I got the Maui burger on a gf bun for only 99¢ more, it was really good too, asking with the sweet potato fries. The regular fries are super crispy and delicious also. We also got the bottomless drinks and the passion fruit iced tea was really good and the smoked peach lemonade was the best!

I do wish everyone could get their own portion of fries instead of having four people sharing one since everyone has different preferences on things like salt and it also felt like a very small portion. We were asked if we wanted a refill but they were busy so we never received it, another issue that wouldn't happen if we had individual portions.

Just you wait until you try the NEW onion rings at Islands. About 4 weeks we brought the whole crew in for Happy Hour munchies and drinks (love those Mai Tais! . On top of pigging out on fries, sliders, wings etc, we decided to give the onion rings a try. Like the movie, they were GONE in 60 seconds. Cut to last night when I went to Islands in Carmel Mountain. Couldn 't wait to order the onion rings and told my friends to do the same. Blah!!!! Wha ' happened?? Now, it 's tonight and mom says she wants to head back Islands. Well, I ate there last night but what the hell. She orders the onion rings and I tell her how bad they were last night. They show up and BAM!! It 's those AWESOME onion rings again. Wha???!!! I ask Dannii our server what is the deal? Turns out this is a test store and we 're the lucky recipients of these fried rings of MAGIC. OK. So what else are you guys keeping from me? Turns out, I don 't care! As long as I have more onion rings. To the rest of the Islands world...just wait until you clamp your mouth on these bad boys. My wife has said forever that Islands is the best place for some hot fries and a frosty mug of beer. I love the tacos, burgers, salads etc too. But be sure to ask your local Islands when they are gonna get these new onion rings. You 'll thank me....and them. Thx Dannii!

The mate was a mighty sailing man, The skipper brave and sure. Five passengers set sail that day For a three hour tour, a three hour tour. The weather started getting rough, The tiny ship was tossed, If not for the courage of the fearless crew The Minnow would be lost, the Minnow would be lost.
