Banana Joe

I have to say that this is one of the burgers I've ever had. The quality of the burger is top-notch and the burgers are made by hand every day. If you are into fancy eating, this is not the place to visit. Yet, if you are into amazing juicy burgers, this is THE place to go. 🍔

I saw at some web pages this restaurant recomended as one of the best and cheapest of Copenhaguen, and I can confirm it. I went to have dinner and the special burger with curry sauce was really really nice. The owner is a very good person and that is something to highlight. The place is very small but if you go to Copenhaguen you must eat here once

This burger place is a tiny one concerning the size of it but when it comes to the taste it is huge. Joe is incredibly helpful, friendly and humorous. And he makes an incredibly tasty salmon burger. The fish was tender, juicy and just perfect in combination with the slightly spicy and fresh sauces it is served with. The fries were a little bit too crispy to be perfect but this doesn't harm my great experience at this cool place since the service and the burgers are outstanding. Beef burger was also delicious. Prices are super affordable. If you enjoy great burgers just go there!

You MUST try this place. The salmon burger is amazing. And the prices are really cheap. Best burger of Copenhagen, no doubt. Joe it’s a gentleman, my favorite guy of Denmark.

Delicious burgers at an unbelievable price. Fresh ingredients and great flavor, can't compare to any other in the city. Best part of the experience is having a chat with the super nice owner!

The burger was very good, super cheap and fresh. The owner was lovely to talk too, such a nice person. This place have been open for 33 years! Places like this and people like you is what makes Copenhagen great❤️Thank you!!

2022 update: Still loving it! 😁 2021 review: You shouldn't really by able to dislike a 35 kr. burger made from freshly ground beef. Is it a fancy café style thing? Is it served on a bed of virgin baby spinach topped with homemade organic truffle mayo? NO. It's just a nice basic burger served by a passionate nice guy. Loving it 😍

I didn't comment immideately because I wanted to spend some time on this. I had read several reviews about this particular shop and it immediately entered the list of those I would like to visit. So on my birthday I decided to go for a burger to celebrate by myself. Walking in, I saw an old-school burger shop, and inside a gentleman carefully preparing his orders. The catalog was on loan so I asked him what to get, should I try the banana joe or the one with salmon. I end up getting the banana joe, so I sit outside waiting for my order. After a few hours I am ready and I am served an excellent burger with lots of taste and love, all the ingredients in absolute balance, something that you cannot find in Copenhagen. After I have finished my meal, I see the gentleman coming out and offering me some salmon on a plate, to try it and that's what he told me. Somewhere there we start talking for a long time and introduce ourselves to Chiheb, a very interesting conversation with a wonderful person. Going to leave I go to pay he tells me -whatever you need don't hesitate, -I say thank you. - I ask him how much it costs? I-t's your birthday George, we're fine, happy birthday! I think it is one of the moments I will remember forever, far from home and those you love, to have someone show you that some moments and days are superior to others. Thank you very much from the bottom of my heart, as long as I am in Copenhagen we will see each other often. George.

Great food, cheap prices. We stopped by here and got 3 burgers(2 specials and 1 salmon burger) and a large fry for about $27 US. Which so far is our cheapest meal in Copenhagen and gave us a large amount of food. We also got some extras added to our order on the house. The owner seems to run the shop on his own and is extremely friendly. His hospitality and generosity along with the food has made this meal the favorite of our trip.

