9.27.2025 I've never met a Bahama Beeeze that I didn't love. I located this location while visiting the outlets across the street. Free parking lot parking, spacious dining area, beachy décor, kind employees. Hubby and I ventured into this establishment and sat at the bar. The bartender (Aurianna) assisted us, and she was great. Collectively, we ordered the Jamaican Jerk Wings, Grilled Chicken Entrée, Painkiller, and Bahama Mama Mocktail. Alllll stellar items. The food was prepared perfectly. Hubby and I devoured it. Everything was seasoned and cooked wonderfully. The beverages... AMAZING! I highly recommend this location and would 100% visit again if nearby. read more

Bahama Breeze - Great dinner !! - Bars Near Me - Lutz, Florida

So disappointed with Happy hour changes. My favorite Jerk wings are no longer half price nor the classic wings, now $12.99. I ordered the Crab and 3 cheese dip with tortilla chips and sent it back because it tasted like a bait bucket. I reordered Spinach dip which was just okay. I also ordered Coconut Shrimp and they were overcooked and barely warm. I asked about their Conch Fritters if you can taste the Conch and server said it's mostly breading. Beer prices $5 for 14 ounce drafts $6 for 20 ounces. Server was terrific but we're not coming back. The Restaurant is selling out anyway and going away as most Bahama Breezes. read more

I had the Honey Butter Crispy Chicken Sandwich Combo with a side salad. The sandwich was impressively huge, so big that I took it out of the bun and ate it without the bun, dipping it in the honey mustard. The chicken was very nice and moist; the skin had a very good crunch. The salad, on the other hand, was not great. The tomatoes were fine, as were the cucumber slices and the seeds(pumpkin,maybe), but the lettuce, not great. Some of it was a little brown on the edges. There was a piece of crunchy garlic toast standing up in the side salad. It was very similar to a piece of melba toast. Nice crunch. Our waiter was very friendly, and checked on whether we were enjoying our lunches, but he did not come by with a water pitcher for refills. Sadly for Bahama Breeze, the restaurant was not busy; I was hoping for a water refill while we sat and chatted after lunch. read more

We stopped here for lunch. A very nice place, not busy at all during our visit. They offer a number of lunch combos. I had the Half Cuban sandwich combo. As a side you have a choice of house salad, Cuban black bean soup or Bahamian seafood chowder. I had the chowder and it was very good. Maybe a bit too salty. The sandwich looked a bit sad, but it was actually very good. Cuban bread with ham, roasted pork, Swiss cheese, pickles and mustard, all hot pressed. Our waiter was friendly and attentive. read more

The server was great, and the food was not bad either. However it did need a little more seasoning. This was my first time at this location as I normally go to the one on the water in Clearwater. It was super cute. They had the Christmas decor outside and the tiki fires were lit. The patio was nice, but it was not heated so we decided to sit inside. It was a little cool that night. We were seated immediately and did not have a reservation so that was great! I would definitely recommend going however, if you have a large party reservation is probably a good idea. read more

We were headed to the Cheesecake Factory but since it just recently opened the wait was "forever"! My son and his wife just moved into their new home and we wanted to celebrate. I suggested Bahama Breeze. My son said he was there once a long time ago and wasn't a fan but we went. Happy to say he is a fan! We sat outside and it is always a nice ambiance, tropical and fun. I have to admit since my grandson was with us, he was the one being photographed. We all enjoyed the appetizers and our meals. I had the jerk shrimp pasta and it was good. I won't rave about because it had one particular spice in it that I didn't like BUT that's my taste. My son said it was very good, as we all try each other's dish. The back up plan went very well even though I think it's not really a back up plan for us anymore. My grandson enjoyed the coconut shrimp and the sliders as you can see from the photo. 2 fisted burgers with ketchup. ( I purposely edited the picture ). read more

I'm Uber sad that the Bahama breeze chain will be closing April 5. I've had a lot of happy hour memories here with a couple of friends over the years and it's genuinely been a core memory for me as I navigate my adult life post college. My friends and I frequent this place as we prefer the half off apps and half off selected alcoholic drinks. Today we went for the Bahama Rita and two app choices. The coconut shrimp was super good and the chip and crab dip was also very nice. My friend and I stayed here for us all three hours just sitting at the bar and chatting away. I enjoy the atmosphere here because it's a blend between people right after work families celebrating milestone moments people celebrating their retirement parties as well as fresh grads. Who've just turned 21 enjoying the happy hour life. read more

