Yes, it's a chain. But the burgers, including the basic Big Wave, are beefy and satisfying at this, the original Islands in West L.A., and all the rest. And there's plenty of stuff to distract the kids: Polynesian-inspired masks on the walls, colorful wood parrots hanging overhead and surf videos on the TV monitors.
