Desiring to get away to the Caribbean without having to travel far? Well this place just might hit that spot. You get that Island feel and ambiance with the decor, the music, and the food. We've already been to this location a handful of times, so here are a few reasons we keep coming back. The service here has been exceptionally well. We're greeted with a warm welcome upon entering and they're usually able to seat us right away. Our waiters have been friendly, accommodating, and attentive during our dining experience. We've utilized their high chairs for our littles, and they've been helpful in setting it up for us. We're usually here during their happy hour on the weekdays because it's half off their appetizers and some of their drinks are between $4-$7. Our favorite apps are: Beef Empanadas, Yuca Cheese Fries, Creamy Spinach & Artichoke Dip, and their Coconut Shrimp. For our entree, in the past we've ordered: Grilled Chicken with Cilantro-Crema, Jerk Chicken Pasta, Grilled Salmon and their Applewood Bacon & Cheddar Burger. Everything comes out consistently hot and delicious. I would say that the Grilled Chicken lacks some seasoning, esp for a Caribbean themed restaurant. Other than that, there are lots of tasty flavors and spices that can get your palate going. The restrooms are toward the back and they've been in decent condition. Most of the time, the toilets and sinks are functioning and their soaps and paper products are usually stocked. There's a changing table in the women's restroom. Overall, our experience here has been satisfactory. The food and service is great and the price is even greater when you take advantage of their happy hour, which we highly recommend! read more

Had a great time dining at Bahama Breeze. The ribs were delicious, the Filet Mignon was cooked just right, and the Coconut Shrimp with the citrus-mustard dip was so tasty. Even the yuca frites (which I'm usually not a fan of) were crispy and delicious with that jerk honey butter. Patricia took great care of us with spot-on food and drink recommendations. The pineapple piña colada she suggested was refreshing and hit the spot. Tasty food and a fun tropical vibe, definitely worth checking out. Tip: Happy hour is the best time to sample their appetizers, select items are half off from 4-6 PM and 9 PM to close. read more

Thoughts: You definitely have to travel for good food and again +1 VA, MD trailing tragic Food: Beef Empanadas- O my o my o my, this was unshareable, I promise you if you reached for it you would have a fork in your hand lol. I would go back just for this - 9/10 Chicken Wings- Flavorful all the way down to the bone - 7.5/10 Whole Jamaican Jerk Wings- was really good even though I prefer my wings to have a little kick to it - 7.5/10 Jerk Shrimp Pasta- If I am being honest I didn't taste the jerk, I only tasted the parmesan cream sauce but still quite delicious -8/10 Skirt Steak Churrasco- I didn't have it but tasted a piece and it was well seasoned- 8/10 Flaming Pineapple Butter Cake- Any kind of cake with ice cream will always get good reviews but add pineapple with butter cake -9/10 Service: Great service the waiter kept checking in on us throughout the night and made sure we had what we need and was very honest about which food tasted the best in his opinion Ambiance: Definitely a great date night spot and location is near an arcade so winning a teddy bear for the lady as you work off dinner is an option Recommendation: If somebody just happened to send me the recipe for the beef empanadas and Flaming Pineapple Butter Cake that would be appreciated lol. Yes I would recommend a solid 8.5/10 read more

This is my second time at this location, it was a group of 6 of us. I picked this location because I do like the vibe, I like the curb appeal and the ambiance is pretty nice there but when it comes to the food, I am convinced I am not ordering the right things or the things I like. I read reviews and get the things people say is good then when I get it I don't like it. Our server was nice enough to recommend things to us. It was really helpful. I got the the skirt steak churrasco. I wanted to get the Cuban sandwich but I changed my mind last minute. I don't eat a lot of seafoods, I only eat certain fishes, If I did, I would have gotten shrimp because I heard they are good. 2 people in our group got the Jamaican jerk chicken and they loved it. I should have gotten the jerk chicken too. Other than that the rest of us thought our foods was okay, a bit tasteless. I have been to the Bahamas before and loved the food I had there but this was a little different for me. Next time I won't change my mind and stick to what I really wanna eat. We got the ultimate pina colada and it was pretty good. I plan on going back to try some of the appetizers. Overall, great experience. It was a busy Saturday night. I did reserve a table a day before and we were seated right away. read more