Bahama Breeze is always a great go-to spot for happy hour (4pm-6pm). They have some really great cocktails if you enjoy something fruity and sweet. The appetizers you also get as a happy hour deal are delicious as well. This time around I got the Beef Empanadas, which are flavored with Caribbean spices and seasonings and, while piping hot, almost melts in your mouth. Would recommend if you're looking for a happy hour spot with great food and drinks! read more

It's been a while since Bahama Breeze was on the menu. I remember making a way in this world and this was actually a treat and used to be excited for a meal. I didn't know Darden was shuttering them all until last week. Sadly nothing was remotely as good as memories. Our server was attentive and made the evening enjoyable. I applaud the team as they were still all in and I hope that they are taken care of during the transition because the atmosphere was still fun. At least the drinks were still good, but I can see why they are closing. Most of the food was either over cooked or just unappetizing. RIP Bahama Breeze i should've kept the memories from times gone by. read more

We went with a group of friends for a nice dinner and sat outside - they have a very nice fire pit out on the outdoor patio and provided a nice ambiance!

Two words: HAPPY. HOUR. This is the place. Hands down the best happy hour in Wesley Chapel. You can sit inside or outside, whatever is your vibe. You are on island time the second you walk through the door. Jai Alai is on draft here, don't miss out on a $4 20 ounce draft. The appetizers are half off, as well. We absolutely love the shrimp appetizers- literally all of the shrimp appetizers. The coconut shrimp is some of the best ever. We also love the skillet shrimp which is super filling and has a great flavor profile. The service is always wonderful, truly no complaints. In addition, we tried out the Jamaican jerk wings and they were fantastic !! Super juicy chicken and bold flavors. read more

It's been a while I feel like some of the things are amazing and others are so so. The service was solid and the wait has always been good.

Came in with family for lunch, we have been to many different locations and I am never disappointed. Our server Ciara was excellent. The dining area was clean as were the restrooms. Everyone enjoyed their drinks and the entrees were delicious as always. Only complaint has nothing to do with restaurant or service but the horrible traffic in the area! read more

Bahama Breeze is a VIBE. From the minute you enter it feels like you're on a cruise. You can plan to take a break and a vacation at the same time. I had the Mahi tacos, seafood chowder and fries! It was excellent and our server was AMAZING!. As soon as my drink was close to empty I had another one. They have great priced lunch specials with good portions but you have to ask as its not on the regular menu. We can't wait to come back. Did I mention the music selection was AWESOME! read more

Bahama Breeze is an amazing Caribbean restaurant. From amazing food and drinks to a fantastic aesthetic, it is worth the pretty penny to come and visit. Food- I had the pineapple shrimp chicken meal while my hubby had the Cajun chicken. My pineapple chicken and shrimp came out in a pineapple, the sweet savory chicken and shrimp laid on top of white rice and a variety of veggies. I also had my drink in a pineapple! My fiancé enjoy the flights. Service- The gentleman was very sweet, he recommended the flights and he was right, they are amazing. He was on top of everything! We were also seated immediately when we arrived! Ambiance- The whole aesthetic fits the Caribbean cuisine. The place looks like a giant beach house with beach themed furniture and decor. Our flights also came with a cute sign going over the story of Mama! Perfect place for a special event or and date! read more

Love the atmosphere here! Aptly named, it does have an island vibe. Food and service were very good. We started out with the conch fritters which were light & airy with a nice mango pick. We did lunch combos. My husband had the Cuban sandwich & black bean soup. I had a side salad (healthy portion) and four coconut shrimp. Everything was great! Service was spot on! read more

