This place was catching my eye all week! Walking in, it was appealing from the start. Thursday lunch, not too busy. We were seated quickly and Monica took great care of us. She was super friendly and checked in on us frequently with refills. I wish I could have tried more of the menu, but I went for the Cuban Sandwich and classic Mojito. Out starter was the crab cheese dip which was amazing! The Cuban sandwich was perfect, and a big sandwich at that! I could have easily been full with a half sandwich. Rice and beans side was a delicious accompaniment. Atmosphere was quiet and casual, easy for conversation. I can't wait to come back here again! read more

Still a Favorite After 30 Years! I've been a frequent diner at Bahama Breeze for the past 30 years, so it's safe to say I'm a fan! My most recent visit to the Vineland Ave. location near the outlets was for a date night, and overall, we had a really enjoyable experience. We started with several margaritas, and they were vibrant, flavorful, and a great way to kick off the evening. We also enjoyed the yuca sticks and coconut shrimp -- both were delicious. The one big miss of the night was the tostones with chicken. The fried plantains were burnt, there was very little chicken, and unfortunately, there was none of the jerk seasoning that really brings this dish together. That was disappointing, especially since the flavors are what make this appetizer stand out. That said, I'm chalking it up to an off night. One dish isn't going to change my opinion after three decades of enjoying Bahama Breeze. I still love the restaurant, the atmosphere, and the overall experience -- and I'll definitely be back soon! Hopefully the tostones are back to their usual standard on my next visit. read more

Bahama Breeze - Bahamaritas - Bars Near Me - Orlando, Florida

Bahama Breeze is a restaurant themed as if it's in the islands. The outdoor area features fans and garden lights, but unlike the islands, it has no ocean breeze as it's located just off 535 in Florida. Therefore, we opted for indoor seating and the delightful air conditioning in today's 97 degree heat. The food was very good. The Jamaican jerk chicken wings are seasoned well. This time, they were slightly dry instead of perfect like last time. The grilled chicken with cilantro-crema, mashed potatoes and corn remains my favorite dish on the menu. Ask for a side of the sauce too; it's that good. The cheeseburger and fries was standard and okay but unremarkable, which means it was perfect for my mom who is a picky eater and not adventurous. Pro-Tip: if you are headed somewhere with a refrigerator, order the full portion of the grilled chicken with cilantro-cream and take one breast and some mashed potatoes home for another meal. The full portion is only $3 more than the light version, but comes with a second piece of chicken breast. Otherwise, save the $3 because one breast is plenty filling. You could also consider sharing the full portion plate to save room (and money) for apps or dessert. We chose the flaming pineapple butter cake for dessert. It arrived piled high with pineapples and vanilla ice cream on the side. When the server lit the sauce then poured it, the flames danced. However, not all the alcohol burns off. The cake was saturated and tasted of alcohol where it was poured. Warning: Check your receipt. We were charged $2.99 for trivia games we did not play and $0.50 extra for cheese when the item ordered was a cheeseburger listed as coming with cheese on the menu for $18.99. read more

I'm honestly so sad to see Bahama Breeze go! This has been one of my favorite chain restaurants since I was little, and it holds so many memories for me. My go-to order is the jerk chicken pasta, but I also love their drinks, bang bang shrimp appetizer, and jerk wings. There was always a reason to visit, whether it was a night out with family, grabbing a quick bite to eat, or enjoying a late-night happy hour date night. Bahama Breeze had such a fun, tropical atmosphere that made it feel like a little escape from everyday life. It's bittersweet to see a place I've enjoyed for so many years closing its doors. Thank you for all the great food, drinks, and memories! read more

We had gone to Bahama Breeze for dinner. The moment you enter, you are transported to a shack in the Bahamas. Our server was extremely kind and caring, and gave us some very good recommendations. Highly recommend the beef empanadas and virgin pinacolada. The empanadas were juicy and very well seasoned. The jerk shrimp pasta initially tasted average but surprising grew on me. Good food, great music, amazing service, fantastic vibes! read more

I wish there was more of a selection for food. I also didn't like that they cramped everyone together in one room. It was loud and very not comforting. The server was okay. But most of all our artichoke dip was really thick and cold it also took a minute to come but our main dishes were delish I loved the jerk wings and highly recommend them. My husband had the pineapple w rice and chicken and said they did not miss lol read more

Very busy, very big Bahama Breeze near Disney (they are all over Orlando, near the airport, Universal, etc.). Think of it as a TGIFriday's with a Caribbean bent. They do have a lot of seats inside (cool A/C) and outside, and a cool set of generic Bahama/Caribbean island decor pieces, an indoor water feature along a big rock, and a lot of staff helping out. The service was ok with drinks (two different people came over to ask about what we wanted to drink), but did miss giving the three of us a set of utensils and a plate (they brought two sets originally... for three people). Appetizers - The crab cheese dip was ok, but small amount for the amount of chips given. The jerk chicken was quite good, though, solid spicing and whole wings which was nice. The jerk chicken pasta was ok, missed the jerk in the chicken (just felt like regular chicken breast especially given the jerk wings were better flavored). The fish tacos with coleslaw were ok, but the fish pieces were a little dry and the coleslaw overly wet (so it ended up dripping all over and yet feeling oddly dry), so can say I've had better fish tacos. read more

Good laaaawd, that Mahi Mahi was fire!!! And Jason, our server, was so attentive, knowledgeable and kind. Also, not typically a frozen drink kinda girl but a Bahamarita on a hot day is life!

