This is my go to for over 20 years I absolutely love this place. The oven jerk and grilled are the best. The pasta is the best in the city. The oxtails also top tier. Service is always welcoming and helpful. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Always a great vibe.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

My new favorite spot to get my oxtails. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Chill atmosphere, calm cool prompt service, and absolutely delicious foods.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Greeted promptlyand warmly. This is my new go to restaurant for awesome carribbean comfort food. I always get the large oxtail plate - they give you your money's worth and they aren't stingy with the portions. The food is seasoned well. The sides are delicious too - rice and pease, cabbage and plantains. I've been at least 3 times. read more

Came in for a jerk chicken plate . The portion size was really good for the price , especially compared to the other competitors in the area. The chicken did fall off of the bone but it was a bit bland & didn't taste grilled which is a personal preference for me . The service was good , the person upfront taking the orders was kind and [[HIGHLIGHT]]the inside is cute with seating and a bar for those who decide to dine[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] , however I likely would not return because of the flavor . The chicken, rice, and plantain all lacked flavor but maybe other menu options taste better. read more

I love Banana Tree, so much! I'm a regular, I haven't had a bad experience YET! Today, I called my order in and they were very accommodating and nice as always. I ordered the Veggie Pasta and I asked for them to make it spicy. Upon arrival, Jr. knew my order and came right out with it. [[HIGHLIGHT]]They were playing the best Carribean music, I almost didn't want to leave.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] However, the pasta tho??? It's loaded with veggies and it's so much food, my husband I can both eat on this (lucky for me, he's at work so he doesn't get any of this delicious pasta lol). The pasta is so good and I definitely will order again, no questions asked! read more

The food is amazing and I love the jerk chicken pasta!!! The curry and fresh plus the service is good.

Easily my family's favorite Jamaican restaurant since we moved back to the ATL area! My husband is from Jamaica, and he tends to always suggest Banana Tree when we don't feel like cooking and are in the mood for familiar Caribbean flavours. Our go-to dishes for takeout are: - Jerk Chicken w/ rice & peas - Curried Chicken w/ white rice - Stew Chicken w/ rice & peas - Saltfish w/ butter beans & white rice All of the above are always served fresh, hot, and are well-seasoned. Plus, the pricing is VERY REASONABLE for the amount of food that you get. You also get veggies and plantain on the side. We've enjoyed Banana Tree so much that we recently got a catering order for my son's bday party where we ordered a pan of jerk chicken and a pan of rice & peas. Everyone at the party enjoyed the food and remarked that they'd soon be visiting Banana Tree! My ONLY gripe with this spot is that they haven't transitioned to better food packaging. The orders are always packed in styrofoam which is notoriously unhealthy as chemicals leech into the food, and the sauces tend to leak through if you aren't super careful on the drive home. i'm VERY health conscious and while i prefer to support small, Black-owned businesses, it's getting more difficult for me to rationalize feeding my family food that's been packed in styrofoam. Overall, if you're looking for Caribbean food cooked with love, Banana Tree is a great place to get your fix! read more

Banana Tree is a Jamaican restaurant that serves great food. Their curry goat roti was so good that I shared it with my daughter. We ordered a side of their cabbage and plantain. We also had a the oxtail meal and the jerk chicken pasta. They were both good. The jerk chicken pasta could feed 4 and we wound up having leftovers. I have made trips just to enjoy their meals. Definitely a great restaurant. read more

Ordered a large oxtail plate thru uber eats and when I opened I noticed the oxtails looked a little different, I ate them and said this looks like neck bones! I've been eating oxtails for a very long time and I'm from Ny to truly enjoy this restaurant I've been eating here since I moved down here in 2009 and I was very disappointed ! read more

Excellent food. We ordered oxtail and was very pleased with the portion. I believe the oxtail could have been bigger and more tender from the bone but I enjoyed them very much. The environment is authentic and the waiter was fairly patient. I will return soon. read more

Unprofessional. I from this restaurant on Uber Eats and, no surprise, they did not have the food. They told the driver that I had canceled the order. The order was still showing in process on Uber Eats and I had not received any message from the restaurant. The driver put the restaurant employee on the phone who, caught in a lie, stated that they canceled the order because they were out of curry chicken. I asked if they canceled the entire order because that wasn't the only thing I ordered. He kept repeating about having to cancel the order and then hung up on me. Now, I'm still without my food and my money because they did not cancel the order! It showed still in progress on Uber and another driver picked it up. I had to call her to tell her it was canceled. However, she said she still had to go. She got there and the place was closed. Hopefully, I'll get my $40 back. Never again! Buyer beware. read more

Great food and staff. Authentic Jamaican food cooked to perfection. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Loved the music and with a great atmosphere.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

The food was bland. Not what I was expecting. The less seasoning, the more healthy? Maybe. But the lack of flavor is not what I had in mind when I googled "Jamaican Food Near Me." One star because the plantain was good. read more

I had the Stewed Chicken with rice and peas, a patty and a Ting. Only take out. Everything was delicious!

As an actual Jamaican born and raised, the food at Banana Tree in no way represents Jamaican food. The best I can describe it is they use American seasoning to cover up bad cooking and call it jerk. On the plus side you can run a power plant off of how much sugar they put in their lemonade. I imagine their cook to order American style seafood dishes may not be bad, but I haven't tried it. read more

Ooooomgee why am I just finding out about this place !! . The food was sooo good and the price points were respectful.Thank you for keeping good food at a price people can afford and enjoy .

