Hey yall I'm back it's been awhile but I'm back with another exciting new review..... next up is Bahama Breeze. lets get to it....... So my son wanted to go here for his birthday we went here once before and it wasn't that stellar, but it was his choice so I do my regular thing like time to see how long it would take for a server to come at our table it took 8.52 mins for Sydney to help us mind you a couple that came in 5mins after us was served immediately STRIKE #1. Sydney was attentive but... she needed to smile more I know serving people can be grueling but it comes with the job, that's why I work by myself ;) Sydney was Johnny on the spot with refills but she did it stone faced, even my son commented about it. Now for the food..... I had the fish tacos and I can safely say that Chesapeake Inn fish tacos are better(PLUG). Now for the scoring...... Cleanliness 10 FOOD 7 SERVICE 5 that includes being seated. :( Well that's it, if you like my reviews please comment and Thank you for all the likes and comments. read more

Bahama Breeze - The Fish Tacos are good, BUT the ones at Chesapeake Inn is better. - Bars Near Me - Newark, Delaware

Took my niece out for dinner yesterday. Greeted quickly. We sat at the bar, my receipt had Samantha on there. Anyway, we sat at bar and she asked if we wanted any drinks, mind you she never greeted us. So she started doing something else and eventually came back. Her tone was unwelcoming and came off very abrasive. We eventually put in some apps wings which were cooked to order, my niece & I enjoyed. Cant remember the other blonde lady that bought over our food, she was bubbly and friendly. We called the bar tender and again, asked for drinks, we ordered the pineapple drink that should have came with the whole pineapple, Samanta was short and sarcastic so i asked her do u like ur job...because you aren't friendly & abrasive. She made the excuse that she was really tired. No excuse, so we were talking about drinks and thats when she was speaking nice, but in a fake way. Idk i didnt appreciate her work ethics at all. I understand we all have bad days, but geesh. Any way her counterparts bringing our entree buttermilk chicken, & cilantro chicken breast was good & hot. Sadly we had to ask for plates for the wings and my neice had to get silverware from off the table. The bartender was chatting it up with her colleague about what we told her, we can hear them snickering. Oh well, she ended up making me the wrong flight and my neice didn'tget what she asked for. She wasnt attentive at all. She didn't card my niece which definately was a red flag. The gentleman bussing the table received her tip because she didnt deserve it. read more

This was our fourth visit to Bahama Breeze. We have always had good service here and today was no exception. Corrinda is friendly and attentive without hovering and everything was delivered to table at a good pace. The food is admittedly a little pricey, but quality, quantity and presentation were very good. Food and service today would get a 5, unfortunately the actual menus cost the rating. The specialty drink menu had obviously had a drink spilled on it and the outside was spattered and sticky. The regular menu I received was literally falling apart and again was not clean on the outside. It's one thing when you read that restaurant menus are in the top 10 germiest things in a restaurant, but in this instance, they made it to #1. We will probably return because we do like the Caribbean food and have no problems with their service. However, if cleanliness issue repeats, that will be it. (I do want to say that restrooms we're very nice and clean) read more

Food is good and place is clean. I think my husband and I went at a great time one day because the food came out so so fast. I just wish they'd put the bananas foster back on the dessert menu. It's excellent. read more

Service was great! Food was pretty bad. Conch fritters were not great- only 6 which is fine for the price (5.99) but they were kind of burnt. The coconut shrimp tacos were soggy & the soup thin (I had a lunch combo), and the jerk chicken sandwich was dry- jerk chicken should be marinated this was dry with sauce on the side. Drinks tasted like mix.. It was ok- definitely better chains out there. read more

Bahama breeze makes great food, ordered the fire cracker shrimp. Only problem, they are a little bit over priced.