Location/Ambiance 4/5- Next to the mall so you get plenty of parking. The inside is nice and remind you of a restaurant on the island with outside seating with plenty of fans to stay cool and breezy. Service 2/5- Omg service was the worst. Sat down no water for over 5 minutes, no utensil and napkin until they some plastic utensil in a package for us to use. Not sure if it because we were sitting outside. It like they were too busy talking to each other than wanting to serve. They were nice but not attentive at all. Food 4/5- Food was delicious!! Ultimate Pineapple colada drink 3/5 ($9.49)- It was way too sweet almost to much syrup that you didn't get much natural flavor from the pineapple Wings 3/5 ($14.49) The wing were not bad but kind of taste like your average wing from domino's pizza. The spicy sauce that makes it taste better Beef Empanada 3/5 ($12.49)- Great filling flavor of the beef but the filling was so minimal, needed more filling to balance the wrapper dough Steak Churrasco 5/5 ($25.99)- Great flank steak, good portion and the flavor was so nice and savory Red Snapper 5/5 ($23.99) - Amazing and normally I don't like fish beside salmon. The snapper was cook perfect and fresh that come with great flavor rice. I would come back but not anytime soon hoping the service will be better in the future or maybe i will just order carry out read more

Visited the Potomac mills location and had the chowder for dinner. Very delicious. My concern, or more so, an observation. I have sat at the bar to eat and drink many times over the years and it has always disturbed me that the drink machines are on the floor. I asked a bartender if bending over multiple times per shift bothered their back, and they confirmed it did but it was a part of the job. It seems this restaurant would realize this is back breaking work and move the machines up to a workable height. How much trouble could this possibly be? And why are customers drinks so close to potential floor splash? Shouldn't the food inspectors flag this as a violation of sorts? I certainly dont order drinks from those machines because of all that I have discussed above. Bahama Breeze do better. I will be back to see if they are concerned enough to relocate the machines up higher. read more

First and foremost: excellent service! Our waitress was so attentive and fun, really just made a great impression. Tasty (and strong) drink options and crab dip was a definite must. My fish tacos were just okay but I definitely will come back to try other things on the menu. read more

I came here with my family to have a quick lunch. Had a few gift cards to use but I had an okay experience. We were promptly seated after walking into the restaurant, there's a lot of tables that were empty and it was moderately quiet. At the tables, they had the little kiosk machine where you could call your waiter, play games or just pay for your check there instead of waiting on someone to hand you the bill. Very convenient. For our appetizer, we got the Crab and Three Cheese Dip. It came out pretty quick from our server with a moderate amount of chips but the cheese dip, you had a lot of. We ate that while we waited on our food and surprisingly there was a lot more crab. It wasn't bad at all. I got the Tequila Sunburn Glazed Salmon. It's a dish with Pineapple-Mango Salsa served with Cinnamon Mashed Sweet Potatoes and Green Beans. Honestly when the dish came out it looked a bit underwhelming. Maybe the portion sizes just look a bit small to me but then again it was just lunch. The salmon was a bit dry but the pineapple-manga salsa sorta helped. I had to grab my drink while eating my salmon. Cinnamon Mashed Sweet Potatoes.. they are okay. I didn't taste cinnamon at all but the sweet potatoes I did for sure. I added some salt and pepper and it made it a bit better. Green Beans well.. they are green beans. We'll leave it at that. Our server was great, I don't have much complaints other than maybe I should have picked something else. The appetizer was good but the entrée made me wanting to pick up something else on the way home. Will I stop by again? Perhaps another time; but I know Woodbridge has better food options. read more

This is the first time we have been here. It is decorated nice with island music playing. The staff is friendly and took our order quickly.

