Service was decent. It felt like honestly we didn't even need a server considering our server legit placed our order on the tablet machine in front of us. Ambiance was pretty chill considering it was national margarita day. Food was good . Tostones was filling. read more

2/8/25 (Update) We stopped in for dinner. Surprisingly, it wasn't crowded like it used to be on a Saturday evening. Maybe because we were expecting a snowstorm. -Cocktails, we started out with a Guava Goose Martini and a Titos Beachside. Both drinks were rather on the sweet side. -Food, we ordered Conch Shell Fritters, Firecracker Shrimp and Grilled Salmon. The food came out quickly. The fritters were just okay. They weren't as good as they used to be. The grilled salmon was good. The French fries were terrible. The Shrimp was just fair. -Dessert- We shared a Key lime pie. Have had much better. I don't know what happened here. The drinks and the food used to be really good. At least the service was very good. A large parking lot is available. 2.5 Stars. read more

Came to Bahama Breeze, in order to meet up with a friend that I haven't seen for 40 years. We dined at the bar and our server/bartender, Matthew, did a fantastic job throughout the entire meal. My Cocorita (Sauza Silver Tequila, cream of coconut, pineapple and lime juices, and actual delicious pieces of coconut) was AMAZING. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND this drink, it was served in a HUGE glass and it hit the spot. We had Bean & Guac Tacos and the Jerk Chicken Pasta. Both entrees were delicious, flavorful, and filling. This was my first time sitting at Bahama Breeze's bar and I recommend doing the same. Especially, during Happy Hours (Monday-Friday: 4:00PM to 6:00PM and Sunday-Thursday: 9:00PM to 11:00PM). read more

Writing a review for this restaurant after many months, doesn't mean I haven't been here... it is one of those restaurants where we both agree in a moment (and don't discuss for 40 minutes on where to go?) I normally come here for its half-price appetizers on weekdays... and this is the sum of those numerous visits... Some of my favorite items are * Firecracker Shrimp - crispy fried shrimp and love the sauce that comes with it * Skillet-Simmered Jerk Shrimp - Large shrimp, garlic-thyme butter, served with warm Cuban bread. I love dipping bread in the gravy that comes with it * Crispy Conch Fritters (its new addition)- Six fritters filled with conch, corn, and bell peppers with pineapple-mango salsa and island tartar sauce for dipping. * Jamaican Jerk Wings- Crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside wings, served with Jerk BBQ sauce Drink- I always go for Draft Blue Moon and my wife goes for Mojito or Bahama Rita The crab cake was there earlier in half-price appetizer section but I have seen their menu changing multiple times- (coming here since 2015) The ambiance is always a classy, tropical feel. Service is great and the food is awesome (Despite being a chain restaurant) read more

I came to this restaurant with another adult and two kids, and it was very accommodating in providing us a booth for the children. Our waiter was kind and patient. There were so many options to choose from of different Caribbean dishes (primarily Jamaican). I loved seeing a chain restaurant with Jamaican food and other popular Caribbean dishes. I ordered the Jamaican stuffed rice bowl with orange juice, which was super super delicious and flavorful with cilantro on top. I highly recommend ordering it . The cocktail list is super expensive. I look forward to coming back with friends for happy hour or a cocktail night. Please keep in mind that the games on the electronic menu have a fee that will be added onto your receipt. The ambience is family, friendly, and island themed read more

Stopped by after some Christmas exchanges/returns and it was a good experience! Service was good, food was delicious, the place was spacious. I had the beef empanadas for an appetizer, which were very flavorful with a great dipping sauce. The grilled chicken with cilantro crema as my main was very, very flavorful. Loved that it came with plantain chips! read more

I will say we had two servers one was showing the other how's to become a server and they were both very great. They were up beat and thought we knew what we wanted to order they definitely were able to convince me and my boyfriend to get the pepper shrimp appetizer . That tasted way better than the three cheese crab app we decided to get. The three cheese crab was still good but their recommendation was in fact better. The place is really nice the food is really good and i love how it is an infusion of all the Caribbean places. I've been here before and is where i got my favorite drink that I order literally everyday "Bahama mama" i decided to show my boyfriend this place and he absolutely loved it. read more