Tasty, fast and friendly service all day around here! The happy hour deals are such a great thing when you're trying to eat and drink good on a budget. I come to Bahama breeze for one thing only (although I know other things are also tasty) and it is the beef empanadas. They are so delicious! I also ordered a pineapple coconut martini which was just right for a restaurant alcoholic beverage. Our waiters were just a doll and may our party have a nice dinner experience. Please don't hesitate to visit. read more

This was another destination that my wife and I tried on our date night. Atmosphere is very nice, has a nice mediterranean feel to it and the staff is very friendly. We sat at the bar and the bartend was very talkative and make some nice recommendations for us to try. I had the jerk chicken wings which they give you the WHOLE wing portion, not just a drumette or flat. The jerk sauce was really good and something you could have drank if you wanted to. I dipped my wings in it as it had both a hot and sweet taste to it. My wife had the skillet shrimp which she said was very flavorful and the shrimp were cooked perfectly. This place had a nice atmosphere, friendly staff, but I can see how the place can get packed pretty quickly which could result in delayed service or receiving food. We would try this place again. read more

This particular Bahama Breeze is located in the more tourist focused part of Orlando and was an overall good experience. I had the jerk chicken and while I won't say that it was the most authentic and amazing jerk chicken ever, it was still good and served by a very friendly server. Bahama Breeze is a national chain. Think of it as similar to an Olive Garden or TGIF, but they have a more Caribbean flair than Italian or American. The overall ambiance here is fun and I had an overall great experience. read more

Touristy but fun looking place. There is a cool beachy Bahama vibe everywhere in this place. Sitting outside is probably the best pace to be, but monsoons were available, so we sat inside. Our server and fun and friendly. The meals all arrived in a timely manner. The firecracker shrimp was lightly breaded with a slightly spicy dipping sauce. I like that it came in a bed of tortilla slivers, to add extra crunch to every mouthful. It was a last minute call, but I am so glad I went with the Chicken Pineapple Bowl. Served atop a bed of rice in a fresh-cut hollowed-out pineapple. Tender chunks of chicken combined with mango, sweet peppers, covered with a sweet tangy pineapple glaze. I am sooo glad I chose this dish. Others at my table got the seafood tacos, which they said were very good. Even the simple cheeseburger with fries were juicy and tasty. This was a great place to hang out with friends and still have a bright and tasty meal. And don't get me st sated on all the drinks. I went with the Painkiller: bright and fresh drink on a hot summer day. It's got alcohol but it's not strong tasting. I'm coming back here the next time I'm in Orlando. read more

My favorite chain restaurant that I seek out when traveling since I've never had one back at home. It's such a vibe in there! I've always loved the big palm fans, indoor water feature, vibrant decor and even live music. What else could you ask for besides an excellent happy hour, well priced appetizers, a good variety on the general menu, best yuca sticks around and genuine staff. Even outside there's always plenty of parking and such a variety of seating arrangements. This place really has it all and I'm actually devastated to hear that the brand is closing or converting all locations. This place deserved to live forever and it will in my heart. read more

Spent the other night here Thursday night. I had dinner with a friend of mine; I've never been to Bahama breeze before. Stephanie was our waiter she was super nice and worked with my food allergies; I was so happy I got to eat here. I have been eyeing the chicken and pineapple and rice bowl and their new cloud nine drink with Boba. I was not disappointed in either of the things that I ordered. The chicken pineapple and rice bowl was sweet yet savory and it was some of the best quick service restaurant food I've had in a while. The cloud nine drink was very refreshing and the only drink I had all evening. My friend had the Cajun pasta which he finished the whole bowl; he ate and left no crumbs. For drink he had a rum runner and their local ale. The ambience of a Bahama breeze is a restaurant with a Caribbean flair this one in particular has a giant fountain in the middle with brightly colored lights up above it which make it super fun. However when I got there around 6 PM I was very busy I did make a reservation in advance and I highly recommend that you do as well. 10/10 read more

I was recently in Orlando for a trade show and for work and I went to this Bahama breeze. I used to go to this Bahama breeze all the time when I lived here back in 2004. And it's still a good time! It always was and it always will be! Service is always good, they always recommend good cocktails that are cocktails of the season, and it's just a really fun vibe inside. The food is always really good. The coconut shrimp is always amazing! And so are the cocktails! read more

