Do NOT convert or close this location please. Perfection is hard to accomplish. This location is always very busy. read more

I recently visited Bahama Breeze and had a really enjoyable experience overall. The food came out hot, fresh, and full of flavor--everything tasted like it was just made, which made a big difference. The coconut shrimp was delicious as always--crispy, flavorful, and definitely one of my favorites on the menu. I also tried the pineapple cake, which was pretty good, though it was a bit overpowered with rum for my taste. That said, it was super cool to see it lit on fire at the table--such a fun and memorable experience! Our waiter was nice and took good care of us, although it didn't really feel like they appreciated our tip, which was a little off-putting. Other than that, the service was still solid. It's honestly too bad they're closing, but I'm glad I got to go one last time. Definitely a nice final visit with great food and a fun atmosphere. read more

You may have heard that Darden is eliminating their Bahama Breeze line of restaurants with some closing and others being converted to other franchise lines. We decided to hit up the Bahama Breeze in Altamonte Springs for lunch before this one got converted to something else. I am happy to say that this restaurant is still maintaining its professionalism up to the end. Everyone was friendly and welcoming as we celebrated birthdays of two in our party. I got the Island Snapper -- a large perfectly prepared Snapper fillet served on top of rice seasoned with mango-avocado salsa. Everyone else enjoyed their meals as well. They kept the iced tea coming up till the end and served the birthday honorees ice cream at the end. I always like Bahama Breeze's tropical vibe. I hope Darden can keep that feel somewhere in their line of restaurants going forward. read more

We had a really good time visiting this location--hopefully not for the last time. Since they're closing, it definitely sucks, so we knew we had to stop by one more time and enjoy it while we could. This time I finally tried the mahi tacos with French fries, and they were a hit. Everything was really good, and I honestly had no complaints about my order. It came out fresh, tasted great, and was exactly what I was hoping for. The only thing was the seating for our bigger group. We were placed in a round booth tucked into a small corner, and it was a little awkward trying to squeeze in and get comfortable. It wasn't the easiest setup for a larger table, but we made it work and still had a great time overall. And our server, Haley, was very sweet and thoughtful. She was attentive and made sure we were taken care of, which definitely added to the experience. Even with the tight seating, we left happy and glad we came back one more time. read more

Mother's Day dinner. Food was all delicious. Even though they were very busy, our server kept up for the most part. We did make a reservation, but the wait was still 20 minutes after checking in. read more

I hadn't been to Bahama Breeze in a long while. Family decided to celebrate a birthday here and called ahead to reserve a table for 14, although the actual party size was 11. Reservations are for indoors, however, they were able to accommodate us in the outdoor seating. Seating outdoors is wonderful when the weather is nice, and you get the pleasure of live entertainment - someone is playing music and/or singing. The table was ready upon arrival and seating was immediate, menus provided shortly thereafter. We had a team of 2 servers, I believe that their names are Eduardo and Haley F. After about 15 minutes or so they came to take the drink orders. Once those were placed, they came back to take our entree orders. I decided to go with a modified version of the Island Grill Steak Salad - I ordered it without the corn and black beans along with a side of goat cheese. The ordered came out in a time frame that was reasonable for our party size. All of the orders were correct, and everyone seemed satisfied with their food. The portion sizes were quite reasonable as well, some in the party needed to go boxes. Someone at my table ordered the Jamaican jerk chicken wings and those looked pretty good - if I were to come back, I think that I would With permission, my family was able to bring a birthday cake. When it was time, our servers brought it out to us, Eduardo lit the candles and they started the birthday song. Not long after, upon the server's prompting, the guy doing the live entertainment also played the 'happy birthday' song. All told, we were there about 2 hours and 15 minutes on a reasonably busy Saturday night. It seems that things may have improved over the years. They have $7 drinks on the Happy Hour special and 2 for $25 entree menu so it may be very well worth your while to come check it out or give it another try. read more

I came in with my family, as it has been forever since I've been to a Bahama Breeze. It was a slow night, so service was face and friendly. I ordered the Salmon Tostada Salad, in which I had the Salmon Blackened. The cook was good on the salmon, the tostade had melted cheese which was surprising and good. The salad had a vinegrette that added more flavor than I expected. It's disappointing that the doors are closing soon, as Bahama Breeze makes decent food in my opinion, but are more known for their drinks. read more

So Bahama Breeze is closing this year. Our waiter did inform us that this one will stay open through the year then may become The Backyard. Overall, the food was really good. They did mess up our order but the waiter did take care of that. I felt like the service was really good. This location is always crazy busy for whatever reason. I mean, good for a chain? Seriously, shout out to the waiter. read more

