  Can't believe I haven't reviewed them yet but I've been to 2 of their locations on several occasions and never once have they disappointed. I've had them deliver once and it was great! I read several reviews saying they don't deliver to places known for non-tipping and I can empathize with that 100% $5 is the min tip you should give a person who is willing to drive a few miles from where they are parked to go get your food!
  
  They may have driven 1/2 mile or 8 miles to get your food, then they have to wait in line, wait on the order, check the order for accuracy, go back in their car, fight more traffic and potholes only to get stiffed. I hope all you people that do this to these poor drivers just trying to stay above water in this economy and thrashing their poor cars get what you deserve. You see, the more you do it, the more they start remembering and after that your service slows down or drivers refuse to deliver your food anymore and I'm glad you got what you deserved.
  
  People that stiff or low-ball tips to these drivers have a special place in Hell for all of eternity and if you don't believe in Hell, believe in driver's memories because some of them are at "going postal" levels and might do something to your food and again, I'm glad it happened to you Scrooge McBiatch. May all you non-tipping jerks lose your job and be forced to deliver food for a living then maybe you'll develop some empathy for the human race in which you are part of so stop acting like a den of vipers.

  My visit was back on February 16, 2015 so I'm a tad behind on the review...
  
  I read about Burger Island about a month or two or more ago. I initially saw it when I first downloaded the GrubHub app. It was one of the few places that delivered and interested me as far as a new place to try. Unfortunately, I wasn't brave enough to try it with my first time using GrubHub.
  
  Recently, I was talking with a coworker about it and she was game to accompany me to try it during lunch today. When we arrived, it basically felt like a hole in the wall but one that is on a bustling street of a bazillion other restaurants serving all kinds of food. In fact, it's in a sort of strip shopping center type of location.
  
  Walking inside, there isn't much to brag about in regards to the interior. It's very basic. Olden-type of dining tables and chairs like you'd find in a Waffle House back in the 80s or some diner off a farm-to-market road. There's a sitting area separated from the order line and kitchen area. So, like I said, pretty basic.
  
  The cashier was very familiar with the menu offerings and called back to the kitchen our order as quickly as we ordered. We paid and sat down. About 7-10 minutes later, we had our burgers.
  
  What you see in the photo is the Guacamole Cheeseburger with Curly Fries (her order) and the Hawaiian Cheeseburger with Seasoned Fries (my order). I believe we both had sodas too.
  
  The curly fries ($2.49) were good but probably tasted just like any other place that sells similar ones like at Jack in the Box or Arby's but not as seasoned, if at all, as those places.
  
  The seasoned fries ($1.99) were okay. I think seasoned meant garlic salt and pepper. They weren't very crispy and not as tasty as McDonald's french fries. For me they were passable. If we go back, I'll just share the curly fries or stick with just a burger and soda.
  
  I didn't taste the guacamole cheeseburger ($7.99) but my coworker said it was good. Not better or worse than anywhere else, but it was good. It did seem to come with a good slather of guacamole. As described on the menu, "Loaded with guacamole, American cheese, Provolone cheese, mayo, lettuce, tomato, pickles, onions."
  
  The Hawaiian cheeseburger ($7.99) was good. It wasn't what I was expecting being called 'Hawaiian' but it tasted good. As described on the menu, "Pineapple, ham, Provolone cheese, American cheese, mayo, lettuce, tomato, pickles, onions."
  
  The main problem I had with the Hawaiian cheeseburger is the pineapple was not consistent throughout the burger. They use pineapple chunks like you would find on a pizza at Cici's versus pineapple slices. I think slice(s) would allow a piece of pineapple with every bite of the burger whereas the chunks were sporadic. Most of them fell out of the burger if you took bites of it vertically versus keeping it horizontal. Overall the flavor was good especially when I got a pineapple in my bite. If you don't get the pineapple, you don't get what they are calling 'Hawaiian' which means you are basically just eating a regular old cheeseburger with MLTPO.
  
  Again, I liked the burger. However, the location is not as convenient as other places for me that have just as good or better burgers and are closer to me. Some even have better prices for the same sized entree. I would recommend this place if you are in the area and want a burger different than a McDonald's, Wendy's or Jack in the Box. Otherwise, it's not worth the drive to dine in for me and, in my opinion, the GrubHub delivery fee is overpriced (no fault of Burger Island).

  Got the chicken fried steak and mushrooms. The chicken was decent but the mushrooms were over cooked with some being burnt. Maybe the burgers are better. The inside could use a remodel and frankly, kind of a dump. I'll come back to try a burger.

  I order the big Island burger, it was huge couldn't finish it. Burger meat was cook just right plus it was good, not sloppy at all. My mother had the chicken strips which were breaded, I mean breaded big time too crispy and toasty not enough chicken meat in them. Onion rings were delicious. The back dinning area was too cold, they need to replace their booth seats were all cover in black tape were they were torn up I guess from being old. Also the floors need be redone or some thing.

  This place on point! The food always comes out fresh and hot. Well seasoned, and great size and portions. Never a long wait. I usually stick to the bacon Cheeseburger as shown in the photos but friends have told me they're all pretty great. The staff is very nice and welcoming I really like the cashier I haven't caught her name yet but I am definitely already a regular so I'll learn. Go check them out if you're looking for a home style burger.