Bahama Breeze - Three cheeses Crab Dip - Bars Near Me - Wayne, New Jersey

Bahama Breeze is one of my favorite places to dine...staff is friendly and service is good. Ample parking outside. Inside, the decor makes one feel like being in the Caribbean. The menu is huge from so many options to choose from. Love the spinach dip appetizer...a must have every time I'm here. Other favorites are the shrimp quesadilla and lobster and shrimp pasta. Both are very good. Onion rings are delicious as well. Full bar and a plenty of drinks to choose from - whether in the mood for a magarita, colada, or any of the drink specials. Save room for dessert if you can...or take it to go. Love that one can make reservations online and no long wait than if you come to dine without a reservation. read more

Good proportions and good service! The decor is very touristy/chain food adaptable. I liked the open kitchen concept at this location though. The food is fairly priced. I really enjoyed the pineapple bowl but I like their shrimp tacos better. The bowl lacked a lil bit of flavor but overall it was good. Very family friendly. 8/10 read more

Bahama Breeze - Jerk Shrimp Pineapple Bowl - Bars Near Me - Wayne, New Jersey

The place was packed. Staff all wear masks. Was seated pretty quickly, had no reservation. The menu had so much to choose from. They placed a tablet on the table to give me a visual of all the items. I went with the fire cracker shrimp for the appetizer and tasted one, not only was it over cooked. So I went for the jerk shrimp and that was outstanding. Very flavorful and perfectly cooked; they serve it with a side of warm Cuban bread. Dip that sucker in the buttery sauce and man that's an awesome appetizer in itself. The burger was cooked perfectly and the onions, lettuce, cheese and brioche bun all blended so perfectly that no ketchup was needed. The tostones were perfectly cooked and salted. I got some limes, cause that's how I love them. The coconut shrimp taco was good too, I didn't use the sauce that came with it, was happy with it. OCTAVIA WAS FREAKING AWESOME. Made me feel right at home and for this reason I am giving this place a five. She made suggestions on what goes well with what. You can tell that she has passion for what she does and gets happiness from seeing customers satisfied. The food as good as it was to me was only 2.5 to me. It was Octavia that made it a five. read more

Its a rainy Saturday, and the hungry diners enter this rather dark Bahamian eatery, mouths watering for Caribbean style food. Long story short, they were delighted. The Bahamian Seafood Chowder was delicious, velvety smooth, with nice pieces of seafood. The beef empanadas were a crisp, golden brown and packed with cumin spiced beef. The conch fritters were delicious, but with little to none of the eponymous mollusk. The paella was terrific, albeit overly generous. Note to self: SHARE. Their taco-type salad did not disappoint. It was expectedly noisy, always a negative with me. The drinks were very good, but the bartender said they couldn't make a Negroni (gin, Campari and sweet vermouth). The server? Terrific! Friendly, welcoming, and attentive. Good job. So five stars, minus noise and bar equals four stars. read more

We came here with intent to go somewhere else but glad we went because it was happy hour!!!! And our server Vinny reminded us about happy hour and went above and beyond. He was so amazing that this experience makes me want to come back sooner than later. I appreciate his attention to detail, keeping the table clean and glasses full. So nice to go out to eat and the server is happy to come to work and help you. Spoke to the Gen. Manger Tyler who was there and shared this compliment with him since I usually have a complaint lol but not this time. The food was hot and veryyy good. The drinks weren't weak. Had ultimate pineapple and guy had lemonade and both were soooo good. Thanks again. read more

I had to send you a message to tell you what a wonderful job Jordan did in creating the best atmosphere for my event. It was a gathering of people I have worked with since 1989 and all we wanted was a place to gather, have a few munchies as well as some alcoholic beverages available for purchase. Jordan was MORE THAN accommodating and the wait staff that helped out during our event were THE BEST I have ever dealt with. They were constantly available to take orders as well as replace our appetizers and soda/water. I've done a few of these events and this, by far, was the best. Everyone couldn't stop complimenting me for the wonderful service and how everything was perfect and even though he didn't have anything to do with the weather, that did not disappoint either (the event was held on the indoor/outdoor patio). Again, thanks to Jordan for making our day FANTASTIC!!! read more

Had a fantastic time. Our waiter Kevin was amazing! He was attentive and so friendly. The food was delicious. It was my second time at this location, and it was better than the last.. The frozen pineapple was the table favorite! The fried shrimp app was so flavorful. The ribs succulent, and the guava bbq sauce was perfect. I would definitely reorder everything, including the jerk chicken dinner. Just wish it came with a spicy jerk sauce. Other than that, we will return. read more

