crispy and hot. Great place
