Mr. K and I recently went to experience Beach Break Tuesdays at Islands and I’ve been given a opportunity to host a great giveaway package, including a $100 gift card to Islands. Details of all the giveaway items in the package is at the end of this post.
Islands has happy hour in the bar area every weekday, but on Tuesdays, they have a special Beach Break Tuesdays happy hour that starts at 4 and runs all night long. In addition to some super cheap cocktails and appetizers, what I really loved about my experience was the freebies! I love getting free stuff.
When we sat down, the tables were decorated with koozies and inside each one was a really nice metal keychain shaped like a sandal and it doubles as a bottle opener. There are a few different colors. After much contemplating, I went with the purple keychain and the green koozie.
In addition, while we were eating, employees passed out beach towels as well. So we went home with keychains, koozies, and beach towels. Horray for free stuff!
Of course there was cheap food and drink options too.
Chips & Salsa
Chips and salsa are free at the bar during happy hour. We opted to add the fresh made guacamole which costs an additional $2.45. The chips were warm and crunchy and we devoured the plate of chips and dip in a matter of minutes.
Poke
We had really enjoyed the poke on our last visit, so we got it again. It didn’t taste quite the same. This time there seemed to be a lot of black pepper added to it. I preferred the version we had last time but Mr. K preferred this one. He said it reminded him of spicy tuna rolls. I like that it’s served on fried wonton skins which have a lighter texture than tortilla chips.
Hawaiian Sliders
We had these previously and enjoyed them and I enjoyed them again this time as well. The patties were moist and I like the addition of grilled pineapples.
Mai Tai
Since it was Happy Hour, Mr. K also ordered a Mai Tai. There are five different cocktails available for reduced prices during Beach Break Tuesdays.
If you come between 4-7, you can enjoy the regular happy hour menu items in addition to the Beach Break Tuesday items, which really maximizes the discounted food and drink items.
Currently, Beach Break Tuesdays is offered every Tuesday in the bar area from 4 until close. The free keychains, koozies, and towels are while supplies last. Here is the Beach Break Tuesday menu:

That’s awesome that there’s so many freebies! gotta love free stuff. Those sliders look good too. Last time I went to Islands, they overcooked my burger 🙁 So a chance to redeem the islands name would be cool

I Liked the Facebook post. (My FB name is Healthy, Organic & Cheap).
Definitely love the freebies. Perfect place for a fast dinner.
Free towels?! I’ve never heard of such thing at a restaurant. Sounds amazing!
My husband, being a fan of Islands, would be very happy if we win this sweepstakes! The most appealing thing about the Beach Break Tuesday promotion would be a tie between the freebies and the sliders.
This prize sounds AMAZING 😀 I LOVE Islands!! I’m already following you on Twitter and I tweeted the link…The food sounds the most appealing, especially their sliders because they are the bomb!

Everything sounds great, and I wish I had heard of this earlier! I think the drinks and freebies are the best part.
I have been reading your blog for a couple of years and have tried several of the restaurants that you have reviewed. I’ve never been to Islands but I sure would like to try the Poke!
I would go with the freebies of course!
The Poke sounds super good. 🙂
you can never beat free stuff 🙂

The poke looks so good! I’ve never had fried wonton skins, unless fried wontons count, but they look delicious.

Sharing the food with friends and having a lot of different tasty treats.
Island just opened up a new store in our area,I’ve never tried it.
With freebies, discount food and drinks certainly will be a good excuse to check it out.
I love poke so that sounds amazing!

We have not visited Islands in awhile but the spicy tuna rolls look so yummy and healthy made with wontons that we can’t wait until next Tuesday.

After the type of week I’ve been having, a Mai Tai sounds DELICIOUS right now. And the price on Beach Break Tuesdays is definitely a great deal.
freebies! i would ditch the koozie, but go for the keychain and beach towel. also, the sliders look good. and i’d probably get the guac just cuz it’s so cheap.
Moscow mule and freebies of course 🙂

Freebies are always good! Seriously, I would try the poke. I’m always on the lookout for good poke outside of Hawaii.
