    My son made reservations online which worked out perfectly for us. On the way there we asked a friend to join us. So That was an additional person we needed to add once we got there since we already made reservations. Parking was a bit difficult but we survived & checked in with absolutely no wait time! They were able to easily accommodate us in adding the 3rd person as well! They gave us a booth overlooking the water & all the tiki torches were lit outside so the atmosphere was amazing! Our friend came about 20 minutes later and we ordered shortly after. Prior to them joining us we ordered our drinks (non alcoholic) and some appetizers which were very fresh guacamole & chips, & the cheese sticks - these were perfect & not too filling. They changed their menu since we had been there last & didn’t have the shrimp scampi any longer so we asked our server I believe her name was Day - if they could still make it & they did! Our wait time didn’t seem like any wait at all for the food. Our server being attentive in all the right ways & not overly so either! Everything was fantastic, & I do mean everything!

    Bahama Breeze has a spacious and comfortable environment. We had lunch indoors because it was a tad chilly today (65°) and sat at a window seat along the water. My wife had the grilled chicken salad with Ranch and it was delicious, more than enough to satisfy the midday stomach growl. I had the Cuban, one of my favorite sandwiches when traveling, and it was as good as any I've had. Wonderful atmosphere, good food and good service (Thank you, Yvette!) made for a perfect lunch.

    Service was excellent but a little bit slower than usual due to the high amount of people on a tuesday night. The location is definitely gorgeous inside and the views outside are amazing. Their draft beer is delicious and the bartender recommendations were spot on. I had the avocado stack for appetizer and it was full of shrimp and crab. Real stuff not the imitation. I wish it had more juicy sauce on the bottom but i could have asked for more. The paella is full of seafood and a really big portion as well but in my opinion lacked some flavor. Let me say it was very good but i have tasted excellent. All in all the experience was very good and i would highly recommend this place anytime. I want to visit during day time to see the water views better. This place is huge.

    This is the best place to go for food and a great atmosphere. We landed in Tampa and took A Uber here suitcase and all and we were impressed with the food. A lot of people were there with suitcases so I am glad others had the same idea. Once you land this is the place to have a great meal and enjoy the view. We arrived at 10:58 and it was packed by 12 and just opened at 11:00 am. I recommend the pineapple cocktail for sure and the beef empanadas but honestly everything is good on the menu. Just enjoy !

    Had a nice lunch before going to the airport. We enjoyed the scenic view and it was less expensive then eating at the airport. Food was great!

    The atmosphere is fun and feel like a vacation day. The place is clean and welcoming. Our server was fast and attentive. The food was perfect as in exactly what we ordered and we loved it. We decided to try their non-alcoholic drinks this time, we both loved them and they exceeded our expectations. They were beautiful and colorful and tasted amazing. We didn't miss the alcohol at all, as they ended up feeling like a special treat! I will definitely go back and recommend others as well.

    Great experience. The food was fresh and decent. The grill chicken was a tad bit salty, drinks were great. Overall, it was a great experience. The service and atmosphere were amazing. I do recommend giving them a try.

    Great restaurant, we had a reservation and they seated us right away when we arrived. The food tasted delicious and the whole restaurant was very clean. This place is reasonably priced for the quality and amount of food provided. The atmosphere is always beautiful. Our hostess was very kind. The drinks were on point! I went on a Friday and after 9 pm they have a live band. Live music playing is always a plus. The view from the outside seats is beautiful This place has an Amazing Caribbean Vibe!

    Are we just Callie was amazing! She was super friendly and told us about the best local places since we're on vacation. The food was amazing! We set out in the patio and there was a beautiful breeze and they had fans so it was not too hot. And they even gave us a beautiful orchid in our drink!

    Great location that offers both outdoor and indoor dining options. It’s huge! Has a nice bar and a great view of the water. Food was amazing. The pineapple-mango salsa on my salmon tasted amazing. I was so happy to try something new off their menu. Their sweet mashed potatoes was just as amazing and went really well with the salmon and broccoli.

    Our server was Matthew M and he was amazing! Super helpful and accommodating. The pasta wasn’t anything special, but everything else was tasty! Their burgers and salads are amazing. There was a slight battle over who was paying, and while our side lost he was super funny and made a lot of jokes over it. He made it fun and memorable. The music also was not so loud that we couldn’t hear anything which was very nice. Definitely worth checking it out!