The host was nice and even told us to have a good night as she sat us. Loved that, that's the only reason this got 2 stars. Would have made it one other wise. My friend noticed a used napkin with dust and lipstick on it that was just chilling on the booth. I doubt this table was even cleaned since there was nothing in the table when we got sat. Service was mediocre, server never checked up on us and was super quiet when he was around us, he seemed like a nice guy. (Maybe we caught him on a bad night). As we were paying the server forgot our box that we asked for, we used the little call help thing and waited at lease 13 minutes. I understand that he may have had other tables but as a server you should treat your tables as one big party. Honestly I'm very disappointed. I got the coconut shrimp, look I love coconut as much as the next kid but this was just coconut and hardy any shrimp! My friend got the butter milk chicken, The chicken wasn't crispy, it was fatter and tasted awful. The mashed potatoes didn't go very well with the beans and corn. Over all I wouldn't come back, but if you dig sea food by all means stop by here. Maybe we came in a bad day, I don't know, just wasn't at all what I was expecting - 2/5 stars read more

We had a big group and they were incredibly accommodating for us. Allowing us to change time on the fly. The staff was great- friendly, personable and incredibly helpful and patient with our 3 tables We had a great time. Drinks were fantastic and food was great. We had a fantastic evening- thanks!! read more

Bahama Breeze stands alone (literally, neighboring businesses are gone), but that yields more parking spaces. Great atmosphere, and all the dishes you see from my visits were delicious. Can't wait to return! read more

Ok so! This place is so Dirty!!! I look at everything, there seats in the booths are truly disgusting! I couldn't enjoy my food while sitting on that nasty ass seat! I asked to be moved to a table several times but because it was 3 off us and not 4 they couldn't move us! I won't be back read more

Such a great spot with a huge variety in their menu. You can practically get any meal that you want here. I got fish tacos and they were great- honestly I was full after two. They have an extensive summery drinks menu as well. Outdoor seating looks nice so I'll return in good weather. read more

Bahama Breeze - Yummy yummy Dreamin of blue seas - Bars Near Me - Newark, Delaware

I've been here a few times but never to any other location in this restaurant chains, so I don't know how it compares within the chain. I think the menu is interestingly different from the usual chain restaurant fare. This makes it hard to determine what I would like and not like, so it is a game of trial and error. For example, I wasn't too fond of the yuca fries but I liked the chicken curry and fish tacos. Menu prices are above average but I think one can still justify an occasional visit. Service was good. I thought the mouthwash in the restroom was an unusual amenity but I guess one might need it after having west indies spicy food. Also, they have free wi-fi internet. read more

understand, it's a different cultures take on Caribbean food.. the service was superb.. the chicken was so damn good LET ME TELL YOU they grilled it just right .. so it was a let down to realize the jerk sauce definitely was not jerk sauce. no scotch bonnet pepper what so ever. no heat at all. I'd go back for the chicken whenever I visit de again it's that good. but I'd bring the graces jerk sauce broccoli and string beans were tasty.. I had those to replace the rice and beans rice was crunchy and beans were .. not seasoned well enough.. I like the drinks and atmosphere.. had the colorful drink with the shot on the side besides the young man that decided to step in the corner still in sight of customers and hawk spit in the trash can blow his nose and whatever else.. thank goodness he left and was not our server. read more

Delicious dinner and great ambiance. Service was great and speedy. There was a long wait so reservations are encouraged

Great food, terrible management! Would not take my coupon that came up on my iPhone. Said corporate requires it to be printed out. I spend about 1000$ a year at this restaurant. This will cost them way more than $10 for not taking care of the customer. Steve Meadows read more

Went out to eat here for the first time. Service was great even on a busy night. Was told the wait was going to be 40 minutes or more but only waited half. Sat outside with the heaters and felt great. Service was quick, food was great and not too pricey. We even had our service dog with us, and they gave us no issue! read more

It was ok. A bothersome fly... I had a dry medium well 8oz steak with crabmeat in sauce w/ asparagus & regular mash potatoes. Great server Brittany! That is all. read more

I likes! ..better experience than I had at another location...this ones near but at the mall location...since it's warm out they had indoor and outside seating...we were promptly seated, they had a late happy hour thing going on which is great...but! I the pre menu gazer I went with the coconut shrimp as a appetizer, and paela as a the finisher..my girl the fake alchy had two pina coladas...not the plain Jane ones but super sain coladas...pretty strong and punchy...just the way it should be...our waitress let us know she has guests outside and that she wasn't ignoring us but she would be back and forth to see how we were doing ...great island vibe music playing, maybe we should of sat at the bar, where we were there wasn't any speakers (near the front side corner exit) 5 stars none the less! The plates were filling, and the waitress was great! read more