There are saints...and then there is Chiheb a.k.a Banana Joe. Like everyone else who uses Yelp and that other travel site to find the best places to dine while traveling abroad, my wife and I were lured into this burger joint during our honeymoon by the cacophony of five star reviews scattered across the interwebs. We went in expecting a good, cheap burger after hitting up all the Mikkeller bars and To Ol during the day. What we left with was, indeed, a few great, (and massive) affordable burgers, but also hours worth of stories, a new friend, and a bolstered appreciation and perspective for the experiences of someone whose background was so different from our own. I won't go into everything Chiheb did for us while we were at his establishment, as I don't think it should be expected he go as above and beyond as he did for my wife and I. With what I witnessed during our two times at the restaurant, I don't think we're the exception, though. I watched Chiheb treat every customer like they were his own family, happily serving up his burgers, chatting about his life, and having spirited conversations with just about every patron that entered his door. I observed the man do things they tell you to do in the Bible. I listened to him passionately chat about his home country, his incredible journey to Denmark, his day job (of course he works at a hospital), his family, and his views on why he treats the people who enter his humble burger joint the way he does, regardless of their race, ethnicity, gender, or even their ability to pay fully. If you don't have an intimate and educational experience at Banana Joe, it's either extremely busy (Chiheb runs the restaurant by himself) or you need to check yourself...because the problem definitely isn't the man flipping the patties. As for those patties, the burgers themselves are pretty damn tasty. My wife and I both got the Banana Joe Special, a juicy monstrosity of medium/medium-rare beef, heaps of perfectly melted cheese, and fresh veggies, as well as a curried "special sauce" and fried egg that ooze everywhere and double as a great sauce for the fries (also well done). There isn't much in the way of drinks, but do you really need anything other than an ice cold Coke or Fanta for your burger munching needs? As a self-proclaimed burger fanatic, I've had a lot of burgers considered the "best" all around the world. While this wasn't the mind-blowing, life-altering experience I've had a few times, I doubt you can find a better burger in Copenhagen. Chiheb also cooks some mean fish...but that's a story for another time and place. Coming from somebody who had just hiked Trolltunga and Preikestolen, devoured Swedish meatballs in Stockholm, and also dined at Noma and Restaurant Krebsegaarden while in Copenhagen, eating at Banana Joe was one of the highlights of my wife and I's three week honeymoon in Scandinavia. Chiheb is truly a special dude, and it was an honor and privilege to enter as a guest at Banana Joe...and leave as a friend.

Banana Joe is the best burger I've had in years, and I had it not in the States, but in Denmark! Color me surprised. Joe was such a kind person, and he was endlessly patient with the two clueless Americans who wandered into his restaurant. I got the special burger, and it was covered in this special sauce that reminded me of a curry gravy. It got EVERYWHERE: on my hands (oops, should have eaten it the Danish way, knife and fork style!), on my face, in my lap... luckily, most of it made it into my mouth, where it was a flavor explosion. I've never had a burger with cucumbers on it, but it was a shockingly good surprise. Joe also told me that his restaurant is just a fun hobby, which blew my mind. If I had a burger-making skill like his, I would do nothing else and count it as my community service. Then again, I'd also be about 500 pounds...

I was with family and friends visiting Copenhagen. Before the trip, we looked up where to eat at Trip Advisor and Yelp. Both sites have high rating on Banana Joe. So we thought we give it a try since it is just a 10 minutes walk from where we stayed. Although the place is small and there are tables outside the restaurant, but the restaurant is clean and cozy. To our surprise. the owner does it all. He took our orders, he cooked, he cleaned and he served. We ordered a burger (I forgot the name but it came with a fried egg) and a chicken burger. They were sooooo good. Chicken was moist and the sauce on both burgers were just unbelievable. One of our friends asked for the sauce recipe. Joe said it is his secret recipe. Joe took time and have a chat with us. His English was good and he is funny too. He is a hard working honest man. We all very happy that we went there and have such a wonderful meal. I highly recommend this place. It is a burger place but these are extraordinary burgers. Try it and you wouldn't be disappointed.