Bahama Breeze Island Grille Lutz has a great happy hour Monday to Friday 4pm-6pm & Sunday to Thursday 9pm-11pm which includes half off appetizers and $5 frozen specialty drinks! The Firecracker Shrimp appetizer came with crispy battered shrimp topped with Sriracha aioli drizzle on top of shredded chips and is one of my favorites. 10/10 The Tuna Tostada Stack appetizer came with Ahi tuna poke layered with crispy tortillas, drizzled with a zesty lime aioli, served with an avocado lime sorbet. 9/10 The Chicken Tostones appetizer came with Fried plantains, pulled chicken, sweet peppers, melted cheese, tomato salsa. 6/10 The Classic Chicken Wings came with Eight drums and flats sauced how you like with spicy habanero BBQ, classic buffalo, or citrus-mustard. We chose no spice so the kids can enjoy it with spicy habanero bbq on the side for the adults and it did not disappoint. 9/10 The Coconut Shrimp Tacos came with 3 flour tortillas filled with pineapple chutney, tomato salsa, Sriracha aioli and shredded cabbage with a cup of seafood chowder. 9/10 The Coconut Shrimp appetizer came with Six large, crispy shrimp, citrus-mustard dipping sauce. 9/10 The Bahamarita came with frozen margarita - tequila, kiwi-melon, strawberry mango, spiked cactus juice shot on the side. 9/10 The Mojito Cubano came with Bacardí Superior Rum, sugarcane and lime juices, Bacardí Black float. 8/10 The Tequila Sunburn Glazed Salmon came with Topped with pineapple-mango salsa and served with cinnamon mashed sweet potatoes and green beans. 9/10 Our service has always been pretty good although if you come for happy hour and say you're only there for drinks and apps they still ask you 4 times if you want entrees or desserts. Lol no I do not want want that as I said the first time. The Ambiance and interior decor at bahama breeze has a tropical island style with the island style vertical fans and wall art that matched the island style cuisine. The ambiance is very nice at this establishment. Look foreword to coming back for many more happy hours in the future. read more

If you're trepidatious about a Bahama Breeze not by the ocean, don't be! This was a pleasant surprise and during happy hour ALL APPS are 1/2 off!!! (Except chicken wings) Food: we started off with coconut shrimp and yuca cheese sticks. Both very good, but the Siracha aioli with the yuca sticks was like a Caribbean yum-yum sauce- delicious (save this sauce for your fries, tacos, etc.). The blackened mahi mahi tacos are the go-to. As you can see, plenty of meat in each taco! The fries here are not fresh cut, but still really good! Black beans and rice tasted fresh as well. The tequila sunrise salmon was good, but slightly undercooked. They took the fish back immediately and even gave us new sides at no extra cost! Service: our waiter was nice, but only gave 1 water refill, taking extra time to check on us, and once didn't clear a plate at the edge of the table that was obviously ready to be taken. The service was unfortunately the only downfall, but still wasn't terrible (3/5). Ambiance: a great, open space made this my favorite dining area for a Bahama breeze I've been to (it just needs the ocean). And they have live music all weekend! Overall: Only $100 for 4 people with apps drinks and meal! You have to come here for happy hour (M-F 4-6 pm) and enjoy a great meal. read more

Wanted to avoid the May 5th taco and margaritas and eat and the Breeze. They didn't have any special but offered happy hour on selected days and times. We started with drinks and appetizers, which are always ac hit. The painkiller was good. A creeper! Took a star away because our silverware and plate had food debris on them, and we had to ask for replacements. You'd think the person rolling the silverware in the cloth napkins would see this before rolling them, but hey... There weren't a lot of people on a Sunday evening/holiday/graduation, which was great. Will definitely come back for happy hour and half off apps Monday-Friday 4-6. read more

Delicious lunch on a Saturday. We were seated quickly and the service was great. Our waitress was kind, patient, and helpful. The food was delicious, as always. Such a shame Bahama Breeze is closing. The food is consistently tasty and service is friendly and prompt. You also can't find these types of dishes at such a good quality and reasonably priced anywhere else. read more

I've been to the Bahama Breeze in Rocky Point a few times, but this was my first time to this location. Stopped by here after work for a quick birthday celebration with my friend since they are open decently late compared to the rest of the area, and it's always a fun, feel-good vibe at Bahama Breeze. Although I wouldn't say the food is Michelin star standard, they've got a wide variety of options and Ive always enjoyed the food. Service was quick and friendly, and even though it was just the two of us for tonight, they are known for accommodating bigger groups well, too. The salmon I got was cooked well and had good flavor, and the dragonfruit margarita paired nicely with it as well read more