Came here this week to celebrate my friend's birthday and had a terrible experience with one of their servers. After meal, the waitress brought us a paper bill of $46.46. She had a mobile payment device and asked me whether I would add a 20% tip to the amount (didn't even show the screen for my signature or approval). Fair enough.. Then I asked for a guest copy of the receipt and she said it somehow can't be printed. I had a weird feeling about it and immediately checked my credit card balance on my phone . My suspicions were right, as I saw that I was charged $ 75.76. That means, she wrote in an additional $20 tip for herself on the top of my agreed 20%. I wanted to talk to their manager and a supervisor on duty printed out the receipt saying that the previous transaction will be canceled within 24 hours. However,both supervisor and the waitress didn't even bother to apologize for this mistake, fraud to be exact!! read more

Went there on a saturday early evening, with a friend. no wait, sat out on the patio, it was nice. ordered the Lemon Breeze with raspberry, it was so sweet it was undrinkable, maybe they put too syrup. i had to ask for a glass of water to be able to drink it. We ordered the conch fritters, and they were good but small, didnt seem to taste a lot of conch. i ordered the Salmon Tostada salad, my friend got the Chicken Crema (?). My salad was good, the salmon was great but not big. however the "salad" only had lettuce, corn, and maybe some chopped up tomatoes, with i think an olive oil dressing. Overall it was ok but couldve been better. my friends dish was good but looked small. Service was good & friendly but the stupid little tablet thing on the table they wanted us to pay with didnt work well, took 3 tries & assistance from the server before it completed. annoying. Not sure i will go back. read more

Bahama Breeze - Had Jerk Chicken Pasta, Lobster & Shrimp Linguine and a Long Island Iced Tea. - Bars Near Me - Newark, Delaware

Bahama breeze is a great place to go for good food and drinks with an island twist. They have a great happy hour from 4-6 and again in the evening from 9-close I believe, not sure if this is offered on the weekends as well. Happy hour includes a nice selection of cocktails and wonderful appetizers that you won't believe you're getting for the price! I recommend the lobster & shrimp quesadilla, crab stack and they have the best Keylime pie for taste and presentation that I've ever had!... FYI in nice weather they have live music, normally featuring calypso, outside where you can sit, eat and drink while catching an island vibe. read more

Visited last night on a previous time my friend went for happy hour and enjoyed it. Went with a friend and one of my kids. We waited 15 minutes for an outside table to open up. When we were seated there were a couple open and we were seated in front of the live music, which we thought was cool, but later regretted it because we couldn't hear each other speak so conversation was limited. The outdoor ambience was the best thing the restaurant has going for it. My kid had the coconut shrimp, which she liked and my friend had a rice bowl which she didn't like and barely ate any. She had a drink though that she really enjoyed. The drink prices aren't listed or advertised, so obviously she didn't want any surprises. When her bill came at the end of the night, her drink was more expensive than her meal.. and the drink wasn't very big. On to my meal, disastrous, time consuming and frustrating. I wanted to order the mahi fish and shrimp bowl without the mahi n shrimp, just substitute those items with broccoli and Portobello mushrooms. They said no substitutions.. some places are like that, but you also learn who makes fresh food and who doesn't. Lesson learned. So I ordered my back-up choice, the Portobello mushroom and veggie sandwich on Cuban. My food comes out, I realize that it's a hamburger. I wait for the waitress, Samantha, to come back and start eating my side of rice and beans. At this point, I'm fairly hungry and dig in. The rice is not good, the beans are ok.. like canned beans that I could make myself. My party flags down the waitress, and I explain AGAIN that I'm a vegetarian, that if I don't eat fish or seafood, I'm definitely not going to eat beef. She argues that it's what I ordered, and I explain no I ordered the mushroom and veggie sandwich, she says she'll fix it. We wait a good 20 minutes or more, she brings out a black bean veggie burger.. and I'm looking like you gotta be kidding me. I explain again, even explaining what side of the page it's on on the menu the ingredients and everything. Mind you, she keeps bringing me more sides of the rice and beans that I do not like. Finally, my correct order comes out as my party is putting their leftovers in to go containers. Then she says, did he come out and see you. I have no idea who she is referring to, but I tell her that no, no one has visited our table. The manager, I'm assuming comes and explains he's sorry for the mixup, my meal is on the house, is there anything else here can do. I say yes, I need a box and the check. Samantha brings the check and of course it's wrong! My meal is on there 3 times and only taken off twice. She tells me to give her my card and she'll take care of it. I'm sorry, but I don't trust you.. you've already said that twice and not came through. Why should I believe you? The guy didn't start playing music until after our orders were placed, noise is not an excuse. read more

