Fatima Evans first conceived of the Banana Hut in 2004. A 14ft. fiberglass concession trailer was purchased and transformed in to the first "hut". Decorated with grass skirts,flowers and monkeys,the trailer made its first appearance at the 2004 Redwood Acres fair,selling banana fritters,ice cream and drinks. At later events,other items were added,including a line of specialty drinks. The drinks were all fun,non-alcoholic drinks made with bananas and fruit juices. Chocolate dipped bananas were also added,with Fatima creating her own chocolate dipping sauce. Then she decided that she wanted to open the Banana Hut as a restaurant located next to the Tuff Club. It opened in 2006, and her Kalua Pig and Pineapple Rib dishes became instant hits. In January of 2007, husband,Ken Evans retired from his job as juvenile probation officer with Humboldt County,joining Fatima full time at the restaurant as "front man" and cashier. The business grew steadily in this remote location. However, in 2009,Ken and Fatima decided to change the direction of the Banana Hut. With another new location in downtown 5th Street in Eureka,the restaurant continues to "morph" with the most exotic cuisine and decor in town.

The Banana Hut Hawaiian BBQ Restaurant truly represents our vision of a tropical paradise,a "bit of Hawaii",here on the mainland. Fatima,painted the sky,and made the sun. Her wax flowers can be seen on the walls,and art that we collected over the years,adorns the walls as well. Robotic butterflies flutter on the thatched roofs that hover over the booths and Punkah fans on the ceiling were inspired by the Long Bar at the Raffles Hotel in Singapore giving the room a distinct look and feel.
Try our exotic Tropical drinks, such as the Blue Hawaii, Mai Tai or Mango Mojito. Perhaps you might want to try our cool Banana Milk shakes. This and more is available at The Banana Hut Hawaiian BBQ.
New dinner items include Babyback Ribs with pineapple glaze,Lomi Lomi Salmon,Ahi Poke,Pork Chops,Huli Huli Chicken,Chicken Adobo,Carmelized Tofu, and peel and eat Garlic Shrimp inspired by the North Shore shrimp trucks of Oahu.
