    This place has gone downhill. My husband and I have been many times and have always satisfied with our meal and service. Last night however was a different story. Our waiter was less than personable. We ordered coconut shrimp no more than our waiter took our order someone came and put it on our table it was cold, sent it back and another once came out cold, not to mention we did not even receive appetizer plates. Our mains where less them memorable my food was cold and could tell was sitting for a while. My husbands was okay. I asked for more water half way through my meal to which I never received - yes I ordered a alcoholic drink as well. Wait staff seemed bothered and not happy to be working. I wasn’t gonna leave a review as I get it could just be an off night. However this morning I was cleaning out my purse and came across my bill and noticed I was charged for 2 coconut shrimp when I sent one back and told our waiter the second one was no better then the first. And we still tipped knowing that waiters relay on there tips to live. We will not be going back anytime soon.

    It's been a couple years or more since I've been here. The spinach artichoke dip needed more salt...tasted like it was out of a can/container. The coconut shrimp is still the best I've had! I ordered the Jamaican plantain bowl!!! It was super delicious! My mother had the grilled salmon which could've been a bit more juicer and used a little more flavor. My niece's honey butter chicken sandwich was very tasty!!! The chicken pasta could've used more chicken but the extra cheese added a bit more flavor. Our waitress was very polite and pleasant.

    This place was extremely busy. MAKE RESERVATIONS!! The atmosphere was nice, clean, inviting and chill. The drinks were definitely not lacking on the alcohol nor were the overly sweet. We got jerk wings and beef empanadas and we not disappointed. The beef empanada was buttery and flaky. The jerk wings were taken to the next level after pouring the sauce on them but they were good regardless. We see why they were so busy.

    We love this location! Amazing food, great variety of alcoholic beverages and wonderful service. Destiny was an attentive waitress. She had a very large section to herself but handled it with grace! The entrees took a little while to come out, but well worth the wait. The kitchen just got a little backed up with serval people coming in at once. I highly recommend saving room for dessert because it was to die for!

    One thing I can say the food here never disappoints, my wings and empanadas where delicious as always for the first time I has dessert, as a lover of key lime pie I can say this one was great, had to eat a little at a time just so I can have extra for later. This was my first time using the take out service I always dine in, the process was simple, being able to order curbside and not have to get out the car is very convenient and I suggest using this if you want amazing food but are to tired to get out, pulling up and pulling off is a great feature to an already great restaurant.

    It's a chain restaurant. The food is the same. Portion size does not match the menu prices. It's overpriced for the offerings. Quite a few shrimp dishes/combos. It's still slightly above pub food offerings. Just have lots of drinks and enjoy the company of friends. I don't need to critique the food. It won't help. There was a ton of waitstaff, but waiting is the thing here. Bel was friendly enough. The place really could stand to get rid of the strings of dust. Look at the fans... Ewww

    Food mostly good. Service was nice but slow toward the end. Main issue was just that the drinks didn't seem to have spirits included which makes it a total waste of money and the bathroom was disgusting. Kiosks at table seem to cheapen the experience which had a nice vibe otherwise with live music outside. Part of order was forgotten to be brought out. Probably wouldn't return to this location particularly. We really liked the Jamaican stuffed plantain, jerk wings, and shrimp in pineapple.

    Full Caribbean food experience from the moment you arrive. You enter an alternate Caribbean dimension. Feel like waking in a hut by the ocean somewhere very topical. Decorations are flawless. Menu is very interesting. Combination of flavors is a sense feast. Want and will come to explore in the future several menu items. Live music with a Caribbean set of drums.

    Feels good to enjoy delicious food and drinks in a Caribbean atmosphere. My favourite drink was ultimate pineapple pina colada. We also tried Jamaican Jerk chicken, coconut shrimp tacos, fire cracker shrimp and Crab stack. Everything was good except crab stack. Staff is good and friendly and the place is also clean. I have two suggestions. First, the food should be little more hot and second please replace your forks and spoons, they looks so old and dirty. Overall a descent place to have a dinner.

