I had a good experience here. They have a gluten-free menu and the staff and management are aware of the issues with celiac disease and cross-contamination. They reassured me that they would cook my food on a separate cooking area with clean gloves and fresh foil, and the food didn't affect me at all. :)

Awesome! Fries were gluten free and unlimited which was nice because it's hard to find gluten free fries where I'm from. Also, I got a burger, wrapped in lettuce and it had good flavor.

Server confirmed they have separate fryers for their French fries and are not cooked in the same oil as the onion rings, fish, and breaded chicken. Beef patties are cooked on their own grill top. We requested a GF bun. However, they mentioned buns are cooked on the same grill top. We opted to get the GF bun off the grill due to celiac.

Their French fries are made in a dedicated gf fryer!! It’s the little things.

Decent burgers, can choose a gf bun or wrap in lettuce. And fries!

I want to try the tacos some time. Will still get fries.

Their gf alcoholic drink selection is a bit wanting. Wine or hard mixed drinks - no seltzers or ciders. But they have gf fries, and that goes a long way.

Did I mention that they have safe fries? They have fries!

Islands is a great spot. Simple menu, burgers and fries. Separate frier…knowledgeable staff. Felt safe and kids did not get sick.