I stopped in Bahama breeze today to pick up lunch for my team. I was waiting on a couple of the orders to trickle in, but decided to come in anyway. It was greeted by the kindest young hostess, who directed me to the takeout specialist. She quickly approached me and introduced herself. I let her know that I had a partial order ready, but I was still waiting on a few stragglers. I gave her my phone so that she can see the order herself and she quickly put in the stuff that was definitive. When I finally received the remainder, I handed her my phone to do the same. Within 15 to 20 minutes, my order was ready and my bill was paid. For the amount of food that I received, it was definitely worth it. I ordered the linguine with lobster and shrimp as well as a clam chowder. The clam chowder was delicious on this cold day. The linguine was absolutely amazing and the sauce was yummy too! The restaurant wasn't super busy, but spacious at the time I arrived. I look forward to supporting this business more in the future read more

My husband and I have been dining here for years! When we're in the mood for some Island vibes and delicious, delectable food, this is our favorite place! The atmosphere and music is fun! The service is always perfect It's Taco month, and many people wouldn't think to get Tacos, except at a Mexican restaurant, right? Wrong!Bahama Breeze makes wonderful mouthwatering Fish Tacos and Shrimp Tacos, and they don't skimp on anything. If you're hankering for some great Tacos, you must visit Bahama Breeze. By the way, their Seafood Chowder which is savory and creamy goes perfect with Tacos!! YUM and YUM! read more

We came for their 2 entrees for $25 special. We are so glad we did. Our server made a hard sell for their new dish--Rasta Pasta. We had to try it. Just wow! It is the best dish we have ever had here. We hope they keep it on the menu. It is a spicy African dish with shrimp and sausage served with a spicy cream sauce over fettuccine noodles. read more

Service was good but I felt our server was spread very thin. He would basically ask us a question or bring us something and run away. Food was good. We started off the with yuca cheese sticks and they were very good. The sauces really make it. I got the veggie burger and didn't specifically like it. It came out mushy, but maybe I should've ordered it cooked more. I personally hadn't ever experienced this before but I know it is common to clarify. My burger toppings and the fries were good. My boy friend got the steak and coconut shrimp and really enjoyed that. We ended with the pineapple rum cake dessert. It was good but tasted so strongly of rum. It was basically sitting in a pool of rum. Overall decent experience for a chain restaurant. read more

I am sad that this restaurant chain will be changing as their food and ambiance is wonderful. We are abstaining from alcohol now so it was refreshing to have a Virgin Bahamarita without it costing more than $5 as some establishments like to charge for a mocktail. My partner and I had the two different salmon dishes which were so delicious! My salmon wasn't as dry as I asked for it to be med rare and it was moist and delicious! Our server Allie was spot on with our service, giving us just the right amount of attention. We found the prices to be quite reasonable and the portions were generous. We just might have to go back one more time before they start the switch in April. read more

Bahama Breeze is consistently good. This was my first time to the Altamonte location, but like others i've been to, it gives you a comfortable relaxed Caribbean feel. The hostess and server were friendly and efficient and the food and drinks tasty. I ordered the Hot Honey Mango Margarita and shared a coconut shrimp appetizer which was yummy and looks just like the pictures which is good since I forgot to take one. I had the Island Snapper as my entrée; it was well cooked and I enjoyed the mango salsa on top. I got mine without the butter and substituted asparagus for the rice. read more

The place has definitely improved in the past two years. Came here for HH after work. We ordered the $7 margarita (strong!) and shots of tequila. Ordered the lobster/shrimp pasta and shared the coconut shrimp. Food was so delicious, and the margaritas were a hit. Shout out to our server Jill - who was so sweet and kind, and made sure our table was taken care of throughout the afternoon. What a great date day with my man. read more

After stating I would never return, my best friend chose BB for our HH. I arrived at 3:50p and we waited till happy hour hit to put in our orders. I only had a pineapple coconut martini which was not overly sweet and had a pleasant taste. The beef empanadas have a stew-like filling rather than the kind my homemade ones are like. They were tasty and the mango chutney gives them an added tang. The yuca fries were good but eat them while they spanking hot so you enjoy the cheese pull. The conch fritters have a good fluffy interior just wait for the pieces of conch which can jar you a bit when eating it. The shrimp with cuban bread is tasty but know the bread is unsliced and it came get a bit tough while sitting in the paper bag but a good soak in the sauce makes it delightful. This location will be revamped with the updates Darden is making which is surprising since this location has always seemed to be very busy read more

I typically get the jerk chicken pasta, but today I tried the seafood paella and I'm glad I did! So now I'm probably going to be getting this going forward lol. My girlfriend had the shrimp pineapple bowl and she loved it. The margaritas were all $7 today, except a few. Our server was Natalie and she was really attentive and made sure we had everything we needed. We had not been to Bahama Breeze in a while and this hit the spot. read more

Love it! We had a wonderful server. We sat at the bar to have a quick lunch. It's located inside the Altamonte mall lot. The food was delicious. The only thing I didn't like was that they don't serve bread on the side. I had to pay xtra to get a mini loaf of cuban bread. The place really felt like your in the Caribbean. read more

