I love coming here because it's a relaxing atmosphere. Very chill. Plus the food and drinks are great! The bartenders are very attentive and pleasant. I especially come here for happy hour on Fridays, 4pm - 6pm. All the appetizers are half off and drinks are reasonably priced. They know how to pour a Guinness very well. I'm sad all Bahama Breeze locations are closing down next month, in April 2026. read more

02/2026 Rating: 4.0 After a disappointing meal at the location in north of Dade County, my hopes for this visit is to be a more desirable one. RESTRAURANT: The restaurant always have that chill island vibe. Parking was pretty packed at this time and looking from the outside patio, I thought the place was dead. That's because everyone was inside hiding from the 73 degree air outside. The decor is right on theme. The lighting was dim enough to be romantic but also bright enough to emulate the island sun setting vibe. In the patio, the area was clean. There were chairs stacked on one side that made me feel sad that they are not as busy as they used to. Music was vibing, some TVs were on. The restroom is clean and fully stocked. SERVICE: We were greeted as soon as we entered. And our server (Chris?) was very friendly, attentive and swift. He got the order in, and next thing we know the wings are out, then our drinks and then the rest of our meal. He was so attentive, replenishing my son's drink without prompt like clockwork. He happily handled my birthday reward and gift card. He was a ray of sunshine. FOOD: We enjoyed some happy hour menu like the half off jerked chicken wings, conch fritters and a Bahama Mama. My son had the applewood bacon and cheddar burger with fries. The chicken wings looked a bit lackluster, unlike the ones you see in the menu where it's glistening from the its oily sweat off the grill. So I was already expecting to be dry as heck. But, surprisingly enough, every part of the wings were moist, and with the sauce, it was fingerlickin good. The conch fritters tasted as if they just took it out the fryer; I just wished we had a whole bowl of that mango pico de gallo. The burger was a good size, was medium well like we ordered and delicious. The bahama mama was a good recommendation from our server; it was sweet and strong. Yeah, I'm a light weight. The presentation on each dish and drink with the thin slices of pineapples tells me that despite the circumstances, they are continuing to put effort on making the meal looks aesthetically pleasing. And for the happy hour price, you really can't go wrong with anything on the appetizer menu. Overall, this was far better experience hands down. I am grateful for the opportunity presented by Mr. Odem to make things right. My friends and I grew up near this location. It was one of the first places we considered being in a "club" because people are drinking and yet we, kids, were allowed to be there and dance. And so hearing that this location and all the restaurants are schedule to close is very sad. Thank you for the good food, music and memories. read more

I haven't been here since I was a young adult. I've been wanting to take my husband that's never been there before , turns out we both forgot our anniversary's , so last minute we decided to come here, and what an amazing choice. Instantly I felt like I was in south beach in the middle of Kendall. The whole place was spotless and the staff including Chris the bartender were all super nice We ordered some drinks and realized happy hour started at 9, so we got the linguine pasta with shrimp and lobster. Wow better than red lobster. We also tried the famous coconut shrimp. And we also got the conch fritters which were the best I've had so far. They were nice enough to put the game on for us. Great place! We will be back soon!! Loved the mocktails for my husband too!! read more

Highly recommend! read more

The place was almost empty and the waitress did not come back to check on us often. We came in on a Monday and I did enjoy my virgin piña colada and the jerk chicken pasta was pretty good. The serving size was pretty large for it being the smaller one, but it makes sense with the price being so high for pasta. Overall, it was OK and I think everyone at the table enjoyed what they got. I am glad that they made a note about shellfish allergies that I did have, especially in a place where a lot of of it is seafood. read more

One of my favorite things about a great meal at Bahama Breeze is the service from Pratima. She is phenomenal and so attentive. We make sure to ask for her always. Thank you for making sure we have a great experience. read more

Might be nostalgia, but it's sad to see them go. I have many fond memories of eating at this restaurant over the years, and while the goat cheese stuffed peppers and many other items were removed from the menu; the food has been solid during our recent visits. Not sire when they're closing but fine out and support them for one lady hoorah! read more

Great service by Pritima and tasty food. Appreciative of the food recommendations. Fast food delivery and fun atmosphere. Going to definitely miss this place. read more

Food was OK. It's a convenient spot for happy hour and good tropical drinks and apps. I say ok because nothing really stood out.