If I could give this place 10 stars, I would because it's that amazing. I've been traveling through Western Europe with a friend and we found this wonderful restaurant through a blog recommendation. As we continue on in our travels, were find ourselves missing Joe and Joe's burgers already. First - the food here is so delicious and priced as a bargain. The menu may not be full of varieties but it honestly doesn't need to as there is something for everyone. I got the salmon fillet and my friend got the Banana Joe burger, which comes with an egg. It's listed as a fast food place but it's better to eat here instead of take out. My salmon burger was very flavorful and juicy, the combo of the veggies and sauce was delicious. And the size of the burgers are huge. One burger will be enough to fill you up. The true magic of Banana Joe is the proprietor himself. Joe is the sweetest man ever as well as extremely multi-lingual. We conversed easily with him in English and some French. He cares alot about the customers that come through his shops, hence the way he prices his meals and the attention he gives to each burger. He hand makes everything! And there is only him working at the restaurant too, which is extreme dedication. We feel blessed to have stumbled upon Banana Joe's as not only did we get to consume great food at an amazing price, but also to have found a friend in Joe as well.

Whenever I visit Copenhagen, I have to hit up Banana Joe. Been coming here for years because the man knows how to make an epic burger. Portions are huge and totally worth your money. Thanks for being an awesome human being, Banana Joe. You're a kind generous person, and Peter and I can't wait to see you next time we're back in DK. Peter says hi! Tusind tak!

Great burger and an even better experience. I visited this small burger shop on my visit to Copenhagen based on all the rrave reviews. This restaurant does not disappoint, the food is cooked fresh and prepared with love. This is not typical fast food as once an order is placed, it'll take some time to prepare and cook it. Not knowing what to order,I went with a simple cheeseburger and fries. The burger was cooked well, came with all the typical condiments, and had a sauce that was really good. The owner is one of the most genuine business owners I've ever encountered and even though I only spoke to him for a few minutes, the quality of his character really stood out.

This review is long overdue! We visited Copenhagen July 2015 and Banana Joe was on the list of places to eat because of his awesome Yelp reviews. Joe is a fantastic man and his burgers are amazing!! We enjoyed speaking with him and he made our trip memorable with his unique kindness that you just can't find everyday. Thank you so much Joe and we will be back again in July 2016!

We found Banana Joe's online and saw the reviews for it that said it was great. It's in the area of our Airbnb so we had to try it out. It was delicious and definitely worth going here even if it's not in your way. Joe is a super kind and nice person, accommodating to what you want in your food. The food was delicious. My friend for chicken barbecue burger and I got the veggie burger. We both enjoyed it. Such a great, local place.

Delicious burgers, although they are a messy to eat. The place is small and doesn't fit many people but it's well worth a visit for the cheap, good food, and the nice owner. I got the banana joe burger, which came with fries, and it only costs 52DKK. The burger is huge by the way. The vegetarian burger is 35DKK. My sister and I decided to eat at Banana Joe's after hearing all the good things about it on Copenhagen cheap-eats websites. My sister is a vegan so I thought she was going to get the vegetarian burger, but she decided to food at another place while I waited for my order. Joe was super nice and genuine. He gave my sister a free burger after she returned with her food. He had a little chat with us and refused to let us pay for the veggie burger, which my sister said was delicious. I would have eaten at Banana Joe everyday in Copenhagen if we had stayed nearby, but maybe it's a good thing we didn't or I'll gain fat! If you're reading this, do it! Go eat at Banana Joe! You won't be disappointed!

Came upon Banana Joe due to all the hype on Yelp and TripAdvisor and left with the appreciation of a great attitude, taste of familiarity, and the importance of reviews. Banana Joe doesn't try to be more than it is, which is a basic burger shop at a relatively solid price that's manned by an awesome dude. Is it the best burger in Copenhagen? I certainly haven't tried enough in town to say. But it is decent at best, though perhaps I've been spoiled by LA. The burger, while substantial and messy (in a good way), is overcooked. While my friends' food were fine, I found a small hair in the middle of my burger. And finally, unless you're craving a burger, if you're looking for a value meal, there's dozens of kebab shops in the area in the same price range.

I would have given four stars had I been a big fan of burger, but I am not - so it's going to be an A-OK from me. To be fair, the burger (I got the Banana Joe special, with fried egg inside!) is delicious. It's got great sauce and very messy to eat (and Danes, you're supposed to eat burgers with your hands!) and I like it the way it is, especially with that price. What a bargain! But like I said - I am not a big burger eater, so chance that I am coming here again to have a burger is probably minuscule.