Bahama Breeze - Woodbridge While on a business trip and looking to try something different, I decided to check out Bahama Breeze. The atmosphere immediately stood out--festive and vibrant with a Caribbean vibe, both in appearance and music. The service was excellent! The server was very friendly and provided great suggestions on appetizers, drinks, and the main course. Here's what I ordered: Appetizer: Beef Empanadas - Four housemade pastries filled with seasoned beef and potatoes, paired with seasoned sour cream and pineapple chutney for dipping. The empanadas were crispy and flavorful, a great start to the meal. Drink: Bahamarita - A frozen margarita with tequila, kiwi-melon, strawberry, and mango flavors, served with a spiked cactus juice shot on the side. Refreshing and unique! Meal: Skirt Steak Churrasco - 10-oz. skirt steak with chimichurri, served with yellow rice, black beans, and sweet plantains. The flavors were great, and the meal was well-presented, but the skirt steak was a bit tough--still edible, but not as tender as I hoped. Overall, the food came out quickly, everything was hot, and the flavors were spot on. While the skirt steak wasn't perfect, I'd definitely come back and try something else next time. If you're in the mood for a Caribbean escape with good food and drinks, Bahama Breeze is worth a visit! read more

My fiancé and I went here on Friday night for happy hour. We were blown away by how good the food and service was. Alycia was our server and she was so nice and attentive. The drinks were also all really good. We'll definitely be coming back and asking for Alycia to take care of us again. 5/5 star experience. read more

Staff and food was great! I am sad to hear that the restaurant chain is closing down.

This was my first time visiting! I must say the experience was amazing. Parking and seating was easy. We chose to dine outside. We had one of the most amazing and positive waiters. I forgot his name but he had a numeral tattoo on his had and is from India. He gave us great recommendations. The ambience was great while we waited for our food. There was lots of Caribbean and Latin music playing. Now on to the food. We ordered appetizers but it was happy hour. I ordered the conch fritters and chicken tostones. That was more than enough food for the price. Appetizers are half off during happy hour. The food was delicious. I would definitely recommend. read more

Dined here with my beau for a quick bite. Place was clean and food came out in a timely fashion considering we got there at 10pm and it closes at 11pm. Food was ok and I would visit again. I enjoyed my beverage but couldn't taste any alcohol. We enjoyed the crab dip and coconut shrimp. My steak wasn't as tasty as everything else was. I ordered medium but got medium well and it lacked seasoning. The service was ok - waiter was polite. Will come back with the kids. read more

The last thing I want to see in a restaurant I'm paying a lot to eat and drink is the staff break room in the dining room!

view/Feedback: I went out for dinner with my husband and we were seated near the bar area. Unfortunately, the experience was very disappointing. The female bartender was extremely rude and unprofessional. She loudly and dismissively announced that she would not be serving our table and demanded someone else take over, all within earshot. Her attitude and lack of basic courtesy made us feel very unwelcome. Because of this, I would not recommend dining near the bar area. It really affected what should have been an enjoyable night out. However, Amanda made up for the behavior. She was great . She courteous and her positive attitude is the only reason why I gave this place three stars. read more

1000/10 recommend this place!!! The decor, ambience, vibes everything was top notch! Well seasoned food and errrrthing! Decent prices meal & a great location given you can do a lot in the mall before or afterwards. We had great service from the waiters and even the manager walks around to ask how you're doing & if you need anything else. The food was well seasoned with just the right amount of spice. Don't get me started on them drinkssssssssssss. Babyyyyy you def have to try their Bahama mama, it a sweet cocktail but beware cuz it'll sneak up on you if you drink too much. Another reason I liked the place is because of the live music they have if you choose to sit outside. Come during happy hour for lots of great discount on appetizers and drinks. 4-6pm Mon - Fri. 9-close weekends. read more

I've had the privilege of dining at Bahama Breeze as a kid. As an adult, I sometimes come back to eat some of my favorite dishes here. I love the skillet shrimp and the empanadas. This time I decided to try the yuca cheese sticks and they were good! I also enjoyed my bahama mama here. My only issue with this place is the service. The service is below average. I found that I have to request items several times. Ive visited this particular location and sat at the bar each time. Each time the service is below average. The wait staff tends to hang by the bar and chit chat as well. Food is always good but the service needs improvement. read more

