    Shrimp Pineapple Bowl, Fried chicken and Johnny cakes
    Julian W.

    Came here as a backup since Cheesecake Factory had an outrageous wait time and glad I did. I usually have lower expectations for chain restaurants but this place has good food, reasonable prices, and I haven't had to wait to be seated yet. The drinks are very good - the painkiller has actual coconut flakes which is a nice touch. The food is unique and tastes great. Service is usually good.

    We had a great time this trip and out server was great. I think her name was Neicy. We tipped her 25%. The place was comfortable and the air conditioning was freezing. Anyhow, we had these empanadas - which were pretty good but it's like they were experimenting with spice--curry and coriander and didn't know where they wanted to land. There was some meat inside and vegetables. The jerk wings were delicious. There was a burger at the table and a chicken dish I can't remember that came with mashed potatoes. Go here particularly if you are in the area or need a place to stop off the highway and don't want rest stop fare.

    About a week ago, I came here with my family for my birthday. The food, drinks, and atmosphere at Bahama Breeze is what always brings us back, but the reason why we don't come back as often is usually due to the service. The service here isn't terrible, but kind of... strange. I know I talked about some of the previous instances in my last review, but this time, our service from our server was weird. I will give him some benefit of the doubt: I am almost certain he just started. You could tell he was nervous, but one of the weird things he did was recommend us the "customer favorite" drinks AFTER we ordered what we really wanted. Maybe they get some sort of bonus if they sell certain drinks? Idk.. Another thing he would do is sometimes just have really random, and very awkward small talk conversations with us. I mean, I get being nice and all, but the long pauses when he would try to talk to us just made us feel very uncomfortable. Not to mention there were times he would just watch us at our table, and it wasn't even a slow day. There were a good amount of people there and he had other tables. Now this last thing he did is the main reason I'm not giving my last dining experience a 5 star rating. After we were done eating, my mom and I had to go to the bathroom. We decide to go, leaving my dad at the table and I still had my drink that I was gonna finish when I got back from the bathroom. When I get back, I see our server BUSSING the table. Mind you, my dad is still at the table so it's not like we had already left. He literally tried to take my drink (that was mostly full btw) and we didn't even ask for the check yet!! After that happened, the staring and waiting by our table increased. We felt rushed and as if he wanted us to leave. I do remember his name, but I won't put it on the review because I do truly think these were rookie mistakes. Hopefully, he will get better with time.

    Love coming here the service here is always welcoming and friendly. Family friendly ambience, casual. Definitely gives you a taste of the islands. The jerk shrimp was mad well and so are the classic jerk wings. The drinks here are pretty sweet. The dragon fruit margarita was way too sweet for my liking very pretty but way too much sugar in that drink. The second drink I had was way better more rum less sweetness so it did the trick. Very nice place even nicer service.

    Service was great but food was average. I had the Cloud 9 drink and the crispy honey butter chicken sandwich.

    Bahama Breeze is one of my favorite restaurants. Food is amazing!! You can definitely enjoy some great drinks. This particular location was busy at the time of visit but didn't lack on customer service, which is a big plus for me. This location is great, highly recommend if you're in town visiting. Close to mall and other outings to enjoy!

    After returning to Delaware to collect my winnings from my super bowl bets, my family and I decided to stop at the Christiana Mall and stumbled upon Bahama Breeze. The only one in Maryland closed years ago, so locating one just a little over an hour away was a pleasant surprise. It has been over two years since I last visited the restaurant, needs to say I was super pressed to enjoy their tasty cuisine. This location observed all Covid protocols, distance seating, masks until at your table and constantly cleanings by the staff. They even had those tabletop kiosk, where you can order and pay your check. I felt confident that my family was safe eating here. The food, with is Americanized Caribbean, was just as good as I remembered it. Everything was fresh and cooked perfectly. The prices are also very affordable for the portions. I will definitely be dragging my husband back here very soon!