I been going here forever and they never disappointed me with the food the food feels like passion!

Food and service here are wonderful. Stopped in today to pick up a large order of oxtails and two small orders of curry goat and jerk chicken. The place was empty when I arrived so my order was promptly taken and prepared. I really like the folks that work here, especially the young man who takes orders and the cook, very nice people!! I just finished my jerk chicken and it was well seasoned with the spice heat I expected (I love spicy food). The peas and rice were pretty good and the plantains were melt in my mouth delicious. The only reason I removed a star was they ran out of plantains (it's 7pm folks you can't run out of plantains). This meant I didn't get the mere 2 that come per order. I tried to order a side which is how I know they were out. Anywho my chicken was good and I like the staff so I will be back whenever I'm in the area. I'll let you know how good the oxtails and curry goat are when I get to them. read more

The food is always amazing and the customer service is hands down one of the best I've ever experienced. Just always happy and impressed.

Food is plentiful & so good! I ordered the fried shrimp for an appetizer to share, they were perfect! Then my entree was the jerk chicken, I ordered the large since I was starving. I now have food for 2 more meals! Prices were reasonable and I highly recommend this restaurant. read more

the only jamaican spot i go to! great food at reasonable prices. i've had the oxtail, stew chicken, patties, and pasta. and everything was on point. it is takeout only right now. sometimes they are short staffed during lunch/dinner rush, so plan accordingly! read more

Their Curried shrimp is amazing! I'm also a fan of the jerk shrimp pasta. The restaurant itself is a little old looking but the food is off the hook. Their food is full of flavor!!! read more

ate from banana tree yesterday, got my usual oxtails rice and peas cabbage and plantains. Everything was delicious except for the oxtails! The oxtails tasted like they had just been cooked and nothing but water, no seasoning nothing. Please don't let the quality of your food start getting bad. Because I have always raved about the oxtail meal from this establishment. Maybe yesterday it was just a bad day but I think I'm about done with banana tree at this point it cost too much for meal for it to taste as bad as it did. read more

I came her with a friend per his suggestion and it truly was a good experience! The patties were delicious! The beef and chicken was very well seasoned! The Sorrel was one of the best I've had in a long time! I highly recommend this place!!!! read more

This is my favorite Caribbean restaurant. It's Jamaican. Very plain. Its like walking into someone's daddy's basement, a very old school man cave. The food is en pointe!!! It's real it's filling. I go ther for the food so as long as the place is clean and reasonably priced it will always be my first choice. Oh and the music is pretty sweet too. read more

Banana Tree is a great Jamaican restaurant in terms of food. Needs to do a better job as far as customer service, but this is probably similar to most caribbean restaurants. I gave 3 stars because the food was the best when served fresh. I received old chicken two visits, but I really loved the grilled jerk chicken, jerk pork and curry chicken. Please note the jerk chicken and jerk pork is served only on friday and saturday. I'm sure they are missing big profits as a result. read more

Banana Tree exterior and interior will give you the thought that the food might not be that good because the restaurant has a very old feel to it. However, the food tasted like authentic Jamaican food. I enjoyed every bite. read more

Found myself in this area the other day and stopped in for lunch. The place is very in the cut and easy to pass... They have a great price on their lunch special (I think $5.25 or $5.95, between 11am and 2pm)-- comes with cabbage, rice and peas, small soda, and one piece of plantain. My sister told me they have great oxtail and jerk, I'm not a big oxtail fan and I'm VERY particular about my jerk chicken, so I opted for brown stew chicken to play it safe.... BAD IDEA. Their brown stew sauce is NOT brown stew sauce, it's some type bbq/hot sauce mix that you'd expect to get at a second rate buffet. So bad. And although the food was hot, the chicken was not fresh, it was clearly old chicken. The place is kind of like a hole in the wall, but the type of hole in the wall that could be your favorite place if the food was better. The cabbage was good though and rice and peas were too. But the cocoa bread wasn't the sweetest. At some point I'm sure I'll give them another chance, but for now it wasn't good. The lady up front was nice though. read more

I have frequented this restaurant on several occasions, and for some reason, there has always been something 'lacking' with regard to one item, or another. I had always held this as a 'difference' between the many West Indian restaurants in the area and their cooking styles. However, I have now realized what the distinct difference is....they apparently sell old food, and/or mix the old with the new. I have never been more disgusted, or felt so short-changed, as with this last visit to Banana Tree. I ordered the Jerk Chicken, and a second order of Oxtails. While the 'grilled' Jerk Chicken was good and fresh, the Oxtails, along with the rice and peas, and cabbage, had an almost sour smell to them. After further investigation, and tasting a bit of the food, it was obvious that some of the food was fresh, while the other was old, and on its way to being bad. There is nothing worse than smelling food that is about to sour, on your fork and about to be consumed. I am sorely disappointed, and because I don't know if they'll ever change this unhealthy practice of mixing food , I will NEVER patronize this establishment again. read more

My husband and I love to eat here whenever we get the chance. I've found that it's really hard to find good WI food here in Atlanta, especially since my expectations are really high (yes I'm WI). When you go, get the escoveitch fish, oxtail dinner w/ extra gravy or the jerk chicken. We've traveled a lot and have had the pleasure of eating WI food in various countries and I think its the best in Atlanta!! Hands down, exceptional food!!! Don't forget to try their sorrel... my favorite! read more