Walking into the restaurant felt like I was somewhere along the shore which I loved as it reminded me I was eating near a beach. Our waiter was nice and helpful, but took forever to get our order, especially our checks. After we were clearly done eating, our waiter would pass by our table and not give us our check. We had to wait around 20 mins until the waiter finally came back around again to ask for the bill The food was not bad. We ordered the Black Bean BBQ Burger and the Seafood Paella. The burger had a mild spice to it, but had zero BBQ flavor at all. The patty was alright, but a but dry. However I did like the bun as it was soft as well as the side of fruit. The fruit and the veggies inside the burger was fresh. The paella tasted a bit salty but not that bad. read more

Me and my coworker went on a Friday during lunch and while there was a relatively medium amount of people the food came extremely fast. I will say that what the food lacks in excitement the appetizers most definitely heighten in experience and flavor. Nothing about our meals was innately bad per se, but I will say that me and my coworker both agreed that we enjoyed our appetizers all the more. The appetizers are always to die for and we can say this with the upmost agreement, because knowing this, I wasn't even able to take a picture of the appetizers. We had ordered the chicken, Tostones, the beef, empanadas, and the coconut shrimp. All of which were incredible. Our server was kind and polite- very eager. Overall, the ambience was very chill and upbeat and given a slower day. Definitely still felt like I was in a classic Bahama breeze experience. Will most definitely be back because we thoroughly enjoyed our experience. read more

Deplorable experience and even WORSE service! Let me start from the beginning, I made reservations 2 weeks ago for a party of 8 at 7pm. We all arrived approximately 655pm, and we were told there was a wait for a few minutes while some tables were being cleared because, "ironically", there were 3 parties of 8 expected for the same time. Okay, fine. So, FIRST we were taken to the patio area, which was heated, but we were seated at two separate booths, which were not capable of being combined so that the 8 of us could sit together. We were not pleased, it defeats the point of making a reservation - accommodations are not on US, its on the restaurant. That should not have to be said! We weren't happy, but whatever, we were willing to tolerate it as all 8 of us came from different cities to dine together. Then, the young lady who seated us came back and said 2 tables had just opened on the inside of the restaurant that they could combine so that we could sit together - so for the SECOND time, we moved, walking across the entire restaurant with our menus in hand (as advised). We're finally seated, together, as anticipated. And then, our server, he was awful. Absolutely awful, from start to finish. There were 2 other big parties he was serving, he was very unorganized and disheveled. Out of 8 of us, he got 6 orders incorrect. He made an inappropriate comment to my colleague about her hands being very small (as she was talking to him ordering her food). He also said who are all of you, you have a warm feeling are you nurses and doctors. I do not know if this was his way of being charming or friendly, but it fell flat, especially after neglecting our table for so long then suddenly coming over to take orders with NO APOLOGY for inconvenience or anything. I could go on & on about his horrific service. Moving on to food and drinks, my strawberry mojito (or what was supposed to be) came out with more ice than liquid, it tasted disgusting and as he put the drink down in front of me he proceeded to tell me what was NOT available at the bar that was supposed to come in my drink. Why wouldn't you maybe come back & tell me that before bringing it? He didn't really care, it showed. The server also told my colleague (when she asked if any of the pasta dishes came with marinara sauce) that in the Caribbean islands they do not use red sauce. That was the most ignorant statement I have heard in a very long time. Oh yeah, the hostess who sat us, as she was walking us from the patio to the other seating area said we'd ALL get a free dessert for such an awful experience. When we informed our server he said he'd check and then he came back and said ok what dessert do you all want, once we chose he THEN said by the way, only one dessert is coming. For 8 people?! At that point it wasn't even about any free food, it's the principle of the entire scenario. So much more happened and I do not have the space to share it all but know that I will be escalating this because it was just that ridiculous! I would not go back and would not recommend anyone waste their time or money here. The jerk wings were okay, everything else was bland and lackluster. No saving grace for the evening! read more

Bahama Breeze has since slashed their menu, effectively eliminating a large number of favorite dishes. The last time I went, I was informed that they had removed my favorite, the chicken tortilla soup, from the menu. I was heartbroken. My fellow diners had also noticed their go-to meals had also been removed from the menu. We have not set foot in Bahama Breeze since. read more
