Stopped at Banyan Tree for breakfast while visiting family in Belle Glade and ordered the French toast with a side of pork chops. The dining room was already pretty full when we arrived, but the hostess kept things moving and got us seated faster than expected. The French toast was soft without being soggy, and the pork chops were cooked well with good seasoning. Coffee refills came quickly, which honestly made the wait for food feel shorter. Our server stayed friendly through the whole meal even with several large tables nearby needing attention. The restaurant had a comfortable local feel where people seemed to know each other, and the atmosphere stayed relaxed the entire time. read more

Excellent for a good ole fashioned breakfast, lunch or early dinner. This place has been in the Glades area as far back as I can remember, serving great food. The new owner is Shante, who took over from her father Nathaniel. Both are great cooks. If you love some good fried cornbread. The Banyan Tree is the spot for you. read more

The new location totally received much deserved face lift. The restaurant is simply beautiful accented with black and gold! If you know the Glades, very important. The food was simply delicious. Everything came out at the right temperature and seasoned well! Our server was kind, patient, and guided us to create the best plate possible. Kudos. read more

Banyan Tree - Breakfast platter with scrambled eggs, sausage patties, toast, and cheese grits. Sides of corned beef hash, and biscuits and gravy. - Soul Food Near Me - Belle Glade, Florida

I simply cannot say enough about Banyan Tree. This place is an absolute gem. We were passing through yesterday on a motorcycle trip and stopped in for breakfast. The staff were incredibly lovely, the pride in their work was evident in everything they served. The food was delicious. My one and only regret was that we couldn't stick around after our delicious breakfast and have an authentic soul food lunch. Because I knew it would be so good! Please, if you are in the area, stop it. It is so worth it. read more

Very nice breakfast spot. Our table ordered a variety off of the menu. I ordered the shrimp and grits with a toasted croissant. It was good and a hefty portion that I was not able to finish. The server attending to us, as well as others in the restaurant were very pleasant. The cost of the food deserves FIVE stars alone considering the amount of food you get for the price. The vibe was great with a nice essence for this to be a small town. The restrooms even had a nice feel and I hate visiting restrooms. read more

Today the grits was gummy. It wasn't cook all the way through so I spent most of my time spitting out the uncooked grits.

Not the biggest most amazing plate in the world but enough to feel satisfied and that's the only important thing. read more

The Banyan Tree restaurant is a great little bistro style restaurant with excellent soul food off the beaten path. Just a few miles off of Florida State Rd. 27, in Belle Glade, Florida. Lots of menu options with breakfast and brunch. The meatloaf was flavorful and made with passion. The French toast was sweet and rich with fresh strawberries. The servers were very friendly with bright smiles. If you're ever in the Belle Glade area, it's definitely worth checking out. read more

My colleagues enjoy dining here during the week, as well as doing lunch meetings. Great service with a smile and they check up on you routinely. Great country foods, like the meatloaf, wings, pork chops and the sides are slurpy. Not a buffet, and made to order...Mmmm read more

This was an great experience, I had a feeling this place was going to be spectacular, unfortunately the cook is in a rush to get the food out, once they got round to doing some work... But is there ever an excuse for clear raw egg whites on an over easy egg... I had the Fish, Grits and Eggs after the waitress suggested it. Other than the above, it was just good. The Corn beef hash was just heated, not crisped up when we asked for well done. Home fries were just fried potato cubes. Coffee was good! If I was in the area again, I will come back for their Soul food. I liked the place and the staff were lovely, except the incompetent breakfast Che... food preparer... Maybe it's just not a breakfast spot... but they have fried chicken wings at breakfast! read more

A small locals kind of place with a walk up window for to go orders as well as a full service diner. My husband had a pancake breakfast with scrambled eggs and bacon that he said was average if not good. I got the biscuits and gravy and that was excellent! The best I have had at a restaurant in years. There was actually sausage in it and seasoned perfectly. The service was friendly and efficient. The ambiance was dive/diner so if you are picky about that, you may miss out on some quality food and service. read more

Our favorite weekend breakfast place. Their breakfast is delicious. You have to try the cheese grits! The service is excellent and ambience very friendly. read more

This restaurant serves the best home cooked meals ever. They serve the best oxtail dinners and lemonade and sweet tea too. The costumer service is great and the space at this restaurant is too, because you can rent areas inside for different occasions. Try the food and the location, you won't be sorry you did. read more

I had asked where to go for a good lunch, was told to go Banyan Tree. So, I did and was really surprised by the staff and food. I ordered the chicken tenders and fries. Hot, tasty and good. Most definitely have lunch again and will try other food selections. read more

Our first experience at the Banyan Tree was very good. The restaurant was very busy during lunch. A nice mix of customers and the staff was very pleasant. The restaurant was very clean and orderly. The food is "soul food" with plenty of "soul" to heighten your taste buds. I have been eating soul food for over 25 years and this food definitely ranks high on my list! There are very few places in Belle Glade that have good food. The Banyan Tree is not one of those because it has great food. I highly recommend this restaurant and I will come back again the next time I am back in town! read more

Omg...best soul food I've had from a restaurant in a very long time. The service can be a little slow, but the food is well worth the wait. I usually get the chicken wings because they are so good. The mac n cheese is pretty good as well as the cabbage. read more

Banyan Tree - Fried chicken, mac n cheese, cabbage, and candied yams (not in the picture) - Soul Food Near Me - Belle Glade, Florida

I was introduced to the Banyan Tree while waiting for my car to be serviced in Belle Glade. I fell in love with the food from them on. I live in Orlando but living in the Keys while working on a project in that area. Whenever I'm heading back to either place I try to stop to pick up takeout. My favorite is the smothered chicken wings with Mac n Cheese and Greens! I've eaten inside the one time and take out 3 times since and have never been disappointed! I just wish I could move them to Orlando! read more

great place to eat , very clean very organized. the staff and women are very nice and they get things done they are the best . very good prices . thank you guys . i recommend banyan tree to everyone! read more

I am fed up with the customer service at this restaurant. If you ever call to place a pick up, the phone has poor connection and you can hardly hear the person on the line. In addition, it always loud, and some of the workers are very unprofessional to have side conversations while on the phone taking orders. When I have placed phone orders (which is rare since I can hardly ever get through), I am told my order will be ready in 15-20 minutes. Instead, it takes another 10-15 minutes more of waiting once I arrive. I'm not sure if this business is under new management or what, but I have vowed to never spend another dime at this business until the customer service, attentiveness and professionalism gets better from the workers. The food is great though...when someone picks up the phone. read more

Excellent down home soul food. The ox tail was excellent! The macaroni and cheese, collard greens, and candied yams were fantastic. Others said breakfast was always good. I would definitely go back. It was a little expensive for lunch but totally worth it! read more

Terrible. The sausage gravy is not made fresh. Mine was served ice cold and then they microwaved it in styrofoam. The staff was not friendly and they genuinely didn't care that I was having a bad experience. read more

The food is really good! My favorite is the meatloaf!!! Good soul food! You will need to take a nap afterwards...

The food is awesome....prepare to take food home. All the food is made to order so you will be getting fresh hot food. They have a variety of foods from fried to grilled. Great Soul food. Highly recommend this place and make sure you come on an empty stomach. read more
