We had an amazing time at Banana deck - we had a group of 10 and came back two nights in a row. The red snapper curry with plantains was AMAZING, and the ribeye can’t be beat. The wait staff was the kindest, and Chris, the owner, was so sweet and hospitable. Overall, a 5 star experience, great food, and great location with the live music across the street. Thank you! Can’t wait to come back! Also - the banana desert was the bomb.

The Banana Deck combined top-notch food with a more low-key atmosphere in St. John. You can eat here and feel like you are getting quality food for the prices, which are steep all over the island, but still enjoy a tropical beach feel. We will eat here more than once during our stay!
Get dessert. Don't look at the price, just get it. To share!

I've heard about Banana Deck for several years and finally decided to give it a try... I'm not happy that I wanted so long because I could have been enjoying the food here during every visit to St. John. I would say definitely give it a try, you won't be disappointed. The steak and lobster 🦞 were a HIT.

Grilled Steak
The host was rude to us for no reason, seated us, and brought us bottled water without asking versus giving us an option. Kirkland bottles $3 per. Food was really overpriced and nothing special. Our server was fine. Used to love the place!

THIS DUMP DESERVES ZERO STARS. Avoid this place!! Ordered wings…OVERDONE. Ordered the Caribbean Lobster and Shrimp
Special at $80 and it was awful. Overcooked !! Waiter did not care a biit that I ate none of it. Just took the plate and walked away after recommending this awful meal. Given its cost, this is easily the WORST meal I’ve ever had at any restaurant in the world (and we travel a lot). Please save yourself the misery and visit the many other fine places on St. John but avoid this absolute hole in the wall.

9.5/5 stars!! Food is great and service is great!! This is the second time I ate here and it was better than the first which was 5/5! If you have a chance, the lobster and shrimp meal is absolutely amazing!!!
(sorry for the meal photo, we were halfway through the meal before we remembered to take a Pic... It was that good!! )
I have eaten at Banana Deck many times and I have always had such a positive experience. The staff are always friendly, welcoming and quick on their toes. The food is fairly priced, always delicious and consistent. Thank you!

Fun treehouse like setting.
Popular, so make a reservation for dinner or show up very early for seats at the bar.
The staff was awesome, great drinks and great atmosphere, view of the water through the treetops.
We had the grilled chicken sandwich and the fettuccine Alfredo w/shrimp.
The pasta was the best single dish we had all week.
Pricey, but worth it!