    Get the dragon fruit margarita and key lime pie. Loved the jerk shrimp pineapple bowl and would definitely recommend. Dessert empanadas were tasty but pie even better. Food was slow to come out when busy. Kids loved fish tank. Bathrooms just to the left of the bar (not easy to see). Reservation system is weird - when you get a text your table is ready they make you get back in a line to go to your table - never seen something like that in a lot of restaurant going - awkward waste of time. Free parking. Restaurant is on the water - beach vibe but not on a beach - in an industrial location. No kids coloring activities, which was hard with the long wait for food and dessert but likely that's so you'll pay $1.99 to play games at the device on the table. Server was great, but had to ask for spoons, etc. Too much going on and not enough wait staff, I'd guess. I'd go back for the food.

    Thanks to Eric, Gregg, and Sierra, I was able to host a wonderful happy hour for our company’s clients on September 26th. I enjoyed it just as much as they did, and Eric was helping me draft it together from the start. Gregg handled our rowdy open bar, and delivered every drink perfectly, and Sierra was amazing with the set-up and passing out desserts. Thoroughly appreciate all three for setting up a great private room with a view of the bay, and for organizing it so quickly. Highly recommend this Bahama Breeze. Many Thanks, Keana Rivera

    Yikes! This place had great reviews, we were excited to try it. Restaurant was huge and great atmosphere. Service was pretty good. The food was meh…I have never had a steak I had trouble not only chewing but cutting, the sirloin was awful, no flavor gave up and couldn’t even get through half of it. Coconut shrimp was alright, wish I had ordered that by itself instead of with the steak. Fries were nothing to talk about. The chicken sandwich had a really tasty sauce but was overcooked and dry. The crab 3 cheese dip was the only good thing we ordered. Firecracker shrimp had a weird sauce, shrimp was tasty. Expectations were high and we were pretty disappointed especially for the price. Wouldn’t come back.

    The Jerk Chicken Pineapple Bowl is a must try, it’s perfection. This was probably the best experience I’ve ever had at a restaurant. The people, music, food, and service were all amazing. My only nitpick is that we had a band playing music, it was a little too loud for my liking. I could barely hear our waiter unless he shouted a bit. But overall, I highly recommend. Amazing restaurant.

    My husband & I came here to celebrate our wedding anniversary. The hostess was nice enough to take some pictures of us & s/o to the busboy who photobombed us, we got a good laugh out of that. Our favorite dishes of the night was the beef empanadas and the jerk oysters. The wings are cooked well but we weren’t big on the cinnamon on them. Our waitress was sweet and recommended some great drinks for us. Overall we had a good time & really enjoyed the live music.

    My cousin and I ate here while on vacation and the whole experience was amazing. There was a short wait time, staff was friendly and gave good recommendations, and the food was exquisite. As an appetizer, I got the beef empanadas and my cousin got the yuca cheese sticks. Both were delicious and cooked to perfection. The empanadas came with 2 different sauces and depending on your preferences both were good. For the entrees I got the honey pepper chicken sandwich and my cousin got a cheese burger. The chicken sandwich had a nice crunch, with the perfect amount of sweet honey flavor and pepper. The fries weren’t anything special, but still good. If you’re in the area I’d highly recommend coming here, I’d give it a solid 9/10.

    We meant to take pictures but so good, we ate quite a bit before we took the pictures. That should say it all. Lol.. the empty plate was their black bean burger. The fries were amazing. There were three shrimp tacos; two were gone before I remembered the photo. Their new crab dip with cheese dip was wonderful, and I must say, their rum runners were pretty good.

    Great service, we had the sweetest waiter ever. We began our dining experience out on the patio but the rain got the best of us. We were moved inside quickly without any problem to finish our delicious meal. Try the jerk chicken pasta if you like spice, so good!

    My aunt have been here a few times before so when we visited, she wanted to take us here because she'd enjoyed each of her visits in the past. The favorites of the night was the yuca cheese sticks, beef empanadas, firecracker shrimps, jerk chicken pasta, and jerk shrimp pineapple bowl. The paella was OK, I felt the sausage was very dry and this dish wasn't very satisfactory. For desserts, we were given three choices so we ordered the chocolate island and the pineapple empanadas. I forgot what the third choice was. They were OK, there wasn't a wow factor to the taste but they weren't bad either.