I wasn't a fan of Bahama Breeze but I can honestly say I stand corrected. The staff and service were really nice and equally helpful. We decided to sit in the outside area to enjoy the weather but the overall layout is welcoming. Ordered the Jerk Chicken Pineapple Bowl with yellow rice instead of white and I'm here to tell you it was some of, if not the best pineapple bowl rice combo I've ever had. The jerk mixed with the sweet pineapple and yellow rice was perfect, trust me. As a drink I got two Bahamaritas. Even though it has tequila in it don't expect a buzz but it is delicious. The only negative I have with this place were the menus were nasty but I overlooked that little detail. Now I wish I ordered another Pineapple bowl to go lol. read more

Honestly this place was soooo bomb! I haven't been to Bahama Breeze in YEARS! And the food here was really good! I came with my family and it was super yummy! We started with the jerk shrimp appetizer and empanadas! The jerk shrimp appetizer was super good and came with bread but I wouldn't call it jerk lol. Still delicious!!!! The empanadas are one of one. So yummy! The drinks were also amazing!!! Next time I come back will be for happy hour since it's half priced apps, honestly that's all you need! For my meal I had the jerk chicken wings and wow, fantastic!!!!!! The only reason I took a point off was because the service was extremely slow and the bathroom wasn't cleaned. Other than that it was great and I would return! We sat on the porch at the high tops and felt like we were transported somewhere else. read more

Bahama Breeze is a strong 4.5 and by the time I'm done with this review it may be a 5..lol! Now, I've seen this restaurant since its inception many years ago, problem is, it's right across from the Cheesecake Factory, which is one of my all time favorite mid level restaurants! So everytime I was walking to Bahama Breeze I'd detour and end up at Cheesecake.. Smh!! Not this time! I was determined to make it in and boy am I glad I did!!! The food was very good but the drinks were incredible! By the name, yes everything was island themed, just check out my pics! I'm a shrimp lover and they have several shrimp options!! The drinks may look pretty but trust me, they were just as strong as they were pretty!! I wish Bahama Breeze expands to Alexandria or even the National Harbor.. We have the space and we'd be HAPPY to have you!! :)) read more

The restaurant is a nice building, very well-suited to gatherings and celebrations. But the food isn't anything special; sure, it's generally good, but sometimes falls short of expectations when looking at price. Calories across the board are inflated for what the dish is, which suggests an over-reliance on oils and butter. Service is always good though. read more

Such a cute place for good food. They have lots of options to choose from. I ordered a seafood paella which was good and the seafood Alfredo a second time.

I came here once during Happy Hour. Stopped by while I waited for my car to charge. Was excited to try Bahama Breeze as I've never been here. I really don't enjoy giving bad reviews. It just feels negative. But this experience was NOT enjoyable. Service at the bar was poop. Drinks were nasty. I ordered a sangria and had to send that back. Then I ordered a more popular frozen drink and that was equally terrible. Its a shame because I can see this being a nice place to come after work or a nice place to throw a company function. But nope. I will not be coming back here. The drinks and service was so bad, I didn't even want to try the food read more

This was my first time here and it met my expectation. Service was good and the food was awesome. Atmosphere: Tropical, a little dark but still felt welcoming. Casual dining. Service: Although it was quite busy, our server was attentive: making sure our drinks were filled and checking on us Food: I've never had jerked chicken pasta before, but this was probably one of the best restaurant pastas I've ever had. It's cheesy, but not too cheesy or basic like other Alfredo pastas. The chicken wasn't dry and was full of seasoning. If you are a fan of pastas, this is a must go place. read more

