Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

There's only one word to describe this establishment! Soggy fries, I can't stand soggy fries. The rest of the food is alright, but expensive for what you get.

First, the Place Smells like Sewage! And the Counter people were not very friendly and actually acted as IF they did not care if we ate there or Not! Have had the Burgers there in the Past and they have been decent.

Literally the worst burger I have ever had. Veggies were old and mushy and the patty was greasy and tasteless. They only gave me half an order of tater tots that were soggy and cold. You would be better off eating at McDonalds.

I recently visited Burger Island while on a business trip to Garland. The restaurant is a bit dated. I ordered the cheeseburger combo. The burger was ok, but the fries were under cooked to my liking. Not a bad place, but there are better options.

They aren’t the best but it’s something. If your near by why not give it a chance.. they are pretty good but nothing extraordinary. Burgers are all burgers. Not my favorite but it’ll do.

Simple little restaurant (NW Highway location), but has great burgers and fries! We got the lunch special, burger, fries, and a drink for $7.50. We search out burger places on Sundays and this one was a great find. The burgers are home style and the...fries have skin left on and just the right amount of seasoning.More

This is a dive with good burgers. Needs updating and kind of dirty but that is the definition of a dive. I would not drive along way to come here but if in the area it is a good burger and fresh cut fries. Don't...get the fried mushrooms. Not good.More

First, I LOVE this joint. Top choice for me is their Big Hawaiian burger, minus the dressing, of course. The only way they could improve upon it, in my opinion, is by adding a whole wheat or multi-grain bun option, AND switching to 100% fresh...jalapenos. They also have Sweet Potato fries, which I usually love, but I'm pretty certain theirs are frozen. Mine were over-cooked last time, as well, so maybe not the best choice. Overall, however, I have never had a bad meal, and will continue to return. I always try to take out-of-town guests here, too!More

I ordered the Junior Burger which is a good buy. It included a cheeseburger, fries and drink. This is adequate for this older person. If really starving, I get the regular burger. Great value and flavor. Granted the store is a hole-in-the-wall.

As I mentioned, burgers are just Okay in my opinion. (my biggest complaint is that I hate shredded wet iceberg lettuce on my burgers) however the burgers themselves are very customizable and they deliver to homes within a set radius. (call for details) Just depends...on what you want. if the lettuce thing doesn't bother you (It bugs me everywhere, even places like subway) then this place is defiantly worth try!More