  • 5/5 Jessica Z. 5 months ago on Google
    I'm not a huge fan of dining at chain restaurants but I have to give it to this Bahama Breeze. The location is on point! Right on the water, so you forget you're dining at a chain... kinda feels like a local spot. The service was excellent (sorry I forget our servers name) but she was excellent! The food was very good and reasonably priced. Well done Bahama Breeze!

  • 5/5 Shauna H. 5 months ago on Google
    We had a mother-son date here recently, but I have visited this location several times before. I'm never disappointed with the service, atmosphere, water scenery and quality of food! I love the empanadas, jerk shrimp, seafood paella, coconut shrimp and seafood pasta! Their desserts are also great! I love bringing family and friends here!

  • 5/5 Daniel F. 4 months ago on Google
    Great food with a good view near water. Staff is super good and knowledgeable. Had Cuban sandwich, salad, and soup. Everything was great tasting. They have small tables or bar you can sit at. The decoration is done nicely inside and out. Prices are fair with the food servings. Recommend coming here to try it out!

  • 3/5 Teddy W. 4 months ago on Google
    Bahama Breeze has always been one of my favorite places, this is my first time going to this Bahama Breeze. I ordered a steak cooked medium, which came out way overcooked at well done almost. The mashed potatoes were good and it had fast service and a great atmosphere and good view of the ocean with a connected dock. Overall decent experience, but was still fun for the family and the great view was enjoyed.

  • 5/5 Kathleen T. 7 months ago on Google
    We had a wait for our table and the bar tenders outside were fantastic. We finally got our table and Sat there for 20 minutes and no one came to serve us. I'm a server and you're supposed to greet your table within 3 minutes So I looked at the bar to see if they had enough seats for us and we moved to the bar. Mean while server's were just standing around. The 5 star rating is because the bartenders made my daughters 30th birthday special. The grilled chicken with cinnamon mashed sweet potatoes was incredible.

  • 4/5 Vanessa S. 11 months ago on Google
    It was a nice place to take the family with outside seating. Our waitress was very nice. Did wait long for a seat but when I spoke to another employee about our wait they sat us right away. Very much appreciated that. Food was good. The salmon was good and the sirloin steak was delicious. Would be nice if they had more hard seltzers available.

  • 5/5 Terrin G. 9 months ago on Google
    This place was phenomenal for our large group of 150+ We had some other food plans fall through and called and got in touch with the them. Within an hours notice she got tables set up and good to go for us! The manager Melanie is awesome and was very accommodating! Showing us around the dockside and everything! Great people and great food!! We’re going back!

  • 4/5 Tera N. 4 months ago on Google
    Food was tasty, drinks were good, view was amazing, service was ok. They were busy and we didn’t see our server before our meal was done. So we didn’t order more drinks or dessert. I would definitely eat/drink here anytime I am back in the area.

  • 4/5 Martha W. 9 months ago on Google
    We had a nice meal here. The inside is really nicely decorated and they have lots of outdoor seating with a great view of the water. The inside was a bit warm. Food was good and they had several kids meal options. The kids bow tie Mac n cheese was really good! The sauce with the conch fritters was also delicious.

  • 3/5 Giuliano D. 7 months ago on Google
    I am biased cause my food was delicious. The seafood pasta was soo good and they were not stingy with the shrimp. However their drinks are super super sweet like inedible sweet. Their chicken has a weird texture. Service was fantastic Jessie was amazing but the drinks needs to balanced cause I felt like I was about to become diabetic after drinking the dragon fruit Margarita

  • 5/5 Manoj K. 8 months ago on Google
    Amazing place to spend time. Awesome food options and wonderful service. Karissa was our attendant today, and she was amazing with quick service with a cute smiling face. Fire cracker shrimps were cooked to the perfect, but I have not liked the Buffalo wings much. It's worth mentioning about the drink Virgin Pineapple Ulimate 🍍(Non alcoholic).

  • 4/5 Barry W. 8 months ago on Google
    Place had a decent selection of food but not nearly as many seafood options as I'd have expected. Food came out pretty quick and was good. Got the Mahi tacos and they were decently portioned. Service was friendly and prompt and kept up with drinks and plates nicely. Biggest gripe was we sat outside on their patio area and there are big fans hanging all over in the ceiling that are very loud and make conversation and communicating with the servers difficult. One was aimed at our table and it was very hard to hear the server over it. I guess that is the price you pay for sitting out in the heat and trying to stay a little cool.

