    I'm a little late writing this review, but it's definitely worth sharing! My party of 4 visited Bahama Breeze on Dec. 6, 2025 while in Jacksonville, and overall we had a great experience. The food came out fast, hot, and delicious, which is always a win. The drinks, however, were a bit on the weak side, especially for the price -- they definitely could've used another shot or two . Service was where this place really stood out. Our waitress was friendly, attentive, and on point the entire time. The restaurant itself was clean, colorful, and beautifully decorated, truly giving those Bahamian island vibes . Shoutout to the manager, who was awesome! He came to our table after my friend's wings were fried a little too hard, was very understanding, and immediately had them remade at no additional charge. That level of customer service really made an impression. My visit was a solid 4/5, but the exceptional service pushed it to a perfect 5/5. I'd definitely visit again!

    I've been in several times for happy hour and at least once for dinner. The bill is always great! Brandon was the most recent server who was friendly and attentive and kept an eye on the happy hour clock! The outside patio is great! Inside is a little dark. Bathrooms are clean! The drinks are very tasty and good pours for happy hour prices! The apps are all tasty! Overall a good time!

    Ahi Tuna Salad and Berry Sangria

    Out with the work crew. Seated outside. The weather was perfect! Live steel drummer. A little loud and made it difficult to hear our conversations. We ordered drinks and empanadas and spinach artichoke dip for starters. Very good. For dinner I had the Ahi tuna salad. It very very good!

    Stopped in for a quick lunch and the server made sure we got served in time for work. Love the ordering at the table fie any extra items and paying at the table too. Snapper was prepared perfectly and totally fresh. The seafood chowder with lumps of scallops and whole shrimp hit the spot! The coconut shrimp tacos were the best I've ever had!

    Ok I havent been to bahama breeze since before covid, but their happy hour specials are still the best in town! My friends and I yesterday enjoyed HH drinks ranging from $4 to $6 (my fav was the house marg, my friend liked her berry sangria, and hubby liked the bahama mama). We also enjoyed oodles of 1/2 priced apps! Their coconut shrimp with the mango chutney is the best in town, and the new ahi tuna tostada stack was great as well! Our server Brandin was spot on with taking our orders, knowing the menu, and attending to us. It always feels like a mini vaca having some fruity drinks and delicious apps on the front patio of bahama breeze!

    Jerk Mahi Mahi
    Anthony B.

    Mahi Mahi - DOA Dined at Bahama Breeze on Saturday 05/03/25. The service was extremely slow, lack of attentiveness by the staff, and the food was NOT good. I ordered the new menu item, the Jerk Mahi Mahi topped with a fresh tomato salas, lime vinaigrette and served with yellow rice for $22.99. The wait time was about 30 minutes. The dish looked very good. Beyond that, it was a downward slide. Too much lime vinaigrette and the rice were cold. Although the rice was cold, it tasted very good with the charred tomatoes. The Mahi Mahi didn't make the cut. The Mahi Mahi was hot, but it was overcooked, extremely dry, chewy, bland, and tasteless. This Mahi Mahi had no Jerk and no Caribbean flare. This Jerk Mahi Mahi dish was dead on arrival. Bahama Breeze 10205 River Coast Dr, Jacksonville, FL 32246

    Shoutout to our local community heroes here at this venue! I know that I can always count on the staff to be pleasant, the food to be amazing, and the ambiance to have chill island vibes! I truly appreciate the hospitality felt here. The food has the proper flavors and textures that I enjoy from Caribbean food. The drinks are amazing because of the combinations, variety, and flavors. The sangrias are easily some of our favorites. The proteins here are masterfully prepared and accompanied with the perfect sides. Savory black beans, tender seasoned rice, and amazing sauces!!! I like my favorite go-to's, but I also like to take an adventure with new dishes like crispy chicken and Johnny cakes!! Hubby said the seafood paella is so good that he would eat the shells if it were possible! That meant it was proper!! I can't help but chill and sway to the music! The staff is amazing! Professional, personable, and joyful. I know that everyone is very busy, but they are attentive and friendly. I look forward to coming here to chill and enjoy the food.... It's bussin!!