I had high hopes for Banana Joe's due to its great reviews, and I was not disappointed! I had the Banana Joe Special burger and it was utterly delicious. The only thing better than the food was Joe's incredible attention to customer service. Truly a great guy and a great shop. Don't miss out on this gem!

While visiting Copenhagen, we were excited to try Banana Joe and sink our teeth into a hearty burger after trekking around the city all day. From the outside, Banana Joe is a "hole in the wall"-esque restaurant that's easy to miss. However, I'm happy to report that it's well worth making a pit stop. THE GOOD: - Banana Joe sticks to one thing and does it very well: burgers. We each got the "special burger", which is a big, beefy burger with cheese and a fried egg (vacation calories don't count, right?). Take your first bite and everything comes together to create this runny, juicy burger heaven, with the yolk and special sauce drizzling down your arm and over your fries. - The owner of the shop is a one-man show and made us feel right at home. We are picky eaters - I don't care for pickles, cucumbers or tomatoes on my burgers - and he took care to make each of our burgers exactly as ordered. - A special burger, side of fries and can of Fanta came to less than 100 DKK - a true rarity in a city like Copenhagen. THE BAD: - I pose this as a warning to folks that don't like getting messy: you're going to get messy. Personally, I don't mind one bit, so I'm not docking off a star - I'm not trying to look my best when sitting in a burger joint. The owner has forks and knives on hand if that's your style. All in all, we left Banana Joe extremely full and satisfied. I would definitely recommend it to locals and visitors alike.

After 7 years on yelp, I'm happy to give my 500th review to Banana Joe. I've walked/biked by this place so many times; first mistaking it for a smoothie place and later your average grill bar. Don't make the same mistake as I did. "Joe" makes burgers with care, using fresh ingredients and charging you the bare minimum. We got a cheeseburger, a deluxe cheeseburger, large fries, and a coke here for 100 kr. No brioche or truffle or fancy cheeses here; he uses a soft burger bun, ubiquitous orange cheese, and what I'd be a fool to assume was free-range meat. However, it all comes together into a hot, beautiful mess with good crispy fries. What you get is a very straightforward burger and great conversation with a genuine and friendly guy. Even if you can't get a seat in this closet of an eatery, I'd still get a simple burger and fries to take away. My only regret is not seeing that they have a burger that comes with a fried egg! Next time, Banana Joe.

I don't know what all the hype is with this burger joint. I ordered the Banana Joe Special Burger (52 DKK), and I must say, this burger was not even close to being one of the best burgers I ever had. I'm not sure where everyone is from, but they're clearly not from anywhere that serves out of this world amazing burgers. It didn't help that my burger was cooked well done, despite my specifying medium rare twice to the owner. The sauce had a Turkish flavor to it, but even that was underwhelming. Even the fried egg, which makes everything tastes better, was overcooked and didn't add to the burger. The service was ok. I was served my burger to go even though I had every intention to dine in, so it made for a very messy experience. The service was ok. The owner was nice, but it wasn't anything to talk about. I probably wouldn't go back here, nor would I recommend it. I don't know if I came on an off day or what, but it certainly wasn't busy here. This place is small and only has a few seats. And by a few I mean 2 tables and 6 chairs. And no toilets, so don't even think about chugging a beer before you come here. Credit cards are accepted here.

Was struggling one night to find some good cheap food. Followed the reviews and was not disappointed at all. The owner was extremely nice and explained the menu to us in the hole in the wall restaurant that you could easily walk by. There were a ton of regulars coming through who knew him as well. Just be sure to bring cash if you have a foreign card because ours wasn't working. However, the owner gave us a nice discount when we paid with cash when our cards didn't work. The burgers were delicious. We got a cheeseburger and a Banana joe Special (cheeseburger with an egg). So filling and tasty for a really decent price. As an American, I was very happy to find a good burger place in CPH and ill definitely be bringing friends back.

