I will give them zero Stars if I was allowed to. I showed up to the establishment to pick up an Uber eats order. There was a Spanish lady who stated that she gave my order away to somebody else she also informed me that she did not check the ticket in which the person came and picked up the order I showed her my ticket for the order that I was supposed to pick up I showed her the name I even showed her the order she said that she would not make another order due to her mistake she was laughing the whole time. I asked to speak to her manager of course she said the manager was not there I asked her if she can cancel the order for the person that she gave it to incorrectly and she also said that she would not do it not only is she messing with my money she's making me look bad by interfering with business q once I started speaking to her and her language she started getting nervous I could see in her eyes that she knew she did something wrong and would not try to fix it. Even if things don't get rectified the simple fact that I was able to call her out and she knew it is simply enoughbecause I know for a fact that she did not think I could speak her language and articulate that she was doing wrong. It was very visible in her face. Even if I was ordering food and not doing delivery for that establishment based off of that experience I wouldn't even order from there. Go to a more honest establishment if you...

I am a big fan of Banana King and I have been going to Paterson locations for years. I recently moved near Elizabeth so I’ve came here around 5 times. I spent around $40 today on a strawberry shake, mango/passion fruit shake, Papa wings barbecue, salchipapa & a chicken empanada. My friend asked for a Colombian empanada and even pointed to it at the display case, specifying he wanted that kind. I also specified to the woman who took our order I wanted barbecue sauce on my fries as well , not just the wings and she said okay. Once we got our food and opened it at home, we were given the wrong empanada, a regular one instead of Colombian and there was barely any barbecue sauce on my wings, nevertheless the fries. I was really disappointed!. The lady rushed our order so for $40 I’m not pleased. I’m also surprised it’s now $1.75 extra for Strawberry flavored shake, which was not a thing for this franchise in the past and we weren’t told it would be extra. Not pleased today. I’ve been a fan of Banana King for years but this location needs to do better. I would rather take the extra drive in Paterson, to the new business “It’s Waoo”, this...

When I first got to the Banana King I was pleasantly surprised that I was wrong what it was going to be all about from great shakes to Great Food banana king surprised the heck out of me Belleville empanadas and then the little meat platter they have to do amazing shakes I have to say banana king blew me away the people are always friendly and they're always trying to help and her staff is young but still eager to take your order the food stand fresh and shakes are as well they have friendly eco-friendly I guess shakes and like it's all prepared in front of you I did not expect that I expected just a little Taqueria place but it wasn't that it was more and now it's going to make it the pleasure is to go even though the night so good If Only They had a delivery service but other than that I try it and it's so close to home and the prices are pretty reasonable the shakes a great as a matter of fact Wolverine this review I might go...

Very disappointed in the quality and quantity. I've been going to Banana King since well over 15 years ago and boy has everything gone downhill. I just found out they changed the fish sandwich. It used to be on a pressed Cuban bread with real fried fish, now it's a mostly breaded on a bun frozen fish, that cost ne about $8 and was burnt and mostly bread, that's even worse than McDonald's fish sandwich. Their chicken sandwich also tasted very fake, frozen, and lackluster. Even their green hot sauce changed and also tastes cheap. They used to ha r the best green hot sauce with oil, freshly ground hot green peppers, now it has more vinegar and just tastes cheap. Will not be going back there anymore. Workers were nice though. 👍

The banana king in Elizabeth is the typical banana king as far as the set up. Parking is hard to find. The workers at the time I went were friendly. The food is alright and the passion fruit smoothie could’ve been made better.