    Conch fritters
    Stephanie S.

    Food was Empanadas, Conch Fritters and coconut shrimp as appetizers. All were very good. I've never tried Empanadas before, I really enjoyed them.Shrimp were crisp and tasty with a sweet fruity mustard tasting dipping sauce. The fritters were good but a little mushie for my pallet. Friend had the Pineapple rice bowl. She said it was delicious.

    Mahi mahi
    Eddie H.

    Came for dinner and was seated right away. The waitress was fantastic and service was top notch. The food came out within 10 minutes after ordering. The snapper and the mahi mahi were new on the menu. Both had very good flavor. Both fish were not super fresh. They weren't bad but not as tasty as a fresh fish. If you look at my pictures the plate looked a lot better than it tasted. Place was clean.

    We wanted to have lunch at someplace new. Since my husband is a whiskey lover he wanted to check…read morethis place out. It's a free standing restaurant in the St. John's Shopping Center. We were immediately impressed when we went in; lots of dark wood and a long bar with shelves and shelves of spirits. There were mostly bourbons and whiskeys. They even had a rolling ladder so bartenders could reach top-shelf bottles. We had about a 10 minute wait for a table on a Saturday for lunch. The time went by quickly and we were seated at a small wooden table. Our server, Erin, approached us quickly and took our drink orders. I ordered a Blue Moon and my husband had the WC Old-Fashioned. It was made with Evan Williams 1783 Bourbon and he said it was quite good. ($13). For food; I had the Rooster Royale which was a fried chicken sandwich with pickles and hot honey BBQ sauce. It was $16.50, and one of the best chicken sandwiches I've ever had! Even the bun was delicious! I'd planned on only eating half; but I ended up eating it all because it was so good. I also had the homemade chips which were yummy too. My husband had the Reuben which was $19. He said it was really tasty and full of meat. He commented that it didn't get "mushy" or fall apart. He had the crispy potatoes as his side and he raved about those too. We really enjoyed our meal at Whiskey Cake and would definitely return. The only drawback I can think of is that they don't seem to have very many healthy lo-cal options.

First I have to commend Christina, who was our server. A table of eight, she managed us with such grace, professionalism, and outstanding service! With a constant smile on her face, she asked us open questions and was very attentive. Not once did I have to ask for an iced tea refill because she was staying on top of it! The menu, though short with options did have a creative variety. We all tried the cinnamon roll, which I have to say was beyond, and I do mean beyond outstanding. In fact, it was the best cinnamon roll I have ever had with the toasted pecans and the sauce. WOW!! I ended up with the pancakes and eggs, and the eggs were cooked perfectly! The pancakes were were thick and had good flavor. It was a little overcooked for what I prefer, but overall, it was very good. Looking at the other options of what friends were having the food looked amazing. I am not a bacon eater, but one of our table mates had a bacon dish that she said was phenomenal. I will definitely be back

I have nothing against this place and rather enjoy it, only drawback is it's kind of expensive. 12 glasses of anything but beer, $22 burgers and up from there.

When we told her it was a party of 6 adults and 3 children she rolled her eyes and seemed unable to handle the task at hand.....which was simply her job. She told us multiple times she had to figure out what to do? Did the restaurant seem busy? No. THE WORST EXPERIENCE EVER. And the best part? I guess to try to make us not want to eat there? (Because who doesn't want the business and money??) she told me they would have to do automatic gratuity for such a big party - absolutely not an issue. She proceeded to roll her eyes again when I told her I didn't care. She then angrily told us to come back in 10 minutes for her to "figure out" what to do for us. Well, we decided to take our business and money elsewhere to J.Alexander's just a few steps down and was seated immediately, no issues, and top notch service! Stay away from this place if you happen to be a larger party than 2 I guess? So the hostess doesn't have to do her job. Or maybe if you are a person of color as it seemed like she could have been put off by that as well. STAY AWAY FROM THIS PLACE! And being from Dallas, TX - this isn't our first time at this restaurant - the location in Plano, TX - we've visited multiple times with a large party and no issues at all! Way busier and friendlier establishment.
