Island Grill

Great service, the selection of food is nice, and delicious! Good atmosphere, and nice music venue!

Sometimes you need a no frills place to grab a lunch margarita, order a meal you know exactly how it will taste, and a bartender that will recognize you even if you’re not a regular. Island Grill fits the bill on all accounts.
Only advice is to avoid the booth near the bathroom, I seem to always get sat there and it’s humorously wobbly.

Had a great experience at our first time stoping! Enjoyed the painted walls and the classic music. Today was 3 taco Tuesday and my mom really enjoyed their mango salsa. I had the big burrito with chicken, I had both the chipotle and green chili on the side. I preferred the green chili. A great place to stop and grab something to eat! Also enjoyed our server (:

Good fish tacos! Fun, funky atmosphere. Ol’ folks luv this place, so can get a wired vibe if you are under 30…

My husband and I are visiting from out of state. We came here with people we are out here visiting. The band Retro was playing and they were awesome! The issue we had was with the service. We were seated and after 30 minutes of employees just walking by and ignoring us, my husband had to track down the manager and ask him how the heck do we get service!!! He said he would send someone over right away. Once we talked to the manager, we had pretty good service but we shouldn’t have to go find the manager to get service. The food was pretty good. Overall the music and food were good but the service needs some work.

Drinks are always great. Food is good. Service really depends on who is working. This place is always great for live music and karaōke. Great safe place to go with family and friends in a town full of college kids

The best fish tacos in town!!! The wasabi sauce that they serve with them is terrific. They also have excellent ahi tuna and taco salads as well as a full, varied menu. The staff are always super friendly. We’ve been going to Island Grill since they opened more than 15 years ago and look forward to many more years of great food!

The service has been alright most of the time. The food is acceptable.
Tonight, I did curb side take out. They left out all the toppings for my baked potato. When I called to fix it, «Sam» offered to refund the $ 2.99 for the potato or have me drive 15 minutes back to get it. Neither option seemed acceptable. When you pay $ 50 for two meals, you expect them to get it right. I will not be going back.

Excellent food. Love that they are gluten free friendly. My only complaint is that their seafood does taste a little funny at times.

I promised myself that I would never write a negative Unilocal review. Unfortunately, the service I received here was so horrible that I have no choice. The bartender who’s «dad owns the restaurant» gives the worst service I have ever seen in my eight plus years in the industry.

They have about half a dozen items on their Sunday brunch menu, but we really came for the bloodies and waited till 11am for their lunch menu so we could order their blackened fish tacos. Super tasty!

I live very close to the island grill and was excited to try it. The first time we went, I had the chicken quesadilla. The chicken had no flavor and at one point I bit into a piece of chicken gristle that was so big it made me gag and completely lose my appetite so I didn’t eat any more of the quesadilla. I’ve been a server and if I were serving in a slow restaurant (it was by no means busy) and I saw a patron ate less than 25% of their food before being done and refused a togo box, I would at least inquire if everything had been ok. Our server didn’t seem to care and just brought us our check. I thought maybe it was just a bad day, maybe it was because I ordered a quesadilla at a place called island grill but I assumed it was a one time bad dining experience and was determined to give it a second chance. We went again and I got the pulled pork sandwich, as did my husband. As soon as he bit into it he said «does that taste bad to you?» So this time I knew it wasn’t just me. My husband is a garbage disposal for food who devours anything so for him to say something is bad, it has to be bad. It had the distinct taste of pulled pork that had been refrigerated and then microwaved, the onion rings we got were quite greasy and soggy. The food here is terrible– worse than Applebee’s or Chilis but comparibly priced. The only reason I give Island Grill 2 stars is because it’s not a bad place to walk over and have a beer on the patio as long as you don’t eat anything.

Original Fort Collins yummy. Sunday is kids eat free and 60 cent wings! The atmosphere is like jimmy Buffett fun and we always have fun here. Give the blackened mahi tacos a try, the fried pickles, and the burgers are some of the best in town. Service is great, prices are right, and it feels like your favorite bar!

Pricey for what comes across as a blue-​collar joint. You’d think they’d be importing truckloads of Corona and not need to charge $ 4.50 each. Always well stocked with dudebros. Worst bathroom layout I’ve ever seen: wangs become entangled if utilizing both urinals is attempted. Which is alright if you’ve just bonded at the bar discussing bitches and guns. It’s exactly what you’d expect from an island-​themed resto-​bar in middle America. Their quesadillas taste good, but so does every quesadilla ever made anywhere. I do applaud the lack of napkins at tables, clearly intended to start a conversation about wastefulness.

Ok The food is not bad at all and what I expected for bar food but the service is horrible. Had to flag down a server who ignored us over and over when we wanted to leave. We had been there for 2 hours so it’s not like we acted rushed for our check. She never checked on us after she brought our food which took over 30 minutes to get. Eventually got up and left.

This place has pretty legit key lime pie and the service was friendly and fast. The booths are a little bit broken down and the décor is a crappy attempt to be ocean and surf related but the food is pretty delicious with large portions. It does have a bar with drink specials etc. but the crowd that goes here for the social bar aspect is a little bit older so it’s not really a booty shaking atmosphere. It is still a cool place and super close to where I live so that’s a plus.

I honestly did not have high hopes for this place. It seemed too gimmicky. But, against my better judgment (and because it was after 9pm), I came here for a bite.
This place was much better than expected. Live music… and it was a good band, lots of space and the Chicken Poblano Melt was delicious!
With a name like Island Grill, I expected to see more island food, but there wasn’t too much of it. None the less, the burger I had was solid.
Stop by if you are in the neighborhood.

I’m not much for salads but I come over 30 miles for the salad here and it’s just the side salad. Some of the freshest ingredients ever. It even smells good when they bring it to your table.
The philly steak and cheese is fantastic! This sandwich with a side of fries and the salad is more then enough for one person. Couple that with some local brews and you have a phenomenal place for food and drink. Have to admit I don’t deviate much from the food I mentioned but when you find something this good why would you.
Great service tv’s everywhere, live bands, video games for the kids, salt water fish tank… man this place is just about perfect.

Second time here. Seem to have good prices and good food.
Mostly locals.
Fish tacos are their specialty. No complaints here.
Live bands on the weekend.

Are the people of Fort Collins mental? Have you ever eaten fish tacos before? This place sucks. This is the WORST place I’ve been to in FoCO and I’m pissed! Sat at the bar with a friend after work. Took four minutes to get our drink order. Another two to get our drinks. Bartender didn’t offer us menus. He wasn’t friendly and honestly he was kind of a dick. We ordered the «best fish tacos in town.» What a joke. Flour tortillas from Walmart. The cabbage slaw was about 90% of the taco. Maybe a tablespoon of measly fish. The guy gave us no napkins or silverware. To top if off he screws up the bill. How?! Two drinks and an order of fish tacos for one person! How do you screw that up? Oh the best part he charged me twice! And who charges $ 4 for a well single?! Are you kidding me? This ain’t a hotel! This place is a joke. It’s another beach bar in a strip mall. Shit I would’ve rather eaten Taco Bell than eat here. To those Unilocalers who raved about their fish tacos, go get your taste buds checked out. I think all that weed is going to your head.
