I cannot recommend enough this little gem of a restaurant. Although the decor may not be 5 stars, the food definitely is. I would compare the burger at Island Burger to the finest...

Worst

Taste in burgers, of course, is very subjective. But for me, IB&S didn't do it. I agree with the writers below who said the burgers are too dry. Additionally, they lack flavor....

Island Burger & Shakes 3/10/2006

I know where my bathing suit body went - it was left on Ninth Avenue after one too many black & whites. They are the crowning glory of Island Burger for me. As far as food is concerned, you can order just about anything you can think of and they will put it on top of a burger or grilled chicken breast (called a churrasco) - there is a menu of suggestions options, but you can just build your own. No fries (they thought about putting in a fryer and it just didn't pan out). Not the quickest service, but great food. The chili is SUPER HOT. You will want lots of chips and water with it. The salads are great (and LARGE). Not my favorite cup of guacamole, but it will do in a pinch. They deliver. CASH ONLY across the boards. more

Determined to master menu 12/7/2005

I'm determined to get it right here, even if I have to go back 100 times. This is by far the biggest menu I've seen with variations of pretty much the same thing: hamburger and chicken sandwich. You can get them blackened, Thai, Italian, Mexican and many more ways. I ate here once and had a great tasting chicken sandwich; well cooked and very flavorful, but picked the wrong bread so ended up eating it fork and knife style. Prices are very reasonable but be warned they don't take cash and they don't have fries, which can be disappointing if you're looking for a greasefest. This is a better place to find a quick, fairly healthy, and filling meal. more

Incredible burgers...alas no fries 8/31/2005

This is handsdown m favorite place to get burgers in the city. The burgers are large and juicy and you can get your choice of many ingredients. Try the Derby burger which has bacon, bleu cheese, and fresh avocados. You won't be disappointed! Their black and white milkshake is great with the burger. The only downside is that there are no fries on their menu. more

Splendid food, fairly cheap 7/30/2005

Island Burgers has really good burgers. Or so I've heard. I always get the chicken sandwiches (they have like 50 varieties) which are AMAZING. Also huge. And dont' forget about the Shakes part of Island Burgers & Shakes. They are also brilliant. The food is excellent and the prices are great. The only possible negative is the atmosphere. It's a teensy place and always looks a little dingy. I'm also not SURE if it has air conditioning, so you may not want to go there on a hot summer day. more