Seriously great food! Joe's veggie burger is a nice size with good flavor. It comes with a good amount of veggies (lettuce tomato cucumber onion) and a creamy sauce that doesn't overpower the burger. Also, it doesn't break the bank! It's a good deal and I will definitely be back! Probably the best veggie burger I've eaten in my time in Copenhagen. Forget the falafel joints. Eat at (Banana) Joe'(s)!

Joe is a genuine and hospitable proprietor of his restaurant. While the size of the place is modest, his food is as big as his personality and heart. One of us was on the fence between the fresh fish burger and the cheeseburger. He gave her a free "sample" which actually was nearly the size of an entire burger! We came in at dinner time with 7 of us and he had the entire order done in 10 minutes, even with a couple change requests after our initial order. His burgers are really as good as the reviews say they are. Fries are a must as well. He even gave us a free coke to wash them down with. While handling payment for our order, he conversed with us personally in 3 different languages. I felt like he was welcoming us in his home. If you don't make your way here at least once, you're missing out on a gem of a restaurant.

Excellent, simple food at reasonable prices, both of which are definitely a rarity for Copenhagen. Don't just pass by Joe's: drop in for great hospitality and tasty eats. One of the best burgers around with plentiful tasty meat and good seasonings. Is it a Michelin star stop? Nope, but it's the perfect stop off for a great, economical meal. Grab a chicken or beef burger off the grill, sit down, and have a chat. You'll be well rewarded for your time. Jose is a remarkable owner with a keen sense for humanity.

Really value for money Best deal in Copenhagen by far The burger was filling The meat was nice and the chips crispy I got the banana joe burger and it was delicious

Banana Joe's is a surprise wonder in Copenhagen. Excellent quality food, simple - delicious food at a reasonable price, and Chiheb himself, the light and soul of the place. Walking along the street you'd be surprised by the small, Spartan shop he's created, heck, I'd even walked by a few times without thinking about it. But take that chance, step inside, and give him the opportunity and the food, sauces, and hospitality will knock your socks off! The shop itself is clean, organized and the kitchen is in great shape. Banana Joe is a chef with a real passion and drive for good food and a firm believer that the people make the atmosphere and the place. You can drop by for a Burger, or for great company and good conversation. Humor, community and mouthwatering food all mixed into one. Banana Joe's Special burger is dripping with sauces and flavor, a large patty seasoned perfectly, mixed with a flavorful surprise of sauces and toppings that have rightfully earned Banana Joe's the prestige of best burger in Copenhagen. Not in the mood for a burger? Don't despair, Banana Joe's Taxi Steak, Chicken, and mixed grill plates are equally delicious. With a perfect blend of flavor that compliments each individual taste, and come together in a symphony of goodness. He has made a couple of special dishes for me over the last few weeks, and I have to say, he made a ravioli that was the best I've ever had. Without a doubt the most tender, delicious in mouth texture and taste I've ever experienced for Ravioli. He know how to cook almost every type of food, but he puts a certain passion and love into his food that makes it special. Be warned, the shop is designed mostly for take away, and there is only counter/seating space for about six people, with two or four more seated outside. That said, it is absolutely worth it to wait for one of those seats and get a chance to talk to the man himself. The owner is a one man show, and he's passionate and friendly with a big smile, a great sense of humor and a welcoming hospitality that is hard to find in todays rushed modern world. Definitely 5 stars for an economical and delicious restaurant

My girlfriend and I were in Copenhagen recently visiting a friend on our semester abroad. We arrived late and checked Yelp for anything near to our hostel that might be cheap and good. Banana Joe's 5-star rating convinced us to walk the extra couple minutes over the next place on the list and wow - Joe certainly didn't disappoint. Not only was the food fantastic (easily one of the best burgers I've ever had anywhere) but Joe himself was awesome! He speaks so many languages (I remember Danish, English, German and French off the top of my heard), and even gave us free fries to boot! Needless to say, if you're ever nearby, Joe's is definitely worth a try.