    Food is very flavorful. Has lots of island flavors. Service took a bit long to receive our food, but it is a big place with lots of people so expect that for sure. Variety of food is good too. They have seafood, steak, burgers, salad, sandwiches, pastas, etc. It is a nice relaxing atmosphere.

    I decided to stop by Bahama Breeze after completing some work 10/27/23 Fri as I was feeling a bit hungry. Peyton was my server and he was cool. The atmosphere is pretty chill, and the music feels like a vacation. There weren’t many people there around 2:30p but I was happy with that. I order a steak meal with black beans, yellow rice and plantains & bahamarita frozen drink…. Yum, so good. Unika B. & Co.

    Service is good, food is great! I got for Mahi Tacos Combo with black beans soup which I had never had a black beans soup before. It was very good experience to tasting it. Bahamas inspired restaurant.

    Always busy & great servers. The Pineapple jerk chicken is awesome. Steak is great. Awesome seafood soup. Delicious & massive Cuban sandwich ordered by others in our group. Great drink selection!

    The food definitely wasn't good. The kids weren't happy with their meals at all. Some of the appetizers were ok. It's been a year or more since I've been. I have no intent on going back.

    Once we figured out how to get into the building, we were quickly sat and were excited by the menu. Our waitress was super kind and gave us some advice as it was our first time. Her helpfulness continued throughout the experience, continuously anticipating our needs. As for the food, we were impressed by the beef empanadas but didnt realize how filling they’d be. By the time our firecracker shrimp, three cheese and crab dip and plantains came, we were pretty full. Everything was tasty just wish they were warmer. Felt like they had been sitting for a while. Overall, would probably go back and try some other things.

    My wife and I recently dined at Bahama Breeze for lunch and were thoroughly impressed by the experience. The highlight of my meal was the jerk chicken, perfectly complemented by yellow rice, beans, and plantains. It was a delightful burst of Caribbean flavors. My wife savored her plate of succulent coconut shrimps, paired with rice and a fresh house salad. We treated ourselves to the key lime pie for dessert, which was absolutely amazing. A perfect balance of tangy and sweet, it was a memorable end to our meal. For drinks, I enjoyed a refreshing pineapple juice, while my wife had a delightful strawberry lemonade. We were a bit disappointed as they had run out of ingredients for the “Virgin Pineapple Ultimate,” a drink I was eager to try. This was a minor setback in an otherwise great dining experience. Our waiter deserves a special mention for his pleasant and patient demeanor, especially as we took our time deciding what to order. The ambiance of the restaurant was calm, with soothing Caribbean style music that added to the overall relaxed atmosphere. It was surprisingly uncrowded for a weekday lunch, which made our experience even more enjoyable. The cleanliness of the bathrooms was a pleasant surprise, adding to the overall positive impression of the restaurant. However, there is room for improvement in the menu presentation. It was somewhat challenging to navigate, with a heavy emphasis on drinks over food items. If you’re in search of a nationwide Caribbean restaurant chain offering a decent culinary experience, Bahama Breeze is a solid choice. Its combination of flavorful dishes, cozy ambiance, and friendly service makes it a restaurant worth visiting.

    The drinks were good. The appetizer was great (the crab dip)The server was amazing!!but the jerk shrimp pasta and the jerk chicken pasta was a no go. It tasted like a can of Alfredo sauce and unseasoned pasta. It didn’t have any jerk seasonings on it or anything. I am going to post a picture of the food they served us then a comparison picture to what I cooked at home and you can decide for yourself which one looks like a jerk pasta dish.

    Love the beef empanadas! Tried the pineapple shrimp rice bowl for the first time and loved it! Our waitress almost talked me out of trying it. The jerk wings are a staple for us but be warned, you are only getting six. They advertise as a pound to sell you on it. They use to give you eight and charge less. The night atmosphere is great for a date night. The number of menu options have declined. Not a first choice of dining options but the food is good and you can have a good time.