Visited the restaurant for dinner. We enjoyed the wings for an appetizer. Then we had ordered a grilled chicken sandwich and an Entre salad. Enjoyed a couple cocktails as well. Restaurant was very busy and clean. When paying our bill, I noticed in the gratuity section the following " Suggested gratuity is calculated after Tax and before discounts". I agree with the gratuity being added before discounts. I DO NOT AGREE WITH TAX BEING CALCULATED AFTER TAX!!! I call this !!! Why should the guest pay 20% of sales tax?? Menu prices have increased double digits and portions have decreased. Hm? This is my second visit of the parent company restaurants. It appears that this practice is in place at the other restaurants as well. Just saying. read more

Bahama breeze delicious jerk chicken pasta! My favorite appetizer has to be the popcorn shrimp with the spicy sauce on the side. Happy hour is where it's at will all the different drinks including bahama mama one of my favorites and the cactus shot was definitely out there with the citrus flavors. Staff here is very knowledgeable about the menu and friendly with a smile to greet you. The music and flavors will leave u wanting more Lovely variety of food choices and tastes of the islands.! Thank you Bahama Breeze. read more

As a Caribbean woman, this is not home cooking. It's edible but not made with the love of the islands... if you like spicy and depths of flavor then there may be a couple of dishes for you. I'd go again for drinks and appetizers but not for a full meal. The service was great. The drinks were good; although the mango margarita tasted more like peaches. The first round of appetizers came out cold with unmelted cheese but they quickly replaced our Conch fritters and Chicken Tostones. Since I was hungry-hungry, I ordered the jerk pasta. It was very good, so with that I'm ok with coming again. Great for groups and now that I'm reintroduced to their menu, I know what to expect next time. read more

Great service, great atmosphere, and great food! I hadn't been here in a while, so I was so excited! Happy hour weekdays 4-6 HALF off drinks and appetizers! We got the coconut-pineapple martini (happy hour) it was strong and deliciously sweet. ($6) The coconut mojito was the best I've ever had, they add pineapple which was a great flavor. ($10) The rum flight was delicious! Had 2 sweet drinks and one not to sweet which was my friends favorite. ($13) The crab dip was amazing! I couldn't stop eating it. The mango habanero bbq wings are spicy and flavorful. Our waitress was phenomenal and made sure we enjoyed everything. I cannot wait to be back! read more

I ate here for a work event, and because it was the start of the weekend it was already pretty busy there by the time we arrived. Once more of us showed up we were able to be seated. When we started off with drinks I tried out the javatini which was essentially a frozen espresso martini. It was very delicious and has a great balance of coffee and alcohol. We also enjoyed some appetizers such as the classic chicken wings and the beef empanadas, but unfortunately they got dug into before I could snag photos lol. The dough on the empanadas was a bit limp & it wasn't as flavorful as I would've hoped. The chicken wings were delicious and had a slight kick to them! When it was time to order our meals we got the Black Bean BBQ Burger (vegetarian), & Crispy Chicken Sandwich. The black bean burger comes with pepper jack cheese and guac on it which really added to the flavor! The patty itself was a bit big for the bun but was still manageable. The crispy chicken sandwich was alright. Flavor overall was decent but nothing that blew my mind. The rest of our group really enjoyed themselves and the variety of specialty cocktails that are offered here, so if you love a good rum or tequila cocktail then this is the place to be, although for food I would say stick to the appetizers. read more

My wife and I took our friend who resides in a memory care facility to this location for lunch on Tuesday March 3. The meal was very good but the extra care he was given was exemplary. He insisted on paying for lunch but when the server ran his CC it came back as only a partial payment. He did not and could not understand the receipt and the why it was a split payment. The server asked the manager, (Alice, or maybe Alex, I didn't hear her name clearly) to help explain it. The manager spent 15 minutes or more very patiently going over the bill many times, each time explaining it in a different way. He finally understood, but only due to the patience and kindness of the manager who pulled up a chair, sat at the table and listened. Kudo's to her. read more

As a local, I try to stay away from chains, but Bahama Breeze is one that just cannot be avoided. The menu offers something for everyone - seafood to burgers to chicken. My party of two arrived around 6:15 on a Sunday evening and were seated right away. We ordered quick and our food came out by 6:40, nice! I ordered the Jamaican jerk chicken, subbing the beans for green beans. My meal was delicious! The plantains were a bit tough compared to other times I've had them, but not a deal breaker. The other individual in my party ordered wing and enjoyed them. Our server was kind and very fast. As we were finishing our meal, live music was being set up. Will be back! read more

First time with the family in a few years! Trying out some coconut shrimp for an appetizer.

It's looks and feels like all the other Bahama Breeze's. If sitting outside make sure you know the temp or you will bake out there. The food was food and my drinks were legit. The best time to come here is during happy hours. The service is always good u man less they are packed then you gotta wait but again plenty outdoor sitting. Thank me later. read more

We had lunch there and the food was excellent as was the service. Quite satisfied. My only complaint concerns the noise level. Music was playing both inside throughout and on the deck. A hostess attempted to get the speaker turned down near our table, but without success. Not only was it loud, but the sound system was very low quality and the result was noise. Very unfortunate. Otherwise a nice lunch. read more