WORSE service I've ever had in a restaurant. Only one table of 6 there tonight. Our waitress Autumn was "training" another waitress - and I use that term very loosely. Once she brought our entrees she never came back to the table - never even asked us if the meals were ok. Didn't even clear the dirty dishes. Looked for her for 20 minutes to get the check - discovered she was standing in the bar with 4 other employees talking. Had to literally get half out of my seat and wave my arms to get her attention. We always leave a minimum of 20% for even average service - more for better service. The 10% my husband left was not even earned. The MENUS were still at our table with the dirty dishes when we left. OKAY. review above was from about 6 months ago - apparently I didn't hit the POST button and it saved as a draft. Unfortunately we went there 2 nights ago again and nothing has improved. Asked for a booth. Told none available. I pointed out an empty booth and was told reserved. It was - for an employee getting off work who happened to obviously be in a relationship with our waitress since she spent most of the night chatting with him instead of doing her job. He sat in that booth for over an hour with ONE beer - no food. Waitress was awful. I understand being short handed which means a 15 min wait to get a drink. I do not understand it taking 15 minutes just to get acknowledged and a glass of water when restaurant is not busy. Ordered a shared appetizer- finished before she managed to get little plates to us. Never - not once - did she stop by to ask if everything was ok. Frantically waving at her to get the bill because the payment thingy on the table wouldn't work - she was much too busy flirting with the guy in the booth. Seriously exasperated- won't go back. read more

Call me slow but I went to a Bahama Breeze years ago in Florida and did not realize until now that they are a pretty extensive chain. On this stop I had the Firecracker Shrimp Street Tacos -- Tender shrimp, roasted pineapple chutney, Sriracha aioli. Though I thought they would be a lot spicier than they were they were still very good. It was a quick meal stop on a long road trip and it worked out very well for us. (Thus no review on the drinks!!) read more

I pretty much never eat at chains but I was at Christiana Mall with my stepmom and we stopped in for a quick lunch so she wouldn't get hangry. I was pleasantly surprised! The service was good-- he refilled drinks and recommended the tacos. I decided to take his advice and had the coconut shrimp tacos with the yellow rice and black beans. They were served with a sriracha aioli which had the perfect amount of kick to it. My stepmom had a Cuban sandwich (which was massive) and fries which were awesome dipped in the sriracha sauce. The bill was under $30 for the two of us which is great! Was it the best meal I've ever had? Nah. But it was a nice, simple lunch that exceeded expectations. read more

Fucking Gross. I ate The seafood paella and it made me throw up. Eating the Yuca cheese sticks was like eating like melted plastic. Couldn't eat anymore of it. The other meals my family got were just basic as hell and not good at all. I do not know why the fuck people go here. read more

All in all, a pretty solid place to eat. The food is consistently pretty good and the service is fine. I think some items are a little overpriced for the quality but the portions are huge. read more

Service was great the food a little dey for my personal taste but the drinks were amazing and the place was nice and BREEZY haha

Food here is blah. I gave three stars because the service was good and there wasn't much of a wait for the food. I ordered the seafood paella and it wasn't really that good. The dish just seemed like it was cooked hours ago and they pooped it in the microwave when I ordered it. All the meat/seafood was dry and half my clams were bad (closed). ‍‍‍ Don't think I'll be back. The above was my honest review of my first visit. I have since been back and have to say that my following visit was a total 180. Maybe my first visit was a fluke. I will definitely be back. The service is excellent and the food amazing....this time I ordered the calypso shrimp linguine and it was the bomb.com. This place is my new fave. Glad I was open to giving them a second chance. I was also very impressed with management reaching out to take my review serious. read more

Pulled off the highway to this unknown. Probably our first mistake but we had a hungry toddler in the car and no clue where we were so we gave it a try. I tried to order the black bean tacos which were to be filled with black bean crumble. In fact, they literally sliced a black bean burger into thirds and put huge slices into a soft taco shell. WTF?! Have y'all never seen a taco? How exactly am I supposed to eat that? And if I wanted to eat your black bean burger, I would have ordered that! Also, FYI, neither the bean soup nor their black beans and rice are vegetarian. WHY????? I had to have french fries with my tacos because that was literally the only option left. Ew. Onto meal #2. We ordered the kids mac and cheese with fruit salad. The "cheese" was liquid, completely separate from the pasta. It was more like cheesy pasta soup. Also, the ketchup-sized fruit cup looks disgusting and was placed INSIDE the mac and cheese liquid, slowly cooking the fruit. Mashed pineapple and 2 grapes. Nice try on this one, gang. read more