    Bahama Breeze used to be a place I and friends would visit frequently when we had a location in Towson MD. However, it closed awhile ago and this was my first and assuredly last at this location in Newark, DE. Our server was extremely sweet and had a bubbly personality and helped us choose our meals. But; the food wasn't that great nor were our drinks. It was a pleasant atmosphere with plenty of parking. But, the menu wasn't very appealing and I opted for a burger. Hubs had the honey chicken sandwich special which was fried way too hard and the conch fritters were also undercooked. We traveled a great distance to be disappointed. Maybe it was just a bad day.

    HH specials 4-6

    Parking is ample. This Bahama breeze is at the mall but not connected. Service is quick. And the food was really good. They have an amazing HH MENU and a lot of specials. I will certainly be back they room was clean and the lighting was nice. This is actually one of the best-kept facilities.

    Dinner was great. Very welcoming environment and it was nice. Awesome service and with a smile

    fried plantains!!
    Cindy S.

    The seafood paella was great! It was flavorful, and I appreciate the amount of chorizo, scallops, and shrimp it had. I've also had their fried plantains before & they're delicious-- they do them right. However, the jerk wings were dry. They were served with a sauce, though, so that helped it out a bit. I also tried some of their baby back ribs which were also somewhat dry. The dragonfruit margarita just tasted like a limeade. I'm not sure what else they put into it but calling it a dragonfruit margarita is a bit of an overstatement. Overall, if I were to visit here again in the future, I would try different menu items.

    I generally don't give 4/5's, and I was reluctant after I sat at the bar for a good 10 minutes and…read morenone of the bartenders paid me any attention. (I actually thought about walking out). Instead, I allowed patience to prevail....I ordered their wings. They looked different than your average wings, so I figured give it a try. They were/are absolutely heavenly. Not sure what they do with them. They don't seem fried, but they are HUGE, succulent, and served with a big pepper and onions, two of my best friends. The wings came out hot, and they were so plentiful, I had to box my order because I was full. (Okay, I filled up on beer. Shoot me. I love beer, and their tap prices are so low compared to NYC). I also ordered fries, and I'll be damn, they were great as well. 4/5 experience. There was a male bartender who was clearly caught up in himself and I could tell he felt like I was competition and he completely ignored me. Cool. No problem. I was able to gain help from a really nice female bartender who waited on me despite dude's responsibility at my section of the bar. I'll definitely come back when traveling through Delaware. Sorry that Nordstrom is now closed. But, this spot is super solid. They have plenty of monitors. My only issue is that I walked in on a sunny July day at 6:00PM and the inside is so dark, it took about 15 minutes for my eyes to adjust. Cool spot. I'd bring a casual date or partner while passing through on I-95. Now that Nordstrom is closed, I have a good reason to stop by. The bang for the buck is amazing in today's age.

    Nice vibrant place to grab some happy hour specials at the bar or enjoy a night out with family or…read morefriends. Lots of parking available and seating too. There is a bar area with some booths, as well as a large dining space. If want happy hour you have to sit at the actual bar though. We were greeted by super friendly and very nice hostess. We were seated immediately. Our server (shout it to Chloe) was also friendly and checked in on us throughout our visit. A manager of some sort even swung by to ask how things were going. If you have picky eaters or a large group with varies diets... this is the place to come. The menu is a book! Like it's robust. There are starters, burgers, pizzas, sushi, sandwiches... like it's never ending. When you see a book of a menu you wonder how the quality is going to be since it would be assumed that the kitchen has a massive amount of food that must be made on demand. We were pleasantly surprised by the quality of the food that we had. Well done! Don't be intimidated by the menu. We ordered the potstickers which were tasty and delicious. They do have a little bit of a kick to them. Also ordered the special chicken biscuit sliders served with a side of white gravy. Get these!!! They were absolutely delicious. Highly recommend. Also ordered a BBQ burger with sweet potato fries. The fries come with an icing like filling sauce. Burger was great and fresh. Overall, a great meal and would come back.
