Seafood pasta
Ae S.

Met at the door with smiles all around and since this was a surprise dinner gave the name and was escorted to the large table for celebration! The waitress was attentive at first, however when another large party came in and then two additional tables (my thought was she was slammed, however still friendly) We ordered a few appetizers, which gave most of us a variety of tastes. Beef Empanadas (good with dipping sauce), Crab & Three Cheese dip (a bit gritty, however good taste - especially with the chips) and Jamaican Jerk Wings (Loved them great spice and flavorful...if you can't take spicy be sure to have something close by to cool your mouth. This taster was pleased with the starters. The main dish of the reviewer Seafood Paella fell really flat. The seafood was slightly over cooked, the mussels were (a couple of them) gritty and the rice did not add anything to the dish. It was bland, yellow rice should show up to support the seafood. I will say in comparison to the Jerk wings which were aggressively seasoned to perfection, and then to get a bland Paella you would think you were at a different restaurant. The space in the restaurant with several large groups was still open and comfortable and every group still had their space to celebrate without over lapping each other. I will definitely come back and order a more flavorful dish.

We really enjoyed this place! The ambiance and food is great for being a chain. Our waitress Pehyton was a delight and you can tell she's been a waitress for a while. Always there when we needed her and so friendly. The food was perfect for our group - enough veggie options for vegetarian and an abundance of seafood options for our fish eaters. We will definitely be back! The only negative is we downed our meals so fast that I didn't have enough time to take photos ‍

Menu August 2023

As my husband said, it's maybe a once a 1-2 year place to visit. Don't get me wrong. The tropical vibes and spacious restaurant with vast seafood options are fun and upbeat, but the food is mediocre at best and quite salty if you ask me. I tried the jerk chicken pineapple bowl, literally served in half a pineapple. Instaworthy, sure, but the sauce was too overpowering, and I wished I had triple the amount of white rice to mellow it out. Yelp told me 3 minutes ago I'm a wine bar fan, and your wine bar fan girl here tried the pineapple coconut martini as well. It was well balanced, but small for $10. Husband had the jerk chicken platter, which came with rice, beans, and plantains. He prepped his stomach for this by indulging in the pina colada, which looked refreshing. The kids' meals were about $7 and plenty of food and came with fruit on the side, as well as an Honest juice box. Service was very friendly. Enjoyed the touristy, beachy getaway vibes here, but the quality of food left something to be desired.

New drink items on the menu

The covered outdoor patio is the best place to be seated! It does set the tone of being in the 'Bahamas.' Open windows, music playing, it's like your on vacation while enjoying fruity tropical drinks. Fiancé took me here for date night and we ordered 2 of their new drinks. I had the guava martini, it was okay. I would not order it again, too sweet for me but others might enjoy it. He ordered the Bruno's smash hit and that was very good. Strong, bold and sweet all at the same time. It was very well balanced. They also offer non alcoholic versions of their drinks so that's a plus if you prefer mocktails. The food was eh. I ordered the jerk chicken pasta, it was edible. Matt ordered the seafood paella and honestly it was probably one of the worsts we've had. We're both of Hispanic descent so this is a bias opinion. It was edible, but not good. Service was okay, pretty slow however it was busy and the staff was nice. The best part of Bahamas breeze was the atmosphere for sure. We'd come back to have more drinks and try the apps!

Cuban Black Bean Soup
Chris H.

Second Bahama breeze visited, the other in Florida. Food was good and service was really quick. It's a franchise. Daughter like the pineapple shrimp meal.

Snapper from Bahama Breeze
Tanya P.

The ambience is excellent, and the vibe is great. The servers are friendly and attentive. Drink (alcoholic) are varied and some unique options. I left the food for last because while the presentation is excellent, the taste is just lackluster for some items that we ordered- flank strak.and jerk.chicken, while good for others like the snapper. Overall would recommend trying it though.

Coconut Shrimp Tacos
Megan F.

Went here for a birthday and service was quick! Loved what I ordered but I wish they had a mango sorbet as an actual dessert option rather than a topping on a fruit cup.

Sinks. Urinal area looking out
Lefai K.

Bahama Breeze is quite breezy, and they have plenty of bamboo leaf looking fans throughout the dining area. Going to Bahama Breeze is always a decent experience for me and I was left satisfied overall. I ordered the Jamaican Stuffed Plantain Bowl which had yellow rice, ground beef, black bean sauce, cheese, all in a whole caramelized sweet plantain. It was delicious. There's not a lot of cuisines that center on plantains, the little brother of bananas, so definitely check out this dish here. Service was good and the overall experience was good. BATHROOM REVIEW: Located past the kitchen, the mens bathroom is spacious. There are several stalls and a small designated area for the urinals. Sinks were plenty, and the overall urinating experience was good. Sit or squat? Sit!

Coconut shrimp tacos
Sarah S.

Went here for a friend's birthday dinner. The food was really good and our server was super friendly and made great recommendations. I had the coconut shrimp tacos which were delicious. I also had the margarita flight. The menu is a little pricey however the food is worth it. I would definitely come back here.

Dragon fruit Margarita on the right
Chris W.