So this is our first time here to this Bahama. We frequent the one close to home We were coming home and knew there was a Bahama Breeze here and that it was happy hour time. We stopped in to find our usually favorite happy hour appetizers served with a smile by Scott and Morgan behind the bar. There was good crowd in the bar and lots of friendly banter, which just makes the place more fun. Our new high school teacher friends sitting next to us had spinach dip which they said was creamy with just the right amount of spinach and cheese. They also had fun happy hour drinks including the ultimate pina colada frozen and the classic margarita made with a little bit of flare by Scott. Because we were on the road we stuck to root beer (IBC in a bottle, so good) served so cold you don't need a glass. I had the firecracker shrimp at Morgan's suggestion. They were yummy and crispy. The dipping sauce is a nice compliment, but they don't need it. My partner had the chicken tostones also crispy and a mix of tangy tomatoes and savory plantains. He loved them. Definitely a win. Bahama Breeze scores high for well made drinks, good atmosphere with a fun crowd, great food/appetizers and excellent service. Stop by and enjoy all of the above. read more

Girlfriend and I dined here this evening and we were served by Devin. He was personable/friendly and did a great job of checking in, while giving us our space as needed. When we were having a hard time deciding what we were going to eat, he made his recommendations and again, allowed us time to mull the menu over and make a decision. Once our meal was over he didn't hover in an attempt to rush us out - which was appreciated. Although he wasn't the only one we interacted with, he did help make our "reunion" special. The calamari was cooked just right, (so tired of overcooked, rubbery calamari!), and the coconut shrimp was surprisingly good, especially the citrus-mustard sauce. As neither of us are really big eaters, we both decided on ordering another appetizer - the Jamaican Jerk Wings - and a side - fried plantains - as our entree. WHY DID NO ONE TELL ME THE WINGS WERE HUGE?!?!?!? Although I didn't really taste the "jerk", I did taste the 'heat' (LOL)....and I was also pleasantly surprised to taste sweet plantains! (Not sure who does your 'shopping', but I need them to come go shopping with me next time, to help me pick out the proper ones to cook.) Thanks for a lovely evening! read more

Overall had a nice experience. I had the Honey Butter Crispy Chicken Sandwich and it was good enough.

Simply one of the worst dining experiences I've ever had. Waited 10 minutes to sit on patio, not bad and no problem there. They sat us 10 ft from the one man concert. You couldn't hear the person next to you and the hostess couldn't hear either. After a couple of minutes we simply requested to move inside. Ty was our server. I'll start by saying that she did a good job. She wasn't given the things she needed to succeed. It's about 8 pm on a Friday night. The floor of the restaurant was filthy and covered with food debris. After the ordered drinks and large sample app, my wife noticed how dirty the silverware was. The 3 rum drink trey came out and it was nasty. The trey itself was dirty with debris and terribly sticky. Drinks had no garnish and looked nothing like I ordered. She said they were out and offered a bowl of crushed pineapple. Sampler came out and it was decent. Wings were good, shrimp were good. The onion rings were over cooked and the conch fritters are pretty much just filler and vegetables. Shortly after the food arrived, my wife used the ladies room, ready for this....Bugs. There were bugs in the ladies room. Two on the sink base and several in the stahl area. Look, we know that restaurants will see the occasional bug, but several? In two different places and in the same bathroom. If the restaurant was filthy where we can see, imagine the kitchen. I requested the manager and insisted to pay for what was consumed and leave. Several minutes later I had to find the manager again for my bill And credit card back. He removed the app from the bill. I paid the $17.27 for my drinks and tipped the young lady $17.27. It's not her fault that she was set to fail by poor leadership and management. My bill would have been at least $150 when the 3 of us were done. Terrible establishment with horrible leadership. Absolutely gross and filthy. read more

The food here is really good, we always ordered seafood and the fish is really fresh. If you order the margarita you will love it and they really put some good quantity of alcohol in it. However, the service could be either good or ok.. read more
