The main course, chicken breast, was very tasty seasoned, the side dishes were bland, it was served ketchup, the outdoor area I with real trees in the building Is special. In the evening, however, it is very dimly lit, so you can not see The food well. The service is friendly, But a bit disorganized I had to say several times that I want to pay by credit card and did he say I wanted the mango juice without ice and was served it with ice.

Stopped here to grab lunch during a cruise stop. Was a short 10 minute walk from our boat and I'm so glad we found this place. Alicia was our server and she was amazing! The pizza was SO good, some of the best we've ever had!! The servings are huge, we ordered a medium pizza for 2 of us and were stuffed by the end of our meal, had quite a few slices left over.

Came for dinner. Cocktail list was all juice bomb style tropical drinks, so we elected for local rum neat. Ordered pizza and a side of plantains. Pizza was pretty good. Plantains were chewy and tasted like cardboard. Service was fine. Overall, meh.

Was looking forward to getting lunch here after seeing reviews and following the Facebook page. Sadly didn’t live up to expectations. Slow service and after a long wait for food, the pizza wasn’t very nice. I also wanted a banana crush but they didn’t have any (given the restaurant name I would expect that to always be available). It appeared they were more interested in filling takeaway orders rather than looking after customers eating in the restaurant

If you're looking for a racist outlook to who you are and are actively wanting to be exploited for not being from Antigua-Barbuda then visit here. The incompetent staff try to put a Debit Card through the POS as Credit Card despite it clearly staying Debit so when this 'declines' they then advise they will put any Card through at USD at a low exchange rate so that they can profit. ONLY US$ American Cards should be processed in USD but all other non-US should be accepted in EC$. Not impressed with this overcharge antic and rudeness. To add further, website states FREE fries with Chicken Wings but these aren't honored as staff just state "website needs updating". Until they stop the racism and overcharging, please ALL tourists avoid allowing them to take advantage of our currency (which isn't USD$ - Racists!) and custom.

Went in to this restaurant on my break as I work on the cruise ships. Went in at 2 o’clock and said I needed to order quickly as I was on my break and needed to be back to work at 3.30. The lady said she’d come over. Waited 15 minutes. Placed my order and waited half an hour for drinks and by 3 o’clock still no sign of the food. Had to cancel the order and go back to work hungry. Very poor service and the staff didn’t even seem to care. It wasn’t busy either. Very bad.

We ordered calzone for two, asking the manager if there would be time as we had to collect our grandson from school. An hour later we were still waiting and had to leave. Waitress working hard- not her fault, just not enough staff! Nice place but we left hungry!

Went into St John's and strolled around market place were the cruise ships come in. Typical cruise port with all the vendors. Found this restaurant with the help of a local. Great pizza and wings. Service was a typical pizzeria in the states as for waiting. Atmosphere in he outside part was great. Highly recommend. Very reasonable price.

Absolutely cracking spot. Easy few minutes walk from the cruise ship dock, tucked away so not heaving with tourists! Really great stuff. Go for the BIG BANANA RUM COCKTAIL. have two and try to walk! Service great. Free WiFi. Go, sit, enjoy.

We ate at the airside Big Banana. I had seen the good reviews so I was hopeful but the pizza was pretty bad. I've had better pizza at chain pizza restaurants. They do have good gelato though. Try the rum raisin.

Visited the Big Banana as needed to find decent wifi to receive a call. The premises appear to be part of national franchise chain and are clean and modern, in a town of poor looking buildings. We ordered some drinks and connected easily to the wifi which was very good.

VERY good pizza! Our server, Brenda, was excellent. The 16” All American was delicious. It took almost an hour but it was well worth the wait!
