We went here for lunch the food was good, the chicken sald with mango chuntney was good the burger was good as well. The drinks are a little steep. The atmosphere was nice. I felt it was the americanized local. It isn't anything spectacular but with the limited options in the area it was good place to go...and pretty standard. more

I recently enjoyed my first luncheon at Bananas since they reopened for the 2009-10 season. The first thing that I noticed were the bright red (obviously Italian) chairs, they are both stylish and comfortable. The whole place has been spruced up and there are lively and wonderful new murals on the walls. I had a cup of gazpacho to start... more

For many years I have been visiting the island of Vieques and have eaten at most restaurants. Bananas is a classic open bar/restaurant where one can have a casual meal and enjoy the sights for free. Be it, what is happening on the Malacon across the street with the vendors or locals riding their horses up and down the street,... more

We sat down for some dinner & drinks, the waitress gave us menus then told us she was leaving cause her shift was over and someone else would be right with us, 20 minutes later still nothing. We finally got up and started to leave and an older man (maybe the owner) asked us what was wrong, so we explained... more

I unfortunately chose to have dinner at Bananas while in Vieques in June. It was awful. They had only one person on the floor who was both serving tables and tending the bar. She could not keep up. The food was mediocre and poorly prepared and yet it cost as much as a good meal in other restaurants nearby. They... more

After several days of eating nothing but the fried stuff they sell at the roadside places in PR, I was excited by the prospect of better options. Our party ordered burgers, fish and rice and beans. We told the waitress that we were in a little bit of a rush because we had a kayaking trip booked for later that... more

The great thing is there seems to be more competition the island these days and all the restaurants are getting much better. We love this little bar and we'll come back again, soon! more

I ordered a meal for exactly one thing and they didnt have it and replaced it with another element and mixed it in, without my consent. thay have salads, hamburgers, chicken, drinks, etc, Very loud enviroment. Upstairs the rest. is a hotel, (in el Malecon), great for people who dont sleep or care about loud music at midnight. more

I decided to have lunch at Bannanas Restaurant and ordered a hamburger which was delicious. However, I was sorely dissapointed when I ordered a pina colada. It was extremely watery and just tasted like water and rum. I politely asked the waitress to change or remix the drink because it didn't taste right, she told me that she was going... more

If you have never been to Bananas, make a trip there next time you are in Vieques! Awesome people, awesome food and great Pina Coladas! The atmosphere is laid back, so if you are used to fast food all the time, and live by the "I want it now!" mentality, this is not the place for you....neither is Vieques. To... more