Yelpers, I went to have lunch with our friends from Texas and London, England. We were looking for a place with some good drinks, tropical drinks. And good food, and wheelchair accessible. By the time we arrived, they were so friendly, accommodating. The waitress was so friendly! We chose to stay inside. And that was the best decision. The music was amazing! The food was right on point! The atmosphere was amazing...Thanks you for making our vitiating so enjoyable! The friends from Texas and London, England...We will come back soon...! read more

It's no wonder why this place is closing down in April. I ordered a pain killer and it came without nutmeg. When I told it later, he got upset that I was questioning how the drink was made. From that point on the service was terrible. The food was mediocre. I would not recommend it. read more

Not bad for a casual lunch or dinner. The jersey chicken pasta is very good for my taste and the seafood paella as well, so much seafood, just a bit too salty. For appetizer we ordered the coconut shrimp and spinach dip. I liked the spinach dip a lot. Staff are very nice, courteous and fast. read more

This place is GREAT! One of the better chain restaurants around IMHO. We always leave asking ourselves - "why don't we come here more often?" Place is nice, clean... has a full bar... food is really good... service is very good... has a good happy hour menu... has it all! I had the Blackened Mahi Tacos, my wife had the Chicken Tostones (seasoned chicken & cheese over fried green plantains - SO GOOD!), we shared the 3 cheese Crab Dip which was really good! Each had 2x Classic Margaritas. And our daughter (who shared our food) ordered a N.A. Piña Colada which she loved! Our server - Orlando was Amazing! Great experience (as usual!). Will be back for Happy Hour *or* Monday $5 Margaritas! read more

Visited with a group about 20 for a work event. The space itself is very large and there was no problem Van our entire group in a back part of the restaurant and having it all to ourselves. It was midweek, but was still surprised that that whole half of the restaurant was empty except for our group. We had great servers who were attentive and making sure our drinks were never empty and our food was coming out quickly. We had a pre set menu with shared appetizers conch fritters and empanadas. We also each had a starter salad and then chose from three entrées. There was ribs, salmon, or a crema grilled chicken. I opted for a the chickens d it was very good. The sauce was a little sweeter than I like, but was very tasty. With so many options, I don't know if I would choose this as my go to spot next time I am in town, but, it was a good choice for our large group. read more

Honestly my go to order at Bahama breeze is the jerk chicken wings. To be fair it's the only thing in the menu that I enjoy. My partners meal was pretty subpar but still decent enough to eat. read more

I came here with my grandparents and it was GREAT. Good price point for the amount of food, and the happy hour is worth the early arrival. The service was quick and the food came out hot. I'll be back for sure! For planning purposes - they have live music outside sometimes that is quite loud. If you're into that, it's fun!

Bahama Breeze is a beautiful restaurant with great indoor and outdoor seating areas. The tables are not packed together so the place feels spacious and inviting. The service was great, our waitress was very friendly and kept coming back to check on the table. I order 2 Blackened Mahi Tacos, the tacos were ok okay, but not amazing. The tostones I ordered as a side were great. read more

It's been over a decade since I've been here. Happy hour prices are great! $5 piña colada and $7 ahi tuna tostada stack! Glasses are bigger and the whole tostada is covered with tuna. Service is a bit slow (bartender is by herself taking care of tables and bar) but we had a great time pretending we're in the Bahamas or on a cruise lol. Will definitely be back for more! read more

This place used to be the SHIT! Now it is just a piece of SHIT . OMG!! This restaurant is in a prime location in Kendall. Takes up the whole corner and the movie theaters and a few other stores and offices, sit behind it. There is no reason for this restaurant to ever be empty! Yet, it is now empty all the time. Been there a handful of times in the last three weeks and it is just SAD!! Outside bar closed, one server who takes forever, and just deserted. I was told this restaurant will be closing down and reopening under another name within the next 6 to 12 months. Unfortunately, if this restaurant keeps running the way it has been till it closes, It will probably hurt the next restaurant that comes in as people will still look at it as the Bahama breeze location. I was told the same management and employees will stay for the new restaurant. This place has been there for years and years. So sad to see corporate/management run it to the ground the way they have. Drinks are total garbage now, and food is mediocre at best (sometimes). Happy hour specials are barely specials at all, especially the crappy drinks!!! Adios Bahama Breeze, you had a good run. read more