Came here on a weekday probably around 2:30. Drinks were delicious, our food was perfect. Clean restaurant. The fish was delicious. Our server/bartender Bobby was very attentive and personable. We look forward to returning!

Strawberry mojito
Scott B.

Excellent food and drink to remind you of the island life. Seriously, I recommend the Conch Fritters, Blackened Mahi Tacos, Tequila glazed Salmon, Coconut Shrimp, Skillet simmered Jerk Shrimp, Cuban Black Bean Soup and there are many more great appetizers and Entrees. The service is quite good for a restaurant this size and you can always order from the table top Ziosk.

A beautiful spring day, a fantastic open-air patio, 1/2 priced appetizers with a matching happy hour? Count us in! Me and hub-hub were looking for a great spot to enjoy a light dinner this past week, and as we'd passed by Bahama Breeze a few times, this time we caught wind of the opened patio windows and turned in- definitely glad we did. Service was instantaneous, and must admit our waiter on the patio was fast, pleasant, and - for the most part- really attentive- always a plus, which we know will please YOU too. Ok- as we weren't too hungry, we ordered a couple well drinks and a couple appetizers- we got the crab and 3 cheese dip (yummy) and the skillet simmered jerk shrimp - now to be fair, the shrimp tasted great - but the jerk flavoring was a little "flat" (not a bad thing, but not as strong as we'd have expected). For the main, we got two vegetarian black bean/guac handheld "tacos" - which (despite the blowback which would come shortly thereafter at home) was absolutely yummy - wow. This was the only "non-happy-hour" item we ordered. Needless to say - we were impressed! Loved the patio, loved the service, and the 1/2 priced happy hour drinks/apps were amazing- we'll be back - and you should go if you enjoy great service and an island-themed environment!

I used to frequent Bahama Breeze a lot back in Florida when I was a student at UCF, and I can clearly tell that the quality isn't what it used to be. The second we walked in, there was a very foul smell on the inside. I'm not sure what happened, but we opted to sit outside to avoid it. The decor is still practically the same (tropical vibes, colors and what not). Service was great, no complaints. It was a bit busy but our waiter was on it! I wish I could remember his name, as he definitely deserves a raise. He was taking orders, giving recommendations, cleaning tables, all while handling a 10-15 person table right next to us. Hats off to this man! The menu has slightly changed since I last dined-in a few years ago. They've added a couple of new menu items and kept the few favorites. Prices have gone up drastically, but that's the new norm I guess. Here's what we had - Appetizer: Yuca Cheese Sticks - this is a new item. I had high expectations, and was hoping for a cheese pull, but unfortunately that wasn't the case. They tasted like normal mozzarella sticks, but the sauces that came with it (cilantro lime and sriracha aioli) were good. (3/5) Mains: Blackened Mahi Tacos and Coconut Shrimp Tacos. The tacos were alright. The plates were very messy, but satisfying. The meats could use a bit more seasoning as both tacos were rather bland. The fries were crispy and delicious. (3/5) Desserts: Pineapple Cheesecake Empanadas. The empanadas were crunchy and sweet. The filling was alright, but slightly thick. I expected the cheese to ooze out when I took a bite but that did not happen. Still good overall. (3.5/5) ~Till next time!

Is there any live entertainment going on here?

No, at least not provided by the management of the restaurant.

Is this place noisy, can you easily converse without yelling?

Any gluten free options?

I don't believe so...if you check out their website it states specifically they are not. https://m.bahamabreeze.com/menu-listing/gluten-sensitive

The Hideout is an appropriate name because it's hiding in the middle of suburban wasteland. A limited menu because they're out of a lot. You can still get cheap drinks and food so it's something. Coming in here it wasn't crowded. It's located in what looks like an office park. There's a big parking lot and a few offices that look unoccupied. On the corner is this place. The inside is bigger than it looks and there's enough room for groups and parties. It's about $4 for the cheapest cocktails. We each got a margarita. A small one but these are strong enough. The food choices are lamer. It's about $5 to get an appetizer. We got the Chips And Salsa. Great stuff and it was spicy as fuckballs. The rest of the food is meaty. Great place for hanging out and getting cheap cocktails and food. It's located on Valley Lake. There's not much great for vegetarians.

Although Fox & Hound is just down the street from us, we haven't been here in months…read more I forgot how good their standard dishes are, like a good pub burger, tater tots, onion rings, salads, or chicken tenders. They offer a good variety of beers too. We came here for lunch recently and we were seated and served right away. They are already serving a Winter Lager. Fun place for a date night or group too. I am glad they are still in the area, when other similar places, like The Local in Schaumburg, have closed.

Ummmmm okay wow! All the new food and drink additions here are awesome. The only reason I took off…read more1 star is bc drinks are pricey for a suburban bar. The costs are similar to high end unique drinks in Chicago. I was here on a Friday night with a group of 5. Service was very good and consistent. It was great to see this place filled with people since it's been around for a longgggg time. I'm a big fan of the food here and the new items are delicious. It is your typical bar food options for the most part however it is done well. They've also expanded their cocktail menu and have daily specials. Any place that has a green tea shot is awesome in my book! This is a great place to hang out and relax with some friends.