The owner is pretty nice and I had the banana joe burger. However, I don't see the reason that people rave about. Burger is good because of the sauce. But I could not taste anything of the burger, not the patty nor the egg, but the sauce. I'm sorry. However, the price is reasonable as the portion is biggg. Will try the taxt steak next time!

Joe is the real deal! He even spoke with us in French after he heard us talking in French. The burgers are definitely huge, tasty, and you can order the french fries because they were amazing. And all of that for a very cheap price... who asks for more? As said in other comments: foreigners, bring cash as credit cards other than "Dankort" are not accepted. (there is an ATM close and Joe let us go there to withdraw some cash) The place is not that big inside but there are several tables put outside when the weather is fine, and that makes it more enjoyable! Superb!

Cheap well made burgers. However, as a burger connoisseur I would like to see Joe try making his own buns as well as upgrading the fries to a better brand. I would gladly pay extra. The service by Joe himself is great as he is very open and friendly.

The extra star is for the wonderful proprietor. What a great guy! He explained this was his side job, and I'd call it a vocation. Copenhagen needs Chiheb and his joy in feeding fellow humans. He fed us well and showed us kindness. Made my evening! (If the fries were fresh, I'd be writing a 5 star review.)

Very low price burger that's greecy and delicious. I got the Banana Joe special for like 55kr or something, and it comes with an egg on top. As other reviews mentioned, the owner is very nice. He gave me a free soda when I told him to keep the change. Just note that this place is a hole in the wall with very limited seating

The ratings are true. Delicious burgers. Affordable prices. Simple nice guy. He was kind to translate the available options and easily help my decision for the special.

Loved Banana Joe! I went with two friends a couple of months ago, and we received awesome service. I had the chicken burger, and they each got the Special Banana Joe burger. Both were delicious! The cool thing was, I went again with my boyfriend this past week, and the owner remembered me! He's such a nice guy, really likes to know what his customers think of his food. He set up the table for us, and made us feel very comfortable and welcomes, even for such a small place. The burger is wonderful - he puts a delicious sauce on top (can't figure out what the flavor was, which I know is super helpful, but it was delicious), and an egg which is new/awesome to me, and your other average burger toppings. The burger itself is very good but we agreed it's not the absolute best we've ever had - the whole ensemble of the toppings is what makes it so good. Great portion sizes. Reasonable price. Highly recommend, and I plan on going back!

Another great burger in Copenhagen. Who would have thought. This burger, the Luskus, was excellent. It has a slight middle eastern flavoring which blended perfectly with the burger. I'll be back.

A little homesick from the U.S. so I dropped in here on my first night in Copenhagen. Perfect spot. Small, the owner is friendly and helps to pick an order. Burger is like any Mom-and-Pop spot you'd find in America: large, messy, perfect. After a long day's drive, this amazing little spot was the truth.

Banana Joe is my new favorite burger place in Copenhagen. The burgers are fantastic and the service is the best! Make sure to make Chiheb your friend.. Actually you should make this your local burger hookup. Because you're gonna want to come back in. Even just to say hi and have a chat.

After reading the reviews I had to give Banana Joe's a try and it was so worth it! The special burger is one of the best I've ever had and meeting Joe makes it an incredibly fantastic experience. He is a true host who will make you feel right at home. Highly recommended!

Best place ever. Service is great, food is great, and of course, the man himself Banana Joe is great. Rumor has it a statue is going to be erected of this man in the center of Copenhagen, and for good reason. He is far and away the best restaurant owner i have ever met. Genuine, understanding, and kind beyond belief. If you are looking for fast, good, and cheap food in Copenhagen, a city where that combination is hard to come by, look no farther. Come here my friend. And let Joe satisfy all of your needs. 10/10.

as the other review says, it's easy to walk by this place but don't. you should stop and grab some food. sometimes keeping things simple is the best way to do it, and that's the philosophy behind banana joe's. the food is made fresh when you order it, not from a freezer and heated up. everything is seasoned right. sit down and watch "joe" grill your items and it's easy to see he cares. that's what makes this place special, you're not just another customer, you're a friend. after we ate, we got a chance to speak with "joe" and he told me his secret - care about your customers and give them good, fresh food, at great prices. and it works.