I like this place for a few reasons. The patio offers a very nice outdoor seating area, and in the winter months it's perfect. The frozen drinks are so yummy, and the jerk shrimp skillet is AMAZING!! If you're looking for a tropical vibe, this is a tiny piece of that in the hustle & bustle of Kendall. Now for the negative. Though it is named Bahama Breeze, there is not much Bahamian vibes going on at all. More like Cuba Breeze. That's fine if you want to play Latin music, but not one island song is played so it really doesn't give the Bahamas vibe. Also, when we were there on a Friday night recently the music was RIDICULOUSLY loud. I asked if they could turn it down at all, even just a notch, but they said no :( read more

Went here for happy hour! Love the deals. The service was extremely slow however. So make sure you order as much as you can when you do have your server. The desserts were tasty. read more

Was in town for family business and decided to visit this restaurant. I am familiar with Bahama Breeze and figured this was a good choice. As usual, love the overall vibes.

This Bahama Breeze is in Kendall right by the Turnpike. I usually come to Bahama Breeze exclusively for their happy hour but came to this one after a session of pickle ball with some friends. It was one of our friend's first time there so we had to get a lot of classic dishes for her to try. We were seated right away, and it wasn't too busy even though it was around lunchtime on a Sunday. The service was speedy and our server took the order on little tablet on at our table. We ordered: the empanadas, coconut shrimp, seafood paella, virgin ultimate pina coladas, grilled chicken with cilantro crema, and the chocolate island for dessert. Everything was delicious and came out super fast. You can also pay for your meal without the server at the tablet at our table which is what we did. read more

Not all 5 star reviews have to be in a high end dine dining establishment. And this is the case with Bahama Breeze! I always feel like I'm on a breezy tropical vacation when I come here. But it's in Kendall! They have amazing happy hour specials from 4- 6pm / 9pm- close on weekdays. They also have an extended happy hour Sundays 9pm-close. I've been here multiple times but our waitress Hailey stands out from everyone who serves me. She is friendly, always recommending items on the menu and goes out of her way to make my experience a pleasant one. Their Bahama mama is a must have cocktail when you come along with their ultimate pineapple cocktail which is served inside a pineapple! Great amazing of liquor and you will feel them kick in after your second or third one. Their Caribbean music always gets me in a good mood. I've had almost everything on their menu but today we had the "Yuca cheese sticks" which are interestingly delicious and are served with a garlic green sauce. We also had their "Coconut shrimp" which is a favorite amongst customers. For dinner we had the "Lobster & shrimp linguini" ... so delicious. Amazing portion and decent amount of sauce. You can ask for shredded cheese upon request for that extra touch. Their "Bacon Cheeseburger" was what any cheeseburger should be, delicious and flavorsome! I always look forward to visiting ! read more

Celebrated our anniversary here. Food was excellent, attention was good... until our server promised to check with the manager about marking the occasion and never circled back. Several years together -- at least she still got a 20% tip. read more

This place fucking sucks. As soon as my party and I sat down we noticed foul stench which must have been emanating from the kitchen and it had stained itself into the carpets. We got up and moved across the resturant and it smelled worse. Honestly thought it was funny, but these are no conditions to be eating in. As for the food. 3/4 members in our party got the baby back rips. DO NOT GET THE RIBS. couldn't rip them apart I honestly think the food was fake. Could've came from a dumpster. Unchewable. left it completely untouched. read more

They're having a mouse problem. You can smell it the minute you step onto their patio. We had to leave and cats are not the answer to fixing this problem as they carry a certain type of parasite that 60% of the population has. For now this is my rating till they fix the rodent problem. When I come back, I will edit my rating. read more

Delicious food and drinks. Great and fast service with a Bahamian vibes. Caribbean inspired meals rich with tropical flavors and sauces. I dropped by for a little me time and sip on an Ultimate Piña Colada which is delicious. Definitely recommend for dinner with friends, family or just because. The only downside is the parking. They do offer valet. read more

What happened to the small delicious crispy conch fritters !! They are now served with an aioli instead of sweet chili and they are mostly breading with no conch.
