Islands Fine Burgers & Drinks (also known as Islands) is a casual dining restaurant chain that specializes in hamburgers and specialty drinks, with a tropical theme. The company is based in Carlsbad, California.

It was founded in 1982 by entrepreneur Tony DeGrazier in West Los Angeles and currently has more than 60 locations in California, Colorado, Arizona, Nevada, and Hawaii.

Theme
Islands locations are modeled to reflect a tropical Hawaiian atmosphere. Sections of the restaurants such as host stands and bars resemble grass-covered huts, tiki elements are hung in various rooms, tables have surfboard designs, and fake tropical birds as well as real and fake plants are scattered throughout each restaurant. Menu items are named after Hawaiian locations, landmarks, and and elements, such as the Maui and Kilaeua burgers, Tiki Tenders, and Chocolate Lava.

Uniform
Until 2007, the uniform for regular Islands employees was an ironed Hawaiian shirt and shorts.