  • 3/5 Erik S. 7 months ago on Google
    Visited for a late dinner with friends and family. Sunday night and they were packed. Service was relatively good and food tasted overall OK. My only gripe was that my burger was way overcooked. Sorry, I do not do well with overcooked beef anything. The food runner immediately saw that upon placing on the table, and like a pro, said will take care of it and took the dish away. I thought they would rush my replacement. Sadly, think they forgot about it. Didn't get to eat it until most everyone were finished. I had to share my wife's dish. I was starving. When the replacement burger was delivered, that too was overcooked but I ate it. I was starving and I did not have the energy to send it back or wait any longer. Been here before where I had a better time. That grill must have been hotter than it should or the cook just overcooks things. Was disappointed. Rest of the party were fine, so they said.

    I was visiting Tampa, and my coworkers took me here. The atmosphere was magical; the location was right on the bay, so I could boats and jetskis while I was eating. I got the ultimate pina colada twice. It was dangerously tasty and I would absolutely recommend it. They do virgin cocktails if you don't want to do alcohol. I had the grilled salmon to eat. It was very fresh, and crispy on the outside. We ate here 2 nights in a row and I would go back any time.

  • 4/5 Char R. 8 months ago on Google
    My favorite boss took me here because I'm leaving. Beautiful view and our server Yvette was friendly and attentive. The coconut shrimp was really tasty but, didn't care for the conch fritters. The chicken was full of flavor and the fish tacos was just ok. I really enjoyed my pomegranate margarita. Very tasty.

  • 5/5 Sherrylynn C. 8 months ago on Google
    Sangria is a little bit watery. And if you have a drink at the outside bar it'll be warm within minutes. Otherwise this is a beautiful fun location and the food is great but the selection is fairly limited at lunch time

  • 5/5 Leintz B. 8 months ago on Google
    Large location. Live music. Great for family, group, and kid-friendly gatherings. Also perfect for a date. Sit outside and you’ll catch a ‘breeze’ by the water. Great cocktails. Wonderful steaks. Try the skirt steak dish with the seasoned rice and beans. It’s delicious!

  • 4/5 Rhonda D. 8 months ago on Google
    There were interesting dishes to choose from. The food was good and not overpriced. The dessert was delicious! The server was good and friendly. I would definitely go back

  • 4/5 Rei O. 9 months ago on Google
    We made a reservation and we got to sit right away. We ordered paella, the churrasco and chicken tostones, everything tasted good. The service was excellent with a nice view.

  • 4/5 Carol M. 9 months ago on Google
    We got a lot of different food and drinks for family celebration. Conch fritters, key lime pie, crab cheese dip, paella, jerk chicken pasta and chicken tostones - order of favorites. "Iced Sweet Tea" is actually just tea with some sugar granulars at bottom. Coconut Margarita is refreshing, big drink. Good price for amount of food/drink. Great atmosphere inside or sitting at bar outside - view of pond, highway and bay beyond. Staff is very friendly.

  • 5/5 Joe K. 1 year ago on Google
    It has become a tradition that every year on our anniversary, we get takeout from this Bahama Breeze. The coconut shrimp appetizer is a great way to start. The grilled salmon is awesome! And, the chocolate island is so decadent! And just as important, their takeout/pick up procedure is so smooth and efficient I was literally in the parking lot only three minutes. The ladies who brought out my complete and correct order were so friendly and helpful too. It might be difficult to wait an entire year before eating there again. Disclaimer, it’s a 50 minute drive for me to get there and pick up the food. Otherwise, it would happen more often.

  • 5/5 Mixhele J. 2 years ago on Google
    It's beautiful with the breeze off the bay and the palm trees lining the patio. Started with the crab and shrimp appetizer. One love drink, and the coconut shrimp tacos. All were amazing. If you don't like really spicy 🔥 food have them put the sauce on the side. Great experience, and affordable.

  • 3/5 Joseph (. 2 years ago on Google
    Nice environment for dining inside or outside. Also always busy, but the wait even when busy tends to be reasonable as the place is quite large inside and out. As for drinks, they look nice coming out to the tables but I have not tried them. The food though is straight up average chain restaurant food. So this review is straight up about the food. Salads to Jerk Chicken may not wow you, but you will likely enjoy the family friendly environment and view.

  • 4/5 T C. 1 year ago on Google
    This place is consistently very good! The good comes out quick and the customer service is attentive and knowledgeable of the food. You can tell the restaurant as a whole is a well-oiled machine. Highly recommend for large groups or small gatherings!
