Last week my family had the opportunity to review the Islands Long Beach Pike location (55 South Pine Avenue) for lunch. This was actually a few days before my birthday and the only reason I mention that fact is because the lunch was just like going out for my birthday! The service was the best! I don’t even think there are enough words to describe how amazing the service was! Our server (Kelli) was simply awesome! I can’t remember ever having better service in a restaurant! But, on to the the food! We started with an appetizer and I have to highly recommend the Spinach and Artichoke Dip!
It is really good! I think that I ate so much of it, that I couldn’t finish my Northshore Tacos. But, don’t worry! I brought the one I couldn’t eat home with me. My son loved the Island Fries and the basket was really big! He was also quite excited about the Unlimited Root Beer (although he could only finish one)! He gives Islands a “thumbs up!”
My husband tried the Hand Shaken Strawberry Daiquiri and was impressed but he was even more impressed with the Kilauea Burger and onion rings! Now, I also tried the Mangortita, which is a Frozen mango flavored Margarita..yum! It was a little strong but delicious! Now, back to the Tacos! I loved the Northshore Tacos! This is just the BEST place to go for lunch with the family. We were really impressed! I thought I wouldn’t have room for dessert but when I heard the words “Chocolate Lava“…well, I couldn’t resist and with my husbands help..I really did eat most of it…yes, it is THAT good! I thought I would be taking it home but it sure didn’t work out that way!
Islands also offers Summertime Happy Hour (Offering Stress Relief as their menu says!) Monday-Friday 3-7 pm in the bar. They offer a variety of appetizers such as Island Fries, Cheddar Fries, Beachside Sliders, Hawaiian Sliders and more! They also offer Drinks of course, such as the Hand Shaken Strawberry Daiquiri and Beach Margs and they have really great prices! We didn’t go to Happy Hour since Islands was so awesome by letting me bring my son to the review. But, my son did love the Island Fries!
Check out the menu!

Islands really is a great place for lunch or dinner with the family and for Happy Hour!
