    Friendly staff, very helpful. We popped in for a quick drink 🍻. The pizzas that was coming out for the other guests looked great. They have a Big pizza oven. Priced reasonably. Great location, steps from the harbor where the cruise ships 🚢⚓ dock. Place is located outside, in a courtyard surrounded by little shops and art. We enjoyed it. Cheers 🥂

    Very friendly staff and delicious food! We had cocktails and fresh calamari and we’ve visited for coffee every now and again whenever we’re in St John’s!

    Great food and drinks! This was my friend's and my first meal in Antigua on a girls' trip. The pizza had a really nice crust and the pizza had a good flavor. Highly recommend trying a cocktail as well if you eat here.

    Definitely not a five-star but definitely a solid 4. For the price and convenience can't beat it. Very diverse menu and the staff was super friendly. We didn't use it as we ate on location but they have a great delivery service also. Also ate at the location in the airport which was actually a little more upscale than the location in St John's.

    We have enjoyed our visit here a couple of times when coming to Antiga off a cruise ship. We love sitting where we are looking out to the courtyard. Pizza is great! And my husband enjoyed his chicken burger and yummy fries! We'll be back!

    I travel a lot for a living and it’s always nice to try home dishes at the local places. This place has very good tasting pizza. Good choices of drinks. Just don’t try to change anything to a set option because they don’t do it. However, you can make a pizza with whatever toppings you want 😳 Anyhow staff could be friendlier and more welcoming. Had to sit myself as the hostess looked at me standing at the entrance then looked away and continued her conversation with her co-worker. Customer service isn’t really big in the Caribbean.

    I had a calzone, so did my friend (different inside). Despite my clarifying for the waitress who ordered what she still gave us the wrong ones. It was pretty tasty once you were past the thick crust.

    Great place to have breakfast, lunch or diner. Amazing location and great staff. Went a few times during my 3 day stay at Antigua island.

    We were looking for some local food on our stop off. We got two recommendations to come here. Food was really good and the place looked nice. It's near the port so it's not a bad option.

    This place is a city staple, a beloved local spot known for great food and drinks. While it can get crowded, the wait times are both a positive and negative aspect, depending on who you ask. While pizza is the standout recommendation, there's a variety of other favorites on the menu to explore.

    Food (Pizza) was very good and a massive portion. Priced fairly. Took a very long time to get however. Waited about 90 mins for the food which while worth it in the end did take some joy out of it.

    Great restaurant with great food, drinks and prices. Visited twice whilst on my visit to antigua and really enjoyed my time here. Customer service was always exemplar and they have WiFi. Thank you for having us!

  • 3/5 Renise R. 1 year ago on Google
    Food was okay. However the wait time is the issue. In all the years that I have known Big Banana, this has always been a problem. There has to be a way that you can be more efficient in completing orders.

  • 2/5 Dave S. 1 year ago on Google
    Food is very decent and probably the best pizza north of the island I’ve tried but , yes it’s a but, the service is pretty awful! Not only that you feel sorry for the server who looks like she should have retired a few years ago and she’s working far too many tables. So order two drinks at a time and prepare for a wait.

  • 4/5 Graham H. 5 months ago on Google
    Quick stop for coffee only. The menu had pizza etc and is probably aimed at the cruise ship crowds. Despite that there was a good vibe to the place and the staff were super friendly.

  • 4/5 Narisa F. 1 year ago on Google
    The wait was over an hour. Other than I was pleased with the all American pizza. I like the fact that you can mix the pizza. Half American and half Mexican. The American was good. Not so happy with the Mexican.

  • 4/5 Reanna R. 1 year ago on Google
    Food has gone down hill slightly. This was deffo the place to be back in the day. Pizza doesn't taste the same anymore which is a shame. They have broadened their menu which may influence the change in taste of pizza which was once the popular dish. Lovely service from some of the women who have been there for 20+ years, others aren't so friendly.

  • 2/5 CB B. 8 months ago on Google
    The poor service from the kitchen over shadows everything about the restaurant. The food is pretty good, but the time it takes to receive the food from the kitchen, a tour could be made around the island and back. They just do not know what it is to prepare a simple order in a timely manner. I sat waiting for a simple Berger for an hour and watched other clients leave without receiving their order I know that as a RESTURANT catering to locals and tourists better can be done, so please do that. That horrible service from the kitchen, overshadows the excellent service from the servers and the cashiers!

    Very well prepared, tasty delicious food. I will recommend and definitely will always eat at Big Banana. If I could give 10 stars I would

  • 1/5 Darin C. 4 years ago on Google
    My family and I were so disappointed. My sister only got this little thing of gravy and the fries were cold. Extra gravy was very cold. My brother in law got a way undercooked pizza. I ordered rice, veg with mahi mahi. The fish was way over cooked and dry. Took 10 extra minutes to get the rice they forgot. I will never go there again. If you found this helpful please click like. Cheers!!

    Had an afternoon coffee. Very good coffee. Bars, ice cream shops etc nearby. In the middle of a busy shopping township but yet isolated from the noise. Friendly staff.

  • 1/5 Taisha H. 1 year ago on Google
    Horrible service waited 3hrs and still didn't get food ordered. The food that was ready, was extremely cold! Do better big banana

    Worst pizza. Waited almost 2 hours for a personal pizza which I didn't enjoy. Flavour was good but crust was burnt and dry. I literally threw away 1/5. Fries were also cold. Great flavour but cold.
