The Banana Hut started out in 2004 as a simple fair-food shack selling banana fritters and ice cream. In 2009, owners Ken and Fatima Evans expanded into a full restaurant in downtown Eureka.

In 2011, they were able to purchase the remains of the interior of Chicago's Kona Kai, and planned to expand to add a tiki bar and banquet room.

The restaurant had plenty of thatch and a scattering of smaller tiki masks on the walls, with a bright and airy modern surf feel. The food was Hawaiian cuisine with all the plate lunch favorites, and tropical cocktails were available.

Closed in August 2020.