My mom and I went tonight after a bad experience at another local restaurant for a quick snack. First we asked to sit outside (where there 20+ tables open) and were asked to wait while they cleaned a table which was just odd. That being said we got a young waiter who struggled with checking in (for example we ordered ice tea, I really needed some sugar packets and a straw which it took me almost ten minutes to ask for since he didn't come back by order stay long enough for me to ask when he dropped them off). We only got 2 appetizers - jerk skillet shrimp and crab dip. The jerk skillet shrimp really lacked flavor (it was salty), the cuban bread was good. The crab dip was so over seasoned and salty I still need some water to try to recover that and the cheese on top was overly browned so it was hard and had to be peeled away to eat vs. being able to scoop and get a good cheese pull. It just wasn't our night for food! Outside area was nice though with cool breeze as the rain was just starting to come in. read more

We had a really disappointing start to our visit at Bahama Breeze, but the manager, Babs, completely turned the entire experience around. From the moment she stepped in, she handled everything with professionalism, kindness, and urgency. She made sure all of our food was corrected and brought out quickly, solved every issue without hesitation, and truly went above and beyond to make it right. What stood out the most was how she treated our family. She treated us, and especially our children, with genuine care, respect, and attentiveness. That level of customer service is rare and so appreciated. Because of Babs, what started as an awful experience ended on a very positive note. Bahama Breeze is lucky to have her leading the floor. Thank you, Babs! read more

Bahama Breeze is the real deal. I want to especially shout out Jesse for his awesome customer service. It is always a joy to come across someone that loves their job and it showed!!!

I've had good meals here and I've had bad meals here, but never a great meal. The servers are usually pretty good, but sometimes they all seem to miraculously "disappear". It's not my first choice, but it's also not the worst choice. It just seems okay. read more

Had an excellent meal at Bahama Breeze by the Tampa Premium outlets. Service is fantastic and the food is nice and fresh. I started with the coconut shrimp which was delicious. For my meal I had the Tropical chicken salad: Sliced grilled chicken, fresh pineapple, red grapes, strawberries, mandarin oranges, goat cheese, candied almonds, drizzled with Island vinaigrette. Also very fresh and plenty of food. Parking is available in front, it does get busy on the weekends. Nice and brightly decorated. Very large dining room and a bar that has an inside and outside area. read more

It was just ok. We had to sit outside because there was a weird sulfur smell going on in the inside dining area that the host told us was coming from some kitchen equipment being cleaned out.

Friendly staff. Great food. Get the Jerk Shrimp or the Jerk Chicken Pasta. Tuna stickers were also killer. But the staff was kind and helpful, from bartenders to servers to management.

First time at this location, came in on Saturday brunch time. Place is gorgeous and spacious. Service was very nice and friendly. I have been to Tampa location and this location seem more spacious. We made reservation for 4 people. They have zero proof drinks and all were really good, one person was allergic to pineapple so they made one without pineapple. Drinks were very sweet even the lower calorie once. I had Mahi Mahi tacos with side salad and we started with seafood chowder. Both dishes were really good. We definitely enjoyed them. It is not an upscale place, but if you take price into consideration it's a pretty good deal. Definitely recommend. read more

I went her on a lunch date with some family and we enjoyed the atmosphere with its tropical relaxing vibes. I immediately wanted to order something tropical so I opted for the virgin Ultimate pina colada. The ultimate part is the strawberry frozen added inside that you see when you store your drink. Very cool, and very tasty! Then I ordered the coconut shrimp tacos and a side salad. I was impressed with the lunch combo menu section and the prices were very reasonable! Our food came pretty quickly and I enjoyed all of it. Even the side salad had a tropical vinaigrette that I enjoyed. I also like that there is a whole section of the menu that showcases their offering of "virgin" themed cocktails and frozen drinks for those of us who don't consume alcohol at noon. The bathrooms were neat though the paper towels did need to be refilled. Over all we thoroughly enjoyed having lunch here and I will definitely be back soon. read more
