Banana Boat was a lot of fun. We went to the bar, ate and drank. Their guacamole was so fresh and generous portions and delicious. The Cuban sandwich was also wonderful. The stirfry was the perfect portion and taste and so enjoyable. The beers were super cold. The Mojitos were top-notch. The bartenders were attentive. Highly recommend fun atmosphere with great ocean views.

Good atmosphere- right on the water with good selection of food options. Service was great— both accommodating and quick. Had various dishes ushers but enjoyed a shrimp scampi. Large portions and yummy.

Really love the atmosphere it being on the intercoastal. We went on a Sunday afternoon. Indoor seating was immediately available. We decided to wait 30 minutes for an outdoor/dock table. Well worth it though. Live band was pretty good too. The waiter was attentive and on point. Menu was pricey and the portions were okay. We get larger portions with better tasting food at Flannigan’s though. Nice place to take your out of town relatives.

We always have such a great time at Banana Boat Restaurant! The atmosphere is vibrant and welcoming, and the service is top-notch. The bartenders are absolutely amazing — friendly, attentive, and they really know how to mix a perfect drink. You can tell they take pride in what they do, and they make you feel right at home.
The food was just as impressive — fresh, flavorful, and beautifully prepared. Every bite was delicious, and the menu offers something for everyone. Whether you’re here for a casual bite, a few cocktails, or a full dining experience, Banana Boat delivers on every level.
I’ll definitely be coming back and recommending this spot to friends. Great drinks, great food, and great people — what more could you ask for?

I truly can say I could not find any negative things about this restaurant. From the greeter to our server, the service was exceptional and courteous. Our server Leslie was over the top. Her recommendations were spot on including the dessert. We both have the parmesan crusted Pompano fish (recommendation from Leslie) with the mushroom risotto topped topped with heritage tomatoes. For desert we had the banana coconut stacked creme pie. It had 3 layers of delicious, succulent, delightful, sinful (homemade on sight) pie. Atmosphere was delightful (please view the pics and video). This is our favorite place and will be back. Thanks for reading and be blessed today. Shalom

The atmosphere and ambience were absolutely lovely—warm, inviting, and perfect for a relaxed evening out. The decor and lighting created a beautiful setting. As for the food, it was just okay. Nothing stood out flavor-wise, and it didn’t quite meet expectations for the price. Overall, I’d come back for the vibe, but not necessarily for the food.

Definitely a nice spot to check out if you’re in Florida. They have a large selection to choose from and great service. I got the claim chowder and seafood crusted salmon. Also the key like aioli was insanely good and super unique. Sit out on the dock it’s a nice vibe.

What an amazing experience from start to finish! The seafood was incredibly fresh and perfectly prepared—you can truly taste the quality in every bite. Whether it was the fish or the shellfish, everything was full of flavor and cooked just right.
The view alone is worth the visit. Sitting there, enjoying great food with such a beautiful scenery, made the whole experience feel special and relaxing.
The customer service was outstanding, especially Guillermo, who went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect. He was friendly, attentive, and made us feel genuinely welcomed.
This place checks all the boxes: great seafood, stunning views, and top-tier service. Highly recommend and can’t wait to come back!

A great place for dining
You can’t beat the ambiance at Banana Boat. With its prime location on the Intracoastal Waterway, it truly feels like you’re dining right on the water. The views of boats cruising by and the stunning sunsets create a quintessential South Florida experience.

Beyond the great food, it’s the combination of the welcoming staff and the fabulous waterfront ambiance that makes Banana Boat a standout spot in Boynton Beach.