We came here because we heard about their great happy hour from 4-6 and we had a gift card. When we got in, we noticed it wasn't as busy as we expected and we were able to get a table near the bar. I did find out that happy hour was for the whole restaurant so that's a plus. We tried 4 of the 5 speciality drinks that were $5 each which was a super great deal. The Frozen Bahamarita, Ultimate Pina Colada, Mojita Cubano, and the Pineapple-Coconut Martini were all solid. Both the Frozen Bahamarita and Ultimate Pina Colada weren't too boozy and were more frozen and fruity. We also ordered the spinach dip & chips, coconut shrimp, and beef empanadas, each for half price. The spinach dip & chips were pretty run of the mill. I was more a fan of the shrimp and empanadas, both solid. We got everything in during the happy hour window and our server was busy bartending too so service was pretty good. Definitely a great happy hour deal in Woodbridge so it's worth a shot for cheaper dinner and drinks. read more

Went to Bahama breeze with my girls for lunch. This was my first time going for lunch so I got one of the lunch combos. The lunch combo was a decent portion. Seafood is pretty light in general so I didn't expect to feel super stuffed. The seafood chowder was surprisingly very good! I'm not a huge drinker by any means but the dragon fruit margarita didn't taste like it had ANY tequila in it. Also the service was pretty terrible or else I would have given them a 4/5 star review. Food wise everything was great. read more

We stopped in after after a very brief shopping trip due to coming back from the football game. We were looking for something that was quick, but allowed us to sit for a bit. There was no wait and plenty of seating, but we chose to sit at the bar because we find that we usually get better service there. Our bartender was pleasant and offered good suggestions for both drinks and food. I got a nice frozen drink to help ease my sore throat after yelling at the game. I don't typically order a salad, but the Salmon salad sounded good. Plus it was a recommendation from the bartender. My one slight issue was the wait that it took for the food to come out. The restaurant wasn't busy, but our food took about 40 minutes to come out. I thought that was a little long for pasta and salad. There was live music getting ready to get started as we were leaving. I'm assuming they had a NYE party starting shortly. read more

I'm giving BB about 3.5 stars. We frequent this location because my daughter loves this place. It is kid friendly and they have a good kid's menu. Overall, the food is good and we like the happy hour appetizer specials. I would give them a higher score if the service was more consistent. Sometimes service is good and sometimes it's just okay and that's based on how attentive the server is, etc. I really like the jerk shrimp appetizer in the skillet. read more

Two stars were awarded for the quality of the food and drinks. However, the service was extremely slow. Our group of local educators was simply attempting to enjoy some drinks and appetizers, but it took over 30 minutes for our orders to arrive. Thats 30 for drinks and 30 for food and anything after also took 30 minutes. The waiters rarely visited our tables, and those who ordered soft drinks were not even offered refills. The manager was also unhelpful and generally unpleasant. Although I doubt we will return, I felt compelled to share this feedback. I also ordered food with the host up front they took my number to text me when my order was ready. I waited 45 minutes and never received a text message. I finally went up to ask for an ETA and my food had been sitting on the counter for who knows how long because it was cold and soggy by the time I got it home (6 minute drive). read more

I typically love this restaurant however, my recent experience was not favorable. When entering the restaurant I noticed it was a little warm inside but I attributed it the rising temperature outside. I sat at the bar as it seemed to be a tad bit cooler than the main dining room. I ordered the Seafood Paella and a Sangria. My food was brought out at a reasonable amount of time and everything tasted good. I began to notice other patrons at the bar fanning themselves with menus at the bar and then shortly afterwards they decided to leave the restaurant as it began to get extremely hot inside. It was apparent the air conditioning was not working on a 90+ degree day. Approximately 10 minutes into my meal I began to get extremely hot as well. Within a few minutes the heat was unbearable. After failed attempts to cool myself off I rushed out of the restaurant leaving my friend who was dining with me behind because I felt like I was overheating and I needed air conditioning. Unfortunately, it was too late as I entered the parking lot I began to vomit. I found relief in my car with the air conditioner on the highest setting. It took approximately 15-20 minutes for me to gather myself. My friend asked if I would return inside of the restaurant and I simply couldn't. Overall, the food was good but I couldn't enjoy it because there was NO AIR CONDITIONING!!!! read more