We also had the butter cake which I have been thinking about ever since. read more

It's been a while since I've been to Bahama Breeze, but we decided to go on a whim today and I'm glad we did! It wasn't too busy on a Sunday at 2 pm, so we were seated right away. The vibe is very relaxed and I love the tall ceilings that feel like a breath of fresh air. Our server Eric was very welcoming and gave us great recommendations. He kept our glasses full, too! I had the mahi mahi tacos and my husband had the coconut shrimp tacos. My tacos were delicious, as were the rice and beans I chose as the side. The two tacos were more than filling! The tortilla was basic, but luckily didn't overtake the taste or texture of everything else. My husband raved about his shrimp tacos and chose the fruit and sorbet as his side and ate it so quickly I could barely snap a photo! I loved the option for a lighter fruity side. For our two tacos plates and an iced tea, it came to just over $40 including tip, which wasn't so bad, but we definitely chose the least expensive options on the menu. I found everything else to be pretty pricey at $20-$25 a plate, but compared to other touristy areas, found it to be pretty on par. I think it's safe to say we'll be back! read more

Coming back from Tampa, I went on a Sunday evening. There was no wait, and I was seated at the bar near the waterfalls. A friendly bartender asked what I would like to drink and I had to go with the mojito (11 dollars). It was well presented with the sugarcane, lime, and flower. It was also a very sweet, strong, and tasty drink. After a couple sips of that drink, I was definitely feeling the island vibe! My bartender suggested that lighter portion of the cilantro crema chicken (17 dollars) for the entree would be filling enough. It came very quickly after ordering, but it was still a juicy chicken that had the nice tangy flavor from the sauce. There was an ample amount of mashed potatoes with the corn to make it filling. It was a wonderful meal! I skipped dessert as I had sweets at home. My bartender was excellent and made that wonderful drink. The service was very quick that I finished my dinner within 40 minutes after arriving, but the bartender was very nice to let me stay as long as needed to sober up. The atmosphere was casual with the Caribbean setting. The waterfall could have been a bit more powerful, but the trinkle water sounds made it relaxing. I think there is some music during the weekends in the outdoors area. I am so happy I ate here as the food and drinks were wonderful and filling. Unfortunately the calories are high and this is definitely not a healthy food restaurant, but definitely worth the cheat and splurge. I definitely will visit there again, especially when they have the live music as well. read more

Bahama Breeze is one of my all time favorites. The tropical vibes put you right into vacation mode. Anytime I'm in a place with one I have to go! On our most recent trip to Orlando Florida we actually ate here twice since it's so good. They also have live music at night. We got to hear Caribbean music played on steel drums. So fun! As far as the food you can't go wrong! Everything is delicious. My go to's are the Caribbean jerk chicken pasta or the chicken pineapple bowl! If I lived closer to one I'd try many other entrees too. Also the island drinks are great as well! I love the coconut mojito! read more

Virgin pina colada: 5/5 good, sweet Bahamargherita: "it was good"- dad Shrimp appetizer: 5/5 came with bread that was pre sliced partially which made it easy to rip into even slices. The sauce was delicious for dipping the bread. The shrimp were great and I'm saying that as someone who usually doesn't like shrimp. Slightly spicy in a way that lends a warm mouth feeling, not hot hot spicy type. 11 shrimp total. Lobster and shrimp linguine: 4/5 shrimp was salty. Lobster was a bit salty but not as much as shrimp. The pasta and the sauce were at a perfect salt level for me. Creamy sauce that had some basil in it and I think green onion or a related vegetable. Island Grille Steak salad: "I liked it. 4.2/5 " - dad. I tried his steak, very tasty. Grilled Pork chop: "4.5/5, pork chop was too salty" - mom. I agree that it was too salty for sure. Sweet potato mash with cinnamon- gave me a flashback to thanksgiving in a good way. Like it felt like it could be a side dish at thanksgiving. It tasted good. Mom thought the sweet potato mash and the pork chop went well together read more

This place is great! The service was wonderful, the food came out quickly and was HOT HOT HOT! The portions were large, happy hour prices are not something to sleep on, and the drinks are so fun and fruity! I felt like I was transported to Hawaii with one sip of my strawberry swirled piña colada. Great for loud parties, kids after a day at Disney, date night, solo "I want a big ol plate of coconut shrimp" night...really can't go wrong. The cool water feature near the entrance inside was a bit gross (that water definitely needs some love), but it was still pretty to look at. read more

Bahama Breeze is one of my favorite places to eat what I'm in the Disney World area. There are a lot of chain restaurants in this area, but this one is unique serving fresh food and delicious flavors. I come here for the lunch specials, or happy hour which are a great value. I tried to order something new each time I come since their menu is vast. One of my favorite things here are their unique mocktails. I don't usually have to wait for a table as they have a large seating area. Parking at is easy as they have their own lot, prices are reasonable, and service has been great! read more
