    Banana smoothie
    Stephanie G.

    I tried out a banana smoothie because it seemed appropriate given the company name, and that was satisfactory. It was a decent price and had a not too sweet but still obvious banana smoothie. I'd get one again. I was actually going to get a food item, but their menu pages scrolled really fast. Like I couldn't read one fully until another one would come up, and at some point I didn't want to keep standing their frantically trying to read and compare items. It would be a lot easier to see all the options at once. And they mispelled coffee as "coffe." For a business that has a few locations, the whole menu board seems very carelessly thrown together. There's street parking, but it can get busy. If I was already in the area, the smoothies were fine and I'd consider one again, but I feel like I'd have to study their online menu first to see what I wanted. There's some seating here and the service was quick, so it was okay.

    My boyfriend introduced me to Banana King years ago and since then I have had cravings for their empanadas and milk shakes. I love their beef empanadas and the cheese ones, I get random cravings for them at all hours so the fact that Banana King is open real late is a huge plus. The pink sauce ( I think its mayo & Catsup ) is the perfect addition to the crunchy exterior of the empanada. The store itself is pretty much a counter and a few tables and chairs, we usually just take our food to go or eat in the car depending on how busy they are.

    Paid cash!

    First time at a Banana King! Everyone I know has raved about it! From my first experience, I'm giving them three stars because maybe I don't know a good arepa when I have one! Otherwise, two stars would be generous! Ordered an arepa Cubana. I was the only person in the store and it took least 10 minutes before I got my food. My arepa was oily and topped with meat, which was much more like ropa vieja than roast pork, on top of a couple of slices of ham that looked like they came right out of a package! It was mushy and really salty! There was plenty to eat, but I didn't enjoy it. I'll try something else next time!

    Mixed platter so much food!!!!

    The chicken empanada is my favorite. But for the shake is to much sugar which I don't like.

    Service is poor, but food makes up for it. I recommend the arepa con pollo, buñuelo, and empanadas.

    Banana King is disgusting and they have gotten greedy over the years. They have jacked up prices for flavorless food.

Has classy but laid back style and energy. Staff are all very kind and service is definitely on point. Experience was great from beginning to the end. Of course the star of this show was the food. I got to try the special which was Ribeye grilled cheese sandwich on sourdough bread with house made gravy. It was amazing! Hat goes off to the chef, this was a great creation. Would try this again without a doubt. I also tried the Beef Rib Ragu pasta dish on their regular menu which was amazing as well. Looking forward to trying other items here on the menu. Can't forget I also ordered a cappuccino which was also delicious. Was not disappointed by anything during this entire experience. Great vibes, great staff, and great food!

The only thing they responded to was the bell coming from the kitchen. The menu was enticing. Lot of good things on it including the daily specials. I ordered the Arincini which was beautifully presented but were only mildly warmish with some cold spots mixed in. Disappointing. For entree I ordered the spaghetti alla carbonara. It was once again not served hot but was somewhat warmer than the arinicini but not by much. They could step up their game and brew their own ice tea instead of serving bottled ice tea. It's pretty easy to make ice teas with various flavors. Was a cute place, tables a little close together but was clean, nice lighting and decor. As a customer I would have expected more attention to our glasses, check on how the food was occasionally.

After my first visit, I can say the tongue-in-cheek spirit of Vinnie Mootz's signage carries right through the front door and into its lineup of "SANGWEECHES." I ordered "The Nicky Mootz" -- cutlet, bacon, hot sauce, and fresh mootz -- and enjoyed it immensely in the friendly, medium-sized dining room. The pizza, which I plan to try on a future visit, looked excellent, and the small assortment of hand-stretched mozzarellas is reason enough to stop back in the next time I'm passing through. It's a Jersey sandwich -- excuse me, sangweech -- shop with all the charm, humor, and flavor you'd hope for the community!

Chicken Parmesan with vodka sauce (8.7/10) - Bread was toasty with a nice crunch. Vodka sauce was light and creamy, and the mozzarella was very fresh (lots of cheese pulls).

Italian Sub with the works 9.2/10 - Bread was very soft and gave a nice bite to the sandwich. They were very generous with the meats, cheese, and fixings.
