Islands Fine Burgers & Drinks Restaurants
Islands Fine Burgers & Drinks (also known as Islands) is a casual dining restaurant chain that specializes in hamburgers and specialty drinks, fries that are made fresh every day, with a tropical theme.
The company was founded in September 1962 by entrepreneur Tony DeGrazier in West Los Angeles and currently has more than 50 locations in California, Arizona, Nevada and Hawaii.
Entrees such as tacos, chicken sandwiches, and multiple entree salads, are available, as well as appetizers, including cheddar fries, chips and salsa, spinach-artichoke dip, and a choice of two major desserts; a fudge brownie ice cream sundae known as the “Chocolate Lava,” and a coffee ice cream mud pie, “Kona Pie.” Islands is known for catering to the requests of its guests, and many changes to their menu have been made at customer suggestion. Examples include including a small order of Islands’ fries with any burger (or chicken or tuna sandwich), offering low-calorie entrees to promote lighter eating, and personal-sized desserts.
Company-wide, in their various foods and drinks, Islands peels, cuts and uses an astonishing 7,000 fresh pineapples a week.

Hawaiian Burgers
Hawaiian Burgers are a tantalizing fusion of flavors that transport your taste buds to the tropical paradise of Hawaii. These burgers feature a succulent beef patty, perfectly grilled to juicy perfection. What sets them apart is the harmonious combination of ingredients like sweet pineapple slices, which add a burst of tropical sweetness, creating a delightful contrast with the savory beef.
The addition of Swiss cheese contributes a creamy and nutty richness that complements the sweetness of the pineapple. To elevate the flavor profile even further, a generous drizzle of teriyaki sauce is applied, infusing the burger with a savory and slightly sweet umami essence that nods to Hawaiian culinary traditions. The teriyaki sauce not only imparts a distinct flavor but also adds a glossy glaze to the burger, enhancing its visual appeal.
Together, these elements create a symphony of tastes – the savory umami of the beef, the sweetness of pineapple, the creamy richness of Swiss cheese, and the flavorful teriyaki sauce. Hawaiian Burgers are a celebration of diverse flavors, making them a unique and unforgettable culinary experience that brings a touch of the tropics to your plate.

Course: Burgers, Dinner, Grilling Recipe, Lunch, Party Recipe

Keyword: Burgers, Islands Fine Burgers & Drinks, Pineapple
Yield: 2 Burgers
Ingredients
- 4 fresh Pineapple Slices
- 2 large Beef Patties
- Hamburger Seasoning (See Notes Below for a recipe and sources.)
- 2 slices Swiss Cheese
- 2 Hamburger Buns
- 3 tablespoons Mayonnaise
- 1 cup shredded Lettuce
- 2 slices White Onion

Instructions
Preheat grill to high.
Place pineapple slices, the beef patties and both halves of the buns on hot grill.
Season the burgers on the grill with the hamburger seasoning to lock in the flavor.
Remove the bun when it is toasted.
When ready, flip the pineapples and the burgers. Pineapples should cook a bit faster than the burgers.
As soon as you flip, place the Swiss cheese on the burgers. Top with the slices of pineapple as soon as the their 2nd side is cooked.
Remove burgers from grill when cook to your liking.
Place the bottom buns on a plate.
Spread with mayonnaise.
Add lettuce.
Add onions.
Add tomatoes.
Place burger/cheese/pineapple stacks on top of the tomatoes.
Spoon the teriyaki sauce over the top of all.
Top with the crown bun.
Serve hot.
NOTES
Hamburger Seasoning - Islands does NOT give out the recipe for -- nor do they sell -- their "secret seasoning." And even Alton cannot find a good recipe for it. We'll keep looking and try to concoct one ourselves. In the meantime, try Red Robin Seasoning Recipe or here are a few commercial brands you might try - Hamburger Seasonings.