Banana Joe - the man, the myth, the legend. Do NOT leave Copenhagen without visiting this restaurant, eating a burger and talking with it's amazingly gracious and charming proprietor. Joe made my son and I feel right at home from the first minute we walked in the door. Great conversation, warm atmosphere, personal service and above all - amazing food. Two words - Banana Joe...!

I've now been coming to Joe's for four years. Quality has remained the same since the first time I walked through Banana Joe's door. It's much more than just the signature Banana Joe Burger, which is fantastic. The fish burger is also absolutely amazing and the chicken burger is delicious. This, of course, means that you need at least three visits to Banana Joe's to properly get a feel for what makes this burger joint so special.

I can't even write this review without fantasizing about the burgers and fries there. Definitely one of my favourite places in town for a burger. It's great food, nice service, and super affordable (aka student budget!). Tiny shop with limited seating. I mean they have 6 chairs technically, but I don't how you can get 6 people seated in there and still have access to place an order. Anyway, you should go when you're craving a juicy burger and crispy fries.

Banana Joes is a real find. The burgers are very good and reasonably priced. The small size burger is actually quite large! Plus the guy working there is super nice. Note to tourists: they do not accept foreign credit cards.

The owner is super nice and, in Kbv, where the service sucks big time, it is indeed a great deal. However, the burgers are quite average. I won't come back.

Tasty and cheap little place, a gem of Nørrebro, to be sure! The owner is also an awesome, open minded guy.

My kids are really picky with food, and being born and bred in NY they know a thing or two about burgers. We ordered two plain burgers and French fries and this satisfied them beyond belief. They said the burgers were better than those that me and my wife make on the grill at home ; ) After looking long and hard for good burgers in CPH we found this place. Does not hurt too that they are inexpensive.

Joe's burger is one of the best burger I have eaten. As I watched how he cooked his food, you know that he cooks them with love. Just like the way he treats his customers. He sacrificed his once big restaurant to share his love with his customers. He said this makes him happy. If anyone is around Banana Joe's area be sure to visit Joe and eat his food. I can assure you satisfaction.

Joe was awesome!! He surprised us with a specialty burger and grilled the burgers right in front of the customers! It felt like eating at home. He also gave us free chicken kebabs and trusted us to go get cash when our American Credit card didn't work. The prices are way lower then it should be. One of the best going out to eat experiences that we have had!

I love this place. I am an American student who is studying in Denmark for the year and I really missed burgers. I found this place online and decided to try it out. I loved the burger I got especially for the price I paid. What is even better is the service. The owner is fantastic. He is very welcoming and helpful and loves having new customers. I have become a frequent customer of Banana Joe because the overall experience was just wonderful. I highly recommend this place!

We LOVE Joe's burgers and everything that comes with it! I tis always fresh, grilled outside on demand, and Joe uses only fresh ingredients. My kids and husband always go for burgers and fries, I personally love the salmon, Sitting in the summer time, eating smoky, juicy, giant burgers, sipping beer and watching the crowds, it is an ultimate summer delight in Copenhagen, and cheap too, you will have money leftover for an ice cream. We 've become regulars, and kids become fast friends with Joe who always treat them with great kindness. Mina K, dedicated her! 500th review to Banana Joe, and I dedicate my first one. Banana Joe is number one.

WHO DOESN'T LOVE BURGERS? ESPECIALLY A DELICIOUS, JUICY ONE!? Then Banana joe is THE place to go to when you are craving for burger and fries. Copenhagen is not a cheap place to eat out at, the burgers at banana joe are reasonably price. And don't forget to take to the owner, Chiheb, his great hospitality adds a lot to the whole wonderful experience. Do order the special burger, ummm the juicy beef patty, the perfectly fried egg and fresh vegetables.

Fantastic burger with fantastic service. I would always go there when I'm back in Copenhagen. Cheers to Banana Joe, keep the good work up!
